Why Zibai’s Ascension Matters in 6.3
With the arrival of Genshin Impact Version 6.3, Zibai anchors the meta as one of the few Geo characters designed for Lunar-Charged reactions. If you’re planning to add her to your active roster, levelling both her base level and her talents is essential — elemental reaction damage is heavily dependent on overall character level. Optimizing your ascension path now pays off, as event rewards and condensed resin routing remain competitive amid the first phase banners.
Key context: Zibai is a limited banner Geo unit released with 6.3 Phase 1 (2026-02-01, 11:00 UTC+8). Leveling her efficiently keeps pace with spiral resets, domain rotations, and the ongoing Remnant of the Dreadwing boss spawn schedule.
At a Glance: Zibai Ascension & Talent Preparation
- Zibai Banner: 2026-02-01 to 2026-02-21 (UTC+8), Phase 1

- Core Ascension Enemies: Tattered/Immaculate/Frost-Etched Warrant (enemy drops)
- Major Resource Bottleneck: Remnant of the Dreadwing drops (day-locked farming)
- Total Cost (Lv90/10/10/10): Over 1,673,400 Mora + 8M EXP + weekly boss exclusives
Zibai Banner & Availability (Patch 6.3)
| Phase | Dates (UTC+8) | Zibai Rate-Up | Notable Competition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 2026-02-01 – 2026-02-21 | Yes | Columbina rerun |
| Phase 2 | 2026-02-21 – 2026-03-14 | No | Unconfirmed (see 6.3 Banner Leak) |
Note: As of this writing, there’s no official confirmation regarding Zibai's rerun in Phase 2 or later banners. For further details on upcoming banners, visit Genshin Impact Banner Update: Current, Next, and Historical.
Should You Pull Zibai? (F2P, Low-Spend, Meta Chasers)
- F2P/Low-Spend Optimization: Prioritize if lacking a contemporary Geo support/damage dealer. Zibai synergizes best with Mono-Geo or Crystallize-focused teams. Competing banners feature Columbina — weigh your account goals.
- Pity Timing: Standard banner pity (90 hard, 75 soft), 50/50 mechanic. If you’re between guaranteed 5-stars, consider banner overlaps and resource stockpile (Primogems, Intertwined Fates).
- Resource Allocation: Don’t overcommit unless you can afford Remnant of the Dreadwing resin cycles — this boss is time-gated per week.

Step-by-Step Ascension & Talent Leveling
1. Gather Local Specialty: Glaze Lily
- Route: EarlyGG Glaze Lily location guide (with alt texts: Map of Glaze Lily spawn points in Liyue, highlighting respawn timers, for easy farming)
- Reset: 48 hours per node, farm daily to avoid bottlenecks.
2. Defeat Remnant of the Dreadwing
- Unlock: Requires 6.3 main quest completion; boss is on a regular spawn cycle in the Lunarcrystal region.
- Tip: Optimal to co-op farm, as resin cost per drop remains standard (40 Resin per claim).
- Reset: No weekly limit, but resin-bound.
3. Farm Warrants (Tattered/Immaculate/Frost-Etched)
- Locations: Best rates in post-6.3 event regions; prioritize elite spawns.
- Tip: Double up drops if using battle pass bonuses/condensed resin.
4. Obtain Talent Books (Gold)
- Domain Days: Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays (Taishan Mansion)
- F2P Advice: Consider resin conversion only if competing for event rewards, else wait natural rotation.
5. Weekly Boss: Ascended Sample: Queen
- Unlock: Available with 6.3 patch; weekly reset (claims at Monday 04:00 server time, UTC+8 Asia)
- Tip: Use discount on first three weekly bosses claimed.
6. Stockpile Mora & EXP
- Total (Lv90 + triple-crown): Anticipate upwards of 5 million Mora, and 8,362,650 Character EXP.
- Strategy: Mix daily commissions, leyline runs, and event rewards to pace spending.
Team Synergy & Loadouts
Zibai’s design caters to Lunar-Charged (Crystallize) reactions:
– Best-in-slot teams: Geo main (Zibai), Albedo/Ningguang, Flex Anemo (for VV reduction), Zhongli (shield stacking).
– Budget build: Zibai + Noelle + Geo MC + Bennett (easy F2P core, focus on shield uptime).
– Artifact options: Archaic Petra or newly released 6.3 sets (if available). Evaluate based on playstyle and stat rolls.
Common Pitfalls & Resource Bottlenecks
- Glaze Lily: Missed spawn cycles = 2+ day delays
- Remnant farming: Resin locked, competitive with other boss farm priorities
- Talent book schedule: Ensure you align your farming around active domain days
- Weekly boss lockout: Do not neglect claiming Queen drops during event weeks
FAQ: Zibai Ascension and Talent Materials
- Can I pre-farm Remnant of the Dreadwing? Not before Patch 6.3. The boss unlocks with Zibai’s patch release.
- Region differences? None reported as of Patch 6.3 (Asia, NA, EU, TW/HK/MO share release cadence).
- Pity carryover for banners? Yes, as with all Genshin banners (see Banner Update page).
- Where do I get Crown of Insight? Event/limited-time rewards; not farmable indefinitely.
What’s Next? (After Ascension)
- Optimize artifact farming by running commission events aligned with Zibai’s stat needs (Crit DMG/Geo DMG/ATK%).
- Monitor in-game event calendar for double-drop days and battle pass resets to accelerate progression.
- Track EarlyGG’s banner news for rerun opportunities and character event synergies.
Bottom line: Preparation and discipline are critical to maximizing Zibai’s impact in Genshin Impact 6.3. By targeting key materials early—especially those with reset timers—you position your account to take full advantage of meta shifts as they arrive. Players can count on EarlyGG for updated guidance as new events and banners roll out in Teyvat.
