Mirren: Star Legends — The 2026 Player’s “No-Regrets” Guide for Teams, Rerolls, Tier Picks, and Daily Progress

Mirren: Star Legends is one of those turn-based gachas that looks simple for the first hour—press skills, watch animations, collect waifus—and then suddenly you’re three days in asking yourself why your “strong” team can’t clear a tower floor, why your DPS feels like it’s hitting pillows, and why everyone in PvP seems to take three turns before you get one. If that sounds familiar, good news: the game is less about raw stats than it is about break windows, energy flow, skill stacking, and elemental matchups—and once you understand those four things, your account starts snowballing instead of stalling.

I. Mirren: Star Legends Overview

A. Turn-based RPG with Novas and Asters across 120,000 years of lore

At a high level, Mirren plays like a party-based turn RPG where Novas are your leaders (the core “face” of your squad) and Asters are your summoned allies (the units you’re mostly building your combat plan around). The game’s marketing leans into the “epic timeline” angle—120,000 years of lore and a big cast with 43 playable characters available at launch, which is a lot for day-one team building.

In practice, that giant roster means the game rewards players who build a small, synergistic core early, instead of spreading resources across whatever they pulled last. You can absolutely play favorites, but if you want smooth progression, your early goal is: get one reliable breaker/control unit, one or two real DPS, and one energy/support engine. (We’ll get into that exact setup in the beginner team section.)

B. Elemental counters, skill stacking, and team synergies for PvE/PvP

Mirren is not “just stats.” The engine is basically:

• Element counters (so you’re not brute-forcing the wrong matchups)

• Break windows (turning control into damage)

• Skill stacking into Ultimates (timing matters)

• Team synergies (energy generation + sustain + burst alignment)

PvE tends to reward consistency (survive + break + burst), while PvP punishes sloppy turn order and bad elemental drafting.

C. Crunchyroll-published gacha with 43+ launch characters

Crunchyroll’s announcement and store descriptions emphasize the global publish and the large roster at launch.  Also worth noting: Crunchyroll accounts can provide certain “benefit” rewards depending on how you log in/link.

Player translation: if you’re min-maxing and you have a Crunchyroll account anyway, it’s worth linking early so you don’t forget later.

II. Active Codes & Rewards (February 2026)

Let’s be real: code status changes constantly in gachas. Some codes are time-limited, some are redemption-limit capped, and some are region/launch-window only. So instead of pretending everything is guaranteed active, here’s what multiple non–Mainland China sources are reporting around the Feb 2026 window, plus what you should do if a code doesn’t work.

A. 1STASKRITSU – Mana Crystals + Aster Pages

This code is the one that keeps showing up historically, but sources disagree on whether it’s still active:

• Several code trackers list no active codes and mark 1STASKRITSU as expired.

• Another more recent Feb 2026-dated guide claims 1STASKRITSU is active (at least at the time they published).

Player move: Try it once. If it fails, assume it’s expired or capped and move on—don’t burn an hour chasing ghosts.

B. ReleaseRewards – Free Summons

C. CrunchyrollMSL – Gems + Tickets

I couldn’t find reliable, non–Mainland China documentation for ReleaseRewards or CrunchyrollMSL as publicly posted redeem codes in the sources I checked. What is confirmed from Crunchyroll support is that Crunchyroll account linking can grant exclusive rewards/benefits, but that’s handled as an account benefit—not necessarily a typed promo code.

So here’s the safe, player-accurate takeaway:

• If you see those codes in your community chat, try them.

• If they don’t work, don’t treat it like you messed up—treat it like the code never existed publicly, was limited, or already expired.

D. Check Settings > Other > Exchange (Redemption)

Redeeming codes is straightforward and confirmed in Crunchyroll’s official help docs:

1. Open Settings (top-right on the home screen)

2. Go to Other

3. Tap Redemption Code

4. Enter the code and hit Exchange

5. Claim rewards from Mail

If you’re new, do this early—because even when codes are small, early resources compound into smoother clears.

III. Beginner Team Building

A. Core starter: Ritsu (Break/Control), Caroline (DPS), Kuroro (Energy/Support)

If you want the cleanest beginner core (especially for story + early tower), the logic is simple:

• Ritsu = Break/Control
  Your breaker/control unit is what turns “I’m surviving” into “I’m winning.” Break effects create windows where your DPS actually matters.

• Caroline = DPS
  You want a DPS who does reliable damage without requiring a perfect setup every single fight. Early on, consistency is king.

• Kuroro = Energy/Support
  Energy support is what makes your team feel like it’s playing the game while the enemy team is stuck waiting their turn.

The vibe you want is: control the fight → generate turns/energy → burst when the enemy can’t respond.

B. Elemental balance: Fire > Wood > Water > Fire

Elemental loops are a classic “you can brute force early, but you’ll hit a wall later” system. Early game advice:

• Build one “main team” that can handle most story content

• Then start raising at least one alternate DPS in a different element so you’re not hard-stuck when the game throws an element wall at you

C. 1 Break + 1–2 DPS + 1 Energy ideal

This composition rule is honestly the best beginner guardrail:

• 1 Breaker/Controller (creates damage windows)

• 1–2 DPS (converts windows into kills)

• 1 Energy/Support (keeps your team online)

• last slot = flex (sustain, second breaker for certain content, or utility)

If you ignore the energy/support slot, you’ll feel like your team is “slow” and you’ll start blaming gear when the real issue is tempo.

IV. Tier List: SS/S-Tier Asters

Tier lists in turn-based gachas always come with one catch: investment matters. A fully built “A-tier” can outperform a half-built “SS-tier.” That said, some units are simply more universal and more account-defining.

A. Yetannia (DPS): Top burn/AoE damage

In most community tier discussions, the units that rise to the top tend to do two things:

1. carry PvE waves efficiently (AoE + consistency), and

2. stay relevant in bosses due to scaling mechanics.

Yetannia falls into that “build-around DPS” identity in multiple tier list discussions.

B. Kelsuna (Support): Premier healer

Healers don’t feel exciting until you hit content where you can’t out-damage the problem. Kelsuna is commonly framed as a top survival/support pick—especially for difficult stages and consistency.

C. Homura (Divinitas): Attack buffs, energy restore

Buff + energy restore support profiles are evergreen in turn-based games because they scale with every DPS you ever build. Even if you swap carries later, a strong buffer stays relevant.

D. Sinko: Burn specialist

Burn specialists rise when:

• content has bulky enemies that punish slow fights, or

• you’re building a burn comp around a top AoE DPS

The burn archetype is also one of the easiest “advanced comps” to pilot because the win condition is simple: stack burn, keep team alive, let enemies melt.

V. A-Tier Strong Asters

A-tier units are usually your “glue.” They make your team stable, fix a weakness, or enable a strategy.

A. Rei Rei: Energy restore, sustain

Energy restore units feel like cheating when you’re new because they let you rotate skills faster and reach ult triggers more consistently.

B. Churchill: Debuff application

Debuffers are how you punch above your gear level. If you’re undergeared, debuffs effectively “buy” you damage by making enemies weaker or more vulnerable.

C. Aika: Def shields

Shields are especially helpful in content where you need to survive burst turns or predictably big enemy ult windows.

D. Anna: Attack debuff DPS

Attack debuff DPS units are underrated because they do two jobs at once: contribute damage while reducing incoming pressure. That’s huge for tower/survival stages.

VI. Summoning & Reroll Guide

A. 10x pulls first for SSR guarantee

Many gachas use newcomer guarantees to help you start strong. Players have discussed guaranteed high-rarity outcomes on early newcomer pulls, which changes how painful rerolling needs to be.

B. Reroll tutorial banner for Yetannia/Kelsuna

If you’re rerolling, rerolling for a carry DPS (Yetannia) or a premium sustain unit (Kelsuna) is the most efficient “future-proof” start. DPS speeds your story clears; healer increases your ceiling in hard content. Pick based on your personality:

• If you want faster progression: prioritize DPS

• If you hate failing runs: prioritize healer

C. Save for limited banners

This is where F2P accounts either become efficient… or become broke. Limited banners are where the highest account-impact units often appear, so the best habit is:

• spend early pulls to build a functional core

• save the rest for banners that actually change your account

D. Dupes for limit breaks

Dupes matter because they usually translate into:

• higher stat ceilings

• extra passive scaling

• improved skill breakpoints

But don’t chase dupes early unless your account is already stable. One strong unit is better than two half-built ones.

VII. Nova Progression

A. Britu/Kuroro/Tuuku starters

Your starter Novas are your early “team identity.” The best approach is:

• pick the Nova that fits your planned core team

• invest enough to unlock key mechanics

• avoid over-investing in every Nova early

B. Unlock Angie/Mia via story

Story progression in Mirren isn’t just narrative—it’s also account unlock flow. Pushing story tends to unlock systems and additional characters, which makes your roster more flexible.

C. Awakening (A0–A5): Stat boosts

Awakening tiers are the long-term growth lane. If you’re F2P, treat awakening as a “slow climb” system you support with consistent daily routine rather than a thing you brute force.

D. Skill stacks → Ultimate triggers

This mechanic is what separates players who “press skills” from players who plan turns:

• If you understand how stacks build

• you can line up ult triggers exactly when the enemy is broken/stunned

• and your damage output effectively doubles during those windows

VIII. Aster Equipment & Runes

Here’s the “don’t overthink it” gear logic (based on your table), plus how I’d apply it as a player.

How to actually gear early:

• Your main DPS gets the best Weapon first (ATK/Crit).

• Your breaker/support gets Speed/Energy if it helps them act earlier and keep tempo.

• Your healer gets survivability first, because a dead healer is a useless healer.

Gear is not about making everyone “pretty.” Gear is about making your win condition consistent.

IX. Combat Mechanics

A. Turn order: Speed stat determines

If you’ve ever felt like “the enemy takes 4 turns before I do anything,” it’s usually Speed. Speed is a hidden power stat because:

• it determines whether you break first

• whether you heal first

• whether you get your ult chain online before the enemy bursts you

B. Break: Stun/shield strip for DPS windows

Break is the core PvE mechanic. Your breaker exists to create a predictable moment where:

• the enemy can’t respond well

• and your DPS can unload without trading

C. Ultimates: stack 3 same skills

The “stacking into ultimate” system rewards planning:

• If you mindlessly alternate skills, you delay your ult.

• If you intentionally stack, you can ult exactly on break windows.

D. Counters: exploit enemy elements

Element advantage isn’t always mandatory early, but it becomes important when:

• enemies are tankier

• fights last longer

• and your sustain is being tested

If you’re stuck, the easiest fix is often not “more levels,” but “swap to a better element matchup.”

X. Resource Farming Daily Routine

A. Login rewards / mana crystals

Do the boring login stuff. In gachas, passive income is real income.

B. Quests/events for pages

Pages (and equivalent upgrade materials) are where your account growth comes from. Prioritize event shops that give:

• summon resources

• key upgrade mats

• high-value gear materials

C. Tower/arena for gear

Tower rewards often scale with your progress. Even if you can’t push far, do your attempts daily—tower is one of the best “slow drip” progression ladders.

D. Alliance donations

Donations are the easiest “free value” system in the game. If you’re not donating daily, you’re missing out on long-term compounding rewards.

XI. Story & Mode Progression

A. Main chapters: Nova story unlocks

Story isn’t optional if you care about account growth. It’s typically the mode that unlocks:

• new systems

• more characters

• better farming stages

B. Tower: Aster farming

Tower is where you learn whether your team is actually well-built or just overleveled. If your team collapses in tower, it usually means:

• you’re missing sustain

• your breaker is inconsistent

• your speed tuning is off

• or your DPS can’t convert break windows into kills

C. Arena PvP: rank rewards

Arena rewards are a steady income lane. Even if you’re not a PvP tryhard, doing the minimum daily fights is usually worth it.

D. Bosses: single-target focus

Boss fights expose bad builds fast. AoE DPS can carry story, but bosses demand:

• strong single-target damage

• proper break timing

• and survival through burst turns

XII. Alliance & Social Features

A. Join an active alliance for buffs

Active alliances matter. You want:

• consistent donations

• event participation

• active chat (because tips and coordination help)

B. Donate daily for jewels

Treat donations like brushing your teeth: not exciting, but you feel the difference when you stop.

C. Guild events/raids

Guild content is often where you get higher-value mats, gear, and progression resources.

D. Chat/recruitment

Don’t be shy about switching alliances early. Early alliance choice can dramatically change your resource flow.

XIII. F2P Optimization

A. Reroll strong core

If you’re F2P and willing to reroll, it’s the single biggest “time value” move you can make. A strong start reduces wasted resources and failed runs.

B. Free selectors: Kelsuna priority

If you get any kind of selector, prioritizing a premier healer/support is usually the “account safety” choice. Hard content cares about survival more than style.

C. Skip niche banners

Niche units are fun, but they’re how F2P accounts go broke. If a unit only shines in one narrow comp and you don’t already have that comp, skip.

D. Events > shop spends

Event value usually beats random shop spending. Spend where the return is highest.

XIV. Common Pitfalls

A. Ignoring energy supports

This is the biggest silent killer of early accounts. Without energy support, your team feels slow, ults come late, and fights drag until you lose.

B. Poor elemental teams

If you’re forcing a bad element matchup, you’re volunteering to do less damage and take more pain.

C. Rushing without dupes

Don’t panic about dupes early. Build a stable core first. Chase limit breaks later when your account is already clearing content reliably.

D. Missing code rewards

Even if codes are inconsistent, always check redemption once in a while—especially after maintenance, anniversaries, or big events. Redemption steps are confirmed in official support docs.

XV. Events & Banners Schedule

A. Monthly limited Asters

Most gachas run monthly cycles. Plan your pulls around those cycles instead of spending immediately when you feel bored.

B. Anniversary summons

Anniversary periods are usually the best value windows for summons, even for light spenders.

C. Login milestones

Login milestones are free progression. Don’t overcomplicate it.

D. Collab potential (Crunchyroll)

Because Crunchyroll publishes the game and has anime ecosystem ties, collab potential is always a possibility. Don’t hoard forever out of fear, but keep some savings for surprises.

XVI. Advanced Team Comps

These aren’t “the only comps,” but they’re clean archetypes that help you understand synergy.

A. Burn: Sinko + Yetannia + Homura

Win condition: Stack burn + amplify damage + keep tempo high so enemies melt before they stabilize.
This comp feels great in PvE waves and sustained fights because burn keeps working even when you’re not actively attacking.

B. Sustain: Kelsuna + Rei Rei + Aika

Win condition: Outlast enemy burst turns and slowly win through consistency.
This comp is especially good for tower/survival stages where “not dying” is the main challenge.

C. Debuff: Churchill + Anna + Ritsu

Win condition: Control + weaken + burst on break windows.
Debuff comps are how you beat content that’s “too strong” on paper because you’re lowering enemy output while increasing your effective damage.

XVII. Equipment & Rune Priority

A. Crit/ATK > Speed/Energy (with role exceptions)

For DPS, damage stats first. For breaker/support, speed/energy can be more important if it changes turn order and makes your break/ult timing consistent.

B. Set bonuses for classes

If sets exist that align with roles (DPS vs support vs breaker), prioritize completing sets on your core team before you start min-maxing perfect substats.

C. Upgrade via tower drops

Tower often becomes your gear acceleration lane. Push when you can, farm when you must.

XVIII. FAQ & Next Steps

A. Code redemption: Settings cogwheel

Confirmed steps: Settings → Other → Redemption Code → Exchange, then claim from Mail.

B. Reroll time: 10–20 mins

Reroll time varies depending on tutorial length and how quickly you can reach the first guaranteed pulls, but most players treat it as a short loop—fast enough to be worth it if you’re serious about a strong start.

C. Endgame: PvP arena focus

Endgame usually becomes a mix of:

• optimizing turn order (Speed tuning)

• building multiple elemental answers

• and improving gear/awakening ceilings for consistent PvP performance

Mirren: Star Legends is the kind of gacha where the “secret” isn’t secret at all: your success comes from team structure and tempo. If your team has (1) a breaker/control core, (2) real DPS who can convert windows, and (3) energy/sustain so you’re not playing in slow motion, you’ll clear story faster, push tower higher, and stop feeling like PvP is random.
