Daily Questions Megathread (January 17, 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.

Is there anything wrong with the constellation weekly goals progress? It’s stuck at 2/5 but I’ve completed the goals every day of the week. Am I missing something?

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-17 10:24

Used your resin?

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-17 10:26

Yes. You don't spend your Resin.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-17 10:42

You've definitely missed something, probably resin. (99% of times it's resin).

Top left in adventure handbook shows the daily task list, check it before logging out. Ideally you would've noticed this 3 days ago, so you could've still done whatever you were missing that day.

It's too late to fix for this week, hopefully you have enough weeks left.

Boner_Elemental2026-01-17 10:08

Dottore fight spoiler question:

>!Hooow did Varka and Arlecchino bring down the Frost moon? Was that part of the plan and I just missed it? I can kind of understand her nebulous moon powers, but how is he using the wind to grab something from space?!<

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-17 10:24

>!I recall then being kinda vague on the specifics, but I believe this was the result of the favor the Hexenzirkel owed him that he cashed in on. Nicole gave him and Arlecchino the ability to do that.!<

Boner_Elemental2026-01-17 10:25

Oh yeah, nothing ever really came of that other than the golden energy around their base. I'll take it, thanks

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-17 10:26

>!Nicole!<

KyrrithK2026-01-17 11:08

>!I figured it was similar to what happened at the start of Act 6, with Nicole channeling Kuuvahki through them from the soil of Nod Krai. Only reason Varka was sick when he was tested the first time is because she overloaded him with 6x the amount, but it seems he was good enough to do it all along.!<

Lordmaster3162026-01-17 10:12

Is C0 Jahoda worth leveling her Skill and Ultimate to max?
Or what level of Skill and Ultimate to stop?

RosalinaCZ2026-01-17 10:12

Should I pull Columbina? I am not looking for any epic meta, but still want her to be good on my account

I have all standart 5stars, 4stars, and these are my limited 5stars of the element that can trigger lunar reaction:

Neuvilette, Childe, Raiden, Itto, Xilonen

I have basically no bloom team, no lunar team, and kinda mid electro charged and geo teams. I thought Columbina could help with that. I currently don't have any nod krai 5stars, but will pull Lauma most likely.

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-17 10:22

You can make her work if you intend to pull Lauma too, although I don't think a Columbina/Lauma team really cares about any of those units.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 10:25

Columbina Lauma would have Columbina preferably on field for a decent lunar bloom team,
and you can add some off field dendro like DMC and a second hydro
you wouldnt actually add any electro there

RosalinaCZ2026-01-17 11:50

Thank you! Tho I meant more like, is she a good like versatile unit if I lack lunar, dendro and geo teams?

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-17 11:51

No not at all lol. Without a lunar team she's just a subdps. She needs at least one other moonsign unit to function well at her role.

RosalinaCZ2026-01-17 11:52

Thank you!

liveleakvi2026-01-17 10:14

HOW THE FUCK DO I GET OUT OF A WAVE RIDER

Boner_Elemental2026-01-17 10:21

Hold jump, you'll fly up on your glider

Idli_Is_Boring2026-01-17 10:17

I was doing the quest Dune Entombed Part 1 and in it Jhet says - It looks like the lights I saw when Matriarch Babel was emerging from Azariq's tent.

Does this mean they were smashing?

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-17 10:26

What's funny about this question is that there's a letter you can read later that states that >!one of Azariq's goals was to marry Jeht as a means of having control over her!<.

beautheschmo2026-01-17 10:40

Very heavily implied yes

Also if you use Nahida's mind reading on him after that scene he says that his back hurts lol.

tempoltone2026-01-17 10:18

How do I get the treasure near the khuuvaki beast and bulletin board?

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-17 10:23

Like the board says: bring another sheep

Forward_Cheesecake722026-01-17 10:24

how do i build chars like zhongli , xilonen if i want to use them as lunar crystalize dps ?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 10:28

as usual?
Xilonen even if make her become a dps, wants Def anyway you just add more crit. you do want a third teammate thats not PHEC for dps mode
Zhongli, not worth focusing on def much instead of improving his shield

Forward_Cheesecake722026-01-17 10:34

how about artifact, what set should i use for them , iirc cinder city dmg bonus does not benefit lunar

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 10:44

pick between Natlan or Nod Krai dps sets. pretty much.

Jkei2026-01-17 11:35

EM/crit. But really, you don't. The reaction itself is just not that strong; it's no hyperbloom.

Aggressive-Lake49562026-01-17 10:41

How does the link returning travelers and log in work?? I have four people 'supporting' my page and only one has 'linked and logged in', another is a friend and I saw him online yesterday but it didn't count as linked and logged in?

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-17 11:42

Returning travelers are specifically players that weren't active recently. I'd guess 3 of them were already active players, so only gave the normal support (and not the 'returning' bonus.)

SorrogWaltz2026-01-17 10:42

Hello, I need help for the monsters on chamber 12-3 first half: the wiki says that you need to return to full hp in order to clense and get a dmg buff, but..who exactly needs to furfill your condition? Your active character?

(Is this why Neuvillette is supposed to be in the first side? Since he automatically heals and gets the buff without struggling?)

Or every single member of your team has to be healed fully (So you need Jean or someone else that I do not remember)

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 10:49

Will cause all characters tolose HP based on Max HP, DMG dealt-10%, incoming heal-10%, Crit Rate-10%.
• When each characterheals to Max HP, their debuffs will be removed, and their Crit Rate+15%, DMG dealt+50%.
so ya whole team

SorrogWaltz2026-01-17 10:52

Ah I must have missed that "each"..ok, Jea/gotta double check it is then, thank you.

Significant_Mode69692026-01-17 11:00

do i have to do the fontaine or sumeru archon quests to be able to do natlan archon quest bc i wanna unlock natlan weekly boss early!

KyrrithK2026-01-17 11:04

You can do the weekly bosses from your Adventurer Handbook, whether you've unlocked them or not

SynergousSerenade2026-01-17 11:09

Does Zhongli's build change if I'm using him to Lunar Crystallize?

Like does he use EM/EM/crit?

Luneward2026-01-17 11:53

What is your lunar crystallize team? Lunar-Crystallize is like Lunar-Charged. Only the top two characters that contribute to the reaction are a meaningful part of the damage - every other character only adds 1/12th of their potential.

If you're doing something like Zibai/Aino or Zibai/Columbina, then he is a negligible part of the team. If you're doing something without Zibai then Columbina would still be the primary contributer, and your on field geo would probably be adding more than Zhongli, so I don't see a lot of value in trying to min/max him for the reaction.

SynergousSerenade2026-01-17 11:55

It'll be Zibai/Columbina and hopefully Illuga if I can get him. Thanks though, I'll keep him on triple HP then.

Luneward2026-01-17 11:59

Oh, yeah. Definitely no reason to do anything fancy with him then. Especially given the incidental LC reaction damage is a very small part of it. Most of that team's damage would be either raw geo damage or LC talent damage from Zibai.

monyequest2026-01-17 11:25

Hi! So this is my roster rn and I was wondering the best team I could put Columbina on [https://imgur.com/a/Rfj8rtx](https://imgur.com/a/Rfj8rtx)

And what artifacts for each?

Columbina is C0R1

Lauma is C1 Etherlight and I have her on a very decent SMS set so it would be ideal if I could keep her built like thant

thanks! I'm currently not planning on pulling for Nefer, Zibai or Flins

gia-2026-01-17 11:36

Columbina (Night Sky) / Lauma (SMS) / Aino (Deepwood+Favonius) / Ineffa (Morningstar)

Other options are Sucrose/Nahida/Kuki/Jahoda(C6).

Luneward2026-01-17 11:41

Columbina/Ineffa is the core of the game's current strongest wheelchair comp - basically you can put them on a team and any field carry team will manage to hit 100k damage. SMS on Columbina and the new off field damage set on Ineffa.

That said, if you want to use them more actively, Columbina is a respectable field carry with Lauma along. You could do something like Columbina/Lauma/Ineffa/Flex (Sucrose probably?) and it would be competitive at least with most NK teams that don't run Columbina. On that team it would by Sky on Columbina. Silken on one character (Lauma if that is your prefrence). Off field damage on Ineffa or a deepwood set. You flex slot can use Deepwood if you're not going to use Sucrose.

loadedhunter30032026-01-17 11:50

Is it recommended to do the exploration and meeting points for the new areas first or the new archon quest first, couldn't find it in quest overview

milkifann2026-01-17 11:51

I am currently sitting at 227/229 chests for the new area. The compass is not picking up anymore chests in the whole area, and I have done all the world quests. I thought the two chests from the Archon quest would count towards the total but they do not.

Was wondering if anyone knew if there were any undetected chests from this new area (like the ones in 6.0)? I dont really want to sit and follow chest videos to figure out the ones im missing but i may have to but just asking here first before i spend hours following a video.

Zelda-Lumine2026-01-17 11:55

I'm having trouble with Kazuha stage of event. The game doesn't help me at all. Only sais "3rd phase of standard attack", but that's not helping. I try all the time but game always sais it's wrong. With Eula and Noelle I had more help with getting the right moment.

gsbu2026-01-17 11:58

Which nod krai character has the best kit for non nod krai teams? As more updates come and bosses are not centered around lunar reactions anymore, which character would still remain usable?

Jondev12026-01-17 12:14

lauma or ineffa depending on what teams you like to play more.

frustrated-gamer1232026-01-17 12:00

I am missing some occuli in Fontaine (2) and Natlan (6). I have used the interactive map and checked all the markings there, and also used the Resonance Stones, but all I get is the message that all occuli have been collected from the areas. I am at my wits end, and I don't know what else to do..

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-17 12:02

Check every map, namely Remuria and the inside of the volcano. The stone only scans only the current map. Also range, check different waypoints.

Bigisaac182026-01-17 12:11

Hello, I'm sending a message here to ask if you think the banner with Bina and Innefa's weapons is worth it to pull on 'cause I don't have many ecos but I have the 2 caracters, and I don't want any other caracter coming out soon.

Thx you in advance ! (Sry for my bad english btw, I'm french..)

International_You_562026-01-17 12:14

No, Ineffa can use the nod krai craftable, and Bina proto amber or fav codex.

Bigisaac182026-01-17 12:50

Okok, thx you. I think I'm gonna eco so.

Galaxy_Boy52026-01-17 12:11

I have 34/35 lunoculi for lvl 8 so i'm missing one but the compass isn't showing me any more oculi. I think it's from 6.0 tho but i'm not sure. does any1 know of any lunoculus that isn't shown by the compass?

koo_kie_6662026-01-17 12:29

maybe this one?

RosalinaCZ2026-01-17 12:15

As someone with no nod krai 5stars, which characters should I prioritize pulling?

Columbina and Lauma
or Ineffa and Lauma?

I understand that having all three would be great, but I have plans to pull for more characters and am not sure whether I'll have enough primogems for all. I know that I don't have to play for meta, but I still wanna have some nice teams

International_You_562026-01-17 12:16

I'd go Ineffa and Lauma. Bina will likely get a rerun much sooner than the other two.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 12:32

no actual characters mentioned that you own?
Ineffa could be used with Aino if that helps

RosalinaCZ2026-01-17 13:05

Thanks, the 5stars of element that can trigger lunar reaction I own are neuvi, furina, childe, itto, raiden

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 13:08

Neuvillette already liked Ineffa since quite a while back

azmayeen012026-01-17 12:19

Bit of a loaded question incoming so if anyone has the time to help me out with my teams, I'd really appreciate it.

With the new Nod Krai units that have been released so far, I'm having a bit of a tough time deciding how to build certain characters. I'll mention which characters I use in teams with Nod Krai units with what builds they have (i.e. if they are built) and I hope someone can help me in sorting out artifact sets for the characters.

N.B: Most characters are C0R0 (unless cons or refinement mentioned)

Nod Krai Units

* Flins - SoSS - 4pc Night - 2k atk, 162 EM, 77.5 - 235.3 cr-cd, 126.6% ER
* Ineffa - SoSS - 4pc Gilded - 2k atk, 300 EM, 94 - 144 cr-cd, 133% ER
* Nefer - Reliquary - 4pc Night - 1.2k atk, 616 EM, 60 - 287 cr-cd
* Lauma - Etherlight - 4pc SM - 975 EM, 250% ER
* Aino C2 - Fav GS - 4pc SM - 217% ER
* Columbina - will have weapon soon, not built yet

Units I use in Nod Krai teams

* Nahida C2 - Floating - 4pc Deepwood, 832 EM, negligible cr-cd, ER
* Furina (only when Aino is on another team) - Splendor - 4pc Golden Troupe - 81-235 cr-cd, 150% ER
* Sucrose C6 - TTDS - VV - 606 EM

So, I'm pretty satisfied with my DPS characters and their respective builds, might minmax later but it's the supports that I'm having issues building.

I usually run Sucrose - Flins - Aino - Ineffa, Nefer - Furina - Nahida - Lauma so their current builds don't have overlapping sets but with the addition of Columbina and the upcoming Lunar Crystallize reactions, I'm confused as to how to build her. I heard she should build Aubade if there's someone already holding SM on the team, otherwise build SM. Now, I don't know which hydro character to replace in each team with Columbina plus I'm looking forward to getting Zibai so I might use her in the crystallize team too.

Any thoughts?

Also, assume I have other characters that might work in Nod Krai teams and I'd appreciate changes to any of the characters I've mentioned too.

KyrrithK2026-01-17 12:54

Honestly, for your teams you could just build the new set on Columbina, as long as you can sort out the ER requirements. Yeah, it's not optimal for the Flins team to lose Silken, but it's also not enough to really be an issue for one of the highest DPS teams in the game. And assuming you're getting Zibai+Illuga, Illuga hold Silken as long as he's C2, so Columbina runs Aubade in that team anyway.

Otherwise, just farm 2 sets. Silken for Flins, and for Nefer teams if you get 2pc EM/EM on Lauma instead of her Silken set, and Aubade for Zibai or Bina+Ineffa wheelchair teams, or Nefer teams if you cbf changing Lauma.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 12:55

put Columbina on SMS if you really put her on multiple teams
and Lauma(and Illuga later) can go for 2p 2p EM. btw you do need the ER to burst but im pretty sure you got too much ER on Lauma for being on the same team as Nefer anyway. even if not with Nefer, youd typically run with some other dendro anyway

its Ineffa that should go for Aubade

selena_raby_2026-01-17 12:21

Stereo sound vs Surround sound without headphones on iphone 13 pro max?

KazakiriKaoru2026-01-17 12:36

Currently, which characters benefit the most from level 100/100? Also, I need 3 Fortunas to get to level 100 right?

KyrrithK2026-01-17 12:49

Yes, you need 3. And it really just comes down to 'who does the most DPS'? Because the increase is pretty similar for all DPSs, so the higher their base lvl 90 DPS, the bigger the increase. And keep in mind that's personal DPS, not team DPS, so a Mavuika that deals 95% of the 130k team DPS will increase more than a Skirk that does 75% of the 130k team DPS, and more than a Neuvilette that does 40% of the 130k team DPS (with Bina+Ineffa+Lauma/Sucrose). But if your Top 0.01% C1R1 Hu Tao does the most damage on your account, that would make her the best option for you over a generic 'meta' pick.

Edit: Another factor is just playtime. If you get a Lvl 100 Skirk that you play once a month for endgame, you're getting maybe an extra 10 mil damage a month in 'value' from her Lvl 100. But if you're a Hu Tao main that plays her every day, even if she only has half the damage and gets half the value, you're using her like 20x as much so you're still getting 100 mil damage as 'value' from lvl 100. (Idk why I always pick Hu Tao as the example, she's just someone I know is popular)

The only exceptions are direct EM-scalers like Nefer and Lauma, because EM isn't increased by levelling to 100. And full supports generally just aren't worth level 100, because you don't get value from the DEF formula, just some raw stats.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-17 12:49

No comment on who benefits most, afaik they did 'fix' the scaling so it doesn't really make a significant difference, give it to whomever you like.

You do indeed need 3 Fortuna for lvl 100. It takes 1 to go to lvl 95, and another 2 to go from 95 to 100.

RealGiraffe60382026-01-17 12:41

Someone was able to find 47 blocks of 0? I found 37 and I got stuck because I couldn’t find more

Sheeplette2026-01-17 14:43

You need to remove blocks other than the 0 blocks for the harder ones. The number on the block tells you how many are needed for that row, so you'd have to use your logical reasoning skills to remove the rest.

RealGiraffe60382026-01-17 15:45

Now I got it thank you

Koalafiedz2026-01-17 12:44

isit better to reshape a 4 roll high crit value artifact or a 5 roll low crit value artifact?

Jondev12026-01-17 13:07

Did they both start with the same initial number of stats (i.e are they both 3 liners or both 4 liners)? If so then just go by whichever one has the lower total crit value. If not then reroll the 4 liner.

WhooooCares2026-01-17 13:35

5. Don’t reshape 4-liners. That’s goofy.

valias20122026-01-17 13:01

How do you activate crab enemies lunar energy in Nod Krai?

amdnim2026-01-17 13:11

So was the older goddess in the welkin moon image >!Canon, the older frost moon? The hair colour kinda matches, I guess?!<

KyrrithK2026-01-17 13:19

>!Pretty sure it just represented the fake moon of Teyvat, and now that the Frost Moon has replaced it we have Bina instead.!<

amdnim2026-01-17 13:46

>!thanks! The story said that the moon is real now, right? So fake sky, real moon? Is that not weird or did I miss something!<

KyrrithK2026-01-17 13:50

>!Yeah, it's extremely weird. Especially if you consider the scene at the end of the AQ doesn't have the red space we've seen outside the fake sky, which implies that the fake sky is big enough to include the orbit of the moon inside it. Not like a bubble over just the continent of Teyvat as some people thought previously.!<

amdnim2026-01-17 14:57

>!That confused me too, why would we be able to see teyvat and the space behind teyvat if there is a fake sky, and if the fake sky is that big, how did we shatter it in the natlan and the current AQ. Hopefully it becomes clearer, the story gets more and more confusing, but recently they've been doing better.!<

RoyaleAbsol2026-01-17 13:14

Okay, I'm sorry in advance, but just bear with me for a second.

I have Bina and her Weapon, but my only option for Lunar Damage is Lauma. I'm trying to configure a team for them, and I'm kinda struggling because I don't really know what role Bina is meant to play. I thought of putting Bina in a team with Lauma and maybe... Sucrose and Aino but that feels like a very scuffed team since my Aino is still C0. Would they still be useful teammates?

Also following on, does an On-Field Bina need more ER or HP? And in which cases would Bina benefit from Aubade, and is that set still worth farming if I only have Lauma?

Also, it's sort of a side question, but do we know yet how Bina fares as the On-Fielder in Nilou Bloom w/ Lauma? I have Lauma and Nahida in the same Bloom Team so from there it only takes Bina but I'm not sure how well she fares there.

bfogi2026-01-17 13:29

You can try hyperbloom with Kuki if you have her. Or burgeon with Thoma. Because Aino is basically a dead weight there.

On-field Bina catches more particles, so she needs less ER than the off-field variant. How much ER she needs depends on team composition and the weapons you're using (how many favs, if Bina is on Prototype Amber, etc.). But most likely, you will do fine with HP% Sands.

She does well in a bloom team with Lauma, Nilou, and Nahida. If you're curious, you can check [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhUot0XhZ1M) for the teams that on-field Columbina works, and roughly how much DPS they do (comparatively to each other).

RoyaleAbsol2026-01-17 14:58

With Hyperbloom/Burgeon does Lauma still stay on SMS for Bina? Or does she switch over to Deepwood?

Gloomy_Ad_63662026-01-17 13:21

Hello everyone, recently i started from zero after taking quite a long break(played from 1.0 in 2020 all the way to Sumeru) and i'm a bit confused now. I feel like EXP gains are too high nowadays and it kinda ruins the pacing for me. I want to explore and do all of side content of current region before moving to the next one, but right before Inazuma i dinged AR 40 already. No artefacts, no weapons, no characters. Should i just stop for now and dump some of my fragile resin into artefact domains, explore without thinking about it too much or just do the main quest all the way till nod-krai and backtrack later?

KyrrithK2026-01-17 13:31

Yeah, they increased the EXP gains to help newer players 'catch up' faster. You shouldn't farm artifacts until AR45 where you get 5\* drops, but other stuff you should consider farming for sure. [This infographic](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/comments/qkxdj6/infographic_of_build_order_priority_based_on_wlar/) is a good guide for your main damage dealer(s), supports a bit lower priority. And yeah, ideally you'd want to pull at least one 5\* DPS to help you deal with enemies, but if you're not a fan of any of the current roster you do you, just invest in Lisa or Xiangling at least to have solid damage.

As for quests vs exploration, you do what you want. Natlan and Nod Krai especially in the story they give you trial characters a lot, so even if you have terrible builds you won't struggle with most main story quests, so don't feel like you 'have to do it before it gets too hard for you'. If anything, exploration and world quests are the ones that'll get harder as WL goes up, though as long as you follow the guide above and understand the basics of combat and team building, you really shouldn't struggle.

Ath_Trite2026-01-17 13:22

For this new abyss how should I build my team for the second half?

I have a C0 Ayato and C0 Keqing for dps

For hydro/electro supports I've got C0 Columbina, C2 Furina, C6 Fischl, C6 Kuki, C6 Xingqiu, C5 Barbara, C1 Aino, C1 Ororon and C0 Dahlia

General Suports I've got C0 Kazuha, C1 Xilonen, C1 Jean, C3 Sucrose and C0 Jahoda, at least those are the ones I don't think would end up working.

I'm also trying to get Ineffa, but my chances aren't looking good.

-mz-2026-01-17 13:25

I've seen people use Sucrose/Fischl/Aino/Columbina for second half, though their 4* have more cons than yours. Still worth a shot.

Ath_Trite2026-01-17 13:26

I'll try it, thanks :)

RealGiraffe60382026-01-17 13:35

HP circlet on Columbina won't be good?

KyrrithK2026-01-17 13:37

Not unless you just don't have a good Crit circlet at all, and can't use an off-piece. Crit > HP stats for Columbina.

RealGiraffe60382026-01-17 13:40

Okay ty

Special_Bedroom_98372026-01-17 13:37

If i ascend to world lvl 9, can i still reduce it to 7 or will lvl 8 be the lowest i can go then?

International_You_562026-01-17 13:41

You can only lower by one level so 8 will be the lowest.

KyrrithK2026-01-17 13:41

No, only -1 level

sprinkleofpizza2026-01-17 13:37

my horse manekina turns into another outfit when i use E, is there a setting for this or does it just do that 💀💀

KyrrithK2026-01-17 13:41

It's their passive, if you want to avoid that, you just have to not use any of the outfit plans/loadouts so it has nothing to swap to. As far as I know there's no option to pick.

sprinkleofpizza2026-01-17 14:05

oh do i just have to delete all plans to do this?

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:09

Yeah, their passive just swaps them to a random outfit plan when they skill or burst, so if you only have one plan that is equipped, nothing to swap to.

sprinkleofpizza2026-01-17 14:10

aw thanks sm 🩷

External_Durian27512026-01-17 13:57

I adore Columbina, and I have enough primos to get two five stars. I don’t have any other Nod Krai characters because I’m not crazy on Nefer or Flins, and I skipped Lauma and Ineffa to see how useful they’d actually be further into the region. So now my debate is - Ineffa or Zibai? I like Zibai’s design much better than Ineffa’s, so in a vacuum I’d pick her, but I’m wondering how good the supposed wheelchair of Columbina + Ineffa is for non Nod Krai DPSs. I’ve got Hu Tao and Cyno sitting on the bench, and they were both my mains for a really long time.

GuyStandingBehindYou2026-01-17 13:57

Just got Ineffa and building her
I usually run HuTao Double hydro with Zhongli, Hyperbloom with Raiden Nahida Kokomi Flex and Childe International. I need some newer teams.

This is my character roster right now (no Aino until I catchup with the story, dont want to quickstart)
[imgur.com/a/GxgVfTj](http://imgur.com/a/GxgVfTj)

What team comps can I use for this abyss rotation? Also any general teams using Ineffa? Teams that can use Xilonen? (Don't mind building any character I have not built yet)
I plan to get Furina and Lauma when they rerun.

TyronetheBone1902026-01-17 13:58

Would getting Ineffa be smart in the long run? I don't plan on getting Flins as I've heard he will be getting his rerun next patch and I wont have enough primos to guarantee his arrival. I also have plan on pulling for Nefer and Lauma once their banners return. I'd just like to know if Ineffa is worth it for future teams.

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:06

Ineffa in general isn't a bad pull, but also not 'necessary' at all. If you're pulling for Nefer and Lauma, you could consider Columbina now, or just save your pulls for them later. And even if you get those three, it's not like Ineffa will be useless to you, an Ineffa+Aino duo can still fit in a second team for Lunar / Electro shill well enough. But she's not really worth pulling for the 4th slot in the Nefer teams.

TyronetheBone1902026-01-17 14:22

I forgot to mention, I already have Columbina. Would that change anything?

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:27

Not really, I assumed as much. The only difference is it'll make Columbina more useful to you in the meantime until Nefer and/or Lauma rerun. But you can still have fun with Columbina outside of endgame in other teams if you're not only caring about endgame.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 14:07

i managed any lunar shill with Clorinde Furina before that. so no point getting Ineffa specifically with that in mind
noone can comment on usefulness for future teams. if you enable electro/lunar charge, shes basically an easier to use Fischl+ shield

AIias14312026-01-17 13:58

Rank these C1s:

Arlecchino - Skirk - Furina - Columbina

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:04

Rank by what?

Arle, Columbina, Skirk, Furina

AIias14312026-01-17 14:04

I mean just by how useful / valuable they are for the character

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:08

Then I stand by my ranking. Skirk C1 is probably higher in raw DPS increase, but it's just extra damage on a character that does fine already.

According-Future-9562026-01-17 14:16

When will Wanderer Rerun since he was in the sumeru chronicles recently ?

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:24

Nobody can say, likely in another Chronicled Wish banner, which could be 2 years away. But Shenhe did get a solo rerun after appearing on CW, so maybe it could happen sooner.

According-Future-9562026-01-17 14:32

T-T I started playing just after it ended, and having to wait years to get my favorite character is tragic lmao- At least i'll have time so save up i guess.

KyrrithK2026-01-17 14:35

Yeah. Just add it to the surveys, "let us pick a new character from To Temper Thyself", "give all new players a one-off selectable banner for any character they want", "give us more Chronicled Wish banners", etc. etc. Not much else to do besides that.

Luneward2026-01-17 15:26

Though the issue with that line of thought is she ran alongside Skirk, who benefitted directly from Shenhe's kit. As a carry, Wanderer doesn't really have that level of benefit. I suspect we won't see a mainline banner rerun anytime soon unless Sumeru characters get new synergy buffs that bring him back up to level (a la Hexerei).

KyrrithK2026-01-17 15:29

Yeah, I know. You didn't have to crush OP's hopes like that tho.

Also, if getting buffs was enough to warrant a rerun, where is my Klee banner?

According-Future-9562026-01-17 14:17

Will we ever get a Wanderer skin ? PLEASE HOYO YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I WOULD PAY FOR IT

JBGee32026-01-17 14:26

R1 Deathmatch or R5 Shovel for Ineffa?

alyssumsXX2026-01-17 14:29

In a Navia, Columbina, Furina and Zhongli team, what set is Columbina supposed to use and what main & sub stats should I use? Navia is on Marechaussee, Furina in Golden Troupe and Zhongli is on Tenacity

actually, another weird question, would it be okay to substitute zhongli with jahoda for the team bonus? if yes, what artifacts even to use

_Abstinence_2026-01-17 15:33

In teams with a nod krai DPS, Columbina would use Silken moon serenade. In most other teams (like your Navia team) she would be on Aubade of Morningstar And Moon (the new set)

>would it be okay to substitute zhongli with jahoda

Jahoda be necessary here. You currently have no healer for Furina, meaning after the first rotation you get no buffs and everyone stays half dead

Skug45692026-01-17 14:30

Does Lunar Reaction (and in fact, any other reaction) scale with level? if so, how much ?
Is there a difference for my nefer being level 70 or 80 ?

Kaemonarch2026-01-17 14:32

Nefer in particular doesn't benefit much of the levels themselves, other than gaining some HP and DEF that helps keeping her alive (specially in teams without a shielder nor healer).

This being said... You should definitively get her to Lv80... just so you can Ascend her towards 90; getting her last ascension upgrade, and access to Lv9 and Lv10 Talents. 80/90 is a fair stopping point for her.

Other characters, that relay on some specific reactions, DO benefit A LOT from those last 10 levels. I believe Kuki gets like a +30% damage on her habitual reaction (I keep forgetting all the dendro names) just form those last 10 levels.

KyrrithK2026-01-17 15:19

There are generally speaking 4 kinds of reactions; Transformative, Additive, Multiplicative, and now Direct Lunar damage kinda counts

Additive (Quicken) and Transformative (Bloom/HB/Burgeon, Overload, Electro-Charged, Lunar Charged thundercloud, etc) has a base value that scales with your level, so yes, level is important for these, and it means there's a specific 'cap' on how much damage they can do, so teams focused on their damage usually try to trigger more reactions rather than have high base damage.

Multiplicative (Melt, Vape) and Direct Lunar (Nefer CA, Flins Q, Ineffa passive, Bina E, Lauma hold E) get their base damage from your characters stats and talent values, so level doesn't scale it directly, but higher level means more stats (usually) and higher talent level caps.

Also worth noting that Additive and Multiplicative reaction damage is affected by enemy DEF, which is essentially calculated based on your level difference. If you and the enemy are the same level, the DEF multiplier halves your damage. If the enemy is higher level, your damage decreases further. Transformative ignores enemy DEF, because the base dmg already scales with level. Direct Lunar also ignores DEF, which is kinda the best of both worlds reaction-wise.

So for Nefer, because she deals EM scaling Direct Lunar-Bloom damage, she gains little from levelling up, because EM isn't increased every level, and she ignores DEF with most of her damage. BUT, she still gains EM from each ascension, and she still wants high Talent Levels for higher damage, so level 80/90 is the best place to stop for her damage-wise. Save 90/90 for other units, but 70/80 or even 80/80 is missing out on some damage.

Luneward2026-01-17 15:22

Nefer is probably the oddest field carry when it comes to stat scaling. ATK, HP, and DEF scaling carries all get benefits from going to 90 or 100. As an EM scaler her levels don't really matter - especially since she does primarily Lunar-bloom talent damage which ignores defense so level difference doesn't really matter either.

I echo what person below me said - get her to 80 ascension for her final ascension stat increase then you'll be fine.

floricel_1122026-01-17 14:30

So Illuga (the new geo boy) is actually playable during one of the new area quest, and he scales from both elemental mastery and defense, em being the higher multiplier. Is Shimenawa still the best set for him (with a potential em piece) or is there a better option for him?

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-17 14:35

With C2 he's the Silken Moon boy

Luneward2026-01-17 15:17

Give him a Silken set. If someone else is using that, probably best to give him an EM set. His personal modifiers don't matter - as a 4\* he does little damage and he gets roughly equal value from both EM and DEF. His quill buff to Geo characters, on the other hand depends on his EM. So full EM with enough ER to burst on cooldown is what he wants for his stats.

Ready-Ad-81302026-01-17 14:36

Should I pull columbina or ineffa?

my current dps characters:

c1 neuvillette Lv. 90

c0 varesa Lv.80

ive also got Furina, Fischl, Bennett, sucrose, chevreuse, xianling, xingqui, and kuki

notafurry92026-01-17 15:02

out of the two, ineffa. columbina isn't very good if you don't have other lunar-reaction focused characters

Koalafiedz2026-01-17 15:06

Does Skirk's Charged Attack trigger her burst's rift asorption bonus for NAs?

notafurry92026-01-17 15:06

_Abstinence_2026-01-17 15:20

No. You have to use her special burst

SleeplessSeas2026-01-17 15:13

Does the main character use their new outfit (if you choose it for them) when they pop up for dialogue (Adventurers guild, in-game dialogue cutscenes, events etc.)

I noticed my Lumine uses her old outfit despite picking her new one. I'm genuinely worried.

Pfactory2026-01-17 15:16

It's very inconsistent. While doing Nicole's meeting point quest they used the old outfit one scene then the new one the scene after. Only to use the old one again in another scene.

SleeplessSeas2026-01-17 15:17

Jeez, at least I hope it's an issue they're looking into and not something intentional (that they use the wrong outfit). This gives me hope, thank you so much lol.

_Abstinence_2026-01-17 15:19

Not in pre-rendered cutscenes, no

Admirable-Ad63342026-01-17 15:37

What set to prefarm for Zibai and Illuga?

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 15:39

the NK dps set, thats it

KyrrithK2026-01-17 15:40

Night Sky with DEF, and Silken with EM for Illuga while you're at it

Robertcc992026-01-17 15:47

Anmyone know if the Traveler is still unvoiced in Ode of Resurrection´s cutscene?

Luneward2026-01-17 15:52

To the best of my knowledge, yes. We're still missing their voices from all cutscenes (including Time and Space for You). I don't think they got any extra voices added this patch (don't know if Diluc was added to Paralogism this patch or last patch)

Skug45692026-01-17 15:51

How big of a diference is R5 Prototype Amber from R1 (Columbina)
I never get books in domains só I'm stuck with it...
And how does Blackcliff compares to Rainslasher for Mavuika in Furina teams ? (R1 Blackcliff - R3 Rainslasher

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-17 15:53

Blackcliff is really bad, just forget it exists. if you got one, its an unfortunate waste of glitter

Stamp2O2026-01-17 19:20

no difference

Chaewon012026-01-17 19:22

Ik but idk whether do it or not when I do pull. I just can’t decided

Dorky4442026-01-17 19:34

Do it. It feels more satisfying to me at least. Also I’m not tempted to spend my primos on resin

real_fake_cats2026-01-17 19:34

If it helps you decide, I convert all my primos to pulls, because it helps me more easilly tell how many pulls I have (without needing to do math).

If you like seeing bigger numbers for whatever dopamine trigger that gives you, then you could keep them as primos.

Just pick one. All of the reasons we can give you are cosmetic, and maybe OCD-related. Not functional. There is no "better" and "worse" choice, just whatever you prefer. The end result is the same either way.

pzlama3332026-01-17 19:41

There is no reason to do so. If you have pulls and you touch the Pull button accidently in the wish page (much easier to happen on mobile), you spend pulls immediately. If you have only primos, the game will ask a confirmation first.

Sidious_092026-01-17 19:21

ShadyofEgypt2026-01-17 19:36

In a Nefer, Lauma, Columbina and Kuki team, kuki holds instructor and is built for HP% since EM won't be useful for her right? And which sword should she have?

dragonx2542026-01-17 19:37

Yes, though you can also opt for min maxing and build her on ATK to maximize the ascendant gleam buff (do note: this is very min-max sort of stuff, and it's not going to make/break your team damage, so only do this if you're a real tryhard).

Sword can be whatever honestly. Key if you happen to have it. Otherwise you can use Favonius or just like any HP sword or EM sword.

fireflame_vs2026-01-17 19:41

Is it worth getting Columbina to replace Bennet here? It should decrease my Navia's skill dmg by \~30% (430K -> 300K). Team:

\- Navia (C0R1), Bennett, Furina (C0R1), Xilonen (C0 + Freedom Sworn)

I already have my eyes on Escoffier for Skrik, then Nefer and Lauma. I buy welkin only, have 190 wishes, and is currently at 50 pity with guarantee.

ibrahimaze2026-01-17 19:42

so i wanna run ineffa with raiden xilonen and furin, but is yelan better option instead of furina ? all c0 except c1 raiden, jade winged spear on ineffa and catch r5 on shogun should be ok right ? and for art set i can use new set since i am famring that domain already , also what could the rotation be ?

Mykki2026-01-17 19:43

Does a team with Columbina, Lauma and Ineffa work and if so what are a couple of good choices for main dps?

frostN0VA2026-01-17 19:51

That's basically the team for Columbina main DPS.

real_fake_cats2026-01-17 19:54

Yes, it does work. Haven't personally used it in endgame yet, but it's quite good for open world and weekly bosses.

This is considered a "wheelchair comp" so you can slot in whatever DPS you want. But if you want a bit more guidance than "bring anyone", then any hydro, dendro, or electro character will get you that elemental resonance. If you aren't doing the usual Nod Krai DPS, then Varessa and Chasca are your most notable options.

Alternatively, you can make Columbina the main DPS (switch her to a DPS artifact set!) and bring whatever support. In this team Nahida would be the standout choice, since everyone on that team can use her EM buff. But again, any hydro/electro/dendro is suitable.

merameragon2026-01-17 19:48

I've saved so much to prepare for Columbina's cons, but feels like her cons is not really game changing in anywhere?

Unfortunately I simply don't want Lauma nor Nefer. On the other hand, I have Flins but haven't pulled for Ineffa. Yet from what I read even Flins would appreciate Ineffa's vertical investment more than Columbina's. This discourages me from even going C2R1 with her, let alone going all the way. I am still reluctant to pull for Ineffa as well just to justify Columbina's investment.

But I am posting here hoping to be proven wrong. That Columbina's cons perhaps does matter and is still valuable in other team scenario. In short, I am currently just sad that I probably can't main her and build team around her even at a high cons C4-C6...

Nadi-newb2026-01-17 20:09

you'll very rarely see a recommendation to pull for cons.

Acadeca2026-01-17 21:48

Do Columbina's cons contribute to her being stronger in Flins teams? Yes. Is that the best use of your primogems if you want your Flins team to be stronger? No.

At c0 with no weapons and with ok builds you will be able to take down everything but the very hardest content that is usually scaled way above the paygrade. If you have c0 and don't care about being optimal or trying for the hardest possible content, then you can spend your primos how you want to have fun.

Key-Weekend6902026-01-17 19:52

ShadyofEgypt2026-01-17 20:14

Is the new artifact set (Aubade of Morningstar) really not the best for Columbina? In her Nefer Premium team I heard people say it's better off with Bina holding Silken Moon and Lauma 2 EM + 2 EM, I'm not sure about that though. In Zibai team people also say she can hold Silken and the 20% ER are too good to be missed out for Aubade of Morningstar..

[deleted]2026-01-17 20:20

[deleted]

ShadyofEgypt2026-01-17 20:29

Thanks. So, all in all, I should put off mining for Aubade and build Columbina with Silken Moon for now, right? Also, Lauma 2p2p source of increasing team damage so much comes from her burst's 400% EM lunar bloom damage increase, right?

Are there calcs where I can see the numbers for each build?

corallein2026-01-17 21:55

Yes. In optimal Nefer/Zibai teams she's better on a support set, like SM or Tenacity for Zibai.

In teams with Ineffa, Ineffa has more personal so she gets Aubade while Columbina gets SM.

International has not kept up in terms of total team damage in a sheet like others have. This is somewhat understood as the international team was built around being "flexible" enough to hit dps breakpoints and having lots of boosts from higher investment across the team. So while the team in a vacuum was not that strong, it was consistent at being adaptable to the situation and especially if you can abuse Xiangling's mechanics then it does great.

Most comparisons now are "standardized" at single target enemy with no aura/abnormal resistances/with specific amounts of rolls into your artifacts. Which does not benefit the team in this comparison as others. Additionally, there are teams that have specialized supports that thrive in their niche and when that niche is usable then the gap between generalist and niche gets wider.

Does anyone else’s maxing get stuck in the middle of 80% like I’m trying to 100% the new part of nod Krai but I’m stuck at like 83-86%

throwway852352026-01-17 20:29

You have to do the world quests. Lots of chests in Nicole's part and Favonius' part are locked behind world quests. I think you can 100% Illuga's part without doing his quest.

Grimstarzz2026-01-17 20:31

Is it normal that Columbina has her eyes closed in the character menu, the party select menu and during idles but has her eyes constantly open while playing in the open world?

real_fake_cats2026-01-17 21:02

No, her eyes should be closed in open world.

She does open her eyes for a period after using her burst, and during some idles, but if it's persistent sounds like it may be a bug.

Key-Weekend6902026-01-17 20:43

If anyone has 100% the new Nod-Krai regions, could you tell me how many primos you got out of it? I wanna know if I can save enough to pull for Zibai, I have 35 pulls rn and about 40% exploration in all 3 new areas. I’m also on a 50/50, which I do not have a good history with.

Thanks, though this probably concludes that I won’t have enough for Zibai considering my luck

Nadi-newb2026-01-17 21:00

yea, exploration alone doesn't give a lot..

Key-Weekend6902026-01-17 21:05

I could probably explore other regions though, tbh the first 3 Nod-Krai regions are the only regions I’ve 100% except Galesong Hill in Monstadt

Nadi-newb2026-01-17 21:10

Fontaine would be best. "the most casual region" said hoyo, and way less common chests vs. other regions

Does someone know why my lauma leaderboard doesn’t show on akasha cv? She does appear but I can’t see in which % she is, anyone has the same problem? My ineffa doesn’t appear either, and I removed some of my characters but they didn’t disappear on the site

nlopnlipa2026-01-17 20:53

Lauma or Ineffa don't have a board, that's why

Just_Wolf3992026-01-17 20:54

Oh okay, do you know why??

nlopnlipa2026-01-17 20:55

The dev simply hasn't added any, maybe because he doesn't have enough time, doesn't like them enough, not enough people want it etc. We don't have his exact reason afaik

Ayuda soy nuevo y subí a lvl 30 y con eso el mundo subió a nivel 3 , no tengo artefactos ni los personajes bien porque no tengo exp de personaje , fui a nod krai al evento que dan 400 protos por exploración y me partieron la madre , que debería hacer le bajo el nivel al mundo o arreglo mis personajes y vuelvo después?

Aquo1692026-01-17 21:03

Hi

Do not think about farming artifacts until lvl 45. Upgrade characters, weapons, reduce world level if needed.

JUSTpleaseSTOP2026-01-17 21:20

No need to specifically farm artifacts, but you should throw some basic 3 and 4 star artifacts on your characters and start leveling them to like 8 or 12. That alone will give you a pretty big upgrade even just focusing on their main stats. Don't worry about effects or Crit or anything like that for now.

Make sure your weapons are also leveled to somewhere around your character's level if not higher.

Put a few levels into their important talents.

Hello everybody
Council of wise players: I pray for your vast knowledge. I have returned recently into the game and I dont know anything about new zone (I dont have any NodKrai character). Should I pull for Columbina to build a lunar team or focus Furina C2 &/or Skrik/Escofier/Durin/Varka....?

Pity 56 and Columbina guaranteed (lost with Qiqi) + 136 wishes

Here my actual roster:

Constelations (no mention = C0): Neuv C1, Furina C1, Xilo C2, Nahida C2, Childe C2, Hutao C1, Mona C1, Qiqi C4 (Kill me)

Thank you

Cesarzowa2026-01-17 21:30

I had the same issue when returning at the time of Nod Krai after 1.5 years. The thing is, lunar reactions seem to be the new high meta, it soft blocked me in the abyss for a while. Couldn’t clear level 12 because I took too long, and I had a very decent team building since I was playing from the beginning. Columbina enables lunar reactions and I just feel like Genshin pushes us to pull for her because she will totally be useful.
I had NO 5 star lunar reactions type of character before her, and I got her and Ineffa. Mind you they are both not fully built and not high level (80 max), I cleared 12.3 abyss with 6 stars. So very decent and very nice gameplay !

I hope I managed to answer your query !

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-17 21:54

If you don't have any Nod-Krai characters then Ineffa is the better pull over Columbina and if you can get both that's even better. It can depend on if there are any Nod-Krai characters you're interested in pulling later tho. But, if you're more interested in Varka then you should save for him and focus on a team for him.

throwaway188982026-01-17 21:08

Im a returning player from 3.x(last character i remember releasing is Alhaitham) and i just want to know if raiden is still good or atleast decently usable? I have raiden vaporize, but also have yelan and yae miko(plus the standard ice girl from liyue) could I make a decent team from these? I came back for varka, and yes I am saddened by the dps :C

International_You_562026-01-17 21:15

If you like her sure, but a C2 Raiden is the same as a C0 Varesa nowadays. I wouldn't pick Raiden for the hardest endgame modes though.

Nadi-newb2026-01-17 21:16

hyper-bloom still works well with EM raiden. Add dendro and Xingqiu + Yelan

ShadyofEgypt2026-01-17 21:11

A few people recommended to me 2 pieces EM + 2 pieces EM Lauma, Silken Moon Bina (and Deepwood Nahida) as the best combination for a Nefer team. Could someone please provide me with a source/calcs for this combination being the best?

What is c0 columbina personal sub dps dmg looking like? Is it furina level or less

Acadeca2026-01-17 21:30

I have heard it called "around Yelan" in terms of damage but it will depend on the team and how many buffs she can take advantage of

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-17 21:42

You're missing one. There are some that don't show up with compass, usually quest related. Try looking up a guide for hidden lunoculus if you don't wanna check every location.

Key-Weekend6902026-01-17 21:34

So I just got Ineffa and Columbina and am wondering what weapons and artifact sets I should give them. Well not so much weapons, mostly artifacts. I think I will give Columbina a prototype amber and Ineffa a prospector’s shovel. The problem I’m having with the artifact sets is that some people say SMS for Columbina while others say the aubade set, and the same confusion for Ineffa between SMS and Aubade. Also would appreciate any good team comp recommendations. The characters I have built are Xingqiu, Bennett, Nahida, Neuvillette, Keqing, and Sucrose. As of now I’m thinking Columbina + Ineffa + Neuvillette + Sucrose

Excellent-Wrap-15182026-01-17 21:42

One person on team has to have SMS, but aubade is better for both. So the question is, whose damage is more worth buffing, and I think at c0 the answer is Ineffa.

Where can you view the traveler buffs in game after you received them? Don’t see them in the character or team menus.

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-17 21:58

It's under talents. The last talent will be for the current Traveler element and when you click view details it'll show you the other ones in that ring graphic.

PMC_Fatui__Group2026-01-17 21:54

I just got ineffa and i want to use her for floor 12, at what point would her stats be good enough to run it?

I've got he at lvl. 80, 2k atk, 70/110 crit and 150% eng (+1 electro in team). Just need to level talents a bit more.

Nadi-newb2026-01-17 21:58

do try and find out! stats are fine, talent levels don't affect the majority of her damage, leveling her to 90 is more important than talent level 6+

Jkei2026-01-17 21:59

Will probably be fine, especially seeing as the matchup caters to her.

BlckSm122026-01-17 21:54

Luna 4 story spoilers, my question is related to the story

So >!I don't understand one thing. What did they need the world formula for? I get that columbina's body became khuuvaki while her soul was trapped in the moon mirror realm (and she hid her authority on the moon ig). I know that they needed the lil guy as an anchor to bring her back but what exactly was the formula needed for? I don't understand that part!<

4everKoooool2026-01-18 04:07

Can get ~150k dps with c6r1 furina/c0r1 escoffier/c0r1 shenhe/c0r1 ayaka. If I get skirk c0r1 and swap with ayaka. What will the dps look like?

Beteljuse2026-01-18 06:33

Why are you using such a team when you have a C6 Furina? At C6 you play something like this: https://gcsim.app/db/fDQJMdJgtQrh

Remarkable-Sun72302026-01-18 04:10

What are the stat goals we should be looking for for Columbina in a Nefer team?

Acadeca2026-01-18 06:13

Probably over 35k hp, potentially 170ish or more recharge depending on weapon, crit with a slightly skewed crit damage focus on artifacts (rate ascension+passive+Lauma gives a lot of crit rate)

Far-Mode-67752026-01-18 04:14

my Columbina uses silken moon and ineffa uses the new set. However my Lauma also uses silken and tbh idk what to change it to. I don’t even have Nefer and I only use Lauma for hyperbloom or when I use all 3 lunar supports together for a wheelchair

Should i change her artifact set or keep her on silken

Pfactory2026-01-18 04:25

Use Deepwood.

Beteljuse2026-01-18 06:28

Look, it depends on the team. If you play Columbina/Luama/Ineffa without Nefer, then Columbina should be the on-field character. In this case, you put Columbina on the on-field set, the fourth member on deepwood, and them you either use 2pc/2pc 80 EM on Lauma and SMS on Ineffa, or Auberge on Ineffa and SMS on Lauma.

Nervous_Feedback8452026-01-18 05:16

Im sure its the 100th time you're reading this question, but I didn't want to initially get ineffa (only have columbina asa nodkrai 5 star character), im not gonna pull for lunar dps (i prefer generalist dps and dedicated supports), pretty sure there won't be many other lunar characters after zibai... so should i farm and pull for ineffa? just to get through the lunar-nodkrai shill plus i doubt a better electro/lunar charge team will show up in the soon foreseeable future; plus i want escofier who is overdue with her rerun, so likely next patch

tldr: should I farm and pull for ineffa? is she worth it? (just lost 50 50 to diluc after which i stopped pulling, should I continue?)

Acadeca2026-01-18 06:11

Wait to see if there are rumors of Esco actually coming, then before the banner switches make a more informed decision

TrueKingJahad2026-01-18 05:38

Hello i recently just came back to the game and my last five stars are raiden yae ayato navia venti(C2) albedo tignari and the other standard 5 stars. No nahida or other five stars after that. I want to actually do damage in the gams Should i go for nod krai charaters right now? Or just skip them nd wait for future charaters.

real_fake_cats2026-01-18 06:31

You don't specifically need to look at Nod Krai, but you could use some more recent characters, for sure.

The issue with Nod Krai units is they all kinda pair together, you generally want Columbina + Nod Krai DPS + Dedicated Support, and if you aren't getting at least 2 of the three the team doesn't really feel great. Of course if you get all 3, they can be some of the highest damage teams in the game. It depends on how deep you want to dive into Nod Krai.

Let's say you did want to go in on Nod Krai. On the current banner, you could pick up Columbina to pair with Navia for a pretty good Lunar Crystalize (new reaction) team. If you pull Columbina, then Ineffa becomes a great pickup (the two pair together extremely well). And if you have Columbina + Ineffa, then you may as well get Flins on his rerun.

If you prefer to wait, consider Varka, Alice, and Nicole, or a Durin rerun. They're all part of the Hexenzirkel faction, which have synergy with Albedo, Venti, and a couple of Mondstat 4 stars you probably have. Varka seems like a great way to make C2 Venti pay for itself.

There are other good options (Skirk + Escoffier, Mavuika + Citlali) depending on what you're looking for and what gameplay you enjoy.

----

If I were you I'd probably either pull Columbina for Navia, then pull for Varka, and reassess my next move after that.

But there's a lot of ways you could do this.

also, can anyone make possible teams with the characters i own? (not related to columbina

KyrrithK2026-01-18 06:27

You've got tons of characters already, you can afford to pick up someone 'unoptimal' if you just want them. And we have no info that Nicole will be coming immediately so you have time to save up again for her.

FinancialOriginal9492026-01-18 06:30

thank youu!! what about the rest of my question lol sorryy hehe. so should i just go for columbina??

KyrrithK2026-01-18 06:36

If you've wanted her for a while, just go for it. Even if you don't necessarily have a 'meta' team with her, it's not like you don't have other 5\* units that you can use to be meta instead. And fun > meta

As for other teams, you seem to have a good idea already. I find it hard to believe you've assembled that many premium teams without knowing what they are. If not, just pick a DPS, go to [keqingmains.com](http://keqingmains.com) and see their guide for details.

Your 'best' teams are probably the Kinich one highlighted and a Mav Citlali one, assuming all C0R0. Maybe move Bennett to Mav's team and play XL or Pyro Traveler or even Fischl instead with Kinich. I'd level up Chevreuse and Fischl to make an Overload team as well, whether it's for Arle, Lyney, Yae, Raiden, etc.

Haubaub_2026-01-18 07:04

Columbina is designed to buff/work Lunar reaction and you have none of the Nod-krai characters so she will be used to full potential, but since you already have a lot of characters you can still get her now and get another Nod-Krai character later on, Lauma for example is really good for your account

Here is some teams off my head but you will need to build Fischl and Chevreuse

Team1: Mavuika, Citlali, Xilonen, Iansan

Team2: Kinich, Bennett, Fischl, Durin

Team3: Neuvillette, Furina, Escoffier, Kazuha

Team4: Arlecchino, Chevreuse, Pyro MC, Yae Miko

you have other characters that can be helpful but you need to level them up like Sucrose, Mona, Ororon. There is also Jahoda and Aino who are not necessary but can help deal with the wild hunt enemies that get second white HP after you kill them

manipulat0r2026-01-18 08:21

If you wanted her for year, then get her. She is archon and enables lunar reactions. They are weak without dedicated DPS, but it still works. (Imo I managed to clear second side abyss with Columbina (not built yet), Aino, Fischl, Kuki; And first side Mavuika bmxc). You will find use for her, she won't be as strong with no other NK chars, but you don't exactly need them.

Foreign_Ad_74192026-01-18 06:35

How much crit rate does columbina need in a c0r1Nefer c0r0Lauma c0r1Columbina c0r0 nahida team?

She gets 15% from her passive but what about the 10% from lauma? Isnt that only for lunar bloom or can columbina utilize it too, does she only lunar bloom in that team?

Should I build her with 85% or 75% crit rate? Thanks

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-18 06:43

Yes, Lunar-Bloom is her main source of damage in this team.

Mande1baum2026-01-18 06:49

Use an optimizer and optimize for "Gravity Interference: Lunar-Bloom DMG". In Nefer teams, Columbina's damage is split between normal Hydro damage from her Skill every 4s as well as every 6s her Skill will trigger a special bonus Lunar-Bloom DMG 5x times if your main source of Lunar reactions was Lunar-Bloom.

Looking at my Columbina's numbers, the Skill itself deals about 8.4k DMG, so 2.1k DPS or so. Her Skill's bonus Lunar-Bloom deals about 32x5=160k DMG, so 26.7k DPS (assuming you are good about keeping Lauma's quill stacks topped off with Lauma's Hold E). Her Lunar-Bloom DMG is about 12x more, so it's wise to balance around that part of her DPS. So yes, you can consider you'll get Lauma's bonus 10%CR and 20%CD to Lunar-Bloom DMG.

Axel_Kjo2026-01-18 07:09

Hello. I'm a returning player that took a break since around 3.6. I'm currenly wrapping up Fontaine but still have many world quests to do and past events to watch on Youtube.

The thing is, I couldn't avoid pulling Varesa because in her trail I realized she can run like Sonic (automatic must-pull), and would really like her to be usable now since she's so good for exploration.

I just realized some waypoints are pre-unlocked in Natlan, but I'm one of those people who is really picky about the story experience 😅 so I'd like to know: if I use waypoints in regions I haven’t reached yet, could that affect any future dialogue or cutscenes in any way, or does it have no impact on the story at all?

KyrrithK2026-01-18 07:23

Natlan specifically has a mandatory quest you'll have to do when entering, because it introduces you to the regional exploration gimmick. You might also get forced into the first step of one of those follow-up quests when you enter the area with Varesa's materials, but not really more than a minute of that. Otherwise, you should be fine to ignore any other quests and just explore.

Alternatively, use coop to go to other people's world to collect the flowers and boss materials, that *should* prevent any quests from triggering. If you don't have good luck in open coop, join the discord and ask in the coop channels there.

Axel_Kjo2026-01-18 07:54

Thanks, that might be the best option

pzlama3332026-01-18 07:23

You will definitely encounter the starting of some world quests, but generally no impact for the main archon quest.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-18 07:23

first time entering Natlan, you automatically start a world quest that is very much required to explore the region. thats basically its own separate story from the main questline

Appropriate-Bar-39982026-01-18 07:13

1. Is there any good guides channels on youtube?
2. Are there any reliable websites or tools you recommend for leveling characters in Genshin Impact, like material planners, build guides, or farming routes?
3. As a low Adventure Rank player, what should I prioritize to progress efficiently?
4. should i buy welkin moon?

I’m asking because I saw a video where someone restarted their account because it was in a really bad state, and I’m not sure if that happens because of bad luck or because of bad earlygame decisions

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-18 07:22

the only bad early game decision is using primogems for standard banner

welkin moon might seem like a good idea. but be aware any days you dont play are entirely wasted

Acadeca2026-01-18 07:56

* there are a few different guide makers with varying degrees of accuracy, so shop around until you find one that you click with and one you don't and watch both of their coverage to see both sides. Generally though KQM is pretty reliable for guides https://keqingmains.com/
* I use seelie https://seelie.inmagi.com/characters but there are probably others
* https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/comments/qkxdj6/infographic_of_build_order_priority_based_on_wlar/
* if you don't mind 5 dollars, then it is the best "value" return for primos if you login every day.

Restarting an account to make it more meta is kinda whack imo. There will always be ways to bring an account back up and it will take a similar amount of time to get an account back up to end game farming and then get the characters they want and spend enough resources to get back to the point they left. As long as you don't delete stuff or be too impulsive you can always recover. I have even seen accounts that were stolen and deleted everything on them be able to return to strength with time

Appropriate-Bar-39982026-01-18 09:06

i love this answer tysm

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 09:43

1) For character guides please search YouTube for IWintoLose he's a really great guide maker, has good videos for everything.

2) Look inside the game! They've made huge improvements and tools for you to use from inside genshin. Open the main menu (where you can see your profile picture/card and you can see the mailbox), look for TRAINING GUIDE button. Then click button at very top that says MORE CHARACTERS, then the best part, you can choose from characters you own and then mark them as in training aka building and it will recommend you the weapons, gear, and ascension materials for character, weapon and talents, all super important information in one place to keep track and refer to. It gives you recommendations based on real players who are active so you can have up to date builds. PLEASE USE THIS, IT'S REALLY GREAT STUFF!

3) Explore, get chests, do puzzles, loot everything, use your energy every day or as often as you can on the blue and golden clouds (you get exp books, and money/mora). Do a rotation, do only blue clouds one day, do golden clouds only the next day. Do dungeons when you are lvl 40AR for gear. Do talent dungeon at maybe lvl 30-35? (sorry been too long since I did early game lol)

4) welkin moon - good for budget spending but only buy if u will login once every day to claim it. If you miss a day, or multiple days you lose those claims forever.

Anyone know how to get that Lunoculis like 1000ft in the air on the northwest edge of kipumaki cliff in the new Nod-krai region? Nothing tall enough around to jump off of that I've seen

HorribleDat2026-01-18 08:22

S1nack2026-01-18 07:48

I've linked my genshin account to an american psn account, now i can't go back to my eu genshin account. I wasn't aware that it would do that, i thought it would prompt me to pick my region before logging in.

Anyway, i've sent an email to support ( [support\_os@hoyoverse.com](mailto:support_os@hoyoverse.com) and [genshin\_cs@mihoyo.com](mailto:genshin_cs@mihoyo.com) ) on both outlook and gmail but i don't get an automatic reply back that they received my email. Can anyone help me or anything? I just want the unlink form from them so i can fill it up :/

Successful-Cream-2382026-01-18 08:03

I don't think there's an unlink form anymore. You do it yourself now by logging in at account.hoyoverse.com and then unlinking PS. You only get one unlink tho so if you've done this already you're probably out of luck even if support replies to you.

Also the region on PS is determined by the region of your PSN account, so you'll need an EU PSN if you want to play in the EU server for genshin.

Seal_Patience2026-01-18 07:55

Does anyone know what set Colombina uses, im planning on pulling for zibai and nefer soon

KyrrithK2026-01-18 08:02

Depends on the team, but for those two you could put her on Aubade, and have someone else on Silken. But there may be cases where Silken on her for more ER is more comfy than Aubade for personal damage.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-18 08:02

SMS mainly. definitely that if you plan to change teams you use her in
trying to fit Aubade on her is a struggle to get enough ER for a solo hydro character, and you end up with less HP or crit substats cause of it
goal is 35k hp and ER to burst, and whatever crit you can manage, so SMS ends up better.

Mande1baum2026-01-18 08:03

Depends on team, her role, and what others in team are wearing. Typically will be Silken Moon, Aubade, or even Night's Sky in mostly that order.

manipulat0r2026-01-18 08:12

She uses 3 sets, depenfing on team and conditions. With Lauma she uses Night sky, With Nefer+Lauma or Flins+Ineffa she use Serenade, as off-field she use Morningstar. If you pre-farming, the first domain is safer primogem sink with 2 sets.
>!For Zibai it probably goes Zibai (Night Sky), Illuga (Serenade), Columbina (Morningstar), Gorou/Zhongli/Xilonen (Instructor > Exile).!<

eydendib2026-01-18 08:18

Hello! Is keeping Ineffa on Tenacity much better than the new set if my Flins is C2R1? For reference, my Ineffa does about 20-25% of the team damage while my Flins does 55-60%. Thanks!

Outrageous_Curve_9632026-01-18 08:23

Columbina or Ineffa or Wait for Escoffier?

Who should I pull for on the banner rn? I have no nod-krai characters yet. I am a f2p-ish (only spent once) and all of my 5 stars are c0. I am guaranteed rn.

I really want to pull both but I am looking for a character that can boost my account on the long run. I also want to pull for escoff for skirk but there are no leaks about her rerun yet.

This is my character list:

Btw, I got all 4 stars

Alex_from_Solitude2026-01-18 08:47

I'd say Escoffier is more valuable for your account

Outrageous_Curve_9632026-01-18 08:55

Thanks bro

rdhight2026-01-18 08:54

I pulled Columbina as my first Nod-Krai 5-star and got immediate results. I used a Raiden-Columbina team to pass the Abyss second side that has lightkeeper, cacus, Knuckle Duckle. And she upgraded my Navia-Xilonen team a lot. All at C0 with a prototype amber and incomplete build.

I don't know mathematically that Columbina will do more for you than Ineffa, but I wouldn't trade if you offered me the choice. She's been an immediate boost.

Jkei2026-01-18 10:07

Obviously Columbina ticks the boxes on these bosses' shilling mechanics. So would Ineffa, and she is in fact a more powerful off fielder all around. The informed choice would be to trade them unless you planned to pull more lunar 5\*s in the future (other than Flins, whose teams Ineffa is still the bigger upgrade for).

rdhight2026-01-18 10:37

Ineffa is a strong meta choice, but I value the ability to turn on all lunar reactions. It's already been useful to run LC Navia, and it's only been 3 days.

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 09:20

Colombina will open access to you to create three new team types. Lunar charged (electro+hydro), Lunar Bloom (dendro+hydro), and Lunar Crystallize (geo+hydro).

So basically any character you own that is electro, dendro, or geo, plus Colombina equals Nod Krai team usable and a big part of thier damage gets turned into Lunar attacks.

So you want a big boost? Get Colombina.

(P.s. I own both her and Escoffier and they can work great together, Escoffier needs 2 hydro in her team plus 2 cryo)

_MuadDib_2026-01-18 09:30

They don't work great together, if you have a team with 2 hydro and 2 cryo. The Columbina kit is useless as there is no one to trigger lunar reaction. Sure you can still use her, but it's not great.

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 09:50

Doesn't matter that she doesn't trigger lunar reactions she's still hydro and has great hydro applications and she's still great and usable with any character.

Jkei2026-01-18 10:02

That's pretty cope. Her hydro application is nothing particularly special, and her personal damage is alright but noticeably below what Ineffa offers *without* dependencies. She is just not a compelling pull without other lunar 5\*s on your account.

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 10:27

That's your opinion which is fine but I disagree with your take. I think she's a very valuable character because she turns your characters into lunar enabled damage and her hydro pulses which I think is cool because it follows your character around and isn't circle impact, and I just think she's very fun overall. Ineffas totally different beast and is very good too (wish I could get her but not enough pulls so maybe some day..)

Jkei2026-01-18 12:37

It's all quantifiable and theorycrafters have done that thoroughly, not much opinion to it. Off field hydro without circle impact is neat, but the lunar enabling is a nothingburger outside of satisfying the gimmicks of a few recent bosses. And unless you're onfielding her, she plays exactly the same as Ineffa and 90% of other off fielders in the game -- swap in, E Q, swap out.

This isn't to say she's a bad character by any stretch. What you're describing is just not playing to her main strength, which is unfortunately restricted to Nod Krai 5\* teams with mostly direct lunar damage.

_MuadDib_2026-01-18 15:42

Usable yes, great not. If you want great hydro that works with Escoffier in 2 cryo 2 hydro comp Furina is much better pull, as she provides same thing as Columbina in that team and more. She actually have synergy with Escoffier who will stack her fan fair points and so she will buff the DPS unlike Columbina who will in that team do only hydro application and personal damage.

That she's not great in that composition doesn't make her a bad pull. Her strength is in lunar teams where she provide a huge value.

icemoomoo2026-01-18 09:52

Escoffier makes your existing characters stronger, Columbina/Ineffa would gives you access to Lunar reactions that will be in the Abyss/SO for a while.

Make a choice according on what you want to achive.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-18 10:23

Depends on your pull count. Since you want Escoffier and have some important use for her, I'd prioritize having 180 ready for Escoffier whenever she does appear. If she were to appear in 6.4 first half, would you be able to guarantee her if you spend the guarantee now? If no, I would save it.

OrganicApplication572026-01-18 08:50

>! Can anyone explain how Columbina's soul was reunited with her body and authority in the AQ since we know her body turned into moonlight and is all over nod krai and her trilune authority is within the frost moon which was dragged into the false sky meaning her body and authority is connected but since her soul is IN the moon's reflection how did her soul get out of the moon's reflection and reunited with her body and authority they didn't open a gate to let her soul out so how did her soul reunite with her body and authority? !<

crowcrown2026-01-18 09:02

>!Luonnotar was carrying her soul, or at least a part of it. So when the frost moon came back into Teyvat, soul (luonnotar) + body (Nod-Krai) + authority (frost moon) were all in the same plane and able to be merged again.!<

icemoomoo2026-01-18 09:49

the how is what Sandrone was working on.

Desperate_Ice_Cream2026-01-18 09:25

is it possible to fight the new weekly boss without getting exopse to major spoiler

real_fake_cats2026-01-18 09:30

Not really. You could do it without doing the most recent story (6.3) and probably be OK, but it definitely spoils the 6.2 story.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-18 09:35

well the spoiler is pretty much what the boss is
and what it can do
would the real fight have scenes in between? that you could avoid with coop

real_fake_cats2026-01-18 09:48

Just checked and surprisingly no, doesn't look like there's any cutscenes mid-fight.

Joe_from_ungvar2026-01-18 09:50

well i only did it once in coop, and had no issues

so had no way to know if playing by yourself youd see cutscenes

Desperate_Ice_Cream2026-01-18 09:40

what if i change the language so I don't know the dialogue and just spam kokomi heal in multiplayer, would that work. Does the visual (beside cutscene) show that much spoiler

real_fake_cats2026-01-18 09:54

Unfortunately the main spoiler is the visuals of the fight.

Desperate_Ice_Cream2026-01-18 10:11

i just try it if anyone curious you can definitely avoid spoiler if you kill him fast enough. My coop team was columbina, nefer, nahida and kokomi (me)
I avoid spoiler by blinking my eye quickly so i barely recognize what's happening. I also keep following my teammate incase of those insta kill move and dodge the obvious atk (like the purple lightning)

asianbrownguy2026-01-18 09:41

I'm set up for 100% on capturing radiance now, right? [img](https://imgur.com/a/ZMcXZeD)

pzlama3332026-01-18 09:42

Yes, your next is guaranteed to trigger capturing radiance.

Edit: assume your first lose to Jean happened after 5.0

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 09:45

Sorry just curious how do u know u will trigger radiance?

TehEpicGuy1012026-01-18 09:48

When you lose a 50/50, it adds a point to a hidden counter (which gets reset if you win a 50/50). When this counter reaches 2, you have an unknown *chance* of triggering CR on your next 50/50. And if it hits 3, then you're *guaranteed* to trigger it on your next 50/50.

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 10:02

Thanks, I wish we could see the counter for this, it'd be extremely helpful.

So I lost 50/50, but then guarantee and got Bina.
So am I at counter 1 or did it reset to zero?

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-18 10:20

Your wording is a bit ambiguous; was Columbina the guarantee, or did you get some other character guaranteed and then a win on Columbina?

Assuming Columbina was the guarantee, your counter would be at +1 from whatever it was before the loss. If Columbina was a (separate) win, your counter would be back at whatever it was previously.

Would need to know your pull history (back to either 5.0, last Radiance, or last 50/50 win streak) to know for sure what your counter is at.

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 13:12

- Won 50/50 on Furina (march 2025)
- Won 50/50 on Escoffier
- Won 50/50 on Flins (2025)
- Lost 50/50 on Colombina to Tighnari
- Kept pulling and got Colombina

That was my first time winning that many 50/50s back to back.

PhyrexianRogue2026-01-18 13:21

Ok, counter is at 1 then. Wins reduced it to 0, then up to 1 from the loss, and now still at 1. Guaranteed pulls don't affect the counter.

For comparison, I'm currently at 2; 5.0 set me on 1, then I lost on Mavuika (2), lost on Xianyun (3), Got (guaranteed) radiance on Lauma (1), and now got another loss on Columbina (2).

(Side note: Impressive that you already managed to pull Flins from his 2026 banner, most people only got him from 6.0 back in 2025. :P)

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 13:26

Oops fixed flins release date. My concept of time is so whack lately.

pzlama3332026-01-18 09:49

Three 50/50 loses in a row is officially announced to be guaranteed to trigger capturing radiance.

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-18 09:49

Radiance has a small chance to trigger after a lost 50/50, and after 3 lost 50/50s, your next loss is 100% guaranteed to trigger radiance

SynergousSerenade2026-01-18 09:45

So I've found the traveling merchant that sells local specialties in 3 different locations.

Also fed a Ratnik some mushroom bread.

Are there anymore mini quests like these?

hairy-babushka2026-01-18 09:46

Hi guys. I wished for columbina and got her and mizuki at the same time. Does this mean i lost my 50/50 on the zibai banner? Meaning, is my next 5star guaranteed?

TechnicallyHankHill2026-01-18 09:48

Check your wish history to see the exact order you got them in. If Columbina is before Mizuki then yes, you'll have a guarantee for the Zibai banner

hairy-babushka2026-01-18 10:04

Oh Oki thank you! I got columbina before mizuki 😄

rdhight2026-01-18 09:48

Look on your history and see which you got second. That controls whether you have a guarantee.

Lauma - dont have, intend C1 with SMS and Luna 1 event weapon

Cordaz_2026-01-18 10:00

In a team with Nefer, Lauma, Columbina and Kuki what artifact set is the best for everyone?

Currently i have:

Nefer: Nigh of the sky's unveiling

Lauma: Deepwood Memories

Columbina: Silken Moon's Serenade

Kuki: Flower of paradise lost

I'm currentrly farming Aubade of morningstar and moon for Columbina. Once I have a good set can i simpli give Kuki the silken moon's serenade? Does kuki triggers it?

Plus i'm tring to pull Ineffa if that happens her new best set is Aubade of morningstar and moon right? so i just give that to her and leave Columbina with Silken moon's serenade

KyrrithK2026-01-18 10:09

Technically, the optimal layout is 2pc EM/EM on Lauma, Silken on Columbina, and Deepwood on Kuki, because Lauma's burst makes up a lot of the team's damage, so going all in on EM is generally best.

Otherwise, you CAN go Columbina on Aubade, Lauma on Deepwood or Silken, and Kuki on the other of the two. If Bina has sig or cons, Aubade gets noticeably better.

It also depends on what other team you're using Bina in. If it's just the Bina+Ineffa wheelchair, then both can be on Aubade just fine, since Aubade's personal buff is better than Silken's team buff. But if you have Flins too, then buffing him with Silken is better, and Bina does less DPS than Ineffa in those teams so she's the one to swap to Silken.

Cordaz_2026-01-18 10:13

For now I only have that team I don't have Flins nor Ineffa right now. But I have signature on Bina. So I guess I will go for the second option once I have a good Aubade set.

I already have over a 1000 em on Lauma right now with deepwood I don't know how much increase you get going even harder on em on her

EconomyFalcon11702026-01-18 10:13

I think you could put deepwood on kuki, give lauma silken moon for support/sub dps, and farm Aubade Morningstar for Colombina for dps/subdps with Nefer. So this would be more dual dps.

If you'd rather keep Bina as offield keep silken moon on her, kuki can still use deepwood, lauma can use gilded dreams, nefer night of the sky.
