**Bestar** is an SSR ranger who plays as DPS. Fully upgraded, she reaches 685,793 Might, rank 10 of 16 among the game's DPS heroes. Unlocking her takes 10 shards (:item-shard-bestar: [[hero-shards|Bestar Shard]]), and the shards become available once the :building-ranger-statue: [[building-ranger-statue|Ranger Statue]] reaches level 20.

## Why she matters
**Role:** A ranger DPS who wins out in long fights, because both of her offensive skills apply bleeding to the target. The passive :skill-bestar-4: Bloodstain Tracker adds 45% damage against enemies already bleeding, so her damage builds as the fight goes on. Her one-off numbers are modest, the largest being :skill-bestar-2: Sacred Flame Kitty at 1,976.04% across an area.
**Worth investing:** Bestar ranks tenth of sixteen DPS heroes by maximum Might (685,793) and sits in tier B. She is worth levelling after the leading DPS heroes, and she is most useful in a ranger squad during drawn-out fights against monsters.

## Progression
### Hero levels
The hero has 150 levels, and reaching the last one costs :res-antidote: Antitoxin 5,248,471,500. The table shows the stats at reference levels:
| Level | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,425 | 24 | 15 |
| 50 | 49,666 | 858 | 540 |
| 100 | 292,233 | 5,064 | 3,184 |
| 150 | 695,765 | 12,053 | 7,579 |
### Stars
Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards (:item-shard-bestar: [[hero-shards|Bestar Shard]]). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:
| Stars | HP | ATK | DEF | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 24,091 | 415 | 261 | 3 |
| 25 | 71,190 | 1,231 | 774 | 8 |
| 40 | 138,529 | 2,402 | 1,510 | 35 |
| 50 | 198,756 | 3,441 | 2,164 | 60 |
### Skill levels
Every skill goes up to level 40 with :item-skill-badge: [[skill-badges|Skill Badge]]: one skill costs 436,700 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:
| Skill level | Stars | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 20 | 300 |
| 10 | 30 | 1,200 |
| 20 | 40 | 6,900 |
| 30 | 50 | 18,400 |
| 40 | 50 | 33,400 |
## Might at full progression
Gains from each progression system on its own. They show where to invest first:
| System | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero levels | 695,765 | 12,053 | 7,579 |
| Stars | 198,756 | 3,441 | 2,164 |
| **Total** | **894,522** | **15,494** | **9,744** |
## How to play
Bestar reaches 685,793 Might, just 80 behind Ash and 722 behind Kesso. Stats are not what separates them: Ash's ultimate lands 2,798.4% while Sacred Flame Kitty manages 1,976.04%. In exchange, both of Bestar's attacks apply bleeding and Bloodstain Tracker adds 45% damage against bleeding enemies, whereas Ash's passive skill gives 33% and works against monsters only.
SSR rarity spares Bestar the server age condition, so she is available from day one, while Cynthia arrives on server day 7 and Red Lady on day 35. Shards come from recruiting, where a hero shard drops in roughly a quarter of summons and UR heroes account for 2.8% of those.
SSR heroes have no awakening and no Exclusive Weapon, so Bestar's ceiling comes from levels and stars alone: 894,522 HP and 15,494 ATK. Stars contribute 198,756 and 3,441 of that, and they also drive her passive skill, whose 45% arrives in steps at the twentieth, forty-fifth and fiftieth star.
Among budget squads Bestar stands in the ranger five with Griffith, Hastar, Ash and Louis: 16.8M survivability, 1.2M damage per second and 5 effectiveness with a +15% bonus. The bleeding from her skills and Ash's ranger buff stack together.
