Daily Questions Megathread (January 06, 2026)

Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.

That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

Pretty sure this is a known glitch, but i was running around Mondstadt and suddenly Columbina's [instrumental] theme started playing overlaid on top of the standard overworld theme. Would assume that closing and reopening the game would fix it, but I'm just vibing to the music rn, and imagining that this is what it was like for the traveler when Columbina was following him around while she was fading out of existence and he had no idea lmao

Raguner12026-01-06 10:13

If I have C2 Raiden, does using Ineffa/Columbina team out-DPS an overload Raiden Hyper carry comp? I have C6 Chev, Bennet, and Kujou Sara.

International_You_562026-01-06 10:22

Gotta wait until Columbina is out for that.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 10:40

considering Raiden is the only relevant damage in the overload team
buffing Raiden(that has short field time anyway from burst) wont really outmatch unbuffed Raiden + two fivestars that work together, plus a flex. Sucrose or Kazuha is probably most notable. or funny enough Jahoda if c6, cause noone has a lot of field time

Luna_MariaHawke2026-01-06 10:39

Where to go now?

AQ-wise I finished the first colliseum tournament in Natlan (the one with Kachina) and my next goal is to visit Mualani´s tribe (at least thats where the gold mark is).

I know that if you do certain questlines/don´t do certain tribe reputations, you´ll get extra cutscenes with/without certain characters later on in the AQ.

So: In which order should I do the quest/reputation to get the extra cutscenes with certain characters?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 10:44

tribes (specifically Varesa or Citlali part dont matter cause those came later) and Ochkanatlan in any order
finishing little guy questline isnt required (that also finished later)

missy202012026-01-06 14:12

I still haven't finished all the little guy quests to get that profile pic because >!I heard you have to say goodbye to them and I don't wanna 😭😭!<

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 14:19

>!you dont, just you have nothing else with him after the conclusion. there is no sendoff for leaving Natlan or something!<

missy202012026-01-06 14:32

>!Oh! Huh. Well maybe I'll finally go do that then lol. Thanks!<

Lordmaster3162026-01-06 11:01

The free Miliastra 4 star outfit = do the event

So what event? event on Miliastra or Lanter right event etc?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 11:15

kind of certain a MW event

Lordmaster3162026-01-06 11:16

Ahh i see thanks

Dreamerbloom112026-01-06 11:16

How many hours long is the archon quest for this patch?

Also for durins quest - what exactly does it mean that we have to set aside 5 calendar days?

How many hours total is durins story quest?

KyrrithK2026-01-06 11:21

Archon quest is about 2.5-3h first half, 3-4h second half depending on how thorough you like to be.

As for Durin's quest, it comes in 5 parts, and you have to wait for a daily reset between each part. Most parts are around 30min each, the last one maybe stretching a bit longer to an hour. So all up, around 3h in total, but you can't just sit down and do it all in one sitting, you have to do it on 5 separate days.

kissofthehell2026-01-06 11:41

What woudl be a theoretical good lunar crystalize team beside the 2 new units in the next update?

Stamp2O2026-01-06 11:48

navia+chiori/xilonen+bennett+columbina, you need 1 of bina or zibai to trigger lunar crystallize

SF-UberMan2026-01-06 12:02

Are Wonderland Manekins for all intents and purposes human apart from the fact that they were manufactured rather than born, or are they something else altogether given the VR-like nature of Miliastra Wonderland?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 12:23

my guess
similar case to Durin and anything from Simulanka, except Manekins were human shaped from the start
for all intents and purposes Human, noone can answer that, so best to not think about it

hmm ya supposedly controlled by Traveler, so maybe the VR thing isnt that wrong

SF-UberMan2026-01-06 12:26

Umm... what I mean is, are they capable of settling down and have children of their own so that they have descendants to carry on their legacy like with Diluc's family and the Dawn Winery?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 12:27

that wont happen
as in noone official will answer that, for it to be even a possibility

also i edited previous comment, you were kind of right about the VR thing
at the start, they do show that Traveler is the one in charge of MW, and supposedly controlling the manekin

note, Manekin has nothing in their profile, except that Manekins are gifted to you, as in Traveler

Equal_Pangolin_25812026-01-06 12:25

should i use favonius or stringless on ororon? i wanna use him on my overload team with varesa, chevreuse and xiangling ^^

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 12:32

Xiangling? rather easily use Favonius on Ororon. if possible on Chevreuse too

Equal_Pangolin_25812026-01-06 12:47

is xiangling not good? i was debating between bennett or her😅 also i don’t have the spear so im using black tassel on chevreuse but thanks for the advice i’ll use favonius for ororon then!

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 12:51

Xiangling has energy needs, thats why you want favoniuses
Bennett is really bad with a very mobile Varesa, and youd rather have a second electro
and not worth focusing on Xiangling instead of Varesa. XL is there to cause overload and shred on enemies to increase Varesa damage
you can replace Xiangling with a Pyro Traveler and should actually be better and easier

Equal_Pangolin_25812026-01-06 13:51

oh i see! i actually don’t have pyro traveller yet since i’m only up to inazuma so i’ll stick with xiangling for now but i’ll keep that in mind thanks!

Diligent-Phase73712026-01-06 14:48

Xiangling is fine, honestly. Her ER needs arent that bad in this team. Chev generates alot of pyro particles with her skill and burst, even electro resonance helps too. Just give her an ER weapon with an ER sands and that will be more than enough for her, even without anyone using fav.

Kitten1292026-01-06 13:26

I have Yaoyao but I don’t remember where did I get her. What recent event gave away Yaoyao? Thank you.

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-06 13:30

Nothing recent. Only time she's been given for free is the Liyue 4 star selector during lantern rite. The last one was almost a year ago.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-06 13:37

You could check character archive to see join date, that'd narrow down the possibilities.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 13:40

likely random 4 star from any banner

SentientFrosting2026-01-06 13:27

Does using the rename items (overwrite keys in specific) mean the items are gone from your inventory or are they like the cakes where you get an unusable version that sits in your inventory?

International_You_562026-01-06 13:30

Yes once you use them they get removed from the inventory.

one-error-computer2026-01-06 13:32

Just started WQ "exploding population" and started tutorial but I keep failing. Any advice?

MaeveOathrender2026-01-06 13:53

The fishing? It's one button, idk what advice there is. Hold the button down to move the cursor one way, release it to move the other way. Keep it in the goal zone for long enough, and you catch the fish.

Ghostly_Gengar2026-01-06 13:46

Question about foggy area in Natlan quest

>!Did sakaw(npc whom we talk to before and after), remembers fog being somewhere but forgets that for was on that island?!<

Or am I interpreting it wrong, guys please tell me!

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-06 13:56

He doesn't remember the fog at all.

Ghostly_Gengar2026-01-06 14:00

I thought of the same after hearing his first few lines and then he said this

>!Sakaw: Might you have confused this place with the fog-shrouded area that Tezcatepetonco Range overlooks, by any chance?!<

I didn't understood what he meant by this line. Maybe my english problem, but can you please tell what this line means?

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-06 14:02

He doesn't remember the fog on the foggy island, but traveler mentions fog so he thinks maybe you meant a different place that does have fog.

Ghostly_Gengar2026-01-06 14:23

Okay, Thanks

From his wording I thought he implied there IS another island covered in fog. (I was mostly perplexed by the meaning "overlooks" implied here, does it mean ignored or anything other in this context?)

Sorry if am coming as annoyingily persistent.

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-06 14:27

In this context, overlooks means have a view of, so in other words he's asking if you mean the foggy area you can see from that other place.

rirasama2026-01-06 13:59

How can I continue with the Inazuma archon quest? I have a world quest that I need to do first (Chisato's letter) but I can't go into the quest area because I am a wanted criminal, am I stuck :(

Sabali72026-01-06 14:06

There's a quest called Ritou Escape Plan, do you have it? That's how you get the permit.

rirasama2026-01-06 14:11

I managed to do it by climbing on the statue, flying on top of the buildings and then jumping down past the guards, but thank you 😭

Hot-Will30832026-01-06 14:14

Pull for Xilonen or Columbina? What does either of them do and which is better

Sabali72026-01-06 14:24

Depends on characters you have.

Xilonen offers res shred, healing, plus can hold scroll set which buffs damage. She recharges Mavuika's fighting spirit the fastest. She works with characters like Mavuika, Neuvi, Arlecchino,

Columbina buffs lunar reactions and enables non-Nod-Krai 5 stars to trigger lunar reactions. Get her if you have Nod-Krai dpses or intend to get some. As much as she buffs lunar reactions, apparently she's not a better pick for Flins or Nefer than Ineffa and Lauma are for them respectively.

Hot-Will30832026-01-06 14:26

Alright, thanks! Guess I’ll get Xilonen then

Ariasrama2026-01-06 14:15

Which are the signature weappons with more account value? (Meta)

PenguinDueWest2026-01-06 14:26

If you’re asking for generalist weapons that work with most people they’re weapons like mistsplitter, a thousand blazing suns, and aqua simulacra among others.

Real value answer is the signature for your newest main dps

Ariasrama2026-01-06 14:31

More like a weapon that implifies the dmg of all the teammates and not just the dps and could use others too. Something like a furina con for example.

PenguinDueWest2026-01-06 14:36

Xilonen’s sig or elegy come to mind but honestly even those aren’t enough of a buff to team dps especially in hypercarry teams if you care solely for meta. Just pull for a new character at that point. Unless you have enough “luxury” pulls it’s not worth

Wave-Master2026-01-06 15:41

Modern support weapons and cons generally trade team flexibility for being less valuable as DPS weapons and cons in terms of team damage increase.

While you can theoretically apply the support weapon/con to a large number of teams, meta-wise most of those teams are going to be below the top 5-10 teams that you'd actually want to use. For example, getting Skirk C1R1 does more for a Skirk team than getting Furina C2. And eventually even general supports move out of the meta; Furina already has few good teams other than Skirk.

Large-Ad6882026-01-06 15:28

in the first chapter of durin's story quest, when the dragon (durin) was hatched, one of the next voice lines were "The waiting witch did not feel lonely, for she had three visitors by her side. Together, they beheld the hatchling's first breath of life." and we can see three dodocos, do we know who they are? you can find the scene [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMkU-M1cCNw), timestamp 30:22. why does the dodoco on the top have a crown like paimon?

WootyMcWoot2026-01-06 15:40

She’s literally narrating what was happening on the screen. Traveler, Paimon, and Durin were right there to watch it.

Large-Ad6882026-01-06 16:01

oh my god im stupid, youre right

Galois23572026-01-06 15:45

What artifact sets are recommended for Escoffier and Furina, specifically in a Skirk team?

Daramangarasu2026-01-06 15:48

Golden troupe and tenacity

pzlama3332026-01-06 16:01

Noblesse is also an option if the 4th character does not use it.

grasstoucher420692026-01-06 17:43

Tenacity for furina and scroll of cinder city on escoffier.Yes I know it sounds weird,but the 12 percent damage bonus from scroll gives 2-3k higher team dps compared to golden troupe according to gcsims.The 4th flex character can use noblesse.If your 4th slot is citlali then use scroll on her and noblesse on escoffier.

How is it locked? Have you tried hopping onto the cubed dragon?

KaiLin412026-01-06 16:21

My flins is currently running a f2p team with kuki sucrose and aino, and he hits 400K ish with every plunge attack and can comfortable solo most of the content in the game. My next plan for my account was to get a premium ish mauvika team with a c0r1 mauvika and a c0 citlati. However, Ineffa AND Columbina are having a banner next patch and i was wondering if I want to invest in my flins a little or if his fine. So many poeple told me I need ineffa but he is so manageable even in abyss. So, with 180 wishes saved and with 40 ish pity, basically 220 wishes saved for now. Which option should I do:

1. Pull for Columbina OR ineffa, preferebly which ever one is more universal so I can use them in future teams. Keep in mind ineffa iv done 0 farming for but columbina can get to level 90 with level 8 talents.

2. Completely skip next patch and save everything for mauvika since she will probably get a re run before columbina and then try to get columbina on her re run.

Also citlati recently having a rerun really worries me because even if I get a c0r1 mauvika, I'd probably have to wait a long time for citlati. Let me know what you think!

Luna_Risa2026-01-06 16:30

1. Sounds like you wanted columbina. Get columbina. Ineffa is the choice for flins and electro charged teams, but columbina is also a great hydro applier and lunar dmg enabler. Ineffa will come back eventually.
2. Hmm. C0r1 does equate to a good chunk of saving, but if youre only going for a c0r0 copy kf columbina or ineffa, youll likely have a good bit saved for mav with the latern rite coming up. If you're on the 50/50, you could also roll and if you win, yippee. If you lose, it's guaranteed mavuika (assuming my you don't want anyone else...)
Citlali is her premium option but she could probably hit at least 500k with just a 4 star team. She'll do fine without her in the meantime

grasstoucher420692026-01-06 17:40

Ineffa is only slightly stronger than columbina for flins,it is so close that getting either is good.Ideally you need both but any one will also do the job.Also you're comfortably clearing abyss because the buffs support flins this version lol.If you really like columbina then just go for her.

About mavuika and citlali,yes they are amazing,I own both of them and mavuika hits 800k to 1m bursts with really good artifacts alongside citlali.Also another good thing is that mavuika and flins teams don't share any characters apart from sucrose(which can be replaced by iansan).So you will get two unique meta defining teams.If you don't have a second team for abyss then I recommend getting mavuika and citlali.leave her r1 if you don't have primos for it,you can get it later.

kqinq2026-01-06 16:24

hello to all! i stopped at fontaine archon quest and took a year break from genshin. i just recently came back for nicole reeyn and played natlan archon quest within a month of playing. the thing is, i’m an F2P, and only have xilonen as my natlan character whereas i lack the fundamental characters that are trending in meta today such as furina, flins, nefer, lauma, etc. i do have nahida tho… is she still somehow relevant?

keeping it short and straight to the point — columbina piqued my interest in terms of character design and combat. i’ve searched how lunar reactions work and unfortunately i don’t have the necessary characters for the reaction to occur. do i pull for her or wait for another unit? i very much appreciate your help 🙇‍♀️

Luna_Risa2026-01-06 16:26

Nahida: scarcely relevant, tho still pretty strong. Just not as useful for Dire in stygian for now (hardest end game).
Columbina activates all lunar reactions. You won't get the strongest dmg but youll still do the lunar dmg. Somewhat helpful for these lunar boss mechanics when you dont have anyone else. Roll if you like her, especially since Nicole is still a few banners away

kqinq2026-01-06 17:10

thank you for the input! i’ll consider this. how about ineffa? is she worth pulling as well? i’m trying to weigh the options to save my account, haha

Jkei2026-01-06 17:15

Ineffa is very strong and not particularly reliant on any specific team other than that she wants constant hydro + electro aura. I'd say she's very much the better pull for you as opposed to Columbina, but of course you should feel free to pull her anyway if you just like her character.

kqinq2026-01-06 17:22

thank you! i’ll have to search more about ineffa then 🙇‍♀️ and i heard she won’t be rerunning any soon after this so i’ll also consider it

absolutelydon2026-01-06 16:41

F2P (plus blessing) player who started 2 months ago and speed ran the Archon Quests. Current team is Dendro Traveller, Arlecchino, Kaeya and Amber (All at 90 although also have Razor at 80).

Planning to roll for Columbina, what team can or should I be building?

Currently also have: Yun Jin (70), Yumemizuki Mizuki (50), Lisa (50), Barbara (50), Durin (40)

Then at 0 I have: Noelle, Lan Yan, Fischl, Thoma, Kachina, Jahoda, Lynette, Faruzan, Sucrose, Charlotte, Rosaria, Kuki Shinobu, Collei, Aino, Bennett and Xiangling.

Luna_Risa2026-01-06 16:59

Build Durin, fischl, kuki, bennett, xiangling, Sucrose for future teams. All great characters to have ready.

Jkei2026-01-06 17:01

If you don't love Columbina as a character, I wouldn't get her. At lot of her power budget is tied up in lunar buffing, and you don't have the Nod Krai characters to leverage that. Ineffa is a far better pull by herself.

grasstoucher420692026-01-06 17:33

If you really want columbina then I suggest you get ineffa or lauma or zibai along with her if you care about meta since she isn't nearly as strong outside lunar teams.

Columbina+zibai gives you the whole team in those 2 banners along with illuga.

Columbina+ineffa is a strong duo that can carry almost any team,they can be very useful with your durin or arlecchino.Gettint flins in the future will be a big upgrade to the team.

Columbina+lauma can give you a very good hyperbloom team or even a columbina main dps lunar bloom team.Getting nefer in the future can be a great upgrade to the team.

If you cannot afford to pull for 2 characters then just wait for varka leaks and check his synergy with durin.But if you REALLY want columbina then the above 3 paths are ones you can choose.

Besides that,build your bennett(best support in the game by far),xiangling,sucrose,kuki,fischl and durin.They're all top tier characters.Try getting xingqiu from the 4 star selector next patch.

absolutelydon2026-01-06 19:01

Thanks! I have pity at like 80 I think from rolling failing at Venti so I’m hoping to get Columbina and then roll for Ineffa! If luck is on my side will go for Zibai.

grasstoucher420692026-01-06 19:02

If you get both columbina and ineffa,just wait and get flins😁.

Able-Analysis-85572026-01-06 17:20

i use mavuika, chev, xiangling and fischl, what characters would help me more?

grasstoucher420692026-01-06 17:25

If it's an overload team that you want then iansan and bennett instead of xiangling and fischl.

If it's a melt team you want then mavuika,citlali,bennett,flex

Flex can be xilonen,sucrose or iansan.Kazuha works too but falls behind sucrose.Citlali can be replaced by rosaria but damage output reduces massively and QoL is bad.

Able-Analysis-85572026-01-06 17:28

i have iansan so ill have 2pyro 2electro

grasstoucher420692026-01-06 17:45

Mavuika,chevreuse,iansan,bennett is her best overload team.

GreatAres2712026-01-06 17:44

Does Durin's SQ have any BIG spoilers from the latest AQ?

I haven't finished the AQ yet, but I wanna start Durin's in time to get the rewards

_MuadDib_2026-01-06 17:56

It's not related to AQ. It's retelling/follow up of simulanka quest/event.

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 20:49

Biggest (only?) "spoiler" is seeing >!someone's in-game model!<, before >!their official presentation, that takes place during the AQ!<.

Should be fine; and you can still enjoy the one in AQ afterwards. Thou is not that big of a surprise.

Acadeca2026-01-06 18:13

If you want more than Columbina, then Ineffa is also pretty decent. If you don’t see yourself pulling Ineffa, then save

Acconto_ButtaAway2026-01-06 18:01

Is there any way to know whose anecdotes I still miss?

akindertale2026-01-06 19:58

the wiki has a list of them! [https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Travelers%27_Tales](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Travelers%27_Tales)

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 20:48

They really need to add a counter to the Anecdotes... So silly to have to manually count them, one character a time, and compare to third party sources... XD

Mhs2fann2026-01-06 18:14

Sacrificial Fragments r2 or TTDS r5 on sucrose flins Team

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-06 18:22

TTDS

le17242026-01-06 18:29

What weapon, artifact and substats do I want for this team? Citlali, Xilonen, Arlecchino, Layla
Citlali - TTDS - Scroll of Cinder city - ER/EM?
Xilonen - Flute of Ezpitzal - Archaic Petra - ER?
Arlecchino - PJWS - C.DMG/C.RATE/EM?
Layla - Favonius - ??? - ER?

Acadeca2026-01-06 18:45

Some issues. I don’t think you will be able to get Scroll to proc on Citlali. She has ttds so you would want her to be last, but if you did Arle>Xilo>Layla then you have no pyro to react with and get scroll. Xilo doesn’t need more def unless you are healing, but Arle doesn’t heal. You have two different shields, but they don’t “stack” and will both take damage simultaneously.

I might suggest Xilo scroll fav, Layla Tenacity, Citlali Noblesse with a lot of recharge. Or swap in Bennett and run your current Xilo/Citlali plan

le17242026-01-06 19:56

ok sweet. sounds good. i'll look into it! thank you

SleepySpook2026-01-06 18:43

Recently come back to the game, not entirely sure how the "Temper thyself and journey far" event works but am I right in assuming it's too late for me to start now?

Need 8 weekly tasks done so 56 days needed, but there is 47 days left. Am I correct here?

International_You_562026-01-06 18:45

Yes you're late for the constellation, but you can still get the other rewards.

SleepySpook2026-01-06 19:01

Alright ty ty

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 20:48

Mind you, this is now a permanent thing. As it ends, a new one will start. After the current one, we will get 2 more with the same characters; afterwards (with 7.0+) the roster will change... but we don't know yet. Not sure if they will just add more characters, or if some will rotate out.

bartowski19762026-01-06 20:17

Correct, but this event resets every 12 weeks so you'll have another chance when it resets.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-06 21:21

The way it works is that the event reruns in 12-week cycles.

To clear a week, you need to claim dailies+spend 120 resin for at least 5 days that week.

During each cycle, you need to complete 8 out of 12 weeks to reach the final reward (the constellation).

There's only 7 weeks left in this cycle, so not enough time to get 8 weeks done. After this cycle ends, there'll be a new.

bubuplush2026-01-06 19:08

Hey, I took a bit of a break and caught up to the Archon quest yesterday. I noticed that I can't access the cute Columbina hangout thing and was looking forward to it.. is that intentional? I mean I know what happened in the story, but there's probably a "somewhere between 6.0 and 6.1.." feature or something? I only got the chance to see 2 of them, didn't they literally advertise this version with more Columbina hangout lol

Daramangarasu2026-01-06 19:34

It is intentional

Quasar10072026-01-06 19:57

It's intentional due to the events of the Archon Quest. You'll likely be able to do them again after the next patch

akindertale2026-01-06 19:57

It’s unfortunately intentional and ties back directly to the archon quest

Limp_Magician16762026-01-06 19:10

After having seen Sandrone and Alice in banner leaks today, I fell in love with them and were looking for possible team combos. Would they work well together or with bennett, furina, or lauma (sorry very specific)

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-06 19:16

?

What are you talking about? I haven't seen anything like that. Can you dm the info you got?

Limp_Magician16762026-01-06 19:42

no sorry i just saw a video detailing these leaks on youtube

Limp_Magician16762026-01-06 19:43

like about their rerun but nothing specific sorry

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-06 19:50

Okay so here's the thing: >!current leaks suggest that Sandrone will release in 6.7. Beyond that, we have nothing but rumors, and the current accepted rumors state that not only will she get a design and personality change, she'll be an electro DPS for the superconduct reaction. It's also suggested that a character in 6.5 will be her dedicated support. However, nothing about her kit is known for certain.!<

And on Alice, >!she will not be playable in 6.X. She does not have a playable character ID like Sandrone, she has an NPC one like Capitano.!<

Youtube really isn't the place you should be getting any info from.

Stamp2O2026-01-06 19:32

ask again when we actually know their kits

Daramangarasu2026-01-06 19:33

No one knows what they do or when they're releasing, whoever told you otherwise is lying

zai95992026-01-06 19:12

i’m doing some exploring around the Ancestral Temple in natlan. My green saurain has a green flower floating around it (can’t add a photo sorry), any clue on what it is?

zai95992026-01-06 19:56

thats the one thank you so much

nyoomsday_042026-01-06 19:15

is it worth it to pull for xilonen to replace kazuha in my mavuika team (currently mavu-citlali-bennett-kazu) and/or to replace zhongli in my arle team (currently arle-bennett-kazu-zhongli)? been wondering if i should pull for her last minute or just save my guaranteed for columbina (who i really love, but lauma is my only other nk unit and im neither interested in lunar reactions nor pulling for other nk units besides nefer)

International_You_562026-01-06 19:28

Nope. But you can replace Kazuha with Iansan, and use Xilonen with Arlecchino.

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-06 19:31

Prob just save for Columbina. Kazuha is fine in both teams.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-06 21:22

well with Mavuika team id just replace Kazuha for Sucrose
but not quite relevant for the actual question

No-Piano-9872026-01-06 19:31

Should we expect Creator Experience Server videos for Zibai to be coming this week or the week before her banner drops?

akindertale2026-01-06 19:55

Week before her banner drops (Same happened with Flins)

Green_Protection_3632026-01-06 19:40

When can we expect a Columbina re run after 6.3? My pulls are really low as I just returned to the game and I'm not sure I'll be able to get her

silv3rd4v32026-01-06 19:45

Usually it takes around half a year, 1 month up 1 month down.

Quasar10072026-01-06 19:53

Assuming Bina is treated the same as Archons are in their patch debuts, she should get a rerun 3-5 patches later:

I.E.

Venti: 1.0 -> 1.4

Zhongli: 1.1 -> 1.5

Raiden: 2.1 -> 2.5

Nahida: 3.2 -> 3.6

Furina: 4.2 -> 4.7

Mavuika: 5.3 -> 5.7

Assuming the pattern continues:

Columbina: 6.3 -> 6.7-6.8

Green_Protection_3632026-01-06 19:53

Thank you!

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 20:44

I heard 6.7 is all the rage right now. Betting on that one? :-P

Daramangarasu2026-01-06 20:05

akindertale2026-01-06 19:56

Any news on a new artifact strongbox in the next version?

Daramangarasu2026-01-06 20:05

Quasar10072026-01-06 19:56

How much ER does Lauma need in a double Dendro team with Nahida?

I've been farming for her and felt I had a good enough stopping point at 750EM (1000 with Dendro Resonance and the event weapon's passive). She had 235% In this build

Now in another build, she has like 35/90-100 (Not sure if crit is needed with Lunar Bloom) but, now 1035 with passives and resonance but 220% Energy

Does she need less with Nahida and look into Crit or it's fine?

She's on 4PC Silken Moon Serenade

Acadeca2026-01-06 20:10

Somewhere between 140 and 200 depending on how much time she spends on field as her particles are generated over time, and how frequent you burst.

GreatAres2712026-01-06 20:03

What's Columbina's role in battle? Is she a DPS? Support? Sub-DPS?

And should I roll for her if I don't have any Nod Krai 5 stars but want some of the future ones?

Daramangarasu2026-01-06 20:04

Support, we don't know what the future ones do, not recommended if you don't have other NK 5-stars

TehEpicGuy1012026-01-06 20:14

Sub-dps/support. Hard to say for sure how she'll work with future characters, but as of right now, she doesn't have much value without at least one of the other Nod-Krai 5 stars.

_MuadDib_2026-01-06 20:24

Depends what future ones you want. Afaik Columbina wants the Nod Krai that do Lunar damage. I expect Varka and Nicole will be similar to Durin, so they would do no Lunar damage and instead they would have some hexerei buffs. So it would either be other less known/unknown 5\* or it could be Sandrone(if she's playable)

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 20:42

Ideally, she would round-up your Nod Krai Lunar Reaction teams.

Flins wants Ineffa, then Columbina. Nefer wants Lauma, then Columbina. The upcoming Zibai wants Illuga (with Cons if possible), then Columbina. As a stand alone, she can be used as a decent DPS, but not "top-of-the-meta" (which will probably be those 3 teams I just mentioned); but she might be as strong as Varesa currently is (unsure; we should wait until a week after she releases for better calcs and examples).

Not sure how useful she is as a "random filler support", but her enabling Lunar Reactions for other characters could be useful for some teams. I heard she may be particularly good for Navia (or any other Geo DPS) by enabling Lunar Hydro Crystalize (since they lack a damaging reaction without Columbina).

If your plans for "future ones" is more towards Varka, Nicole and Alice; I expect them to be "Hexenzirkel Team" and ignore Lunar Reactions. Wouldn't surprise me if either Varka or (eventually, since not sure she is comming in 6.X) Alice, has a passive that gives them more buffs the more Hexenzirkel members are in the party; "forcing" you to get a full Hexenzirkel team, just like Skirk and Escoffier "force" you into full Hydro/Cryo.

CashTouh2026-01-06 20:57

I'm about to reinstall the game. It says it's around 120gb. Does that mean I need to double that to install the game? Since it'll need the space to extract the downloaded files.

Sheeplette2026-01-06 21:09

They improved how the downloading/extracting works a while ago so it no longer needs double the space to extract the download files. You should just need whatever the launcher says you need.

OrphanCrow2026-01-06 21:04

how strong is ineffas shield compared to other shielders? citlali level or zhongli level?

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 21:08

Assuming you crown her shield, at Lv10 it does 400% of her ATK, +3000. Assuming 3K ATK (which I believe is reasonable, but no idea what most Ineffa's are running around with), she gives you a 15.000 HP shield. Unsure what Citlali or Zhongli give... I assume definitively lower than Zhongli; but quite decent in general.

Acadeca2026-01-06 21:21

Based on my account and the optimizer (talents level 8)

My Ineffa when in a team has a shield of about ~~263234~~ 10529 against physical attacks. Citlali with her sig has around ~~28896~~ 11558 against physical attacks. Zhongli on fav archaic 19383, black tenacity is 31862. ~~I don't think this notes that some attacks will be more or less effective against types of shields~~ It was already counting the effectiveness against elements of it's own kind so now has been changed to non reacted elements. Of additional note is that Zhongli's shield has no elemental weakness unlike the others that can be reacted against

_MuadDib_2026-01-06 21:41

Unless your Ineffa has 6703 ATK the shield strength you mentioned is only against electro attacks. If my calcs are right your Ineffa have \~2240 ATK. Same is most likely true about Citlali shield strenght but this time agains cryo attacks, against other attacks it will be only \~11558.

Acadeca2026-01-06 22:01

As a joke I wanted to see if I could even hit that amount and the highest I could get was 5900. So yeah that was incorrect (and now fixed). Thanks

_MuadDib_2026-01-06 21:30

at LV10 the shield strength is like this:

* Zhongli - (2711+0.2304\*HP)\*1.5 - for 40000HP it would be 17890.5
* Citlali - 3051+10.368\*EM - for 700EM it would be 10308.6 (against cryo multiply by 2.5 - 25771.5
* Ineffa - 3051+3.9813\*ATK - for 2500ATK it would be 13004.25 (against electro multiply by 2.5 - 32510.625)

I'm not sure if I overestimated or underestimated some stats, so adjust it as you see fit when comparing.

note: simplified formula for Zhongli would be 4066.5+0.3456\*HP

350Daybreak2026-01-06 21:08

What is the account building approach for non-spenders to beat fearless stygian?

Say for someone who was semi-casual, just doing enough to 36star abyss but not really bothered with meta or strength beyond that. Is it possible to elevate your account strength that much without spending? How would you do it?

Kaemonarch2026-01-06 21:13

I think, several Stygians, it will greatly depend on what characters you happened to pull for; as some bosses can be very biased sometimes, as to who is "allowed" to defeat them at higher difficulties.

You can beat Fearless as a "casual" F2P (and by casual, we mean you are at least half of the time pulling for meta, and you DO spend your resin on a daily basis to level up and gear your characters).

I did did the first Styigan on Fearless, also the last one. But the one that "required" Lauma vs the Crab, I didn't have any team strong enough to do it in Fearless, not by a long shot.

350Daybreak2026-01-06 21:33

The time I came closest was actually 6.0 because I beat the crab and the drake, but couldn't do the shocktrooper.

It kind of seems like a crapshoot to have the correct characters. Which is why I'm looking for thoughts or strategies of what people have done.

nutellalife2026-01-06 21:42

joined the game this year and have seen quite a few creators promoting lootbar, is it legit? they have better pricing than the ingame store so im tempted but....

Nadi-newb2026-01-06 21:52

"this year"? maybe play a bit before spending. and, don't spend money on this \[...\] game.

lootbar et al are against the tos. that doesn't stop most though.

Full-Minimum-9262026-01-07 00:05

I personally think it's contradictory playing a RPG without a story, because then it's just a sandbox and nothing connecting its elements.

But I'm not you and I don't care what you do with your life, so do whatever you want.

Yuki_200652026-01-06 23:24

i used to get dream solvents after almost every single weekly, and then suddenly a few months ago, i just completely stopped getting them. does this happen a lot and for any specific reason, or is it just completely random?

Acadeca2026-01-07 00:10

Random

bartowski19762026-01-07 01:00

It's random. The odds are generally around 1 in 3.

Brajind2026-01-07 00:18

Does the damage buff from Calamity of Eshu only apply to the character wearing the sword, or does it apply to all party members? If so, is it a better weapon for Layla than the Favonius sword?

underpantscannon2026-01-07 00:24

Holder only, despite the confusing use of "characters" in plural in the description.

Brajind2026-01-07 00:25

Oh, shucks. Well, thank you!!

pzlama3332026-01-07 00:31

The general rule is that unless the description of the weapon's passive says it buffs something for "all nearby party members", such effects are for the wielder only.

tempoltone2026-01-07 00:38

Are there good geo applier for Columbina? I feel like electro w/ Ifa+Ororon+XQ/Anemo has better output for her.

bartowski19762026-01-07 00:59

I don't know about damage output, but there is a new lunar crystallize that create these pillar things that do damage.

BeginningMulberry5472026-01-07 01:30

Navia did get an upgrade with lunar crystalizeand Otto too, and Zibai is coming out soon.

Ricksaw262026-01-07 02:09

Between yae, and ganyu, who is objectively the better C1?

KyrrithK2026-01-07 02:36

Maybe Ganyu? Yae's C1 doesn't tend to be good in teams where you want to use Yae, so it's only a bit of QoL for teams where you just choose to slot in Yae, like for Theatre.

Ricksaw262026-01-07 02:50

MaeveOathrender2026-01-07 06:55

They can't be 'reputable' if they're offering a service forbidden by TOS. By definition that makes both of you bannable.

MaeveOathrender2026-01-07 04:18

Genshin will still be here when you finish school.

nobody_chan2026-01-07 06:44

I know, but I'm not playing on my own. Me and my friends want to return for the upcoming Snezhnaya region and events.

im_here_yet_not2026-01-07 03:03

Just came back after 2 years. Managed to finish the pyro archon quest and the interlude after that. What happened to some of the cast's voices like kinich, albedo, jean, barbara, etc. why are they missing?

pzlama3332026-01-07 03:06

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%932025\_SAG-AFTRA\_video\_game\_strike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%932025_SAG-AFTRA_video_game_strike)

TehEpicGuy1012026-01-07 03:14

To make a long story short, from Version 5.1 through 5.7, there was a strike involving some VAs. As a result, some characters were left unvoiced, and even ultimately replaced. Some of the voices have since been added back in, but not all of them yet.

lawlianne2026-01-07 08:10

A large number of English VAs didn't want to/get to work on the Genshin project for a variety of reasons relating to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Some didn't care and still went to work, some claimed to be clueless about it all, and there were also some who werent even part of the strike but didnt work lol.

No surprise when it was later announced in the patch notes that quite a number of them were replaced.

IMO it set the stage for quite a number of talented UK/British VAs to be featured in Genshin, and the world got to enjoy these talents that would have never really had the opportunity to work in this project.

Vast_Effect_12012026-01-07 03:13

I'm starting to hate characters that are built on EM. It's been quite a few weeks of wasting resin for literally NO EM stat. I can get any other stat but that one. Is that normal or maybe I'm doing sth wrong?

pzlama3332026-01-07 03:16

Yes, it is normal because EM pieces all have low drop rates. EM sand has 10% drop rate, EM circlet had 4%, and EM goblet has only 2.5% drop rate.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 03:17

Nope, EM is the rarest stat to get, [source](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Artifact/Distribution)

Mande1baum2026-01-07 03:30

Assuming you are referencing Nefer, just use 2 Elixirs and craft a Sands, use an off piece Goblet, and use CD/EM/CR circlet (all are usable).

Vast_Effect_12012026-01-07 03:34

Well that sucks. Thank you guys for explaining.

I have many other characters that don't need EM (I think). I'll focus on them instead. I'll keep this in mind for future summons too.

Thanks again

Mande1baum2026-01-07 07:22

Few characters prioritize EM.

* You have Bloom characters like Kuki/Raiden who ONLY need EM mainstats and don't care about substats so they are actually some of the easiest characters to build in-game. While the EM mainstat is rarer, it's still more common than a %ATK with 2-3 good starting substats that rolled well.
* Lauma/Kazuha/Sucrose are only slightly harder wanting some ER as well, but that means you can use ER sands too. Burgeon Thoma/XL or Hyperbloom Dori may be in this category but are less popular than ones above.
* Nefer is really the *only* hard EM character to build for (and hardest in game), but becomes trivially easy to get VERY strong pieces with crafting like I mentioned (hardest to farm for, easiest to craft for).
* Nahida is fine with %ATK, %Dendro, CR/CD for mainstats making her very flexible. So even though she would often *prefer* EM, it's hardly a step down.
* Only others who care about EM have it pretty low on priority and rarely as best mainstat. Hu Tao, Mualani, or other characters who *always* trigger Melt/Vape. So these really shouldn't be causing an issue either.

You never specified which character you were building for, but if it's anyone but Nefer, just lower those standards or use other mainstats. Kuki can literally be at 99% power with an EM Sands with flat ATK, flat DEF, %DEF, and flat HP substats. And off pieces mean you only need to find 2/3 worst case, or use an ER Sands.

edthonyberbsss2026-01-07 03:38

Guys, my current teams are Neuvilette, Furina, Lauma, Xilonen and Arle, Xq, Benny, Zhongli. Based on the current meta, I’m a little bit behind. I’m planning on pulling for Columbina, but idk if I should pull for Columbina and Ineffa and wait for Flins in the future, or Columbina and wait for Nefer since I have Lauma, or my main plan as of now is Columbina then Zibai?

broicantrn2026-01-07 03:41

Im going to attempt to pull both colombina and ineffa nextt patch with about 120 wishes. Do i prioritise one over the other? i have flins, so they are both needed, i dont have a 5 star healer (apart from jean) so maybe ineffa has more value? ALSO i have to choose a BP weapon, is there a weapon i should select maybe colombina BIS or Ineffa BIS?

Vanderseid2026-01-07 03:53

Ineffa is Flins' best partner. Prioritise her over Columbina.

broicantrn2026-01-07 04:02

Wouldnt Columbina have equal value to replace Aino? or does ineffa win because you would rather have 3 nod krai than 2?

Vanderseid2026-01-07 04:08

Ineffa just has greater value overall. A second electro to help with Flins' ER needs, a shield to solve his sustain issues, some EM buff from her burst and good personal damage. Your second point doesn't matter either because his best team will always have 3 Nod Krai characters either way - Flins, Ineffa and Columbina/Aino.

Columbina herself is a good improvement over Aino, but it is not a bigger upgrade than having Ineffa in the team. Another important point is that this is Ineffa's rerun. Who knows when she will get another after this while Columbina is guaranteed to get a rerun much sooner.

Acadeca2026-01-07 04:05

Ineffa is slightly better for Flins than Columbina is. Ineffa can make use of both polearms

SadEnd9302026-01-07 03:44

# columbina or ineffa for c0 flins?[](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/?f=flair_name%3A%22Discussion%22)

so i'm a returning casual player, who recently lost the 50/50 on durin and have the next 5\* guaranteed. i'm around soft pity on the limited banner, with only 10ish wishes for the next patch - and was wondering which banner to pull on for c0 flins. i was leaning towards ineffa bc of the existing meta, but columbina looks really good for lunar too

in terms of nod krai characters, i only have flins and aino. i do pretty decent damage right now, but my flins does suffer from low energy recharge... rip. thank you in advance!

Vanderseid2026-01-07 03:51

Ineffa is better than Columbina for Flins. You also don't actually want to use Columbina without any other 5* Nod Krai character in the team.

SadEnd9302026-01-07 08:06

Thank you so much!!

Caedesturm2026-01-07 03:51

question for long time mostly f2pers out there (I buy welkins), I started playing this past summer, and I just finished clearing Fontaine exploration for my Xilo's wep, am I cooked after I finish all my world exploration? bc I have every zone except Natlan 98%d (they all say 100% but ik the map isnt entirely accurate). I can do Natlan exploration next time I need some primos, but after that am I doomed to pull like a single c0r0 per region? 😭. I dont pull every banner and I don't even typically go for sigs but Xilo's seemed too good to pass up.

Vanderseid2026-01-07 03:56

A single C0R0 character per region is if you did not play the game at all lol. On average you get around 60 to 65 pulls on each smaller latch, 80 or more of there is a map expansion providee you do events, dailies and endgames. I can pull for a character about every patch and a bit or so.

With Welkin you get more per patch so can afford to get a character every patch roughly.

Caedesturm2026-01-07 03:57

alright, that gives me hope. thanks! I still won't pull every banner but nice to know I'm not cooked as a f2p after exploration primos dry out <3

Acadeca2026-01-07 04:04

You can pass up Xilo's. Natlan and NK have somewhat better primos per chest than other regions.

Generally, you can get a five star character every other patch. Over the four years I have been playing (welkin bp) I have got 78 characters/weapons on the non standard banners with 54 of them being my intended target. So I got around one five star that I was interested in a month. Based on just 2025 I got 10 five stars that I wanted (.86 a month). So it will slow down a bit, but as long as you continue exploring and playing then you will still get characters you want.

aulixindragonz342026-01-07 04:17

When flins get rerun which one should i get?
He is at c1 currently.

His c2 or his r1, i have ineffa

Daramangarasu2026-01-07 04:33

Depends on what weapon you have on him

aulixindragonz342026-01-07 04:42

Scarlet sands

Daramangarasu2026-01-07 04:48

Then I'd probably go for C2

Leprodus032026-01-07 04:47

Wait a second, is Aino both the first hydro child/midget, and the first hydro claymore?

Edit: I'm dum and forgot about sigewinne

Daramangarasu2026-01-07 04:48

Yes

KyrrithK2026-01-07 04:48

Sigewinne erasure smh

But yes, first Hydro Claymore

Leprodus032026-01-07 04:50

Oh shoot, forgot about her

Cold_moose12026-01-07 04:56

I’m gonna level up another electro which is the best out of the ones i have: Beidou I have 3 constellations on her, iansan 1 constellation, dori 3 constellations, or ororon.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 05:30

Depends on the need. For Theatre, probably Ororon since he applies Electro off-field. Otherwise, Iansan is probably the 'best' if you have a unit that works with her.

S_2_I_0H452026-01-07 05:02

I have a guarantee for the next character in 6.3 and it's definitely a choice between Ineffa and Columbina (I'll still try to get both). Does Ineffa alone help Flins better than Columbina alone would?

Wave-Master2026-01-07 05:06

Yes

S_2_I_0H452026-01-07 05:06

Okay thanks good Sire

MisakiKH2026-01-07 05:04

I recently updated my Samsung A15 to Android 16, and since then my game has been crashing a lot. I can't play for more than ten minutes before it crashes. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, cleaning storage, restarting the phone, using the fix tool in the game's main menu, but nothing. This didn't happen before I updated the software. My phone has 128 GB in storage and 4GB RAM, allowing it to run with the lowest graphics. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it part of the game's issue? Do I wait until the game is updated?

koo_kie_6662026-01-07 06:17

there might be some compatibility conflict (less about the game or the phone, but more about how they interact). or the Android 16 update is using more RAM, meaning that there's less RAM allocation to genshin. Since 4gb is kinda borderline, this update may have been the thing that puts ur phone under minimum requirements.

you could wait for a genshin update or another android update. you could also try roll back to the older phone update if possible. ur probably on the lowest settings, but if you haven't done things like turn off shadows and all that stuff, then u should do that too.

usually if i didn't have enough RAM for a game on a laptop/pc, I would increase VRAM. But I'm not sure if that would be a good idea in ur case.

omenoctopus2026-01-07 05:28

Columbina banner next?

KyrrithK2026-01-07 05:29

Yes, Columbina and Ineffa. 4 stars unknown until this weekend or so.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-07 09:26

After that we will have Neuv & Zibai in phase II, and then the big mystery void of unknowability.

tempoltone2026-01-07 06:33

Is HP main stat for Columbina? Lunar reaction focuses on EM/Crit so I should look for EM buffs?

KyrrithK2026-01-07 06:43

Crit > HP > EM. ER as required.

To explain a little better, EM does apply to Lunar damage, but it's combined with all the Lunar Reaction DMG% buffs. So between all those buffs and Serenade's 120 EM on most Lunar teams, you'll start off fairly saturated on that multiplier, so stacking a little more EM isn't going to have much difference. But it's still an 'acceptable' stat.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-07 09:12

she buffs reactions based on her HP

Intelligent-Pop-4042026-01-07 06:47

when does early access videos come out?

Apprehensive-Egg78662026-01-07 07:20

I am free to play, and as I was working on some characters talents, it occurred to me, I don't know a good place to stop. On limited five stars that I pull, I triple crown them, but in four stars, I get them to triple six talents, because that is right before trounce domain materials, and there is a finite number of those. Should I stick to triple six or aim for seven or eight?

PS: Yes I upgrade normal attacks on supports too for the fun of it.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 07:29

8 is usually a good stopping point to have in general. 9 is of course a bit better, but very expensive mora and resin-wise. And 10 is even more expensive, plus Crowns are a limited resource, so you *should* be saving those only for characters that you like AND get good value out of their talents. But if you're smart with your pulls and not getting many 5* s or going for 5* s you don't like, then I guess that IS what you're doing.

But also, 6 is enough for someone that you use infrequently or just for Imaginarium Theatre. Levels tend to be linear increases, so you pay more to get the same increase.

lawlianne2026-01-07 08:05

You basically never need to use Crowns unless it's a character you absolutely love using, or is contributing to a disproportionately high amount of the entire team's damage output.

9 9 9 is more than enough for even the most meta of characters (somehow scaling in basic, skill and ultimate, which is rarely the case) across all reasonable content. Some supports can even leave some talents unlevelled at Lvl 1 simply because they never need to use them, i.e. basic attack.

Appropriate_Party5142026-01-07 07:27

Zibai/columbina/c6 illuga/zhongli vs Zibai/columbina/c2furina/xilonen

KyrrithK2026-01-07 07:30

Illuga C6

No-Piano-9872026-01-07 08:19

Technically the calcs say C6 Illuga is better but it is such a small difference between the Furina Xilonen team that's it's not even really worth pulling for C6 Illuga. And those calcs were with C0 Furina, so C2 Furina is likely to be better.

KaiLin412026-01-07 07:30

My C1 flins is currently running a f2p team with kuki sucrose and aino, and he hits 400K ish with every plunge attack and can comfortable solo most of the content in the game. My next plan for my account was to get a premium ish mauvika team with a c0r1 mauvika and a c0 citlati. However, Ineffa AND Columbina are having a banner next patch and i was wondering if I want to invest in my flins a little or if his fine. So many poeple told me I need ineffa but he is so manageable even in abyss. So, with 180 wishes saved and with 40 ish pity, basically 220 wishes saved for now. Which option should I do:

1. Pull for Columbina OR ineffa, preferebly which ever one is more universal and can help my flins benefit a bit, so I can use them in future teams.

2. Completely skip next patch and save everything for mauvika since she will probably get a re run before columbina and then try to get columbina on her re run.

Some poeple also suggested that I dump everything into getting both columbina and ineffa for a flins premium which will do more damage and than a mauvika team but then id have no 2nd team and no primos left lol.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 07:40

I think it'd be wise to go for Ineffa, since it's already a sizeable increase to his teams, and even if you're doing fine now, being faster in Abyss is a measurable benefit to have more time on the second half. Columbina is lower priority, and more likely to rerun sooner, but if you would rather get her to try out other Lunar stuff then that's not a bad decision either.

Or, the smartest play would be to wait and see if we get banner leaks for next patch. If Mavuika and/or Citlali isn't rerunning, then you have longer to save up for them, and can afford to fish for Ineffa/Bina now, even if only to a 50:50. And maybe in the first week once people get their hands on Bina, maybe they discover something that makes her a better pull than expected.

KaiLin412026-01-07 07:43

Yea I think I'll definetly pull for 1 because my flins just deserves some atenttion. I wait to see if columbina + flins beats flins + ineffa and then decide. If it's ineffa then I'll just pull, if it's columbina than I can definetly wait for her re run.

vosbein2026-01-07 08:05

hello i am a new genshin player at adventure lvl 28 and im scared to fight with the ruin guards, do you have any tips to give me im about to kms thank you

AltruisticBar23222026-01-07 08:10

Use an archer and shoot at its face, it will paralyze the Ruin Guard. I'm not sure what characters you have, but for early game, overloaded reaction is pretty powerful. You could try something like Amber and Lisa. Shoot its eye with Amber, run in and attack a bit with both while it's paralyzed, then run back to a safe distance. Just be careful to dodge its missiles and especially its spin attack. If you have a shielder, like Lan Yan, I would recommend using them as well.

Diligent-Phase73712026-01-07 08:11

Shooting their eye twice with a bow character can temporarily stun them

No-Piano-9872026-01-07 08:14

On top of what others have said, they can very easily be frozen.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 08:30

To add to the others, all Ruin mech enemies have very high Physical resistance, so using elemental attacks will do better. Another reason why Lisa is a great early character to have, because all her attacks are elemental instead of physical.

Or you could try a combo of Freeze + Electro to trigger Superconduct, which lowers physical defense for 12 seconds and allows you to beat them up a bit easier with normal melee fighters. Just note that Superconduct and Physical doesn't scale well into endgame.

lawlianne2026-01-07 08:40

You usually can weaken/disable such enemies by shooting their weakspots.
That or CC them, dodge missiles/stomps, or simply run away from melee range when they are spinning.

Just bow them from afar lol.

localtictacinhaler2026-01-07 08:45

Is Columbina or Ineffa a better pull for abyss? I don't have anyone to trigger lunar reactions yet so I am wondering if Columbina alone or Ineffa alone would be better. I am worried Columbina has less value for me as I have no nod krai dps but also, an archon is an archon, y'know? I have dendro teams so I could also just pull Columbina and wait for Lauma if that's better [In case it depends on my characters, here they are.](https://imgur.com/a/AFVrsrh)

Sorry if this is silly 😞

KyrrithK2026-01-07 08:54

Ineffa is definitely 'better' on her own, able to clear most Nod Krai shill checks on her own or with Aino, and works well\* with several units you have. Chasca, Neuvi, Varesa\*, Arle, Wanderer, even Hyperbloom.

However, if you really like Navia, it seems like a Navia, Xilonen, Furina, Columbina should be quite good. And Columbina will be more fun to play around with multiple reactions, even if they aren't 'good' teams. You *should* already be capable of brute-forcing with your Mavuika and maybe Neuvi C1 too, so if you just like Columbina more just go for it and feel no guilt. Games are supposed to be fun, not 'efficient'

Lauma is also a solid option as you say, with or without Columbina.

saviourQQ2026-01-07 08:50

I'm doing significantly less damage on my Varesa against the plunge boss compared to the tutorial videos I am watching on YouTube, which use the same teams and similar artifacts. These YouTubers are clearing Fearless with 30+ seconds to spare, and I finish the full two minutes with a quarter of its life left.

Am I plunging too early? I notice they seem to be jumping a lot higher than me somehow.

Also, how do you not get stuck on the boss? Sometimes I end up too close to the boss, and when I try to jum,p I crash into it.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 08:58

Firstly, are you also on Fearless? If you're on Menacing or lower then you won't get the huge buff, and if you're on Dire then ofc it's HP will be more.

Second, it generates it's gravity field after it teleports to the center of the arena, and that lasts about 30-40s or so? During that time, normal jumps are improved and you can get the buff, so Varesa can add a couple of manual jumps to do an extra combo even while skill is on cooldown. Outside of the gravity field window, you're back to normal combos and no buffs.

Third, not sure what to say about getting stuck, I also struggled with that on Flins. You should still be getting enough height for the buff though, so just check if you get the extra sword buff icon above your HP bar and continue as normal.

saviourQQ2026-01-07 13:20

Ya I’m on Fearless. Maybe those YouTubers all have C6 Chevreuse and Signature? I only have C1 and am running Lost Prayer which is supposed be about 15 or 20% worse than signature but I’m critical for like, 250k? And every video I see of Varesa C0 they are doing like 400-500k and same teammates with fav or F2P weapons. I even have C2 on Mavuika.

I finally managed to do it once with 2 seconds to spare without screwing up any plunges.

KyrrithK2026-01-07 20:45

C6 Chev and Iansan probably, missing those two is a big hit to Varesa's damage. Or just artifact build quality. Like if you watched Zajef's video, he even says that his Varesa build is like top 10 in the world, so you shouldn't be expecting similar numbers to him.

bl3hh002026-01-07 14:50

Pls help me..

So yknow, for some specific quest from Fontaine, you have to finish some sumeru quests and commissions. And to unlock these commissions, you gotta finish the quest "Garcia's paean" From liyue. And i have this problem.. I remember finishing that quest in liyue long ago, like i barely do. And when i check the place where the quest appears, it doesn't. I tried to do the time skip thing many times just to be sure and nothing appeared. So, I've set sumeru as my main daily commission region or whatever but i haven't gotten any Garcia commissions and it's been like 4 days? Soo am i doing something wrong? Or is it just my luck and i just have to wait?
