Elation Trailblazer Best Main Stats & Sub Stats

As a Sub DPS Support character for the Elation teams, Elation Trailblazer wants stats that can help boost their own damage output, survivability and energy regen to help them use their Ultimate as frequently as possible.

Important Stat Threshold:

– Like with other DPS characters, players should aim for a 1:2 Critical Ratio for Elation Trailblazer and aim to boost their critical stats as high as possible.

– Since Elation Trailblazer wants to use their Ultimate as frequently as possible, players should use the Energy Regen Rope for them to help optimize their Ultimate rotation.

– Elation Trailblazer doesn’t really need to do much damage so it’s generally better for players to focus on boosting their survivability to ensure that they can survive for longer to help support the team.

Elation Trailblazer Best Teams 

As a Sub DPS/ Support character for the Elation team, Elation Trailblazer can generally be used in any Elation teams as either the main pick or a substitute pick to help the team generate Certified Banger Points and Punchlines.

Silver Wolf Lv.999 Hypercarry Team

Silver Wolf Lv.999	Elation Trailblazer	Yao Guang	Sparkle
Main DPS	Sub DPS/ Enabler	Support	Support

The Punchline team focuses on generating as many Punchlines stacks as possible by utilizing Elation Trailblazer’s Ultimate to generate Punchline and retrigger Silver Wolf Lv.999’s Elation Skil to generate even more Punchlines. Once Silver Wolf Lv.999’s Ultimate is readied, she can use it to deal powerful Enhanced Basic Attack damage to enemies based on the amount of Punchline stacks. Yao Guang is used as the main Elation Support character, capable of boosting the team’s overall Elation damage output and allowing the team to forcefully trigger their Elation Skills to generate even more Punchline stacks to fuel Silver Wolf Lv.999’s Energy. Sparkle is the team’s SP Support, capable of providing the team with the massive amount of SP needed for the team to function. 

Please note that since this team doesn’t have a sustain, it is very important that players manage the team’s HP carefully when playing this team. Elation Trailblazer can be substituted with Sparxie for better damage output but more clunky rotation overall.

Evanescia Hypercarry Team

Evanescia’s team focuses on triggering as many Aha Instances as possible in order to generate Certified Banger Points and granting the entire team large amounts of energy at the end of Aha Instances. Evanescia is the team’s main DPS as she can deal powerful Physical Elation Damage to enemies with her Ultimate and she gains immense benefits and energy based on the amount of Certified Banger Points generated by the team. Elation Trailblazer serves as a temporary sub DPS and enabler character for this team until Elation Trailblazer gets a more dedicated support, with their abilities being able to generate a moderate amount of Certified Banger Points while also being able to forcefully trigger Evanesciar’s Elation Skill. 

Yao Guang is the team’s main Elation support option with her ability to forcefully trigger the Aha Instance to grant the team additional Certified Banger points and boost the team’s overall Elation damage output.
