Essential guide to use the Saint Seiya Awakening Cosmos
The Cosmo mechanic is one of the most interesting and complex things in the Saint Seiya Awakening. With this tool, you will be able to customize your knights in very specific ways. In this way, the players end up with completely different characters, even if they are the same character.
To get the most out of this mechanic, we tell you all the basics you need to know about Saint Seiya Awakening's Cosmos!
what are cosmos
The Cosmos in Saint Seiya Awakening work like the rune system that exists in various RPG games. They are a kind of equipment that you can put on before combat to improve your knights in very specific ways.
There are four groups of Cosmos: Solar, Lunar, Star, and Legendary. Each group focuses more on certain attributes, both offensive and defensive. Within each of them, there are many different types of Cosmos, with randomly generated bonuses and combinations.
Mind you, the Cosmo feature is unlocked at level 21. When you reach that level, click the "Development" button on the main menu and the "Cosmo" option will become available. In it you will be able to manage which Cosmos will be equipped on your knights, combine, refine and perfect the Cosmos, etc.
Each knight has 12 slots in total to equip different Cosmos. This number increases by 1 for each time the knight is reborn. Therefore, in the end, you can have 14 slots available in total for each of the knights on your squad.
How to get the Cosmos
The best way to get Cosmos is by hunting Titans. These usually give a high number of Cosmos, although the type of Cosmos varies throughout the week. You can also get Cosmos in Training or by buying from the Market.
types of cosmos
As we mentioned in this guide, before, there are four categories of Cosmos in Saint Seiya Awakening: Solar, Lunar, Star, and Legendary. Each group has its own Cosmos that affect specific attributes.
Before reviewing the tables that we present in this article, keep in mind the following aspects:
- Basic Attributes – These are the attributes that will always be affected by a given Cosmo. For example, Eagle Eye's Cosmo will always give a bonus to Cosmic Attack and Cosmic Damage. Also, the value of these attributes can vary in different ways. It is possible that you have 3 Eagle Eye Cosmos and each one gives you different values.
- Combined effect: it is the effect that you receive when combining three equal Cosmos. It is one of the ways the game has to make repeated Cosmos useful.
Now yes, let's see the types of Cosmos!

How to improve your Cosmos
There are two ways to improve your Cosmos in Saint Seiya Awakening: Strengthening and Refining.
Strengthen Cosmos
Strengthening Cosmos is one of two ways to increase the bonuses offered by Cosmos. To do that, you just have to enter the Cosmo you want, within the menu, and the option to "Fortify" will appear.
To strengthen a specific Cosmo, you will need the same Cosmos, since you will need to join those of the same type. The more Cosmos sacrificed, the higher the bonus to basic attributes. In addition to that, Empowered Cosmos has a small chance to generate an extra attribute. This addition is guaranteed whenever you level up a Cosmo to level 4 or 8.
Refine Cosmos
Cosmo refining is another way to upgrade knights that unlocks at level 25. Refining does not increase bonuses or change the type, but slightly modifies the values generated on the Cosmo. Every time you refine a Cosmo, you will have access to a few options and you can choose the one that is most useful to you.
Basically, refining is just a way to slightly control the randomness of the bonuses received, which can make a big difference later in the game. By refining, you can lock one attribute so that only the others change. A tool worth using!
