You are about to see Columbina Hyposelenia step out of lore and into playable form in Genshin Impact Version Luna IV. Known as the Damselette among the Fatui Harbingers, she has remained one of the game’s most enigmatic figures until now.
With her confirmed arrival as a playable character, you can expect long-standing questions about her role and identity to gain clearer context. This introduction outlines what is currently known about Columbina as she prepares to join the roster.
Columbina as a Playable Character in Genshin Impact
You access Columbina under the name Columbina in-game, even though her full designation is Columbina Hyposelenia. She enters the roster as a 5‑star Hydro Catalyst unit and centers her kit on Lunar-based reactions.
You can use her to trigger every Lunar reaction currently available. These include Lunar‑Charged and Lunar‑Bloom, plus Lunar‑Crystallize, which requires pairing her with Geo characters. This design positions her as a flexible Hydro applicator who supports reaction-focused teams without locking you into a single archetype.
Her Catalyst playstyle emphasizes consistent Hydro application rather than physical damage. You benefit most when you build teams that can repeatedly trigger and amplify Lunar effects.
When and How You Can Unlock Columbina
You can obtain Columbina after Version 6.3 (Luna IV) launches on January 14, 2026.

Other new characters in Genshin Impact Luna IV
You also gain access to Zibai, a 5‑star Geo Sword character tied to Liyue. Even if her playable form feels new, you may recognize her presence from earlier Liyue storylines and legends.
Zibai stands out as a Geo unit that interacts with Lunar‑Crystallize, aligning her kit with the Luna IV combat focus. She becomes the first new Geo character added in over a year, expanding options for Geo‑focused team setups. Her limited banner appears during the second half of Luna IV, starting February 4.
You meet another addition in Illuga, a 4‑star Geo Polearm user associated with the Lightkeepers of Nod‑Krai. If you are familiar with Flins, Illuga comes from the same faction and reinforces Nod‑Krai’s growing role in the current storyline.
Illuga also features on banners during the second half of Luna IV, making him available alongside Zibai.

These additions deepen Geo team variety while reinforcing Luna IV’s regional and mechanical themes.
