Should I pull for anyone next patch??

So, hey there.

I've not yet completed the Natlan AQ so I've barely done anything in Nod Krai for refrence. I only have Nefer. I don't really care for Ineffa but I've heared she's insanely good as well as Columbina.
I don't really care for either of the characters but also I know there's lots of game mechanics hidden behind owning a character for Nod Krai and I don't really want to miss out. I also don't want to have zero characters from the region because then It would just not be great for the overall region mechanics...so my question is should I pull for either of these characters?? I'm leaning Columbina but also I want Illuga on the next banner as he's a new 4st but I don't know if I'll have any primos left over since I have 30 pulls right now (sitting at 50 pity, no guarantee.)

Thanks.

You can skip if you're not interested in getting Ineffa or Zibai, cause Columbina will re run very soon. So you can save some primos and get her after completing NodKrai AQ and then decide.

Good advice

Okay so.

Illuga does nothing unless in a Zibai team, so I do not recommend going for him unless you want Zibai.

Ineffa is a great generalist character, being a stronger Fischl but with a shield. She also enables Lunar-Charged by being on the team, and when paired with Columbina they can wheelchair most older carries.

Columbina is a character that's hard to recommend if she's the only Nod-Krai on your account, but you already have Nefer. Columbina enables all of the Lunar reactions by being in your party, but the Lunar Bloom part of her kit is balanced around Lauma. Having Nefer at least means it's not going to waste though.

Ineffa and Columbina are both strong picks to pull. If you want to play around with Lunar reactions, get Columbina. But her and Ineffa together would be best if you can somehow pull it off.

As with any banner, though, if you don't like the characters don't force yourself to pull.

Thank you for such a detailed reply, I feel like i have more of a plan now thanks to you :)

If your priority is to try all the mechanics you should pull columbina, she enable all lunar reaction.

Thank you

You need columbia for illuga to be good

CataclysmSolace2026-01-12 06:58

Funny enough Columbina is the character with the least value here. As you are required to have either a duo team of either Flins Ineffa, Nefer Lauma, or Zibai and her support. Yea she can enable all the reactions, but that also means you need the characters to make up for it. Her with being an "archon" it means she will rerun fairly regularly. (So Ineffa and Zibai are higher priority because it will take longer for them to come back.)

Ineffa has the most pull value of all the Nod Krai units currently. As she has so much utility and buffs. She's also the character I would recommend as the best value for a Lunar character for someone starting out.

You said you have Nefer, get Lauma first. Lauma is WAY more important to Nefer than Columbina will. (Especially C1 Lauma for the Healing)

This is Zibai's release, and her premium support is likely to come soon. And her banner will be the only way to get Illuga for now. (Unless you also want Neuvillette)

If you really like Zibai, then get her first. Otherwise, get Ineffa. Then save for Lauma and Columbina reruns, which both should happen within the next 6 months.

Zibai premium support is C6 Illuga, on the same banner.

CataclysmSolace2026-01-12 11:20

4 star is not a premium support.

_SkyfaII_2026-01-12 13:37

Yeah you definitely forgot the « C6 » part. Much harder to achieve than C0 5 star

CataclysmSolace2026-01-13 04:40

It doesn't matter. A premium by definition is a 5 star, especially in marketing.

The premium support for Skirk is Escoffier, for Flins its Ineffa, for Mavuika its Citlali, for Nefer its Lauma, for Kinich its Emilie. No other 4 star, c6 or not, is going to be their best team mate.

That's how the business model has worked for the past 2 years, selling characters in pairs. And you can say that even as far back as Inazuma days, as Kazuha was the premium support for most teams back in the day. Nahida was the premium support for all Dendro teams when she was released, and still is for the most part.

_SkyfaII_2026-01-13 07:58

O wise one, please then enlighten me 🙏🙏

Who were Mualani or Varesa premium supports ?

Zibai won’t have one just like them.

Stick_and_Bone2026-01-12 17:32

Thank you so much I appreciate you saying all this, I didn't consider the rerun value

Jumpy_Locksmith_96922026-01-12 06:59

You can go for lauma, nefer beeds lauma more than columbina. Lauma is great for any bloom teams too. She acts like a nahida replacement. But if you don't like her, you can go for ineffa or columbina, both are good supports.

But if u want a dedicated team for nefer, save for lauma rerun. Or if u think you can pull now and still can save fir lauma rerun without burnout, go for columbina.

Thank you

" I don't really care for either of the characters"

pull for the characters you like the most, if you don´t care for and don´t like any of these characters then skip

Stick_and_Bone2026-01-12 17:33

Thank youuu I wanted Lauma in the first place too so I think i'm going to wait for her rerun so I can have my dendro girlies
