How to Farm for Columbina Materials in Genshin Impact
To gather Columbina’s ascension materials, focus on weekly bosses like the All-Devouring Narwhal in Fontaine for her signature item, alongside regional drops from Inazuma’s Perpetual Mechanical Array. Farm Handguards from Nobushi and Kairagi enemies across Teyvat, which drop more frequently during events or in high-level domains. Use the in-game planner or apps like Paimon.moe to track respawns and optimize routes through Mondstadt, Liyue, and Sumeru for consistent yields before her release.
