Hello! Welcome new Captains![emoji]
I'm glad you decided to briefly read this guide about valkyrie equipment!
Brief
Before we begin, there are 2 types of equipment valkyries always need:
◆ Weapons
◆ Stigmata
These equipment are the essential for valkyrie to perform against the battlefield.
Weapons are one of the equipment that hold most of the valkyrie attack damage.
Certain valkyries have their own weapon types
Right now, there are 9 types of weapons:
◆ Pistol : Kiana, Kallen
◆ Katana : Mei, Yae Sakura
◆ Cannon/Heavy : Bronya
◆ Fist : Fu Hua
◆ Cross : Theresa
◆ Greatsword : Himeko, Vodka Girls (Rozaliya&Liliya)
◆ Scythe : Seele, Rita
◆ Lance : Durandal, Asuka
◆ Bow : Fischl
Weapon Menu
Weapon Stars
◆ 2 Star
Most of the time, 2 star weapons are weapons that are given by the system to new valkyries or valkyries you just got from gacha.
◆ 3 star
3 star weapons are weapons that are given by the system for completing the mission in story to beginners.
◆ 4 star
4 star weapons are weapons that use for alternatives if you don't have 5 star weapons. Most of the 4 star weapons can be crafted in foundry or event.
◆ 5 star
5 star weapons are the top tier weapons because of their high status and their effect. There are some 5 star weapons you can craft in foundry and get from specific event stages. However, most of the 5 star weapons that are useful for certain valks can only be obtain by gacha in the equipment supply.
◆ 6 Star (PRI-ARM)
6 star weapons only available for captain that reach level 81. But since this guide only for beginners, we'll talk about this later in other time[emoji]
Weapon Enhance
◆ Enhancing you weapon need certain mats. Those mats have to be the equal amount of exp that are needed for the weapon reach it max level.
◆ The level of enhance depends on the quality of the weapon:
For example from the image, Iris of the Dream is a 5 star weapon. Enhancing level 1 5 star weapon will cap it at level 35 and you can't enhance it any further unless you upgrade it.
Weapon Upgrade
◆ For Upgrade 5 star weapons, you need a rare mats called Honkai Cube. Honkai Cube can be obtained by combining 3 Honkai shards and Honkai Shards can be obtained by purchasing it in Asterite Shop with 50 AE Imaginon per shard.
◆ For the rest of the mats, you can buy it from Asterite Shop or play Weekly Event Stage. Or if you confuse where to get it, click the item and click the "get" tab to know the sources.
" How much Mats do i need for upgrading 5 star weapons and 4 star weapons?" [emoji]
5 Star Weapon
4 Star Weapon
◆ We have done learning the basic of weapon information. How to upgrade, how to switch, how to enhance, how to get, and how much mats to upgrade.
Now, let's move on to the next equipment, Stigmata. [emoji]
Not only Weapons, Stigmata also have Stars
◆ 2 Star
There are only 2 sets of stigmata that have 2 star which are Charlotte Set and Selena Set. You can obtain it along with Story Mode.
◆ 3 Star
There are only 7 sets of stigmata that have 3 star. These stigmata can be obtained while doing Story Mode.
◆ 4 Star
This Star are the most common stigmata for beginners to use. You can craft it in foundry or obtain it from certain event.
◆ 5 Star
This Star are really common for captains looking for release their valkyries highest potential. Some can be craft and came from event but most of them came from equipment supply. Yes, Gacha.
Stigmata Piece & Set
Piece
Stigmata have 3 different pieces:
◆ T Piece (Top)
◆ M Piece (Middle)
◆ B Piece (Bottom)
Set
Most of stigmata have set. This set have a special effect. Each set have their own unique effect depends on which stigmata set you want to activate. There are 2 types of set: 2-pc set and 3-pc set.
◆ 2-pc Set can be either be the combination of T and B, T and M, or M and B to activate the 2-pc effect.
◆ 3-pc Set MUST have the combination of TMB from that stigmata to activate 3-pc effect. Most captain will call this set as "Complete Set" or "Full set"
I will use Fuhua Margrave as the example
◆ From the image you can see the left one is T piece, the middle one is M piece, and the right one is B piece.
◆ These are T, M, and B piece effect. As you can see, they have their individual skills.
◆ However, since they are 1 set, their "Set Bonuses" will be the same. You can check each stigmata set and see if they have the same "Set Bonuses" to know if they are 1 set.
Activating Set Bonuses
◆ 2-pc Effect
At the left box, you can see the blue text with yellow [2-pc]. This mean that your 2-pc Set Bonuses activated!
◆ 3-pc Effect
At the left box, you can see another blue text with yellow [3-pc] under the [2-pc]. Also, Ai-chan will scream at you to acknowledge that you already have full set of the stigmata set.

Stigmata Enhance
◆ Same as weapon, your stigmata need to be enhance. Enhance need mats that have equally amount of exp for the max level.
◆ Stigmata enhancement also have the same system as the weapon enhancement. The first 4 star of 5 star will have level 35 cap and it will goes on to higher level if you upgrade them.
Stigmata Upgrade
◆ For 5 star stigmata upgrade, you need mats similar to weapon upgrade but without the Honkai Cube.
◆ Same goes to 4 star stigmata, the mats are the same with weapon upgrade mats.
Affixes
Note: Affixes can be the last thing you care for stigmata! The least you can do is max their level first!
◆ Affix is an additional effect for each stigmata piece. Affix will took effect to the user, not the stigmata.
Try to match the affix effect with the user. If your stigmata user need more ATK, search for ATK. If your stigmata user need more SP Regen, Try to find SP Regen.
Note:Specifically for ATK, Try to find ATK that match with your user. If your stigmata user are BIO Type,
find the one that increase BIO Type ATK. Or, you can use the one that doesn't specifically need certain requirement and just straight up saying "Gain --- ATK"
◆ Reroll cost Normal Crystal Core. The amount depends on the star of the stigmata. If your stigmata is 4 star, 1 affix cost 6 while 2 affixes cost 10. 5 Star 1 affix cost 24, while 2 affixes cost 40.
From this gif, there are 2 box in the reroll menu. There are Old Affix Skill and New Affix Skill.
Old Affix Skill are Affixes you currently have. While New Affix Skill are Affixes that you can decide to change to that affixes rather than the old one.
There are 4 option in reroll menu:
1) Reroll Again
Automatically reroll your affixes but keeping your Old Affix Skill.
2) Keep Old Affix
Exit the reroll menu and keep the Old Affix Skill.
3) Apply New Affix
Confirm to change you Old Affix Skill to New Affix Skill.
4) Decide Later
Exit the reroll menu and keep your Old affix Skill but still left the New Affix Skill in you reroll menu so you can decide it later to change to the new affix skill or not.
◆ If you can't find the "Affixes" Tab in your stigmata menu, you can activate it by clicking "Refine" Tab on bottom right of the stigmata and open the first Wafer affix. Click the "Apply New Affix" to confirm your first affix.
Note: Some stigmata are limited to use affixes and can't be added affixes.
◆ To get the second affix, you need additional item called Crystal Flashtank. "Apply new Affix" to confirm your second affix.
That's all the basic information for stigmata! [emoji]
Recommendation
◆ This game already provide Recommendation for beginners to guide you to the best equipment for your valkyries. There are 3 different types:
1) Basic

- For Beginners
This equipment use 4 star for easy-to-get equipment because most of them can be craft in foundry.

This equipment are the best equipment for said valkyries. Most of them are gacha or from foundry.
- Economic
This equipment could involve 4 and 5 star equipment from the Foundry for Captain who doesn't interested to gacha for their "Master" equipment at the moment.
2) Memorial Arena
This equipment are what this game recommend for you to play in Memorial Arena
3) Abyss
This equipment are what this game recommend for you to play in Abyss
Salvage
◆ Have an unwanted stigmata or weapon? you can salvage it!
◆ Each stigmata and weapon can be salvaged into mats that require unique rules:
- If your 5 star equipment obtained from gacha/bounty, those weapons will be salvaged into 1 Honkai Cube, while the stigmata will be salvaged into 1000 stigmata resonator. Stigmata Resonator can be use in Exhange Shop where you can get 1 piece of offered stigmata for the cost of 6000 stigmata resonator. This type of equipment can be seen as "Rare" in the Salvage menu.
- If your 5 star equipment obtained from foundry that is in "Basic" group or weapons that are crafted with 150 AE Imaginon, those weapon still turn into Phase shifter and the stigmata will turn into 20k asterite.
- If you want to salvage 4 star equipment. Both will give sakura will and microreactor if you salvaged them.
Checking Your Stigmata is a Set or 1-PC
◆ 1-pc stigmata is a piece of stigmata with no set bonuses. So they have independent effect and cannot be a "filler" for other stigmata set.
◆ Also, you can use this method to check if you have full set of certain stigmata or not.
Note: a visible unlocked stigmata piece can be seen as unlocked but doesn't always mean you still have it in your inventory. It could be salvaged and your stigmata info still said you EVER had it.
And that's it Captains!
I know this guide quite long for you new captains, but this guide can be your handbook for the next time if you need more insight about equipment! Feel free to ask me in comment about equipment!
Thank you!
