Stellar Affinity Serea (瑟蕾雅) Guide
Hope Hill saint — caretaking fantasy, sustain hypotheses, and honest mats after festival close.
Serea (瑟蕾雅) is the Hope Hill saint from the official four-girl dossier published 22 July 2026 (LDPlayer / PChome), a week before Stellar Affinity launched on EROLABS (29 July 2026). Partner copy says she prayed and healed a village through a long night, puts other people first, and trips over her own feet while asking if you are hurt. Mid-August 2026 captains should read that as tone — then seat her with the same ruthlessness used on Isuna.
This wiki spells her Serea (also seen as Sereya / Cerea in chats). Korean listings sit under 성간의 유대. Always match the portrait.
Official identity (pre-launch dossier)
| Field | Partner text (compressed) |
|---|---|
| Role tag | Saint / caretaker of Hope Hill |
| Public face | Gentle, snow-soft, others-first |
| Private gag | Clumsy; falls; little self-awareness |
| Bond hook | Care-first intimacy; “are you hurt?” energy |
| Combat numbers | Not in the press kit — open the client |
Sustainer fantasies are the second-most expensive mistake after craftsman fantasies. A saint sounds like a healer. If her live kit is a buffer, a bond battery, or a story-only companion, believe the kit. The roster archetypes exist so you do not buy a cathedral for a girl who never starts a dock.
After 12 August 2026: what actually changed
Nothing about Serea’s lore changed when Light Festival UI closed. What changed is your budget. Residual mail, leftover login tickets, and a still-unnamed next banner (current events) mean every new Core is a theft from the gem floor on the F2P plan. Promote Serea only if she answers a written hole in best teams.
Suggested archetype (verify in-client)
Hope Hill + healing-the-village copy suggests sustain / healer. Test it:
- Attrition walls on hard stages — does she change the death cause?
- Long planet walkthrough routes — do you stop burning revives?
- Idle blocks on combat & idle — does she matter when you are not steering?
If she only changes dating UI, she is Bond-only. If she changes a named wall and you already have a damage carry (story free 6★ or newbie recruit), she can be Flex support. Core is rare: you need both a missing sustain seat and leftover mats after the designate on story six-star.
Bonds without martyr spending
Official dates lean caretaker instinct. That is catnip for gift hoarders. Rules:
- Core/Flex only on the bond checklist.
- Spiritual Hime Bonds and physical Cumpanions both run — the saint fantasy is not a skip ticket for one track.
- Shop gifts after festival close buy carry modules first (items, currencies).
- “She would want me to take care of her” is not a progression argument.
Use gifts & dating when several spotlight girls compete for the same box of presents.
Pull and story-mat rules
| Resource | Serea rule |
|---|---|
| Newbie recruit | Lock her only as the written carry |
| Login leftovers (~200 campaign) | Bank until summon priority names a gap |
| Story free 6★ | Hers only if she is the designate |
| Festival residue | Do not “finish Serea” with panic tickets |
| CBT 200% 星鑽 | Still a floor, not a saint fund |

Twelve-minute Serea session
- Write the seat.
- Screenshot the kit next to your current wall’s death cause.
- Gift only if Core/Flex.
- Re-test one node. If the death cause is unchanged, demote her before tomorrow’s gifts.
- Park offline farming so the saint does not eat the whole evening.
Hope Hill is a story. Your gem floor is a plan. Keep them in that order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is Serea the healer?
Press copy sounds like it. Confirm the live kit, then score her on [hard stages](/guides/hard-stages/) before you spend mats.
Serea vs Isuna — who to raise in August?
Raise the girl who already has a written seat. Isuna’s limited lane is closed; Serea is not automatically the replacement.
Do I skip Cumpanions because she is a saint?
No. Both tracks feed ship energy. See [Cumpanions](/guides/cumpanions/) and [gifts & dating](/guides/gifts-dating/).
Should story 6★ mats go to Serea?
Only if she is the designate on [story six-star](/guides/story-six-star/).
Where is the name list for the other spotlight girls?
[Delia](/characters/delia/), [Aubi](/characters/aubi/), [Isuna](/characters/isuna/), plus the [roster](/characters/roster/).
