Grumpy: Nice seeing you again, Trailblazer! This time...
 Trailblazer: I already know. You want me to beat something up again. Let's go through this process. What are we testing, how are we testing it, and how much are you compensating?
Grumpy: Beat something... Huh? Huh? How do you know we wanted to have you help us test the new battle simulation tool, Stellar Shimmer?
 Trailblazer: How did I predict that... Well, to say it plainly, after testing so many weird things, I'm now impossibly powerful.
Grumpy: The last Stellar Flare test owes a lot to you! In the new version update, we've made some iterations and optimizations. Let's go over things from the beginning with you!
===New Version Test Details===
Stellar Shimmer is a set of programmed simulations meant to be used for combat training. As it is still in development, Trailblazers who participate in the test can activate these simulations on a designated terminal at Herta space station.
After the test opens, new challenge stages will be unlocked every day. This test will have a total of 8 stages.
Each challenge is set with the Dwarf Star and the Supergiant Star difficulties. Trailblazers need to complete the Dwarf Star difficulty first, then gradually progress and unlock the Supergiant Star difficulty.
Grumpy: The difficulty of the Supergiant Star challenge is significantly higher than before. Be careful.
===Stage Mechanics===
Special attention needs to be paid to how each stage has their own specific buff effects. Assemble a team using fitting characters based on stage mechanics and make your battles smoother!
Using the Vanguard Breaker stage as an example, breakng an enemy's Weakness grants an extra action, and recovering Skill Points will also let you deal higher Break DMG!
Use beneficial mechanics to make the battles easier! We trust that once you understand this, you'll be able to grasp the fundamentals of the challenge soon~
After entering battle, you can also view the Tutorial for that stages by tapping the upper right corner.
Grumpy: In this test, some companions you've encountered during your trailblazing expedition will come to assist in your testing. Trailblazers can use trial characters to paritcipate in battle.
 Trailblazer: 
===Aim for higher ratings!===
Grumpy: As for the training objectives, the security department came up with a slogan after giving out their optimization requests: "Faster, stronger, destroy them all!"
Grumpy: *sigh* Saying it out loud always makes me cringe pretty hard...
Different difficulties also have different challenge goals. Succeeding in these challenges will let you obtain their corresponding rewards.
What's worth mentioning is that, in the Supergiant Star difficulty, if you defeat 6 waves of enemies within the allotted Cycles, you'll gain the SS ranking! Above even the S ranking! And the Perfect Win rating!
 Trailblazer: Understood. Completing challenges gets me rewards. Then, what will Perfect Win get me?
Grumpy: You can earn the satisfaction of seeing the Challenge Completed menu, the achievement of defeating your foes, and the passion of igniting the hot-blood of youth...
 Trailblazer: 
Grumpy: All in all, it's up to you, Trailblazer! In terms of combat, you're much more versed than we are.
