Some characters become better with Constellations, while some don't really need to be a viable party member. It's best to research which characters at which Constellations are the best.
Character Tier ListBetter To Aim For Constellations For 4-Stars Than 5-Stars
Generally, it's better to aim for Constellations for 4-star characters that 5-star characters. Although 5-star characters are great, they require a ton of Primogems to get. This of course also boils down to preference.
Great To Have But Not Necessary
Most Constellations are great to have, but don't limit yourself thinking that you need all of them. They are great to have, but they are not entirely necessary.
