Who is Zibai?
Zibai isn’t your typical character. This mystical adeptus from Liyue can transform into a magnificent white horse and aided Rex Lapis during the Archon War. Named after an ancient text describing a divine beast capable of hunting tigers and leopards, Zibai emerges from folklore into playable reality.
Her design features a flowing white dress with golden Geo and lunar motifs, armored plating, and the spirit of a youthful yet valiant warrior. Think of her as a bridge between ancient legends and modern combat prowess.
Combat Capabilities
What makes Zibai special? She’s the strongest Geo DPS focusing on Lunar-Crystallize reactions. Her unique gameplay involves building special energy to unleash devastating Elemental Skills that deal Lunar-Crystallize damage. The more reactions you trigger, the harder she hits—perfect for players who love aggressive, reaction-based combat.

She pairs beautifully with Columbina (Phase 1 character) and the new 4-star support Illuga, who’s specifically designed to enhance Lunar-Crystallize teams. Her signature weapon, Lightbearing Moonshard, further amplifies her reaction damage by 64%.
Worth Pulling?
For Geo enthusiasts or players looking to explore the new Lunar meta, Zibai is a must-pull. Her synergy with upcoming characters and unique combat style make her a valuable long-term investment. Plus, the Lantern Rite rewards offer 1,600 Primogems and 10 Intertwined Fates—plenty to help secure your pull!
