The Superstar
Legendary (1.0%)The Superstar plays unlike any other Schrift: instead of a straightforward damage kit, it revolves around popularity. Its Ctrl + M2 summons a Super Fan - randomly picked from your friends list - who cheers you on during combat. Every cheer raises your popularity meter, and the higher your popularity climbs, the bigger the output bonus each subsequent cheer grants. Your other base tool, Star Eagle Kick (Ctrl + M1), winds up a kick before teleporting you to the enemy and launching them away in a flash of blinding light.
In Letzt Stil the showmanship escalates. Reaching full popularity makes you grow in size and gain increased output, with other stat bonuses likely involved - community documentation notes this still requires further testing. Star Flash fires a blinding beam from your chest that deals constant damage and knocks the target back, while Star Lariat has you strike a pose, leap into the air, and slam down on top of your opponent.
Milestone upgrades lean into both halves of the kit. The damage line eventually gives every damaging move a rushdown follow-up and lets Star Flash disintegrate opponents, while Super Fan upgrades turn your fan into a bodyguard - swapping places with you when your posture breaks, and at the top level sacrificing themselves to save you from death. The Superstar has no variants.

Schrift moveset
Star Eagle Kick (Ctrl + M1) winds up a kick, teleports you to the enemy, and launches them away with a blinding light. Super Fan (Ctrl + M2, when no fan is active) summons your cheerleader; each cheer builds the popularity meter, and higher popularity means a stronger output bonus per cheer. The Super Fan is a random person pulled from your friends list.
Letzt Stil
The Letzt Stil passive triggers at full popularity: you grow in size and gain increased output, likely alongside other stat bonuses that the community has not finished testing. Star Flash (Ctrl + M2) sends a blinding beam from your chest for constant damage and knockback, and Star Lariat (Ctrl + M1 in submode) is a posed aerial slam onto your opponent.
Milestone upgrades
Damage: Level 7 gives all of The Superstar's damaging moves a rushdown follow-up; Level 8 lets Star Flash disintegrate opponents.
Super Fan Level: at Level 4 your fan swaps places with you to protect you when you are posture broken; at Level 9 your fan gives their life to save you when you are killed.
Popularity Rate: at Level 4, each cheer heals you slightly once you are at half popularity or more; at Level 8 the output boost per cheer lasts significantly longer. Video documentation confirms the loop in play: every Super Fan cheer heals the user, and at Level 8+ each cheer also grants a longer-lasting output boost.
Video-documented details
The Super Fan is community-nicknamed 'James' after the summon shown in early tier lists; it is a random avatar pulled from your Roblox friends list (hidden if your list is private). Creators observed the fan's cheers pushing the user's damage output up by roughly 120-130 (creator-stated figure, unit unclear - likely a flat output stat), and call The Superstar the only element in the game with a free revive: at high Super Fan Level the fan gives their life to save you.
Star Eagle Kick is blockable and parryable and hit for about 33 damage on one creator's Kido-focused build (build-dependent sample). With a maxed popularity bar and the mode popped, footage shows the two extra abilities in action: Star Lariat (a two-hit slam) and the star beam - a chest laser dealing very high constant damage - plus a heavy-hitting teleport punch tied to the mode.
Counterplay and synergies from creator play: the whole kit leans on the Super Fan staying alive, so opponents are advised to kill the fan first, and Superstar users to protect it. It pairs naturally with Hakuda (boxing or Muay Thai), and one documented build combines 400 Reserves / 400 Kido with the Soul Snatcher charm, which executes targets at or below 11% HP when hit by a Kido ability. Across nearly every creator tier list, The Superstar is the consensus number-one ability in the game.

FAQ
How rare is The Superstar in VV: Ultimatum?
It sits in the Legendary tier of the Quincy element pool with a 1.0% roll chance, making it the rarest Schrift bracket alongside no other documented Legendary Quincy elements.
Who is the Super Fan?
A random person from your friends list, summoned with Ctrl + M2 when no fan is active. Their cheers build your popularity meter, and upgrades let them heal you, shield you when posture broken, and even die in your place.
Does The Superstar have variants?
No - community documentation explicitly lists no variants for The Superstar, and current video documentation confirms it.
Who is 'James' and how do you counter The Superstar?
'James' is the community nickname for the Super Fan summon. Since the fan's cheers drive the healing and the output buff - and the fan can even die in your place - the documented counterplay is to kill the Super Fan first before fighting the user.
