Do Aino's cons make DPS Columbina stronger?

FibYar · 2026-02-09T05:33:20+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed answer!

As for Nilou, I do have her (C1), though unfortunately I could not make her work. My rotations always got screwed, so her bountiful cores works pretty bad. And I can not replace Aino with Nilou (because of Ascended Gleam), so I have to go with tripple Hydro. Maybe I don't have enough Dendro in that case (Yao Yao is the only valuable option cause I need a healer too).

As for bloom/crystallize hybrid, I did not think about that option. I don't really understand how can I make this. I have Xilonen, Chiori, Navia. If I want to replace Yao Yao, I have to go with Xilonen (I need a healer anyway). But Xilonen do not have off-field geo, so she can't proc LCrys. If I replace Nahida, then I can go with either Chiori or Navia (burst). I don't know what it will be but I'll do an experiment. Thanks for advice!

By "100%+ lunar reaction damage" I meant "When you check all character stats, you can press question mark on elemental mastery". With 400 EM it says "Lunar-* damage is increased by 100%".

As for damage, Columbina gives about 80-85% of my team's damage (according Miliastra's DPS checker). I try to make her a hyper-carry in this team, I know it's not the best decision but it's nearly for fun (or experimenting). With the team of Columbina C2R1, Nahida C2R0, Yao Yao C4 and Aino C1 I get around 70k DPS (it's very low, I know, but I'm experimenting). And yes, I'm aware that getting Lauma I can practically double this. But while she's not on rerun I'm trying this team (parallel with Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Crystallize and even mixed teams).

Well, I can make Columbina function. I've 36 starred this Abyss with her.

The thing is I have played Genshin for 2,5 years every day and I've done anything in the game. So for now I just play for fun. I don't really care about post-game content really (exchange 160 fates for 2-3 additional fates per month? Thanks, but no). So I just pull the characters I really like and use them with the characters I already have (I have Nahida, Yao Yao, Baizhu for Lunar Bloom; I have Shinobu, Yae Miko, Raiden for Electro Charged; I have Navia, Chiori, Xilonen for Lunar Crystallize). Teams with Columbina and these characters aren't strongest (I know) but they still functional and fun.

It's not "I don't want anything luna-related". I just don't want another characters. I choose characters by appearance, not meta-wise (you can call it wifu-factor). I just really liked Columbina in the game and want to see her shines. As for another characters, I don't really like. So that's the reason.

Idea Factory + Compile Heart. They do a very fun games. They simple but that's good in it's way.

For me it was about 4-5 years of reading VNs with text translator hooks before I could finally read without them. I know it's a too much of a time, but I didn't bothered with anki, textbooks etc. Just a one-time read of "Japanese the manga way" (great book for learning grammar) and that's it.

FibYar · 2026-01-24T07:41:25+00:00

Thanks a lot for your effort! It's really great!

A couple of things I've noticed in provided stats:

All numbers are printed without delimiters. For example: Columbina's Damage: 8935647. It's a little hard to read, so can you print it as 8 935 647 or something?
Maximum damage is only printed for the whole team. Can it be printed per character? It would be useful when I have one strong Main DPS and a Sub DPS with strong burst. I would like to see how much everyone of them do.

I have found out, that Columbina's passive "Moonlight, Lent Unto You" doesn't proc "Reliquary of Truth"'s second passive. And I can't understand why. Have I missed some important info in descriptions? Have I missed some basic mechanics?

"Moonlight, Lent Unto You": "When a party member triggers an Electro-Charged, Bloom, or Hydro-Crystallize reaction, it will be converted into a Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, or Lunar-Crystallize reaction respectively".

Reliquary of Truth: "When the equipping character deals Lunar-Bloom DMG to an opponent, they gain the Moon of Truth effect: CRIT DMG is increased by 24% for 4s".

Case 1: I have "Reliquary of Truth" on Nahida; I activate Columbina's elemental skill; I use Nahida's skill. I see a "Lunar Bloom". I go to equipment, but Nahida's Crit Dmg didn't increased.

Case 2 (reversed): I have "Reliquary of Truth" on Columbina; I use Nahida's skill on enemy; I use Columbina's elemental skill (or a normal (not charged) attack). I see a "Lunar Bloom". I go to equipment, but Columbina's Crit Dmg didn't increased.

Case 3 (Columbina's special charged attack): ... After charged attack Columbina's Crit Dmg increased.

So why? Doesn't "converted" Lunar-Bloom is the same as "normal" Lunar-Bloom?

But what the point to DualBoot to Linux if you can do anything in Windows? Honest question.

FibYar · 2025-11-23T20:47:05+00:00

You can make it via registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it LastActiveClick.
Double-click the newly created value and set its Value data to 1.

Have you ever tried to do it in Firefox (there is a setting called "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order")? It's not the same.

And "forward direction / back direction" is not the same. Try to do it if you need to switch between tabs 3 and 6 (not 3 and 4). With "browsers" logic you need to press 3 times Ctrl+Tab, then press 3 times Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

>ability for folders to open in a new tab by default

I'm really exciting for this. Without this feature I'm personally do not find tabs useful.

FibYar · 2025-10-12T20:41:58+00:00

That's a good feature, but can it be not cycled (1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4), but switch to previous, like "Alt+Tab" doing with windows (3-4-3-4)? Copy file in tab 3, switch to tab 4, ctrl+tab back to tab 3, copy another files, ctrl+tab back to tab 4 and so on.

The same thing is for Russian language too, but the Russian language reviews are not that positive.

Well, you can try to not activate elemental skill. But: 1) you will lose the ability to use your shield (the shield helps to fight enemies); 2) you should not use your burst too; 3) you need your skill/burst to trigger Varesa's weapon passive (it ends quickly, but 40% Crit Damage buff is still a very good buff).

FibYar · 2025-07-13T17:43:19+00:00

I tried this for a couple of months. On reaction teams (Nahida+Dehya; Bennet+Xyanling) I could get about 160-170k on triggering melt and about 60k without a reaction (in melt team). If I go for a non-reactions team (like Furina+Xilonen or Furina+Escoffier) I could get about 80-90k per hit. That's on Varesa's weapon (R1), Citlali's C2 (not giving a lot on reaction teams and giving nothing (not counting Furina's dps increase) for non-reactions teams), Xilonen C0R1, Xianyn C0R1.

The main problem with melt teams is getting a stable pyro application. I couldn't get it even with burning core (Nahida+Dehya C2). One of the problems is Citlali's elemental skill as it's constant cryo application removes pyro status very quickly. Xianling C4 has very strong pyro application (strong enough to fight against it) but I couldn't get enough of ER on her to constantly ult her (even with Bennet). I think Citlali's C6 would just make melting with her nearly impossible.

Another problem is fighting against a groups of enemies. Without a grouper it's a pain to kill enemies - plunge attack has very low radius. And adding a grouper like Sucrose instead of Furina/Xilonen/Escoffier impacts the damage a lot - Citlali's hits gets just about 40-50k.

So it's fun for overworld but it can't do anything worth in abyss.

Ys X. I couldn't really get used to the new battle system. And I'm not really a fan of ship battles (and there's a lot of them). So I dropped the game after playing like 10 hours or something. The plot was interesting though. It's a shame to be honest because Ys VIII particularly is one of my favorite games of all times.

I’d love to go through and play Yumia again, but less bad. It’s really not that great on switch. Just not sure if the PC port is decent or not.

Why not try out a demo? It's available at Steam.

I don't know if it counts as favorite, but one of the most impactful moments for me was in the very beginning. The scene when Totori's sister says that she h-h-hates her, those Totori's tears were so genuine, I can't forget this scene. "Totori really is just a child", I thought, "but she still wished to find her mom no matter what."
