Genshin Impact Columbina leaks reveal lore and constellation

Renowned leakers, Uncle K and Leakflow, recently answered several questions that have revealed interesting lore about Genshin Impact, especially the third Fatui Harbinger, Columbina. Also known as the Damsellette, there has been a lot of hype surrounding her since she first appeared in "A Winter Night's Lazzo" interlude teaser.

The leakers disclosed that Columbina may be a Seelie in the game's narrative. However, Seelie could be a translation error and may actually mean "Fairy", as already implied by the leakers before. They revealed that Columbina's early design included wings like Robin from Honkai Star Rail.

During early drafts of the story, Columbina was supposed to be the first singer and was implied to be a guiding bird for humanity created by the "Sun", like a Seelie Torch. Apparently, this was meant to be an important part of Natlan's lore.

Although, it could have been changed according to the leakers. As per them, it is unknown whether Columbina will even appear during the Natlan arc of the narrative. However, if she does, they suggest it would be in the second half and may be confirmed via a PV (Promotional Video).

Uncle K and Leakflow also provided insight into Columbina's potential constellation design. It could be based on the dove of peace guiding humanity.

Aside from Columbina, Uncle K and Leakflow also revealed information about the Natlan region's meta and Pyro Archon's kit in Genshin Impact. When asked about whether the Pyro Archon, rumored to be Mavuika, will arrive in version 5.2, they replied yes.

The leakers suggested that all the Natlan characters arriving during the first half of the arc will be reaction-based units, unlike the "Pure Elements" ones. However, due to translation issues, it is unclear what the latter refers to.

Moreover, leaks suggest having the Pyro Archon will be central to the story and all characters will tie into her. Similarly, it will be highly beneficial for a lot of characters to have her on the team in Natlan.

Uncle K and Leakflow disclosed that the Pyro Archon's main role would be to provide off-field Pyro application and enable elemental reactions. She is expected to be able to do so without any associated cost and we'll be a must-pull unit.

According to them, the Pyro Archon may provide attack boosts, increase survivability, and some other buffs as well. Furthermore, while she is meant to be off-field, she may be able to take on a more on-field role with higher constellations, with the best ones being C1 and C2.

It is important to note that all the above-mentioned information is subject to change. It is likely her kit will undergo changes in beta testing.
