Genshin Impact Version 6.3 arrives on a silver-lit tide, bringing with it the long-awaited debut of Columbina, the Moon Goddess of Nod-Krai, alongside a highly anticipated Ineffa rerun and the return of everyone’s favorite seasonal celebration—the Lantern Rite Festival. Whether you’re here for new characters, shiny weapons, generous rewards, or festive Liyue vibes, Version 6.3 has something to love. In this article, we’ll break down Columbina’s kit, take a look at her signature weapon, and walk you through the major events lighting up this patch.
New Character: Columbina
Columbina Hyposelenia enters the playable roster as a 5-star Hydro Catalyst unit wrapped in mystery and moonlight. Known by many names—Moon Goddess of Nod-Krai, Kuutar to Frostmoon Scions, and formerly The Damselette of the Fatui Harbingers—Columbina’s story is one of solitude, rebirth, and quiet resilience. Her lore places her at the crossroads of divine power and human emotion, making her debut especially significant as Genshin Impact’s narrative delves deeper into celestial forces and lunar symbolism.
Gameplay-wise, Columbina introduces a fresh layer to team building through the Lunar Reaction system. She excels as a reaction-focused support and sub-DPS, applying consistent off-field Hydro with her Elemental Skill while enhancing Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, and Lunar-Crystallize reactions across the party. Her Elemental Burst creates a Lunar Domain, boosting reaction damage and rewarding teams that thrive on elemental synergy. Built primarily around Max HP scaling, Columbina fits perfectly into Bloom, Electro-Charged, and hybrid reaction comps, offering both damage amplification and utility. She will be joined by 5-star Ineffa and 4-stars Sethos, Fischl, and Ifa in Phase 1, which runs until February 3, 2026.
New Weapon: Nocturne’s Curtain Call
Designed exclusively with Columbina in mind, Nocturne’s Curtain Call is a 5-star Catalyst that leans fully into Lunar Reactions. With a massive Crit DMG boost of 88.2% and multiple Max HP bonuses, this weapon dramatically boosts Lunar Reaction damage while also solving Energy needs through off-field Energy recovery. Its passive effect rewards frequent Lunar Reaction procs with even more HP and Crit DMG scaling, making it an ideal pick not just for Columbina, but for future Lunar-focused Catalyst users as well.
