Astral Ring
Last updated 2026-08-04
Astral Ring is a type of battle system introduced in Version 7.3. All battlesuits released since Version 7.3 have the Astral Ring feature, and battlesuits released before Version 7.3 can only obtain Astral Ring features through their respective Divine Keys.
Overview
When a battlesuit with Astral Ring is assigned as the leader, the team will activate the Astral Ring system. All Astral Ring battlesuits will have one main Astral Ring Specialization and potentially multiple Astral Ring Attributes. Each Astral Ring Specialization has unique gameplay from the rest, usually focusing on a certain in-game feature.
Each Astral Ring Specialization will have an Astral Ring Attribute linked to it. Having the Astral Ring Attribute does not mean that the battlesuit will also have the Specialization. A battlesuit with an Astral Ring Attribute can enable the Specialization's effects when supporting a team.

Stellar Outburst and Astral Ring Intensity
When Astral Ring Intensity reaches its maximum, Stellar Outburst mode can be activated. Stellar Outburst refers to the buffed state Valkyries can enter, and where the Captain's AstralOp will unleash an Assist/Synergy ATK. Astral Ring Intensity can be earned by hitting enemies, some characters' sub-skills, stages, or enemies' effects while in battle. Picking up Astral Ring packs can also restore Astral Ring Intensity.
Once in Stellar Outburst mode, the remaining duration will be indicated by a circular progress bar. During Stellar Outburst mode, the corresponding skills of all characters protected by the Astral Ring will be activated, and Astral Ring Intensity cannot be restored through attacks temporarily.
After Stellar Outburst mode has finished, there will be a cooldown where it can't be entered again. In Part 2, if Captains exit the battle during Stellar Outburst mode, the remaining duration of Stellar Outburst mode will be converted into a proportional amount of Astral Ring Intensity.
Any time the Captain is not in Stellar Outburst mode, but has Astral Ring, they are counted as being in Astral Ring Charging mode.
AstralOps
When the leader has Astral Ring, the Astral Ring system will be enabled for the team, allowing an AstralOp or ELF (with their Astral Ring Skills) to be added to the team as an AstralOp for their Astral Ring effects. Their Assist/Synergy ATK's will only occur when Steller Outburst mode is entered. Their Recharge Skills are what allow Captains to gain Astral Ring Intensity when in Astral Ring Charging.
Notes
- ↑ For example, in a team that would need three Domain Resonance Attributes, Omniscient Star could count as one of them, despite not having the Attribute. This feature is currently unique in comparison to all other Astral Ring Attributes.
