Version 6.3 of Genshin Impact, Luna IV, introduces a game-changing trio: Columbina, Zibai, and Illuga. These characters form the new “Lunar‑Crystallize” team archetype, enabling a potent synergy of Hydro + Geo elemental reactions. This guide covers pull strategy, weapons, artifacts, talents, rotations, and team comps so you can dominate Spiral Abyss or open-world content with maximum efficiency.

🌙 Why This Trio is a Meta Game-Changer

This isn’t just a random banner drop — it’s a designed team engine:

How They Work Together:

  • Columbina applies Hydro and triggers Lunar reactions.

💡 Optimal Team Compositions

Team CompNotes
Zibai + Columbina + Illuga + ZhongliShield, resistance shred, extended uptime
Zibai + Columbina + Illuga + GorouBoosts Geo crit and DEF for all three
Zibai + Columbina + Illuga + XingqiuExtra Hydro application for Lunar-Charged uptime
Zibai + Columbina + Illuga + HealerKokomi or Bennett for survivability if shield unavailable

Rotation Tips:

  1. Zhongli (if present): Hold skill for shield & resistance shred

  2. Illuga: Burst → Skill → set buff field

  3. Columbina: Apply Lunar-Charge → Burst

  4. Zibai: Skill → Burst → Normal/Charged attacks until buff expires

Avoid Pyro or Electro units in main rotation, as they consume the Lunar aura needed for Zibai to trigger Lunar-Crystallize effectively.
