A new permanent event coming to Version Luna I will allow players to get free 5-star constellations. 

Genshin Impact’s Version Luna I has a ton of new things to look forward to, but the one event every player is most likely incredibly excited for is the “To Temper Thyself and Journey Far” permanent event, simply because its rewards are incredibly worthwhile. 

The rewards? Besides the usual level-up materials and mora, completing the event will reward players with a Stella Fortuna for a 5-star of your choice from a pool of 25 characters. 

How does it work?

To participate in the event, players will need to be Adventure Rank 14, and they will need to have completed the World Quest “Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild” as well as the “Knights of Favonius” substory in Archon Quest Prologue: Act I “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind”. 

The event is set to last for 12 weeks with every patch starting from Version Luna I, with eight weekly training goals that need to be completed for players to select and redeem 5-star Stella Fortunas. A weekly training goal will be considered complete if a player finishes 5 daily training goals.

The daily training goals will most likely consist of objectives like procuring four Daily Commission rewards, or netting an Original Resin Consumption number of 120. 

Since this is a permanent event, this means you can collect 4 constellations every year, BUT you can only do so once per character. It’s going to be a bit of a grind, but in the end, we’re sure it will be worth it. 

Sumeru roster: C1 to C4, is it worth it? 

The pool of characters for this event is nothing to scoff at. The list consists of 18 event-exclusive characters and seven standard characters. And although the list does not have any of the meta-changing characters for Genshin Impact’s end-game content recently, you can never be too sure about the future of Spiral Abyss or Imaginarium Theatre. 

But here’s where we get down to the details. If you already have these characters but are lacking their constellations, you may be wondering which character will provide more benefit to your account with whichever constellations you can unlock. In that regard, we’ve got you covered! 

Each constellation you’ll be able to unlock may have different effects on how it changes your account per character. We’ll break down each constellation for the Sumeru characters included in the options up to C4, and their benefits (if there are any) to unlock:

CharacterC1C2C3C4CynoAfter using Cyno's Burst, his Normal ATK SPD is increased by 20% for 10s, and will have the chance to be refreshed if the effect of his Passive Talent is triggered during his Skill.Increases Electro DMG Bonus by 10% for 4s every time Cyno's Normal Attack hits an opponent. Max 5 stacks.Increase Burst level by three.When Cyno unleashes his Burst, all Electro-related reactions he triggers will restore 3 Elemental Energy to the party except himself.

Cyno's constellations are catered to his DPS capability, with C2 particularly being the best investment out of his constellations. Although C1 seems ideal given that Cyno is very hands-on with his attacks, thus also providing more instances for him to deal damage. 

Of course since Cyno's DMG is mainly from his Burst, C3 adds additional multipliers to his damage, while C4 attempts to address Energy concerns within his party–not really a constellation to write home about. 

CharacterC1C2C3C4DehyaIncreases Dehya's Max HP by 20%, and her attacks through her skill and burst will deal more damage based on her max HP.Duration of Fiery Sanctum created by Skill will be increased by 6s. Increases Burst level by three.Dehya's attacks will restore Energy to Dehya and 2.5% of her Max HP. 

There's definitely no question: if you're a Dehya main, then acquiring C1 is definitely a must. Not only does her C1 provide some ease to her otherwise clunky kit, but as a character whose multipliers rely on her Max HP, that 20% increase and additional damage is basically mouth-watering. 

In fact, there's no loss in getting Dehya's constellations. Her DMG mainly relies on both her Skill and Burst, with C2 and C3 providing additional leverage to her kit. C4 will basically allow you to spam her Skill and Burst with ease. 

CharacterC1C2C3C4NilouNilou's Skill will gain two enhancements: increases the DMG of Luminous Illusion by 65%, and extends the duration of Tranquility Aura by 6s.After a character affected by the Golden Chalice's Bounty deals Hydro DMG against an opponent, said opponent's Hydro RES will decrease by 35% for 10s, conversely if the character deals Dendro DMG, Dendro RES will decrease by 35% for 10s.Increases Burst level by three.Nilou will regain 15 Elemental Energy after doing the third animation of her Skill ATK string, plus provide an additional 50% DMG to her Burst for 8s.

There's nothing wholly negative to say about Nilou's constellations, save for the fact that if you're wanting to bring her to the next level, then you definitely should gun for trying to get as much as you can. Not only does her C1 provide a DPS increase to herself, her C2 is both supportive to herself and any Dendro character in your party. 

Although it's a given that Nilou's DMG in her Burst is not as important as her Skill, it doesn't hurt to add more multipliers to her Burst to make it a viable damage dealer against opponents, and C4 also attempts this.

CharacterC1C2C3C4TighnariCharged ATK Crit Rate is increased by 16%.Opponents within the aura of Tighnari's Skill will increase his Dendro DMG Bonus by 20%.Increases Burst level by three.Party gains 60 Elemental Mastery when Tighnari unleashes his Burst; with an additional 60 if the Burst triggers any Dendro-related reaction.

We think it's safe to say that Tighnari is hands-down the best Standard 5-star character you can get, simply because his constellations are amazing. C1 provides a whopping 16% Crit Rate increase to his preferred mode of attacking, which is his bow's Charged ATK, additionally, his C2 increases his Dendro DMG by 20% if the opponent he is facing is within the field of his Skill. Even his C4, although designed to be more supportive, adds a priceless layer of usability to his kit. 

CharacterC1C2C3C4WandererWhen Wanderer's Skill is active during his Windfavored state, his ATK Speed is increased by 10%, and his wind arrows deal an additional 25% of his ATK as DMG.When in the Windfavored State, Wanderer's Burst will have an increased DMG dependent on his Koguryoku Points, by a maximum of 200%.Increases Burst level by three.When Wanderer's Skill is triggered and his Passive Talent “Jade-Claimed Flower” is active, party members will gain a maximum 3 buffs.

Wanderer's constellations are tailor-made to further boost his DPS, so it would behoove you to attempt to get as much as you can. C2 alone is a total game-changer to Wanderer, making it a worthwhile investment if you're a dedicated Anemo main. Sure, Wanderer is more known for his devastating Anemo attacks through his Skill, but his Burst is nothing to scoff at either. 

His C1 also adds another option for ATK Speed increase if you don't have his signature weapon, and if you've never seen him do fast-paced combos, you're in for a treat and a new auditory stim to satisfy your ears. 

… Or just get a Masterless Stella Fortuna

Now if the roster of characters for this event aren't to your liking, you can always choose to avail a Masterless Stella Fortuna instead. As the name of the item suggests, it is basically an excess ‘Stella Fortuna’ that can only be received when you have extra copies of a 5-star character’s constellations.

This means that if you’ve already maxed out a 5-star character’s constellations, which is capped at six copies, you will readily have your hands on Masterless Stella Fortuna–given that you pulled another, unusable copy of said 5-star character. or have already reached the maximum constellations for any of the characters included in the roster for “To Temper Thyself and Journey Far” event.

Having Masterless Stella Fortuna will allow you to level up characters of your choosing to 100, which provides additional base stat increases that are worth it in the long run.
