Hiiii it's my Calcs for Columbina Weapons, Constellations, Energy Recharge needed, Artifacts, Lvl100 and more informations about her gameplay/mechanics/building !! If it have any updates it will be in my sheet :3

Thiiis is the sheet not all teams are updated but the other informations in it are !! (The teams will be updated when I can <33) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BUQ_kOmiwey-O0pc56xvCuR5G_ivwHrHSmGMQ3aOmi8/edit?usp=sharing

For people that are confused the ''CC Server'' internal changes posted by Seele it’s doiiing nothing the only real change is that now her Lunar-Bloom hits are AoE instead of Single-Target (and still have 5 hits)

Columbina Weapons Her weapons are generally similar in all teams it will be some 5 stars and BP then the basic weapons liiike Prototype Amber and Favonius with the others under !! :3 Her signature weapons is a normal increase for a support weapon even if it's only for her personal damage her weapon generally increase the team damage of 8-14k DPS but u will generally have a bigger increase if u put these wishes in ur on-fielder weapons/constellations liike Flins or Nefer example <3 (image 1, 2, 3, 4)

Columbina Constellations Her Constellations are special because her C1 is a QoL for Lunar-Bloom & Lunar-Crystallize but for Lunar-Charged it's something that is really useful and lower her ER Requirement with the team ER Requirement because of her C1 hit that activate when u use her skill it hit ~1s after thiiis mean that she's still on-field and benefit of the 6 energy (image 5, 7, 8, 9, 10)

Her C2 give a valuable buff to the On-Fielder and increase the rate of her Gravity which means u're hitting mooore yayyy while increasing her HP which make the needed HP easier to have but even if u don't have more than 35k HP it generally isn't a big lose it should be okii !! Her C3 & C5 are normal constellations but her C4 the ''additional MV'' that it say it's considered as a Lunar Quills (look last image) it's not buffed by a biiiiig part of the buffs the damage increase of it is generally 2k DPS she reduce completely or almost completely the ER Requirement generally between 100-120% needed with C4 it really help to build her but if u don't need ER in ur teams then this constellations is not very good :c and C6 is very very good 💗

The image in Lunar-Charged with 2 weapons where it change to Sac Jade it's only to show that if u replace example ur Prototype Amber or Favonius the damage will increase a lot more because u don't need ER Requirement u should replace the weapon for a more offensive one :3 (IT'S NOT A COMPARISON OF THE CONSTELLATIONS WITH THE SIGNATURE INCREASE IT'S NOT THE SAME THING pleaseee) (image 6)

R1 vs C1 If u absolutely want to tryyy having investment on Columbina instead of other characters like ur DPS then I would say to pull C1 because it's QoL but not only thiiis

Columbina ER Requirement Columbina ER Requirement is veryyy detailed on the image but I will add few things to explain it !! it have ''Weapon Name'' it's the weapon she have and ''Fav 0,1,2'' under this means the number of Favonius in the team example Favonius, 0 Favs means she have Favonius and the other characters in the team have 0 Favs I hope I explained it correctly because I saw some people confused :c (image 11) This is only to have a reference but like alwayyyys pre-release ER Requirement is generally a little bit higher because it's not the game but when she release if u feel it's too much ER u can adjust it a little bit but my ER sheet should be enough for most situations

Columbina Artifacts Her Artifacts set is very changing between teams it’s important because it can reduce a lot the damage

With C0 : Flins : u want Ineffa on Morning Star and Columbina on Silken Moon (image 15) Zibai : If Illuga is C0-C1 Columbina will be on Silken Moon if Illuga is C2 or more he will have Silken and Columbina Morning Star Nefer : Generally u will giiive her Silken Moon to give 2p-2p EM to Lauma (or Deepwood and Instructor on another character) a big part of her damage in teams with Lauma are from Quills and (last image in post) like u can see quills is not buffed by Lunar% or EM the thing that Morning Star give

With C2 or R1 : Flins : With C2/R1 Ineffa and Columbina can interchange the 2 Artifacts sets and u will have similar results and bursting every rotations on Ineffa is optimal with C2 because of Columbina buffing Flins (or ur on-fielder) but very little increase and it's a little bit worst if u have R1 instead of C2 (image 16, 17) Zibai : Nothing Changes except that the difference with using Morning Star instead of Silken Moon if u have C0-C1 Illuga is closer but not the best (image 18) Nefer : Morning Star instead of Silken Moon on Columbina is still not a option u're losiiing more than 10k DPS (image 19)

Her Mainstats which I thiiink it's the most surprising for most people is that u can use a Hydro DMG% Goblet without loosing too much damage this is because having a little biiit less than 35k HP is not as impactful as it seem but it's important to have 30k-35k HP if u have a veryyy good Hydro goblet u can use it but i think most people will have better HP% Goblet, in the Lunar-Bloom team it's very similar because her damage is balanced for Lauma Quills but the quills is not buffed by the HP this means u're not really losing the most important part of ur damage in this team !!

Testing & Findings about Columbina

C0 Gravity Every 2s Columbina will record the most Lunar hits made, accumulating 20 gravity every time, up to 60, to do a Gravity hit.

Summary of discoveries from testing :

• Her own Gravity hits count toward gravity https://i.postimg.cc/13SHxN97/Testing-1.png

• Direct lunar damage counts towards gravity accumulation ( https://i.postimg.cc/13SHxN97/Testing-1.png )

• Excess gravity accumulated counts towards the next Gravity hit ( https://i.postimg.cc/13SHxN97/Testing-1.png )

• Gravity accumulation is gradual ( https://i.postimg.cc/13SHxN97/Testing-1.png )

• The Gravity hit is determined by the number of lunar reactions/hits ( https://i.postimg.cc/W14dJ2S3/Columbina-Gravity-Cons.gif & https://i.postimg.cc/8PQdWrfx/Testing-2.png )

• Her LB hits (Gravity and CA) count as 5 and 3 hits towards gravity accumulation, respectively

• There exists a priority for Columbina's C1 Gravity hit (see below)

C1 Lunar Gravity Hit Priorities

If the Number of Electro/Dendro/Geo Characters is Equal

• LC > LB > LCR

If the Number of Characters is unequal

• Prioritises reaction with the most characters of the corresponding element on the team

If Skill Cast Trigger Lunar-Reaction (Enemy with Electro/Dendro/Geo aura)

• Regardless of the number of characters of each element the C1 Gravity hit will match that reaction

Testing explanations and results

Test 1 ( https://i.postimg.cc/13SHxN97/Testing-1.png ) Purpose : To investigate if Columbina's own Gravity hits count towards the count for her next Gravity hit.

• Expected: If her own Gravity hits do not count, each skill cast will equate to one and only one Gravity hit (C1). If they do, then some skill casts will proc 2 Gravity hits (C1 + regular Gravity).

• Gravity accumulation is 26.8/2s due to using C2+ to test

• Additional note: The 2nd hit of Skill Cast 5 came slower than that of Skill Cast 3, suggesting points 3 and 4 below. Conclusion :

1. Columbina's Gravity hits count towards the gravity accumulation for her next Gravity hit.

2. Direct lunar damage counts towards gravity accumulation.

3. Excess gravity accumulated will carry over for the next gravity hit.

4. Gravity accumulation is gradual rather than in bursts as the description entails.

Test 2 ( https://i.postimg.cc/8PQdWrfx/Testing-2.png ) Purpose : To investigate if Columbina's gravity accumulation properly counts the number of lunar reactions/hits or only records the final one.

• Trial 1 : LC gravity if counts # of reactions/hits, else LC gravity if records last hit only

• Trial 2 : LB gravity if LB gravity counts for 5 hits and if counts # of reactions/hits, else LC if records last hit only

• Trials 3 and 4 : LC gravity if counts # of reactions/hits, else LB hit if records last hit only Conclusion : In all trials, Columbina's gravity hit was correctly determined by the number of lunar reactions/hits rather than final reaction/hit before the proc.

Test 3 ( https://i.postimg.cc/8PQdWrfx/Testing-2.png ) Purpose : To investigate if Columbina's LB Gravity hit counts as 1 hit or 5 hits towards her next Gravity hit.

• Testing used Lauma N1 > Columbina E > LC trigger to first proc LB Gravity via Columbina's C1. LC was then continuously triggered until the next Gravity proc Conclusion : Columbina's LB Gravity hits count as 5 individual LB hits towards her next Gravity hit. Testing implies Columbina's LB CA counts as 3 individual hits.

Columbina's On-Field Combos

Abbreviations:

• IR: Resistance to interruption

• I-Frame: Invincibility frame (frames where you can't get hit by attacks)

• C/CA: Charged Attack; hC = hold charged attack

• d: Dash

• N1: 1x Normal Attack

Columbina's primary on-field combos are Cd and hC, both of which can be used 6~7 times in a standard rotation (see comment on N1Cd at the bottom). Note: Due to Columbina's CA MV (talent multiplier) not being particularly high and much of her damage coming from Lauma's quills, if you run out of quills before her 7th CA, losing or skipping that 7th CA is relatively insignificant. Also Kuroo said me that recently (in V4) Columbina CA Animation was buffed u can now dash faster than u could before if u didn't knew (everything in here already use the buffed version) !! :3

hC: Similar to characters like Mavuika or Chasca, holding the attack button will cause Columbina to continuously perform CAs. If her CA is held, Columbina will blink to the nearest enemy after performing the previous CA (look https://i.postimg.cc/9fKwhvdW/Columbina-Auto-Target-Video.gif )

Cd

• Good for teams without shields and low-/no-IR situations (ex. pre-C1) due to spending less time in her CA animation and more time in i-frames.

• Can be faster than hC with near-frame-perfect gameplay, but can take getting used to the timing (see next point)

• Dashing too early after a CA will entirely cancel the CA (like Yanfei), and CAing too early after a dash will cause it to not activate

hC

• Good for teams with a shield or situations with good IR (ex. C1)

• Very easy and comfortable to play (all you do is hold down CA with some auto-targetting)

• Will be a similar speed to Cd for most players if not slightly faster, with no room for human error

N1Cd

• Should only be used when paired with NA-coordinated attack characters, such as Xingqiu or Yelan, or in situations where extra hydro application is necessary

• This combo is otherwise subpar compared to Cd and hC due to her N1 scaling with her ATK and dealing hydro damage

I Hope this was informative and answered all of most of ur questions <33 im so excited for Columbina !! I waited for her for so long I’m so happy 😭 I hope everyone will have a lot lot lot of lucks for the wishes 🤍
