Linnea
Linnea is a fantastic pick if you're into Lunar reaction teams — she deals steady off-field damage and heals herself along the way, making high World Level content much safer. What she needs most is a full 4pc Aubade of Morningstar and Moon and Geo buffers like Illuga or Columbina to unlock the reaction. Don't rush her signature weapon: the F2P Slingshot is perfectly fine to test the waters. Push DEF hard before chasing CRIT to hit her damage buff threshold. Just know she's team-picky, so think twice if you don't already have Lunar-reaction characters.

Teams for Linnea
Linnea's talents
Capture Protocol
Performs up to 3 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, stone crystals will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged crystalline arrow will deal Geo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Countermeasure: Lumi's Battle Cry!
Tap
Lumi strikes in a Super Power Form, attacking nearby enemies continuously, dealing AoE Geo DMG. If there are Moondrifts nearby, Lumi will also deal AoE Geo DMG to nearby enemies, which will be considered Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG.
Continuous Tapping
Time to show what we're really capable of! After using her Elemental Skill, Linnea will feed Lumi sparkling gemstones when her Elemental Skill or Normal Attack is Tapped repeatedly. A full-bellied Lumi will strike in her Ultimate Power Form, dealing an especially powerful instance of AoE Geo DMG that is considered Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG, switching to Standard Power Form.
Additionally, tapping the Elemental Skill increases Linnea's interruption resistance.
"You're up, Lumi!"
Memo: Survival Guide in Extreme Conditions
If Lumi is already on the field when Linnea unleashes Elemental Burst, Lumi's active duration will be reset instead and her Strike Form will not change.
"Any professional adventurer worth their salt prizes making it out of a serious jam over making discoveries, however unprecedented!"
Field Observation Notes
Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: Linnea's Elemental Skill Countermeasure: Lumi's Battle Cry! and Elemental Burst Memo: Survival Guide in Extreme Conditions are enhanced. After summoning Lumi, the Geo RES of opponents near Lumi will be further decreased by 15%.
Universal Naturalist Archive
· Is a Moonsign character: Increase this character's Elemental Mastery.
· Is not a Moonsign character: Increase Linnea's own Elemental Mastery.
Moonsign Benediction: Habitat Survey
Additionally, when Linnea is in the party, the party's Moonsign will increase by 1 level.
Master Adventurer
· Specific animals: Ultra Convenient Quick Arrow will be transformed into a special "Net" that can capture the essence and form of these animals, using them as a medium to manifest the animal's physical form again. The "Net" can only be used for a limited number of times each week.
· Ore veins used in forging: Linnea will dispatch Lumi, who will quickly strike at the ore marked by the Ultra Convenient Quick Arrow, then collect the dislodged ore. If Lumi is not on the field, Linnea will summon her for a short duration to help obtain the ore.
The DMG dealt to opponents by Linnea's Ultra Convenient Quick Arrow is reduced to 20% of her original Charged Arrow. Additionally, after firing a certain number of Ultra Convenient Quick Arrows within a short period of time, Linnea needs to take a temporary break before she can continue using them.
Combat Rotation
- Cast Elemental Skill (E) to summon Lumi in Standard Power Form, dealing AoE Geo DMG and lowering nearby enemies' Geo RES.
- Keep tapping E or Normal Attacks after the Skill to "feed gemstones" to Lumi, upgrading her to Ultimate Power Form for a powerful AoE Geo hit counted as a Lunar-Crystallize reaction.
- When the team needs healing or before a big damage window, unleash the Burst (Q, 60 Energy) so Lumi continuously heals the active party based on Linnea's DEF.
- If Lumi is already on the field when you cast Q, it only refreshes her duration instead of changing her form — time this to keep Lumi present for as much of the fight as possible.
- Swap to your main DPS to attack while Lumi stays on the field, benefiting from the Geo RES shred and passive healing.
- When Linnea is on-field alone, use her Aimed Shot to charge crystal onto the arrowhead for Geo DMG, triggering Lunar-Crystallize if Hydro is nearby.
- Repeat the loop: return to Linnea whenever Skill (18s CD) or Burst (15s CD, 60 Energy) comes off cooldown to keep Lumi and the healing uptime going all fight.
Linnea constellations
When unleashing Elemental Skill Countermeasure: Lumi's Battle Cry!, or when triggering Moondrift Harmony, Linnea gains 6 stacks of the Field Catalog effect for 10s. Max 18 stacks. When nearby party members deal Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG, consume 1 stack of Field Catalog to increase the DMG dealt. The increase in DMG is equal to 75% of Linnea's DEF.
Additionally, when Lumi uses Million Ton Crush in her Ultimate Power Form, Linnea can consume up to 5 stacks of Field Catalog. Each stack will increase the DMG dealt by 150% of Linnea's DEF.
Within 8s after triggering Moondrift Harmony, all Hydro and Geo party members have their CRIT DMG increased by 40%. Additionally, when Lumi uses Million Ton Crush in her Ultimate Power Form, the CRIT DMG of that attack increases by an additional 150%.
Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: When Lumi uses Heavy Overdrive Hammer in her Super Power Form, or when she uses Million Ton Crush in her Ultimate Power Form, an instance of Moondrift Harmony will be triggered. For this instance of Moondrift Harmony, all Hydro and Geo characters in the party will be considered to have applied their Elements in the reaction.
Increases the Level of Countermeasure: Lumi's Battle Cry! by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Within 5s after Moondrift Harmony is triggered, increase the DEF of Linnea and your current active character by 25% respectively. When Linnea is on field, the DEF-increasing effect can be stacked.
Elemental Burst Memo: Survival Guide in Extreme Conditions increases by 3 Levels.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
The effects of the Constellation, Provisional Classification, are enhanced: When unleashing Elemental Skill Countermeasure: Lumi's Battle Cry!, or when triggering Moondrift Harmony, Linnea will directly gain the maximum number of Field Catalog stacks. When consuming Field Catalog, consume twice the original number of stacks, such that the increase in DMG will be boosted to 150% of the original value.
Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG dealt by nearby party members is elevated by 25%.

Birthday
Happy Birthday... This isn't the most valuable gift, but it's something I've had in my collection for a long time... Please accept this fossil. See this? These are bone and feather impressions from a long-extinct bird species. They'll never fly again, and yet the moment that this one spread its wings has left an imprint that will last long into the future. So, even if life fades in the end, there will always be some proof of our existence left behind. May your life be as tenacious as an old tree, with each and every ring telling a beautiful tale.
Self-Introduction
Hello
Hey there! I'm Linnea, an advisor with the Adventurers' Guild, and this little thing is my buddy, Lumi. If you've got any questions about adventuring in the wild, I'm your gal! Oh yeah — and if you ever come across any strange or unusual creatures on your adventures, be sure to tell me all about it!
About Linnea: Seeking and Waiting
There are so many weird and wonderful creatures in this world, but trying to uncover their secrets is like playing hide-and-seek with a really shy friend... Luckily for me, I'm good at seeking, and good at the waiting game, too.
About Linnea: Childhood
Even though I didn't get to live with my real family, I know they loved me in their own way... I grew up nurtured by a very different kind of love from what most kids experience.
More About Linnea: I
Wait, you have questions about me? Not my archive, or adventuring tips? Huh, well that's a perspective I don't think about every day. If I was the object of my own observations... what conclusions would I draw?
More About Linnea: II
Even though I'm no longer a member of the Conch Gang, I still go back and see everyone when I have the time. Speranza is like a home to me, and I suspect that having that one place I could always go back to was the only reason I found the courage to explore this world. The selfless love that they showed me when I was feeling lost and desperate helped me to realize that the world hadn't rejected me after all...
More About Linnea: III
Something I used to worry about was, how Lumi would cope outside of the tundra? Especially when I was getting ready for my trip to Natlan. I was so scared, I could barely sleep... What if Lumi slowly melted like a snowman in high temperatures? *shudder*... just thinking about it now still scares me! Fortunately, from what I've observed, temperature doesn't really affect Lumi. Even one time when she nearly fell into lava, she was still grinning away happily. Pretty incredible for a Jack Frost, I gotta say.
More About Linnea: IV
"Go, child of the fae. Make your way to the villages and towns and seek kinship with the humans. The world of the fae is rife with a sorrow you do not understand..." My parents tried to free me from the river of fate by placing me in a human cradle, hoping that humanity's ignorance of their fate would shield me like a cocoon, protecting me against the damage of premature grief. There was a time when I didn't understand, but now I know the truth — theirs was a love born of sorrow... Perhaps the scars will never fade, but better a scar than a bleeding wound.
More About Linnea: V
Like my sister says, it's possible that one day in the future, the fate of the Augury Birds will come for me eventually. But until then, I just want to enjoy the process of exploring the world and understanding the unknown. I want to sail the Golden Beagle to every corner of Teyvat, and fill every page in my archive... Who knows, maybe when that day comes, I'll be able to understand my sister's pain and loneliness for myself... I'll give her a big old hug, and we'll be closer than ever.
About Us: Travel Experiences
Wow... It's amazing that so many incredible stories can even fit inside one person's head! I've learned so much from talking with you... Heck, maybe I should recommend you to the Adventurers' Guild as an advisor, too!
About Us: Sharing
You pretty much know my whole story by now, but I've only gotten a tiny glimpse into your world... If you're open to it, I'd love to hear all about your past adventures that I wasn't there for. In return... I'll save you a spot on the Golden Beagle!
Thoughts About Other Characters
Aino
Oh, we were in the Conch Gang together, you know. Aino was such a cutie when she was little. Then at some point, she became all about her machines... Oh, uh, Aino's still pretty little, I guess — and still super cute. Her hobbies though? Not so much... Don't get me wrong, I totally support her no matter what she's into! It's just... I can't really handle being around moving machines... Probably something to do with me being a changeling.
Ineffa
I hear she makes the sweetest, most delicious krumkakes around. Sadly, I've never had a chance to try one, because I instinctively run away the moment she shows up... Even though I'm pretty sure she just wants to ask me a question. *sigh* Maybe next time I visit, I should get Aino to tie me to a chair so I can finally hear what she has to say, hehe...
Lauma
Her antlers are so pretty... Once, I very politely asked her if I could touch them. She, uh, very politely refused. Turns out the Frostmoon Scions are even stricter than the Melusines...
Flins
I feel like Mr. Flins has to be one of the most knowledgeable Fae out there. I haven't even spoken with him that much, but I learned a lot from the few conversations we've had.
Nefer
Anyone who's active in Nod-Krai is bound to end up crossing paths with the Curatorium of Secrets eventually. Miss Nefer is incredibly efficient — you won't find a more reliable partner than her. But I'm actually more interested in her cat than her intel. Ashru, oh Ashru... you are no ordinary kitty, that's for sure...
Illuga
He's pretty young for a squad leader in the Lightkeepers. Must be a pretty talented guy. Unfortunately, we met under slightly chaotic circumstances, so I probably didn't make a great impression... I really hope he'll still let me do the archive entry for Aedon...
Sandrone
I dunno if you knew this, but Katheryne from the Adventurers' Guild was actually created by the Fatui Harbinger, Marionette. Strangely enough, I don't feel any kind of aversion towards Katheryne, even though I usually can't handle moving machines... Must be something to do with the technology Marionette used — whatever that could be. Anyway, it's just as well, 'cause otherwise I'd have to get Sarin or someone else to pick up my commissions from the Guild for me. If I ever get the chance to meet Marionette, I owe her a huge thank-you!
Hobbies & Personality
Linnea's Hobbies
When I'm observing other creatures, I like to imagine being one of them, living a totally different life from my own... Just think what it would be like to be a Melusine! I'd be able to see all the colors that they see. Although, things like that are kind of impossible to imagine without seeing it for yourself.
Linnea's Troubles
I put a lot of time and effort into building my ore collection, but somehow, a few samples always seem to go missing... Wait, maybe... is Lumi eating them...? Lumi, open your mouth! Say "Aaah"!
Favorite Food
I like sweet stuff. Newly picked berries with beads of dew on them, sugar sculptures made of fresh honey, cakes hot out of the oven... Just wish they were more readily available when I'm out adventuring in the wild.
Least Favorite Food
I wouldn't say that there's any food I really hate, apart from the stuff that's super unhealthy. The idea of throwing away perfectly edible food just because it's not quite to my personal tastes seems very wasteful.
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
My senses have become keener.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
I've gained a deeper understanding of the things in this world.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
I can feel the flow of energy... Like a sailor who has mastered the patterns of the ocean currents. This voyage will be much smoother from here on out.
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
My knowledge is transforming into intuition... I believe in this world as I do in a daisy.
Receiving a Gift
Receiving a Gift: I
Mmm! This is delicious! How did you make it? Can you teach me?
Receiving a Gift: II
Yum! Next time, it's my turn. I wanna see what you think of my cooking.
Receiving a Gift: III
Uhh... Well... at least it's not a health risk.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- This kit's mechanic scales with the character's own DEF, with a clear cap per the official formula (see the recommended stat goal below).
- At Lv90, Linnea already gets +19,2% CRIT Rate baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- Can restore HP for the team via Memo: Survival Guide in Extreme Conditions.
- Has Interruption Resistance while using Countermeasure: Lumi's Battle Cry! — hard to stagger or interrupt mid-combo.
- Buffs DMG for teammates carrying Geo via Tidings of Joy and Sorrow.
- The core mechanic (via Memo: Survival Guide in Extreme Conditions) scales with DEF — DEF% is a rarely-contested artifact substat, usually easy to roll extra of.
- The Normal Attack (via Capture Protocol) already deals innate Geo DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
- This mechanic's payoff depends on the character's own DEF — falling short of the recommended goal below wastes part of its potential.
- Needs Geo teammates in the party to fully trigger Tidings of Joy and Sorrow — flexibility is constrained by team elemental composition.
- Needs a teammate to trigger a specific elemental reaction to activate Moonsign Benediction: Habitat Survey — not every team composition can supply this.
- Since it scales with DEF (via Memo: Survival Guide in Extreme Conditions), most teammates' ATK%/EM buffs are nearly useless on it — needs its own dedicated DEF gear/weapon.
- 5★ (Bow) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.
Recommended Stat Goal
- DEF ≈ 2.000 — For every 100 DEF, Moonsign Benediction: Habitat Survey adds 0,7% (capped at 14%) — derived goal: roughly 2.000 DEF to hit that cap.
Recomputed from the official formula itself (not a third-party recommendation).
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
