Columbina's Best Teams & Character Synergies
Welcome to our Columbina team composition guide and character synergies overview for Genshin Impact. In this guide, we'll explore the best teams to build for Columbina, including recommended characters, character synergies, and Team Compositions to help Columbina reach her full damage potential.
Best Pairings and Synergies With Columbina
Columbina is a highly flexible character, able to work great in all Lunar-reaction teams, those being Lunar Charged, Lunar Crystalize, and Lunar Bloom. This is because Columbina provides the necessary Hydro to trigger elemental reactions, while doing massive damage of her own, and providing great buffs to the reactions. Columbina will also enable all three Lunar-reactions herself, allowing them to be used even without another Nod-Krai 5 star unit on the team.
Columbina excels when paired with other 5 star Lunar characters. Their Lunar Reaction buffs from their Ascension 4 talent will stack with Columbina's. Since these characters deal the vast majority of their damage from Lunar Reactions, they will also benefit greatly from the Lunar Reaction DMG % provided by Columbina's Burst. Pairing Columbina with one of these characters will also provide Ascendant Gleam, allowing the use of things such as the Silken Moon's Serenade and Aubade of Morningstar and Moon artifact sets. Examples of these characters are:
4 star Nod-Krai characters can also be good to pair with Columbina, as they will provide +1 Moonsign for Ascendant Gleam, while also having abilities that synergize well with Columbina's teams. Jahoda can heal, provide extra Hydro application, shred resistance with the Viridescent Venerer set, and if C6 she'll also provide all Nod-Krai characters with CRIT buffs.
Illuga can provide CRIT and Elemental Mastery buffs while also buffing Geo damage for your on-field unit. Aino will provide additional Hydro application, 25% HP, and allow Columbina to run less Energy Recharge. If Columbina is used on-field, she will also benefit from Aino's EM and Lunar Reaction DMG % buffs from her C1 and C6.
Dendro characters can pair well with Columbina thanks to the Lunar Bloom reaction. Some Dendro units will provide good support, while others can perform well as your on-field DPS, either in a pure Lunar-Bloom team, or a Quickbloom team.
Some of the most notable characters include:
Geo characters can pair well with Columbina thanks to the Lunar-Crystalize reaction. This reaction not only deals good damage, but is also treated as a Geo Construct, giving particularly strong synergy with characters like Zhongli, Chiori, and Illuga.
Some of the most notable characters include:
Hydro characters pair excellently with Columbina, as she scales off HP, so Hydro Resonance is good for her damage. Many Hydro units also scale off HP, so this will be good for their damage as well. Columbina also tends to have high Energy requirements, and having a second Hydro character can help alleviate this. Having two sources of Hydro application can also be great for allowing more reactions to be triggered, such as allowing a Pyro unit to get more instances of Vaporize.
Some of the most notable characters include:
Electro characters can pair great with Columbina, particularly if also using Ineffa. Having Electro particles from two sources will allow Ineffa and the second Electro to run little to no ER. The extra particles from Electro Resonance will also help lower Columbina's own Energy requirements. Many Electro units also scale well with EM, so the many different EM buffs Columbina's teams can provide, such as Silken Moon's Serenade, will be of great use.
Some of the most notable characters include:
Anemo characters can shred resistance with Viridescent Venerer, while providing some buffing or damage of their own. Sucrose is the most notable, as she provides a large buff to the team's EM, which is of great use in Columbina's teams. Jahoda also stands out as a great option, particularly at C6, as she'll provide healing, extra Hydro application, and buffs to EM plus CRIT for Nod-Krai units.
Some of the most notable characters include:
In Lunar-Charged teams, Pyro characters can trigger both Vaporize and Overload. Likewise, they can also make great use out of all the EM buffs the team will have from sources such as Silken Moon's Serenade, Sucrose, and Ineffa. Note that Hydro characters with particularly fast application, such as Hu Tao, will need a second source of Hydro on the team.
Some of the most notable characters include:
