Lunar- Crystalize reaction

So we all know that there's an upcoming new reaction based on moon and it's supposed to bring back geo to m*ta (maybe).

So the normal characters outside Nodkrai— if their element got to contact with geo they'll get crystalized and something drops, right? And in Lunar reaction they'll become like in the picture. So after the livestream I just remember that one character's kit benefit from that reaction (crystalize)... Yes, it's Navia.

So my question is, does that mean she will not be good with the said reaction or she can absord it also. Cuz the way I see it— it's not. Does hoyo forgot Navia making this new reaction?

You need bina and any geo character bro

That's not what I meant, I'm not asking how lunar crystalize can be made what I'm asking is if moondrifts can or cannot absord by navia as she need that(crystal shards) in her kit replacing the old crytal shards.

Rex_Lapis_2026-01-04 11:36

She got updated, she works with it

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:40

Oh thanks

Terrorbalrog2026-01-04 11:36

Her kit will be adjusted to include Lunar-Reaction. Same as Ororon or Nilou.

Namiko-Yuki2026-01-04 11:22

Probably not the best, even if she can consume these new ones like normal crystals. unless you run like Xilonen in the team as well?.
Since Lunar crystalize deals damage based on DEF and EM as far I know, Navia the ATK scaling Geo will probably not deal a lot of damage.

Would also mean you need an insanely premium team
Navia as the Main damage dealer.
Xilonen so you can create some DEF stats in there for the scaling maybe, since it uses a similar party wide formula as Lunar-charge.
Furina and Columbina, Since Furina can buff Navia since Navia main damage will still be her shotgun, Columbina is needed to enable the reaction but she will also boost the reaction damage and Hydro resonance would be good for both Furina and Columbina.

EDIT: it seems Navia will receive a bullet when lunar charge triggers so she doesn't need to consume it like a crystal she just auto gets her bullet.
Also seems Columbina will be dealing the main damage with Lunar crystalize, as she will take the 1st slot in the party calculation.
Xilonen and Furina are there to resshred and boost Navia's normal damage.

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:27

Then does that mean she can't absord the moondrifts? Or the moondrifts has a maximum of just 3 and if it exceeds it will just be crystal shards and not be converted to a moondrifts?

Namiko-Yuki2026-01-04 11:30

I edit the comment, she doesn't absorb them, she just gets a bullet each time lunar crystalize happens. So basically every time Geo meets Hydro with Columbina in the party Navia auto gets a bullet.

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:34

I hope that's the case

Namiko-Yuki2026-01-04 11:40

It is technically not a bad team, just hella expensive needing 4 premium characters and 3 of the best supports in the game in the team to work.
Regardless I am planning on running and trying this team it does sound fun even though the characters have better team options, fun > meta.

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:43

I don't have xilonen so this is hell of a team for me

Namiko-Yuki2026-01-04 11:47

I think you can substitute in Illuga, and swap Furina for Bennet since Furina will lose her burst buff with no healing, but that will drastically drop the teams overall damage.

Express-Bag-39352026-01-05 00:20

That's not true. Lunar crystallize doesn't scale on Def by default. Even standard lunar charged doesn't scale on ATK by default. Only the direct talent-based lunar reaction dmg scales off those respective stats because that's the scaling within those Nod Krai character kits.

Default Lunar crystallize scales off of EM and crit/crit dmg. So while not doing much without EM to be built for it, you won't lose that much by not being built for it, and instead it's supplemental damage compared to 0 dps from crystallized before. And it also counts as geo construct so C0 Chiori and Navia can be paired together at full capacity. Just slap in Columbina and a flex, possibly Aino or Ineffa, and Navia's lunar crystallize team will actually do something.

Admiral_Axe2026-01-04 11:29

Every single thing in the game that uses crystalize in some way will also get updated to be usable with lunar crystalize. This includes Navia, Navias Axe, Petra set, Navia set, geo resonance, Gorou c2 and even Mona c1

Lunar crystalize is even better than normal crystalize, since you only need to trigger it and not pick up any crystal shards. (though in case of petra this means you will only ever able to buff hydro)

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:32

I really hope they update Navia's crystal shards absorbing kit since it's a nightmare for her if she didn't get any adjustments.

Dracorvo2026-01-04 11:36

Leaks suggest she generates bullets at regular intervals while LC totems are active

beautheschmo2026-01-04 11:31

We are long past the point where transformative reactions make a team meta.

I suspect Navia won't like it either; she doesn't build the stats to scale it and depending how she interacts with it she will either turn off the explosions entirely or trigger them all at once and run into the reaction hit count limit (enemies can only take damage from the same named reaction two times every 0.5 seconds).

Either way, she is probably going to be the *least* compatible lunar crystallize character imo

Berry_Sprout2026-01-04 11:52

Leaks if your ok with that >!navias columbia team is 20% better then her previous teams and she's similar to natlan characters on terms of DPS!<

Express-Bag-39352026-01-05 00:16

Technically, Navia does. The lunar crystallize damage may not do as much when Navia doesn't build EM bit lunar crystallize does scale with crit and crit dmg, so Navia's crit stats may matter. And it also ignores def. Helps that Columbina will buff lunar dmg bonus since Navia lunar crystallize teams won't have that many sources of such.

The best thing about lunar crystallize for Navia is the QoL and convenience of building the crystal shrapnel stacks. She doesn't need to Hold E to collect the shards to launch it, so it will be automatically accumulated for Navia and she could then tap E. It may save a bit kn rotation length.
Additionally, it will strengthen her synergy with Chiori as lunar crystallize acts as geo constructs so no C1 Xhiori needed to capitalize on Chiori with Navia. So it will be Navia, Chiori, Columbina, and flex, probably a moonsign flex so you can get ascendant gleam. Could be Illuga (who will be super mid, especially without cons, for anyone but Zibai), Aino, or maybe Ineffa but I fear Ineffa may get in thr way of triggering lunar crystallize.

Korath2892026-01-04 11:31

This is bordering on leak territory, but don’t worry, triggering lunar crystalise automatically gives her a stack, no pickups or absorption required.

Several other conditionals that required collecting shards now also trigger on lunar crystalise reaction(such as petra 4p). I don’t think anyone was forgotten when adding this.

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:36

I hope this is true, thank you for responding

xd_ZelnikM2026-01-04 11:34

Chiori

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:38

I'm sorry what's the kit of chiori? I don't have her so I don't really know her kit. Do you have time to explain it? And what's her connection to lunar crystalize

Namiko-Yuki2026-01-04 11:45

Chiori scales on DEF and does tons of off field geo hits with her 🍅.
Itto + Columbina + Chiori would probably actually be a really great team setup for Lunar crystals.
Since Itto also scales on DEF and his cow will make Chiori create a second 🍅.

ChineseMurloc2026-01-04 12:09

I'm quite sure the lunar crystals count as a geo construct so a second tamato is guaranteed with lunar crystalized, I think.

Existing-Pea-82822026-01-05 18:12

Why is everyone downvoting you I’m so confused ??? I swear everyone on Reddit is miserable

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-10 14:20

I don't know too, I'm just asking hahaha

TheGreatZed2026-01-04 11:39

Pretty sure Navia was on the team they showed while presenting lunar crystalize on stream, so they probably haven't forgotten about her.

Hey can just make she gain a bullet when lunar crystalize is triggered to fix it, not the first time they would change a kit to include lunar-reactions.

NegotiationSweet58312026-01-04 11:44

I saw that too in the livestream that's really why this questions been stuck in my head and Thank god I posted it here to clear my head

Multifrank5042026-01-04 13:12

You are asking questions that the leak sub already answered

Express-Bag-39352026-01-05 00:08

A lot of additions have been made to character and gameplay mechanics that revolve around crystallize to now include lunar crystallize. Now, Archaic Petra can occur on simply triggering lunar crystallize. Won't be particularly helpful for Zibai or Columbina but horray anyways.

Lunar crystallize have also been incorporated to constellations with crystallize as trigger, geo resonance, and Navia.

Chadzuma2026-01-05 00:16

Basically any geo character you put on a team with Columbina should be able to do it
