Best Zibai teams in Genshin Impact

Zibai's best team is with Illuga, Linnea, and Columbina. The most important thing you need to remember when building a Zibai team is that she needs at least one other Moonsign (Nod-Krai) character, and one other Geo character. Illuga is so helpful because he performs both these roles, while also buffing the team.

It's also incredibly important to bring along a Hydro character to trigger the Lunar Crystallize reaction, and as Columbina is a Hydro character designed to enhance Lunar damage, she's the top pick.

What's really great about Zibai, though, is that she doesn't need 5-star characters to make her a meta DPS. Sure, they certainly help, but you can easily build a free-to-play team with characters like Illuga, Aino, Gorou, and Jahoda. This is what makes Linnea difficult to recommend, even though she's one of Zibai's best teammates thanks to her own personal damage and buffs to the team's damage.

Best Zibai teams with Linnea

Here are some of the best Zibai teams that use Linnea in Genshin Impact.

Zibai Linnea Columbina Illuga Zibai Linnea Columbina Gorou Zibai Linnea Columbina/Aino Ineffa Zibai Linnea Columbina Aino/Jahoda Zibai Linnea Aino Illuga/Gorou Zibai Linnea Illuga/Gorou Yelan/Xingqiu

Best Zibai teams without Linnea

Here are some of the best Zibai teams that don't use Linnea in Genshin Impact.

Zibai Columbina/Aino Xilonen Ineffa Zibai Columbina Illuga/Gorou Furina/Aino Zibai Columbina Xilonen Furina/Aino Zibai Columbina/Aino Illuga/Gorou Ineffa Zibai Columbina/Aino Illuga/Gorou Chiori Zibai Columbina/Aino Xilonen/Chiori Yelan/Xingqiu/Jahoda Zibai Columbina/Aino Gorou/Illuga Yelan/Xingqiu/Jahoda Zibai Columbina/Aino Zhongli/Kachina Yelan/Xingqiu/Jahoda Zibai Illuga Gorou Aino Zibai Illuga Gorou Yelan/Xingqiu

When running Zibai with Furina, you need to equip the Prototype Amber weapon on Columbina to ensure your team is able to heal after Furina drains health. This means Aino can't replace Columbina in this team, as Aino can't equip a catalyst-type weapon.

Best Zibai weapons in Genshin Impact

Here's a list of Zibai's best weapons in Genshin Impact:

Lightbearing Moonshard Zibai's signature 5-star sword gives her big boosts to Crit Damage, defence, and Lunar Crystallize when she uses her Skill. Uraku Misugiri A 5-star Crit Damage 'stat stick' that also increases Zibai's Skill damage and defence. Performs even better when another team member deals Geo Damage. Peak Patrol Song Xilonen's signature 5-star sword is a great defence 'stat stick' for Zibai, and provides some Elemental Mastery for the team. Light of Foliar Incision Another 5-star 'stat stick,' Foliar boosts Zibai's Crit Damage and Crit Rate, while improving her Skill damage after Zibai uses a normal attack. Gets better the more Elemental Mastery Zibai has. Harbinger of Dawn This 3-star weapon is actually Zibai's best free-to-play option for its huge Crit Damage and Rate buffs, as long as you can keep her health above 90%. Flute of Ezpitzal A craftable 4-star option for Zibai that increases her defence - even more so after she uses her Skill. Her top free-to-play pick if you don't want to use Harbinger of Dawn. Cinnabar Spindle This 4-star can be used until you get Flute of Ezpital if you don't want to use Harbinger of Dawn. It increases Zibai's defence and her Skill damage.

There are other 'stat sticks' Zibai can take advantage of if you don't have any of the options listed above. Ideally, look out for anything with a Crit Rate/Damage or defence main stat, but as always, it's preferable if the passive effect can also be utilized by Zibai for more damage gains.

Best Zibai Artifacts in Genshin Impact

Zibai's best Artifact set in Genshin Impact is the 4-piece Night of the Sky's Unveiling, as it increases her Elemental Mastery and Crit Rate, and the team's Lunar Reaction damage.

Nothing else comes close to matching Night of the Sky's Unveiling, but Zibai can use the 4-piece Husk of Opulent Dreams set while you farm. It increases Zibai's defence and gives her a Geo Damage boost.

The main stats you should aim for on Zibai's Artifacts are:

• Sands - Defence
• Goblet - Defence
• Circlet - Crit Rate/Damage

The substats you should be looking for with any of these Artifact sets are:

• Crit Damage
• Crit Rate
• Defence%
• Elemental Mastery
• Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge can be helpful if you wish to use Zibai's Burst every rotation.

How to play Zibai in Genshin Impact

Thankfully, even when you're not trying to min-max her combos, Zibai is an easy DPS to use with high damage potential. Simply activate your team's buffs, then switch to her and perform a Skill + four normal attacks. You can do this quickly for a total of four times before her special Skill state ends. If you happen to have Zibai's Burst available, then use it after one normal attack, then go back to finishing your Skill + four normal attacks combo.

The only time a casual playstyle should deviate from this combo is if Zibai happens to be at C1. In that case, her rotation should be:

• (x2) Skill
• Burst, then Skill
• (x3) Four normal attacks, then Skill

When levelling her up, prioritize Zibai's Skill first, then getting her to Level 90 and improving her Burst. Normal attacks can be ignored, as the normal attacks Zibai usually uses are actually counted as Skill damage.

All the best building Zibai in Genshin Impact!
