Who is Zibai in Genshin Impact: Everything You Need to Know (Lore, Kit & 6.3 Meta)
Hey Travelers! Zibai is stealing the spotlight in Genshin Impact 6.3 “Luna IV” as the ethereal Geo Sword Adeptus who’s been hiding in Liyue legends since launch. Once a moon-dwelling “daughter” of Istaroth and white horse emissary, this 5-star powerhouse shifts into Lunar Phase for unoverrideable Geo DMG and Lunar-Crystallize nukes. From Archon War god-slayer to Nod-Krai ally, her 6000+ year saga ties Venti, Guhua, and Three Moons lore together. Ready for the full Zibai breakdown?
Zibai’s Ancient Origins: Moon Angel & Archon War Hero
Zibai predates Liyue’s Geo Archon era, born among the Eight Adepts as Istaroth’s “daughter”—a celestial wind spirit who dwelled on the moon. Frostmoon Scions etched her as a benevolent death emissary, appearing as a white horse in Mt. Qingce bamboo forests. She shared Three Moons’ funerary flame tragedy with a young Gua boy (Guhua ancestor?), warning of celestial wars.
Archon War Highlights:
- Fought alongside Adepti to subdue chaos god Tao Dou
- Aided Rex Lapis’ mortal supremacy
- Vanished into seclusion post-war, appearing in folktales only
Her drip marketing confirms Moon Wheel powers (no Vision needed), linking her to Nod-Krai’s lunar revival in Luna IV.
Playable Kit: Lunar Phase Shift & Crystallize Mastery
Zibai’s Elemental Skill “Heaven and Earth Made Manifest” summons her spectral horse form, entering Lunar Phase Shift where Normal/Charged Attacks deal pure Geo DMG (unoverrideable). Accumulate Phase Shift Radiance (max 100) via hits, then spend 70 for Spirit Steed’s Stride—double Geo bursts with Lunar-Crystallize on the second hit!
Burst “Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam”: Every 4th Normal in Phase adds bonus Geo (250% Lunar-Crystallize DMG). Perfect for Columbina/Illuga teams shredding 6.3 Abyss shields.
Talent Priority: Skill > Burst > Normal. Stats: DEF% sands (scales hard), Geo/DEF goblet, CRIT circlet. Weapons like Uraku Misugiri or Peak Patrol Song.

Zibai embodies elusive serenity—whispering forgotten tales, aiding from shadows. Her Springs of Hidden Jade folktale positions her as drought-ending rainbringer, while Lantern Rite hints tie her to Guhua bloodline. Nod-Krai Arc: Allies with Columbina against Wild Hunt, sharing moon lineage.
Cosmic Ties:
- Istaroth family (Venti/Nicole connections)

- Guhua lineage protector
- Frostmoon Scions Nod-Krai faith
