How Stella Sora Banners Work
Stella Sora runs two parallel recruitment systems: Trekker Recruitment for characters and Runic Disc Recruitment for equipment-style discs. Each banner has its own featured lineup, guarantee rules, limited currency, and expiration dates. Because these rules are set per banner, players should read the official notice for every new recruitment before spending.
Stella Sora launched globally on October 19, 2025, and the game is currently in version 2.0, which means the banner cadence has already gone through several rotations. Upcoming banners are announced through the official news page and official social channels.

Banner Types Compared
| Banner Type | What It Offers | Resource Used | Key Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trekker Recruitment | Featured Trekker characters | Trekker recruitment currency | Pity may not carry to next banner |
| Runic Disc Recruitment | Featured Runic Discs | Disc recruitment currency | Separate pity from Trekker banners |
| Standard Recruitment | Permanent pool | Standard currency | No rate-up for limited units |
| Limited Event Recruitment | Version-limited Trekkers or Discs | Limited tickets or banner currency | Tickets expire after the banner ends |
Trekker banners and Runic Disc banners handle guarantee progress and exchange currency separately. A banner notice that allows carryover for one type does not automatically apply to the other. Always read the specific recruitment notice.
Trekker Banners
- Rate-up characters
- Character pity and exchange rules
- Highest-value pulls for team building
Runic Disc Banners
- Rate-up discs
- Reinforce a Trekker's core combat pattern
- Separate pity track from characters
Limited Resources
- Expiring tickets
- Banner-specific exchange currency
- Spend before the stated deadline
How to Prepare for Upcoming Banners
Preparation matters more than luck in Stella Sora. Since teams are built around three active Trekkers, a single well-chosen banner pull can define your progression for an entire version.
Stockpile recruitment currency
Hold premium currency and recruitment tickets until the official announcement confirms the featured Trekker or Runic Disc. Version 2.0-era banners have rotated quickly since launch, so patience pays off.
Identify your team gap
Check whether your roster needs a primary damage dealer, a support, or a frontline before pulling. A balanced three-Trekker team outperforms a stacked roster of duplicate roles.
Read the banner notice in full
Confirm the start and end times, guarantee count, featured rate-up rules, and whether pity and exchange currency carry over to the next banner of the same type.
Spend limited resources first
Use expiring tickets and banner-specific currency before standard currency. Limited resources that lapse after the banner ends cannot be recovered.
Stop at a functional core
Once you have a reliable carry plus one complementary role, stop pulling and save for the next version's recruitment.
Judge upcoming banners by role coverage, not rarity. A new Trekker that fills your missing damage, sustain, or control slot is worth more than a second high-rarity unit in a role you already cover.
Pity and Carryover Rules
| Mechanic | Typical Behavior | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Guarantee (pity) count | Reaches a featured unit after a set number of pulls | Whether progress resets or carries to the next banner |
| Exchange currency | Earned per pull, tradable for featured units | Expiration date and eligible exchange shop items |
| Rate-up rules | Featured units have increased rates | Whether rate-up applies to both featured and standard pool |
| Limited tickets | Usable only on the linked banner | Deadline shown in-game and in the notice |
Limited recruitment tickets and banner-specific exchange currency often expire when the banner ends. Check the countdown inside the recruitment screen before the final day, since maintenance can cut effective pull time short.
Banner Readiness Checklist
Before any announced banner goes live, run through this checklist so nothing is wasted.
Before the Next Banner Opens:
- Confirm banner start and end times from the official notice
- Check whether pity and exchange currency carry over
- Spend all expiring limited tickets from previous banners
- Decide your target Trekker or Runic Disc based on team gaps
- Set a pull budget and stop condition before recruiting
| Resource | Best Use | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Premium currency | Saving for a rate-up Trekker banner | Converting into ordinary upgrade materials early |
| Limited tickets | Spending on the linked banner before expiry | Letting them lapse unspent |
| Standard pulls | Filling missing roles in your roster | Chasing duplicates before role coverage |
| Exchange currency | Redeeming the featured unit near pity | Redeeming early without a plan |
