Daily Questions Megathread (January 28, 2026)

silken moon serenade

an average Aubade should surpass a good Gilded for Ineffa
but ya, SMS on Columbina

VA was changed and yes

Do you have Iansan? She's actually pretty good there, for Scroll and more ATK buffs, and Dehya holds Deepwood. Ororon also functions similarly, but not as good (and only buffs ATK if C6).

Otherwise, I'd probably go for Yaoyao tbh. She has the most consistent Dendro app (assuming you stay healthy with Bennett burst) and the others all have uptime issues.

Durin is also an amazing buff for Kinich if you happen to have him. Zhongli can also shield+shred Dendro. Or just slap on another Pyro off-field DPS like Xiangling, since Kinich doesn't particularly need Dendro resonance or even Dendro app that badly.

Can you post screen shots of all the characters/weapons you own, we won’t be able to give you the best advice without knowing what the rest of your account is like

Raiden, Ineffa, Bina, Sucrose should be a pretty decent team, and fulfils the quota of having a 'Lunar Shill' team for the forseeable future, so I'd recommend going for them now while you can.

Ayaka, needs Escoffier to be considered anywhere near 'meta', so I'd consider picking her up when you can. Which means losing Sucrose isn't as big a deal, because Escoffier replaces her anyway.

And for the third team, up to you who you'd like to go for, just pick a DPS that you like. Ideally not Skirk who would replace Ayaka on her team, Flins would replace Raiden. Nefer+Lauma or Zibai+Illuga could still be decent teams without needing to steal Columbina, but the people saying they're 'the top DPSs in the game' only mean with Bina. Without, Nefer is like 110k and Zibai is only a little above that, still 'meta' and probably top 10 DPS, but not 150k DPS #1 contenders.

But a Hexerei team with Varka could be decent (we'll have to wait and see), Nicole might turn out to be a DPS somehow, or one of the other Durin buffed teams like Kinich, Clorinde, Navia, etc are all decent. Mavuika and Mualani are the other 'top' competitors you could consider, but Mualani's 'top' team would steal from your other two teams so you'll only have a decent team for her, or have to do some shuffling, and Mavuika is a little tricky to play 'well'. Or you can just wait for something new, like hopefully a Quicken buffer.

Also consider with a lot of pulls like that, maybe going for a C1 or R1 on a DPS you like could be an option. If you like Chasca or Arlecchino or someone else that people are saying is 'good, but not great', their C1 and/or R1 might be enough to make them very 'meta'. At least for anyone Fontaine or later.

One Lunar team with Columbina in it should be fine, Escoffier to make your Ayaka viable (I'm not sure how good of an idea that is without Furina tho).

Varka is indeed not looking too good, and even if he turns out good in the end he'll still want like 2 or three other 5 stars in his team.

If you are worried about losing out wishes from endgame, still don't pull for chararcters you don't enjoy playing, you won't make back the investment.

It never changed.

You can fight weekly bosses at discount resin rate for 3 fights, but never the same boss.

You can fight them as many times as you want, but we have always only been able to claim rewards from 3 unique bosses per week

You're probably remembering from one of the other gacha games

Pretty sure it's coming on the next version. It's always delayed some versions, not sure if to not "spoil" stuff or because they need to rework/pick what items make it into the pot... but I feel this time got delayed more than others.

If you use him as an off-fielder, Winds set will work fine for his damage, but you're probably wanting him to VV for someone else, otherwise why is he on that team. If you really want a 'set and forget' set, just go for VV, he can still be a 'driver' for off-field DPS even if you're using him on-field with buffs, and will still be useful off-field.

For VV, he can be used as an onfielder and an offielder. For the new set, he can only be used as an onfielder

PAmber is goated weapon, get SacJade as it's a good weapon for both Columbina and Nuevillete and you can swap as needed.

Durin has Lion/Fav which is already good enough for now.

no other NK characters other than a free Aino, i guess
hyperbloom is kinda ok. an onfield Columbina, youd want a second hydro rather than second dendro

no point adding just Columbina to a Varesa

do you have any other nod-krai 5*?

Assuming you don't have anyone else from Nod Krai? I'd try to get Ineffa if you have any pulls left over.

Otherwise, she can kinda work well in a Varesa team, can kinda work in any Taser team, can kinda work with any Geo DPS, and can kinda work on-field in a Bloom/Hyperbloom team. She'll be fun and different, but not necessarily the 'best' option for those teams, or enough to make those teams go from unable to clear endgame, to suddenly able to clear.

For abyss 2nd side used Columbina, Aino (to have 2x lunar for Sigurd boss), Fischl, Kuki (heal, but this abyss you can use heal card). So you can use Sucrose or Ororon, etc. whoever you have, can use Varessa if you want. It's not "best" in any way, but with abyss buffs it works against all 3 bosses that are weak to thundercloud.

For geo lunar teams default "standart" is geo DPS: Noelle, Navia, Itto, or new Zibai + Columbina + Furina + Xilonen/Zhongli.
Columbina is mainly buffing other Nod Krai lunar 5-star characters.

put simply, you arent getting any chance for the other ones anytime soon
so go for Skirk sig depending what else is on the same phase
if Escoffier comes at same time, and of course you have Escoffier, that would be a great banner to pull weapon

Do you actually like Ineffa enough to pull her?

ZIbau gets a dedicated team
Bineffa can be used with various other characters
so just make your pick
youll have time to save for Nicole

Zibai on Night Sky, Illuga on Silken if C2+, Bina on Aubade, Zhongli on Tenacity (HP) if you're lazy isn't that bad, Instructor (full DEF) is probably optimal for EM buff and Ascendant Gleam bonus stacking, and the GT (ATK) build isn't really worth it in this team.


If you don't get C2 Illuga, either live with low Silken uptime, or put that on Zhongli and Instructor on Illuga instead.

neither
save the pulls. none of those cons have relevance

Switch them.

Heck no. Flins cannot create a shield, so he cannot trigger the Fractured Halo team buff. You'd lose 40% Lunar-Charged DMG *team-wide* by making that swap.

Definitely not. Those two do close to equal damage at equal investment, and Flins can't use the most important part of fractured halo's passive.

C2 allows for more equipment flexibility. She's ER-hungry and wants both HP% and ER on her weapon and sands piece (vice-versa), but C2 allows you to comfortably run ER on the sands and use her sig weapon instead of an HP% weapon. She typically wants 160-180% ER for duo hydro, more if she's solo; less with Raiden/Favonius users.

Furina's burst is by far the most important part of her kit, so ER requirements are non-negotiable. Count ~200% at a baseline, minus ~20% per additional teammate hydro skill or fav proc.

You'll see that, if not running an ER weapon, it becomes *very* difficult to meet these requirements without an ER sands. The value of a non-ER weapon is therefore always offset in part by the need to run ER sands instead of HP. This takes a meaningful bite out of the added value of Furina's sig and makes it generally not worth getting until c4+ when her ER reqs are greatly lowered.

[KQM has all the details you want](https://keqingmains.com/q/furina-quickguide/).

"Good enough" is never the consideration. Only "does this new artifact improve one of my builds" and "are my artifacts now hard enough to improve that farming something else would give better expected value".

I judge based on all 5 artifacts' roll value on akasha. I like having an RV of 2300-2600+ minimum depending on how many main stats that DPS needs (Nefer needing EM & Crit vs Mav with ATK EM Crit vs Xiangling needing ATK EM Crit ER). Or I base it off how high my rank is on akasha, i.e. wanting to build a top 20% build then cut it off when I'm done with that.

For individual artifacts it's either they improve the build or they don't. I go to the reshape/transmuter when I notice that one particular artifact is lagging behind or is offset, which could allow another offset god artifact in my bag to take over for another piece

Everyone is different. For me it’s 35+ substats or better. Most of Reddit is casual so most players don’t count or even know.

Always NO, at any investment level. 2-piece/2-piece is only worth considering if someone else has NO already.

NO, unless your Escoffier already has it.

On first glance, I would imagine that there isn’t a clean rotation for the team as the boss will start you without energy and will give you a ton of energy when you lunar the shield. https://youtu.be/d-w6cwFX8lM Looks something like I imagined of Columbina skill, Ineffa skill, Sucrose normals and skill, Fischl skill, and then when it gives you enough energy to burst on Columbina you can burst on her and rotate through your teammates for when their skills and bursts are off cooldown. Spending more time on Sucrose on field, alternating between skill and burst for Fischl, and using Ineffa burst when you have it will probably be enough.

those started at 3 lines, and first upgrade unlocks 4th line

Save enough for Flins C2 > Columbina C2 > Ineffa weapon >= Ineffa C1 >>> Columbina weapon

You don't need either, but if you really want to pull for a weapon, Ineffa's is more useful.

saving from 6.4 to 6.6 should get you enough for Nicole, if that helps
Columbina is great
but Zibai might not help if you end up using Columbina on Flins team

tbh for a Navia team, i was really tempted to go for Ineffa after Columbina, and use Navia with both, cause you get two kind of crystalizes quickly filling Navia ammo (of course you can use other electro than Ineffa, just not as good

https://hutaobot.moe/tools/gachacalc

You currently have 250 wishes and get around 80 a patch.

So right now you have 100% chance at one, 87% chance at two, 36% chance at 3.

With 330 wishes, 100% at one, 100% at two, 76% at three and 32% at four.

410 wishes, 96% at three, 69% at four, 29% at five

So whatever distance out you think a character you want could be, adjust for their potential run and how many primos you potentially could have. Then it’ll give you a probability for success and you can adjust your expectations accordingly. Ranking the characters you want with how much you want them and then using tools like this can help narrow down your options and help build a schedule

mostly decide between Ineffa that with Columbina could be added to many other character teams(almost anything thats not dendro or cryo)
or Zibai that really needs her own dedicated team that ideally has Columbina

of course something like a Lauma rerun later is ok too
as is, i think best team without other 5 stars has Bina, Aino, dendro and electro with onfield Bina. but wont compare to the others

Ineffa.

Columbina without another 5-star Nod Krai character is not really useful, so it is recommended to get one. Ineffa works well with Columbina and this duo is flexible. You may also consider to pull Zibai of the second half of current version, and they will do more damage but also more restrictive. You may also consider to save enough to get both Nefer+Lauma when they rerun.

nefer sustainless > flins, nefer with sustain, zibai with illuga c2+ > zibai with c0 illuga > flins without ineffa > nefer without lauma 

You can use Kaeya or another cryo character to freeze the water and walk over to it, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRp_FUuljl8&t=320s

cant find calcs for after Nefer
c2 Lauma is a very easy yes
40% LB damage and doubling her burst, so even more damage. im not sure about the order of the damage increase

Compared to her C1, in a Nefer Lauma Columbina team, around 33% overall team damage increase if Nefer is C0, around 27% overall team damage increase if Nefer is C2, around 23% overall team damage increase if Nefer is C6.

I would say it is the highest priority of vertical investment in lunar bloom team.

DPS Columbina (with Aino) is better but requires an entirely different artifact set on Columbina so if you'd only use it temporarily then that might not be worth it.

We don’t have concrete stuff about Sandrone at the moment so trying to predict the future is hard.

Escoffier is decent if you want to play cryo teams more frequently. Cryo hasn’t been as relevant as other elements for a while, but it definitely can still be a viable option

we heard geo, we heard electro
first time hearing of Sandrone to be cryo

i really love my Ayaka, but at c0 i dont think that will impress you
supposedly Skirk+Escoffier might rerun together. id consider trying for both
you can actually put Ayaka into the same team, to make her burst

If you get enough energy recharge on him that you don't need favonius lance, then dragon's bane as an EM stat stick works well.

A. I would start with Columbina skill and Ineffa skill before you leave the box, then Xilo/Sucrose

B. Could you put them on your profile and then plug your uid into akasha? While the two characters are strong together and against that particular boss, they still want to deal damage so that you can clear the shield in time. Also Fischl might be a solid slot over Xilonen as the added shred might be less valuable than another damage source, but I haven’t tested it myself.

first off, there is no use starting with Xilonen. you want her to cause a reaction for whatever you have on her, which is typically scroll set, or could be an Instructor set in this case
and although she has shred, you already have that from Sucrose, so no point not adding something else instead of Xilonen

i would seriously add Lauma, but a Columbina in that team would really prefer being onfield with the dps set, and add Aino instead of Sucrose

Calamity > Deathmatch, unless very refined >craftable

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fxxft0E8tUsxPC0A3H7hczvi4DHiJCHkKtUC6Wy-soI/edit?gid=995152937#gid=995152937](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fxxft0E8tUsxPC0A3H7hczvi4DHiJCHkKtUC6Wy-soI/edit?gid=995152937#gid=995152937)

its mainly a story focused game so theres nothing to worry about. The game has some built in tutorials in the early area to sort of teach you the games mechanics as well.

well endgame is endgame. thats gonna take some effort and planning
(and to be clear, even endgame, all of them, has parts that are easier to do, so it is extra income over time)
anything else, you would be able to do it with anything you choose
there isnt really anything to be afraid of

It's a very casual friendly game with lots of single player exploration and storytelling. None of that requires being at endgame, comparing yourself to others, having in-depth understanding of combat, or have OP characters.

At worst, it's a LOT of content built up over the 5 years which can feel intimidating, but you can just enjoy it one piece at a time and not rush (talking hundreds of hours, but it's time playing the game which is fun). Second is the questing is very verbose and dialogue heavy and can take a long time and get boring if you do it too much at once if you don't get engrossed in the story/characters (some later quests are 2-3 hours, mostly yapping). But if you are enjoying the characters/story/world building it's enjoyable (still too long imo).

But anything regarding combat has a pretty solid difficulty/learning curve imo. You will need to spend some time/brain power learning how to take advantage of the combat basics, but not until like 50 hours in and by then you'll have the *very* basics down so that the tips wont sound so incomprehensible.

Tap in any team where Lauma is the support so she doesn't steal verdant dew from the main dps (Nefer). Where Lauma is the on fielder, like hyperbloom or Nilou bloom, you can hold skill.

uses up those halfmoon things on the right.either Nefer, or if no Nefer, Columbina, do more damage when using those

Without Bina holding Lauma’s skill steals all the dews needed for Nefer’s uptime. Dews have a limit of one per 2.5s, and you can only hold 3 normally. So when you swap to Nefer for damage she is stuck waiting on dew generation. Which is obviously bad for dps. Pre Bina you’d still have a bit of wait time on Nefer even if you tap skilled on Lauma. Hold skill Lauma was out of the question.

Bina basically fixed this with her burst adding 3 more slots for dews that generate at the same time as normal dew, so Lauma can hold E with no issues any more in Nefer’s best team

* In Bloom/Hyperbloom: **Hold E.** Gives more quills for her Q to buff more Bloom/Hyperbloom. Only Lauma can use the Verdant Dew so may as well let her.
* In Nefer team without Columbina: **Tap E.** Lauma Q gives enough quills on its own to perfectly buff all of Nefer's CA Lunar-Bloom DMG. Nefer needs *all* the Verdant Dew to do her E+3CA.
* In Nefer team with Columbina: **Hold E.** Columbina gives extra Verdant Dew, enough for both Nefer and Lauma. And Lauma needs the extra quills to cover Columbina's E occasionally triggering Lunar-Bloom DMG.

Yes. Only the discount is temporary

if you have deleted past resources, then yes as the new account will need those quest resources

Partially depends on difficulty of content you're aiming for. For just F12 Abyss, splitting into 2 Lunar teams is viable/efficient. But if goal is Fearless SO, then 1 stacked, premium team is better (your current Nefer team is Fearless viable as is).

I'd recommend not having 2 Lunar teams for reasons you mentioned. Probably better to start saving towards another meta team that doesn't overlap. Skirk, Neuvilette, or a Hexi team all seem to be upcoming options.

If you love Zibai's character/playstyle and aiming for more casual endgame goals, fun>meta. You could probably get a C or R for Nefer to pull her into comfortable (though slightly weaker) Fearless clears without Columbina giving you 2 Fearless teams at mostly be the same cost allowing you a quick second F12 team now and later 2 Fearless teams when Nefer reruns allowing you to have best of both worlds but does pigeonhole you to Lunar for options for a while.

You already have Nefer/Lauma/Bina. Technically you could get Zibai, and in that case you would have two teams at around 120kish DPS, instead of one team at 150k DPS. Lunar team problem when it comes to end game is that there is only one Columbina.

I'd say that unless you just really, really like how Zibai plays when she comes out next week to just start saving and seeing what starts to come out in the future. We don't know where Hoyo is going to go from here, but they have shown in this version and last version that they really, really like releasing matched pairs. So any character or team you want to play in the future you probably want to make sure you have enough wishes saved to also get their partner.

Your goal is to eventually have 3 strong teams with no overlap. By the time you’re ready for fearless/dire SO, the meta will have probably powercrept forward, or a new shill mechanic is forced. So the problem with pulling for Zibai is that she wants Bina on her team. Not as much as Nefer, but Bina will be part of Zibai’s best team. So you’d be forced to run one of your two only invested teams at 80% power. And if the power creep/shill trend continues like it has been, then an 80% Nefer or Zibai team might not be good enough for the future. Without more cons obviously.

Personally unless you really like Zibai, I’d skip and start thinking about pulling/building a team that doesn’t use Lauma, Bina, or Nahida

I'd still say "pull who you like". Only you can guess if and when you want to challenge the Stygean Onslaught, and that will always change to favor the latest characters. If I read that right, you're not exactly in the middle of the end-game modes.

I'd be more concerned about rotations.

If you can record yourself with these teams and then show yourself fighting the dummy, that'd be ideal. Try to do 3 full rotations.

what's your world-level?

Sure, 771530266

Just keep Columbina on silken moon. Ineffa is definitely much better off on aubade than gilded though.

basically, unless your Columbina is more invested than your Ineffa
then Bina is the one that wants SMS more. mainly for that 2p ER

Yes, from the moment you start NK AQ act 5 until you finish act 8.

More specifically unless you're on mobile and downloading the AQs as you do them, Selenic Chronicles stops being available once you finish Nod-Krai AQ Act 4 as Act 5 gets automatically accepted after. Also you can only do the first two sets of Selenic Chronicles at this point. The last set doesn't unlock until after Act 8.

put it on some other characters, for IT maybe
or feed it into new artifacts.
thats it

Feed to typewrighter. You need 2 lvl20 per reset.

It does not. You can stop at 80/90 to max her talents and finish her ascension

nope

not worth it for the people that dont invest a lot
c2r1 > c3 rather easily

something where you add Layla or Citlali?
pvp isnt really something most can answer

The one near the underground waypoint? Climb the box on your side.

82k is a lot for a team with 2 4 stars on it

The game thinks those artifacts have a good main stat and at least 5 rolls of good substats (including base rolls, not just upgrades) for the character you're looking at.

The game isn't necessarily *right* about this. For example, it thinks ER is good on Nefer. I believe it tries to detect what's good by looking at stats about what players are equipping.

If you don't mind reactions, MurderofBirds is a great lore enjoyer to watch. If you just want to watch it yourself, search "No Commentary Genshin Quest xxxxxxxx" on YT

Flins will work better, but Neuvi is easier and F2P friendly. If you aren't laser-focused on beating endgame asap, go for Neuvi imo. If you are wanting to do endgame and don't want any 'wasted pulls', get Flins and have some savings for Ineffa rerun eventually.

neither, if you only have columbina and you want the best end game team you should be pulling for zibai in a few days, between the two remaining flins does significantly more damage compared to neuvilette even without ineffa

Neither. Your good options are:


- Pull Ineffa now, and then Flins next patch.


- Pull Zibai... and hope Linnea in 6.5 is a lunar crystallize support as the last leak suggested (we will know her kit before the Zibai banner end).


- Pull for Lauma and Nefer when they rerun. 

The glider will still be there just keep in mind it's still going to be time gated behind Columbina's weekly quest. Once you do get there and start the quests it'll take 4 months to get the wings if you do it weekly

The glider will be permanently available. But the way you get it will be time-gated, you can only do 1 quest per week so the sooner you start the better.

The glider takes months to unlock and the area to unlock it is only available once you've done the first 2 acts of the NodKrai Archon Quest.

If you quickstart it now, you'll just spoil the story since NodKrai is basically a callback to the past Archon Quests and World Quests.

Also so far, no one has even unlocked it yet.

Traveler for consistency, Collei (C6) for buff and application rate, Yaoyao if you need healing.

Just search "Achievement"

Lmao no.

It takes a lot of unique games to get a high level.

Just type achievement or exp, and don't play the same games.

You don't have a great use for Bina as-is, and none of your stuff should be coming back in the near future, so yeah I'd strongly consider getting Ineffa. Or Lauma if you prefer Bina DPS.

You need Ineffa to get any usefulness out of Columbina. Ineffa would be more useful to you than any weapon.

As long as it's a supported controller you should be able to use it. If this is about Android, they added controller support to that awhile ago now.

If you've connected a supported controller to your phone, you can go to settings in-game and select it as your control type. You'll need to do that each time you run the game.

Bina EQ > Nahida EQ > Nilou EN3 (or EN2E if you want slightly more AoE but worse single-target DPS) > Lauma hE Q > Bina 6[C or CD] 


If this is your side 1 team, might be worth dropping Nahida or Nilou for a team healer

Bloom/Hyperbloom doesn't have regular rotations like most builds. For example, Lauma's Skill has a 12s CD while her Burst has a 15s CD and you want to be doing both as frequently as possible to keep generating quills. So over time you'll swap to Lauma just to do a Hold E, swap to someone else, then swap back to Lauma a few seconds later use her Q. Neither matches well with Nilou's 18s E CD. It's really just using Skills on CD which comes from experience and sneaking in NAs where you can.

the icon (which is their face) shows up on the map.

If you go to the map and press the button in the bottom right that brings up the tabs for different regions, it'll say at the top of that where the anecdotes are.

For a list of them you can use [this checklist](https://seelie.me/anecdotes).

Technically not that much because both give like 1/12 of their stats to the reaction. However Lunar-charged scales of level (and EM) and why would you not lvl90 Sucrose? Her swirls scale of level and EM too.

Depends on your exploration. Goes from easily to impossible. With no informations about your progress how should we know?

Very easy. We get 1600 primogems from the mail daily starting tomorrow for 5 days, which is enough time to claim before the banner switches over. Monthly shop reset is also coming for another 5 pulls.

That is 15 pulls already for free. Dailies give roughly 2 pulls, IT also refreshes soon so that one depends on how far you can go. Lantern Rite starts tomorrow for a total of 1060 primogems. At least 23 pulls minus IT in total.

Edit: Even if you discounted the mail primogems, some light exploration would still be able to get you to your goal.

how about Durin or Venti?
and do you have any of the other NK characters?

Refer to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbina_Mains/s/8SnRk3rNtq) chart for all of your questions. Silken is great for her since she likes the ER 2pc bonus, and she'll want a good amount of ER as solo hydro

its a waste

They were never worth it imo.

Well, Ineffa + Columbina is strong and flexible and its damage is higher than Lauma + Columbina unless you also have Nilou, Nahida or even their cons. But the point is that if you pull Nefer, Nefer + Lauma + Columbina will do much more damage than Ineffa + Columbina without Flins. If you pull Zibai, Zibai + Columbina also does more damage than Ineffa, through this team is restrictive.

Anyway, the main point of Ineffa is that she is more flexible and the other teammates can be most characters as long as they don't mess up electro-hydro aura on enemy.

Lauma team, youd want Columbina on main dps set, and you basically just add more dendro or hydro, and few others elements are useful. like Zhongli's universal shred.

Bineffa can be used with many other characters(preferably not cryo or dendro) so how it compares depends on what your other characters are, but you can just add a Sucrose for huge amounts of damage

NOTE: some people do run both Ineffa and Lauma with onfield Bina

Probably not.

The more crit and ATK the better, with the highest ATK x (1 + CR x CD) value. She is not required to use her burst every rotation, and her ER requirement is usually less than 130% when she uses burst every other rotation. Some EM are fine, but worse than crit and ATK.

Just play as normal and pull new characters. Old characters are benched anyway. New teams do x3 damage over old characters.
Play story and evnts, save primos enough so you get coherent team of 2-4 5-stars that work together. Don't random pull 1 character from this team and another from different.

If you want to continue using the Cryo DPS units, get Escoffier when she reruns, and ideally Furina too.

If you don't care about them that much, just farm primos from all the new content and get some entirely new teams that've released in the last year or two, or save for the next upcoming wave of powercreep. Mona at least had a big glow-up with the Hexerei buffs and has several good teams now.

How much dps? (you can check in Miliastra dummy map).

Likely just a build issue. If C0R0 Arle and Durin, then it's a pretty tight DPS check. Without C6 Chev either, might even be impossibly high.

If Chev isn't C6, I'd try replacing her with Xingqiu or another Hydro applier and seeing if that gives you better results. Even if you can't Vape on the shield, the EC triggers will stop it's regen and give Arle+Durin more of a chance to batter it down.

Also, don't neglect Fischl's build in this team, since the shield resists Electro much less so Fischl's damage is fairly significant.

Is that 72% including her passive? If not, then that's pretty good. If so, then it's not terrible, but of course could be better. But that sort of 300+ CV build WITH other stats won't happen overnight.

>She never does more than 22k with her burst

Her damage mostly comes from her skill which should do a lot more than that (especially since your stats aren't half bad). Either you're not looking right or there's something wrong with your Columbina.

Remember that most of her damage isn't Hydro so maybe you're just ignoring her damage assuming it comes from someone else.

The unfortunate truth is that if you want to beat endgame consistently, you have to put in effort *somewhere*. Whether that's cash for cons/sigs, playing consistently for primos to pull key supports/cons, or spending resin consistently for great builds, or even just practicing the optimal combos. If you're doing none of those, taking long breaks, then you're going to be behind the curve of powercreep, it is what it is.

Lyney, Navia and Clorinde all got pretty decent glow-ups with Durin being added, Mualani is great since you have Mona, Navia can also do a Columbina team that's decent, Raiden can do the same with Ineffa and ideally Columbina too. Cyno can get carried by Ineffa+Bina, probably. Kazuha and Yelan can find uses sometimes, but maybe not consistently with your roster. So yeah, all up you're doing better than an Inazuma enjoyer coming back after 3 years would be, but might need to pick up some of those mentioned above if you want 'better' teams, as all but Mualani aren't considered 'great' DPS units atm.

Or yeah, just build entirely new teams. Skirk+Esco with Yelan+Mualani support, Bina+Lunar DPS (+Lunar Support ideally), or just take your time catching up and save your gems for the next big new thing that interests you. Puling a mid unit then taking a break and coming back to see your new unit isn't even mid anymore sucks, so you gotta try and enjoy playing characters while you can. Or pull a peak meta unit, so even after a break they're still decent (hopefully).

youd kind of like Columbina + Ineffa with any of your characters but notably the electros
hard to recommend just one character, cause its very late. probably still try getting Columbina i guess, then see if second phase Zibai interests you or whoever runs in 6.4

for a Mualani team, id use Pyro Traveler/Xiangling(solo pyro so XL needs more energy than a Raiden team) with a Mona + Sucrose
for Clorinde i use overload team with Chevreuse a lot.
cant help with the rest

Are you using the Fontaine craftable catalyst, Flowing Purity as her weapon?

¿Estás usando el catalizador fabricable de Fontaine, Pureza fluida como su arma?

Golitsyna?
