Hmmm.... Interesting.....

I was originally hoping columbina to be a dark theme kind of character. But what we got is a pookie XD. Well not that I mind it. But the animations are very underwhelming. The ult build up is insane but it goes away instantly without a proper finish. And let's not talk about the normal attacks. Kokomi has a better normal attack animation than whatever hoyo cooked up for columbina. I was so excited for her but alas. This is sad.

This Serapel character was released 4 years ago btw. Before anyone says they copied columbina or something.

Lin_Mie2026-01-09 19:56

Then play that character that you like more ?

Hmm... interesting....

That's the issue..... I like navia. But the powercreep is so insane that you need lunar reaction character to clear endgame now. So I gotta get bina no matter what, to make navia usable again. In 5 years of me playing this game. 6.x was the first time i couldn't clear abyss because I didn't have lauma. Guess I'll have to get her on her rerun no matter what

FreakyBina can't hurt you she doesn't exist...

Meanwhile FreakyBina in another game

Columbina but Hot Topic in the mid-late 2000s

People shit on Columbina's dress but praising this not wearing panty design ☠️☠️

InukoJon2026-01-09 20:16

I’m not now nor have I ever shit on Bina and I’m not exactly praising this fit, however, I am a gooner so I don’t exactly hate it.

In Genshin, there are no evil characters. Even La Signora wasn't. Wait for the next patch and figuring out that Dotorre is actually a chill guy, until idk his dad died of diarrhea and everyone posting here on Reddit, that they understand why Dotorre did that.

Select_Ad11832026-01-09 20:06

That would be a crazy lore 🤣

Yani-Madara2026-01-09 20:17

I don't know if this is satire or not but that's so funny.
What if Dottore is an animal lover and only does painful experiments to humans? 🤣

Bro wanted to capture an Aranara but real scientists that research animals just grab them, take a blood sample, give them food and release them.

At this point I'm just wondering what they'll come up with.

DonAzoth2026-01-09 20:19

Yeah, Like Imagine Dottore is John Wick and they killed his dog xD

Yani-Madara2026-01-09 20:31

Well he has that bird thing on his shoulder 🤔

When Columbina started to like Dottore's experiments

Select_Ad11832026-01-09 20:09

That would be awesome . I like myself some maniac kind of characters 😂

Yani-Madara2026-01-09 20:10

Columbina is sussy, she volunteered for Dottore's experiments but when she found out they were tame, she got bored and left. Like guuurl, what were you expecting?🤨

FTFY

Expectation impact strikes again with made up expectations about characters in their minds and getting disappointed when the actual material doesnt line up with what they expected. Bonus points for gassing up a completely different character that is entirely irrelevant to discussion for no reason whatsoever than 5* hydro catalyst

Wow. You are good at 'fill in the blanks' 😂. I guess it is not cool to have expectations in 2026. Just take whatever people throw at you. Well not that it's the first time I'm dissatisfied with hoyo in my 5 years of playing the game. Do you perhaps know what happened last time when people were dissatisfied with a character kit?, good sir?. They buffed zhongli.... So yeah, if you are dissatisfied with something. Let your voice be out there. Who knows, maybe they will do something about the abrupt ult ending of columbina too.

Just saying you know.

And ik the image is from a different game. Because I was expecting her to be something like that. That's why I put it.

And when I said, i was excited for columbina.
Well, I actually was. Just like I was for the knave. They did nail it with the knave tho...

So, you subjectively don't like the type of character Bina is and fine with that. But you also subjectively don't like her animations (As you don't point out any objective problems with them like if they look or feel weird on account of actual problems with animation process, not intention) and you think Hoyo should "fix" it to fit your idea? (Based on your replies here)

Cuz, and this is also my subjective opinion and not "objectively right way", I think her animations fit her really well, as she does feel like the most "Soft" character and animations reflect that by not having high impacts. It makes more sense to me seeing Columbina singing/chanting for her attacks than actually hitting. The only "out of place" animations for me is her climbing, but I also idk what they would have done instead

(P.S. Not every character really needs "Big impact/drop" for their ults/animations, so I don't take that as objective problem)
