Introduction
“Oh no, that tier again..”
Genshin Impact verse have experienced Tier 4-A twice. First with Imaginarium Theater, the second one with that Narwhal thing. But here we are, trying to get back to that tier again.
So this time, the feats of this 4-A is coming from Pocket Reality Feats (again), cause that's a common feats and actually the easiest way to get 4-A rating.
There are 3 people actually performing these feats with 2 of them being the Shades, let's check them out.
Asmoday
Feats:
Feats:
And from those feats, i propose Pocket Reality Manipulation for Istaroth as well.
Now the question will be: How can we scale these to their physicals (AP, Strikin & Dura)?
See the explanations:
Columbina
Feats:
She actually performed the feats twice:
The same question arise: How can we scale this to her physicals?
Let's see another explanations:
Conclusion
Genshin Impact's God-Tiers back to 4-A again based on creating a pocket realm containing starry sky.

Asmoday
Feats:
- In the version 6.5, we got a new map expansion. It is a map of a separate realm created by the Ruler of Space Asmoday, named the "Temple of Space."
- As you can see here, the realm contains a starry sky with even the nebula and the sun within it.
Feats:
- Context: In the 6.3 of the Lantern Rite event quest, one of the Zibai's Three Deadly Selves named Zizhi was trapped in the realm of starry sky created by Istaroth as a punishment for her defying the Heaven's will.
- We can see the full context from here in this video how Zizhi was trapped there because of Istaroth imprisoned her:
- Zizhi/Zibai being trapped/imprisoned by Istaroth within the starry sky is also mentioned in the book Spring of Hidden Jade Vol. 2:
(fyi: Zizhi/Zibai is Istaroth's daughter)
And from those feats, i propose Pocket Reality Manipulation for Istaroth as well.
Now the question will be: How can we scale these to their physicals (AP, Strikin & Dura)?
See the explanations:
The Four Shades are the projections of the Heavenly Principles, they are merely an avatars of them. The Heavenly Principles bestowed them powers, each to govern their own aspects of fundamental reality (i.e Life, Death, Time, and Space). So from this, the abilities of the shades can reasonably scale to their physicals because all of their power originates from a single unified source, which is the Heavenly Principles, making their feats a case of UES rather than separate ability/energy pools.
The Shades are not an independent beings but an extension/aspects of the Heavenly Principles itself, meaning their powers are not separate techniques but expressions of their fundamental existence, so it is the same authorities for them to do something like Control, Manipulate, and Combat. This means that their energy output (especially Asmoday and Istaroth with 4-A realm creations) and their physical stats derive from the same source, which qualify for UES. So unless there is explicit evidences that says:
What is the power of the Four Shades? Well obviously:
Asmoday's creations, which is the Watchers of the Temple of Space, also can fight based on space-related powers (that red-cube things), as seen here:
Examples of people/things who have used the power of the Four Shades
1. Mavuika
Ronova
As we all know, in Natlan Archon Quest, Mavuika borrowed the power from the Ruler of Death Ronova. The purpose is to fight and defeat the Abyss (Gosoythoth).
Mavuika explains that when someone receives power from the Shades, it's not the energy that adapts to their body, but their body adapts to the energy they receive. This means that a person's body will become stronger, which also means that Shades energy increases physical strength, hence why Mavuika said after gaining that level of powers, they will be more formidable/stronger than any archons.
2. Venti
Istaroth
Another case is Venti who were bestowed by Istaroth a fragments of her power and authority. Venti's case are more or less the same as Mavuika's, he's stronger physically to the point that he can throw the Mare Jivari off the timeline itself.
Conclusion
So by this point, we can conclude that the Four Shades' power are generally a UES. People who can use their powers are physically stronger as i have provided before, and the Shades themselves can use their powers to fight and create things without any other source of power/energy involved.
This would fit the standard where it basically says Prove the energy used to create something is the same energy usable for attacks or physical stats. Otherwise, you can’t scale it.

So unless there is explicit evidences that says:
- The realm is created via hax independent of their own energies
- Their durabilities is canonically shown to be far lower than their outputs
What is the power of the Four Shades? Well obviously:
- Naberius = Authority of Life
- Ronova = Authority of Death
- Istaroth = Authority of Time
- Asmoday = Authority of Space

And @DontTalkDT actually have said this:
- Even though there is concrete evidence for pocket reality creations to qualify as an Attack Potency feat; it should not be assumed to scale to physical statistics without some notable scaling reasons. Examples include on screen demonstrations, examples of destruction, or information that the same pool of energy used to create said dimension can translate to the same amount of energy being used for other abilities including but not limited to physical strikes.
"Yeah, as far as we agreed in the thread you don't need a normal city level feat to prove that a city level creation feat scales (that would be completely pointless tbh). It's sufficient to proof that your creation spells don't use more of your power than your attack spells. Of course it's a different issue should it be a complete outlier, but that is outlier business as usual."
Columbina
Feats:
She actually performed the feats twice:
- The first one is here, when we fight against Dottore. We can see how she created a realm with the starry sky and the three moons within it
- The same feat was shown here in her Selenic Chronicles quest
The same question arise: How can we scale this to her physicals?
Let's see another explanations:
There's a power called Kuuvahki Energy.
Kuuvahki itself came from the Three Moons' power. As a Moon / Trilune Goddess possessing all of the Three Moons' power, her main power is obviously Kuuvahki itself, because Kuuvahki came to be when Columbina, having traveled to the past and received the Trilunar Authority from her sisters, laid aside her body to permit her rebirth in Teyvat. Her discarded body was converted as Kuuvahki energy, which was subsequently distributed across Nod-Krai. So essentially, Kuuvahki is coming from herself.
She can also fight with this power as shown here, here, and here.
Kuuvahki being UES is should be obvious, because it is part of the Elemental Energy (which is an accepted UES in Genshin), and many people or things can use Kuuvahki, such as; the Moon Wheel users, monsters and plants, and even people utilize it for their daily life.
Rerir, who can absorbed Kuuvahki energy to empowered and multiply his strength:

This proves Kuuvahki can increases your physicals overall.
And then there's a Moon Marrow. The Moon Marrow is a divine artifact left behind in the aftermath of a Moon Goddess's death. As the remains of the Moon Goddesses, the Moon Marrows are a source of tremendous Kuuvahki Energy, and its power can make someone even more powerful.
As shown here with Arlecchino after possessing the Iridescent Moon's Marrow.
I think these are enough to prove Kuuvahki is a UES. And so therefore, Columbina's creation feats should scale to her physicals (AP, Striking & Dura)
