Early Game Progression
Prioritize the main story. Doing so unlocks farming, dailies, stamina-consuming content, and more. You will also notice mission-like objectives you'll complete naturally as you play (such as "Catch 3 Kibo"). These belong to "Star Journey Records," a mission list that teaches the game's content step by step.
Completing Star Journey Records grants many rewards that are extremely useful for subsequent progression. Clear these missions as you go.
Catching Kibo
Wild monsters known as Kibo can be captured using Stella Cards. Capturing Kibo is called Star Link in the game. The success rate of Star Link can be raised by lowering the Kibo's HP or by using a higher-rarity Stella Card. In the early game, Star Link every new Kibo you find.
Kibo are important for the farming system described below and for gaining the upper hand in combat. Stella Cards can be produced, but their supply is limited. Don't burn Stella Cards on every Kibo you see. However, starting the early farming system is difficult without a certain number of Kibo.
Gacha System

Farming
Advancing the main story to a certain point unlocks the farm system. Through it you produce a wide range of items: weapons, armor, farm tools, meals, Stella Cards, and saddles for riding Kibo.
Early construction and production require stone and wood in large amounts. Stone and wood can be gathered directly in the field, but direct gathering alone won't keep up with the demands of construction and production. The field contains gathering facilities such as logging camps and quarries; once unlocked and staffed with dispatched Kibo, they collect resources automatically. The field gathering facilities in the first map, Sprout Valley, are the main resource supply of the early game, so discovering and unlocking them is a top priority. Facility locations can be checked on the Map.
Unlock the 
Logging Camp and 
Quarry first and dispatch Kibo to them. Next in priority are the 
Gathering Hut, 
Hunting Ground, and 
Mining Camp. If you have spare capacity, also unlock the 
Element Altar, 
Feeding Ground, and 
Fishery. The number of Kibo you can dispatch is limited. Prioritize gathering facilities that are in demand.
| Priority | Facility | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Logging Camp | Gathers wood, a basic item required for all kinds of production |
| Quarry | Gathers stone, a basic item required for all kinds of production |
| Gathering Hut | Gathers food that keeps your Kibo fed. Kibo whose satiety drops stop working Once the farm takes shape, food can be produced inside the farm |
| Hunting Ground | Gathers leather needed for saddles and equipment, and meat needed for cooking Early-game demand is lower than wood and stone |
| Mining Camp | Gathers ore needed for Stella Cards and equipment Demand is lower than wood and stone, and a fair amount is handed out as rewards from various content early on |
| Element Altar | Gathers minerals needed for character stat upgrades and Kibo evolution Demand is very high overall, but a fair amount is handed out as rewards from various content early on |
| Feeding Ground | Gathers eggs that hatch into Kibo. This is an important facility because some Kibo can only be obtained from eggs, but its early-game priority is low |
| Fishery | Gathers fish meat and similar cooking ingredients Low priority early on because other facilities are in far higher demand |
Combat System
Up to 3 characters can be deployed in a team, and you control any one of them during battle. Each character can be assigned a partner Kibo, and the Kibo assigned to the active character automatically joins the fight.
| In-game term | Common term | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Normal Attack | An attack triggered by pressing the attack button |
| Charged Attack | Heavy Attack | An attack triggered by holding the attack button |
| Star Resonance Skill | Skill | A special skill with a cooldown |
| Star Decision Skill | Burst | A special skill that charges energy through attacks, perfect dodges, and the passage of time, and consumes that energy when activated |
| Star Companion Skill | Switch Skill | A special skill that activates when the active character is switched. Some trigger on entry and others on exit |
| Star Blessing | Passive Skill | A passive skill that is always active or activates automatically when specific conditions are met |
| Kibo Strike | - | The cooperative attack skill of the partnered Kibo |
You can answer enemy attacks with perfect dodges, counters, guards, and parries. Attacks with a yellow effect can be parried with a well-timed guard, while attacks with a red effect cannot be parried. Perfect dodge and dodge counter, however, work even against red-effect attacks.
Combat Tips
During battle, small element icons line up above the HP bar. These icons are Tuning Marks, showing which buffs are active on your team.
Tuning Marks stack up to 5 per element, and higher stacks grant stronger bonuses. Tuning Marks are shared by the whole team and gradually expire over time. When Tuning Marks from multiple elements are present, their effects apply simultaneously.
| Tuning element | Tuning bonus |
|---|---|
 Fire | Increases the team's ATK. Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Fire Tuning Damage. |
 Wind | Increases the team's Star Decision charge efficiency. Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Wind Tuning Damage. |
 Earth | Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Earth Tuning Damage and increased stance gauge damage. |
 Nature | Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Nature Tuning Damage and restores a portion of the active character's HP. |
 Ice | Increases the team's Physical and Magic PEN. Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Ice Tuning Damage. |
 Water | Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Water Tuning Damage and lowers the target's DEF for a short duration. |
 Thunder | Increases the team's CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Thunder Tuning Damage. |
 Light | Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Light Tuning Damage and one instance of fixed damage. |
 Dark | Increases all Elemental DMG dealt by the team. Every 5 seconds, the next attack deals an additional instance of Dark Tuning Damage. |
Tuning is gained by using skills with specific characters or Kibo, or by meeting certain conditions. Characters have professions, which divide them into types that consume Tuning, types that do not, and types that generate it. Even consumption-type characters, however, often have specific skills that generate Tuning.
| Profession | Description |
|---|---|
 Eruption | Deals massive burst damage without consuming Tuning |
 Rupture | Continuously consumes Tuning to shred the enemy's stance gauge |
 Assault | Quickly consumes Tuning to deal high damage |
 Amplifier | Excels at stacking Tuning efficiently |
 Imbuement | Provides diverse support and consumes Tuning to enhance a wide range of effects |
Data for all playable characters is available on the Characters page. See the Tier List and Best Team pages to learn how to build better teams.
Raising Your Star Insight Level
Quests, area quests, daily quests, Star Journey Records, and Star Links all raise your Star Insight Level, and raising it unlocks more and more of the game. If you get stuck because a facility is not unlocked or the next main story chapter will not start, prioritize content that raises your Star Insight Level.
