Zibai Best Build Guide: Weapons, Artifacts, Teams and More

Say hello to Zibai—the game’s first Lunar-Crystallize Geo DPS, and a total win for f2p players everywhere! This galloping rock-wielder isn’t just here to shake up the reaction meta; she’s got a build path so friendly, you won’t need to break the bank to make her hit like a truck.

This guide’s got all the deets: the best weapons to slap on her, the artifacts that’ll make her defense actually hit hard, and the team comps that’ll turn her Lunar-Crystallize wards into a damage factory. Let’s dive in and make this defense-scaling queen shine!

Zibai Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element:Geo | Weapon: Sword

Zibai is a 5-star Geo Sword Main DPS tailored around the Lunar-Crystallize reaction and damage scaled by her DEF. Boasting CRIT DMG as her ascension stat—greatly ramping up her peak damage output—she pairs flawlessly with Lunar-focused teams, especially setups built around Lunar reactions that leverage her ability to manipulate the party’s Moonsign. Her C2 unlocks a boosted damage multiplier for the follow-up hits of her Elemental Skill, while her C6 grants a stacking DEF and CRIT Rate bonus. This bonus activates when Lunar-Crystallize reactions are triggered, and applies exclusively to the active party member classified as a "Nod-Krai" character.

Zibai Weapon Recommended

Best Choice

Nocturne's Curtain Call

Ballad of the Crossroads

Max HP increases by 10%. After triggering Lunar reactions or inflicting Lunar Reaction DMG on opponents, the equipping character will recover 12Energy, and receive the Bountiful Sea's Sacred Wine effect for 12s: Max HP increases by an additional 14%, CRIT DMG from Lunar Reaction DMG increases by60%. The Energy recovery effect can be triggered at most once every 18s, and can be triggered even when the equipping character is off-field.

It is perfectly tailored for Zibai: its 60% CRIT DMG boost to Lunar Reaction DMG amplifies her core DEF-scaling damage, its off-field 12 Energy restore every 18s solves her 60-energy Burst uptime issue by matching her Skill cooldown, and its 24% Max HP increase bolsters her survivability, all aligning with her core gameplay of Lunar Reaction-based damage and skill rotation.

 

Alternatives

Uraku Misugiri

Base ATK:44 | CRIT DMG:19.2%

Brocade Bloom, Shrine Sword

Normal Attack DMG is increased by 16% and Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 24%. After a nearby active character deals Geo DMG, the aforementioned effects increase by 100% for 15s. Additionally, the wielder's DEF is increased by 20%.

Uraku Misugiri is an ideal weapon for Zibai, as it perfectly fits her core gameplay of DEF-scaling damage and skill rotation centered on Moonshift Interstice mode. Its base 16% Normal Attack DMG boost and 24% Elemental Skill DMG boost double to 32% and 48% respectively for 15s when nearby active characters deal Geo DMG, directly amplifying her key damage sources—the Normal Attacks that stack Lumen-Wisp and the Spirit Steed's Stride that deals heavy Lunar Reaction DMG. Additionally, the weapon’s 20% DEF increase bolsters her DEF-scaling output and synergizes with her talents to enhance skill damage, while its high CRIT DMG sub-stat complements her Ascension CRIT DMG to further maximize her burst potential.

Peak Patrol Song

Base ATK:44 | DEF:18.0%

Halcyon Years Unending

Gain “Ode to Flowers” after Normal or Plunging Attacks hit an opponent: DEF increases by 8% and gain a 10% All Elemental DMG Bonus for 6s. Max 2 stacks. Can trigger once per 0.1s. When this effect reaches 2 stacks or the 2nd stack’s duration is refreshed, increase all nearby party members’ All Elemental DMG Bonus by 8% for every 1,000 DEF the equipping character has, up to a maximum of 25.6%, for 15s.

Peak Patrol Song is a fantastic fit for Zibai thanks to its perfect synergy with her DEF-scaling core and team-supportive gameplay. When Zibai lands Normal or Plunging Attacks in Moonshift Interstice mode—her primary damage-dealing state—she can stack up to 2 layers of "Ode to Flowers", gaining a total 16% DEF boost and 20% All Elemental DMG Bonus that directly amplify her DEF-converted Geo and Lunar Reaction DMG. Moreover, once 2 stacks are active or refreshed, the weapon grants all nearby party members an All Elemental DMG Bonus based on Zibai’s high DEF (up to 25.6%), which not only boosts her own damage output but also turns her into a valuable support unit for Geo or mixed teams, aligning seamlessly with her passive talent that buffs the team’s Lunar Reaction DMG.

 

Zibai Artifacts

Night of the Sky's Unveiling

2-Pc: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.

4-Pc: When nearby party members trigger Lunar Reactions, if the equipping character is on the field, gain the Gleaming Moon: Intent effect for 4s: Increases CRIT Rate by 15%/30% when the party's Moonsign is Nascent Gleam/Ascendant Gleam. All party members' Lunar Reaction DMG is increased by 10% for each different Gleaming Moon effect that party members have. Effects from Gleaming Moon cannot stack.

The 4-piece Night of the Sky’s Unveiling artifact set is a must-have with no worthy substitutes—opting for any other set will only be a downgrade. The silver lining is that the current patch has doubled the crafting output for each set, allowing you to make two pieces per update instead of one. Craft two pieces this patch and another two next, and you’ll secure a complete 4-piece set without ever entering a domain, right in time for Zi Bai’s launch. Still, hold off on crafting for at least two weeks, just in case the beta version gets balance adjustments that would waste your resources.

Zibai Best Team

DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Sustain
Zibai	Columbina	Illuga	Gorou Xingqiu

This team composition excels at maximizing Zi Bai’s Lunar-Crystallize damage potential through layered buffs, consistent elemental application, and flexible sustain options. Columbina’s dual role as off-field sub-DPS and reaction booster delivers steady Hydro and Lunar-Crystallize damage while amplifying the team’s core reaction output, laying a solid foundation for high overall damage. Illuga complements her perfectly by providing scalable damage stacks that sync with Zi Bai’s Geo and Lunar-Crystallize attacks, along with universal offensive buffs that grow stronger alongside Hydro or Geo allies; his C4 also adds a defensive layer to enhance on-field survivability.

The fourth slot further optimizes the team’s performance based on needs: Gorou reinforces Zi Bai’s Geo-focused damage and defense while ensuring sustain, whereas Xingqiu boosts reaction consistency with reliable Hydro application, offers damage mitigation and minor healing, and strengthens Columbina via Hydro resonance. Together, the team achieves a seamless balance of offensive power, reaction efficiency, and adaptability, making it a top-tier choice for challenging content.

 

DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Zibai	Albedo	Mona	Any character

If you lack Columbina or Illuga, the combination of Mona and Albedo serves as a solid alternative, especially with the recent Hexerei system buffs that have enhanced their synergy. Mona can equip the Prototype Amber to fulfill the team’s healing requirements, while Albedo steps out of his conventional Durin-focused team setups to provide consistent off-field Geo damage and elemental support for Zi Bai.

 

DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Zibai	Columbina	Xilonen	Any Character

Xilonen can be used as a substitute for Illuga to provide Geo resistance reduction and team healing, though this replacement comes at the cost of Illuga’s potent offensive buffs.

 

Conclusion

From her defense-focused stat priority to her synergy with Lunar-Crystallize enablers like Columbina and Illuga, Zibai proves to be a versatile and rewarding unit to build—especially for players who prefer low-investment, high-impact characters.
