In Genshin Impact 6.3, new information continues to refine what players can expect from the Lunar Crystallize system and the upcoming Geo focused roster. The White Horse Adeptus, now known by the unofficial English name Zibai, takes center stage as a 5 star Geo Sword unit and a flagship Lunar Crystallize DPS. Alongside her arrive two new four star additions. Yeluoya, a Liyue male Geo polearm user, and Illuga, a young Ratnik character. Together they give Version 6.3 a strong identity focused on Geo, defense scaling and Hydro linked Lunar mechanics.
Early descriptions indicate that Zibai uses the Lady model and has white hair, visually reinforcing her “White Horse” title and Liyue adeptal mystique. A crucial mechanical detail is that White Horse multipliers are DEF scaling, which means her damage will be heavily influenced by defense rather than attack. This places her in a similar design family to other DEF based units, while still giving her a unique niche inside the Lunar Crystallize ecosystem. Her kit appears tailored to convert defensive investment into powerful Geo damage and shard based bursts.
One of the most eye catching details is that at C6, Zibai provides a 48 percent Elevation buff. This Elevation buff is expected to amplify her damage ceiling significantly, and possibly enhance teamwide performance in specific rotations. Although the exact internal formula remains speculative, a nearly fifty percent buff tied to her constellation suggests that high investment players will see dramatic gains in optimized builds. This makes her a prime candidate for main DPS roles in teams that lean on Geo, defense stacking and advanced reaction layering.
On the supporting side, Yeluoya is described as the new 4 star Liyue male Geo polearm and a Lunar Crystallize support. His role is to enable and enhance Lunar Crystallize by providing Geo application, shard generation and possibly defensive or reaction related buffs. Because Lunar Crystallize only interacts with Hydro, not with Pyro, Electro, or Cryo, Yeluoya’s synergy will mainly revolve around pairing Geo with Hydro units, particularly Columbina, the 5 star Hydro Catalyst who is already known as a dedicated support and sub DPS for Lunar Reactions. This narrowed interaction window makes team building more focused, but also easier to optimize for players who enjoy carefully curated reaction synergies.
The other notable new name for Version 6.3 is Illuga, a 4 star character described as a young Ratnik. While full details of his kit are still unclear, the Ratnik descriptor suggests a martial or military background, which may translate into a frontline or support hybrid role. Illuga’s presence diversifies the four star lineup and offers additional flexibility for players who might not pull all the five star units but still want to engage with the new mechanics and event content.
The clarification that Lunar Crystallize only interacts with Hydro is extremely important for theorycrafters. There is no interaction with Pyro, Electro, or Cryo for this specific Lunar variant. That means players should not expect Lunar Crystallize versions of Overload, Melt or other classic transformative reactions. Instead the design encourages compact, focused teams where Hydro plus Geo form the core of the reaction loop, with Columbina, Zibai and Yeluoya emerging as the primary trio for this niche. This synergy will likely be supported by new artifact sets and weapon options introduced in the same patch.
From a broader perspective, Genshin Impact 6.3 is shaping up as a milestone patch for Lunar reactions, Geo scaling, and DEF based DPS archetypes. Zibai’s DEF scaling multipliers, the 48 percent Elevation buff at C6, Yeluoya’s Lunar Crystallize support role, and the strict rule that Lunar Crystallize only works with Hydro create a well defined environment for players who want to specialize in this system. At the same time, Illuga as a young Ratnik adds character variety and potential new synergies with future content.
As more information is revealed, players who aim to prepare for Version 6.3 should pay close attention to DEF oriented builds, Hydro plus Geo pairings and constellation value on Zibai. The combination of new names like Zibai, Yeluoya and Illuga with the refined definition of Lunar Crystallize confirms that this update will significantly enrich the strategic depth of Geo and Lunar themed team compositions.
