Starflow Concept

Your ability to harness starlight and cosmic power to your advantage.

Description

Starflow grants the user the ability to summon and control star and space magic. Starflow offers high versatility with good combo potential and useful support abilities.

Starflow has two main status effects:

• Starlight: Reduces the target’s Ether and Tempo gain. The target is given a purple outline, which can be seen through invisibility like Ghost or vision-obscuring effects like Shade Wisp. Removed after a set time.
  • Elemental Intensity increases the intensity of the reduction & outline brightness/thickness.

• Gravity: Increases the gravity of affected targets by a large amount. Victims cannot jump or ragdoll cancel while inflicted. Removed after a set amount of time.

Obtainment & Training

Go to The Lordsgrove and find Ameris, a Chrysid who requests Stardust from across Lumen. Visit all three Starfields (Tundra, Grove and Veldt) and collect at least one Stardust from each. Return to Ameris with 10 Stardust, and in return for it, you will receive an Astral Potion. Drink it to obtain Starflow.

• At Starflow level 1, players will receive the Starflower Talent. This allows players to use 0-star Starflow mantras.
• At Starflow level 20, players will receive the Adept Starflower Talent. This allows players to use 1-star Starflow mantras.
• At Starflow level 30, players will receive the Expert Starflower Talent. This allows players to unlock 2-star Starflow mantras.
• Finally, at Starflow level 50, players will receive the Master Starflower Talent. This finally allows Starflow users to unlock the last category, 3-star Mantras.

Combat Mantras

Name	Card Description	Effect
Star Blade (☆☆☆)	Chaining slashes of cosmic energy.	User spins forwards with their weapon covered in starlight and slashes once. On successful hit, attack is repeated at no extra ether cost. Low damage, low posture damage. Both increase each successive hit. "Flourishes" after 3 successive hits, applying Starlight. Blast Spark to remove chaining and trigger an explosion on first hit. Cancels on miss or parry.
Cosmic Dust (☆☆☆)	Draw cosmic energy and create an explosion.	User summons cosmic energy around themselves before creating a blast, similarly to Flame Repulsion. Low damage, can multi-hit. Inflicts Starlight. Knocks enemies back. Hyperarmor during cast.
Gravity Grab (☆☆☆)	Slam your opponent with gravity's force.	User grabs in front of themselves. If a target is caught, they are thrown down. Applies Gravity. Only works on humanoid mobs. Reversal Spark to toss them up, Spring Spark to throw them back. Decent damage, very low posture damage.
Star Forge (★☆☆)	Create daggers of the cosmos that cover you.	User creates five purple daggers around them in a star shape that launch out. Moderate damage, low posture damage. Inflicts Starlight. Daggers have slight homing. Daggers can hit if they make contact before firing. Tornado Spark: Dagger speed significantly increased, homing made significantly less tight.
Meteor Pitch (★☆☆)	Toss meteorites at your foes.	User summons multiple meteors behind them, before throwing them forwards successively. Low damage, high posture damage. Inflicts Gravity. User cannot act while throwing. Similar to Pumpkin Pitch, but automatic and faster. Round Spark: Condensed into a single giant meteor. High damage & guardbreaks, but slower and only one.
Celestial Remnant (★☆☆)	Invoke a fragment of power held by the Celestials.	User creates wings of astral energy before flapping them twice, shooting two bursts of energy forwards. First hit applies Starlight, second applies Gravity. Decent knockback. Relatively small hitbox. Moderate damage and posture damage. Wing growth similar to Starkindred. Must speak with Kaide, the Drowned Light before this Mantra can appear in hands.
Shooting Stars (★★☆)	Conjure stars to crash onto your opponents.	User raises their arm and multiple stars fall from the sky around them. Moderate damage, high posture damage. Inflicts Starlight. Similar to Shadow Meteors, but around the user, not their cursor.
Moonseye Drain (★★☆)	Call upon the eye of the stars to weaken your foe.	User creates a Moonseye out of energy that lingers in the air for a few seconds. Drains the Sanity & lowers the speed of those affected. No damage. You must look away or block. Can’t be parried or dodged. The user cannot cast other Mantras while the Moonseye is active. Blinded foes are immune. Reversal Spark: Drains the user’s sanity as well. Spring Spark: The user regains sanity when an opponent’s is drained.
Galactic Horizon (★★☆)	Create a black hole of sheer galactic energy.	User forms a black hole which glides forwards, dragging along anyone caught by it until it expires. Requires 30 Shadowcast. (hybrid mantra) Very low damage, but inflicts Starlight. All Ether lost to this mantra’s Starlight is given to the user.
Gravity Slam (★★★)	Alter your gravity to fly upwards, then slam down with high force.	User begins floating. After a short period of time, drops back down and slams the ground. Applies Gravity. Slam is an AOE. High damage. Guardbreaks, but can be parried and dodged. Can move around while floating, but can’t do any actions.
Astral Guardian (★★★)	Call an astral servant to annihilate targets.	User summons an avatar of cosmic energy to shoot a beam to a nearby target. If it connects, creates an explosion, turning the attack AOE. Decent damage, guardbreaks. No windup, but a 3-key ritual cast that changes each use. The ritual cast is the windup. If multiple targets are in range, multiple shots are fired, one at each. Multiplying Spark: Shoots 3 weaker beams in rapid succession. Magnet Spark: Avatar shoots to the cursor, no autoaim.
Star Shower (★★★)	Pour raw cosmic energy onto your foes at a Tempo cost.	User floats into the air and shoots a large beam of cosmic energy to the cursor. Extreme DPS. In addition to Ether cost, takes a portion of Tempo. Can be parried, but must be done rapidly.

Mobility Mantras

Name	Card Description	Effect
Star Kick (★☆☆)	Launch forwards with a starry kick.	User shoots forwards with a kick. Low damage, moderate posture damage. High knockback. Travels a bit further than Twister Kicks. Inflicts Gravity. Damage increased with Jus Karita.

Support Mantras

Name	Card Description	Effect
Telescope (☆☆☆)	Scan your surroundings with starlight.	Caster places their hands to the ground and creates a pulse of starlight. Inflicts Starlight’s glow & outline on all non-allies within range. Doesn’t affect Ether/Tempo. Range scales with Starflow. If you have the Blind flaw, gain clear sight in the scanned area temporarily.
Stargaze (★☆☆)	Gaze into the stars for recovery.	The user sits down and gazes into the sky. Speeds up natural regen significantly (like ½ as fast as a campfire), less-so in combat. Restores sanity relatively quickly. Stops hunger and thirst loss. Requires the sky being visible to use. Less effective at day. Allies can join by crouching next to the user. Ritual casting.
Star Wisp (★★☆)	A servant of stars.	Caster summons a wisp of cosmic energy. Chimes a soothing lullaby, granting resistance to insanity. Also applies to nearby allies. Reversal Spark to increase sanity loss rather than decrease. Also applies to nearby enemies. Flourishes & uppercuts apply Starlight for a short time. Lasts a couple minutes, or until recasted to disable. Ritual casting.

Weapon

Shattered Constellation

"A collection of daggers employed to fight the Kyrsgarde during the invasion of Constellia. Forged at the hands of a Celestial and wielded by passionate Lightborn, the set was eventually stained in their blood before falling to Lumen. The lingering spirit of the city’s heroes drew them back together, reuniting under the Moonseye, and a fragment of their power is said to linger in them to this day."
