Honkai: Star Rail: official kit preview of Aeon ★ Aha, the Elation Aeon who ascends the whole Path
On November 4, 2026, the official Honkai: Star Rail account published the "Aeon Preview | Aeon ★ Aha" and a Version 4.7 Light Cone preview. Aeon ★ Aha, the 5★ Elation character (Quantum) revealed in the 4.7 special program, arrives with Version 4.7 on November 11, 2026. Here is the kit as officially presented.
The preview gives no numbers for the skills (only "a certain amount", "a set percentage"…) and every image says "Version in development. Please treat the official version update for the game as final". Eidolons, recommended relics and teams were not shown. Official French names are not published yet: English names are kept below.
In short
The official tags sum it up: Path of Elation exclusive enhancement, leading role of the brand-new Aha Instant and suppressing enemy Max HP.
- Once Aha fills Wishpower and uses the Ultimate, THEY enter "Faces of Elation": the Path of Elation ascends, Punchline becomes Bliss and Certified Banger becomes Party Trick, and Elation allies activate their Innate Traces.
- Even without the Ultimate, Aha personally leads the Aha Instant: its base SPD rises to Aha's and its performance speed goes up.
- THEIR Aeonic Authority applies Elation Debt to enemies, which keeps whittling down their Max HP.
Abilities
| Ability | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Basic ATK | Starfrost, Showtime! | Quantum Elation DMG to one enemy. |
| Skill | This Emanator Was Certified by Aha™ | One other ally gains "Emanator of Elation" (whole battle, until it moves to a new target: higher Elation, and Aha gains Wishpower at the start of that ally's turn), then Aha launches a Follow-up ATK on all enemies. |
| Ultimate | Aha! Let There Be Laughter | Aha's action advances and THEY gain "Faces of Elation" for several turns; Quantum Elation DMG to all enemies, then many hits on random enemies. |
| Talent | Work Wonders with THEM | The Ultimate needs Wishpower (which can overflow past its cap). Basic ATK, Skill and Elation Skill give Wishpower; the first time allies' Punchline reaches a threshold, Aha gains Wishpower and all allies gain CRIT DMG (again after Aha's turn ends). |
| Talent | Aha Instant Incoming | With Aha in the team (or once obtained), Aha leads the Aha Instant, can fast-forward the Elation Skill, and the Aha Instant's base SPD becomes Aha's. |
| Elation Skill | Yes Aha At Full Moon | Always used at the end of the Aha Instant: Quantum Elation DMG to all enemies plus True DMG equal to a share of the non-True DMG allies dealt during that Aha Instant. |
| Technique | ABRACADABRA! | A Special Dimension makes enemies unable to detect you ("Optical Illusion"); at the start of combat Aha gets an extra turn that does not consume Punchline. |
| Aeonic Authority | The True Story of Aha | DMG by Aha or a teammate applies Elation Debt equal to a share of the enemy's HP loss; it persists through phase transitions, capped at a share of Max HP. |
Traces: A Prank on Aeons (the Skill's Follow-up ATK adds Elation DMG of the Emanator's Type and recovers Skill Points), A Carnival in Whimsy (Wishpower when healed or shielded by a teammate, once per Ultimate), A Box of Everything (more Elation at 125 / 150 SPD, and action advance at the start of combat).
Innate Traces of the Elation characters
During "Faces of Elation", each Elation ally activates an exclusive Innate Trace (Aha also gains CRIT Rate and DEF ignore):
- Trailblazer (Elation) — Plot Armor: the Ultimate's CRIT DMG boost grows and applies to all allies; before Aha's Elation Skill, the Trailblazer's Elation Skill triggers once with a higher multiplier based on Party Trick.
- Yao Guang — Mind Reading: higher "Great Boon" multiplier; Energy and Bliss after her Ultimate.
- Sparxie — Hat Trick: higher Elation Skill multiplier, DEF ignore for allies, extra Bliss from "Straight Fire".
- Silver Wolf LV.999 — Holographic Mirage: "Hidden MMR" can overflow, more CRIT DMG, Hidden MMR from Party Trick.
- Evanescia — Pages to Petals: overflow Energy is stored and refunded after her Ultimate, DEF ignore, stronger next Ultimate with Party Trick.
- Aventurine • Waveflair — Three-Card Monte: works with Aha as the only other Elation teammate, plus SPD for all allies and extra "Fervor" and Bliss.
- Pearl — Leaping Off the Page: higher Party Trick cap; part of the Certified Banger and Punchline from her extra turn is kept.
Light Cones
- Upon the First Echo of "Aha" (5★ Elation, Aha's signature, Lv. 80: HP 952 / ATK 582 / DEF 529) — Improv Tour (S1): base SPD +12; using the Skill on another ally gives 10 Punchline (at most once per turn gap), then all allies ignore 16% DEF for the rest of the battle (does not stack). Effects only work on Elation characters.
- See You at the World's End! (4★ Elation, Lv. 80: HP 846 / ATK 476 / DEF 396) — Conspirator (S5): +10% CRIT DMG per Elation character in the team, +20% more while Aeon ★ Aha is on the field. Free at S5 from the Version 4.7 Trailblaze Mission.
Ascension and Trace materials shown: Whimsy Wax, Sneering Harlequin, The Fluffy Hand-drawn Storyboards, High Hopes of the Falsely Enlightened.
Aha is built around the whole Elation roster: if you already have Elation characters (Sparxie, Yao Guang, Silver Wolf LV.999, Evanescia, Pearl, Aventurine • Waveflair or the Trailblazer), each of them gains an exclusive bonus with Aha. Their warp "A Comedy of Stars" runs for the whole of Version 4.7, and our guide will follow at release.
