Season 4 of Gunfire Reborn, titled Star Link, introduces a layered progression system that builds on the Spiritual Link mechanic from previous updates. With new modifiers, scroll management tools, and a fresh weapon, this guide walks you through everything you need to know to succeed in Nightmare and Reincarnation difficulty runs.
Whether you’re a returning player or diving into the seasonal content for the first time, this walkthrough will help you make the most of your scrolls, blessings, and builds.
What Is Star Link?
Star Link is a seasonal mode that replaces Spiritual Link with a more customizable system. It introduces:
- Link Templates: Choose a preset build path before your run (e.g. weapon damage, skill damage, movement speed)
- Star Envoys: NPCs that let you convert scrolls into Link Progression
- Blank Scrolls: A new currency used to activate or upgrade Links
- Spiritual Blessings: Season-exclusive perks that enhance your build
You’ll start each run with two modifiers active: Star Link and Interdependent Fortunes. The latter changes how scrolls drop, they now appear from enemies instead of being granted instantly.
How to Start a Star Link Run
- Select Star Link mode from the Season menu
- Choose a Link Template that fits your playstyle
- Begin your run with scroll drops and Link progression enabled
Each template includes a core Link and a curated pool of synergistic Links. You’ll build around these as you progress.
Using Star Envoys and Blank Scrolls
Star Envoys appear at the start of your run and after each boss fight. They allow you to:
- Convert unused scrolls into Link Progression
- Synthesize Blank Scrolls to unlock or level up Links
- Reroll Links if your build isn’t coming together
Pro Tip: Rare or purple-tier scrolls grant more Link XP when converted, stash them if they don’t fit your build instead of activating them.
Temporary Backpack System
New this season is the ability to store up to three scrolls in a temporary backpack. This lets you:
- Avoid activating cursed or synergy-breaking scrolls
- Save scrolls for synthesis or rerolling
- Manage your build more strategically
This is especially useful for scrolls like Paranormality, which can disrupt your health pool if activated too early.
Boss Trials and Spiritual Blessings
Each boss now drops a Blank Scroll upon defeat. These are used to:
- Activate new Links
- Upgrade existing Links
- Unlock powerful Spiritual Blessings
Some of the best blessings include:
- Super Link: Boosts elemental damage scaling with each scroll
- Prepare Ahead: Starts you with 3 boosted Links and extra synthesis options
- More is Better: Grants 3 Blank Scrolls instantly and buffs all stats
You can only unlock these blessings after reaching certain seasonal talent levels.
New Weapon: Clawspray
Clawspray is a rapid-fire SMG introduced in Season 4. It excels in elemental builds and pairs well with Links like Thunderstorm or Corrosive Thorns. You’ll find it in the weapon pool during Star Link runs.
Best General Links to Watch For
| Link Name | Effect | Scrolls Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Wicked Power | +60% weapon and skill damage | 3 |
| Speedrunner | Immune to slow effects, +1% damage per 1% movement speed | 3 |
| Ethereal Feline | No hit can deal more than 25% of max HP | 3 |
| Mystic Shield | +1/7 max HP for each scroll or ascension | 2 |
| Super Link | +5% elemental damage per scroll, +30% per extra activation condition | Blessing |
Strategy Tips for Star Link Runs
- Use the backpack to manage cursed or synergy-breaking scrolls
- Prioritize scrolls that align with your Link template
- Convert rare scrolls at Star Envoys for faster progression
- Reroll Links if your build feels off-track
- Stack Blank Scrolls early to unlock blessings faster
- Use Owls in stages to reroll scrolls or chase specific Links
Final Checklist
- Selected a Link Template before starting
- Used the backpack to manage scrolls
- Converted scrolls at Star Envoys
- Activated at least one Spiritual Blessing
- Tried the new Clawspray weapon
- Completed Boss Trials for Blank Scrolls

Season 4’s Star Link system rewards planning, synergy, and scroll management. With the right template, smart use of the backpack, and a few lucky rolls, you can turn even cursed runs into high-damage, high-survivability builds.
