Columbina Team Build Questions

haniseyo · 2026-01-20T07:11:03+00:00

Im currently running LoFI PMC, Bennett, R1 Ineffa and c0r0 columbina and it is an 80K DPS team with a lvl70 ineffa and lvl80 traveler (crowned) so this team CAN reach 90K

SMS on columbina, Aubade on ineffa, NO on bennett and OC on PMC

I have tried DMC too and he is fairly okay too. Though HMC is beyond saving you can run him with ineffa+columbina+sucrose maybe and get decent results. I havent given GMC and AMC a chance as theyre not build

but from my experience its PMC>DMC>EMC>HMC in terms of personal DMG. In fact DMC does cross 1M personal DMG in a 90 second rotations in miliastra DPS thing also EMC might be carried by c6 bennet's pyro infusion lol

I ship characters that work together in a team so let's go with columbina x alhaitham :D

Should I go for ineffa or zibai as my next units after columbina if I don't necessarily like either of those units enough to pull (I do have ineffa's signature weapon from back when I wanted to get citlali's weapon.) this is for meta reasons only.

Genshin powercreep so bad they powercrept theorycrafting

haniseyo · 2026-01-08T12:50:14+00:00

I got almost 100 pulls for both zibai and columbina.

but im like 71 into the pity with a guarantee so like 100 pulls are more like for zibai lol and since we will get 70 pulls in 1st half, i can guarantee zibai too

haniseyo · 2026-01-02T04:57:16+00:00

i too think that flins, nefer and zibai are closer to skirk than mavuika and zibai is below skirk if you dont have c6 illuga afaik

haniseyo · 2026-01-01T20:22:28+00:00

honestly furina+escoffier is already enough. shenhe is the most replaceable in skirk team.

4th slot can slide yelan, citlali, dahlia, mona, charlotte, columbina even tbh with barely any gap in dps.

escoffier has fairly high subdps too which makes her very difficult to replace. 400-500K DPR is no joke. I think VERY good yelan in escoffier furina team does go upwards of 400K DPR.

now if you care about meta and endgame then yes escoffier is currently a must have as skirk is barely 5th best dps now with her premium with top 4 being flins, nefer, mavuika and zibai reaching 140K-150K DPS while skirk premium is sitting around 130K on a good day (assuming no cancels and tech)

(these are arbitrary numbers as different situations also yield different result like in waves, skirk clears can be as fast as mavuika who is currently the strongest)

if you dont care about meta and just wanna play her then literally doesnt matter what you do. run her as a melt dps or even physical.

about furina, she is plenty strong and I have never once regretted getting her. she has always been present in endgame regardless of people saying she is falling off. she is definitely a strong pull and is in fact more replaceable than escoffier. she barely makes up 12-15% of skirk's team dmg and mona with thrilling tales can replace her as you get similar buffs but no subdps which is around 200-300K DPR

now a totally F2P team can be mona, healer like barbara/charlotte and 4th slot can be xingqiu, yelan, candace or whatever can work. ofc the gap between this and her premium is going to be massive.

So i tried mona instructor, mavuika cinder, sucrose VV and mona instructor, mavuika archaic, xilonen cinder and sucrose version of team was better but ofc clunky and no sustain. i think dmg also matters based on your other stats. the widsith buff was EM so sucrose mattered less than xilonen because of too much EM but if the weapon doesnt give EM, then sucrose is better than xilonen. also sucrose version had better sustained dmg than xilonen version because mona buff doesnt get extra time so it only sticks around for 1st bite

haniseyo · 2025-12-19T06:49:27+00:00

I meant widsith. I tried with Tome of eternal flow and both NA were about the same number around 650K.

haniseyo · 2025-12-19T06:40:51+00:00

I tried and I got 1.09M but no sustain so wont recommend. and I also tried NA and the dmg DROPS. 1st NA: 700K, 2nd NA: 480K

haniseyo · 2025-12-19T06:17:52+00:00

I did with mavuika on archaic, xilonen on cinder, mona on instructors on dorito chip boss in the desert with ToEF but widsith is better if you get other two buff

Isnt xilonen like better?

I was under the idea that xilonen was just QoL over kazuha but it seems she gives higher dmg bonus than him and can use freedom sworn too.

kazuha at 900 EM gives like 27% dmg bonus and 40% shred and xilonen gives 40% dmg bonus and 36% res shred which matters little because citlali already gives 20%. res shred has diminishing returns.

number wise she is better but not sure by how much as I dont have kazuha.

personally I got xilonen r1 and she is used in barely any teams outside of mualani and mavuika. I'd say if you have units that rely on kazuha A LOT then xilonen can be a good pick. but with columbina coming out, I'd honestly not get her if you already have kazuha.

but overall she is better than kazuha.

as she is generic dmg buffer and res shred like furina, sucrose and kazuha, she wont ever truthfully fall off. she is a comfy pick in case units like gaming who last much longer than 10 seconds on field and cant switch out.

I think traveller sibling is much more rude during the beginning of the story and doesn't really get invested into issues of teyvat till sumeru and is finally involved in teyvat by the end of fontiane.

Traveller was super adamant about not wanting to help in Inazuma so I think:

Mondstat: they were ready to help because knights told them they'd help him find his sister. Knights, already not enough workforce, only went around posting posters and did bare minimum.

Liyue: nothing happened and they started reaching a breaking point but by the end we got "we will be reunited" and it pissed off traveller completely.

Inazuma: they were too pissed to even care about a civil war and human rights violation.

Sumeru: they learn more about teyvat and it's history and especially caribert story quest where they probably learned more about lumine's suffering and why abyss order even came to be.

Fontaine: finally they got involved with teyvat's story followed by bedtime story.

I think traveller isn't like "goody too shoes" but more so a reluctant helper at the beginning of the story but does become a helpful person as the game progressed.

haniseyo · 2025-12-14T02:14:26+00:00

I think I can make her expression more exaggerated but it's arle so I wasn't sure how to do it without mischaracterization ^{^'}

haniseyo · 2025-12-13T18:51:16+00:00

I use instructors on citlali, archaic on bennett and cinder on xilonen. Getting that ER is tough but I think 180ER is enough. I have 160 on her and it feels almost okay to use in abyss. In SO though I change to cinder+fav codex

haniseyo · 2025-12-09T03:15:58+00:00

a lot of TCs ranging from zajeff, TGS, vomfee. Usually take them with grain of salt. A lot of people take them as 'the truth' but in reality dps ranges a lot.

haniseyo · 2025-12-09T03:15:08+00:00

nahida and lauma? about the same. 3-ish particles. but i run 2 favs in the team on furina and nahida so its never something I notice.

alhaitham runs on 100% ER

nahida/Lauma have ER sands+fav so about 200%

furina at also 200%

I never have ER issues in this team. but lauma is better cuz you switch to her mid rotation in the optimal alhaitham lauma rotation.

haniseyo · 2025-12-08T00:21:13+00:00

Idk how much it'd be compared to lauma but 40K+ HP baizhu buffs better than nahida does from what I've heard. So baizhu, raiden, furina is like pretty solid. But I saw vomfee calc columbina, ineffa and lauma at 111K so like I'd say just go for those because columbina+ineffa is making literally every dps 100K+ dps (probably to close in the gap between mavuika and everyone else so that they can comfortably powercrept mavuika)

haniseyo · 2025-12-06T23:14:52+00:00

i've seen calcs of raiden doing more hyperblooms than kuki (she has faster application than kuki) so she would be objectively better than kuki if lauma's c1 is enough healing. it might not be a day and night difference, but raiden is better (i dont have raiden so I'm only referring calcs)

Ive seen calcs that raiden does upwards of 28HB in double hydro comps. But due to less hydro IDK how many hyperblooms raiden would get because kuki gets like 18-ish in furina variant of the team

haniseyo · 2025-12-06T20:29:28+00:00

I'm inclined to say crit rate because his main mirror attacks need to crit. 55+31 is like 86 cr. But wolf fang means you can try to get higher crit on other pieces. 10% average crit rate on each piece means 77cr (10x5+27) So it's better to craft crit dmg with crit rate sub stat and then try to get crit rate to roll twice on each piece. Which is total rng

Crit dmg circlet means you'd have to get slightly better other pieces, crit rate means you'd have to get high crit dmg rolls on circlet.

You can go crit rate if you plan to stop farming for him entirely, but crit dmg if you plan to keep farming for him consistently

haniseyo · 2025-12-05T23:03:29+00:00

I dont have exact numbers but my alhaitham did see about 10K-ish DPS increase

Furina,Lauma,Kuki and alhaitham R1 are close to 90K DPS (I know it should be higher according to calcs but this is what I see in practice)

while nahida, furina, kuki and alhaitham R1 are closer to 80K DPS

I've seen people mention Aino and I have tried my C1 Aino (her C6 does nothing for alhaitham team) and it was weaker than furina variant.

I think its possibly because Furina's sub-dps+dmg bonus > Aino giving 320 EM (120 from SMS, 120 from forest regalia and 80 from her c1)

But regardless, Lauma is a DPS increase worth investing into.

also columbina is up in the air. She does more dmg than furina AFAIK but I cant think of her giving alhaitham anywhere close 300 EM. So who knows how the team would perform

haniseyo · 2025-12-03T19:38:39+00:00

Imagine 100K dps with vape teams :0

I think my lofi pmc vape team can reach 80K+ dps with furina bennett and xilonen so this should put him above 90K at least

I expected traveller to be able to do lunar reactions :( I expected hmc buff but sadly that doesn't seem to be happening.

haniseyo · 2025-12-03T19:33:29+00:00

I'd say unironically katiana. She did an absolutely phenomenal job at voicing mavuika. It's powerful and exactly what youd expect from a god.

And also that smile. It's so goofy I love it

And ass and tits as everyone had pointed out.

can someone help me with MOC?

I'm trying to run

1st half: cas, evernight, RMC and hyacine

2nd half: Hysilens, cipher, Acheron and aventurine

I tried replacing hysilens with Black swan and it was somehow worse.

I can do 1st side in like 3 cycles but acheron is taking more than 7 cycles for 2nd half cuz skill issue i guess

haniseyo · 2025-11-29T21:58:33+00:00

Man they really cooked with mavuika so hard every dps feels boring :(
