how strong is columbina at full power compared to archons or even neuvillette in lore?

Nuclear Bomb vs Coughing Baby.

What about nuclear baby vs coughing bomb?
NYCHReddit2026-01-20 01:54
Nuclear baby decays uncontrollably, bomb just coughs and wins without trying

Express-Bag-39352026-01-20 17:55
My dad's sneeze when sick would definitely.ne considered a nuclear cough.
Shadowhunter_152026-01-20 01:46
Technically, the coughing baby should always win, since the bomb has to destroy itself a fraction of a second before the baby can come to any harm.
SanicHegehag2026-01-20 01:47
The bomb can theoretically squash the baby without detonating if we're splitting hairs.
Saveonion2026-01-20 04:16
We're not splitting hairs, we're squashing babies
corecenite2026-01-20 00:51
Strong.
Krio_dim2026-01-20 00:53
Stronger than all of them
SaberWaifu2026-01-20 00:59
The trilunar authority is much stronger than any gnosis or dragon authority.
The 3 moons were assigned by Nibelung to rule the planet in his absence just like the Shades are now running it while HP is taking a nap. They basically had full admin powers, and Columbina at full power was definitely way higher than any dragon or archon.
vinchin_adenca2026-01-20 01:11
So she could go and kick tsaritsa ass for stealing her power
Falcomster2026-01-20 01:13
They're definitely doing something big with the Tsaritsa at this point with all this buildup
jibbycanoe2026-01-20 02:24
I would hope so lol. That being said, I can't wait for the inevitable crash out from a certain subset of the fandom around here since there's literally no way she will live up to expectations. I personally hope she's like a mix of Signora and Arle, but it would be funny if she was a loli and used Dottore on all fours as a bench to punish him. The melt down would de-ice all of Snezhnaya
JAntaresN2026-01-20 02:53
If she is an adult model, unlikely to be a waifu character.
But they will still cry about it cuz whether she is waifu or not, the moment she decides to be an ally of the traveler, which is already inevitable for plot sake, they’ll act like she got botched up.
TakeyoThissssssssss2026-01-20 03:26
I hope the Tsaritsa have a really good reason for doing whatever she doing. The Fatui have is still her even if it members have their own goal. She let them do all kind of weird and fucked up shit with no oversight.
SaberWaifu2026-01-20 01:16
In theory, yes. However from her dialogues in the story it doesn't seem like she was bothered by how the Tsarista used her power.
The Tsarista offered Columbina a place to stay and in exchange wanted to use her power. There was no stealing or forcing involved, just equivalent exchange.

>The Tsarista offered Columbina a place to stay and in exchange wanted to use her power
As a side note, we never found out what the final thing was that Columbina did for the Tsaritsa before she was allowed to leave. The thing that left her weakened.
I wonder if Bina brought down the moon remnants for her?
Ok-Put36852026-01-20 02:48
I was wondering about that, too.
Also, I may be stupid, buy why was Columbina under 'search and capture' when the Tsaritsa had allowed her to leave, and she paid a price for that right?
dushanthdanielray2026-01-20 02:52
It was mentioned towards the end of this latest AQ that the search and capture was something put out by Dottore.
caramel90popcorn2026-01-20 07:12
Yeah when Arlechinno mentioned that I was like, no wonder why no one cared abt capturing Bina except for Dottore lmao. It all adds up
lizzywbu2026-01-20 02:52
>Also, I may be stupid, buy why was Columbina under 'search and capture' when the Tsaritsa had allowed her to leave, and she paid a price for that right?
The Pale Star Edict? Yeah, I have absolutely no idea. It made zero sense to me. It was hand waved away in the last AQ, I think it was Sandrone who said it was Dotorre who orchestrated the search and capture of Bina. Which makes even less sense because it is explained in Luna 1 that the Pale Star Edict comes directly from the Tsaritsa.
_Carcinus_2026-01-20 03:09
I think it could be a Rasputin or Grima Wormtongue-kinda situation with Dottore influencing some of the Tsaritsa's actions and decrees. The Fatui Harbingers might be playing Councillor's role.
TheGungnirGuy2026-01-20 03:16
It's hinted that the Tsaritsa isn't exactly...Happy, that Columbina left. Based on the quote they put in Columbina's drip marketing.
Remember that Columbina doesn't really understand people, prior to the AQ. So her whole "Oh, we left on good terms." Might simply have been her misunderstanding a "So you wish to run away? Fine, get out" style message from the Tsaritsa. With that said, Dottore *did* bring back two Gnosi, so he may have been given preferential treatment in terms of being able to put out a hunt for Columbina, and with the Tsaritsa being as busy as she is plotting the death of the gods, she may have simply gone "You need harbingers? Sure. Just let me know when you get what you need." Before Arlecchino came up and went "Errr...You know he's actively causing problems, yes?"
People already learned the hard way that you can't use other characters to judge a character you haven't seen yet, given what Columbina herself turned into despite having three separate harbingers talking about how spooky she is. History may be repeating itself.
Draxus982026-01-20 04:18
The Pale Star Edict's primary objective was likely something else, and the "capture columbina" thing was just a secondary objective Dottore inserted in there. We don't know what the primary objective of Pale Star Edict was, but it was something important enough that "All harbingers must report to Nodkrai" for this order considered the highest of all orders. Most likely, it had something to do with the construction of the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau. Somewhere it's mentioned, the facility is some sort of weapon. I believe it was also mentioned that most of the edicts goals were achieved along with the harbingers having left Nodkrai already besides for Sandrone and Dottore staying behind to oversee the remaining process long before traveler arrived in Nodkrai. So all harbingers were in nodkrai at some point, finished their assigned jobs which we don't know the details of yet, and left, all taking place before traveler arrives.
Particular_Web32152026-01-20 03:43
search and cpature was something put out by dottore. disabled after they realised dottore was the one who wanted to use the research to become a god himself.
allmistake22026-01-20 06:42
It probably had something to do with the moon fragments that were mentioned to have fallen out of the sky just before the events of the quest and the construction of the experimental design bureau. My guess is Columbina exhausted herself pulling down a few of the remnants of the iridescent and eternal moons, which are important material resources for project Stuzha.
Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-20 01:19
Would you win?
Columbina: "Sleeping"
balMURRmung2026-01-20 01:53
Should be, unless Tsaritsa is able to take control of 3rd descender’s power.
lizzywbu2026-01-20 02:04
Well we don't know how powerful the Tsaritsa actually is.
She's so mysterious, I could definitely see her having power beyond that of a normal Archon.
Dreadsbo2026-01-20 02:13
To be fair… we don’t even know how strong a normal archon is. Every current one seems like an absolute monster.
Possible weakest is Raiden or Venti— but Raiden slices islands in half, and Venti can lift an island chain into the air.
OperationDifferent202026-01-20 02:21
The weakest combat wise is definitely Nahida or maybe focalors since all her power went to destroying the gnosis
lizzywbu2026-01-20 02:29
>The weakest combat wise is definitely Nahida
Combat wise yes. But she could just trap someone in an eternal samsara. Which is a crazy ability to have.
Renj132026-01-20 02:48
There are definitely certain restrictions, otherwise she would have used it already on Dottore.
lizzywbu2026-01-20 02:28
>we don’t even know how strong a normal archon is.
All we know is that Zhongli was the most powerful Archon. But we have no idea how much weaker one is without their Gnosis. I seem to remember Zhongli saying at the end of the Liyue AQ that Raiden was the most powerful Archon now that he is out of action.
But it definitely seems as though Hoyo makes the latest Archon the most powerful, Mavuika punching through the false sky for example.
So I fully expect the Tsaritsa to be the strongest among the 7 Archons.
Layton20002026-01-20 02:59
According to ZL himself Archons can regain that level of power, plus Nahida says the Gnosis "just gathers a reserve of Elemental Energy" and Venti directly compares them to (albeit much more advanced) Visions.
The biggest flex we know of a Gnosis is that Zhongli used his to mint all the Mora in circulation, resonate with Celestia in some way and one offhand mention that they give an Archon a "divine ability to defend their land".
But none of the on-screen feats we see are done via Gnosis, with (for example) Ei destroying Orobashi + splitting an island in half *not* using a Gnosis (since she only got one thousands of years later).
References:
Zhongli: Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion "After letting go of my Gnosis, I never expected to see a day like this again."
Zhongli: Character Story: Gnosis "Yet no matter how one looks at it, the loss of his divine ability to defend Liyue was too great a price to pay." (So it could literally just mean he's no longer a God i.e. he has no divine rights *or* responsibilities bc he retired??)
Nahida: Character Story: Gnosis "The Gnosis, to her, was but a core that gathers a mass of elemental power at her discretion."
Ending Note (last part of Mondstadt AQ) - Venti: "As you know, Visions are external magical foci that only a small minority of people possess. They use these Visions to channel elemental power.
In truth, every wielder of a Vision is one who can attain godhood and ascend to Celestia. We call such people allogenes.
Paimon: Allogenes? Paimon's never heard of them before.
Venti: Hehe, that's because this is a secret that only archons are privy to. We don't need primitive tools like Visions.
Instead, each archon has an internal magical focus that resonates directly with Celestia itself... known as a Gnosis."
Lucas74BR2026-01-20 02:22
And she has 6 of the 7 gnosis as of now. While we don't know exactly what purpose they serve, it's pretty clear she's gathering them to get stronger or power up something.
lizzywbu2026-01-20 02:31
We know from the Nod Krai lore that Pierro is building some kind of weapon. I think the Gnosis is for that. Probably to bring down Celestia.
Either that or she wants to bring back the 3rd Descender.
RoboChrist2026-01-20 02:37
I think the latter. Or somehow having all 7 gnoses will enable one to assume the power of a descender and escape fate.
KzamRdedit2026-01-20 05:02
I bet its gonna be the Traveller taking all 7 Gnoses and the Abyss Twin firing the first shot against Celestia
miami13dol2026-01-20 02:48
Didn't Columbina just tell us >!even the people of Snezhnaya don't know what kind of power she has since she's never acknowledged or accepted her power.!<
TetraNeuron2026-01-20 05:32
In Sandrone's dairy, it was snowing during Capitano & Signora's deaths, while it was raining during Alain's death
Neuvillette knew Alain so he was probably crying, but snowing during Capitano & Signora??
Could the Tsaritsa be the Cryo Soveriegn?
Warm_Bullfrog_44322026-01-20 06:08
Raiden was able to control thunderstorm at the border as an archon without the gnosis, so it doesn't necessitate her being a sovereign
Ryuunoru2026-01-20 07:16
Or it could just be cold in Snezhnaya. Plus, Archons don't need Authority to change the weather.
CryoStrange2026-01-20 07:42
You are right about Archons don't need authority to change the weather. But the Snowy days simply tells Tsaritsa was sad.
Hunter_Crona2026-01-20 02:05
It's not really stealing if Tsaritsa asked for it and Columbina was fine with that-
KingAlucard72026-01-20 02:10
no, because Tsaritsa is not gonna be 1v1. She has an entire country behind her. For example Pierro. He is a total wild card. Likely has knowledge/uses abyssal powers.
Sadimal2026-01-20 02:24
He definitely does. He was a Royal Mage under Irmin who had his people working on researching and utilizing forbidden knowledge and abyssal power.
casualgamerTX552026-01-20 02:33
She could, but I suspect it's no longer just Cryo skills that are at the Tsaritsa's disposal at this point in the story.
Weaponmaster4702026-01-20 02:54
Could she? Very possibly one on one unless Ana's experience and ruthlessness >!if she really is Koitar!< trumps Bina's raw power.
Would she? Nah, Bina can see the past of whoever she focuses on (reading Nicole for instance) but deliberately limits herself and is being cryptic about Ana. Letting things play out.
Ana also knew Bina had a unique fate and played her part.
Something is up between the two.
Honest_Milk_82742026-01-20 03:06
She didn't steal it, for starters. Also, we don't know how strong the Tsaritsa is right now after collecting all the gnosis except for Pyro, plus with some lunar power on top of it.
If the Cryo archon is trying to rebel against the HP she sure needs to amass a lot of power.
Successful-Ad55602026-01-20 02:00
That doesn't sound stronger than a full power sovereign to me.
VersatileDoubt2026-01-20 02:04
Yeah it’s gonna be hard for the writers to not include Columbina in the future of the story given how strong she is now.
CupcakeWarlock4502026-01-20 02:10
Inb4 in Snezhnaya there's a character who is somehow stronger than Columbina in order to not let her take the spotlight.
durz472026-01-20 02:58
The jester, most likely. Considering he was able to spy on the shades in that trailer.
BobTheGodx2026-01-20 03:53
I don't see why he would be working under the Tsaritsa if he was this powerful
duda66552026-01-20 04:08
Probably because HP is still stronger, also even if hes stronger then full power columbina it doesn't mean he can do 1v4 against shades
Nevanada2026-01-20 04:44
He also established the Fatui and likely gains great benefit by remaining as head, especially considering the Fatui's devotion to the Tsaritsa keeps them in line.
VMelain2026-01-20 05:07
I mean, according to Nahida, the top was made based on strength. It's really weird, bc we don't know if the Tsarisa took into account the TriLunar authority for the ranking. Maybe capitano at his peak was just that stupidly strong.. idk
redbossman1232026-01-20 06:15
I mean pre-NK Columbina doesn't seem that strong.
Munkleson2026-01-20 06:38
He believes in her vision of what she's trying to achieve? Just because you might be stronger doesn't mean you are the best leader/want to lead.
Similar example is in The Walking Dead with the Whisperers arc. Beta is easily stronger than Alpha but still loyally follows her
noodlesandrice12026-01-20 02:14
She nerfed herself at the end by giving up some of her power back to Nod Krai though.
Although we don’t know exactly how much power that was.
KazakiriKaoru2026-01-20 02:24
And she returned the marrows too. She'd be at full power if she had the marrows
Perfect_Ad83932026-01-20 03:09
Even without the marrows she still has full power lol. The marrows are just something extra. Her full power (trilunar authority) is what she got from the 3 goddesses which had nothing to do with the marrows.
tjkun2026-01-20 04:59
You’re right on this. Proof of it is that even after everything she had the power to lift some of the restrictions that the world has on the traveler. That has to be a big deal.
DraethDarkstar2026-01-20 03:09
She doesn't need them, the Welkin Moon has all three Lunar Authorities. It's not clear if the Moon Marrows even have any power left now.
sans_a_name2026-01-20 03:34
I think the marrows might be in a similar situation to gnoses, where they do have power and can make gods (Shouki no kami, for example) but are not the same as the archon's authority, which constitutes the divine throne. Focalors' hydro throne was shattered by indemnitium, but the gnosis didn't stop existing. Similarly, I think the marrows give lunar power and make moon gods (Dottore) but are different from the lunar authorities.
KzamRdedit2026-01-20 04:57
so... Arlecchino basically got a buff with the crimson moon. Lauma is out of the question since none of them can wield it for long
Nuka-Crapola2026-01-20 08:21
Yeah, basically. The Eternal Moon Marrow will probably come up again when we get to the Raiden twins’ backstory, seeing as they have implied links to the original Eternal Moon (with or without Aria present, depending on exactly how old they are and what the connection is), but for Lauma it’s a migraine generator and I’m pretty sure any other Frostmoon Scion would just… like… explode or something if they tried to use it, so it’s going in the vault for now.
What exactly Arlecchino plans to *do* with her own marrow isn’t clear, but we know she can use it safely so I expect it to come up again soon.
TheGreatBootOfEb2026-01-20 08:31
Ironically, with Capitano in a chair, Columbina doing her own thing, and Dottore dead, Arle (Not counting Pierro) is the now the strongest Fatui remaining lol. She probably needs that marrow if she is meant to be "taking the mantle" in a sense (Also being #4, there was already debates if she was actually a hidden god level Fatui, but if the moon marrow still has power she should pretty solidly be considered at the 'god-echelon' the original top 3 were)
Nuka-Crapola2026-01-20 08:47
I mean… whether Dottore is dead for good is unclear at best, but he’s definitely kicked out, so your point stands. Whether she gets a higher seat on paper or not, there’s no way Arle won’t have more expected of her.
I also want to note that the more Harbingers they lose, the funnier it is that Childe hasn’t been promoted from 11th yet. At this point they’ve got to be messing with him, right?
nebneb4322026-01-20 08:37
Yeah the situation with the marrows confused me too, but I assumed that they must still either hold power, or backdoor into the Trilune Authority because if rebirthing Columbina with all three authorities depowered the marrows then the fight with Dottore would have been easier than it was.
Bl_nk72026-01-20 03:35
Columbina never used the marrows to be at full power. She already has the Trilunar Authority without the marrows. The only thing she gave up that should affect her power a bit is the kuuvaki she gave back to Nod Krai. How much power did she give up? Well she described it as *only* a *portion/part* of herself that Nod Krai *needs.* but assured Traveler that she is still the Trilune Goddess.
Dylangillian2026-01-20 04:02
Question is, do those even matter? She got the full proper power in the past. And used it against Dottore without having the fragments. So to me it seems like she really doesn't need the fragments and she still is specifically stated to have trilune authority without them.
Allusernamtaken2026-01-20 05:01
To me it doesnt matter how much she nerf herself because she can just take those power back whenever she need them
karillith2026-01-20 08:53
> Although we don’t know exactly how much power that was.
Probably "as much as the story will require" lmao.
FayeQueen2026-01-20 02:59
Kinda how they nerfed Neuvillette by making him a battery for his lands and not being able to leave them for long. Like he's still powerful, but story wise, his hands are tied.
allmistake22026-01-20 06:40
Except columbina explicitly said she plans to travel and see the rest of Teyvat. She may even said she'd like to meet the Seven as she does.
slirpflerp2026-01-20 12:22
I don't think that's necessarily incompatible with what u/FayeQueen said. There are clear parallels.
Our playable Columbina can travel elsewhere, but isn't as powerful as she was at her strongest because she's divested some of her power into Nod Krai itself via the Kuuvahki that she herself created in the past.
I'm sure she'll remain super powerful in the story because she can tap into that power via story magic while we are in Nod Krai, while it'll be inaccessible later once the story moves on from Nod Krai.
Cneufeusd2026-01-20 13:11
she doesnt wanna meet neuvilette cuz of the prison cell thing lol
Rare_Marionberry7822026-01-20 03:43
She’s going to need all that power to protect her Moon now
REMERALDX2026-01-20 05:07
That is if the game was about powerscaling hype moments and aura
AgentPARTYo2026-01-20 02:58
Where could I find this lore in game if I were to look for it? 6.X AQ? Still catching up from 3.x
tur_tels2026-01-20 04:26
Doesn't the Moon Goddesses have equal Authority to the 7 Dragons though? Both Dragons and Goddesses were given authority to rule over Teyval, Dragons have their respective element while the Goddesses have the night sky.
What Dottore did wasn't too far from what a God with authority can.
But I guess a Moon Goddess is stronger than a single Archon or Dragon since they had halves but 3 shared the power compared to the 7, and now Columbina has 3, so yeah she's equivalent to that of the whole 7 archons and Dragons. Bruh
VMelain2026-01-20 05:26
yeah, people are exaggerating. Raiden could already play with time and space in her boss fight and created multiple "living" puppets. And the Sakura tree thing too
tur_tels2026-01-20 05:43
Yeah, people are sleeping over Archons lately after Shades, Sinners, Sovereigns, and now Moon Goddesses are introduced.
Archons are just as impressive as them and in terms of power scalling Archons don't fall short against Sovereigns and Moon Goddesses, it really depends on who has their Authority, otherwise they're all equal.
But Sinners and Shades still sit on top.
VMelain2026-01-20 05:54
This reminds me of the old debate of "Could the 11 win agaisnt the 7?". I have always thought of this since back in 1.0 with the signora's introduction
Zaazuka2026-01-20 06:35
The Moon Goddesses were given Nibelung's authority over the fundamental rules of Teyvat. They are far stronger than the sovereigns.
HP > Shades > Archons
Nibelung > Moon Goddesses > Sovereigns
GrapefruitNo1Fan2026-01-20 01:05
The only characters that can be stronger than Columbina is Surtalogi, Prime Nibelung, and Prime Heavenly Principles.
Arctic_The_Hunter2026-01-20 01:08
We know almost nothing about the other Sinners’ levels, or Dain for that matter.
GrapefruitNo1Fan2026-01-20 01:10
That is true, but I think by the SO weapons showing how they mimic the shades to a lesser extent that they are weaker than shades therefore weaker than Tri-Lunar Authority
Arctic_The_Hunter2026-01-20 01:14
For what it’s worth, Surtalogi seems to greatly respect Vedrfolnir and his prophecies, and we know from Fontaine that predicting a more significant event generally requires a more impressive visionary. This could imply that Vedrfolnir, while nowhere near Surtalogi’s physical strength, is still comparable to him in cosmological importance.
GrapefruitNo1Fan2026-01-20 01:15
I could believe it, i’m definitely excited to get more details on the rest of the sinners, as it seems like Rerir was the weakest of the bunch.
Arctic_The_Hunter2026-01-20 01:17
He’s only barely a Sinner, and essentially joined them on accident. The others+Dain are likely the strongest beings actually *in* Teyvat
GrapefruitNo1Fan2026-01-20 01:18
Do you think Dain is stronger than Rerir? I think it’s close but if he was stronger why did we need everything we needed in 6.1 to defeat him?
AigheLuvsekks_2026-01-20 02:48
Probably because dain wasnt corrupted by the abyss like the other sinners
Arctic_The_Hunter2026-01-20 02:58
Rerir is a bitch to actually put down, so a complex plan was needed to trap him in the moon’s reflection. However, it was specifically Dain who supplied the energy to pull that off.
What we have to go on is that Dain is actively hunting the Sinners, he’s likely stronger than the abyss twin while not holding back, and he’s presumably the final boss for a hypothetical full-power Traveler.
Excellent_Skirt11012026-01-20 01:31
Noone from power within Teyvat can ever come close to tri-lunar authority - so she could only be defeated by the power from the outside: Abyss (Sinners, Dain, Twin) or heavenly principles
AigheLuvsekks_2026-01-20 02:50
For what its worth the moons were created by a being from teyvat so you dont necessarily need an outside force to overcoem the trilune authority
Arctic_The_Hunter2026-01-20 02:56
Dain explicitly says “we shall challenge this world with a power from beyond,” so not a huge issue.
DeathToBoredom2026-01-20 03:01
Uh... We've seen what Dain is capable of many times. He very clearly doesn't hold back very much at all whenever he gets involved. Like with killing that one guy hundreds of times. Like, yeah, you're not openly seeing his power, but having enough power to kill that guy hundreds of times over and can still keep going is something. With Rerir, iirc he just chose not to fight because he's his friend, but ig he kept the portal open.
putih_salju2026-01-20 01:17
I think any one of the shades is stronger than Columbina. She can't even fully remove the shackles put upon the Traveler by Asmoday.
Moon authority is probably inferior to Shade's authority. Makes sense because Nibelung is weaker than HP, and moon authority comes from Nibelung.
Bitter-Golf26082026-01-20 01:33
Colombina removed the limitation that Teyvat gave the traveler, but its lost power probably works differently.
Beasthunter18992026-01-20 01:11
with the 3 moons she is far superior.
None of the archons or Neuvilette would have stand a chance against Dottore if he had won.
emberesment2026-01-20 01:12
Above the shades, below HP.
danteas142026-01-20 01:24
she suposedly is stronger than the shades, but I doubt she has the full extent of the moons power.
Im pretty sure its stated that she discareded most of her power to give it to nod-krai and escape the time prison, and she needed the traveler's help to finish doctore (didnt instantly destroy him), and based on what we know about the power of the three moons, she would have been able to defeat him easily.
and even though its too early to say this, I really doubt the shades would overlook someone with all that power suddenly appearing
So I personally would say she's at least shade level
Ghurty12026-01-20 01:40
well to be fair dottore also had the moons power
GetFiltered2026-01-20 02:49
And he would have won if he didn't constantly try to seduce Traveler instead of just killing him. Bro literally stabbed him in the back and Dottore was still trying to hit.
sirjeal2026-01-20 05:39
Pretty sure he was so desperate for the Traveler to join him, because even with all of his new power he was still tied to his Fate destined in Teyvat's world and could only change it with the help of a Descender.
CryoStrange2026-01-20 07:46
"Join me Traveler, this is your last chance."
Dottore said calmly for 96th time.
Memefront2026-01-20 02:07
Yeah she gave up the trilune authority, returning the kuuvahki in Nod Krai to protect it as it did for hundred of years and giving back the marrows. She is still very strong but at the moment where she had that authority she was the strongest person the traveler had met (well I think she beats out Skirk but not sure).
Also yeah the shades are not letting this slide
erwichvonstadt2026-01-20 02:29
she never gave up the trilune authority, just the kuuvakhi that was already in nod krai in the first place which is her own power. She's probably physically weakened but she can still bend the laws of Teyvat.
Weaponmaster4702026-01-20 02:46
Bina didn't give up Trilune Authority, she placed a portion of its power to protect Nod Krai while she holds on to reality bending powers. She could recall it at any time if she so wishes.
She's only limited by her morality, which explicitly states she doesn't want to turn everything into her whims because she doesn't want to be the asshole Zandik was.
Bl_nk72026-01-20 04:25
It’s not described as most of her power she explicitly says it’s **only** a **portion/part** of her that Nod Krai needs**. It’s an important distinction because “most” implies it’s half or more than half but Columbina only describes it as a “part” and emphasizes only what’s necessary for Nod Krai. If Nod Krai was always bathed in Kuuvahki even when Columbina was reborn 500 years ago her power was still enough to be ranked 3rd Harbinger So I doubt this action dropped her power that drastically especially since she still has the Trilunar Authority and status as Trilune Goddess. Note she never says she gave up any of her authority. All she says is she gave back Kuuvahki to Nod Krai. That was always Columbina’s unique power it has nothing to do with her Trilunar Authority as neither Sonnet, Canon, or Aria had kuuvahki. In fact it’s after Columbina says that she will give back kuuvahki to Nod Krai she reassures Traveler that this will have no negative affect on her since she is the Trilune Goddess now.
Jellal_Fernandez19952026-01-20 07:05
She didn't really need the traveler, it was the other way around, she blessed him with her powers and the others to make them strong enough to fight dottore, they were powerless against him before, and she managed to take away his moon marrows effortlessly
QWERTYAF12412026-01-20 01:33
No idea. Her authority is supposed to be really strong but we don't know how much she can control it. We also don't know what exactly her authority can do. We know it has some influence over time, space, life, and death but it's not complete control or anything like that.
LeagueOfHurricane2026-01-20 02:17
>We also don't know what exactly her authority can do.
Based on her profile, >!she was also curious to know but felt like she shouldn't mess with the world. That's why she gave up part of it to protect Nod Krai!<

What Dottore could do, she can do better
Draconic_Legends2026-01-20 03:55
We've come full circle
VenjoyBg472026-01-20 09:52
It is in fact complete control via the info we got
HeroDeleterA2026-01-20 01:37
I mean considering what Dottore was doing with 2½ moons, I would imagine the answer is a fuckin lot
bluedragjet2026-01-20 02:44
It's implied that Dottore successfully recreated a new moon, so he had 3 moon
HeroDeleterA2026-01-20 03:08
Yeah but it was artificial so its still a fake no matter what
ModdedGun2026-01-20 03:17
While it was fake. It was real enough to give him full authority as well. It's just the real authority is better than the fake one.
caramel90popcorn2026-01-20 07:15
Yeah because unlike Columbina, teyvat accepts his existence into this world (ofc that’s before the ending of the AQ since things changed for Bina now)
IlliasTallin2026-01-20 04:12
It may have been fake, but Teyvat recognized it as a fully powered moon.
HeroDeleterA2026-01-20 05:44
Teyvat may have recognized it, but I don't. So who's the real loser here? That's right, Dottore
Key-Cardiologist-8352026-01-20 06:07
No no, he's got a point
kuroka_kitten2026-01-20 07:26
I love this comment
ErenIsNotADevil2026-01-20 16:53
Dottore would smirk, chuckle, and go "*Ahh, so that's how you see it? How very pitiful.*"
Then he'd Dottore all over you, kill his childhood friend again for science, commit a few acts of international terrorism/experimentation, and call it a day

at her strongest, she should in theory be able to contest the 4 shades... like all at once.
>!she unfortunately gives up most of her power and authority at the end of the quest, but for a brief moment, she was the most powerful entity ever shown on screen.!<
ElderOmnivore2026-01-20 02:50
Did she give up the trilune authority or just the moon marrows? Her sisters gave her the trilune authority. The moon marrows have nothing to do with that.
TeririHerscherOfCute2026-01-20 02:53
the way it's described, it was like she took the engine out of a Ferrari... like, it's still a Ferrari, but good luck getting it to go.
ergo, there's a difference between \*having\* the authority and being able to use it, she is currently unable to use it and thus would lose a power struggle against someone who could, like the shades.
ElderOmnivore2026-01-20 02:58
I still don't think they're related. The marrows were from when the moons died. They're different sources she didn't need because her sisters gave her their powers.
I don't think she lost access to it at all.
D-S_122026-01-20 02:00
Trilunar Authority probably gives her power that could surpass the archons. We saw with Dottore what that authority can grant you if you really wanted to use it in anger. In brute strength, Columbina isn't winning. But that won't matter if she can change how the fight plays out to begin with. It's like trying to 1v1 against another player who can rewrite a game's code to give themselves an advantage no matter the situation.
If there were ever a fight, I'd imagine it would be like how the Trailblazer in HSR was just sent to the Exomyth by Lygus while in the Grove of Epiphany the moment the TB tried fighting him. Doesn't matter if you have the brute strength if the person you're fighting can just tweak something you can't counter and now you're no longer a threat.

Focalors and Buer aren't exactly "warrior gods," to be fair. Hell, Barbatos isnt either, but at least we have seen the effects of him using his powers for some sort of destructive purpose.
The_Cheeseman832026-01-20 02:03
Strength is not a single axis metric, and Genshin is not some shounen anime where “power level” can be assigned some arbitrary value and stratified unambiguously. Different beings have different capabilities that may not be directly comparable.
Mana_Croissant2026-01-20 02:03
Should be the strongest playable character we have with maybe just Skirk as a possible exception. She now has the authority of all 3 moons which should be much stronger than a Gnosis or a single elemental authority
TheRealNequam2026-01-20 14:32
> maybe just Skirk
Im still very confused about how strong she actually is, its so vague
nyxsiren72026-01-20 02:05
She gave away >!the moon marrows to Lauma and Arlecchino!< and >!returned majority of her power to sustain Nod Krai!< but I'd say she's still slightly above archon level at the moment.
lizzywbu2026-01-20 02:06
She has the power of the 3 moons. She kicked Dottore's ass and he had power over life/death, time/space.
She's far beyond an Archon now. I'd say she's more akin to one of the Shades.
Let's not forget that the 3 Moon Goddesses ran Teyvat for Nibelung. They had the same role that the Shades have now.
Fun-Ad76132026-01-20 02:13
Well in story Wanderer had confidence rest of teyvat wouldn’t fall into chaos from dottore like Nodkrai because of the archons , childe and arle had confidence tsarsita could help to stop him if she intervened so archons would not be helpless at all in that situation
donpastera2026-01-20 02:18
In Minecraft simple terms, Columbina with the trilune authority is basically. /gamemode creative but since HP is currently the ruling party, HP is basically the server owner with the console / command prompt while Columbina is just an /op privileges at the moment.
starry_yohan2026-01-20 10:11
This makes sense
CJSANCHEZ702026-01-20 02:24
Probably stronger than all of them right now, but watch the powerscalers try to downplay her, there's already people saying that she gave up her powers and authority at the end of the archon quest when she literally said that she only returned the amount of kuuvahki nodkrai needs and that it doesn't affect her since she's now the trilunar goddess
DesModReddit2026-01-20 02:26
I am pretty sure in pure combat power she wouldn't be too far ahead of the dragon sovereigns or the strongest archons, but she does have authority over reality breaking abilities like time and space, wich makes her by default far stronger than the others. I would guess (there is no evidence to support this) that she is almost ob par with one of the shades when it comes to a pure 1v1, with the shades having even stronger authority over the dominions and thus beating hernin the same way she beats any archon.
Edit: if she even is ahead of the strongest archons and dragons that is, she may very well be weaker and still beat them by sheer cheats with her trilunar authority
Fancy-Shopping-3272026-01-20 02:28
Logically the only people who can contest a transcendental authority are other people who have access to a transcendental authority.
Columbina has fucking all of them
TheMrPotMask2026-01-20 02:34
In a nutshell.... shes **Lunar Benett**.
But she can use the lunar onfield set to be the driver for teams like bloom and now lunar crystalize (Glunar, lunar geo, shinestone, whatever you wanna call it) because she can be onfield with zhongli, albedo and flex to spam lunar crystalize and spam both of the geo turrets and her own lunar projectiles.
With her, geo has its own version of hyperbloom bombarding enemies as long as you have good aplicators.
EuraLapist2026-01-20 02:36
Moonversal.
bluedragjet2026-01-20 02:39
She was the strongest playable character during the Dottore fight
Meffle__2026-01-20 02:40
The strongest playable character. Currently, you could say the hierarchy of divinity goes as follows: Heavenly Principles->The Shades of Heavenly Principles->The Seven. Before the arrival of Heavenly Principles it looked like this: Nibelung->Three Moon Sisters->Seven Dragon Sovereigns. We can pair these divinities respectively:
Nibelung was the ultimate authority, the ruler of Teyvat, and so is Heavenly Principles.
Moon Sisters were essentially Nibelung's executioners - they would oversee the world per his wishes, trapped in their moons' reflections, they were the highest servants of Nibelung, and that is very similar to the Shades. Shades were also created by the ruler, just like Moon Sisters, and are the ruler's primary servants that basically manage Celestia for them.
The seven dragon sovereigns were just like The Seven, controlling their respective elements, just without gnoses, Celestia, divine thrones, etc.
Since Columbina has the Tri-Lunar authority that makes her stronger than any archon, as well as the playable dragon sovereign, that being Neuvillette. And since she has powers of all three moons, one could argue that Columbina is more powerful than even individual shades, but there could be many nuances, since shades are in a position of control of space, time, life and death, and that control is maintained by Heavenly Principles, so even if Columbina would hypothetically fight a shade, she would probably not win, because that shade would control death/life/time/space under Heavenly Principles' authority over Teyvat. So Columbina's full-potential power is enormous, the fact that she has that power in Teyvat ruled by Celestia, which does not recognize tri-lunar authority, that power is bottlenecked. But even with that, she is lore-wise, the strongest playable character.
Seaglass21212026-01-20 08:20
Yes, to make it short; comparable to the shades in powers since trilunar authority is primordial authority over life/death, space and time.
starry_yohan2026-01-20 10:10
This is what I was saying on every social media.
She is at the very least on the same power level as the Shades. It's not that hard to come to this conclusion if you actually read the facts, but people will still say she's Cannon fodder compared to the Shades.
Seaglass21212026-01-20 10:32
Ikr, not to mention the blatant misinformation ppl keep spreading cuz they can’t/wont read while playing the game 💀
Previous-Alps98502026-01-20 02:41
Somewhere between a slime and the primordial one
LetMetOucHyOURasS2026-01-20 02:42
Her authority is higher. But her power is divided.
A lot of her energy is exist as kuuvahki on nod krai. And she gave away 2 moon marrow to lauma and arlecchino.
So it's hard to tell exactly.
Meelis132026-01-20 02:44
Really tough to tell. Full strength? She probably would be powerful enough to challenge heavenly principles- at least enough to give her a serious fight, albeit she wouldnt win. Though she would be at least recognizable threat level.
However there are some wildcard aspects that make asessing power levels tough. Sure, she has trilunar authority, but she herself confirmed she diluted her power quite a bit. Plus its fairly safe to assume that without 3 moons (yes, there are certain shenanigans there, but its quite safe to say we cant count there being 3 moons in terms of power), she is not going to be at the potential levels. There is also a matter of control.
Its probably safe to call her canonically most powerful playable character, at least for the time being (traveller is supposed to surpass these levels, but for time, its not the case)
Akarias8882026-01-20 02:46
At least a very significant tier above. The trilune is stated to be equivalent to the heavenly principles (death, time, space) which are a tier above the archons. Moving mountains and whatever is cool, but dottore was shown to control reality, and Columbia just overpowered him.
vglisten2026-01-20 02:47
Neuvilette is likely weaker than the Archons, but the Trilune authority grants more power than any individual gnosis.
MinervaLlorn2026-01-20 02:50
Knowing she can change the timeline is hella strong enough to rewrite the history if she can implant herself from the past like Dottore did.
Everyoneheresamoron2026-01-20 02:50
I would say definitely like "All the archons together" and "probably just below all of the dragons together but not far below"
Still not good enough to deal with HP or whatever, but I think we're moving toward powerscaling to that.
NoAcanthopterygii8762026-01-20 03:29
Her being a Trilune Goddess already puts her above all the archons, while Neuvillette alone still falls short even with his sovereign authority.
The trilune authority is comparable to that of the 4 shades as far as Dottore's demonstration of it goes and how the authority itself was delegated by Nibelung to help rule over Teyvat in his absence.
Of course, we also saw Columbina return a part of her powers to Nod-Krai, and all of this is hypothetical scaling based on narrative, so I wouldn't put her on the same level as *all* 4 shades right now.
Formal-Rooster39002026-01-20 03:35
Nibelung matches to heavenly principle
three moons matches 4 shades
7 sovereign matches 7 archons
its pretty clear cut
Wilhelm_Asgarde2026-01-20 10:45
This question is very interesting and is quite more complicated than what most people in the comments I have read are insinuating (I will not pretend to have read them all though).
Columbina at full power has authority over time, space, life and death. (Logos/power of reason was never between authorities of the moon or shades, people can stop bringing that up.) She has more versatile powers than anyone, because she has the power of all shades. However there are two issues "with her being at "full power".
First is more objective and that is that Columbina must have given a lot of her power to restore Kuvahki to all of Nod Krai. Every piece of tech, every Kuvahki creature or natural phenomena, every person or item wielding Kuvahki... that is all the power Columbina has given away. And while we do not know how big her power was actually at the moment of her return and Dottore fight, I'd say this would still be a substantial and noticeable portion of her power (hinted to also by Columbina's and Traveler's conversation on the moon).
Second part is that while she does have the Trilunar authority, she is reincarnation/samsara of only one of them and while authority gives power, it is certainly not a 1to1 ratio as we have seen Mauvika who was excelent fighter with vision reach higher echelon of god powers when given authority of Pyro Archon throne and gnosis, from the little we know about Zhongli, he was already an extremely powerful god before getting the Geo Authority/throne/Gnosis and after he got it... he was still powerful god? We obviously know very little about details with him but he isn't the only one. Makoto and Ei were also powerful twin goddesses and Ei was the warrior of the duo before and even after Makoto got the authority over Electro. So her powers are combinations of all the shade but he power as in energy output etc most likely isn't.
If I had to guess full power Columbina, there is no Archon who can win against her, probably not even prime Zhongli. Same goes for angels who we know next to nothing about aside from them being between heavens and Archons in hiearchy. Dragon sovereign are also probably not winning this. But I think Shades, while being less versatile (each one of them having ¼ of Columbina possible moveset) are probably more powerful and likely have also more experience wielding such power. So I think Shades are still more powerful than Columbina.
Columbina without all the power of Kuvahki in Nod Krai is probably at the level of prime Zhongli/sovereign Neuvilette/Angels if they are as powerful as lore suggests.
ETA: Forgot to mention, but moon marrows are irrelevant, those are remnant of the previous Moon Goddesses
Loros_Silvers2026-01-20 14:16
She's probably powerful in terms of sheer power, but I doubt she actually knows or has any motivation to fight. And if you compare her to Dottore... Hoyo didn't want Varka and Arlecchino there for a reason.
She's less powerful than people think, both with a power she is new to and with the lack of knowledge regarding it's uses.
Commentaires
The 3 moons were assigned by Nibelung to rule the planet in his absence just like the Shades are now running it while HP is taking a nap. They basically had full admin powers, and Columbina at full power was definitely way higher than any dragon or archon.
But they will still cry about it cuz whether she is waifu or not, the moment she decides to be an ally of the traveler, which is already inevitable for plot sake, they’ll act like she got botched up.
The Tsarista offered Columbina a place to stay and in exchange wanted to use her power. There was no stealing or forcing involved, just equivalent exchange.
As a side note, we never found out what the final thing was that Columbina did for the Tsaritsa before she was allowed to leave. The thing that left her weakened.
I wonder if Bina brought down the moon remnants for her?
Also, I may be stupid, buy why was Columbina under 'search and capture' when the Tsaritsa had allowed her to leave, and she paid a price for that right?
The Pale Star Edict? Yeah, I have absolutely no idea. It made zero sense to me. It was hand waved away in the last AQ, I think it was Sandrone who said it was Dotorre who orchestrated the search and capture of Bina. Which makes even less sense because it is explained in Luna 1 that the Pale Star Edict comes directly from the Tsaritsa.
Remember that Columbina doesn't really understand people, prior to the AQ. So her whole "Oh, we left on good terms." Might simply have been her misunderstanding a "So you wish to run away? Fine, get out" style message from the Tsaritsa. With that said, Dottore *did* bring back two Gnosi, so he may have been given preferential treatment in terms of being able to put out a hunt for Columbina, and with the Tsaritsa being as busy as she is plotting the death of the gods, she may have simply gone "You need harbingers? Sure. Just let me know when you get what you need." Before Arlecchino came up and went "Errr...You know he's actively causing problems, yes?"
People already learned the hard way that you can't use other characters to judge a character you haven't seen yet, given what Columbina herself turned into despite having three separate harbingers talking about how spooky she is. History may be repeating itself.
Columbina: "Sleeping"
She's so mysterious, I could definitely see her having power beyond that of a normal Archon.
Possible weakest is Raiden or Venti— but Raiden slices islands in half, and Venti can lift an island chain into the air.
Combat wise yes. But she could just trap someone in an eternal samsara. Which is a crazy ability to have.
All we know is that Zhongli was the most powerful Archon. But we have no idea how much weaker one is without their Gnosis. I seem to remember Zhongli saying at the end of the Liyue AQ that Raiden was the most powerful Archon now that he is out of action.
But it definitely seems as though Hoyo makes the latest Archon the most powerful, Mavuika punching through the false sky for example.
So I fully expect the Tsaritsa to be the strongest among the 7 Archons.
The biggest flex we know of a Gnosis is that Zhongli used his to mint all the Mora in circulation, resonate with Celestia in some way and one offhand mention that they give an Archon a "divine ability to defend their land".
But none of the on-screen feats we see are done via Gnosis, with (for example) Ei destroying Orobashi + splitting an island in half *not* using a Gnosis (since she only got one thousands of years later).
References:
Zhongli: Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion "After letting go of my Gnosis, I never expected to see a day like this again."
Zhongli: Character Story: Gnosis "Yet no matter how one looks at it, the loss of his divine ability to defend Liyue was too great a price to pay." (So it could literally just mean he's no longer a God i.e. he has no divine rights *or* responsibilities bc he retired??)
Nahida: Character Story: Gnosis "The Gnosis, to her, was but a core that gathers a mass of elemental power at her discretion."
Ending Note (last part of Mondstadt AQ) - Venti: "As you know, Visions are external magical foci that only a small minority of people possess. They use these Visions to channel elemental power.
In truth, every wielder of a Vision is one who can attain godhood and ascend to Celestia. We call such people allogenes.
Paimon: Allogenes? Paimon's never heard of them before.
Venti: Hehe, that's because this is a secret that only archons are privy to. We don't need primitive tools like Visions.
Instead, each archon has an internal magical focus that resonates directly with Celestia itself... known as a Gnosis."
Either that or she wants to bring back the 3rd Descender.
Neuvillette knew Alain so he was probably crying, but snowing during Capitano & Signora??
Could the Tsaritsa be the Cryo Soveriegn?
Would she? Nah, Bina can see the past of whoever she focuses on (reading Nicole for instance) but deliberately limits herself and is being cryptic about Ana. Letting things play out.
Ana also knew Bina had a unique fate and played her part.
Something is up between the two.
If the Cryo archon is trying to rebel against the HP she sure needs to amass a lot of power.
Similar example is in The Walking Dead with the Whisperers arc. Beta is easily stronger than Alpha but still loyally follows her
Although we don’t know exactly how much power that was.
What exactly Arlecchino plans to *do* with her own marrow isn’t clear, but we know she can use it safely so I expect it to come up again soon.
I also want to note that the more Harbingers they lose, the funnier it is that Childe hasn’t been promoted from 11th yet. At this point they’ve got to be messing with him, right?
Probably "as much as the story will require" lmao.
Our playable Columbina can travel elsewhere, but isn't as powerful as she was at her strongest because she's divested some of her power into Nod Krai itself via the Kuuvahki that she herself created in the past.
I'm sure she'll remain super powerful in the story because she can tap into that power via story magic while we are in Nod Krai, while it'll be inaccessible later once the story moves on from Nod Krai.
What Dottore did wasn't too far from what a God with authority can.
But I guess a Moon Goddess is stronger than a single Archon or Dragon since they had halves but 3 shared the power compared to the 7, and now Columbina has 3, so yeah she's equivalent to that of the whole 7 archons and Dragons. Bruh
Archons are just as impressive as them and in terms of power scalling Archons don't fall short against Sovereigns and Moon Goddesses, it really depends on who has their Authority, otherwise they're all equal.
But Sinners and Shades still sit on top.
HP > Shades > Archons
Nibelung > Moon Goddesses > Sovereigns
What we have to go on is that Dain is actively hunting the Sinners, he’s likely stronger than the abyss twin while not holding back, and he’s presumably the final boss for a hypothetical full-power Traveler.
Moon authority is probably inferior to Shade's authority. Makes sense because Nibelung is weaker than HP, and moon authority comes from Nibelung.
None of the archons or Neuvilette would have stand a chance against Dottore if he had won.
Im pretty sure its stated that she discareded most of her power to give it to nod-krai and escape the time prison, and she needed the traveler's help to finish doctore (didnt instantly destroy him), and based on what we know about the power of the three moons, she would have been able to defeat him easily.
and even though its too early to say this, I really doubt the shades would overlook someone with all that power suddenly appearing
So I personally would say she's at least shade level
Dottore said calmly for 96th time.
Also yeah the shades are not letting this slide
She's only limited by her morality, which explicitly states she doesn't want to turn everything into her whims because she doesn't want to be the asshole Zandik was.
Based on her profile, >!she was also curious to know but felt like she shouldn't mess with the world. That's why she gave up part of it to protect Nod Krai!<
What Dottore could do, she can do better
Then he'd Dottore all over you, kill his childhood friend again for science, commit a few acts of international terrorism/experimentation, and call it a day

Doesn't matter if you have the brute strength if the person you're fighting can just tweak something you can't counter and now you're no longer a threat.

She's far beyond an Archon now. I'd say she's more akin to one of the Shades.
Let's not forget that the 3 Moon Goddesses ran Teyvat for Nibelung. They had the same role that the Shades have now.
Edit: if she even is ahead of the strongest archons and dragons that is, she may very well be weaker and still beat them by sheer cheats with her trilunar authority
Columbina has fucking all of them
But she can use the lunar onfield set to be the driver for teams like bloom and now lunar crystalize (Glunar, lunar geo, shinestone, whatever you wanna call it) because she can be onfield with zhongli, albedo and flex to spam lunar crystalize and spam both of the geo turrets and her own lunar projectiles.
With her, geo has its own version of hyperbloom bombarding enemies as long as you have good aplicators.
Nibelung was the ultimate authority, the ruler of Teyvat, and so is Heavenly Principles.
Moon Sisters were essentially Nibelung's executioners - they would oversee the world per his wishes, trapped in their moons' reflections, they were the highest servants of Nibelung, and that is very similar to the Shades. Shades were also created by the ruler, just like Moon Sisters, and are the ruler's primary servants that basically manage Celestia for them.
The seven dragon sovereigns were just like The Seven, controlling their respective elements, just without gnoses, Celestia, divine thrones, etc.
Since Columbina has the Tri-Lunar authority that makes her stronger than any archon, as well as the playable dragon sovereign, that being Neuvillette. And since she has powers of all three moons, one could argue that Columbina is more powerful than even individual shades, but there could be many nuances, since shades are in a position of control of space, time, life and death, and that control is maintained by Heavenly Principles, so even if Columbina would hypothetically fight a shade, she would probably not win, because that shade would control death/life/time/space under Heavenly Principles' authority over Teyvat. So Columbina's full-potential power is enormous, the fact that she has that power in Teyvat ruled by Celestia, which does not recognize tri-lunar authority, that power is bottlenecked. But even with that, she is lore-wise, the strongest playable character.
She is at the very least on the same power level as the Shades. It's not that hard to come to this conclusion if you actually read the facts, but people will still say she's Cannon fodder compared to the Shades.
A lot of her energy is exist as kuuvahki on nod krai. And she gave away 2 moon marrow to lauma and arlecchino.
So it's hard to tell exactly.
However there are some wildcard aspects that make asessing power levels tough. Sure, she has trilunar authority, but she herself confirmed she diluted her power quite a bit. Plus its fairly safe to assume that without 3 moons (yes, there are certain shenanigans there, but its quite safe to say we cant count there being 3 moons in terms of power), she is not going to be at the potential levels. There is also a matter of control.
Its probably safe to call her canonically most powerful playable character, at least for the time being (traveller is supposed to surpass these levels, but for time, its not the case)
Still not good enough to deal with HP or whatever, but I think we're moving toward powerscaling to that.
The trilune authority is comparable to that of the 4 shades as far as Dottore's demonstration of it goes and how the authority itself was delegated by Nibelung to help rule over Teyvat in his absence.
Of course, we also saw Columbina return a part of her powers to Nod-Krai, and all of this is hypothetical scaling based on narrative, so I wouldn't put her on the same level as *all* 4 shades right now.
three moons matches 4 shades
7 sovereign matches 7 archons
its pretty clear cut
Columbina at full power has authority over time, space, life and death. (Logos/power of reason was never between authorities of the moon or shades, people can stop bringing that up.) She has more versatile powers than anyone, because she has the power of all shades. However there are two issues "with her being at "full power".
First is more objective and that is that Columbina must have given a lot of her power to restore Kuvahki to all of Nod Krai. Every piece of tech, every Kuvahki creature or natural phenomena, every person or item wielding Kuvahki... that is all the power Columbina has given away. And while we do not know how big her power was actually at the moment of her return and Dottore fight, I'd say this would still be a substantial and noticeable portion of her power (hinted to also by Columbina's and Traveler's conversation on the moon).
Second part is that while she does have the Trilunar authority, she is reincarnation/samsara of only one of them and while authority gives power, it is certainly not a 1to1 ratio as we have seen Mauvika who was excelent fighter with vision reach higher echelon of god powers when given authority of Pyro Archon throne and gnosis, from the little we know about Zhongli, he was already an extremely powerful god before getting the Geo Authority/throne/Gnosis and after he got it... he was still powerful god? We obviously know very little about details with him but he isn't the only one. Makoto and Ei were also powerful twin goddesses and Ei was the warrior of the duo before and even after Makoto got the authority over Electro. So her powers are combinations of all the shade but he power as in energy output etc most likely isn't.
If I had to guess full power Columbina, there is no Archon who can win against her, probably not even prime Zhongli. Same goes for angels who we know next to nothing about aside from them being between heavens and Archons in hiearchy. Dragon sovereign are also probably not winning this. But I think Shades, while being less versatile (each one of them having ¼ of Columbina possible moveset) are probably more powerful and likely have also more experience wielding such power. So I think Shades are still more powerful than Columbina.
Columbina without all the power of Kuvahki in Nod Krai is probably at the level of prime Zhongli/sovereign Neuvilette/Angels if they are as powerful as lore suggests.
ETA: Forgot to mention, but moon marrows are irrelevant, those are remnant of the previous Moon Goddesses
She's less powerful than people think, both with a power she is new to and with the lack of knowledge regarding it's uses.
