The equipping character can trigger this effect while off-field. All party members' Lunar Reaction DMG is increased by 10% for each different Gleaming Moon effect that party members have. Effects from Gleaming Moon cannot stack.
Linnea's Stat Priority
Linnea should ideally always use DEF% for her Sands and Goblet, as they are considerably stronger than Elemental Mastery. But Elemental Mastery can be used if you do not have DEF%. CRIT Circlet is always best, but DEF% can be used as an alternative if CRIT is not available. For the substats, CRIT is ideal to focus on, followed by Defense and then Elemental Mastery. Energy Recharge can be ignored since Linnea doesn't need her Elemental Burst every rotation.
Recommended Stats for Linnea
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Linnea's best free-to-play weapon, Slingshot. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
The stats shown here reflect Linnea on 4pc Aubade of Morningstar and Moon and Slingshot.
Linnea's Talent Priority
All of Linnea's damage comes from her Elemental Skill talent, so this should be leveled first. Her Burst doesn't deal damage, but it should still be leveled as this will greatly increase her healing. The Normal Attack talent can be ignored entirely.
How to Play Linnea
Linnea's playstyle is focused on buffing Geo and Lunar-Crystallize damage via RES Shred and Elemental Mastery, while dealing great off-field damage of her own. She can deal the majority of her damage upfront with the Ultimate Power Form of her Elemental Skill, by repeatedly tapping it on cast. Or, she can tap it once to use the Super Power Form, which will deal less damage upfront, but take less field time to perform, and have faster Geo application.
Linnea's Best Constellations
Linnea has an extremely powerful C2, greatly increasing her personal damage, while also giving her much greater buffing for the team. The rest of her Constellations are underwhelming and not worth going for, unless you intend to go all the way to C6.
| Constellation | % of C0 | % From Previous Constellation |
|---|---|---|
| C0 | 100% |
100% |
| C1 | 104% | 104% |
| C2 | 153% | 161% |
| C3 | 182% | 113% |
| C4 | 195% | 107% |
| C5 | 195% | 100% |
| C6 | 246% | 126% |
