Columbina Release Date and Time in Genshin Impact

The arrival of a new Fatui Harbinger as a playable character in Genshin Impact is always a massive event, and few are as highly anticipated as the ethereal Columbina, also known as the Damselette. Fans are eagerly saving their Primogems, but when exactly will the mysterious Third Harbinger grace the character banners?

As of today, HoYoverse has not officially announced a specific release date for Columbina. All available information comes from reliable leaks and community speculation, which are subject to change. However, a strong consensus has emerged regarding her debut window.

Columbina Release Date (Leaked/Expected)

Based on consistent information from multiple prominent leakers and dataminers within the community, here is the most probable release window for Columbina:

You can track her release date and time using the Columbina Countdown.

Release Time for Character Banners

Genshin Impact follows a predictable maintenance and banner release schedule. Once the official release version is confirmed, her banner launch time will follow the standard pattern:

• Server Downtime: Approximately 6:00 AM to 10:59 AM (UTC+8).
• Banner Launch: Immediately after the server maintenance is complete, typically around 11:00 AM (UTC+8).

Remember to check the official in-game announcement for the precise maintenance schedule a few days before the patch update.

Why is Columbina So Highly Anticipated?

Columbina, the third of the Fatui Harbingers, is not just a highly-ranked antagonist. Her appeal stems from several key factors that heavily contribute to her presence:

• The Damselette’s Design: Her unique, angelic, yet unsettling design captured the community’s attention from her first appearance in the “Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail” trailer.
• Playable Harbinger Status: Following the release of other Harbingers, there is immense excitement for Columbina to join the playable roster.
• Archon-Equivalent Character: Leaks suggest Columbina will play a central, Archon-like role in the storyline of the upcoming region, Nod-Krai, making her a highly significant character.
• Leaked Kit: Rumors suggest she will be a 5-Star Hydro Catalyst character with a unique kit focused on support and DPS potential, specifically synergizing with the rumored “Lunar Reactions.”

How to Prepare for Columbina’s Banner

With the potential release date over a year away, now is the perfect time to start your preparations:

1. Save Primogems: A guaranteed 5-star character requires 180 Wishes (28,800 Primogems). Consistent daily commissions and event participation will make this easily achievable for Free-to-Play travelers.
2. Farm World Boss Materials: Once leaks confirm her Ascension Materials (likely from a World Boss in the new region), start pre-farming immediately.
3. Accumulate Mora and XP Books: Leveling a new character from 1 to 90 is a massive investment.
