Understanding Stellar Reunion
Eligibility Requirements
Three criteria determine eligibility:
- Adventure Rank 10 minimum
- 14 consecutive days inactive (any login resets counter)
- 45 days since last activation (creates 59-day minimum cycle)
Eligibility doesn't expire once achieved—you can wait indefinitely until logging in.

- Day 1: 100

Total value: 2100 primogem-equivalent (13 wishes).
Activate Now vs. Wait for 5.3
Why Timing Matters
The 14-day duration creates overlap potential with version events. Activating during content-rich patches stacks primogem sources. The 45-day cooldown compounds this—activating now locks you out through mid-January 2025, excluding 5.3's peak period.
Version 5.3 Details (January 1, 2025)
Phase 1 (Jan 1-21): Mavuika, Citlali
Phase 2 (Jan 21-Feb 11): Arlecchino, Clorinde
Guaranteed rewards:
- Thank You mail: 1600 Primogems
- Lantern Rite Fates: 10 Intertwined
- Event primogems: ~2500-3000 (Lantern Rite, Emblem of Steadfast Valor, Shuyu's Beetle Battle)
- Daily Commissions (42 days): 2520
- Spiral Abyss (2 resets): 1200
Decision Framework
Activate immediately if:
- You need primogems for current banners ending soon
- You can't maintain 14+ days inactivity through January
- You plan extended breaks after 5.3 enabling another cycle by mid-2025
Wait for 5.3 if:
- You want Mavuika, Citlali, Arlecchino, or Clorinde
- You can reliably stay inactive until January 1
- You're confident completing tasks quickly during high-activity 5.3

The Overlap Advantage
Delayed activation compresses rewards into the same 14-day window. Resin spent counts toward both Reunion EXP and event requirements. This reduces total required active days (42 vs 56) but yields 1840 fewer total primogems.
Immediate activation maximizes absolute primogems. Delayed activation maximizes time efficiency and banner alignment.
Real Account Scenarios
Casual player, 40 pity, wants Mavuika, 1hr daily: Wait for 5.3. Limited playtime benefits from overlap. 11,520 primogems (72 wishes) + 40 pity = 112 total—sufficient for guaranteed Mavuika.
Dedicated player, 0 pity, wants multiple 5.3 characters, 3+ hrs daily: Activate now. 13,360 primogems (83 wishes) provides better odds at multiple five-stars across both phases.
Returning player, 65 pity, indifferent to characters, uncertain schedule: Activate now. High pity secures five-star soon. Uncertain schedule risks missing 5.3's window.
Strategic player, 20 pity, wants Arlecchino (Phase 2), consistent schedule: Wait for 5.3. Complete Stellar Reunion during Phase 1, apply all primogems to Arlecchino banner.
Version 5.3 Character Analysis
Banner Quality
Mavuika (Pyro Archon): Historical Archon pattern shows exceptional longevity. Venti, Zhongli, Raiden, Nahida, Furina remain top-tier years post-release. Safe long-term investment.
Citlali: Featured five-star suggests significant design investment. Early leaks indicate Cryo support—underserved role in Natlan.
Arlecchino: Top-tier Pyro DPS, independent from Bennett. Anchors teams without monopolizing universal supports.
Clorinde: Strong Electro DPS for Aggravate/Hyperbloom. Specialized but valuable for Dendro compositions.
Wish Requirements
Five-star guarantee: 90 wishes max (14,400 primogems)
Featured character guarantee: 180 wishes worst-case (28,800 primogems)
Stellar Reunion (2100) + 5.3 events (9420 delayed activation) = 11,520 primogems (72 wishes). Sufficient for one guaranteed five-star with average luck, or two with high existing pity.

Common Mistakes
Misconception: Stellar Reunion resets every patch False. Operates independently from versions. Eligibility requires 14 days inactive + 45 days since last activation. Strategic players track version roadmaps before activating.
Misconception: Multiple activations yearly Technically possible (6 max), practically unrealistic. Requires perfect 59-day cycles. Deliberate inactivity forfeits Daily Commissions (5040 primogems over 84 days) and events (6000+). Optimal: 2-3 strategic activations during high-value patches.
Misconception: Waiting always gives more Waiting shifts timing, doesn't increase Stellar Reunion rewards. Extended inactivity creates opportunity costs. Player inactive since October waiting until January forfeits 5400 primogems (commissions), 1800+ (Abyss), 2000+ (events)—far exceeding Stellar Reunion's 2100 value.
Maximizing Primogems Beyond Stellar Reunion
Event Stacking
Prioritize events with objectives overlapping Reunion EXP requirements. Combat events align with resin-based Radiance/Tracer Paths. Use Reunion Blessing double drops on resource domains to accelerate character building for exploration challenges.
Daily Optimization
Commissions: 60 primogems daily + Presage Path progress (10 EXP per 4 commissions, 5x repeatable)
Spiral Abyss: Resets 1st and 16th monthly. 600 primogems per 36-star clear + 40 Reunion EXP per 3 stars (2x repeatable). Time activation to overlap reset dates.
Strategic Top-Up
Calculate primogem gap before purchasing. Need 180 wishes (28,800) with 15,000 earned = 13,800 gap. BitTopup packages let you buy exactly what's needed.
Welkin Moon provides 2700 primogems over 30 days at minimal cost—exceptional long-term value extending earning window beyond 14-day event.
FAQ
How many primogems total? 500 direct + 1600 equivalent (10 Fates) = 2100 primogem-equivalent (13 wishes).
Can I activate during 5.3? Yes, if you meet requirements: AR10, 14 days inactive, 45 days since last activation.
How long does it last? Exactly 14 days from login. Timer runs continuously—logging out doesn't pause. Complete all objectives within window or lose rewards.
Does it reset with versions? No. Operates independently. Eligibility requires 14 days inactive + 45 days cooldown regardless of patch schedule.
Can I complete in one day? No. Login rewards require Days 1/3/5/7 minimum. Reunion Blessing gives 3 daily double drops (42 total needs 14 days). Resin regeneration (160 daily) prevents completing 1400-resin objectives instantly.
What if I wait too long? Eligibility doesn't expire, but extended waiting forfeits current commissions, events, Abyss—opportunity costs often exceeding Stellar Reunion value unless timing aligns with high-value patches.
