How Builds Work in Stella Sora
Builds in Stella Sora represent the potentials you pick out during character Ascension. These builds are saved as records and available to you when you challenge other game modes. Here are the basic principles of creating builds:
- You gain potentials during Ascension runs by leveling up, drinking Potential Drinks, and completing events.
- Orange and chromatic potentials can be stacked, and each duplicate increases the base potential’s stats and level, up to level 6.
- You can pick only two out of four pink potentials. You can’t stack pink potentials.
- You should not always follow the potential builds from the in-game guide. Those are often suboptimal.
- Potential cards are different based on whether the character is placed in the Main or the Support slots.
- You usually want to get potentials that buff the character and ally DMG and synergize well with other potentials you already have for that character.

Stella Sora Best Builds FAQ
A: No, every character actually has more than one best build, depending on what kind of effect you want, which position you’re playing it in, etc. The main thing to remember is that if you don’t experiment, you won’t find the next OP build.
Q: How often should you Ascend each character?
A: It’s best to Ascend a character until you make it usable. Most characters with suboptimal builds will feel far worse than those with proper builds, even if they are considered higher-tier.
Q: When should you stop Ascending?
A: One thing you’ll realize is that creating the perfect build is almost impossible in Stella Sora because of the RNG embedded into it. So, it’s often best to stop whenever you feel like you’ve already reached >80% of the build’s maximum potential.
