So Columbina is Most powerful being in teyvat ( active, playable, known to us) Right now.

: Bearer of three lunar authorities simultaneously

Only known playable being with confirmed multi-moon compatibility

Power rivals Shades-level existences

Exerts influence beyond Celestia's standard system

\- With Tri-lunar Authority, she wields the power of time, space, life, and death

Feared even among Harbingers and higher entities

Columbina stands at the apex because her Trilune Authority fundamentally breaks previously established cosmological limits.

The coexistence of three lunar powers was once considered impossible due to mutual rejection, yet her successful synchronization elevates her into a near-Shade tier. Unlike Archons or Dragons, her power is not regional, elemental, or hierarchical.

And again for people who will come and argue that Neuvillette is more powerful to emphasize on NOT REGIONAL/ELEMENTAL/HIERARCHICAL.

The trilunar authority =/ shades power level

She may very well be the strongest we have seen in game but it’s doubtful that she’s anywhere near the shades level power. She’s definitely not on the level of someone like Surtalogi or honestly probably the other two sinners as well. The power of the abyss > any being in Teyvat power.

xyzqsrb02026-01-20 21:09

source: I made it up

Everything in game points towards the moon goddess collective power being on par with the shades.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:10

What did I make up? I can back all of my claims with lore from the game. The abyss is the most powerful thing that has been introduced in our universe. That has been established in the game. It’s actively destroying the entire universe.

Edit: no, it doesn’t. If this was the case, HP would have disposed of them after winning the war of the funerary flame. He instead decided their existence did not affect him. That clearly suggests their power is beneath him and therefore his shades must be stronger.

VongQuocKhanh2026-01-20 21:14

Can you cite the sources?

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:15

I just said “from lore from the game” then explained what lore I was referring to.

SoC1752026-01-20 21:18

Moon goddesses are the second most powerful entities under the Dragon King

Shades are the second most powerful entities under the Heavenly Principles

HP > Nibelung, but there are 4 shades sharing his second tier vs only 3 moon goddesses.

So individually a moon goddess may very well be a notch above an individual shade.

Both shades and moon goddesses are below the HP and even though a single moon goddess is above a single shade the degree that separates them from the HP can still be enough for the HP to not be concerned.

Now a 3-in-1 moon goddess didn't exist back then, her existence may or may not put her on a level that would concern the HP now (or even would have concerned them back then),

Apparently the HP is in no condition to act upon anything, even though it should case them to react

Long story short: We don't know anything. Power scaling is bull\*h\*t and if Hoyo wants human-level characters to participate and contribute to fights they really shouldn't have any place in, those human-like characters just will. Because Hoyo is currently selling them and thus they will be glaced

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:21

The difference between HP and Nibelung is Nibelung created the moon goddesses to run Teyvat (it’s weird that they appear human but that’s neither here nor there) while HPs shades are literal shadows of himself. One is a creation, one is an embodiment of themselves.

Smooth_Shine_40152026-01-20 21:26

HP> Abyss Nibelung > Nibelung. Abyss buff is gigantic, Rerir change from an secret agents to that strong in Nod -Krai with only 10% of his intial Abyss power,and i sure Nibelung abuse a lot more.Shades >>Moon Goddess by feats and Narratively,funny ppl think a character can just beat all the Shades being a midgame character.HP destroy 2 Moon while or after the battle with Nibelung,being injured, prime HP would deal with them quickly.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:31

I’m getting dogged by people who don’t keep up with the lore lmao.

xyzqsrb02026-01-20 21:21

Just because they can use abyssal powers doesn't automatically make them stronger than anything in teyvat. Even if the shades are stronger they are definitely in the same realm of power level, not leagues ahead.

>no, it doesn’t. If this was the case, HP would have disposed of them after winning the war of the funerary flame. He instead decided their existence did not affect him. That clearly suggests their power is beneath him and therefore his shades must be stronger.

I'm not even sure what you mean by this, he did destroy them (at least 2/3) after they were weaponized against him through Nibelung.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:24

Surtalogi is a world destroyer what do you mean 😂 the only reason, speculated, that he hasn’t destroyed Teyvat is because he loves his home. Other than that, he’s an embodiment of the abyss’ will. He’s very blatantly stronger than anything in Teyvat. It’s not even an argument.

As for the other two, one is omniscient and the other is speculated to be a mirror of HP himself.

Edit: forgot to mention that the massive narwhal that threatened to destroy Fontaine and possibly all of Teyvat was literally his pet. 😂

xyzqsrb02026-01-20 21:27

I never said anything about surtalogi, so I'm not sure how that's relevant to anything I said. I'm talking about shades and moon goddesses here.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:28

“Just because they can use abyssal power doesn’t automatically make them stronger than anything in Teyvat” if you’re not referring to the sinners here then who are you referring to?

xyzqsrb02026-01-20 21:34

Mostly referring to Rhinedottir who is attached to a shade atm, which is what I thought you were referring to when bringing up abyssal powers. My original comment was very clear that my problem with your statements was about the moon goddess' vs shades lol.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:42

I mean it’s not though, you mentioned HP destroying two of the three moons but you failed to mention he did that after he defeated an abyss imbued Nibelung (we’ve been shown obtaining abyssal power is an insane power buff) and was in a weakened state. If he could do that, why wouldn’t his shades be stronger than the moons. They weren’t even made when Nibelung was abyss imbued. (So the weaker version of Nibelung created these moons and was beaten at an empowered state by HP so it makes sense that HPs creations are stronger)

Also, Ronova destroyed an entire nation with the flick of a wrist. The moon sisters have no such feats.

Inner_Skin_7982026-01-20 21:39

We don’t know what Surtalogi is capable of. Everything we know about him came from Skirk and what Skirk knows was anecdotal, told by Surtalogi himself. So we have no idea whether what is said about him is true or not. The sinners are strong but we should stop overhyping them when we know nothing about them besides each of them getting a 1/6 of the abyssal power. Is 1/6 abyssal power enough to make you stronger than a shade? Who knows.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:43

Yes. Yes it is. (Gaining authority of the abyss) And we do know that Rerir washed the team and only got beaten by the element of surprise. He was at 10% power. He’s also, by far, the weakest of the sinners.

As for Surtalogi, you’re right that most of his lore is anecdotal, however, the all-devouring narwhal is capable of destroying worlds and this is literally Surtalogi’s pet.

Inner_Skin_7982026-01-20 21:46

You do know that at that time Columbina has not become a trilunar goddess yet right? She was barely trying to survive and if it werent for Durin and Albedo, she wouldn’t even have the power to challenge Rerir. And from the AQ, Rerir was using Kuuvakhi, which is whose power? Columbina’s.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 21:48

So you wouldn’t say she had 10% of her power? The point is that it was a cakewalk for a guy who was at or maybe even less than 10% power and is also considered the weakest of the sinners. The traveler, who was able to put up a fight on two separate occasions against the powered up doctor, despite being very outmatched, stood not even a glimpse of a chance against powered down Rerir.

Inner_Skin_7982026-01-20 21:53

We can argue about this all we want. But at the end of the day, it’s all speculations because there’s still a lot that needs to be uncovered before we can say who’s strong and who’s not. But my point still stands: we still don’t know much about these beings so there’s no point in debating who’s the strongest among them.

titeefelix2026-01-20 22:30

She is.

The Moon Sisters had authority over and control of Teyvat’s rules, which is essentially the role the Shades fulfill today.

If you reach friendship level 6 with her, there’s even more detail where she says she could remake Teyvat and its rules if she so wished.

GettingWokeUp2026-01-20 22:38

titeefelix2026-01-20 22:45

After reaching friendship lvl. 6:

*"After acquiring tri-lunar authority, Columbina naturally had some questions:*

*Could this power really do everything? What should she use it for?*

*\[...\] What she loved was the way this world and her home looked now. Changing it at will just because she could, molding its appearance and rules to suit her own whims... She felt that would be wrong. No matter how good her intentions, doing so would make her no different from The Doctor, she felt."*

This is what Columbina’s profile says about her tri-lunar authority.

The only established limit was that she was unable to reanimate Sandrone, though it’s not specified whether that was due to limited authority over life and death or simply because Sandrone is an artificial life form.

*"She even tried to wake Sandrone up. But that was one of the few things this trilunar power could not accomplish for her."*

You may not like it, but the lore has already made clear the role the Moons had over Teyvat.

WeakRip19692026-01-20 21:21

Marrows were not where authority of moons lied though, and kuvaaki is her power its not like she cant get it back at her whim

PandiTati2026-01-20 21:42

Why do you think Dottore needed the artificial marrow and why he used the Eternal and Iridescent ones to become a god? Dottore's artificial marrow was uniquely able to overcome the limitation of being rejected by the "new world", thus leading that unlike Columbina, he could use the Three Moons' power without any restraint.

Columbina got the direct authority but marrows still are powerful objects carrying an imprint of divine presence of moon Goddesses.

Yet Kuuvahki is literally her power, part of her, that she gathered to return, for the fight, but returned to the land after it:

> And now, I shall return my Kuuvahki to Nod-Krai again, that it may continue to protect my chosen home.

> Wait! But what about your body...

> I am only returning to Nod-Krai the part of me that it needs. I am giving what I can... Because my home is worth it.

Tell me Columbina did not become weaker and Traveler wasn't scared she might disappear again at all.

> I'm not saying she can't return

I also didn't say she can, exactly because this part is left ambiguous. But it is vaguely implied that she can, since it's literally a part of her

Miserable-Meringue-92026-01-20 21:23

Columbina doesn't need any other moon marrow since she already posseses the trilunar authority. It's just like Neuvillette who doesn't need any hydro gnosis to wield full authority over primordial sea.
Also Columbina didn't use the other two moon marrows to show how stronger she was against Dottore.

PandiTati2026-01-20 21:45

[deleted]

Clean-Willingness5602026-01-21 01:16

Which kind of is absolutely irrelevant since she can mobilize it all at will. Her dumping Kuuvahki back to Nod-Krai was bassicly so local flora and fauna depended on it still have acces to it.

Inner_Skin_7982026-01-20 21:32

She doesn’t need the marrows since she has already become a tri lunar moon goddess. She now has full authority( meaning divine right and power) to the three moons. The marrows are merely physical vessels. Think of marrows as pathways that allow those who do not have the authority for that power to be able to use it. Columbina does not need this as she is the divine moon goddess. And she only gives her body to Nodkrai. This doesn’t necessarily take the power away from her but rather secure her power because by doing so, she was able to reborn. Basically she separated herself into three parts, allowing her to escape the divine prison and reclaim her full trilunar authority with body as kuuvakhi, soul as the anchor, and authority in the frost moon.

dearmusic2026-01-20 22:07

Well, you see, the moment Columbina gain a name in the world of Teyvat, she's bound by the fate system and is registered into Irminsul, basically giving up and being in compliance with Teyvat's laws.

Not only that, the whole moon is now within the false sky, right within Teyvat's gravitational grasp. I say the full registration has been done, and now the world admin has power over her.

WeakRip19692026-01-21 03:00

Well

markcan_killua2026-01-20 22:34

I feel like the people arguing that the shades are still stronger forget that the lunar authority system predates and is essentially the same that of the shades ‘rules’.

Also remember dottores words when he first got the marrows ‘reason, life, death and space, they all believed I would fail’ and ‘teyvats primordial power never did belong the throne of heaven’

basically implying one: the shades powers weren’t originally the HPs. And two: he acquired the marrows in the first place cos he knew it’s the original source power that would rival or even surpass the power of the shades.

think of it as windows (columbina) vs mac os (shades)

WeakRip19692026-01-20 23:20

Ofc people just ignore facts as usual

titeefelix2026-01-20 23:23

I think this discussion still exists only because people love power-scaling (which I personally think is nonsense), but only until it favors a character they don’t like.

The narrative makes it very clear what the Moons’ role is and their level of power, as well as the full extent of tri-lunar authority.

titeefelix2026-01-20 22:36

She definitely is.

Friendship level 6 with her specifies that she could remake Teyvat and its rules if she wished, and that she simply hasn’t done so because she doesn’t feel the need and believes doing so would make her like Dottore.

That places her at a power level far above the Archons, Sovereign Dragons, and others. Even though she donated part of her power to maintain Nod-Krai, she notes that she kept enough strength to defend her land. Exactly how much power she still has is a mystery, but the fact that she can remove some of Teyvat’s restrictions on the Traveler, a Descender, is a clear sign that she remains extremely powerful.

Even compared to Surtalogi, it’s never been specified if he faced anything on the level of the Shades before leaving Teyvat. So until the lore explores him and other characters with similar potential more fully, Columbina is indeed the most powerful character introduced so far.

EDIT: this is what the game says about tri-lunar authority.

*"After acquiring tri-lunar authority, Columbina naturally had some questions:*

*Could this power really do everything? What should she use it for?*

*\[...\] What she loved was the way this world and her home looked now. Changing it at will just because she could, molding its appearance and rules to suit her own whims...

*"She even tried to wake Sandrone up. But that was one of the few things this trilunar power could not accomplish for her."*

Artistic_Cable62182026-01-22 10:12

Yes, but no. She can’t change Teyvat order, because PO is superior. And shades not least powerful, because they have administration of Teyvat order more than Columbina

Sushibae_gamer2026-01-24 12:29

I think she's def a little below the shades in power but she can somewhat change Teyvat's order if we're talking about manipulating the world and administration. Her friendship 6 implies that she definitely can change the world using the trilunar authority but we don't know the extent since she doesn't want to actually do it
