Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, artifact sets and stat priorities on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and rephrased. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the refinement and team its row states. Everything else — base stats, passive text, material totals — is read from the game’s own data.

Building a slight amount of Energy Recharge (~10%) can be considered if it allows her to Burst consistently every rotation, which can be the case on Triple Geo teams with Favonius Illuga funnelling particles to her.

Zibai’s damage is nearly completely driven by her Lunar Phase Shift mode’s Normal Attacks and Special Skill activations, both of which scale with Elemental Skill investment. Her Burst does good damage, but is a secondary consideration.

Zibai’s outfits
DefaultMoonlit Courser
Zibai's outfit, made out of silk and hemp. It is said that thousands of years ago, the ancient nation of Lang-Gan possessed exquisite weaving techniques that were brought down to the mortal world by Zibai, a messenger from the high heavens. Ages passed, that old kingdom and its long history faded away, scattered by time until they became as elusive as the moon's reflection on water. Yet their craft has somehow endured. Even now, it still lives on in every pulley and wooden frame of the spinning wheels in Liyue Harbor.

Zibai FAQ
- What element is Zibai?
- Zibai is a 5-star Geo character from Nod-Krai who uses a sword, released in version 6.3.
- What stat does Zibai scale on?
- Zibai's abilities multiply DEF. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
- What is the best weapon for Zibai?
- Uraku Misugiri is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on DEF. Cinnabar Spindle is the best 4-star alternative.
- Which artifact set should Zibai use?
- Archaic Petra. Its 2-piece bonus is: Gain a 15% Geo DMG Bonus. Its 4-piece bonus is: Upon obtaining an Elemental Shard created through Crystallize or triggering a Lunar-Crystallize reaction, all party members gain a 35% DMG Bonus for that particular element for 10s. Only one form of Elemental DMG Bonus can be gained in this manner at any one time.
- How much does it cost to level Zibai's talents?
- Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Gold among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
- What does Zibai C1 do?
- Burst Forth With Vigor, But Enter in Silence: After using the Elemental Skill Heaven and Earth Made Manifest, Zibai will immediately gain 100 Phase Shift Radiance, and the max number of Spirit Steed's Stride usages per Lunar Phase Shift mode is increased to 5 times. Additionally, each time you switch to the Lunar Phase Shift mode, the first Spirit Steed's Stride's 2nd-hit Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG is increased by 220%.
