help! how do u think i should spend my savings?

i am an og player and have been waiting for columbina since her first leaks, originally i was gonna spend all my savings on her, but w all the team comps for her im not sure if its the best choice anymore. i stopped playing for around 2 years and bc of that i didnt get any new “meta” or compatible characters. as much as i love bina, for me being able to clear endgame content is important too. should i just aim for c2 r1 and stop there and save the rest for zibai? if i skip ineffa (ik her best support) will hoyo release any new nodkrai (specifically w moonlight/lunar reactions) in the future? not speaking of lauma or future ineffa reruns since it’ll be a while for that. or can i also just use all of my savings and then wait for nicole? i really like her character too!

will also be attaching my current characters, can anyone help me find possible teams for her pls?

One columbina one ZiBai One Nicole One Varka one sandrone

I'm joking obviously, I'm going to let someone else answer because I'm not very sure about team building especially since lunar reactions came out

If you’re hesitant about Columbina I recommend just waiting for another character! You don’t wanna have buyer’s remorse and lose your savings.

First Columbina, then Ineffa, after Columbina or Zibai, then Flins, and lastly Sandrone.

with lunar its likely not going to be a very common reaction, it will probably just be flins, nefer, zibai as the main dps with ineffa, lauma and sandrone as the corresponding supports and columbina as the big cheese. if you arent really interested in any of the dps then you would want ineffa for columbina to make the wheelchair which you could use on ayato

nicole is going to be hexenzirkel to go with varka and/or durin in all likelihood and probably wont fit into lunar teams except maybe some random flins team since he has some weird ones with durin so you never know

this is the info i was looking for, thanks!

Pull Ineffa first, columbina is useless without a character who won’t enable her kit, anyone telling you something else clearly doesn’t know how Columbina works.

Ineffa > > Columbina
This is a very strong core, if you go for weapons I would recommend ineffa’s but it’s not imp. I suggest pulling neuvilette if you don’t have though.

You have 250 pulls and you want c2r1? I mean, sure, doable, if you don't lose any 50/50s, but maybe gird yourself for disappointment

Columbina with Zibai or Ineffa will be a huge boost to your account compared to c2 'bina

EarSafe96202026-01-09 06:09

im guranteed at 76 pity, also alr calculated and will be getting 6.5k more primos from quests/exploration i plan to do before the next version even updates! (plus all the free pulls and primos on next banner im sure i can get c2r1)

It's 520 pulls to guarantee two more binas and a weapon after you get your guarantee. Good luck!

Hey! If you like Zibai, she actually benefits more from her vertical investment than having Columbina. If you want a really strong character, it would be reasonable to dump a big chunk of savings on Zibai (her best teammate, Illuga, should be on her banner) and get Columbina on the rerun if you still want her. This would also really help with your current lack of geo.

I'm guessing we're heading into a Hexerei focus after the lunar stuff. You could then save it all for Nicole and get whatever you like that goes well with her. You already have some good Hexerei characters like Klee, Fischl, and Mona!

Just get either Ineffa or Zibai in the same patch and you'll have a team for her. Ineffa is the best "low effort" combo, Zibai requires more thought but she comes out in the second half meaning you'll have more pulls by then.

Columbina is best with one of the 3 nod-krai dps (Flins, Nefer, Zibai). However, each of them needs their own dedicated supports (Ineffa, Lauma, Illuga respectively). She does wheelchair some older dps with Ineffa but I don't believe with anything in your list.

If you like Zibai, you could consider pulling Columbina C0R0 and then pulling for C2R0 Zibai. Columbina is very good on Prototype Amber and Favonius Codex. Zibai constellations are better than her sig, especially since it hopefully gives you more copies of Illuga her 4* support.

If you like Nod Krai dps (Nefer/Flins) and plan to pull them on their reruns, get C0R0 Columbina and C0R1/C1R1 Ineffa. If you lose the signature 50/50 on Ineffa and get Columbina's weapon it is usable, it's just not worth pulling for individually.

C2 Columbina is good and having it makes her signature more valuable. However, I don't think it should be a priority given your account state. Varka/Nicole might end up being more impactful for you for instance.
