Haha, yeah, probably will try to do that as well, but it really depends on how much I can save until the rerun tbh

Her normal attack talent should have been a priority over her skill for a DPS build but that's a matter of time anyway
She could use more ER and HP. Since you don't need much crit rate with this build you should be able to reach 170% ER and over 40k HP easily while keeping a similar CDMG as now (don't hesitate to lower that CDG a bit if needed though, remember your weapon gives you an extra 60% for lunar damage).
If you use her as a DPS I assume you have Lauma in her team (otherwise you're going to be lacking damage). If so, remember she also provides you with crit rate. You are already overcapping, between Lauma, the artefact set and Columbina's passive you will max out at 45% base iirc, most of which is obtained through your ascension stat anyway.

er isn't a priority at all for on-field columbina, 120-130% is already enough, and crit dmg better to be close to 300% with signature

Great! Thanks for the heads up
proxy19c2026-01-17 23:38
I see! 170% ER is assuming no other hydro in the team, right?
I've been running her in a somewhat deviant team with C6R1 Furina acting as a healer and opener, Fischl and C0 Ineffa. I do have Lauma on my main account (the first build with 280 CD), but haven't tried it yet, I haven't leveled her past 70 😅
Unfortunately, there is no Lauma on my secondary account (270 CD build, second image) but I've also been running her there with C6R1 Furina, C0 Ineffa and Fischl. I was thinking about getting either Lauma or Nefer once their banners are back, so I guess you already answered my other question regarding who should I pull for my second account Columbina, will start saving for Lauma then!
I actually didn't know that Lauma provides crit rate, I might be able to change the build then, was trying to find as many crits as possible tbh. While at it, what would be a good stopping point for HP?
DaSpood2026-01-17 23:46
HP goes as high as you can without sacrificing other stats
170% ER may be going overboard actually since on field she will catch most particles, other commenter is right.
Lauma is mainly useful because of her burst. Columbina's charged attacks don't hit for that hard by default, Lauma slaps an extra 25k+ on each Lunar Bloom hit if you build her properly, and Columbina does tons of small individual hits on her Lunar Bloom attacks. If you get her C1 she also doubles as a really strong healer.
I've been playing the new update with Bina/Ineffa/Lauma/Furina too, it hits like a truck even with Bina being built for off-field (so she gets 0 benefit from her artefact set). Ironically Furina doesn't get much field time overall, her 6 NAs waste too much time in the rotation that would be better spent doing Bina CA's lol, with a C1 Lauma you'd honestly be better off swapping her for Aino or someone else with effectively no uptime but useful buffs.

Oh, yeah, just noticed the ER comment, alright then, that's good to know. So basically Lauma for DPS Columbina is just like Escoffier for Skirk, actually maybe I'll try to build an offield Columbina until Lauma rerun (on my secondary account), hopefully it's not too soon, as it sounds like her C1 is really nice. I honestly didn't think that Lauma would even work, since I remember some people were saying as if she doesn't really want Nod-Krai characters on her team, which I suppose isn't true for the Columbina DPS team. Actually, Lauma was a very random pull on my main account, that's why I didn't really bother building her properly, but I already leveled her to 90 while we were talking and luckily I farmed too much for Columbina, so I also leveled her talents :D
Ngl, it really sucks that Furina doesn't really do much for the team, I tried coping with C6, but as you said it doesn't really feel right and takes a lot of onfield time :( I really like both Columbina and Furina, but will probably have to separate them for everything outside of overworld content, Furina C6 is so damn nice with her healing ngl, and I constantly have try to keep my team at full HP for whatever reason, mental issues I guess lmao
I think of maybe trying the Columbina Lauma Ineffa Yelan team on my main, Yelan is also offield, but I also have a pretty good Yae on that account too with C6, but I'm not sure if Yae totems would somehow interfere with Lauma or not 🤔
DaSpood2026-01-18 00:12
Lauma doesnt want other nod krai characters if she's trying to buff bloom and hyperbloom. When she released, other characters meant Ineffa and Aino mostly, and it was true that if you wanted a Nilou Bloom or Hyperbloom team, you'd benefit more from leaving her alone and letting blooms crit than from adding Aino or Ineffa to trigger/buff more lunar reactions.
Now that we have proper DPS options to pair her with, the alternative passive has a use. You'll benefit more from buffing Nefer/Bina's crit than from letting random blooms crit in these teams.
And yeah Furina is anti-combo with NK teams since her burst does not buff Lunar damage. She's still ok for her own damage but she doesn't synergize with the other characters. I still keep her around as a finisher and for overworld, hydro resonnance benefits Columbina at least.
With Yelan keep in mind she won't trigger coordinated attacks on charged attacks so she won't help Columbina much. And like Furina, her buff doesn't affect Lunar damage. If you want a second Hydro unit for resonnance, Aino may help more with her Lunar buffs.

Hmm, alrighty, I don't mind Aino at all, actually would be nice to finally put her to some use! Thank you for a clear explanation and your time!
