Honkai Star Rail Elation Team Guide – How To Make The Best Elation Teams

Honkai Star Rail Elation Team Guide – Important Things To Consider

General Introduction

The Elation teams in the game are teams whose main gimmick revolves around the various important effects of the Elation Path and mainly consist of at least 3 Elation characters in the same team in order to optimize the effect of the Elation Path.

The Elation teams’ main goal is to either optimize the damage output of the Elation characters’ Elation Skills or to trigger the Elation Characters’ Elation Skills as frequently as possible by triggering the Aha Instance effect, allowing the team to deal damage that ignores the enemies’ elements through te special Elation damage effects.

Important Effects To Consider

Unlike other teams in the game where the effects are native to the game and is introduced right at the introduction of the game, the Elation team and the Elation Path as a whole is an entirely brand new path with various brand new mechanics added to the game, making it so that it is extremely important for players to know about all of the most intricate details of the team in order to optimize the gameplay of the team when building an Elation centric team.

Some of the important mechanics and effects players need to know and consider when playing the Elation teams includes:

– Aha Instance: Aha Instance is the most important effect for the Elation team and serves as something that players need to take into account when building the team. At the start of a fight, if there are Elation characters in your team, a special Aha Instance action will be added to the action bar. When this action activates, all of the Elation Characters will activate their Elation Skills and deal Elation damage to enemies, with the damage being increased proportional to how many Elation character takes part in the Aha Instance and how many Punchline stacks were generated before the Aha Instance trigger. The maximum number of Elation characters counted for the Aha Instance is 3 and all of them are granted the special Certified Banger effect at the start of battle and at the end of every Aha Instance to signifies their involvement in the Aha Instance.

– Elation Damage: Elation Damage is a special type of damage that completely ignores enemies’ weaknesses, elements and resistances. It is triggered when Aha Instance triggers and is the sum of all of the damage output of the Elation characters’ Elation Skills during the Aha Instance. In exchange for completely ignoring the enemies’ resistances and elements, Elation Damage can not be boosted by any conventional Damage Increase Effects, this means that Elation Damage can only be increased through the various Elation characters’ skill kit and through Elation Damage stat, making it generally very difficult to boost the damage of Elation Damage through means outside of the Elation Path.

– Elation Skills: Elation Skills are special skills that only Elation Path characters have access to, these skills only deal Elation Damage and its damage can be boosted through the various stats of the Elation Character like Speed for Yao Guang and Attack For Silver Wolf Lv.999. These Elation Skills will be triggered in order from Left to Right during a fight when the Aha Instance takes action, with all Elation characters triggering their Elation Skills at the same time.

– Punchlines: Punchlines is a special stack effect that Elation Characters have access to through their skill kit and serves as a method to boost the damage output of the Aha Instance. When the Aha Instance is triggered, it will take into account the amount of Punchlines stacks players have generated and will deal more damage proportional to the amount of Punchline stacks present. After the Aha Instance is triggered, all of the Punchlines stacks will be reset. Some Elation characters’ skill kit also deal more damage based on the amount of Punchline stacks generated by the team.

– Certified Banger: Certified Banger is another of the Elation path’s special stack mechanics. All Elation characters taking part in the Aha Instance are granted Certified Banger Points at the start of the battle and after every Aha Instance Trigger. The more characters with Certified Banger Points and the more Points they have, the more damage the Aha Instance and the characters’ Elation Skill damage will deal. At the end of the Aha Instance, Certified Banger Points will be granted back tot he Elation characters in addition to an amount of Energy proportional to the amount of Certified Banger Points they have on them when the Aha Instance is triggered.
