The Elation Trailblazer is a free Lightning support built for Elation teams. Every attack she makes generates Punchline and a fixed amount of Energy, her Skill grants her Certified Banger on demand, and her Ultimate gives one ally +50% CRIT DMG plus a free Elation Skill. Think of her as a single-target, budget take on Yao Guang: less flexible than her Remembrance form, but a strong, accessible piece of any Elation hypercarry team.

Teams
Recommended teams
Evanescia hypercarry
Her most used team. Evanescia siphons the Certified Banger the Trailblazer generates, the Ultimate's forced Elation Skill and CRIT DMG go straight to her, and Huohuo refunds Energy.
Silver Wolf LV.999
Takes Sparxie's place in Silver Wolf's usual lineup: CRIT DMG, Certified Banger so Silver Wolf never runs out of it before her enhanced Basic ATKs, and a forced Elation Skill that helps her reach her Ultimate.
Sparxie
Her Ultimate triggers Sparxie's Elation Skill and its huge multipliers; Sparxie's own Ultimate generates plenty of Punchline in return.
Guide
How to play
How she works
- Talent – That Smile Hits Different. After every attack (her Elation Skill included), she regenerates a fixed 10 Energy and gains 3 Punchline for the team. While she holds Certified Banger, her Skill also deals 30% Lightning Elation DMG to all enemies, calculated with the highest Certified Banger value in the team.
- Skill – Let the Storm Rage On. AoE Lightning DMG, and she gains 20 Certified Banger on the spot. She is the first character who can gain Certified Banger without going through an Aha Instant, so she can keep that state up as long as you have Skill Points.
- Ultimate – May the Trailblaze Fly You Starward (160 Energy). +5 Punchline, then one ally gets +50% CRIT DMG for 3 turns and is cleansed of Crowd Control debuffs. If that ally has an Elation Skill, they also gain 10 Certified Banger and immediately cast their Elation Skill, counting a fixed 20 Punchline. A non-Elation ally gets a 50% action advance instead.
- Elation Skill – I Said "Elation," Did I Stutter? 8 bounces of 20% Lightning Elation DMG, then 60% split evenly across all enemies. It fires in every Aha Instant, like every Elation Skill.
- Technique – We Are So Back! All allies start the next fight with +20% Elation (high chance) or +30% Elation (low chance) for 3 turns.
Rotation
- Use her Technique before every fight.
- On her turns, use her Skill when Skill Points allow (it keeps her Certified Banger up); otherwise a Basic ATK still refunds 10 Energy and 3 Punchline.
- Aim her Ultimate at your main Elation damage dealer, and time it with their kit: a forced Elation Skill at the wrong moment is wasted value (with Silver Wolf LV.999, for example, choose between reaching her Ultimate sooner and saving it for her enhanced state).
Tips
- SPD is king: more turns means more Punchline and more Ultimates. Her base SPD (106) is above average; aim for 160 to also get the full 4-piece Diviner of Distant Reach bonus.
- Her A2 converts ATK above 1,000 into Elation (+10% per 200 ATK), capped at +60% at 2,200 ATK. Her A4 adds 15% CRIT Rate and recovers 1 Skill Point after each Ultimate.
- The Trailblazer can only take part in one of your teams in endgame modes, so choosing between her Elation and Remembrance forms is a real trade-off: Elation wins if you are invested in the Elation archetype, Remembrance if your other teams need her more.
Strengths
- Gives an ally a free Elation Skill with every Ultimate
- Generates Punchline for the team with every attack
- Strong single-target CRIT DMG buff, plus Elation (E2) and a 10% Vulnerability (E4)
- Good Energy economy thanks to fixed Energy on every attack
- Free, with all Eidolons, and useful in every Elation team
Weaknesses
- Competes with the far more versatile Remembrance Trailblazer, since only one Trailblazer fits in a team
- Wants a lot of SPD to cast enough Ultimates
- Her single-target Ultimate struggles to support dual-DPS teams
- Close to useless outside Elation teams
- Takes practice to time her Ultimate well
