Genshin Impact 6.3 Changes and Additions

Forward to new adventures in the 6.3 update "Luna IV"! Don't miss out on the new characters Columbina, Zibai and Illuga, as well as significant rerun to Ineffa and Neuvillette. Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to the arrival of Columbina, Zibai and Illuga, along with other key changes in version 6.3.

Columbina Mechanics Analysis

Columbina is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst user. As a dedicated support/Sub-DPS for the Lunar Reaction system, she significantly enhances her team's Lunar Reaction damage while optimizing rotations. Her abilities scale with HP, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG.

• In her primary supportive mode, her Elemental Skill deploys a “Gravity Ripple” that follows the active character, applying Hydro and accumulating energy when the team triggers Lunar Reactions. Upon reaching 60 energy, it automatically fires a “Gravity Interference,” dealing substantial off-field Lunar Reaction DMG. Her Elemental Burst provides a team-wide Lunar Reaction DMG Bonus and enhances the effects of all Lunar Reactions under the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign.
• By consuming “Verdant Dew,” she can also perform a special Charged Attack that deals Lunar-Bloom DMG without consuming stamina, enabling a niche on-field DPS playstyle.

Zibai Mechanics Analysis

Zibai is a 5-star Geo Sword user. As a Main DPS centered on the Lunar-Crystallize reaction, she converts her DEF into damage and manipulates the party's Moonsign. Her abilities scale primarily with DEF and CRIT DMG.

• Her core rotation is initiated by her Elemental Skill, “Spirit Steed's Stride,” which enters the “Lunar Phase Shift” state, infusing her Normal Attacks with Geo and enabling a special follow-up strike after her 4th attack that deals significant Lunar-Crystallize DMG. Her Elemental Burst, “Tri-Sphere Eminence,” deals massive AoE Geo DMG and summons “Moondrift Crystals” that trigger coordinated attacks.
• Her “Moonsign Mark” system grants her enhanced CRIT Rate under the Nascent Gleam state or increased DEF under the Ascendant Gleam state, seamlessly integrating her damage output with the active Lunar reaction environment.

Illuga Mechanics Analysis

Illuga is a 4-star  Geo Polearm user. As a dedicated Geo support, he functions as a Burst-window amplifier, converting his own Elemental Mastery into flat Geo DMG bonus for the active character's attacks, rather than dealing primary damage himself.

• His core mechanic is the “Nightingale's Song” stack system from his Elemental Burst. He gains a pool of stacks, and during the Burst's 20-second window, any nearby active character consumes these stacks each time they deal Geo DMG, with each consumption granting a substantial flat damage increase scaled from Illuga's EM. A key nuance is that multi-target Geo hits consume multiple stacks at once, making him excel with fast, multi-hit Geo carries.
• His “Construct Resonance” passive and “Moonsign Mark” system further optimize this mechanic. The presence of Geo Constructs during his Burst provides him with a significant stack count bonus, while triggering Lunar-Crystallize reactions under the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign grants him an additional 60 EM, directly enhancing the power of each stack consumed.

Character Mechanics Analysis: Ineffa and Neuvillette

Ineffa
Ineffa is a 5-Star Electro Support/Sub-DPS in Genshin Impact, an artificial being created from various nation scraps, known for her strong shield, off-field Electro application, and enabling unique Lunar-Charged reactions, making her excellent in Hydro/Electro teams for Hyperbloom/Overload triggers and versatile support.

Neuvillette
Neuvillette is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst user in Genshin Impact, serving as the stern but insightful Chief Justice of Fontaine, whose gameplay centers on powerful, HP-scaling enhanced Charged Attacks that shoot a continuous beam of Hydro damage, supported by his Skill and Burst to generate crucial Sourcewater Droplets for faster charging and healing.
