Summary:
- Genshin Impact is finally letting players level up their characters to Lv. 100, but it won’t be as easy as the normal level-up and ascension requirements.
- A new item called Masterless Stella Fortuna is needed to level up characters, and players will need a total of three of three of them to reach 100.
- Masterless Stella Fortuna can be obtained every time players get a constellation of a 5-star character who’s already reached C6.
Genshin Impact’s Version 6.0 update finally lets players push characters past level 90. With the new Genshin Impact Masterless Stella Fortuna, you can now raise your favorite units all the way to level 100. It’s a big change for the game, but the item isn’t easy to get. Here’s a breakdown of what it is, how to earn it, and why it matters.
What is the Genshin Impact Masterless Stella Fortuna?
The Masterless Stella Fortuna is a rare new item added in Version 6.0. You need it to go beyond the old level cap of 90.
- One copy takes the level cap from 90 to 95.
- Two copies let you reach 100.
In short, you’ll need three Masterless Stella Fortuna for each character you want to max out. Because they’re so rare, you’ll need to choose wisely which character deserves it.
How to Get Masterless Stella Fortuna
Getting Genshin Impact Masterless Stella Fortuna isn’t simple. The main way is through Wishes and character Constellations.
- If you pull a duplicate of a character who is already maxed at C6, the game gives you a Masterless Stella Fortuna instead.
- Some events, like To Temper Thyself and Journey Far, also reward character Stella Fortuna. If your character is already at C6, those will convert into the Masterless version.
Another bonus—HoYoverse confirmed that your past pulls counts. If you’ve ever summoned extra C6 characters in older banners, you’ll automatically get some Masterless Stella Fortuna after the update.
Why Level 100 Matters
Hitting level 100 gives your characters more base stats like HP, ATK, and DEF. The boost isn’t game-breaking, but it does make characters stronger for late-game content such as Spiral Abyss.
That said, weapons, artifacts, and talents still matter much more for damage and team strength. For most players, level 90 is still perfectly fine. Going to 100 is more for completionists or for fans who want to make their favorite character as strong as possible.
This system mainly benefits big spenders or “whales”, since only they are likely to own multiple C6 characters. Free-to-play players will find it harder to collect these items. Still, there’s some hope—event rewards may slowly hand them out over time, especially for older characters.
Release Date and Availability
The Genshin Impact Masterless Stella Fortuna system arrives with Version 6.0 – Luna I on September 10, 2025. From then on, every character has the chance to reach level 100, if you have the resources.
Conclusion
The Genshin Impact Masterless Stella Fortuna sure changes the game. While it seems players might need to “whale” to level up their characters, devs promised that F2P players will still be able to clear content just fine with the Lv. 90 cap. The additional bonus coming with the raised level cap only makes gameplay easier for those willing to invest. However, it isn’t necessary for those who have no means of getting a Masterless Stella Fortuna immediately..
What do you think of this upcoming update? Have you maxed out some 5-star characters’ constellations yet?
