Columbina officially confirmed for Version 6.3 Phase 1 launching January 14, 2026, as 5-star Hydro Catalyst. Il Capitano faces conflicting leaks between June-July and September 2026. This guide covers all 11 Harbingers' status, primogem calculations (14,540 free pulls per version), and pre-farming strategies.

Melt reactions amplify damage 2x (Pyro on Cryo) or 1.5x (Cryo on Pyro), excelling against Snezhnaya Cryo shields via 2x coefficient. The 2026 meta shifted significantly with the release of Version 6.3 Luna IV on January 13, 2026. As you face the Tsaritsa's forces, understanding the nuanced interplay between Cryo and Pyro elements is a requirement for high-level success. The environment is dominated by Cryo-heavy enemies, making your team composition the deciding factor between victory and defeat.

Sanctifying Elixir allows crafting custom 5-star artifacts via the Artifact Transmuter, selecting main stats and two substats. Costs vary: Sands (2), Goblet (4), Circlet (3). Players are limited to 1-2 pieces per set per version. Sources include Extraction (100 Progress), Natlan troves (6 total), and Tablet of Tona levels. Post-Version 5.5, leveling to +20 guarantees two substat upgrades, making it vital for 2026 sets like Obsidian Codex.

Capturing Radiance is a new loss protection mechanic in Genshin Impact Version 6.0 designed to prevent players from losing four consecutive 50/50s. It escalates win odds from 50% to 55% plus a 33.3% Capturing Radiance chance on the second loss, guaranteeing the featured character by the third loss. This system persists across Character Event Banners, significantly improving pull efficiency for F2P and low-spenders aiming for specific Natlan characters.

Tsaritsa ascension to level 90 requires 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones of Shivada Jade, 168 Nod-krai Frostlamp Flowers, 46 Hoarfrost Cores, and 2.09M Mora. Pre-farming for the Cryo Archon is a strategic necessity to maximize her potential immediately upon release. By utilizing current Resin on accessible materials now, you avoid depleting resources after the banner drops, ensuring she is ready for Spiral Abyss without a grace period.
