Elation
Ice5★Released: 28/09/2026 · v4.6 Welcome. I am Pearl, an artwork investment specialist working for the IPC's Strategic Investment Department, and Planarcadia's current CEO. My calculated outcome: we can start with my artwork to get to know each other better.
Pearl is an Ice sustain on the Path of Elation. She heals the whole team, spends Certified Banger to block damage for her allies, cleanses debuffs and boosts the team's Elation DMG on top of that. The more Elation characters you run with her, the stronger she gets, so if you are building an Elation team, she is well worth pulling.
She is the best fit if you already have Yao Guang and an Elation DPS like Silver Wolf LV.999, Evanescia or Aventurine • Waveflair. Pearl needs 4 Elation characters on the team to show her full strength, so if your account has few Elation characters, think it over first.
Pearl's healing and damage scale off her DEF, while the extra Elation DMG she deals during Deep Learning uses the stats of the Aesthetic Archetype. That means you don't need to build her for damage at all: just focus on SPD and DEF.

Outgoing Healing Boost or DEF% both work on the Body. Always take SPD on the Feet so Pearl acts more often. Take DEF% on the Planar Sphere, since both her healing and her damage scale off DEF, and Energy Regeneration Rate on the Link Rope to get her Ultimate up faster.
Get SPD first, aiming for around 160 so Pearl gets more turns in the first cycle. After that, push DEF as high as you can. Effect RES is less important than those two, but it helps Pearl resist crowd control.
The Elation Skill sets how much extra Elation DMG the whole team deals, so level it first. After that it depends on what you need: the Talent raises the damage reduction for her allies, Basic ATK and Skill raise her healing, and the Ultimate mostly raises damage.
All three Traces matter a lot, so unlock them early. Aesthetic Firewall regenerates 90 Energy for Pearl when an Elation Aesthetic Archetype uses their next Ultimate. Sensory Latitude gives the whole team 50% Effect RES while Pearl holds Certified Banger, cleanses debuffs and gives her more Certified Banger. Panoptic Vision raises Pearl's Elation once her DEF reaches 2400 or higher, and also gives her Outgoing Healing Boost based on her Elation.
E1 is already very strong: it raises Elation for all allies (up to 60% with 4 Elation characters on the team) and saves an ally from a fatal hit, restoring 50% of their Max HP, up to 2 times per battle. E2 makes her Ultimate also advance the other Elation characters, doubles the Certified Banger and Punchline gained in the extra turn, and merrymakes the whole team's Elation DMG by 15%. Further on, E4 doubles the Elation Skill's multiplier, and E6 gives the whole team 20% All-Type RES PEN during Deep Learning.
A full Elation team, exactly what Pearl likes most. Using Pearl's Ultimate directly on Silver Wolf LV.999 can make Silver Wolf LV.999 leave her own Ultimate early before she reaches the high thresholds, so time it carefully. You can also use it on Yao Guang so Yao Guang cycles Energy better, and Silver Wolf LV.999 still gets part of the benefit.
Pearl spends Certified Banger to block damage, and everything she spends is converted into Certified Banger for Evanescia. If you use the Ultimate on Evanescia, Pearl's Enhanced Basic ATK deals Elation DMG based on Evanescia's stats, which pays off well. Just keep in mind that Evanescia takes some of Pearl's Certified Banger, so Pearl's damage block can get thinner.
Aventurine • Waveflair can't use the temporary Certified Banger and Punchline from Pearl's Ultimate. Even so, the extra turn still helps him build up more stacks of his own mechanic, so it is quite useful.
This team doesn't need Yao Guang. Trailblazer (Elation) and an Elation DPS are the two pieces you should have if you want Pearl to use her full kit. Asta raises the whole team's SPD, and most Elation characters benefit from SPD.
Silver Wolf LV.999's best teams are already full of Elation characters, so Pearl fits right in. Pearl's Ultimate gives Silver Wolf LV.999 extra resources to use her own Ultimate or reach higher thresholds for CRIT stats and damage multiplier, but pick the timing carefully.
The Certified Banger Pearl spends to block damage is converted into Certified Banger for Evanescia. With Pearl at E2, the Energy Evanescia gains from the extra turn is also doubled.
Plays well with Pearl in a full Elation team. He can't use the temporary resources from her Ultimate, but the extra turn still helps him stack faster.
Part of Pearl's best teams. Using Pearl's Ultimate on Yao Guang helps her cycle Energy better, and Yao Guang also benefits from Pearl's Elation DMG buff.
Close to a must if you want the most out of Pearl's kit, and the Trailblazer also benefits from the Elation DMG buff of her Elation Skill.
Raises the whole team's SPD, and most Elation characters want SPD.
Her Talent lets Pearl use Certified Banger as Repellency, with 1 point equal to 200 Repellency. When an ally takes DMG, Pearl consumes Repellency to block 60% of that DMG for them. Her Certified Banger lasts indefinitely and caps at 50, so you can treat it like a shield that is always there. Allies at 50% HP or lower also take reduced DMG on top of that.
Pearl refills it steadily: her Skill gives 15 points, her Ultimate gives 20, and thanks to Sensory Latitude she gains 5 more every time an ally's turn begins.
Her Ultimate makes 1 ally (not Pearl herself) the Aesthetic Archetype. With 1/2/3 or more Elation characters on the team, that ally's action is advanced by 10%/15%/30%. With 4 or more Elation characters, they also get 1 extra turn, gaining 30 Certified Banger and 60 Punchline at the start of it, which are removed when the extra turn ends.
It is not always right to give it to your main DPS. With Silver Wolf LV.999 you need to time it, while giving it to Yao Guang gets her Energy faster. If the Aesthetic Archetype is an Elation character, their next Ultimate regenerates 90 Energy for Pearl through Aesthetic Firewall.
After her Ultimate, Pearl enters Deep Learning with 3 Charge, and each Enhanced Basic ATK uses 1. Her Basic ATK becomes Brushstroke: Render the Great Wave, which hits all enemies and heals the whole team. If the Aesthetic Archetype is an Elation character, it becomes Brushstroke: Imagenate the Starry Night instead and also deals extra Ice Elation DMG calculated from the Aesthetic Archetype's stats.
Thanks to Sensory Latitude, every Enhanced Basic ATK or Skill also dispels 1 debuff from all allies.
Pearl's Elation Skill makes every ally deal extra Elation DMG of their own Type after their next attack. The bonus grows with 1, 2, 3 and then 4 Elation characters on the team, and peaks at 4. Her Ultimate also only grants the extra turn with 4 Elation characters, so if you want Pearl at full power, run a full Elation team.
Deals Ice DMG equal to 126% of Pearl’s DEF to one designated enemy.
Gains 15 point(s) of “Certified Banger,” restores HP for all ally targets equal to 15% of Pearl’s DEF plus 300, and additionally restores HP for the ally target with the lowest current HP percentage by an amount equal to 15% of Pearl’s DEF plus 300.
Gains 20 point(s) of “Certified Banger”. Uses “Deep Learning” on one designated ally character other than this unit, making the target the “Aesthetic Archetype.”
When there are 1/2/(3 or more) Elation characters on the team, advances the “Aesthetic Archetype’s” action by 10%/15%/30% respectively. When there are 4 or more Elation characters on the team, the “Aesthetic Archetype” gains 1 extra turn. At the start of this extra turn, the “Aesthetic Archetype” gains 30 point(s) of “Certified Banger” and 60 point(s) of Punchline, which are removed at the end of the extra turn.
While “Deep Learning,” Basic ATK “Brushstroke: Trace the Severed Stream” gets enhanced to “Brushstroke: Render the Great Wave.” If the “Aesthetic Archetype” is on the Path of Elation, it is instead enhanced to “Brushstroke: Imagenate the Starry Night.” And after attacking, additionally deals 75% Ice Elation DMG. This Elation DMG is calculated based on the “Aesthetic Archetype’s” stats. “Deep Learning” has 3 point(s) of Charge. After Pearl uses an Enhanced Basic ATK, 1 point of Charge is consumed. If no Charge remains after taking action, “Deep Learning” ends.
Pearl can use “Certified Banger” as Repellency. Each point of “Certified Banger” is equivalent to 200 point(s) of Repellency. When an ally target takes DMG, Pearl can consume Repellency to offset 60% of that DMG for the ally target. Pearl’s “Certified Banger” lasts indefinitely and has a max limit of 50.
When an ally target’s current HP percentage is 50% or lower, their DMG taken gets reduced by 38%.
After using Technique, gains “Aesthetic Archetype.” When switching active characters, “Aesthetic Archetype” transfers to the currently active character. At the start of the next battle, Pearl gains 20 “Certified Banger” and applies “Deep Learning” on the character with “Aesthetic Archetype.” This “Deep Learning” has 2 Charge. Pearl can only apply “Deep Learning” on characters other than herself.
When there are 1/2/3/(4 or more) Elation characters in the team, then after all ally targets use their next attack, enables them to additionally deal Elation DMG of their corresponding Type to the attack target, equal to 12.5%/18.8%/25%/50% respectively.
When the number of Elation Path characters on the team equals 2/3/(4 or more), increases Elation for all allies by 10%/20%/60% respectively. If an ally target takes fatal damage, they will not get knocked down. Instead, immediately restores their HP by an amount equal to 50% of their Max HP. This effect can trigger 2 time(s) per battle.
Merrymakes all ally targets’ Elation DMG by 15%. When using Ultimate, causes other ally Elation characters (excluding Pearl and “Aesthetic Archetype”) to also trigger the action advance effect. And the “Certified Banger” and Punchline gained at the start of the extra turn provided by the Ultimate increase by 100%.
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
Elation Skill Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
The Elation DMG provided by Elation Skill to all ally targets has its multiplier increased by 100% of its original multiplier.
Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Elation Skill Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
While “Deep Learning,” all ally targets’ All-Type RES PEN increases by 20%. Pearl’s Enhanced Basic ATK additionally deals 240% Ice Elation DMG, which is calculated based on the stats of “Aesthetic Archetype.”
Pearl is an Ice sustain on the Path of Elation who shines brightest in teams full of Elation characters. She stores Certified Banger to absorb damage for her allies, heals the whole team and dispels debuffs. Her Ultimate turns one ally into the Aesthetic Archetype to advance their action, and with four Elation characters on the team that ally also gains an extra turn.
