THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY:
By themself, Stardust seems to just get by. Losing a one on one and coming close to defeat, while combating a group, made Stardust seem like they were on point. When paired up with a team like with Galactus, or with friendly units that would apply stat bonuses, it's a different story.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT:
Keeping distance, and moving away from the opponent, to attack or reposition themself is a big thing for Stardust. Couple of times being locked down and made immobile seemed beneficial but with a high defense, they were able to block most attacks and return with a heavy hit to break free and continue moving around and heal up.
The Cosmic Slash ability definitely requires some kind of set up to get at least two figures for the attack.
Energy Form is the big winner here, keeping Stardust alive and moving around
--------------------
Played with Fret who recommends a defense drop. I would have to agree as having a little less defense would have made the outcome of some matches end differently and make it more manageable in bringing Stardust down. Pretty much all times when Stardust was close to death, they managed to get away, or break free from being immobilized, just to get health back and into the fight.
