🌙 COLUMBINA’S LUNAR NUKES HIT 200K+ DPS – WIPES META CARRIES?! 😱 Genshin 6.3’s FATUI QUEEN SOLOS NOD-KRAI BOSSES… Flins/Nefer/Zibai EAT DIRT – Her RING BUFFS EXPLODE EVERY TEAM! (C0R0 118K? C6 HYPERBLOOM 35K/ROT – NERF INCOMING!) 💦🔥🧊👇

PULL OR REGRET – Banners DROP in 9 DAYS!

Genshin Impact’s Version 6.3, “Luna IV,” launches January 14, 2026, expanding the Nod-Krai region with new quests, bosses like “The Doctor” and “Lord of the Hidden Depths,” and the Lantern Rite event “A Lanternlit Ode to the Silver Moon.” At its core: Columbina, the enigmatic Fatui Harbinger No. 3, debuts as a 5-star Hydro catalyst on the Phase 1 banner “Somnias a Luna” (Jan 14–Feb 3), alongside Ineffa’s rerun and 4-star Illuga rate-up. Phase 2 brings Zibai and Neuvillette.

Beta leaks and theorycrafting have ignited frenzy on Reddit’s r/Columbina_Mains and YouTube, with calcs hitting 207k DPS in Flins teams – outpacing Nod-Krai staples like Nefer (200k). Her “Lunar Reactions” – Lunar-Bloom (Dendro), Lunar-Charged (Electro), Lunar-Crystallize (Geo) – scale off HP, apply off-field Hydro, and self-trigger for universal buffs. Is she the meta-shifter Hoyoverse promised? Here’s the kit, builds, teams, and numbers.

Columbina’s Kit: Lunar Overlord Unleashed

Columbina’s HP-scaling design (A1: CRIT Rate) turns her into a Hydro enabler, buffer, and sub-DPS. She summons a “Water Ring” for 25s (CD 17s), dealing continuous DMG and enabling Lunar Reactions – Hydro + Dendro/Electro/Geo variants with unique buffs (e.g., faster strikes, extra hits).

Damage Calcs & Meta Impact

Noir’s high-investment sheets: Flins team edges Nefer (207k vs 200k); Columbina’s Lunar procs (Charged/Crystallize) often top damage. C0R0 Lauma teams hit 118k; sig boosts 20%+. YouTube showcases (Kuro): Nefer/Col/Lauma/Nahida melts; Flins teams “change everything.”

X/Reddit buzz: “BiS enabler” vs “Nod-Krai locked?” – but universal buffs shine. Pre-farm 3-4k resin for Dawn/Silken.

Columbina doesn’t just join 6.3 – she redefines it. Pull for Lunar chaos; meta awaits.
