Genshin Impact Level 95 and 100: How It Works

Genshin Impact Level 95 and 100 depend on one item, Masterless Stella Fortuna: per HoYoverse’s Version Luna I update details (10 September 2025), 1 takes a Lv. 90 character to Lv. 95, and 2 more take it to Lv. 100, with no additional materials. Below: where the item comes from, what the free “To Temper Thyself and Journey Far” routine costs in time, and who should spend it, as of Version 7.1 (live since 23 September 2026).

Masterless Stella Fortuna is the item that lets a Lv. 90 character break the level cap, up to Lv. 100, and raise its stats without additional materials. HoYoverse added it in Luna I alongside the existing Constellation system, where a normal Stella Fortuna unlocks a constellation. You spend 1 to raise the ascension limit and level to Lv. 95, then 2 more to go from Lv. 95 to Lv. 100. A community wiki adds that one Masterless Stella Fortuna is not tied to a single character the way a normal Stella Fortuna is, which is our reading of how it behaves in the Inventory.

Every source works the same way: a Stella Fortuna that arrives for a 5-star already at Constellation Level 6 turns into Masterless Stella Fortuna. That covers extra copies of a maxed 5-star, and it also covers the 5-star Stella Fortuna you redeem in “To Temper Thyself and Journey Far”, which pays out Masterless instead if the character is already maxed. At the Luna I launch, HoYoverse also issued Masterless Stella Fortuna based on how many maxed 5-stars you had obtained in earlier versions, and these were viewable in the Inventory. The Luna I post names no other source. The practical effect is that the item follows 5-stars you have already maxed, so a character at C0 to C5 does not generate any.

These are not ranked by speed, because no per-hour measurement exists for any of them in the sources we read; the table lists the condition and limit of each instead.

On timing: the Luna I post gives only the first event cycle, 2025/09/10 to 2025/12/01. Community trackers list the current cycle 5 as 10 August 2026 to 2 November 2026, with a Season 6 listed from 2 November 2026 to 25 January 2027. Per HoYoverse’s Version 7.0 update details, Stella Fortuna for Lyney, Wriothesley, Navia, Xianyun, Chiori, Sigewinne, Clorinde, Emilie and Yumemizuki Mizuki was added to the selection. Our reading: if cycle 5 does end on 2 November 2026 as listed, a player who starts in its final weeks cannot reach 8 weekly goals in it, so the next cycle is the realistic start.

The cost in time: one Stella Fortuna from the event means 8 weekly goals of 5 daily goals each, so 40 daily goals and at least 4,800 Original Resin (40 × 120). That Resin is spent on your normal activities while you meet the goals; it is not a separate fee. (The 2/5 head start in the Luna I notes applied only to the first week, until 15 September 2025, so it does not cut the count in later cycles.)

The reward unlocks once you have 8 weekly goals, in any 8 of a cycle’s roughly 12 weeks, not at the end of the cycle. A Lv. 100 character needs 3 Masterless, so on the event alone, starting at the beginning of a cycle with no missed weeks and three different eligible 5-stars at C6, the three rewards land around weeks 8, 20 and 32. That is our estimate, not a fixed time: existing progress and items you already hold change it.

What the stat gain looks like

HoYoverse publishes no stat table for every character. Its explainer of 29 August 2025 shows one illustrative example: base HP 13,061, ATK 822 and DEF 857 at Lv. 95, and 13,510, 859 and 887 at Lv. 100. It is an example for one character, not a rule for all, so check your own character’s stat screen at Lv. 95 before spending the next two.

Is it shared between characters?

The official post says it works on any level 90 character. A community wiki says it can go on 4-star or 5-star characters, and that it is shared rather than locked to one character. The post describes the item as consumed, and it does not say whether a spend can be undone.

“Level 100 needs new ascension materials”

The post says the cap break works without additional materials. Only the Masterless Stella Fortuna count matters for the 95 and 100 steps.

“Any duplicate 5-star gives Masterless”

The item drops when the Stella Fortuna is for a 5-star already at Constellation Level 6. An extra copy below C6 goes to the constellation instead.

“The event hands out Masterless directly”

The event pays a 5-star Stella Fortuna for the character you picked. You receive Masterless only if that character’s constellations are already maxed.
