Talent Constellation

Talent Constellation is an upgrade system similar to Battle Formation, but instead of being focused on Factions it is focused on the Unit Classes (Offensive, Defensive, Charging, Caster and Ranged).
It can be accessed from the Arsenal under the Eternal Crown functionality (to which it is vaguely connected) and its currency can be found in Abyss Den to which is stronger related.
=Overview=
Here are some aspects about talent constellation:
* They can be accessed from the Eternal Crown
* There is a total of 5 constellations, one for each unit class
* Each constellation can be upgraded separately, and features both smaller upgrades and a special constellation skill
* To upgrade constellation, one requires Gold and Sunlit Dust (obtainable via the Abyss Den)
* Upgrades are done via Stars/nodes (similar to Battle Formation), placed in a graph-like structure
** Unlike Battle Formation, a star can be lit only if all paths connecting from the the starting node to it are activated
* Each constellation has a starting node but eventually features branching out giving the player choices on what node to upgrade
* Each constellation is structured in such a manner that it eventually forces the player to upgrade the constellation skill before proceeding with more smaller upgrades
* All constellations have a starting node which is the level 1 of their respective constellation skill
* There is a total of 6 levels for each constellation skill
=Skills=
Here is a list of all the skills:
Class	Skill Name	Description
=Sub-Bonuses=
Sub-bonuses are split into three categories (all affecting friendly units of the constellation's class):
* Bonus Unit Attack or HP
* Bonus Unit Damage while fighting units of a specific class (all five classes make an appearance in each constellation)
* Bonus Unit Damage Reduction while fighting units of a specific class (all five classes make an appearance in each constellation)
=Regions=
Each constellation is split into six regions, featuring three types of nodes (stars):
* Small Star - featuring a sub-bonus that improves the Unit Attack and/or HP of the faction's units
* Large Star - featuring the bonus Unit Damage or Unit Damage Reduction while fighting either Melee or non-Melee units
* Skill Star - unlocks or upgrades the Skill associated with the Constellation
Regions contain 1 Skill Star, 5 Small Stars and 4 Large Stars. Exceptions make Region 5 that contains only 4 Small Stars and an additional Skill Star (for level 6). There is no Region 6.
Every region can be accessed by first unlocking its Skill Star. Note that not all stars inside a region must be unlocked to proceed to the next one - just enough to make a path to the next Skill Star. 
==Skill Star Requirements==
To unlock a Skill Star, one needs to additionally unlock a specific minimum number of stars before it (regardless of their type). Below you can find the exact number:
Skill Star	Minimum Lit Stars	Minimum Lit Stars	Minimum Lit Stars	Minimum Lit Stars	Minimum Lit Stars
Skill Star	Offensive 	Defensive 	Charging 	Ranged 	Caster
1 	0 	0 	0 	0 	0
2 	9 	9 	7 	0 	8
3 	17 	19 	14 	0 	16
4 	25 	27 	23 	0 	24
5 	0 	37 	32 	36 	33
6 	42 	45 	41 	43 	42
==Gold Costs==
All stars cost the same amount of gold (regardless of size) depending on the region:
Region	Cost
1 	100K
2 	200K
3 	300K
4 	400K
5 	500K
==Sunlit Dust Costs==
 Sunlit Dust cost depends on both the star type and its region:
Region	Skill Star	Large Star	Small Star
1 	400 	200 	100
2 	500 	250 	125
3 	700 	350 	175
4 	1400 	700 	350
5 	2200 	1100 	550
Note: In essence the cost of a large star is half that of a skill star, and the cost of a small star is half that of a large star (or a quarter of a skill star)
=Reset=
Players may reset their progress in a constellation for a complete refund in both Gold and Sunlit Dust, but at the expense of a fixed charge of 200.
