Stellar Affinity Currencies & Resources
Know each sink before you tap confirm — especially after launch mail.
Stellar Affinity economies mix premium currency, summon tickets, stamina/energy items, bond gifts, and upgrade materials. Client names vary by language pack (English marketing vs Korean 성간의 유대 vs Chinese 星慾姬絆 labels), but sinks stay similar. After the 29 July 2026 EROLABS launch, learn the difference between star fragments (碎星) style fuel and star diamonds (星鑽) before you tap a banner.
Currency map
| Resource | Primary use | Do not waste on |
|---|---|---|
| Star diamonds / premium gems (星鑽) | Limited banners / value packs | Random off-banners |
| Star fragments / general fuel (碎星) | Levels, crafts, broad progression | Panic shop cosmetics |
| Tickets | Targeted summons | Day-one multi-pulls without a plan |
| Stamina items | Planet farming | Hoarding past cap forever |
| Bond gifts | Hime Bonds, Cumpanions | Spreading across 30 girls |
| Upgrade mats / books | Carry first | Even distribution |
| Event shop tokens | Timed unique pieces | Leftover conversion without reading rates |
Launch injections (usually not codes)
| Injection | Approximate value | Claim path |
|---|---|---|
| Server fragment gift | ~5000 碎星 after CBT clear goal | Mail — launch rewards |
| CBT spender return | 200% 星鑽 value, same account | |
| Login pull campaign | ~200 pulls across window | Login UI — beginner week |
| Seven-day carnival | Mixed tickets/mats | Event board |
| Public gift codes | Sparse / variable | Redeem — active codes |
If you paste fragment mail text into Redeem, it will fail. Use how to redeem only for alphanumeric keys.

- Pull only toward tier list goals wired in team builds.
- Keep a gem reserve for sudden current events banners.
- Burn stamina on a combat & idle rhythm instead of letting caps rot.

Currency discipline is how F2P captains stay competitive with whales who only chase sparkle.
Worked examples
Example A — F2P day-three: You claimed fragment mail and three login ticket batches. Carry is chosen. Spend fragments on levels/skills, put tickets into newbie recruit only, gift bond items to carry + anchor, ignore cosmetic shop.
Example B — CBT return captain: Mail shows a large 星鑽 pile. Screenshot it. Finish the same F2P plan first. Only then allocate a written diamond budget toward a limited support that completes best teams. Do not celebrate by emptying the wallet on the standard banner.
Example C — Empty codes week: Active codes shows no strings. You still have carnival tokens. Tokens buy carry books in the event shop; leftover stamina becomes combat & idle clears. No coupons required for a productive night.
Caps and rot
If stamina or energy items are near a cap, burning them on comfortable farms beats “saving for a perfect node” you will not reach this week. Rotten stamina is the quietest way to waste launch generosity.
Region labels and double-counting traps
Screenshot wallets after big mail days so you do not redeem a code, claim carnival, and buy a pack while undercounting what you already gained. Double-counting creates false poverty and panic purchases. If your client shows both English and CJK labels for the same pile, still count it once.
When active codes finally lists a string, add the reward to the correct row in the currency map before spending. Ticket codes are not fragment codes; mixing them in your head is how people “lose” resources that are sitting in another tab of the bag.
Shop timing
Event shops beat permanent shops while timers run. Permanent shops beat panic banners when you are undecided. Fancy limited packs beat nothing if your carry artifacts are empty — finish divine artifacts craft goals first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Should I buy stamina?
Only when a time-gated event needs it — see [current events](/events/current/).
Convert tickets to gems?
Avoid undocumented conversions; use intended banners via [gacha & summon](/guides/gacha-summon/).
Inventory full?
Spend gifts on mains; craft/upgrade carry gear on [divine artifacts](/items/divine-artifacts/).
Where do event shops fit?
High priority if they sell carry mats — track under [events](/events/).
Are CBT return diamonds different currency?
They arrive as in-game diamond value in mail; spend them with the same rules as other 星鑽.
