Columbina's main playstyle is to universally enable Lunar Reactions to any team that she's in and to buff Lunar Damage as a whole.
Her damage and buffing capabilities scale with HP, which makes it imperative to have as much as possible until it caps out to maximize her entire kit.

In most cases, Columbina wants to have as much HP% as possible as her Lunar Reactions scales heavily on her HP.
You only want to have Energy Recharge on her Sands if you need her Elemental Burst every rotation.
Silken Moon's Serenade is her general best-in-slot for this build to alleviate her ER needs while also increasing Lunar Reaction DMG.

In scenarios where Columbina is the one that mainly triggers the reaction, like Lunar Bloom and Vaporize, Hydro DMG% in Goblet will yield to be more beneficial than HP%.
Reaching the HP cap for her buffs is still good, but wouldn't help much with her DMG as a driver. It's best to compensate for this through artifact substats.
Aubade of Morningstar and Moon will find more value in this build because it increases the potencies of her Lunar Reaction DMG. If she's the one on-field, you can opt to use Night of the Sky's Unveiling instead.
In the general run of things, you would want to have her on Silken Moon's Serenade and is usually her best-in-slot due to its Elemental Mastery and Lunar DMG buffs.
Aubade of Morningstar and Moon serves well as a secondary best option if Silken Moon is taken, while Tenacity of the Millelith is a great alternative if the team needs more ATK buff to have effective damage.

Nocturne's Curtain Call is Columbina's overall best weapon as it directly increases both her survivability and damage by improving HP, CRIT, and Lunar Reaction DMG, as well as lowering her ER costs.
Otherwise, Reliquary of Truth is not just a good statstick, but also synergizes with Columbina's Elemental Skill reliant gameplay. Her 4-star options are Sacrificial Jade for the damage and Favonius Codex for ER needs and support.

Columbina shines best when the team has Moonsign characters that is dedicated to the three Lunar Reactions. Namely, Ineffa, Lauma, and Zibai.
She can still be slotted in teams where she's the only Moonsign character. However, her Burst buffs loses a lot of value. Nevertheless, she still has her spot on those teams as she provides Hydro application with decent damage and still enables Lunar Reaction.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
|
Sub-DPS Ineffa is going to be the premier Lunar-Charge pairing for Columbina as she can consistently buff Lunar-Charged DMG while also giving defensive capabilties. |
|
|
Sub-DPS Similar to Ineffa, Lauma is going to be her premier pairing for Lunar-Bloom. Lauma shred Dendro and Hydro RES while also applying consistent Dendro DMG and buffing Lunar-Bloom DMG. |
|
|
Main-DPS Nefer benefits mainly from Columbina's Lunar Reaction DMG buff. In teams with Lauma, Lauma can make use of her Hold variation of her Elemental Skills, allowing her to trigger more Lunar-Bloom which in turn benefits Nefer. |
|
|
Main DPS Similar to Nefer, Flins benefits mostly out of proxy of Ineffa becoming more powerful with Columbina. Moreover, Columbina's Lunar Reaction DMG is appreciated by Flins' by making his attacks more potent. |
|
|
Main DPS As the premier Lunar-Crystallize DPS unit, it goes without saying that Zibai benefits a lot from Columbina's presence in the team by buffing her DMG. |
|
|
Sub DPS Jahoda's synergy with Columbina allows her to consistently absorb Hydro, thanks to Columbina's Elemental Skill. Moreover, Columbina triggers Jahoda's Ascendant Gleam, making her off-field presence more valuable. |
|
|
Sub DPS Though Columbina is considered an upgrade to Aino, they still benefit from working together in Bloom and Vaporize teams, with Columbina also enabling Aino's Ascendant Gleam. |

Lunar-Bloom is mainly a team that benefits a lot from Lauma and Columbina's pairing. Lauma's RES shred combined with Columbina's Lunar Buff makes a tremendous amount of damage.
For teams with no Lauma, Nahida is a decent substitute as she provides consistent dendro application as well.

Similar to Lauma, Ineffa gains a lot of power from pairing with Columbina while also providing defensive utilities.
For teams with no Ineffa, Fischl and Ororon are great substitutes for Lunar-Charged specific teams.

This team archetype benefit mostly with characters that utilizes Geo constructs in their kit. Characters like Navia and Itto maximizes their damage with the Moondrifts.
Zibai is going to be the premier Lunar-Crystallized DPS, so it is expected that she has great synergy with Columbina.

Columbina provides a lot of hydro application in general and can be slotted in teams where they appreciate consistent hydro aura for them to trigger reactions.
Take note, however, that this limits Columbina's full potential and is best used with characters that can hold their own.
Columbina functions as a unique unit in the sense that her presence alone can activate any of the main Lunar reactions, allowing non-Lunar characters to reap the benefits of Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, and Lunar-Crystallize.
Aside from that, her main role in these teams is that of a Lunar Reaction Buffer and Sub-DPS, with her Elemental Skill enabling more Lunar damage instances, and her Elemental Burst further improving that damage.
Columbina's Elemental Skill summons a Gravity Ripple that takes note of Lunar Damage instances that shows as a crescent halo on her back.
Upon filling up this halo, it will discharge, dealing an instance of Lunar Damage to enemies in front of the active character. This notably works Off-Field, allowing Columbina to work with most DPS characters.
The damage type done by the Gravity Ripple changes according to which Lunar Reaction filled up the halo the most, and deals damage according to that type.
It is worth noting that Lunar-Charge and Lunar-Crystallize deal one instance of Gravity Ripple damage, while Lunar-Bloom deals multiple instances.

Depending on the Lunar Reaction that the Gravity Ripple accumulated, the Gravity Ripple will change colors and automatically deal damage based on that Lunar Reaction!
Columbina's Elemental Burst summons a Lunar Domain around her, amplifying the effects of the Lunar Reactions even further while inside the domain.
| Lunar Reaction | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Lunar-Charged | ![]() Grants a chance to perform one extra lightning strike when thunderclouds activate. |
| Lunar-Bloom | ![]() When Verdant Dew is expended, characters will consude Moonridge Dew following the same mechanics. |
| Lunar-Crystallized | ![]() When a Lunar-Crystallize reaction is triggered, every Moondrift has a chance to inflict an extra attack. |
Lunar-Charge gains additional thundercloud strike chances, Lunar-Bloom generates more Verdant Dew, and Lunar-Crystallize gains another damage instance with Moondrift Harmony.
One of Columbina's passives allows her to instantly revive a fallen character upon death and restores a set amount of HP, allowing you a second shot at combat.
This likely has a cooldown to prevent it from being spammed, similar to most revival mechanics from other characters.
Below are the ascension materials needed for Columbina, not counting the Local Specialty which will be released in Version 6.3:

About Damselette She is a very special Harbinger. Pose her a question, and the answer you receive will be entirely unpredictable, if she sees fit to give a proper answer at all. Regardless, any answer you do receive is sure to be an interesting one. |
Jahoda
|
About Kuutar That VIP... sigh Back in the day, if I came across someone with a background that murky, I'd have run for the hills! The farther the better! But... she saved me, so now I owe her, and debts are debts. Still, that's easy to say, but I've only got one life to lose, and at this rate, no amount of lives would be enough to cover the tab... O Boss Nef! Save me, you're my only hope... |
Lauma
|
About Kuutar No one teaches a newborn god how to live in harmony with their followers. She must have had a very difficult past... In the hopes of achieving some sort of reconciliation, I made a request of her that must have seemed a little rude. She claims that she prefers living alone, but I still dream of a day that Kuutar and the Frostmoon Scions, the moon and her believers, can come together and share a toast. |
Tartaglia
|
About Damselette The Fatui Harbingers are ranked by strength, and I have no idea why that girl is No. 3. I'd test my skills with every Harbinger who ranks above me if I had the chance, but when it comes to her... something just doesn't feel right. Anyway, you should be careful around her. |
Wanderer
|
About Damsellette If you were to encounter a "damsel" who is oblivious and innocent at any given time, and unconcerned and unfeeling in any given situation? If it were me, I could at least challenge her to a fight. But if it were you... with your conscience, I would stay away from her. |
