Stellar Affinity Launch Rewards (July 2026)
Everything worth claiming from the 29 July 2026 EROLABS open — and what expires first.
Stellar Affinity (Korean: 성간의 유대, also marketed in Chinese as 星慾姬絆) entered open service on EROLABS on 29 July 2026. Launch coverage from partner outlets detailed server-wide gifts, CBT spender returns, newbie recruit tools, story free six-star growth, login pull campaigns, and a seven-day carnival. This page consolidates those claims so captains know what to click before timers die.
Always verify mail text in your own client — regional wording differs. Public alphanumeric codes remain on active codes; most launch value is mail / event UI, not the gift-code box.
Launch reward board
| Reward | Who qualifies | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 5000 star fragments (碎星) server gift | Accounts after the “1000 captains clear normal 10-10” CBT goal | Check mailbox / claim UI |
| 200% star-diamond (星鑽) return | Elite wipe-CBT spenders on the same account | Login once post-launch, open mail |
| Newbie targeted recruit | New captains | Pick one rate-up target (gacha & summon) |
| Story free core → 6★ path | Players clearing main docks | Push story (planet walkthrough) |
| Cumulative login free pulls (≈200) | Daily logins in window | Follow beginner week |
| Seven-day carnival missions | Everyone online that week | Clear bond + stage tasks |
What is not a “code”
Many captains confuse mail gifts with redeem codes. Launch fragments and CBT returns arrive through in-game mail / event UIs. If the active codes table is empty this week, you can still be rich in launch mail. Redeem hygiene still matters for livestream strings — see how to redeem.
Priority claim order
- Bind EROLABS account (download & PC).
- Open mailbox — claim fragments + CBT returns.
- Start carnival day 1 + login day 1.
- Choose newbie recruit target before spending loose tickets.
- Push story far enough to unlock free core growth mats.
- Only then decide limited banner spends against tier list.
CBT 200% return details
Partner launch notes state that captains who purchased during the elite delete-CBT receive mail worth 200% of that spend in star diamonds after official launch, if they use the same account. Practical warnings:
- New accounts do not inherit another device’s CBT wallet.
- Screenshot the mail before claiming in case of support tickets.
- Do not assume the return equals cash — it is in-game diamond value.
- Spend returned diamonds with the same discipline as F2P gems on currencies.
Seven-day carnival + login pulls
Use the calendar on beginner week. Carnival tasks usually force a healthy mix of combat & idle clears and Hime Bonds / Cumpanions actions. Skipping intimacy days is how people “run out of missions” with tickets still unclaimed.
Idle sessions cover material grind while you work; bullet-hell stages cover story walls. Alternate them instead of doom-running one mode until burnout.
After the launch week
- Move leftover tickets into a written banner plan (current events).
- Archive finished campaigns under patch notes mentally — do not keep spending as if every week is launch week.
- Keep redeem hygiene via how to redeem and the codes tracker.
- Lock a carry path with progression and team builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is 5000 fragments a redeem code?
No — it was described as a server-wide mail / claim reward after the CBT clear goal. See also [active codes](/codes/active/) for true strings.
I skipped CBT. Do I still get 200% diamonds?
That return targets CBT spenders on the same account. New F2P accounts still get login/carnival value via [beginner week](/guides/beginner-week/).
Where do I spend fragments first?
Into the carry path on [progression](/builds/progression/) after reading [currencies](/items/currencies/).
When does carnival end?
Check the in-client timer; use [beginner week](/guides/beginner-week/) as the habit template.
Should I pull the entire login stash on day one?
No. Pick a newbie recruit target first using [gacha & summon](/guides/gacha-summon/) and the [tier list](/characters/tier-list/).
