A new Genshin Impact 6.5 leak has revealed the complete Linnea ascension and talent materials, giving players an early opportunity to prepare resources ahead of her expected banner release. According to the leaked infographic, Linnea follows a Geo progression path and requires high tier weekly boss materials tied to the Dottore boss encounter.
Total Ascension and Leveling Cost
To fully level Linnea from 1 to 90, players will reportedly need:
• 7.1 million Mora
• 419 Hero’s Wit equivalent EXP books
• 168 local specialty material currently labeled as unknown in the leak
• 46 world boss drop material currently unidentified
• 18 Elixir of the Heretic, confirmed to drop from the Dottore weekly boss
The inclusion of Elixir of the Heretic strongly suggests that Linnea will rely on endgame weekly content for talent upgrades, tying her progression to one of the most demanding boss fights currently available.
Gemstone Requirements
As a Geo aligned character, Linnea requires Prithiva Topaz gemstones for ascension. The leak lists the following totals:
• 1 Prithiva Topaz Sliver
• 9 Prithiva Topaz Fragments
• 9 Prithiva Topaz Chunks
• 6 Prithiva Topaz Gemstones
This confirms her Geo element classification, aligning with earlier kit leaks referencing Geo damage and Lunar Crystallize scaling.
Talent Leveling Materials
For fully upgrading her talents, Linnea reportedly requires:
• 9 Teachings of Vagrancy
• 63 Guide to Vagrancy
• 114 Philosophies of Vagrancy
This indicates that her talent domain rotation will align with the Vagrancy book series. Players planning triple crown upgrades should also prepare:
• 3 Crown of Insight
Enemy Drop Requirements
The leak shows Linnea requiring large quantities of Frost Etched Warrant enemy materials in three tiers:
• 36 lower tier
• 96 mid tier
• 129 high tier
Additionally, she requires:
• 18 Elixir of the Heretic from the Dottore weekly boss
This reinforces that her full talent investment will demand consistent weekly boss farming.
Unknown Materials
Two materials remain unidentified in the leak:
• 168 local specialty
• 46 elite boss material (Keeper's Heavenly Descent - New World Boss) (update02/25/26)
The icons displayed suggest a new regional specialty item and a new elite boss drop, potentially linked to the 6.5 content expansion. Their classification as unknown implies they may originate from a new subregion or event domain introduced alongside Linnea.
Community Preparation Impact
With 7.1 million Mora, extensive talent books, and a heavy weekly boss requirement, Linnea appears to be a standard 5 Star investment in terms of cost. However, the reliance on Dottore materials may create a bottleneck for players who are simultaneously upgrading other characters tied to that boss.
Since Linnea is reportedly the only new character in Version 6.5, many players are expected to prioritize pre farming immediately following this materials leak. Geo gemstone confirmation further solidifies her element, matching previous leaks about her DEF scaling and Lunar Crystallize reaction mechanics.
As always, all material requirements are based on beta leaks and datamined information and may change before official release. However, the structured breakdown and numerical totals strongly suggest these values are near final within the current 6.5 build.
