[Columbina] & [Ineffa]

I am a returning player who cant decide whether to pull for Columbina or Ineffa, although columbina catches my eye more than ineffa, i dont even know if any of my current characters work with them both, i would prefer to use my 5 stars over the base 4 stars and i dont really care about meta, more so viability. Please give me an opinion.

friskyBananna2026-01-14 18:40

I would show pictures of my characters but i dont know how to do that

burnpsy2026-01-14 23:15

Take screenshots and upload them onto an image sharing site, then post the link.

Can't answer without this info.

friskyBananna2026-01-14 18:50

Dumbest mf subreddit ever, might as wel ask an ai for help

ProcedureNo26702026-01-14 18:50

\[Columbina\]

just came back to the game and got Columbina and idk what to do with her, I also got her weapon so it would be a waste not to build a team for her but I have no idea how the Lunar reactions work, apparently a team of nahida, bina and kuki works but idk how or why and how I would play that and who would be the 4th slot

Significant_Yak40932026-01-14 21:13

In general shes pretty great with nod krai characters but she also makes any reaction a lunar reaction. So id say focus on electro or bloom teams with her .

https://imgur.com/a/B5X6Y1p

Hey all, wanted to get some opinions on how to allocate my pulls until 7.0. On average I should be able to get about 7 limited 5-stars by then, maybe a tiny bit more if some those are weapons instead of characters. Not sure if I should look for another team to build, or invest a little more into existing characters/teams.

Pretty strongly considering grabbing Ineffa right now. I feel like the flexibility would be nice if there's content tbat doesn't want dendro damage or something, even if I end up committing to lunar bloom and leaving her out most of the time. And it seems like she isn't a bad option to sustain Nefer teams? Not really sure what to focus on after that, though.

[Columbina]

Hello everyone. I'm a Zhongli main, I use him in almost all of my teams and he's my favourite character.

My question to you is since Columbina has been released (and I had the great fortune of getting her at soft pity), would playing DPS Zhongli be viable? (bc of lunar crystallize) If yes, which teams can I formulate to do so? I'm completely f2p and I play for fun, I've never pulled on the weapon banner.

My C0 Zhongli is already on a sort of sub-DPS build. He has the Blackcliff Pole since that's the only 4 star polearm with a crit substat that I could find, 4pc glad and all talents at 10. I will pull for the Staff of Homa when Hu Tao gets a rerun.

Any thoughts or advice regarding teams, weapons, artifacts, etc? Please note that I am not concerned with the meta. I only play and pull for the characters I like.

HK_99522026-01-15 17:47

I'm not an expert in DPS Zhongli, but so far, the strongest Lunar team I've seen is the Columbina and Ineffa wheelchair with Xilonen. Furina can also be an option. More F2P geo options are Kachina and Geo MC. Illuga is a 4-star dedicated to Luanr crystalize (Zibai specifically), but I'm not sure if he would be useful for Zhongli. If you don't mind Zhongli being off-field, then get Zibai, and you should have a very strong team.

Significant_Yak40932026-01-14 21:10

Hi!So Im kind of an old player but Im super bad at team cops.I have a couple of 5 stars,and i was wondering if someone can help me make some teams. I have:Skirk,Kokomi,Yelan,Mona,Keqing,Jean,Klee,Itto,Yumemizuki,Tighnari,Columbina,Hu Tao,Raiden,Nilou,Nahida,Nefer and Furina. I have all 4 stars except for Candance, Mika, Freminet, Kachina, Iansan and Jahoda. The team I currently have is: Skirk,Furina ,Mona and Kokomi but i plan on replacing Kokomi with Escoffier when her rerun comes!! Any team combo suggestions?Please and thank you!!

HK_99522026-01-15 17:56

Aside from the Skirk team, you can do Nefer, Columbina, Nahida, and Kokomi for healing. Kuki is another option for healing (and some Quicken damage), but make sure to use Nefer skill i n the start to prevent Hyperbloom.

Klee became a good DPS after the witch buffs, and her cons are free so you can make a good Overload team with Klee, Fischl, Chevreuse, and Bennett.

There are other options like Lunar crystalize with Itto and Columbina, but for now, it's best to focus on 2 strong teams (Skirk and Nefer).

FewFaithlessness14542026-01-14 21:27

\[Columbina\] & \[Ineffa\]
Hello everybody.

I just got myself Columbina C2 and a new Ineffa. I already have Lauma but no other 5\* Nod-Krai Character.
What would be a good Team i could make with them?
No i dont have C6 Aino.

I have been thinking of my C2 Furina or C2 Nahida or maybe Yelan, but i dont know what would fit the best.
I am open for suggestions. It can even be a team without using the 3 but maybe just 2. For Example:
C1R1 Arle + C2R0 Columbina + C0R0 Ineffa + (Maybe C6 Bennet?).

Just want to know what good options i have with building

HK_99522026-01-15 18:10

Columbina and Ineffa wheelchair can pretty much be used with any character unless their kit is specifically against it (Skirk being locked to Freeze, for example), so you can definitely use them with Arle and Bennett.

CTMacUser2026-01-14 21:32

[Columbina, Yahoda, Aino]

There’s been so much attention to using Columbina with the 5-star Moonsign units, that using Columbina with Jahoda and/or Aino hasn’t come up. Any ideas?

HK_99522026-01-15 18:10

Columbina mostly support other Lunar DPS characters, which is why she's mostly tied to them. Jahoda is unfortunately clunky to use, and without her C6, she's considered a downgrade to Sucrose. Aino is okay at Hydro application with Ascendant Gleam, but her personal damage is very low.

yvens182026-01-14 22:05

\[Columbina\] with Nefer and Lauma
Could someone please tell me which artifact set each of them should be using when they are on the same team? All are C0R0

burnpsy2026-01-14 23:10

Columbina on Serenade, Lauma on Deepwood, Nefer on the Night Sky set.

trippyonz2026-01-14 22:16

What artifacts and main and substats for when Columbina and Ineffa are together?

WhooooCares2026-01-14 22:26

Ineffa should on the new NK set Aubade or Glided Dreams for damage. Columbina would hold SMS with Ineffa on the team.

Tzekel_Khan2026-01-14 22:40

How do I build Columbina ass on-field? Could I use a 4star dendro to pull it off?

burnpsy2026-01-14 23:10

Everything in her kit involving Lunar Bloom, including her onfield damage, is balanced around Lauma's existence. Lauma and 4-stars in the other slots is worth it, Columbina as the only 5-star will be weak.

Tzekel_Khan2026-01-14 23:57

I dont have Lauma. I meant is there a substitute I could use thats 4 star to activate her lunar bloom

burnpsy2026-01-15 00:06

You can activate Lunar Bloom using *any Dendro* if Columbina is in the party.

I'm saying that her scalings are intentionally lower and multi-hit because Lauma exists. If you math it out, her Lunar Bloom damage comes out way lower than her Lunar-Charged and Lunar-Crystalized damage. So doing so is not recommended; without Lauma, she's effectively an off-fielder who can't deal good damage on-field.

Tzekel_Khan2026-01-15 00:58

Well would it be enough to not be sluggish in overworld or main story quests? As it stands i don't keep one single character out most of the time anyway.

burnpsy2026-01-15 01:18

Yes, you can certainly make main DPS Columbina work for just the story stuff without Lauma. You want buffs to HP/EM/Lunar and good dendro/electro/geo off-field application to maximize her damage (her damage as a main DPS is direct Lunar Bloom damage, meaning dendro not hydro damage)

Tzekel_Khan2026-01-15 01:22

I have kirara, kaveh, collei and traveler for dendro. What would be better there? You said to add electro and geo? I have a Raiden and Navia ready to go? Also Xilonen

burnpsy2026-01-15 02:07

Yes, on a team with Lauma you would lean heavily into the Lunar Bloom damage, but without Lauma you're just trying to trigger Lunar Reactions as much as possible. They didn't really design other teammates with her in mind.

Columbina is a good support in a Navia Xilonen team comp, BTW. Lunar Crystalize actually does damage unlike the normal kind, and Navia has some QoL in her kit involving the new reaction (i.e. she doesn't have to collect shards anymore). Last slot would be Bennett or some other buffer like Furina.

If onfielding Columbina under these account limitations, probably just make it a hyperbloom comp with Raiden, whichever dendro feels the most comfortable, and a second hydro or electro. You need to be able to react your dendro with hydro every couple seconds to charge Verdant Dew for Columbina's charged attacks, so probably Traveler.

I will note, if you get Ineffa, then Raiden Columbina Ineffa Sucrose is one of the best Raiden teams. She helps battery Columbina's high ER needs.

Tzekel_Khan2026-01-15 02:13

I have bennet i think but not furina. Those are the only good options on that one?

And for the onfield suggestion, you're saying dendro Traveler?

burnpsy2026-01-15 02:20

Anyone who isn't Geo/Anemo and can buff either Navia or Columbina's damage is good as slot 4 in the Navia setup.

And yes, dendro traveler. I would have suggested someone else if you had someone with off-field application, but most of your other characters don't or it's very minimal.

Superb-Raspberry64572026-01-14 22:53

[Columbina] and [Ineffa}
I am a returning player and just pulled Bina. I should be able to get to a 50/50 on ineffa this patch. I am wondering if it is worth pulling for her as I would be running a team like: Bina, Ineffa, C2 Fischl, anemo filler ( I don't have sucrose :( )
Also if you have any recs on who the filler should be would love to hear that as well
currently the only nod-krai 5* I have is Columbina herself

thanks

burnpsy2026-01-14 23:08

You should be able to get a Sucrose from the Witch's Homework tutorial quest, unless that was a one-patch deal? She's also in the starglitter shop. Best alternate is probably Lan Yan, but Sucrose is way better than even most 5-stars in that slot since she buffs EM. Alternatively, run a DPS in that last slot (none of your other 4 are onfielders).

Ineffa is worth pulling, and is a strong duo with Columbina to fit into a wide variety of teams. Many old carries like Raiden, Hu Tao, Cyno, etc. have Ineffa and Columbina as their strongest team.

Superb-Raspberry64572026-01-15 00:03

Oh perfect, I'll look into the witches homework! Hopefully I can that would be clutch. Thanks for the advice, now I've just gotta win my 50/50😭

burnpsy2026-01-15 00:12

Zibai comes with a good team on her own banner. You want to fish for minimum C2 on Illuga (cons on Illuga is a bigger damage increase to her than having Columbina).

You have a variety of potential Neuvillette team comps, also.

But I would recommend Zibai for 2 reasons. Firstly, Neuvillette's damage is starting to fall off. Secondly, you have several hydro damage dealers (even if they're all off-fielders) but no geo ones, so Zibai fills a niche on your account.

Tricky_Energy76972026-01-15 00:14

Columbina

Saving for Alice pulled for her because moon goddess but didn't expect to win the 50/50.

I don't have any other Moon Sign character's except for the free one. And I already have a c0 Furina and c6 Xinque for my Skirk freeze and Mavuika vaporise team.

Currently the best use I can see for our moon goddess is as an extra hydro applicator in the theater.

Does anyone have any better ideas? Is columbina better than c6 young master?

HK_99522026-01-15 18:17

Unfortunately, for the Skirk team, the most Columbina can do is hold R5 TTDS. If you have any DPS Geo characters, you can try Lunar Crystalize.

tosiakczek2026-01-15 01:11

Hii can I built any decent team with those characters + Columbina and Varesa? I dont need them to crit 500k, just to explore without any bigger struggles?

4 stars
•everyone except jahoda and dalia

5 stars
• anemo: venti, kazuha, scara,
jean, mizuki
• electro: Ei, Keqing
•cryo: ayaka, qiqi, citlali
•hydro: mona, yelan

WetCardb0ardBox2026-01-15 04:33

Varesa Iansan Pyro Traveler Chevreuse. Varesa can be swapped for Raiden, Iansan can be swapped for Fischl or C2+ Sara, Traveler can be swapped for Xiangling.

Olemgar2026-01-15 01:14

\[Itto\] with Columbina and Innefa (and Xilonen)

Which artifact set for him?

Was thinking of giving this team a go since I'll have the Itto C2 in a few weeks. But regarding his artifact set, should I keep him on his old bis, Husk, or should I give him the new main DPS set from Nod-Krai, since he'll be driving Lunar-Crystalize? (I'm not good at math haha)

Lucy_SenzaHTT2026-01-15 02:18

Columbine | in the Archon team
Well, I'm a player who spends more time reading the lore than actually playing the game, but on my account I'm focused on getting all the Archons, Gods, Witches, Dragons, Deities, etc...
And all my teams only use the 6 Archons and now Columbine.
In view of this, which artifacts should I use on her?
Raiden has Golden Dreams with full elemental mastery, Nahida has Memory of the Forest, Zhongli has Milelith (I intend to make him Lunar DPS in the future), Furina has Golden Troupe, and Venti has the new Witches set that I use on the team with Durin and Green Sombra, and finally Mavuika has Obsidian.
Thinking about this, what is the best artifact for her? I'm considering getting Ineffa in a rerun, but first I'll get Neuvillet and start saving for Tsaritsa C6R5.

DyZh53422026-01-15 02:54

Returning player, what teams can I use that are viable, and who would be good pulls?
[https://imgur.com/a/QmVFfUU](https://imgur.com/a/QmVFfUU)

burnpsy2026-01-15 04:25

If you can somehow swing for both banner units, both Raiden and Hu Tao have Ineffa + Columbina as their best teams at present. (Ineffa > Columbina for them both, but the two really synergize in a way that can wheelchair older teams.)

Without additional pulls, though...

You can try to build Kinich, Raiden, or Hu Tao hypercarry teams. Which one is stronger more or less goes from newest to weakest.

716672026-01-15 05:47

[Columbina] & [Ineffa]

My current team is hu tao, xq, furina, and xilonen. Im planning to get mavuika and use her in a team with citlali, xilonen, and Bennett (c6 but its unactivated rn). I also have iansan so I can use furina and xilonen together in another team. Should I pull columbina and ineffa, columbina and zibai, or none of them and save for future characters (not interested varka or Alice)? I have 250 pulls so I dont think I could get three characters unless I wait for reruns (like getting columbina ineffa flins). I was considering zibai to make use of zhongli or furina+xilonen, but columbina and ineffa could wheelchair my hu tao, Xiao, and wanderer, which is the better option to clear endgame and be more future proof?

Amazing_Doughnut_1972026-01-15 06:38

for the next 5 months we'll have lunar shill, so having 1 lunar bina team will basically get u a fearless clear for one stage more or less guaranteed, and with a very well optimised c0 team u can hit dire sometimes although its v sweaty. if its abyss ur talking ab then u'll be fine one side with mav cit ianc2/xilo benc6 and lunar side other side if that's the route u wanna go. personally u'll get more accurate info on zibai towards the end of bina banner so u can always wait to see before u jump and get bina

No-Neck29792026-01-15 07:20

I joined the game 3 weeks ago, I am rank 44 rn and just finnished Fontaine's story. My favourite charcter is Neuvillette and I would very much like to pull him, but I dont have any good charcters for him. I pulled 85 times on Ineffa's banner and got Diluc and pulled another 20 and didnt get her. Should I continue pulling for her and risk me getting my favourite charcter. I want Neuvillette to have a strong team and found out about how Luama will be reruning soon which means I will be able to make a good team. So should I pull Ineffa and risk Neuvillette for a good hyperbloom team or pull a guaranteed Neuvillette?

Ivorykingchrono2026-01-15 14:48

Who do you have currently? Neuvilette generally wants other elements to trigger reactions to buff his charged attacks and preferably a 4pc VV Anemo user to shred Hydro Res. If you got Fischl she can work well with him for raw damage. Depending on how much more exploration/content you have to complete, you could try to get Ineffa anyway, since we're getting extra pulls due to the new Region and Lantern Rite freebies. If you want to play it safe, we'll get confirmation for the next patch banners before Neuvilette's ends anyway.

No-Neck29792026-01-15 14:58

I do have Fischl C3, and I decided I'll pull for Ineffa

DeffKunnnn2026-01-15 09:01

I just play like 1 week ago, is there any team comp recommendation for Explore and clearing some content?https://imgur.com/a/gWTwUMj

And also who should i pull in these banner?Columbina or Inefa?

Slasherplays2026-01-15 10:58

\[Columbina\]

Im stupid so need some assistance with Columbina. Managed to get her and have 30k primos left. I can share favonius codex between her and Xianyun, or should I give her Prototype amber and pull on Neuvis weapon when it comes around. My plan would be primarily to build her with zibai as I dont have ineffa ( I guess with 30k I might somehow manage to get both of those if I wanted to try). I stopped spending money on the game long time ago ( 2.0 ish) so dont have sacrificial jade or whatever the catalyst from the newer BP drops is.

silv3rd4v32026-01-15 14:01

Will still need to see how zibai works, but probably bina+zibai is the f2p friendlyes 5\* if we talking about weapons. Fav is fine with bina, and proto amber also its fine (i use proto amber on her), and zibai, because is a def scaler, with a shield (zhongli?) can go with harbringer of dawn.

Overal, the combo bina-ineffa-lauma seems to be the best one right now, but zibai could be a good alternative and easy to build.

TEMP__rem2026-01-15 12:39

What's best for Flins? Ineffa C1, Columbina, or weapon for Ineffa

_MuadDib_2026-01-15 13:14

I don't know the calcs, but would be surprised if Ineffa constellation or weapon would be better than Columbina, given she will buff both Ineffa and Flins lunar damage and does decent damage on her own.

KuzKan2026-01-15 13:18

[https://imgur.com/a/1ScXKZQ](https://imgur.com/a/1ScXKZQ)

Heya! Just started a new account on a different region to play with a friend but i'm inclined to save my pulls for a decent amount of time, which means i won't have many options for teams.

Was thinking of doing a sunfire team with jean/bennet/kaeya/xinqiu from lantern rite and if i ever need a second team, then maybe i could pick tighnari from the 5\* selector + fischl from the hexerei selector and make a quicken team. Do i have any better options? I'm actually looking foward to play with some of these characters since i've pretty much never used them on main.

Thank you!

_happyman2026-01-15 13:48

So I pulled and got Bina but it turns out I don't even have her team 😞😞

Could you guys please suggest two good high damage team? I'm struggling with ascension as well as the the abyss.

Silken moon or morning star for ineffa?

Ok-Base21302026-01-15 14:07

Citlali
I haven't been activelty playing the game since probably two years (or a bit less). I did lock on to it here and there but the game never really catched me again. Now that Columbina came out I want to get back into the game but all my teams sadly are not meta anymore. I did pick up Citlali on her banner, but never managed to get a good pyro dps for her. Can someone help me put together a playable team for her? (I have like no clue of the current meta lol)
sadly i cannot put a picture of all my characters in here but maybe you guys can give me help based on older characters (the only 5 star fountain character i have is Neuvilette, the rest of my 5 stars are all from older regions)

Hungry-Message81822026-01-15 14:20

Columbina
I dint mean to pull for her, but i got her in like 20 pulls. I just want a c3 fischl but i did achieve c3 fischl but i dont know what to do with columbina, any tips for like what team should i put her? i dont know anything about columbina

my main team is uh durin, bennette, fischl and lan yan

durin is level 80 while the rest is level 70. And also my columbina is now level 70 (am new here at this game, ar 45 💔)

Ivorykingchrono2026-01-15 14:44

Columbina is BiS for Lunar-Reaction teams i.e. best teammate for most of the Nod-Krai characters. You could get Ineffa for a very strong off-field combo or Zibai for a Lunar-Crystallize team. Other than that she functions as a off-field Hydro support for Electro-Charged, Bloom, and Geo teams.

National_Birthday9022026-01-15 14:50

I'm trying to make a team with nefer, lauma and columbina but idk who should be the last one since I don't have ineffa nor nilou. Any suggestions?

Blast_Lightning2026-01-15 15:27

Which character should I used and how and for what?, don't worry about leveling up.
Right now my team consists of Noelle level 27 , razor 27, kaeya 27, aether 27 with protocol rancourt ,. But I also upgraded annd have amber 25 and Ororon level 25 with stringless bow

[columbina]

So I’m new to Genshin and don’t play seriously but I’ve been having a hard time with clearing levels and fighting bosses. So I just found out that there’s a way to build teams and now I’ve realized I don’t have a main DPS like at all (don’t ask). I’ve been saving up my primos and REALLY want Zibai cuz she cute. But the thing is I have escoffier and I love her and want to build teams around her. So I’m troubled if I should pull neuvillette, and maybe wait for skirk since she might be rerunning soon. Or pull zibai and Columbina since they need each other. Can I still use escoffier on that team? I don’t really know. Any input would help!

Queeniac2026-01-15 18:00

[Columbina] [Ineffa]
I find myself in the unfortunate position of having Columbina, R1 Ineffa, and plenty of fully built 4* supports but no Flins to complete the Lunar Charged team. Is there an Electro main dps alternative to Flins that I can run? I have C1R1 Clorinde and Raiden Shogun, as well as a few Electro subdps like Yae Miko and Fischl. I’ve been running Clorinde with Flins team using her normal BoL artifact set but I’m wondering if there’s something I could be doing differently. Any advice or am I just cooked?

savethebraincells2026-01-19 23:37

[COLUMBIINA]

Character(s): Zibai Bina Illuga Gorou

Best artifact set and stats to prio for each?

HK_99522026-01-20 09:15

Zibai on Night. DEF and crit.

Illuga on Silken Moon. EM and ER.

Columbina on Aubade. HP and crit. Use ER sands if necessary.

Gorou on Instructor. His stats don't matter for his buff (only his healing if he's C4), so just look for ER and crit rate if he's on fav.

Variffa2026-01-20 01:29

[Columbina]

Bina-Ineffa-Nefer-Aino

Artifact set and stat priority for Bina?

HK_99522026-01-20 09:27

Silken Moon HP, HP, crit. Also, I recommend replacing Aino with a 2nd Dendro to hold Deepwood and generate Verdant dew for Nefer.

Variffa2026-01-20 09:50

I find Columbina doesn't do much hydro application off field so doesn't generate much Vdew for Nefer alone. But I'll try it. I have yaoyao, collei, kaveh, kirara and tighnari, who's best? And how would the rotation go?

HK_99522026-01-20 10:56

I'm not sure about the rotation, but it should probably be Nefer skill > Columbina skill & burst > Ineffa skill & burst > Collei skill & burst > Nefer combo

seasonofyewon2026-01-20 02:39

[Columbina] [Ineffa]

I’m playing Columbina as main dps and have her on the night sky set. If Ineffa’s on sms and lauma on deepwood, would the fourth slot be aino on aubade? Or am I getting the artifact assignments all wrong…

HK_99522026-01-20 09:30

Aubade is for off-field DPS characters (mainly Ineffa), and Aino has very low personal damage, so never use it on her. For this team, use Nahida if you have her or Sucrose as both give valuable EM buff.

seasonofyewon2026-01-20 11:10

Wait actually yeah idk why I assumed the dmg bonus applies to the team instead of, yknow, the character equipping it. Maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me. Sorry man, and thanks a lot!

RenDude362026-01-20 03:37

\[Columbina\]\[Ineffa\]\[Albedo\]\[Sucrose\]
Anyone did or have calcs for this team? Sounds like a pretty good team on paper, that enhances the wheelchair comp but would be nice to know how much they're actually doing before I commit to rolling

Didnt calc the dmg of that team but a quick question came to my mind: What does albedo do there? This teams seems to be a columbina onfield, but albedo doesnt seem to give you more that fischl or some dendros can do.

RenDude362026-01-20 23:48

No, Sucrose would be on field and Albedo would be doing subdps with his hex buffs and giving 125EM for the team for lunar damage (plus some damange from lunar crystallize)

silv3rd4v32026-01-21 15:49

IDK... albedo buffs were good but i feel (and more with sucrouse onfielder/driver), that fischl there will do more dmg. You're swirling electro and ineffa and fischl by herself already do good dmg.

As i said, i didnt make the calcs but fischl there will give you more dmg than albedo, and the reactions in this tam are mostly Electrocharge, which even if scales with em is not the highest dmg reaction.

Help on team building and who to pull for those teams

Characters: \[arlecchino\]\[furina\]\[durin\]\[ineffa\] \[columbina\]\[zibai\]\[gorou\]\[illuga\]\[lauma\]\[baizhu\]\[citlali\]\[nefer\]\[bennet\]

I am currently at a dilemma of who to pull for what teams. I am a f2p and only have enough pulls for two more five stars after pulling for columbina and ineffa. I either want to do a team of

arlecchino durin furina ineffa

With zibai illuga columbina gorou

with the possibility of not getting enough illuga cons as well as possibly getting c1 zibai or the teams of

arlecchino citlali furina bennet

And columbina ineffa lauma with flex slot

or arlecchino durin furina ineffa

with nefer lauma columbina baizhu

either way I need to get 2 more characters but don't know which teams to pull for. BTW my arlecchino is r1 if that helps and the hp drain from furina does not bother me

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 18:44

Bina-ineffa allows you to complete nearly any nodkrai type team with just 1 pull (neffer, flins, zibai, or lauma for weelchair). The things i didnt like is that you face arlecchino into a electro-hydro team which will not work: furina has very high antisinergy with arlecchino (arle cannot be externalhealed, and furina drains EVEN MORE arle hp, which is extreamly riscky to play).
You can try a vape/melt team for arle, or overload (usually a step or 2 below the first 2 ones), but overload requires chevreuse always. I always prefered alrecchino paired with yelan-xinqiu or citlali.

its not clear who you have and who you miss (did you have durin, citlali, furina, baizhu and lauma? or you miss some of them?

For arlecchino the ideal is arle-citlali-xilonen-bennet/dehya, but xinqiu-anemo-bennet can also work fine and doesnt need any 5\*.

Zibai banner + bina can literally be a team by itself, but it has some alternatives as albedo+mona, zhongli, chiori...

Ineffa-bina-lauma is a safe bet, you can put anyone at last spot and work.

Neffer best team might still be neffer-lauma-bina-ineffa, where probably ineffa is the one that can be changed.

i would need a bit more context: who you have and who you miss?

Exciting_Forever_7412026-01-21 02:33

sorry for confusion I am missing citlali nefer lauma and zibai illuga since they haven't released yet and the rest of characters I have

silv3rd4v32026-01-21 16:00

In this case... idk xD It will be a bit more of your preferences, but maybe this could help:

\- Arle doesnt need any 5\*. citlali is fine, but xinqiu/yelan/rosaria can also be fine.
\- Zibai will not need any extra 5\*, maybe zhongli but it have another options.
\- Lauma by herself can complete your wheelchair trio with furina and ineffa, and you can use any character you want in the last slot.
\- Neffer will require lauma, so if you want her you better get both.
\- Durin doesnt fit in any of those teams, and hes mostly used on oldschool mondstat teams. is a good support for new characters, but mostly his best spot right now is as varesa/chasca pyro support.

So, you can get:

\- Citlali-zibai, and improve 1 team and do a total new one.
\- lauma - neffer for 1 new team, proabbly the higher dmg lauma-ineffa-bina team.
\- Lauma and zibai, do a new team with zibai and get lauma-ineffa ready for some hyperbloom teams or simply as solo supports for dendro/electrocharge teams.
\- citlali-lauma, improve arle team and get the wheelchair team with lauma.

those are the options, and they are probably all decent in the meta so it will reduce to who you like the most?

suv-am2026-01-20 04:13

today i got ineffa. she and bina are my only nodkrai 5\*. what team do i use?

Wynvol2026-01-20 19:01

Bina, Ineffa, Fischl, Sucrose

Try to grab Flins when he reruns.

suv-am2026-01-20 19:03

I did abyss and used zingqiu instead of sucrose and it felt way better than using sucrose

Wynvol2026-01-20 19:44

Good to know. Thanks.

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 18:35

MM, builds and weapons can be upgraded but for what you got seems fine. The only thing i change in that rotation is to use bennet E to even get more particules before his Q, but other than that is still fine.

You may can go with cinder on xilonen, nobless on citlali and instructor on bennet, but i rather prefer your current build.

How much your mavuika does when cirt her burst?

miogacu2026-01-20 08:41

A Lost Prayer is my only 5\* catalyst, currently on Varesa. Whom should I put it on: Varesa, Neuvillette (currently on prototype, and I value its teamwide heal), Wrio (on flowing purity), or Columbina (on fav)?

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 10:58

the ones who can take more benefit are wrio or varesa. High atk doesnt matter for neuvi or bina, I will probably keep it as you have it right now, or, as and alternative, lost prayer on wrio, purity on neuvi, bina fav or proto amber, and use widsith on varesa.
Those are the options you have, but i feel its ok your current disposition.

Law_25262026-01-20 09:37

im a low ar can someone give me team just to go through story and exploration until i'm high ar, i have columbina,tighnari,noelle,sucrose,rosaria,aino,bennet,yanfei,yaoyao,xiangling,barbara and centered around columbina please

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 10:55

Usually the common temas for low ar are:

\-national type, xiangling-xinqiu-sucrouse-bennet
\-Tasser: sucrouse-xinqiu-fischl-beidou
\-hyperbloom: DendroMC-xinqiu-kuki-collei

in each case, any hydro (mostly xinqiu) can be replaced by columbina. If you aim to get ineffa or zibai teams can change, but with only her your best options probably are those 3 teams but with her instead of xinqiu.

Law_25262026-01-20 12:11

thanks, for columbina would it be better to pull for inefa now or wait for zibai?

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 16:09

in your condition probably better zibai; columbina-ineffa-lauma is the best trio in the game right now, but zibai is probably the most f2p friendly nodkrai dps, and comes in the same banner with illuga and goro (both work well with zibai), so you literally can build zibai-bina-illuga-gorou and be a top tier team, which is pretty hard to achive for a newrosters.

In long term might be better ineffa, but right now if you pick zibai and get also gorou and illuga, it will be way better for your account.

Which team should I build for Columbina? The gold star are the characters that I have.

Wynvol2026-01-21 02:12

I suppose Fischl, Sucrose, Xingqui but I would suggest getting another lunar 5 star when you can. Zibai isn't a bad option.

Duck-Lord242026-01-20 11:44

[Columbina]

I was originally running a nueve (c0), Nahida(c0), Raiden(c0), furina(c6) bloom team but if I replace nueve for columbina(c0) how much worse does it make her performance compared to a Columbina, Nahida, Raiden, Lauama team (I missed Lauma’s first banner). Just curious on how effective the team is without lauma

Wynvol2026-01-20 22:02

The damage is going to be significant. I would be surprised if that Columbina hyperbloom team hit 90k DPS with KQM standards. Where as the the Columbina and Lauma team should be easily be over 100k.

A big part of Columbina's kit is buffing lunar damage for other characters. You really shouldn't be playing Columbina without another 5 star that does lunar damage.

Bloom as reaction is outdated. You really shouldn't play a bloom team (that focuses on the reaction) without Lauma.

ObjectiveSpeaker3442026-01-20 11:47

Characters: [Lauma][Kuki][Yao Yao] [Barbara]
Hi I'm a bit new to genshin, haven't 36 star the abyss before. I just found out about the dps test on miliastra and found out my 2 teams only have about 45k dps which was lower than what I was expecting. I have a hyperbloom team with kuki, lauma, yao yao, Barbara and a flins team with flins, dori, aino, sucrose.

I keep seeing posts about teams being like >90k dps and wondering if I'm just doing something very wrong. I think maybe flins team is not very well invested but for hyperbloom I thought I more or less have most of the main things maxed.
My kuki is level 90 with triple EM flowers of paradise lost and Iron sting. Lauma also 90 with silken moon and the event weapon at R5 and level 9 skill and burst. Yao yao is 70 with deep wood and Barbara is 70 with instructors.

I can't really remember my flins team stats at the moment but I thought for hyperbloom at least should be easier to calc and get nearer to the theoretical dps. Currently the hyperbloom cores are doing about 40-50k per hit and about 100k when they crit. Lauma hold skill does about 60k I think when not crit and 130k on crit.

Not sure what else I should be upgrading for my teams

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 18:27

I think is a bit of everything. Hyperbloom team is way suboptimal, and flins team with "dori" might not be enough (take the consideration that flins best team with ineffa, she nearly do as much dmg as flins, so is a big diference vs dori).

Flins team needs another electro. Idk your roster but without ineffa the best second one is fischl. Aino and sucrouse are fine.

Lauma hyperbloom, while a bit out of the standart team, is actually decent, but the big problem is barbara: Hyperbloom to be able to constant triggering needs a good constant hydro application. That means that in that team, the only "semi viable" option is to play barbara ONFIELD, as a driver, and its still a bit far from better options (mostly xinqiu). Just that simple change matter ALOT.

Obviusly both teams are an "arrange" of the top tier ones acording on what you have, but if you dont have better alternatives to dori or barbara, dont push you, its normal that doesnt do as much dmg as the full complete teams.

ObjectiveSpeaker3442026-01-20 18:37

Thanks, I've been using on field Barbara because I was worried I wouldn't get enough hydro with my xing qiu as he is low cons at. I thought catalyst for hydro would let me apply hydro more consistently. Yea for flins I have fischl but I am not confident enough to play without a sustain so I use dori. I'm not very into the lunar reactions and characters but started playing around lauma first release, so just got enough characters to make 2 functioning teams, don't really want to get columbine or ineffa. Have been saving for other chars like varka. I might try subbing in xing qiu to see if that is better.

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 19:12

Xinqiu not only apply with his burst, but also with her swords around you if you are close to the enemy, and his burst extends for quite long time and have a reasonable personal dmg so at the end its way more dmg than barbara onfield (with xinqiu you can go lauma onfield).

I can understand the flins team situation. Did you have lanyan? she can replace sucrouse, give you a shield, and let you play fischl.

ObjectiveSpeaker3442026-01-20 19:25

Yea I do have lan yan actually. I think I kept with sucrose cos most people kept saying she is good for the em bonus as well. I'll have a play around to see if it helps with my flins team. I feel I'm sort of almost able to clear the current abyss, at 34 stars at the moment. Flins team seems OK probably cos of the shill but the hyperbloom side is a bit too slow.

Professional_Set9122026-01-20 15:01

Flins or Nefer?

I don’t have a Nod Krai main DPS as I am a returning player (returned at Durin’s banner).

So, I saved up and got Columbina and Ineffa since they are the only Nod Krai characters that came after Durin. I’m still planning to pull Lauma for the wheelchair team as well.

So, should I pull in 6.4 for Flins or save up until 6.6 for Lauma and Nefer? Who has higher DPS?

_MuadDib_2026-01-20 15:11

Whichever you fancy. Flins, Ineffa, Columbina is roughly same as Nefer, Lauma, Columbina. The one that will be better depends on your other characters, eg if you have Varesa team, getting Nefer team would be more valuable as you already have strong electro DPS.

Professional_Set9122026-01-20 15:40

My other electro DPSes might be outdated: Raiden national and Clorinde.

I have Kinich burgeon (without Emilie) and Alhaitham hyperbloom (nahida, Kuki, and furina).

So im not sure which is better in my case…

_MuadDib_2026-01-20 16:03

I guess getting Lauma and Nefer would be more flexible. As when needed you could use Columbina and Ineffa in other team.

eh_ririri2026-01-20 15:52

Should I pull for Ineffa?

Bina came home so I thought I'd try to pull for her. For context, I have Lauma but no Nefer or Flins. Also, I heard that Skirk and Escoffie will rerun on 6.4 and I've been wanting to play Skirk. Also, I have Furina but no Shenhe. Currently have 30 pulls

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 18:20

bina-lauma-inefa+whoever will work. You can even put a lvl 1 character at last spot and still work, thats how hard those 3 work together. So if you wana be save for nodkrai reaction teams, with them your pretty fine.

Barry_Allen_142026-01-20 16:17

does Kazuha and sucrose can be use interchangeably and if so which is better?

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 18:18

usually they can. The only exception is about constelations: if kazuha is c0 (or below c2), sucrouse tends to do better when your dps is heavy focused on big elemental reactions since she share some EM. On the other side, kazuha pre c2 doesnt do it but has better CC and in general way better abilites for exploration.

For a big numbers sucrouse c6 may give you higher dps, in general kazuha is more comfortable.

MattSum642026-01-20 16:43

Characters: Xiao, Ganyu, Yanfei, Barbara, Traveller, Arlecchino, Diluc, Xianggling, Fischl & F2P characters

What team could be a great build for adventuring through Natlan and Nod-Krai, since I'm at AR50 now and enemies and bosses are getting hard to deal with and if it could be a lil bit easier what team could it be?

silv3rd4v32026-01-20 18:16

I would put ganyu on nobless and quite some ER, and use her as arlecchino support for melts, and go arlecchino-ganyu-lynette+shield or heal. Ideally dehya or bennet.

Arle has a good dash for exploring, ganyu still hits fine from far, both can do melts which usually can get rid of any enemy (except pyro inmune ones, but then ganyu by herself can), and anemo unit to reduce defenses (with a sprint like lynnet, more QOL for exploring)... those 3 feel fine, last spot is probably only barbara in your case.

Complex-Amount-38442026-01-20 18:39

\[Columbina}

Is 46.7k hp too much for her?

current team: lauma, ineffa, kokomi, columbina (only kokomi has a proper artifact set for now, all c0)

stats: 47k hp(in party), 74% crit rate (not including the 15%), 146% crit dmg, 142% er

r5 amber, hp sands, hp goblet, crit rate circlet

personally do not find much issue with the lower than recommended er since she isn't solo hydro but would like some advice on what to focus on when farming and whether more er is really needed

Wynvol2026-01-20 21:55

Even after the 35k cap for her A2, Columbina's damage continues to scale with HP; and even more for main DPS Columbina. 46.7k is not too much HP for Columbina but if you can exchange equivalent rolls of HP for Crit value then you should.

As long as you can burst as needed you don't need more ER. Keep in mind that energy you get from enemies will vary depending on what you are fighting. So not having barely enough ER can be nice at times. There are several energy calculators online; search one and plug in your team if you want an idea of a baseline for ER.

Complex-Amount-38442026-01-20 22:03

thanks :D was just wondering if exchanging lower hp would be worth for better crit dmg

PlasticChart88032026-01-20 18:42

Character: *Venti*

Hey guys, I am not good at building characters so I tend to look up guides online. I believe venti is my best built character but im still farming his new artifact set and i was wondering if i should get more crit rate or if there are other stats to improve? am i supposed to have em on him? overall what can i do to improve him? he is C2 R0 btw! [here is my current build](https://www.reddit.com/r/venti/comments/1qi7l6m/venti_build/)

WetCardb0ardBox2026-01-20 21:17

ATK% sands, and more crit rate would be good. The new set gives him 20% Crit rate, so aim for 80% max, but \~60% should be workable.

Koanos2026-01-20 18:55

I'm debating between Silken’s Moon Serenade and Gilded Dreams for ineffa, what are their strengths for which team?

What is Ineffa's role on a team?

maicaming2026-01-20 20:50

ineffa is basically all in one support. she can shield, increase dmg output by increasing EM and ATK (mainly focusing on lunar charged). i would put SMS on ineffa due to her lunar mechanics she can provide to any team.

WetCardb0ardBox2026-01-20 21:25

She's a subdps with a pretty strong shield and some EM buffing. Mostly used for her damage though.

Silken moon has team buffs, gilded dreams is only for herself. If you meet Ascendant gleam requirements but don't have a Silken moon user on the team (Aino or Columbina), you can use it on Ineffa.

I would only consider Gilded if you already have a full set farmed and have a silken moon holder on the team. If you need to farm for a 4p gilded set, you should consider farming for 4p morning star instead since that set is about \~10% better than gilded on Ineffa.

Koanos2026-01-20 21:32

> don't have a Silken moon user on the team (Aino or Columbina), you can use it on Ineffa.

I have C0 Columbina equipped with Silken Moon with her weapon, same with Ineffa.

With my characters here, who can round out the team?

https://imgur.com/a/ay06Jvk

WetCardb0ardBox2026-01-20 21:44

Best put Ineffa on gilded or morningstar in your case.

Last 2 teammates depends on what type of team you want to play. My suggestions are Arlecchino Bennett, Raiden Sucrose, Mizuki/Ifa Fischl, Nahida Xingqiu. I personally like the Arlecchino + Bennett one the best.

All these suggestions will keep Skirk Furina Escoffier for another team.

Koanos2026-01-20 22:29

Then with Columbina and Ineffa, who should be paired up with them?

I was thinking of Nahida and Furina.

EDIT: I just realized what you were saying and got confused because there was no forward slash ( / ) or plus (+).

Arlecchino + Bennett sound like a good combination.

Why not Nahida + Furina over Nahida + Xingqiu?

WetCardb0ardBox2026-01-20 22:41

Furina's dmg buff from her burst does not apply to lunarbloom or lunarcharged damage, which is what you'll mostly be doing in that team. All she has to offer would be her personal damage, buffed by herself. She also actively drains hp to 50%, so from the 2nd rotation onwards, you'll be at half health, and she stops stacking her buff entirely.

Xingqiu does less personal damage, but he has better hydro application, gives damage resistance, and has some microhealing. With r5 sacrificial sword he also provides 10 hydro particles per rotation vs Furina's \~5.

Koanos2026-01-20 23:02

Dang... Well, I guess I will run Nahida + Xingqiu.

dxmcake2026-01-20 22:16

\[Ineffa\]
So, I'm a F2P that's very vertically invested into Yoimiya(C6, R5 Thundering Pulse, lv95) to the detriment of other team options. On average, I get anywhere between 33-36 stars in Abyss, but more importantly, I want to be able to get Arcana consistently in Imaginarium Theater if Pyro and Hydro aren't on the table. I also don't engage with Stygian Onslaught at all, for what it's worth.

I have a lot of supports built(Xingqiu, Fischl, Citlali, Bennett, Sucrose, Kokomi, Furina, Jean, Kazuha) but not so many characters in the damage department. Basically, if some combination of Yoimiya, Mualani, and Xiangling can't do it, no one can. I'm looking at picking up high-value characters that are universally good, and Ineffa seems to fit the bill? Other than the fact that I expect her to work decently well with Yoimiya, the idea would be that I also need to fill out my roster with other elements instead of trying to jam Pyro everywhere. As far as Lunar reactions, I don't expect to want to go that deep, but I could be wrong. I probably wouldn't pull for Nefer, for example, because I expect her to only be good on her respective team, but someone like Lauma or Nahida would open up a lot of doors for me. Similar is Flins, who, from what I understand, is exceptionally strong on a dedicated Flins team, but not as versatile as Ineffa would be. Let me know if this is incorrect and I'm being dumb, I guess, I'm just trying to be frugal.

My roster's biggest shortcoming is Dendro, where my best option at present is Dendro Traveler(I have C6 Collei and Kirara also, but I have no idea how these compare). Other problem areas are Electro and Geo, represented by exactly Fischl, Beidou, Zhongli, and... Ningguang, I guess? Cryo is in less dire straits thanks to Ganyu and Eula, but I'm not thrilled about that either. Power creep/HP scaling's tough on all my characters tbh, since most of my roster is older.

Anyway, that's my account in a nutshell, so question time. Is it worth it to pull just Ineffa and her weapon? Should I also consider Columbina, since they pair well together and there's a non-zero chance of going for Lauma in the future? Any other characters to look forward to in the near future? I'd probably be able to acquire both at C0 with weapons, if I dump close to everything(sitting at 65 Fates and 44k Primogems), but again, F2P, so I don't want to spend everything then not be able to pick up like, Xilonen or someone if they come up. Thanks in advance for any advice\~

EDIT: Clarification.

Wynvol2026-01-21 02:09

I don't know that Ineffa works as well in over-vape teams with C6 Yoimiya as she does with, say, Arlecchino as Yoimiya has much higher pyro application. And outside of lunar teams Ineffa is more limited in her selection. So Ineffa by herself seems less valuable.

If you want to go for Columbina and Ineffa and have them wheelchair characters then I think they are valuable pickups. Lauma is also a good support option if you interested in any bloom reaction. Also, all three can also come together to be a good Columbina main DPS core.

If you care about using Columbina as a main DPS then her weapon is solid value but not required. Ineffa's and Columbina's weapons are less valuable as supports; I would suggest you spend your pulls on another character to shore up your roster over investing in the weapons here.

dxmcake2026-01-21 02:33

I'd probably agree I wouldn't use her with Yoimiya often, if at all, because I have Citlali.

As far as Lunar is concerned, Lauma just seems really good to have in general, but it is 3 separate 5-stars at that point. If not those 3, then who would I be looking at picking up? A big DPS I can think of off the top of my head is Skirk, and that largely solves Cryo for me. May look at picking up Escoffier too, at that point. For Geo, it's probably just Xilonen or bust? And I have no idea what I want out of Dendro to begin with, other than it sucks not having it, but I don't have Kuki or anything for these teams. I have like, exactly Xingqiu, Fischl, and maybe Kokomi.

Wynvol2026-01-21 05:36

Skirk is great for cryo! You are right to grab Escoffier if you get Skirk (Escoffier is also useful for some double cryo melt teams). Keep in mind Skirk is very limited her team building (in a similar way to Nefer or Flins) in that she is basically only useful as a main DPS in her own currently narrow team.

You can get by minor cryo checks with other characters (Citlali + Cryo Flex). But for heavy cryo checks, like the SSA: Overseer Device in Stygian Onslaught, Skirk is the way to go. Assuming you are willing to risk having a hard time on a potential upcoming heavy cryo check, you could wait for new cryo characters to come out. There have been no cryo characters in Nod'Krai yet and Snezhnaya is the next region.
\_\_\_\_\_
So far, there is not a lot of mechanical value in Geo as any blunt attack works to break geo wards and other geo checks are minor. Until they add heavy geo checks to the game, you mostly only go for geo characters when they are good for a team or if you like them.

Personally, I wouldn't go for Xilonen unless you love her for a specific team (she's not bad but her value has dropped a lot). If there is a Geo character to get, it would be Zibai, in my opinion. Zibai teams are likely to naturally meet heavy geo checks in the same way Skirk teams deal with heavy cryo. These teams will also do good damage by today's standard. But I assume Zibai will have limited team building versatility like other modern carries.
\_\_\_\_\_
I think a good starting place for feeling out dendro is looking at the stronger options:

Nefer, Lauma, Columbina, Ineffa/Flex
Columbina, Lauma, Ineffa/Flex, Aino/Flex
Kinich, Bennett, Emily/Flex, Mavuika/Flex
Nilou, Lauma, Nahida, Columbina

Nefer is the damage ceiling and has a lot of dendro applications and hits. She can take some skill to optimize and many of her variants have weak healing/defense.

Columbina DPS only does dendro damage on her charge attacks and they do not apply dendro. She is the weakest by far for dendro checks but has the highest flexibility outside of being a carry.

Kinich is more challenging to play well but has high dendro application and hits; he has the quality of being able to\* incorporate units you may already have like Bennett, Mavuika, and Iansan.

Nilou is just there if you like Nilou lol.

I wouldn't go for Nahida right now as she has been power creeped by Lauma in any team that uses bloom reactions.

[Columbina]

Hi guys! I was wondering what is your opinion on my team?

I currently have Lauma, Columbina, Ineffa, and Nahdia as my main team. I'm trying to see what people think about it and if i should switch Nahdia out for someone else? My other options right now are Durin, Nilhou, Kuki, and Barbara. I started playing last year in September-ish.

Thanks ^~^

Wynvol2026-01-21 01:52

Your best on-field option is Columbina. Nahida passes EM to the on-fielder so it doesn't amazing to me.

Durin is decent but has some downsides. No second Hexenzirkel means you lose a bit of value on his shred. Also his pyro application might lead to losing lunar blooms and lunar-chargeds.

Nilou is okay but not at the cost of Ineffa.

Kuki would have to compete with Ineffa to land hyperblooms, (and hyperbloom's value goes down when they are stealing Lauma quills from Columbina to start with) so I would skip her.

Barbara can pass TTDS to Ineffa and gives hydro resonance making her a\* solid option. Alternatively you can go Aino who also gives hydro resonance, hydro particles and better hydro application. Further Aino passes the team EM at C1 and gives a lunar damage bonus at C6.

Trying to make a 2nd team, what can I do with what I have?

Characters:
- Chevreuse
- Noelle
- Kaeya
- Aino
- Ifa
- Amber
- Lisa
- Yumemizuki
- Tignari
- Diluc
- Sethos
- Lynette
- Collei
- Chongyun
- Fischl
- Xiangling

These are the characters I have available to me.

Wynvol2026-01-21 01:10

I'm guessing your account is a bit newer and still leveling. I would suggest building EM and messing around with overload:

Ifa, Lisa, Fischl, Xiangling

OverallAsk11872026-01-21 01:18

Oh thanks.

Kuriza_Demon2026-01-20 23:52

[Columbina]

Pulled her recently, and I made a team of Fischl, Columbina, Ororon and Yaoyao. I don't have any Nodkrai characters, so I wanted to know what artifacts I should put on Columbina, Ororon and Yaoyao (Fischl already has 4P Golden Troupe).

Wynvol2026-01-21 01:28

Fischl: Golden Troupe
Columbina: 2 piece Tenacity of the Millelith and 2 piece Vourukasha's Glow (change to the Night of the Sky's Unveiling once you have a second lunar character )
Ororon: Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (or Flowers of Paradise Lost/Gilded Dreams if trying to hyperbloom)
Yaoyao: Deepwood Memories

\[Venti\]

I want my Venti to be a sub-dps, not a main dps. (Yeah, I'm eyeing Varka considerably)

What would be a good support set for him? VV? The new Hexen one? Scroll?

Wynvol2026-01-21 01:32

I have not looked at the numbers but you probably want VV if you are not using him as a main DPS. Even if Varka's damage ends up being bad and you already have shred from Durin.

Olemgar2026-01-21 02:39

I see. Thanks for the advice!

PandaPartisan2026-01-21 04:12

Hi! Thank you for your time!

Getting into it, I'm a genshin noob and only just got together an okay team consisting of Flins, Columbina, Fischl (My Ineffa isn't leveled yet D':), Sucrose. However, I think I got to the point where I need a second team for the abyss ? Could anyone recommend something out of my characters that might work ? AR 53 if that's relevant.

Alphabetized char list included (Ignoring the 4 characters above);

Amber
Barbara
Collei
Diona
Dori
Fischl
Ifa
Jean
Kaeya
Lan Yan
Lisa
Lynette
Mona
Ningguang
Sethos
Xiangling
Xingqiu
Xinyan

And of course the MC!

Thank you for helping a noob out (: Lemme know if you need additional information!!

HK_99522026-01-21 09:43

Sethos is a good DPS for a 4 star, but since you already have an Electro DPS, I recommend getting a DPS from a different element. You can pull for Zibai and use Columbina with her while using Ineffa with Flins on the other side or get Skirk (top DPS) and Escoffier (Her most important support) next batch. I would not recommend going for Neuvillette anymore as he's starting to fall behind and I wouldn't recommend Varka either without Durin.

red8cangodye2026-01-21 04:24

Hi guys, need some advice on the best artifacts built for a variety of teams that includes Columbina and Lauma. This is my artifact plan, please let me know your thoughts (whether it can be improved for more DPS etc)?

Team 1 -
Nefer - Night of the Sky Unveiling,
Lauma - Silken Moon's Serenade,
Columbina - Aubade of Morningstar & Moon (with Sig weapon R1),
Nahida - Deepwood Memories.

Team 2 -
Nefer - Night of the Sky Unveiling,
Lauma - Silken Moon's Serenade,
Columbina - Aubade of Morningstar & Moon (with Sig weapon R1),
Sucrose - Deepwood Memories.

Team 3 -
Nefer - Night of the Sky Unveiling,
Lauma - Silken Moon's Serenade,
Columbina - Aubade of Morningstar & Moon (with Sig weapon R1),
Ineffa - Aubade of Morningstar & Moon (with Sig weapon R1).

Team 4 (future planning) -
Zibai - Night of the Sky Unveiling,
Columbina - Aubade of Morningstar & Moon (with Sig weapon R1),
Illuga - Silken Moon's Serenade,
Flex unit #4/TBC.

Wynvol2026-01-21 05:56

I don't think having a character without Deepwood Memories is the play on any Nefer team. I would put bina/ineffa on Deepwood in team 3 (test their off-field DPS in the MW DPS check and put it on the weaker one).

EDIT: Upon reflection it is likely best to put Bina on Silken Moon's Serenade as her ER requirements in single hydro teams are high and then having Lauma take Deepwood Memories.

[Columbina] and [Ineffa]

Hello! I have never posted before but I’ve been wanting some advice on my team. I just got Columbina and Ineffa and I am soo happy I now can create my Flins team with them. My team will be Flins, Columbina, Ineffa, and Sucrose. I have Flins built already and I am working on the others right now. I’ve been seeing a lot of mixed information on which artifact sets to use for both Columbina and Ineffa. I want Ineffa to boost Flins and also do some damage herself. I also don’t know which specific artifact substats and main stats I should focus on for my team specifically. All my 5 stars are C0 so I don’t have any special stuff from that. Any advice would be helpful :) I just want to make the best team I can with what I have.

Wynvol2026-01-21 05:52

Ineffa: Aubade of Morningstar and Moon
Columbina: Silken Moon's Serenade

cym1042026-01-21 06:48

\[Columbina\] and \[Ineffa\]

Do I try my luck with the weapon banner or invest in Colombina / Ineffa cons?

I got \~470 pulls in stock, and would like to be able to save 160 pulls (preferably 320) to guarantee both Nicole and Sandrone.

I'm not planning to pull for anyone else for now.

Wynvol2026-01-21 06:54

Columbina and Ineffa are apart of some of the strongest teams in the game. Further their weapons don't tend to lead to huge team damage increases as they are sub DPS. Unless you want to wheelchair incredibly weak units or use them as main DPS, I would skip the weapons.

cym1042026-01-21 07:22

so what's the value of their cons now that i already have them both at c0?

Wynvol2026-01-21 11:17

It varies a bit depending on the team you use them in. Let's look at a Flins team:

Flins, Ineffa, Columbina, Sucrose

Flins' C1 increases the team's base damage by \~12% (basically the same as his R1 over a Death Match option but very slightly higher). His C2 is an increase of \~31% over the team's base damage.

Ineffa's C1 increase the team's base damage by around \~12% (less than her weapon over Death Match). Then her C2 is buffs by \~20%.

Columbina's C1 increases around \~6% (Not good at all but still higher than her weapon over Fav). Columbina has a great C2 and bumps the team damage up by \~26% over the base team damage.

This is their best case scenario outside of a wheelchair as Flins has an unusually low amount of team damage for a main DPS (at least compared to a hyper carry like Mavuika). Yet he still virtually matches or outpaces cons/weapons on Ineffa/Bina depending on the level of investment.

TLDR:
Ineffa has an okay C1. Columbina has a decent C2. The relative value of these grow if they are the main DPS or if your main DPS is bad.\*

Material-Bison14142026-01-21 11:25

I don't know who to put in the team with Columbine. Team: Flins, Columbina, Fischl. I choose between Jahoda and Sucrose, Who is better to take?

ok_gone53652026-01-21 12:40

Need help team building for so, I'm stuck between xq (c3) /aino (c1) / Barbara (c5) for nefer team w/lauma, who's best here?

goodnjght2026-01-21 12:44

[columbina] [ineffa]

i just got columbina and i need a team for her, do i get ineffa and save for flins OR do i get zibai (i have her premium already)? which will help me most in endgame?

_cirrus122026-01-21 13:12

I was planning on pulling Xingqiu from lantern rite to build a xingqiu/bennet/sucrose/gaming team to be a 2nd spiral abyss team..

buttttt i just got him from a wish

I have gaming C5 from pulling for chev last wishing event, so whose constellation should i nab during lantern rite?

Asiancurrypuff2026-01-21 14:31

\[Columbina\]
**I'm unsure how to build my team now with the addition of Columbina.**
I previously had Aino on 2p/2p Instructor and Zhongli on Silken Moon, but now Aino is no longer here and Columbina can more consistently proc Silken Moon, What does that leave Zhongli with? Does the new Aubade set work on him? The 4pc effect seems to push an off-field playstyle and he simply is there as a comfort pick for his shield.
Current Team: **Nefer** \- Night of the Sky, **Lauma** \- Deepwood, **Columbina** \- Silken Moon, **Zhongli** \- ???

Shot-Ad-52992026-01-21 14:59

[columbina][ineffa]

Got a standard weapon in weapon banner, now guaranteed with event one.
Should I pull signatures for Ineffa/Colombina (I have them both) now or wait for a signature for good old Neuvillette?
I will not pull Zibai, so losing my guaranteed event weapon for her one would be bad
(I already have Homa, standard legendary weapons, and new BP catalyst r1)

Current roster: https://imgur.com/a/Tz6M2h9

Hello!

Returning to Genshin after a very long break. Not sure who is still relevant but I got the latest banner units Columbina and Ineffa.

Was wondering if anyone can help me with team recommendations and who I should focus on raising right now.

Thanks!

kinhearted2026-01-21 15:38

Just got columbina and ineffa c1 + 2 ineffa signatures.
What should i get next if my current team is
Flins c0r0 ineffac1r1 columbina c0r0 and sucrose.
What const or sig should i pull next, should i give ineffa sig to flins or give him morax shield signature, should i keep pulling for columbina sig.
Should i build jagoda instead of sucrose

Intelligent-Solid7062026-01-21 17:08

As a 1.0 player - I think Columbina is fascinating because it gives me a chance to revisit some old characters. Not sure if anyone has put together a good guide yet,but i'm curious if Columbina added to any older meta teams has changed anything up?

I was pretty happy with Bina/Lauma/Raiden/Ineffa when I tested it out and I know other EM related electro/dendro combos may stand to gain as well.

I also think the idea of Chasca flying around in storm clouds and zapping people is funny as well since she suffers on more than a few targets. Or Navia etc?

kinhearted2026-01-21 17:40

Im sure she isnt furina and adds very little to old teams. Her best thing is "wheelchair", you can put her with ineffa in any team and make it strong. But it doesnt make old chars any better or more useable. Wanderer in his new best team wears favonius and anemo support set, and doesnt rely on his kit at all. But she gives a lot to new nod krai chars. Old chars like raiden are kinda doomed i think and she would feel better as em vegetation char in lauma team.
Chasca cool yeah

Happy_Impression_1562026-01-21 18:21

[Nefer]

I’m really interested in pulling C0R1 Nefer when she reruns. I was wondering how cope is vertically investing into Nefer if I don’t really want to pull/dont have Lauma? Like stopping at C2R1 Nefer?

I have C0R0 Columbina, C0R1 Nahida, C0R0 Ineffa, C6 Sucrose, C0R0 Zhongli. These are some of the characters I own that I could use with Nefer but I’m not sure. Thoughts?
