Activate At The Character Page
Once you have the Stella Fortuna of a character, you will need to activate this for the Constellation in their Character Page. One Stella Fortuna is needed for each Constellation.

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.
