Quick answer

Is Starku worth using?

Starku's documented burst-role kit and summon-banner acquisition context: confirm Starku is in the current banner, claim Gem codes, then pull with a spending stop because no per-unit rate is published. Starku (Primordial) is a Mythic banner unit based on Starrk from Bleach. The useful public detail is his burst role: Beebom highlights a powerful nuke that most Mythics lack, while ProGameGuides places him in A and Beebom in S+. Exact damage, cooldown, range, and per-unit summon odds are not published, so use him as an early burst pick rather than treating either letter as permanent.

How to get

How to get Starku

Use the banner route, and do not plan around a made-up per-unit chance.

Step 1
Save gems before opening the summon banner. The working-codes page lists the largest confirmed free gem rewards first.
Step 2
Pull on the banner that includes Starku. No official per-unit chance is available, so do not calculate a guaranteed gem budget from an invented rate.
Step 3
Once pulled, compare Starku with your current boss unit before committing scarce rerolls or evolution materials.

Kit and role

How Starku fits a team

What the nuke role means

The current write-up describes Starku as a Mythic with a strong nuke. That makes him most relevant when a stage asks for a large burst window rather than only steady wave clearing.

The material available on launch day does not publish the nuke multiplier or cooldown. Those values stay unknown here instead of being filled with estimates.

Why the rankings differ

ProGameGuides places Starku in A, while Beebom places him in S+. Both are favorable, but the gap shows that the launch meta was still moving one day after release.

Read those letters as two editorial opinions. The shared takeaway is narrower and more useful: Starku is a high-end Mythic for burst, but the three Secret units remain the stronger agreement picks overall.

Spend decision

When to invest in Starku

Invest when your account lacks a reliable boss burst unit and Starku is already in your roster. If you own Madaro or Valcrad, compare their documented boss tools on the tier list before spending Perfect Stat Prisms.

For traits, prefer a choice that supports damage or cooldown only after checking the current trait effects. Do not chase Immortal solely because Starku ranks highly: Immortal is rare, one-per-team, and has a long community-reported pity cap.
