How to Promote Your Star Rating

Upgrading the star rating of your Espers is vital to increase their performance in Dislyte.

Star ratings function as the level caps for your characters. You can level your Espers up to a certain threshold until you need to ‘Promote’ them to further increase their levels. By increasing past these caps, you further enhance their abilities and prowess during combat.

To increase your star ratings, you will need to use Experimons or the lower-rated Espers. The only twist, however, is that you need them at the same rating as the Esper you are trying to upgrade.

The level cap on an Esper is determined by their Star Rating: 2 stars = Lvl 20 cap, 3 stars = Lvl 30, 4 stars = Lvl 40, 5 stars = Lvl, 50, and 6 stars = Lvl 60. Keeping that in mind, The higher-rated the Esper, the more experimon and espers needed to promote them. We highly recommend that you do not use other Epic or Legendary tier Espers for Star rating promotion.

These Espers are rare to find and can be very useful in some cases. So generally, only promote your main Esper to the max star rating. While only keeping a few Espers promoted to a safety cap.

Star rating promotion further branches out into Divine resonance and Ascension too. Which we also cover later in the guide. The following are the amount of required Experimon/Espers for each rating of an Esper:

Esper Star Esper/Starimon Required
3⭐ 2
4⭐ 3
5⭐ 4
6⭐ 5

How to Ascend and Upgrade Abilities

Dislyte Ascension
‘Ascending’ your characters increases their abilities overall potential and value in Dislyte

Just like Star Ratings, Ascension is a very important factor in the growth of your Espers. Upgrading one section of the circle in the Esper growth tab is what we call Ascension.

Not only does Ascension provide a boost to the stats of the characters, but at Ascension Level 3, it will add an additional permanent buff to your character.  Espers can be started ascending as early as Level 1. More ascension slots become available as you level up your character and unlock star rating thresholds.

The materials required to ascend your character are called Elemental waves. They can be acquired by defeating the Sonic Miracles bosses and through special gifted Ops Packs.

Where we have also entitled a walkthrough for each Boss fight you encounter during the Sonic Miracles Challenge.

  3. Upgrade Priority:
    • Focus on upgrading abilities of Espers you frequently use.
