Star Savior Training System Guide: How To Min-Max Your Saviors

Star Savior Artwork 1

Star Savior’s training is built around two layers: classic levelling/resonance and a separate Journey system that creates Stella Archives (equipment-like growth records) through Uma Musume-style runs. Min-maxing means investing your resources in the right Saviors, running efficient Journeys, and optimising Stella Archives and Arcana synergy.​

Core progression pieces

Training and growth come from several interconnected systems:

  • Levels and resonance: Standard levelling plus breakthrough/limit break that raise base stats and combat power.​
  • Skills and Potential Points: Skills are upgraded with Potential Points earned through play, improving damage, healing, and utility.​
  • Gear and Stella Archive: Normal gear plus Stella Archive, an “exclusive weapon” generated from Journey runs that stores the stats of a trained build.​
  • Arcana (support cards): Support cards that boost training efficiency and add passive combat effects, similar to Uma Musume’s supports.​

Effective training is about aligning these parts around 4–6 core Saviors instead of spreading upgrades across your whole roster.​

Journey runs and Stella Archive

Journey is a turn-based raising mode where you plan a schedule of training, requests, and rest over multiple turns for a single Savior.​

Key Journey mechanics:

  • Each turn you choose between training (raising stats), requests (missions with rewards and events), or rest (recovering condition).​
  • Events, Arcana interactions, and amulet/roguelike choices add extra stats, skills, or traits based on your decisions.​
  • At the end of a run—success or failure—you receive a Stella Archive whose stats reflect the build you created; this becomes equipment for that Savior and influences PvP and high-end PvE performance.​

To min-max Stella Archives:

  • Focus on a stat profile that fits the role: ATK/crit for DPS, HP/DEF/resistance for tanks, HP/DEF/healing or support stats for healers.​
  • Prioritise training options and events that enhance those stats instead of evenly raising everything.​
  • Use Arcana that specifically boost your target stats or unlock powerful Journey events, then rerun Journey until you get a strong Archive worth keeping.​

Levelling, resonance, and skills

Outside Journey, your main levers are levels, resonance, and skills.​

Min-max priorities:

  • Push levels to current account cap on your main four Saviors before levelling secondary units; combat power scales heavily with basic levels.​
  • Use resonance/limit break materials on top-tier units only; JP/KR guides warn that the game is dupe-heavy, so wasting breakthroughs on weak units hurts later.​
  • Spend Potential Points on key skills: primary damage skills for DPS, core defensive CDs for tanks, and healing/cleanse/shield skills for supports.​

Vortex Gaming’s combat power guide stresses that upgrading skills and resonance often gives bigger effective gains than blindly grinding more levels once you are near soft caps.​

Arcana and training synergy

Arcana do two things for training: they modify Journey runs and provide passive battle bonuses.​

For min-maxing:

  • Equip Arcana that match your Savior’s intended stat line; many Arcana explicitly list better gains to certain stats during training, plus extra events.​
  • Prioritise Arcana that unlock high-impact Journey events such as big stat spikes, extra turns, or special traits that convert into powerful Stella Archive stats.​
  • For combat, look for Arcana that add damage multipliers, damage reduction, shields, or break-related bonuses that stack with your Savior’s kit.​

Because Arcana limit breaks mainly raise level caps and not skill effects in current builds, early community impressions see them as important but less brutally dupe-dependent than characters.​

Practical min-max routine

For each high-priority Savior:

  • Step 1: Raise level and resonance to your current account limit and equip solid gear.​
  • Step 2: Run Journey with matching Arcana, aiming for focused stat growth and key events, then equip the best resulting Stella Archive.​
  • Step 3: Upgrade 2–3 core skills with Potential Points and fine-tune gear and Arcana to cover remaining weaknesses (survivability, speed, or break efficiency).​
