At first, a Grasta has no ability, and cannot be equipped. To enable the effects of a Grasta, the player must visit a Cat Hokora, which can be found all across the present-era Garulea Continent.
There are three functions at a Cat Hokora: Bind, Separate, and Rescind.
The main means of unlocking Grastas' abilities. You must invest Grasta pieces and Git to upgrade the Grasta. There are two levels of a Grasta upgrade -- Activation and Awakening. Activation enables the Grasta's stat bonuses and lets you equip it to a character; Awakening enables an additional passive ability. You can Awaken an equipped Grasta without needing to take it off.
There are three types of Grasta pieces for an upgrade -- Fragments, Crystals, and Jadeites. Fragments are commonly found from monsters defeated all across Garulea, including its Another Dungeons. Crystals are commonly obtained from Horrors in the Another Dungeon, or from Separating Awakened mid-tier Grastas. Jadeites are incredibly rare and only obtained as rewards or from trading within the Another Dungeon.
Grastas come in four varieties -- offense, recovery, support, and special. Offense Grastas consume Attack pieces, Recovery Grastas require Life pieces, and Support Grastas use Support pieces. All types can be found from monster drops or in chests scattered around the continent (except Support, which can be obtained only in Past and Future, not Present). Not all Grastas are made equal; some bestow stronger abilities and/or better stats at the cost of requiring more components and Git to upgrade.
Some unique Grastas are obtained in their already-awakened state, so they can be equipped right away for full benefit without needing to expend any resources.

Separate[edit]
You can destroy your unequipped Grasta to recycle them into components. Activated and Awakened Grastas can be destroyed for more components. Unique Grastas, which possess a golden rim, can never be destroyed this way.

Note that the net gain for separating Medium tier grasta is max when you separate Awakened grasta.
For Special grasta, instead, is far more efficient to separate their Activated version
Rescind[edit]
Unequip Grastas from a character. Before v2.3.200, you could only rescind all Grastas at once, and this came at a cost of 100,000 Git per Grasta removed. This function is now free, and you can rescind individual Grastas.
Hokora Pilgrimage[edit]
After completion of Chapter 53 and in v2.13.500 onward, an event with Nyanjiro at the Cat Shrine Hokora lets you unlock the ability to Bind/Separate/Rescind Grasta from your Grasta menu without needing to be at any Cat Hokora. You'll also be told to speak to the shrine maiden who tells you of the hokora pilgrimage.
See Bellwarden's Grace for hokora pilgrimage.
Valor Chant Grastas page to edit
The Bonfire[edit]
If you've completed Chapter 55, excess Tomes can be discarded at the bonfire in the Cat Shrine to produce special Grastas that upgrade a character's Valor Chant. They are equipped in the fourth special Grasta slot, which is unlocked after the completion of Chapter 57. Generally, 10 copies of a 5-star Tome or Psalm are needed to make a Valor Chant Grasta. For Another Styles, you need 5 copies of their Treatise. Other 5-star characters who upgrade without using Tomes or Psalms will instead gain three copies of their VC Grasta through other methods, such as hidden quests. Any 4-star Tomes can be recycled for 2 Special Fragments apiece, and you can only acquire Special Crystals by separating activated VC Grastas.
Most Valor Chant Grastas only extend the duration of Valor Chant effects, but certain characters such as Claude (Another Style) gain increased Valor Chant modifiers. The actual effects of the Valor Chant Grasta can be found on the character's individual page and on the All Valor Chant collection.
True VC Grastas[edit]
After partial completion of Chapter 60 where Altena has joined Aldo and his friends and having learned the tutorial of the bonfire, return to Angal Settlement to trigger a subquest. Head to the Cat Shrine Remnants, and you'll be sent to gather Cat Shrine Charms scattered all across Future Garulea. They appear as white gleaming spots, and each can hold anywhere between 1 to 5 Charms. Once you've collected all 88, return to the Cat Shrine Remnants and speak with Nyanjiro's spirit, and he will rebuild part of the Cat Shrine.
From that point on, you can visit the Cat Shrine Remnants to exchange three unequipped, fully-Awakened copies of a Valor Chant Grasta for a True Valor Chant Grasta. The True Valor Chant Grastas grant an increased stat bonus but retain the same effects as its normal Valor Chant Grastas.
Enhancements page to edit
Grasta Enhancements[edit]
Upon starting Chapter 70, you gain the ability to enhance fully awakened Grastas with Nekomasa's assistance along with items called ores. Enhanced Grastas will appear orange, and each Grasta only has capacity for one enhancement. Enhancing an already enhanced Grasta will erase the old enhancement without any refunds - however, if you have 
Reversion Ores, you can Revert an enhanced Grasta to regain the ore used on it. Valor Chant Grastas cannot be enhanced.
There are two types of Grasta enhancement and each uses its own type of ore: dormant and specialized (also known as augmented or add effect). 
Dormant Ores are more common and they will enhance the existing Grasta's effect or give it a new one - the effect is dependent on the Grasta (see 'Grastas' table linked below, specifically the 'Upgrade' lines). 
Specialized ores grant a specific ability or effect to the Grasta.
After completing Chapter 70 and from v2.13.500 onwards, speak to Nekomasa in Itoise to unlock the ability to enhance your Grasta from the main menu without needing to travel to Itoise.
To view the collection of Grasta Ores, see the Grasta Ores page.
Personality Grastas[edit]
For some grastas, Dormant Ore introduces the ability to share with Personalities and allow the effect of grastas to affect characters outside of the the grasta holder in the party. These grasta can only be equipped by a character who has the personality defined on the grasta name. The community refers to characters holding 3 of the following grastas as "Grasta Mule" or "Grasta Slave".
- Use the Shareable filter under the Grasta pages to identify which grasta fall under this category.
- Currently only some T3 Attack Grastas and all of the T1 Support Grastas fall under this category.
- Under each Character page, under general information, Overlapping 2+* shareable Personality is shown so that you may understand who is the best character to act as supporting character.
- There are no grasta currently tied to a element personality.
See Personality Grasta Recommendations for more insight.
