★ INTRODUCTION ★
Today we will be looking at the new equipments, designated to the newly SP Battlesuit [Starry Impression].
With the 5.8 update, the new weapons designated to [Starry Impression] are: [Elysian Astra] and its PRI-ARM [Elysian Astra: Heart's Color].
With the 5.8 update a new stigmata set will be added, [Cézanne].
In this guide, I will explain the set and compare it to other weapon and stigmata options and talk about its usefulness on other Valkyries.
★ HOW TO OBTAIN ★
◆ After the v5.8 update you can get her Equipment through Equipment Expansion supply
As for any new generation A-rank Valkyrie, her set will be guaranteed in 120 pulls total (30 pulls per piece).
You can get [Elysian Astra: Heart's Color] through the Foundry, like all PRI-ARM weapons. Once you have obtained the [Elysian Astra], you can use it or other crosses at lvl 50 to craft the [Elysian Astra: Heart's Color].

★ EQUIP COMPARISON ★
Team used
- Rotations -
Griseo active -> ultimate -> HoS QTE -> combo x2 -> Ultimate -> PE QTE -> Ultimate -> evade -> charge -> change form -> charge -> active -> Griseo QTE -> special combo -> ultimate -> again until PE active.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Results -
NOTE!
Elysian Astra is the best weapon for Griseo and Hekate's Sombre is her best alternative.
Elysian Astra provides a good buff for the team and gives huge bleed trauma, so it could be used for other cross wielders. For Griseo it will give the advantage to auto-trigger the active through QTE.
Is good to get this weapon, but if you are unlucky and don't get it, some alternative exists.
★ STIGMATA COMPARISON ★
Team used
- Rotation -
Griseo active -> ultimate -> HoS QTE -> combo x2 -> Ultimate -> PE QTE -> Ultimate -> evade -> charge -> change form -> charge -> active -> Griseo QTE -> special combo -> ultimate -> again until PE active.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Results -
NOTE!
As you can see in the tests, there is a big difference with the Cezanne set, especially for the 2-pieces with the B present, compared to the other alternatives. Cezanne 2pc need the B piece and is very good for Griseo. TMB, TB, MB give a similar score, so if you don't complete the full set, don't mind, she will still be good. Cezanne-M will improve the performance against enemies with a bleed shield.
There are various alternatives if you miss one piece, but it will be bad if you miss the B piece.
If you don't get the B piece is better to use a different set, something like Holmes TM/MB or the combo Tesla T, Beethoven M, Newton B. (Beethoven support only melee dmg). Cezanne B can work also for other characters, with a similar function as Newton, but be careful it needs combo ATK's to trigger the effect of the B-piece and the CD to activate it again is higher than Newton.

★ CONCLUSION ★
IS good aim to her equipment the best choice is get weapon + 2-pieces set (with B).
If you want to use her without her gear the choice is Hekate + Holmes, if you don't have that and you are completly free to play, just play with the other alteranatives.
For a detailed look at her weapon please check out my battlesuit guide for [Starry Impression]
That's it~
