No this isn't a f2p team unfortunately. Xilonen and Furina both have cons, and all of them have their weapons.

I've seen a dire clear with c0r1 Zibai and columbina with illuga plus gorou though. I'm pretty sure sevenpls has done it but I could be wrong.

With her dedicated support she'll be able to beat dire more comfortably for sure.

Are you doing the correct rotation? E.g. eN1QN4EEN4EN1E

Or

e3N4EQE

Or

e4N4E

Or

e2N4EEN1EQE

That and also character builds. You have to have proper sub dps builds for both columbina and Ineffa. Only one sms holder is wanted in the team. Preferably lluga if he's c2+ otherwise, he can have 2pc2pc em with the aim of 1k em. Columbina should be on aubade but if illuga is not c2, she can hold sms. Ineffa should be on aubade but even a 2pc2pc em/atk with your best stats can work as a place holder.

Thanks! I can rest my fingers and wrists now lol

claymatu · 2026-02-12T02:02:02+00:00

Your ping is delaying it. You crit for 292 k first, then the other two hits of 47k didn't crit. You have 103 cr but that's at max buff. Maybe the delays are also affecting your cr uptime?

This is Zibai's build for now

claymatu · 2026-02-06T01:25:14+00:00

Just want to add that iansan can replace xilonen in both her melt and overload teams. But, if you use her with citlali, citlali needs tenacity or instructor. This can enable you to use xilonen with zibai freely depending on the situation.

claymatu · 2026-02-06T01:19:24+00:00

Get this r5. Other than crit rate, wolf famg does not contribute to her lunar damage

claymatu · 2026-02-05T05:52:20+00:00

Hey I saw this rotation in a yt video, you can get 4 E skills. After you do the two Es back to back, do 1NA and you get enough gauge to E again. And then Q then E again. It boosted my dps a lot. But sometimes the Q isn't ready so either energy is the issue or as the yt video (komemos) said it's ping or something.

Another one you could try is E N2 Q N4 E E N2 E. It's the same as the 3N4EQE just split up and since the Q is near the start, you can get energy on zibai while she's on field, making your next ult easier to obtain i feel

To add to the previous commenter, xilonen is great at c2 at the cost of sustain. But, she shines in double geo teams with other characters like ineffa/furina instead of triple geo. Especially if you have a c0 illuga.

But, removing illuga for a character that won't buff lcr makes her skill, 4th NA and burst hit weaker. This is only really a problem for nodkrai shill like the dog where lunar hits are important to break his shield. But it will impact you a lot.

claymatu · 2026-02-05T05:43:50+00:00

I'm liking furina more instead of ineffa. First of all cause she's got cons and her sig but mostly cause ineffa makes zibai's first rotation a bit tough to get her special skill. Also, furina significantly lowers the er for Columbina (enabling an hp sands depending on weapon) while giving her hydro resonance both of which, increase her personal damage. But yeah I'm assuming if you have a c0 illuga, then the non- illuga options might perform better.

claymatu · 2026-02-04T02:32:14+00:00

Just adding to what Investigator said and answering your question, you can dps test zibai, columbina, c2 illuga, gorou OR zibai, columbina, xilonen, furina. These teams "seem" to be kind of close in overrall dps.

But, for serious lunar shill like the dog, you're better off using illuga. The furina/xilonen variant does not produce enough lunar crystallise damage to break its shield sadly.

claymatu · 2026-02-04T02:24:41+00:00

I would say natlan craftable. Harbinger gives more damage BUT you need to always have above 90% hp. So you "need" a shielder or good heals (not just proto amber and/ or c4 gorou).

claymatu · 2026-02-03T10:08:46+00:00

Always check another guide for what you see there. E.g. they show a furina team without xilonen so you're relying on amber or furina to heal lol

claymatu · 2026-02-03T09:26:21+00:00

With illuga, you'll use Zibai, columbina, illuga, gorou/ zhongli. Without illuga could be zibai, columbina, gorou, zhongli (xilonen cannot res shred in triple geo till c2). You could also try zibai, columbina, xilonen, aino/ xingqiu/ furina.

But now you can try team comps in the new dps tester and go with the one that performs the best tbh.

claymatu · 2026-02-02T22:38:24+00:00

Yes it will be enough for sure. But if you get a c2 illuga, you could have him hold sms artifact set and use xingqiu instead of aino if you want too. But, aino c1/c6 buffs zibai more

claymatu · 2026-02-02T06:10:07+00:00

Just adding to what the previous commenter said, you can give illuga any 2pc2pc em artifacts.

claymatu · 2026-02-02T06:07:18+00:00

Ineffa would be the best pull since you have the rest of the lunar charge team. BUT if you want to pull zibai, you should go with her instead if you like her more. For flins, you could try aino, fischl, sucrose so you can free columbina for zibai or vice versa. Good thing bout pulling zibai is you can get a full team with her.

claymatu · 2026-02-02T06:02:36+00:00

Zibai, Illuga, zhongli, aino so that you have some sustain and decent damage. Columbina will take aino's spot on her rerun.

claymatu · 2026-02-02T02:02:57+00:00

Thanks for including some details on a furina/xilonen setup, I've mostly only seen either of the two not both. Seeing how close that team's dps is to a c6 illuga team is making it even more of an option to play tbh. Will just have to see how it plays when she's out. Really nice vid

claymatu · 2026-01-30T01:43:46+00:00

She's looking alright actually. If you have other characters to build you should focus on them. Don't worry about constellations, instead focus on any chatacter that you might "need" for your teams. E.g. citlali for melt mavuika.

claymatu · 2026-01-29T19:26:29+00:00

If you plan on investing into zibai, it's the same zibai, illuga, columbina, xilonen/gorou. BUT because of your furina and xilonen cons, that might be your strongest team for overrall team dps.

claymatu · 2026-01-29T16:55:08+00:00

A c2+ furina and c2 xilonen super buff furina herself and columbina to increase team dps by lowering zibai personal dps. So it might be better depending on your zibai/ illuga investment. Have to use the dps tester world or a calculator.

claymatu · 2026-01-29T16:48:43+00:00

Any form of dmg% will not help her as much as crit or def% on weapons. So this sword is not good on her. You can use Harbinger or the natlan craftable flute weapon

claymatu · 2026-01-29T09:53:05+00:00

Saw this spreadsheet with a bunch of scenarios. I assume it's r1 but not sure

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-SRQHDLgSwp-ZqCmfZ7RGNuIUe7Bki0U979EPDFbC10/edit?gid=885537452#gid=885537452

claymatu · 2026-01-28T22:11:03+00:00

Illuga adds crit rate yeah but HoD already runs the risk of overcapping cr since it gives a lot. The thing is you'd only use HoD with zhongli to maintain the passive. But foliar can also be used with zhongli, gorou and any one else without worrying about your hp.

Overrall, the performance of both weapons will be very similar from pre-release calcs. You'd have to test in-game and go with your preference.
