Zibai Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Zibai build guide for Genshin Impact. Zibai is a 5-Star Geo Main DPS Character who focuses on the Lunar-Crysallize reaction. In our guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Zibai, from building the best Artifacts and Weapons to important stat priorities and rotations.

Best Weapons for Zibai

Listed below are Zibai's best weapons. While weapons are listed in a priority order, what's best to build on your Zibai can vary depending on the team composition and level of investment you want to put into Zibai.

Lightbearing Moonshard

Legacy of Lang-Gan

Base ATK: 542

CRIT DMG: 88.2%

Increases DEF by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40%. DMG inflicted by Lunar-Crystallize reactions increases by 64% / 80% / 96% / 112% / 128% for 5s after the equipping character uses an Elemental Skill.

Lightbearing Moonshard is Zibai's signature weapon and will be her best in slot build option providing increased DEF as well as additional DMG from Lunar-Crystallize reactions.
Uraku Misugiri

Brocade Bloom, Shrine Sword

Base ATK: 542

CRIT DMG: 88.2%

Normal Attack DMG is increased by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% and Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48%. After a nearby active character deals Geo DMG, the aforementioned effects increase by 100% for 15s. Additionally, the wielder's DEF is increased by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40%.

Uraku Misugiri is a great 5-Star option for Zibai providing 88.2% CRIT DMG, 24% Elemental Skill DMG and 20% DEF making it a great option for any DEF-Scaling DPS.
Peak Patrol Song

Halcyon Years Unending

Base ATK: 542

DEF: 82.7%

Gain "Ode to Flowers" after Normal or Plunging Attacks hit an opponent: DEF increases by 8% / 10% / 12% / 14% / 16% and gain a 10% / 12.5% / 15% / 17.5% / 20% All Elemental DMG Bonus for 6s. Max 2 stacks. Can trigger once per 0.1s. When this effect reaches 2 stacks or the 2nd stack's duration is refreshed, increase all nearby party members' All Elemental DMG Bonus by 8% / 10% / 12% / 14% / 16% for every 1,000 DEF the equipping character has, up to a maximum of 25.6% / 32% / 38.4% / 44.8% / 51.2%, for 15s.

Peak Patrol Song provides a massive amount of DEF through both its main stat and passive effects, allowing Zibai to fully meet her DEF requirements with ease. While the damage bonus itself is not particularly strong, the sheer amount of DEF it offers makes it a very solid option, outperforming most F2P alternatives due to its raw stat value.
Splendor of Tranquil Waters

Dawn and Dusk by the Lake

Base ATK: 542

CRIT DMG: 88.2%

When the equipping character's current HP increases or decreases, Elemental Skill DMG dealt will be increased by 8% / 10% / 12% / 14% / 16% for 6s. Max 3 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s. When other party members' current HP increases or decreases, the equipping character's Max HP will be increased by 14% / 17.5% / 21% / 24.5% / 28% for 6s. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s. The aforementioned effects can be triggered even if the wielder is off-field.

Splendor of Tranquil Waters provides an extremely high CRIT DMG bonus, making it a strong stat-stick option for Zibai. Its low ATK stat aligns well with Zibai’s DEF-scaling playstyle, and while the additional Skill DMG bonus is not particularly impactful for her kit, the overall 5-star stat value still makes this a competitive option.
Cinnabar Spindle

Spotless Heart

Base ATK: 454

DEF: 69.0%

Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 40% / 50% / 60% / 70% / 80% of DEF. The effect will be triggered no more than once every 1.5s and will be cleared 0.1s after the Elemental Skill deals DMG.

Cinnabar Spindle is a great 4-Star option for Zibai providing insane amount of defence and also provide skill damage based on defence, making it a great option for any DEF-Scaling DPS.
Flute of Ezpitzal

Smoke-and-Mirror Mystery

Base ATK: 454

DEF: 69.0%

Using an Elemental Skill increases DEF by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% for 15s.

Flute of Ezpitzal is shaping up to be a great F2P build option for Zibai, providing 69% DEF from the weapon itself as well as another 32% DEF from the weapon's effects.
Harbinger of Dawn

Vigorous

Base ATK: 401

CRIT DMG: 46.9%

When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 14% / 17.5% / 21% / 24.5% / 28%.

Best Artifacts for Zibai

Night of the Sky's Unveiling

Night of the Sky's Unveiling

2-Piece Set: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.

4-Piece Set: When nearby party members trigger Lunar Reactions, if the equipping character is on the field, gain the Gleaming Moon: Intent effect for 4s: Increases CRIT Rate by 15%/30% when the party's Moonsign is Nascent Gleam/Ascendant Gleam. All party members' Lunar Reaction DMG is increased by 10% for each different Gleaming Moon effect that party members have. Effects from Gleaming Moon cannot stack.

Night of the Sky's Unveiling is currently Zibai's best artifact set. Zibai increases Moonsign level and therefore activates Nascent/Ascendant Gleam and can therefore take advantage of the 30% increased CRIT Rate alongside the Lunar Reaction DMG buffs.

Zibai's Stat Priority

Sands of Eon: DEF %
Goblet of Eonothem: DEF %
Circlet of Logos: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
Substats: Energy Recharge to requirements > CRIT Rate/DMG > DEF % = Elemental Mastery

Zibais best stats to build around are DEF and CRIT with Elemental Mastery being useful but generally a little less of a focus than DEF. A Geo DMG goblet should not be used as it does not contribute to Lunar Crystallize damage.

Zibai's Talent Priority

Talent Priority: Heaven and Earth Made Manifest > Tri-Sphere Eminence >>> Golden Blade's Petaled Touch

Zibai's most important talents to level are her Elemental Skill and then Elemental Burst. Zibai's Basic Attacks can be ignored for the most part.
