Overview

Columbina (Damselette) is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst character who serves as the cornerstone of the Lunar Reaction system. She enables and significantly buffs Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, and Lunar-Crystallize reactions while providing team-wide damage bonuses based on her Max HP.

• Massive DMG Buffs: Up to 60% Lunar Reaction DMG from artifacts alone
• Off-field Hydro Application: Continuous AoE Hydro from Gravity Ripple
• Max HP Scaling: Tanky while dealing significant damage
• Flexible Playstyle: Works as off-field support or on-field driver
