The constellations above the Astral Express shimmered with renewed purpose as Trailblazers discovered that even the seventh star in a character's eidolon tapestry could now weave new destinies. Where once overflowed eidolon energy dissipated like stardust in the void, version 3.2 breathed life into these excess fragments, transforming frustration into golden opportunities that danced like fireflies in the cosmic winds.

🌟 The Alchemy of Excess: Companion Spirits

When a character reaches their sixth eidolon zenith, the universe whispers a curious secret: any additional eidolon pulls no longer vanish into the ether. Instead, they crystallize into Silver Companion Spirits - ethereal fragments humming with untapped potential. Two silvers naturally fuse into one Golden Companion Spirit, creating a celestial currency that doesn't just gather dust in one's inventory but actively beckons toward redemption.

These spirits arrive through multiple cosmic channels:

• The Overflow Path: Pulling an "E7" on any maxed 5-star character gifts one Silver Spirit

• Stellar Events: Version 3.2 graciously offered a free Golden Spirit to all Trailblazers

• Cherished Recollection: Purchasing 18,000 Oneiric Shards during the event unlocked another Golden Spirit

"It’s like the gacha gods finally decided to throw us a bone," veteran Trailblazers chuckled, watching duplicate disappointments transform into tangible hope.

🗝️ The Celestial Exchange

Within the Stellar Convergence store, Golden Spirits unlock constellations of beloved characters:

Trailblazers sighed in relief discovering this exchange bears no time constraints - a patient gardener could nurture their spirit until the perfect bloom appeared.

💫 Light Cone Memory Shards: Echoes of Power

Parallel to the spirits' dance, Light Cone Memory Shards emerged as crystalline echoes of legendary weapons. These fragments gathered through:

• Cherished Recollection: Four shards granted after obtaining 8,000 Oneiric Shards

• Battle Pass: One shard at Level 10, plus another for Nameless Medal upgraders

In the Stellar Convergence's Light Cone Redemption altar, these shards materialize into permanent weapons without expiration dates. "Finally, my failed pulls don’t just haunt my dreams," mused one Trailblazer, watching shards glow like captured starlight.

🔮 People Also Wonder...

1. "Can F2P players realistically collect these currencies?"

Absolutely! While spenders accelerate progress, patient F2P Trailblazers accumulate Silver Spirits through natural pulls and event freebies.

1. "Do older characters benefit from this system?"

Indeed - veterans like Himeko and Gepard shine brighter now, their constellations becoming achievable through dedication rather than luck.

1. "What if I want both characters AND light cones?"

The universe rewards focus. Prioritize either Character or Light Cone redemption based on your roster's whispers - neither path vanishes with time's passage.

🌌 The Constellation's Embrace

As the Astral Express barrels through 2025's star lanes, these currencies have rewoven the very fabric of acquisition. Where once the seventh eidolon echoed with emptiness, Silver Spirits now sing of redemption arcs. Where light cone pulls faded into regret, Memory Shards crystallize perseverance into power. The gacha winds still blow unpredictably, but now every excess fragment carries the warmth of potential - turning the bitter taste of duplicates into honeyed anticipation for the constellations yet to unfold.

For in Honkai Star Rail's ever-expanding cosmos, even overflow has learned to dance.
