Genshin Impact – Version Luna IV Banners Feature:
Phase I:
- Columbina (5-star Hydro Catalyst) & Ineffa (Electro Polearm)
Columbina Hyposelenia, widely known as the Moon Maiden, now joins the battlefield as a 5-star Hydro Catalyst wielder, offering potent support centered around Lunar Reactions. Through her unique skill set, Columbina can trigger coordinated Lunar Reaction DMG even while off-field, while her special ability, Lunar Domain, enhances all Lunar Reactions with a general DMG Bonus and a range of powerful effects.
The Lunar Domain can summon additional thundercloud strikes for Lunar-Charged reactions, generate extra resources for Lunar-Bloom reactions, and increase the number of Moondrift attacks for the new Lunar-Crystallize reactions. In addition, she can convert Electro-Charged, Bloom, and Hydro Crystallize reactions into Lunar Reactions and, during the adventure in Nod-Krai, even revive a fallen teammate, allowing allies to fight side by side under the moon’s blessing.
Phase II:
- Zibai (5-star Geo Sword), Neuvillette (5-star Hydro Catalyst) & Illuga (4-star Geo Polearm)
Version Luna IV also introduces Lunar-Crystallize, a brand-new elemental reaction triggered when Geo meets Hydro under specific conditions. This reaction summons three Moondrifts near enemies, and after being triggered three times, it activates Moondrift Harmony, dealing Geo DMG to nearby foes with a chance to land CRIT Hits.
While Columbina offers powerful support for the Lunar-Crystallize reaction, the new 5-star Geo Sword wielder Zibai, known as the White Horse Adeptus in Liyue’s books and folktales, brings its potential to even greater heights.
By entering a special state and building up unique energy, Zibai can unleash a powerful Elemental Skill that deals Lunar-Crystallize DMG. As more Lunar-Crystallize reactions are triggered, both the frequency and damage of this skill increase, allowing Zibai to dominate the battlefield with relentless assaults.
