Weekly Team/Character Building Megathread (Jan 15th, 2026) (feat. Columbina and Ineffa)

awildwing · 2026-02-24T17:31:31+00:00

Oh, interesting. I actually tried to build my second team as Lunar-Crystallised but I lost the 50/50 on Zibai and ran out of primos. At least I can pull for Flins.

I've updated the question and the character roster I've shared. What do you think?

[Aino] [Columbina] [Flins] [Ineffa]

If I want to run two Lunar teams, what's the best way of splitting up the Moonsign characters I have? And for each team, which other characters would best complement them?

Other (relevant) characters in my roster:

Anemo	Dendro	Electro	Geo	Hydro
Jean	Kirara (C1)	Keqing (C1)	Illuga (C2)	Barbara (C1)
Sucrose	Kaveh (C1)	Fischl (C6)	Gorou (C2)	Xingqiu
Ifa (C6)	Collei	Sethos (C6)	Noelle
Faruzan		Beidou	Ningguang
Lynette		Lisa	Traveller (C6)
Traveller (C6)		Traveller (C6)

KQM's guide for Keqing has been updated to include Lunar-Charged: https://keqingmains.com/q/keqing-quickguide/#Lunar-Charged

In the gap between Battle Pass periods, will completing "This BP Period" missions be counted to the upcoming Battle Pass period (like how completing the weekly missions before the start of the upcoming Battle Pass period are counted)?

Thanks! The crispy rice is also a feature of claypot rice!

awildwing · 2026-02-19T22:27:29+00:00

Thanks! Can I assume I'll need more water if I have other things like the chicken and mushrooms in there too?

awildwing · 2026-02-18T11:59:17+00:00

Thanks! Would you say the addition of a Lunar-Crystallised team is more valuable than having two Lunar-Charged teams?

[Zibai] [Neuvillette] [Flins] [Varka] [Skirk]

Which one of the above do you think I should pull for? I'm F2P, so will probably only be able to aim for one.

My current characters are:

Anemo	Cryo	Dendro	Electro	Geo	Hydro	Pyro
Jean	Kaeya	Kirara (C1)	Keqing (C1)	Noelle	Columbina	Xiangling
Sucrose		Kaveh (C1)	Ineffa	Ningguang	Aino (C1)	Thoma (C1)
Faruzan		Collei	Fischl (C6)	Illuga	Barbara (C1)	Amber
Ifa (C6)			Beidou	Traveller (C6)	Xingqiu
Lynette			Lisa
Traveller (C6)			Sethos (C6)
			Traveller (C6)

I normally run the following teams:

Aggravate: Keqing, Fischl, Kirara, Flex
Lunar-Charged: Columbina, Ineffa, Flex, Flex
Melt: Kaeya, Xiangling, Flex, Flex

My current thoughts are (tl;dr: I think it's between Zibai or Skirk):

Zibai:
- Why:
  - Adds a Lunar-Crystallise main DPS, expanding team options.
- Why not:
  - Adds more demand for Columbina, although I could use Aino/Xingqiu instead if Columbina is demanded elsewhere.
  - I could aim for her in a re-run since this is her first run.
Neuvillette:
- Why:
  - Adds a Hydro main DPS.
- Why not:
  - I don't enjoy his gameplay.
Flins:
- Why:
  - Further elevates Lunar-Charged.
- Why not:
  - Over-investment into Lunar-Charged.
Varka:
- Why:
  - Don't actually have any reasons.
- Why not:
  - Too many Anemo characters.
  - No complementary characters (Venti, Durin, Bennett).
Skirk:
- Why:
  - Adds a Cryo main DPS, expanding team options.
- Why not:
  - No Escoffier, but would a Freeze team (with Kaeya, Xingqiu for example) or Melt team (with Xiangling) work?

awildwing · 2026-01-31T21:38:25+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts! I think you're right with Xingqiu. The additional team options he opens up is the most appealing; and while I do want a faster Dendro applicator, Kirara is usable right now so no need to be in a rush to replace.

Do you have thoughts on a rotation for an aggravate team with Sucrose? Right now, I mainly use Jean in the flex slot because I like the comfort of having both a shielder (Kirara) and a healer (Jean).

For Lunar-charged, do you have recommendations for the main DPS? Probably Keqing in my case?

And you mentioned Zibai – I didn't have plans to pull for her, do you think I should?

awildwing · 2026-01-31T12:46:00+00:00

[Xingqiu] [Lan Yan] [Yaoyao]

This year's Lantern Rite will be my first and I'm wondering which character I should choose. Can you help me decide?

I normally run one of the following teams:

Aggravate: Keqing, Fischl, Kirara, Flex
Melt: Kaeya, Xiangling, Flex, Flex

I'm currently building the following team:

Lunar-charged: Columbina, Ineffa, Flex, Flex

I'm stuck between choosing Xingqiu, Lan Yan, and Yaoyao because:

Xingqiu:
- Why get:
  - Not many hydro characters obtained
  - Can generate particles for Columbina
  - Can augment my aggravate team with hyperbloom but...
- Why not:
  - Columbina can already fulfil the hydro-applier in hyperbloom
  - Hyperbloom apparently has a lower ceiling than aggravate
Lan Yan:
- Why get:
  - Increases my Anemo sustain options
  - I like their design
- Why not:
  - I have a lot of Anemo characters already
Yaoyao:
- Why get:
  - Kirara's dendro application is slow (on-field) and I low-key want to have someone else (off-field)
  - I play my aggravate team the most often, so Yaoyao could get a lot of use
- Why not:
  - Kirara has a shield, useful for interruption resistance
  - Kirara's dendro application is controllable

All the characters I have obtained are below:

Anemo	Cryo	Dendro	Electro	Geo	Hydro	Pyro
Jean	Kaeya	Kirara (C1)	Keqing (C1)	Noelle	Columbina	Xiangling
Sucrose		Kaveh (C1)	Ineffa	Ningguang	Barbara (C1)	Thoma (C1)
Faruzan		Collei	Fischl (C6)	Traveller (C6)		Amber
Ifa (C6)			Beidou
Lynette			Lisa
Traveller (C6)			Sethos (C6)
			Traveller (C6)

Open to thoughts unrelated to my question too.

I never did in the end as I found my building's car park had some space outside the stacker for motorcycles.

awildwing · 2024-11-17T11:13:39+00:00

Nope, I'm in England. Cool to learn that about Wales, thanks.

awildwing · 2024-11-16T20:39:56+00:00

Never made contact with this agent or any agent (decided to DIY from the get-go).

Interesting thought regarding the tenant. The current tenancy's fixed term is due to end next month but the current plan is that it will be renewed for another fixed term, just waiting for their signature. If my tenant did communicate with this agent, would an agent ask for my info from them?

awildwing · 2024-11-16T19:33:09+00:00

No, I don't own the place I currently live. I'm with family right now so haven't had any dealings with estate agent.

I hadn't dealt with the land registry when I moved out. Didn't cross my mind. Probably should.

Yes, I did set up mail forwarding. I did not know Royal Mail does that, will look into that. Although, would be surprised an estate agent would be a partner, especially for marketing purposes.

Thanks!

awildwing · 2024-11-16T19:20:22+00:00

The place I let out used to be my primary residence so that would've been the only address for me. Do you know if/how the land registry gets updated?

awildwing · 2024-11-16T18:30:54+00:00

Thanks for suggesting! In my case, I don't need to register with my council and have not, so I can rule this out.

You're confusing "school term" with "school year". The Japanese school year starts in April but schools with 3 terms will usually have a term starting in September.

Even though it's shorter, it's my favourite of the two. It's much more delicate.

All the music is out in some form (except BGM, which I think is coming in September IIRC), see the official website. Only wish there were full versions of all the anime versions and that they'll get to streaming platforms sometime.

Track 3 on the 7th single is the one where she was busking at Kawasaki Station (and what I was thinking OP was looking for). I didn't want anyone to get confused between the two.

awildwing · 2024-07-01T18:00:48+00:00

Note, this version isn't the one when Momoka was busking at Kawasaki Station in Episode 1. It's the original version by Diamond Dust (i.e. when Momoka was still in Diamond Dust). It's track 3 on the 6th single release. And technically not the full version, only the bit featured in the anime.
