Genshin 6.5 (Luna VI) New Character
Linnea — 5★ Geo Bow
Linnea excels at off-field Geo application while providing reliable team-wide healing.
Her Elemental Skill summons Lumi in different forms depending on usage: a quick tap places Lumi in Super Power Form to deal periodic Geo damage, and repeatedly tapping feeds Lumi gemstones to trigger Ultimate Power Form, releasing a powerful Lunar-Crystallize attack before reverting to Standard Form. While feeding Lumi, Linnea gains strong interruption resistance. If her A1 Passive is active, nearby enemies receive reduced Geo Resistance, with extra reduction if Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam is active.
Her Elemental Burst summons Lumi in Super Power Form (unless already on the field) and heals the entire party. Afterwards, Linnea continues to heal allies over time based on her DEF.
Her A4 Passive boosts Elemental Mastery for either the active character or herself depending on Moonsign talent, further supporting team damage.
Overall, Linnea is a straightforward yet effective Geo supporter who combines consistent off-field damage with strong healing, fitting well into most Geo and Lunar-Crystallize teams.
Genshin 6.5 (Luna VI) New Weapon
Golden Frostbound Oath (5★)
Base ATK: 542 | CRIT DMG: +88.2%
Weapon Effect (R1): Increase DEF by 16%. When the equipping character's Elemental Skill or Lunar-Crystallize attack(s) hits enemies, gain the Frost Fae's Favor effect for 6s: Geo DMG inflicted by the equipping character increases by 40%, Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG increases by 40%. While this effect is active, if there are Moondrift(s) near the equipping character, all other nearby party members will gain the Frost Fae's Mischief effect: Geo DMG dealt increases by 20% and Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG increases by 20%. This effect can be triggered even when the equipping character is off-field.
