Genshin Impact Columbina: Release Date, Story, Element, Weapon & More

Secrecy surrounds the Genshin Impact Fatui Harbingers, but one name stands out: Columbina. Who is this figure, and what secrets does she hold? Let’s explore what we know about her so far.

All We Know About Columbina in Genshin Impact

Power Within the Fatui Hierarchy

The Fatui Harbingers are the elite enforcers of the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa. Their formidable strength and unwavering loyalty are legendary. Columbina’s position as the Third Harbinger signifies her immense power and influence within the organization. This ranking suggests she possesses abilities that challenge even the divine beings of Teyvat.

A Glimpse into Columbina’s Potential

While official information remains scarce, leaks paint a fascinating picture of Columbina’s potential role and abilities. Here’s what we can glean from these unofficial sources:

  • Cryo Master: Leaks suggest Columbina will be a Cryo character, wielding the power of ice. This element aligns with the Cryo nature of the Fatui and Tsaritsa, but her specific combat style remains shrouded in mystery.
  • Dominating the Battlefield: Many fans speculate Columbina will excel in the role of a main DPS (damage per second) character. This implies she will be a powerful attacker, capable of dealing significant damage to enemies.
  • Weapon of Choice: While Columbina’s physical appearance doesn’t hint at a specific weapon type, some fans theorize she might utilize a bow or a catalyst. These weapon choices would allow for ranged combat, potentially contrasting with the more close-quarters fighting styles of other Harbingers.
Release Date and Playability

There’s no confirmed information regarding Columbina’s official release date. However, considering the recent introduction of Natlan in the game’s storyline, many speculate she might play a pivotal role in the upcoming arc. Theories suggest she could appear as early as the first or second update focusing on Natlan.

As for her potential addition to the playable roster, patience might be key. The latest Harbinger, Arlecchino, serves as a prime example. Despite her early introduction in Fontaine’s story, she only became playable much later in update 4.6. Since Columbina’s playable release is likely sometime in 2025, HoYoverse, the game’s developer, has ample time to refine her design and abilities.

Columbina remains an enigmatic figure in Genshin Impact’s narrative. While leaks offer intriguing possibilities, her true power, fighting style, and ultimate motives are yet to be revealed. Will she emerge as a formidable adversary, or will there be more to her than meets the eye? Only time, and HoYoverse‘s creative vision, will tell.
