Linnea appears to be a versatile DEF-scaling support centered around a new reaction called Lunar Crystallize (LC), which converts Hydro Crystallize into a Geo-infused variant with enhanced damage potential. She summons a companion named Lumi, who deals off-field AoE Geo damage tagged as LC and provides utility like RES shred and healing.

Standard bow normal attacks (details not fully leaked).

Elemental Skill: Tactics - Lumiya Hoho

Summons Lumi, who enters Super Awesome Form and continuously attacks nearby enemies, dealing AoE Geo DMG. If a Lunar-Crystallize reaction occurs, Lumi additionally deals AoE Geo DMG considered Lunar-Crystallize reaction damage.

Tap: Lumi continuously attacks.

Repeated Tap: Linnea demonstrates her true strength, dealing a particularly powerful instance of AoE Geo DMG considered Lunar-Crystallize reaction damage, then switches to Normal Awesome Form. Repeatedly tapping the Elemental Skill increases Linnea's interruption resistance.

Lumi Attack Forms:

  • Super Awesome Form: Uses Wild Hammer to continuously attack, each dealing 2 instances of AoE Geo DMG.
  • Moon Cage Nearby: Alternates Heavy Hammer attacks powered by Moon Cage, dealing AoE Geo DMG considered Heavy Hitter Lunar-Crystallize.
  • Ultimate Form: Mega-Ton Hammer, dealing an especially powerful instance of AoE Geo DMG considered Lunar-Crystallize, then switches to Normal Awesome Form.
  • Normal Awesome Form: Uses Wild Hammering, each attack dealing 2 instances of AoE Geo DMG.

Elemental Burst: Memo - Survival Guide in Dire Straits

Even master adventurers need rest. Linnea calls Lumi to enter her Super Awesome Form, restoring HP to all nearby party members for a short duration afterward. Healing scales based on Linnea's DEF.

If Lumi is already on the field, her duration will be reset instead, and her current attack form will not change.

Ascension Passives

A1: Field Observation Notes

While Lumi is on the field, enemies near Lumi have their Geo RES decreased by 15%.

A4: Moonsign - Full Radiance

Linnea's Elemental Skill "Tactics - Lumiya Hoho" and Elemental Burst "Memo" - enemies near Lumi have their Geo RES further decreased by 5%.

Utility Passive: Compendium of All Living Things

Based on the party's current on-field character, Linnea increases certain characters' Elemental Mastery by 5% of her DEF.

  • Moonsign Character: That character gains the Elemental Mastery bonus.
  • Not a Moonsign Character: Linnea gains the Elemental Mastery bonus instead.

Innate Passive: Moonsign Ascendant Gleam

When a party member triggers a Hydro Crystallize reaction, it is converted into a Lunar-Crystallize reaction instead. Additionally, based on Linnea's DEF, the party's Lunar-Crystallize Base DMG is increased by 0.7%, up to a maximum of 14% through this method.

Additionally, when Linnea is in the party, the party's Moonsign Level is increased by 1.

4th Ascension Passive: Master Adventurer

When not in combat, Linnea's Aimed Shot charging time is greatly reduced and becomes a specially crafted Ultra-Convenient Quick Arrow, which produces different effects depending on the target hit.

  • Specific Animals: Transforms into a special "Net," capturing the creature's spirit form and using it as a medium to recreate its physical body. Number of Nets usable each week is limited.
  • Ore: Linnea dispatches Lumi to quickly destroy ores. If Lumi is not already on-field, she will be briefly summoned to assist Linnea in gathering Lumi.

Damage dealt to enemies by the Ultra-Convenient Quick Arrow is reduced to 20% of its original value. After firing a certain number of Quick Arrows in this short period, Linnea must briefly rest before she can continue firing.

Constellations

C1: Incomplete Classification

"Tactics - Lumiya Hoho" or triggering a Moon Cage: Linnea gains 6 stacks of "Compendium Record," lasting 10s, up to a maximum of 18 stacks.

Record consumed by a party member increases Lunar-Crystallize scaling with 75% of Linnea's DEF.

Additionally, when Lumi in Ultimate Awesome Form uses the Mega-Ton Hammer, Linnea can consume up to 5 stacks of Compendium Record, each increasing damage based on 150% of her DEF.

C2: Tidings of Joy or Sorrow

Cage Harmony: All nearby Hydro and Geo characters gain +40% CRIT DMG, and Lumi in Ultimate Awesome Form using Hydro Mega-Ton Hammer gains +150% CRIT DMG.

Moonsign "Full Radiance": Mega-Ton Lumi uses Powered Heavy Hammer. If a Super Cage is nearby, a Moon Cage Harmony is triggered, which counts as all nearby Hydro and Geo characters triggering a reaction.

C4: Expert Intuition

For 5s after triggering a Moon Cage Harmony, Linnea and the party's current on-field character gain +25% DEF. While Linnea is on the field, this DEF bonus can stack.

C6: Golden Hunter's Dream

When casting C1 "Tactics - Lumiya Hoho" or triggering a Moon Cage Harmony, Linnea immediately gains maximum stacks of Compendium Record. Consuming Compendium Record now consumes double the stacks, and the damage bonus is increased to 150% of her DEF.

Moonsign "Full Radiance": Nearby party members' Lunar-Crystallize reaction damage is increased by 25%.

Potential Playstyle and Strength

Linnea excels in Geo-Hydro teams, enabling frequent Lunar Crystallize for massive team-wide buffs, RES shred, EM sharing, healing, and sub-DPS from Lumi. Her C0 provides strong value with no apparent ER issues and damage surpassing some established supports. Higher constellations amplify quill-like stacks (Compendium Record) for explosive LC damage.
