Genshin Impact: Zibai Element Details Luna IV Leaks New Character Event Info

Luna IV’s latest drip marketing drop has uncovered Zibai – a poised Geo user with sharp insight and mysterious ties to Liyue’s forgotten archives. New lore hints link her stoic demeanor to the shifting balance of Geo power, teasing a DPS potential that could redefine the region’s front lines.

Genshin Impact Zibai Drip Marketing

Zibai’s drip marketing for the upcoming Luna IV update highlights her as a Geo character with striking design elements and refined details that reflect her disciplined background. The reveal introduces her role as a potential Geo DPS, combining defensive prowess with precision-based attacks. Early lore snippets suggest ties to ancient Teyvat architecture and traditions, hinting at a narrative connection to the region’s cultural heritage. Fans are already speculating about her abilities, artifact synergies, and how she will fit into current Geo team compositions.

Zibai’s drip marketing has finally been announced, and she might be one of the prettiest characters in the game. She is an adeptus who is often known to take the shape of a white horse. During the Archon war, Zibai helped Rex Lapis in attaining supremacy over the mortal realm. Everything revealed about Zibai touches on her elusive nature as an Adeptus, only appearing in Folktales.

She is confirmed to be a Geo character, and she draws her powers from the Moon Wheel and not a Vision. Although it is not mentioned in the drip marketing, Zibai is definitely a 5-star rarity character. To learn more about her abilities, weapons, and stats, check our Genshin Impact Zibai kit and Zibai Materials guides.

One of the interesting details about Zibai’s drip marketing is that it features a quote from ‘Ruler of Time’ Istaroth, one of the Four Shades. We already have hints that Venti is part of Istaroth, and she may also have connections with Zibai.

Now, coming back to her character design, I personally think it is the best work from Hoyoverse in Genshin Impact. She looks absolutely gorgeous and serene. Her amber eyes and white hair complement each other extremely well. Zibai may go down as one of the most popular characters in the game, especially as she is going to be the best Geo DPS after release. With her drip marketing announced, expect Zibai to release in Genshin Impact Luna IV.

Zibai kit details and talent scaling

Zibai’s kit centers on her Lunar Phase Shift state, activated by her Elemental Skill, which converts Normal and Charged Attacks to Geo damage scaling primarily with DEF and generates Phase Shift Radiance for enhanced bursts. Her talents prioritize Elemental Skill for entering this mode and building Radiance, followed by Burst for high-damage Tri-Sphere Eminence execution.​

Normal Attack

Performs up to four consecutive sword strikes or consumes Stamina for two swift charged strikes; in Lunar Phase Shift, these become enhanced Geo attacks scaling with DEF (e.g., Level 10: ~800% DEF multiplier per hit). Plunging attacks deal AoE Geo damage along the path and on impact, boosted further in her enhanced state.​

Elemental Skill: Heaven and Earth Made Manifest

Enters Lunar Phase Shift (duration ~12s, 15s CD), converting attacks to Geo and gaining 5 Radiance per second or hit (max 100). At 70 Radiance, unleashes Spirit Steed’s Stride dash for massive DEF-scaling Geo DMG (~1200% DEF at Level 10). Talent scaling emphasizes DEF and Elemental Mastery for Lunar-Crystallize triggers.​​

Elemental Burst: Tri-Sphere Eminence

Spends energy to summon orbiting lunar spheres that explode on enemies or overload with Crystallize, dealing high Geo AoE (~1500% DEF at Level 10) amplified by Radiance stacks. Gains DEF buffs from A1 passive and supports team Lunar reactions.​​

Talent Priority and Scaling

Prioritize Skill (9+) > Burst (9+) > Normal Attack (1-5); all key talents scale ~10-15% per level with DEF as base stat (e.g., C0 Level 10 Skill: 1200%+ DEF). Constellations like C2 boost Radiance gain by 30% and A1 DEF scaling.​​

Best weapon choices for Zibai at different refinement levels

Lightbearing Moonshard stands as Zibai’s top signature 5-star sword, boosting DEF by 20/25/30/35/40% across R1 to R5 and granting 64/80/96/112/128% Lunar-Crystallize DMG for 5s after her Elemental Skill, perfectly syncing with Lunar Phase Shift rotations for 35-40% total damage gains at higher refinements.​

Best 5-Star Options

• Uraku Misugiri (R1-R5): Matches signature’s 542 ATK and 88.2% CRIT DMG with permanent 20/25/30/35/40% DEF plus 16/20/24/28/32% Normal Attack and 24/30/36/42/48% Skill DMG bonuses; excels in balanced rotations, closing 10-15% gap to signature via DEF synergy.​

• Mistsplitter Reforged (R1-R5): Higher 674 ATK and 44.1% CRIT DMG with stacking DMG buffs, but lacks direct DEF/Lunar focus; solid for CRIT-heavy builds at R5.​

Best 4-Star and F2P Choices

• Cinnabar Spindle (R1-R5): Premier F2P pick with 69% DEF substat and 40/50/60/70/80% Elemental Skill DMG based on DEF (triggers every 1.5s); R5 nears R1 signature performance (85-95%) in Skill-focused teams.​

• Flute of Ezpitzal (R1-R5): DEF-scaling craftable with 16/20/24/28/32% DEF after Skill; reliable 3rd overall for F2P, outperforming other DEF sticks.​

• Harbinger of Dawn (R5): CRIT Rate focus competes closely in short bursts per community tests.​
