Blue Star Origin Travel Ballad 2026 Latest T0 Character Chipo Build and Team Guide

"Blue Origin: Travel Ballad" hasn’t launched globally officially as of September 8, 2026. A closed beta test was completed in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, and the game’s official channels have opened pre-registrations on both App Store and Google Play. That means all the character strengths, skill stats, and gacha rules you see right now are basically "work-in-progress answers" from the beta—don’t take them as final rules for the official launch, okay?

But from what’s been shown in the beta, the combat system is already pretty clear: build a team of three characters paired with "Chibos" (the game’s cooperative unit mechanic), and everything revolves around element tuning, on-field damage, skill switching, break states, and Chibo skills. So when I rate characters, I don’t just look at if they’re 5-star or how high their ultimate damage is—what matters is if they let the whole team run smoothly.

Also, a lot of old translations and early beta info online are mixed up—some people list Ainis as a 5-star, Moyin as a Fire-type, or Luluka as a Wind damage dealer, but those don’t match the latest beta data. This guide for *Blue Origin: Travel Ballad* is based on the most recent, verifiable beta info, and we’ll keep an eye on any changes that might hit the official launch.

I. 2026 Latest Version Character Tier List

A. T0 to T3 Character Tiering Standards

I’ll rank characters from T0 to T3, but this list is better seen as a "beta investment reference": T0 means characters that can build a full team on their own with irreplaceable roles; T1 has high power but needs specific team setups; T2 is useful support-type characters; T3 only works well in specific situations. From what we’ve tested so far, characters like Misa and Luluka that have tuning, buffs, or survival abilities are more valuable long-term than pure damage dealers.

B. Current Version Meta & Environment

Right now, the meta isn’t "stuffing three 5-stars into your team"—it’s about whether your tune imprints can support each other. Elements like Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, and Nature each have their own imprint generation and consumption rhythms. If your main DPS doesn’t have teammates supplying the tune imprints they need, your actual in-game damage will drop a lot. Pairing characters with Chibos is the only way to make a complete build, by the way.

C. Must-Pick Characters for New Players

If the official launch doesn’t change much, my top recommendations are versatile 5-stars like Misa and Luluka, then pick an on-field main DPS you like—like Ruby, Abby, Shale, Franta, etc. New players’ biggest fear isn’t missing a T0 character—it’s pulling three characters in the first week that can’t supply each other’s tune imprints at all.

II. 5-Star Character Deep Dive & Recommendations

A. Ainis: Support Role Analysis

First, let’s fix the rarity: from the latest beta data, Ainis is actually a 4-star Light-type support, not a 5-star. She fits what everyone wants from a "healer" perfectly—low-health teammates get higher healing efficiency, and she’s even included in the official pre-registration milestones. So I highly recommend new players grab her as a free survival backup.

B. Moyin: Fire Team Core DPS

Moyin was listed as a 5-star Lightning-type in early beta data, not a Fire main DPS, and the latest released character info doesn’t fully cover her set. So it’s risky to call her the "Fire team meta answer" right now. We’ll re-evaluate her tier only if the official launch rebalances her skills and elements—right now, don’t plan your Fire team around Moyin.

C. Misa: Nature Team T0 Review

Misa is one of my most promising 5-stars right now. She’s a Nature-type Imbuement character that provides Nature tuning, plus healing, debuffs, and team tuning buffs. Beta players also keep praising her great crowd control. The best thing about characters like her is "one character does so much"—she’s great for early game, clearing mobs, and taking on tough challenge stages.

D. Shalle: Water Element Healer & Buffer

If "Shalle" here refers to Shale (also known as Xia’er), she is a confirmed 5-star Water-type character right now, but her core role is Eruption burst damage, not a traditional healer.

 

She's a healer who pairs perfectly with Water and Light Attunement Markings to dish out heavy Charged Attacks, plus she has Endurance and massive AoE skills, making her a great frontline main DPS for Water teams.

E. Luluca: Wind Burst Damage Dealer

Wait, let's correct this: Luluca is a 5-star Water Imbuement character, NOT a Wind Burst DPS. She provides heals, buffs, Water and Ice Attunement Markings, and gives extra buffs to teammates after they get healed, so she's more like a core support for Water teams. If you want pure Wind damage, Frant or other Wind-element characters are better picks.

III. 4-Star Characters: Cost-Effective Investment Guide

A. Ruby: Best Early-Game Pick

Ruby is actually a 5-star Fire Assault main DPS in recent closed beta data, not a 4-star. She can generate her own Fire and Thunder Attunement Markings, and her ultimate has insane scaling, making her one of the best Fire units right now

This build is clearly made for staying on the field and dealing damage—if this mechanic stays the same in the live server, she's totally a core unit for your first team

A. Mesa: AoE Clear Capabilities

"Mesa" is likely a duplicate name due to translation differences with "Misha"—the official traditional Chinese name is standardized as "Misha" now! So don't invest resources in both Mesa and Misha thinking they're separate characters. Misha's real strength lies in mob pulling, Nature Attunement, and team support—not being a traditional AoE-focused main DPS

C. Abby: Electro DoT Damage

"Abby" is actually NOT a 4-star Electro unit—she's a 5-star Water-type Rupture character! She excels at reducing enemy Toughness, breaking defenses, and Charged Attacks. When paired with Water or Nature Markings, she can quickly deplete Bosses' Break Gauges, making her a Toughness-Breaking main DPS for high-difficulty fights

D. Han Youyou: Balance of Defense and Crowd Control

"Hanyouyou" is now a 4-star Fire Amplifier character. Her main role is stacking Fire Attunement, boosting teammates' damage, and lowering enemy defense—not a traditional tank! She can generate Fire Markings for your team quickly, making her a super cost-effective support for Fire units like Ruby and Telara

E. Telara: Late-Game Potential Analysis

Telara is a really well-rounded 4-star Fire damage dealer right now. She comes with Enhanced Charged Attacks, heals, and team Energy support built-in. Her biggest advantage is that you don't need to dump all your resources into 5-stars to get a full working rotation—free-to-play players can prioritize leveling her for early game, and she'll still work as a solid sub for your Fire team even when you get a 5-star main DPS later

IV. Qipoe System: Full Training Guide

A. Qipoe Mutation Mechanism Breakdown

Qipoe aren't just regular pets! During the closed beta, they had collection mechanics like Factor Mutation, Ultra-Rare Qipoe, Shiny variants, Color Variant Qipoe, and even Shiny Color Variants. The high-difficulty "Varying Vein Star Nest" even drops special Qipoe, so when you see different Qipoe, don't just check their element—also pay attention to their Factors and special individual types

B. Rune Selection & Priority

For combat Qipoe, your first priority is whether they can provide the Attunement Markings your main DPS needs—straight attack stats are secondary! For example, if your Fire team lacks Fire Markings, pick a Qipoe that can reliably generate them; same for Water teams. If you only chase max Combat Power and break the Elemental Rotation, your actual performance in fights will be weaker

C. Work Score Boost Tips

Qipoe for the Homestead have jobs like Logging, Smithing, Watering, and Igniting. Early game, you'll need a ton of wood, so prioritize leveling Woodworker/Logging Qipoe. Once your farm is established, add Watering Qipoe, and when you get to gear crafting, focus on boosting Smithing Work Score

D. Combat Qipoe Training Path

First decide your team's main element, then train Qipoe with matching Attunement. Don't just level up every high-rarity Qipoe you get—combat and homestead Qipoe have totally different training paths. Level your top 3 team Qipoe to a strength that can reliably support your characters' rotation, then work on collecting the rest

E. Exploration Qipoe Function Picks

For exploration, keep Qipoe that can fly, glide, cross terrain, or gather things efficiently. For me, these are even more useful than extra Combat Power, because most of your time in "Starry Original: Journey Ballad" is spent moving around, catching Qipoe, gathering resources, and building your Homestead

V. Element Team Building Full Guide

A. Fire Team: Lineup & Damage Rotation

For Fire teams, you can use Ruby or Telara as your on-field main DPS, Hanyouyou for fast Fire Marking generation, plus Qipoe that can fill in Fire/Thunder gaps. Ruby can deal huge Burst Damage after using Fire and Thunder Attunement, so this whole playstyle is perfect for players who like to deal damage head-on

B. Water Team: Heal & Shield System

Water teams have the most complete character pool right now. Xia'er, Abby, and Luluca work great together. Luluca provides heals and buffs, Abby breaks enemy Toughness, and Xia'er can explode with damage as long as she meets Water/Light conditions—perfect for early game and Boss fights

 

C. Nature Team: Sustain Buff Compositions

When building a Nature team, start with Misha as the core — she can generate Nature Seals on her own, heal the whole squad, and provide Tuning Buffs to the team. Pair her with damage dealers and Chibos that consume these Nature Seals. This team might not have top-tier burst damage, but it’s super forgiving and performs really well over long fights.

D. Wind Team: Fast Clears & Mobility

Wind teams focus on combos, follow-up attacks, and fast character swaps. Characters like Frantaa are perfect for dashing through maps and clearing mobs quickly. When putting this team together, you need teammates that generate lots of Wind Seals — without enough Seals, even a Main DPS with high attack stats will struggle to deal full damage.

E. Lightning Team: Burst Damage & Control Strategies

For Lightning teams, you can build around characters like Mowen and Midi. Mowen is for staying on the field to deal Overflow Damage, while Midi acts like a functional 4-star support for Tuning and energy. Putting together a Lightning team is actually pretty easy for free players: just one Main DPS, one character that produces Lightning Seals, and a third character to handle survival or Break Toughness.

VI. Character Roles & Responsibilities Analysis

A. Top Main DPS Picks

From what we’ve seen in closed beta tests, these Main DPS characters are worth keeping an eye on: Ruby, Xia’er, Abi, and Mowen. Ruby is a fire-based burst character with smooth attack animations; Xia’er has extremely high charge attack multipliers; Abi is great at breaking enemy Toughness; and Mowen specializes in sustained Lightning Overflow Damage.

B. Top Support & Buff Characters

Misha and Luluca are the most valuable 5-star support characters right now. For 4-stars, functional options include Hanyouyou, Midi, and your main protagonist. As you progress into the late game, you’ll notice that supports that “generate Seals + give buffs” are way more important than forcing in an extra Main DPS.

C. Healer/Support: Survival & Tuning Buff Guarantee

The most common healers in the game right now are Misha, Luluca, and Ainiys. If you get Ainiys for free early on? Use her. Don’t waste pulls trying to get a 5-star healer when you first start out. Save your resources for later, when you can upgrade your healer to a 5-star that also gives Tuning Buffs.

D. Tank/Defense Character Selection Criteria

The 4-stars Kataru and Lili work best as tanks, shield guards, or parry-focused characters. Once you start fighting tough Bosses that attack nonstop, frontline characters that can both block damage and generate Tuning Seals become super valuable.

E. Crowd Control & AOE Specialized Character Picks

Misha’s ability to pull enemies together is incredibly useful for the early game. Characters with large-area Stellar Sound Skills are also great for clearing stages fast. For mob stages, you want to group all enemies up to take them down at once, instead of focusing only on single-target DPS.

VII. Early Game Character Priority for New Players

A. Early Game Resource Allocation Tips

Early on, focus on leveling just one team: 3 characters + 3 Battle Chibos. Put the most resources into your Main DPS. For supports, just level them enough to do their job. Don’t go overboard leveling every new character you get right away.

B. Must-Level 4-Star Characters for Launch Week

Ainiys, Hanyouyou, Midi, Telala, and your protagonist are all good options to level based on your team. Ainiys is a free, cost-effective healer, and Hanyouyou gives fire-based Tuning — even if you switch them out later, they’re worth the resources you put in.

C. 5-Star Character Leveling Priority

For 5-stars, follow this order: Main DPS > core support for your team > second-element Main DPS. For example, for a Water team, level Xia’er or Abi first, then add Luluca. For a Nature team, make sure Misha’s core set is complete first. Don’t try to level all 5 5-stars at once — that’s a total waste of resources.

D. Ideal Reroll Targets at Launch

If you can still effectively reroll accounts on the global server? The best start is a “5-star Main DPS + Misha or Luluca” support combo. You don’t need 2 or 3 Main DPS characters — one for damage, one for support, that’s the smoothest way to play through the early game.

E. Overlapping Characters to Avoid Leveling

There’s no character in this game you absolutely can’t level — the real mistake is leveling characters that do the same job. For example, if you already have a strong 5-star fire Main DPS, don’t rush to level two fire-based frontline characters at once. It’s way better to level characters for a second element or a survival role first.

VIII. Gacha Planning & Game Resource Management

A. Current Banner Strength Analysis

Right now, *Blue Star: Travel Ballad* hasn’t had its official global launch, so there’s no official “rate-up banner” info for the live server. All the info we have is from pre-registration events or closed beta tests. For official banner details, you’ll have to wait for the official launch announcement.

B. Limited Character Pull Advice

The most important thing about pulling limited banners isn’t how popular the character is — it’s whether they fill a gap in your account. If you already have a complete Water team

 

Don’t blindly go all in pulling for a full maxed water main DPS whenever a new one drops; roles that fill in missing elements or core support functions usually hold more value for your account.

C. Permanent Character Acquisition Strategies

During the testing phase, they had systems like a guaranteed 5★ pull and character select options, but the final live server details might still adjust. If permanent characters can be obtained through new player pools or selective pulls later, it’s even less worth wasting limited gacha resources chasing them blindly.

D. Priority for Signature Weapons & Potential Levels

I always follow this order: Base character > Key support effects > Exclusive Soul Links (or signature weapons) > High potential ranks. Unless a specific character absolutely needs a high potential to perform at their best, focusing on expanding your character pool is way more practical for free-to-play players than chasing potential upgrades.

E. Skill Upgrade Material Planning

For main DPS roles, level up core on-field skills and Star Decisive Techniques first. For supports, prioritize skills that boost tuning, healing, or buff effects. Always invest upgrade materials into abilities you’ll use every fight, not just skills with the highest base stats.

IX. High-Difficulty Dungeon & Boss Fight Team Comps

A. Recommended Teams for Main Story Chapters

For main story stages, I’d recommend water-element or nature-element teams the most—they’re super reliable. For example, pairing Xia’er with Abi plus Lulu Ke, or Misa with a main DPS and a support role, all cover damage, survival, and crowd control at the same time.

B. Clear Configurations for Event High-Difficulty Dungeons

For high-difficulty dungeons, the first things to check are the Boss’s weaknesses, toughness bar, and attack rhythm. Don’t stick to the same team just because it’s high on tier lists; when facing multi-Boss fights or high-pressure red/yellow light attacks, the value of tanks and healers goes way up.

C. Recommended Anti-Boss Counter Characters

Abi’s toughness-breaking ability is perfect for dealing with Bosses, while Xia’er deals high-damage charged attacks in safe windows. Ruby is great for burst damage. If the Boss keeps running around, I’d prioritize characters whose skills won’t miss consistently.

D. Daily Farming Fast-Clear Team Comps

The core of fast daily clears is crowd control + area-of-effect skills + short cooldowns. Characters like Misa that pull all enemies together make this super smooth; pairing her with an area-of-effect burst main DPS makes daily dungeons way faster than Boss-focused teams.

E. Build Tips for Roguelike Mode

There’s not enough reliable info yet confirming if the live server will add a permanent Roguelike mode, so skip forcing a “Roguelike T0 Tier List” for now. If the devs add this mode later, I’d prioritize a versatile character with self-healing, crowd control, low-threshold damage, and self-tuning abilities.

X. Guide for F2P & Light Spender Progression

A. Must-Build Characters for F2P Players

Ainis, Hanyoyo, Telara, Miti, and the game’s main protagonist are the most practical, low-cost picks for free-to-play and light spenders! As budget-friendly characters, their core job is simple—they just need to keep the 5★ main DPS’ element rotation running smoothly, and that’s all they need to do~

B. Resource Investment Tips for Monthly Pass Players

Monthly pass players don’t need to waste resources on every banner pulling for signature weapons. I suggest prioritizing 1-2 solid element teams first, making sure your team covers the major popular elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, and Nature. This way, you won’t be stuck with no good teams when facing different Boss types later.

C. High-Cost-Effectiveness 4-Star Alternatives

Didn’t pull a 5★ Fire support? Hanyoyo works perfectly! Missing a healer? Just build Ainis! Need Lightning tuning? Miti’s your girl! No Fire main DPS? Telara’s on-field damage is totally usable! The best part about 4-star characters is they’re super resource-efficient, saving you so many gacha pulls—they’re really worth it~

D. No-5-Star Clear Guide

The core of the closed beta playstyle is all about dodging, blocking, breaking enemy stances, and using element tuning effectively! As long as you gear up and optimize your builds well, even a full 4-star team can clear smoothly. Sometimes, skill and understanding of game mechanics matter way more than whether a character is a rare 5★ or not~

E. Long-Term Progression Plan

For F2P players, don’t be greedy with long-term progression. Prioritize building one solid, full team first, then prepare a second elemental team, and only then think about collecting niche characters. Remember: characters, Soul Links, builds, and home upgrades all cost resources. Trying to max everything at once will just leave all teams half-baked and useless, so take it one step at a time~

XI. Version Update & Character Change Analysis

A. Closed Beta Feedback from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao

After the Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao closed beta ended this June, the official team already announced they’ll address upcoming...

B. Recent Character Buff Adjustment List

There's no official full list of character Buffs for the live server yet, so don't spread unconfirmed adjustment rumors. The real thing to wait for is whether skill multipliers, Element Tuning drop methods, and character roles get reshuffled after the next test phase~

C. Meta Character Trends for This Version

Judging from the closed beta data, this version's character design is leaning towards characters that "also have Tuning functionality". Players love characters that can heal, pull mobs, provide team buffs, or apply marks at the same time. Characters that only stand there dealing damage get replaced way faster~

D. Meta Changes and Team Adjustments

Going forward, with continued patches to the Chipo System, combat pacing, and exploration feel, team strength won't just be determined by characters anymore. Whether Chipo can reliably provide Element Tuning might even directly bump a character's strength tier from T1 to T0!

E. Future Banner Prediction Tips

Don't trust those random "who's in the first launch banner" predictions right now. The official global release date and debut banner lineup are only reliable if they're from the devs! Right now, the smart move is to learn every character's mechanics, not hoard resources for unannounced banners way ahead of time~

XII. Focused Training Guides for Popular Characters

A. Team Building and Stat Recommendations for Ainess

Ainess is a low-cost, survival-focused support that pairs perfectly with any main DPS that needs consistent healing! When training her, prioritize stats on healing output and survivability, then add attributes that let her cycle skills faster. No need to force-feed her personal damage—her job is to buff the team, not be a DPS~

B. Gear and Skill Rotation for Mio

Mio doesn't have a lot of recent test data out right now. The early 5-star Lightning-type version isn't guaranteed to be the final live server state. So don't lock in her signature weapon and skill priorities yet—until the devs release official numbers, the key is just saving resources~

C. Potential and Signature Weapon Picks for Misha

Misha's strength comes from her full support toolkit, not maxing out personal damage! When training her, focus on boosting Natural Tuning, healing, mob pulling, and team buff stats. If she works well even at low potential levels, there's no need to grind for high potential just for pretty stat screens~

D. Healer vs. Support Builds for Xia'er

Xia'er is meant to be a burst main DPS—forcing a healer build on her is a waste! The core of her training should focus on charged attacks, Starbrilliance Skills, and poise effects, plus Water/Light Tuning. Leaving healing to Luluka or Ainess is way more effective~

E. Max Damage Build for Luluka

Luluka can deal damage too, but her real value is her healing, team buffs, and Hydro/Ice Tuning! To get the most out of her, don't stack all attack stats—instead, make sure that when her buffs are active, the main DPS hits their maximum burst potential~

XIII. Character Tier Comparison and Selection Guide

A. Side-by-Side Comparisons for Same Role Characters

For main DPS, we judge them on burst damage and skill rotation speed. For supports, it's how packed their utility is. For example, both Misha and Luluka are 5-star Imbuement characters, but Misha leans into Natural-type mob pulling and Tuning buffs, while Luluka excels at Hydro/Ice healing and critical damage buffs—you can't just compare them on healing output alone~

B. 5-Star Starter Pull Recommendations

The best 5-star to pull on your first wish is one that works as a direct main DPS or a super versatile support. If you get an DPS character like Ruby, Xia'er, or Abby, build a team around them. If you get Misha or Luluka, they're 100% worth investing in too~

C. Priority Training When Resources Are Limited

When resources are tight, just ask yourself three questions: Who's handling damage right now? Who's generating Element Tuning? Who's keeping the team alive? Once those three roles are covered, then invest in a second team for maximum resource efficiency.

D. Character Replacements Guide

If you can't pull a 5-star, prioritize 4-stars that fill the same role—don't fixate on element types. For example, if your team is missing a Fire Mark role, use Hanyouyou; if you need a healer, pick Ainess; if you need a frontline tank, use Katal. These functional replacements are way more useful~

E. Clear Goals and Training Thresholds

The real "endgame" for a character is simple: consistently do their job well. For main DPS, that means pulling off a full rotation. For supports, that means keeping their skills up. For healers, that means not getting oneshot. These practical standards matter way more than chasing perfect stats~

A. Strong Team Comps for Roguelike Modes

 

Right now, the official permanent roguelike game mode isn’t fully finalized yet. When building your team, follow these general guidelines: pick characters with built-in healing capabilities, low reliance on teammates, crowd-control abilities, and the ability to generate Tuning Marks on their own—these will work exceptionally well in the random Build environment.

B. Best Combinations for Co-op Play

During the closed beta, the Super-Wave Wave gameplay supported solo or 3-player teams, so in multiplayer matches, don’t pick three pure-damage main DPS! A proper team should balance: one to break enemy toughness, one to deal burst damage, and the remaining one to bring healing or buff skills. This way, your team has way more in-game survival flexibility.

C. Recommended for AFK Auto-Battling

This game generally requires manual combat play—it’s not your typical idle game. The mode closest to an auto-battle experience is the Wave Showdown mode. If you want to play casually without putting in much effort, prioritize characters with simple mechanics and easy-to-master charge cycles.

D. Characters with High Manual Play Potential

Characters like Xia’er and A Bi, who require timing charges, blocking, dodging, or exploiting Boss attack windows, have a high skill ceiling when played manually. Once you master their playstyle, their damage output and ability to break enemy stances will be way higher than just spamming skills as soon as they’re available.

E. Casual Player-Friendly Picks

For casual players, I’d actually recommend the Nature team or Water team. Characters like Misha and Luluka have high error tolerance, and pairing them with Waves to cover exploration needs makes the overall gameplay way less stressful than chasing nothing but burst damage.

XV. Long-Term Progression & Endgame Team Planning

A. Late-Game Character Investment Tips

In the late game, prioritize investing resources in versatile support characters plus 1 or 2 core main DPS. Main DPS will get replaced with version updates, but functional characters that can heal, generate Marks, provide team buffs, and control crowds tend to hold their value better over time.

B. Multi-Team Resource Allocation Strategy

My advice is to fully build your first team before starting to allocate resources to a second team. The second team should ideally be a completely different element from your first, so you don’t get countered hard when facing enemy resistances or level-specific mechanics.

C. Meta & Future Trends

Right now, the real “meta answer” in Blue Star: Travel Ballad isn’t a specific strong 5-star character—it’s the combo of character tuning, Wave combinations, and the cycle of switching characters. As long as this core gameplay doesn’t change drastically, functional characters will always have an important role.

D. Character Graduation Timeline

Progression for characters should follow a specific order: first, max out their level and skills. Second, get their equipment and Spirit systems sorted. Third, go for perfect substats and high-rarity Waves. Reversing this order will just waste tons of Stamina and materials!

E. Quick Catch-Up Guide for Returning Players

If you haven’t logged in for a while after the official launch, don’t rush to pull the latest characters when you come back! First, check if your previous team’s tuning links were affected by version changes. If your old team is still usable, use them to farm resources before adding new characters you actually need.

If I had to sum up the current character landscape in Blue Star: Travel Ballad, I’d say: Don’t treat 5-star characters as the absolute answer right off the bat—first, check if a character can form a complete cycle with their Tuning, Waves, and teammates.

Right now, 5-star characters like Misha and Luluka that cover healing, buffs, and elemental functions stand out for long-term account value. Characters like Ruby, Xia’er, and A Bi are better suited as core DPS slots. For 4-stars, Anais, Han Youyou, Telara, and Midi don’t just get retired once you pull a 5-star—they can fill important team gaps at a low cost.

Waves shouldn’t just be treated as collectibles! Their combat tuning, housing functions, exploration movement, and differences between different variants (like unique or super-unique ones) all affect progression direction. A really good account isn’t having all top 10 characters pulled—it’s having a team of characters and Waves with no glaring weaknesses.

Most importantly, as of September 2026, Blue Star: Travel Ballad is still in the pre-official launch phase, so character stats, gacha pools, Spirit systems, Waves, and endgame modes could still get adjusted. The key thing to remember right now isn’t “who is a permanent T0 character”—it’s understanding the elemental tuning mechanics and each character’s role. Once the official server launches, even if the Meta changes, you’ll be able to quickly tell if a new character is actually strong or just looks good.
