Stellar Affinity Light Festival Archive (沐光节)

The Light Festival (Chinese community label: 沐光节) was Stellar Affinity’s first major post-launch timed event on EROLABS. Partner coverage and in-client banners described a window from 29 July 2026 open service through 12 August 2026 maintenance. As of 13 August 2026, treat the festival UI as closed unless your client still shows a residual board — always verify locally.

This page is now an archive checklist: residual mail, leftover sticks/tokens, Isuna investment rules, and how to pivot into midgame without inventing a second festival overnight.

Post-maintenance status (13 August+)

Item	Expected state	Action
Isuna limited recruit	Closed with maintenance	Keep if Core/Flex; otherwise stop chasing copies — Isuna
Star Dream Divination	Closed	Do not invent stick farms; convert leftover mats into carry upgrades
Event story chapters	May remain readable	Finish unread chapters for lore/mats if still accessible
Event shop	Closed or residual	Buy uniques first if anything remains; cosmetics last
Compensation / delayed mail	Possible after reboot	Claim before spending — see launch rewards habits

If the hub icon is gone, switch checklist ownership to current events and midgame priorities.

Stellar Affinity launch gameplay — event UI context

What the Light Festival taught (keep these habits)

Feature	Lasting lesson	Wiki pairing
Limited Isuna (伊絲娜)	Limited ≠ mandatory; role sentence first	Isuna, summon priority
Star Dream Divination	Nested event gacha needs a stop condition	Gacha & summon, summon planner
Event shop	Non-returning carry modules beat cosmetics	Progression, currencies
Bond bonus windows	Gift mains only during bonus hours	Hime Bonds, Cumpanions
Chapter 2 unlock gate	Story docks gate event hubs	Planet walkthrough, hard stages

Residual spend order (if anything still claims)

1. Non-returning upgrade modules for your main carry.
2. Any leftover sticks/tokens only if a named stop condition still exists on the summon planner.
3. Bond gifts routed through the bond checklist to mains only.
4. Duplicate shard filler — skip unless a mission forces it.
5. Cosmetics after combat checks pass.

Cross-check current events each login; overlapping residual carnival rows can hide duplicate missions.

Isuna — keep, flex, or archive

• Keep investing if she fills a written archetype in best teams and already sits on your team builds sheet.
• Flex / bond-only if you pulled her for FOMO but your story free 6★ designate is someone else — gifts optional, mats scarce.
• Archive if you skipped her — that was valid. Protect the gem floor on the F2P plan for the next limited that answers a role gap.

Full pull/skip autopsy lives on Isuna.

Star Dream Divination — closed-lane notes

Star Dream behaved like a nested banner: sticks in, random rewards out. Rates were never something the wiki invents. After closure:

• Screenshot any pity/progress UI you still have if support tickets need evidence.
• Do not confuse old sticks with login pull tickets or newbie recruit currency.
• Redirect leftover upgrade mats into artifacts & energy and divine artifacts.

Daily session after the festival (10–15 minutes)

1. Claim mail and login rows — still not Redeem unless active codes lists a string.
2. Clear residual festival tabs only if they still grant unique value.
3. Run one hard dock or story node (hard stages).
4. Gift only carry + support during bond windows.
5. Park idle harvest (offline farming).
6. Log any optional pulls in the summon planner.

The Light Festival rewarded captains who treated sticks like tickets with a job description. Keep that discipline — the next board will punish FOMO the same way.
