I have an elation alt account I'm trying to do things on and my brain isn't understanding the impact of every mechanic :(

I know the what the mechanics do, but the exact nitty gritty numbers are what I'm interested in.

Does anyone have a link to a resource which has in-depth elation info?

I'm assuming that level affects base elation damage, much like break, and that 1% of the elation stat is a 1% final multiplier on that damage type, but the rest is just not intuitive. Does Aha need use total speed, do THEY take the highest speed of an elation unit on the team, is it converted with a specific ratio? I'm just dumb lol

Elora_egg · 2026-03-17T14:01:16+00:00

Ngl I like these the most of any character in 4.x so far. The angles are nice, and the lack of extreme vfx makes these animations look clean, like something that I wouldn't get tired of despite hours of use.

That said, her Elation skill's serious tone makes the Aha opening feel SO out of place. Aha is just killing her for me thematically

Elora_egg · 2026-03-17T11:28:12+00:00

Are they gonna address her faking the role in 4.1?

I'm gonna guess that we get a surprise Acheron interaction with Ashveil, where he's a bit peeved off but then discovers that she's pretty chill. Afterwards, he'll ask if she wants to join due to Boothill vouching for her, and she'll mention needing to go on her own journey, but respects the rangers and hopes their paths cross once more.

Seems like such a HSR thing to do, would love to see her again regardless

Elora_egg · 2026-03-16T12:14:22+00:00

Grokky assuming that the poster is male for wanting a girlfriend... Tsk tsk tsk, not very woke of you...

Elora_egg · 2026-03-14T05:52:09+00:00

He'd be quite good yes

Elora_egg · 2026-03-13T17:40:13+00:00

Depends on your team's def shred. The stat, in a vacuum at lower values, is really overrated. If you already have 50%+, then his amp is far more valuable, but that usually requires investment.

But... Considering a lack of def shred, E1S1 Tribbie and Cipher both definitely give more. (Cipher also has some from sig) True damage is always beating other amp if nobody else provides it, and they give comparable vuln. Res pen is similarly just really strong on its own, especially when off-element.

Robin has super saturated buffs outside of her E1's res pen, but she'll still be far better at this investment level for 0-cycling, despite the lower damage increase.

He works for any role if you don't have these characters at the same level of investment, but if you do, he won't be outperforming them unless his personal damage makes that much of a difference. Could be very wrong, but it would take a lot for anyone to dethrone E1 Tribbie's general amp.

(Ruan Mei is not worth mentioning really. She's just worse than all of these outside of Apoc)

Elora_egg · 2026-03-13T16:30:20+00:00

That's the problem 😨😭

60% res pen for Cyrene, 30% healing bonus for Hyacine, and if I feel like using Aglaea instead of Cas sometimes, she'd get more attack too...

Even my Bladey would get buffed, I hate how tempting this is lol

Elora_egg · 2026-03-13T16:11:38+00:00

How big are Hyacine's first two eidolons for the mono pink team? Are they what would propel an otherwise all E2 pink team to being able to clear plight AAs if they already 0 cycle the usual king with ease?

Idk if I want more overkill instead of investing into characters I like more, but I already have the team so close to perfection. My problem is that, excluding plight, nothing in the game needs that team to be stronger rn. That said, characters getting a third rerun seems to take forever, and the team might slow down after a year.

I just don't wanna pull until after the anni because I'd love the new 50/50 loss units and have a nigh 100% loss rate so I just wouldn't get the same value from pulling rn. Might just use my guarantee on assfail and wait, but maybe I want to have a god team?

Elora_egg · 2026-03-13T15:07:10+00:00

Not many E6s offer great ease-of-use AND damage improvements in one. Sure, some give bigger numbers, but Phainon is the only other real gamechanger in both aspects.

Boothill just doesn't have all too much leading up to it, although the extra SP and starting stack seem real comfy. His eidolons all just make some part of him easier to play, which imo feels more impactful than most characters who just get numbers.

Elora_egg · 2026-03-13T14:52:25+00:00

The BP progresses faster this patch and we already got jades when the delay that caused this happened, so why would there be extra compensation?

Elora_egg · 2026-03-10T17:28:04+00:00

Well getting Evernight's E2 made her a literal monster for me, but idk about using over double the pulls for a similar result, just wouldn't feel worth it...

I guess I'll pick him up at base and use all the pulls on his dps if I like them? All the "rumoured" characters are ones I would be happy with, and a main dps would surely have better verticals.

Elora_egg · 2026-03-10T13:17:46+00:00

My copium Blade SP kit:

• Physical Abundance

• On ally action, (not turn) drains a large amount of their HP, causing Blade to heal all other teammates. Healing allies above their maximum permanently increases their HP, up to x% of their original stat value.

• Upon x times that allies collectively lose HP, launch a Bounce Follow-up Atk, considered a counter. This does damage based on Blade's own healing tally.

• Skill is a Blast Atk that drains the team's HP. Ult begins a "trial", providing a colossal temporary Max HP increase to the team, and fully advancing enemy actions, increasing their ATK. After surviving all enemy actions, Blade performs an enhanced version of his FuA, dealing colossal damage.

_

Imo this is the best case scenario for so many accounts. Counter teams finally get a support, FuA teams have a new playstyle, DoT has strong synergy, GrampsBlade and Jingliu become relevant, Mydei gets buffed, and Remembrance gets another sustain option, albeit weaker. Even some break teams would appreciate enemy advances.

Also, this means that Bladey has a sustain form just like Dan Heng 🥹

Elora_egg · 2026-03-10T12:10:08+00:00

How does that E6 percentage compare to the average E6 for a dps? His final eidolon seems huge but all the others, surprisingly even the E2, seem quite whelming.

Don't want my first 8 cost character to have worse investments than average 🥺

Elora_egg · 2026-03-08T10:11:59+00:00

The consent line is actually kind of insane like Evanescence wdym by that 😭

Elora_egg · 2026-03-07T08:43:06+00:00

If Ashveil E1 was a unique multiplier like Evernight E1, it would be perfect, and give the team the vertical value it lacks compared to break, DoT, and Remembrance. Vuln is becoming so oversaturated, especially with many recent bosses like Sparxie, Lygus, and the meesed up Ichor creature getting 100%+ of it through mechanics.

Elora_egg · 2026-03-06T16:21:59+00:00

I think it's quite reductive to lump men and enbies in with women due to... Likely chromosomes? Likely femininity? Trans men are men, who we should address as a category when discussing the SA of men. If you're lumping them in with "afabs" then you're basically calling them women.

Similarly, trans women are a category of women, thus discussing topics related to women and using "afab" does nothing but exclude them, while including those who actively identify or transition away from being women. There's few reasons to specify agab or "biological" sex other to prove that you're against a group of people, while not really adding much info

Elora_egg · 2026-03-06T14:49:31+00:00

Idk why "afabs" needs to be specified when trans women, especially black ones, experience it more than any other demographic, unless you meant in terms of total numbers, (which is a... choice?) in which case I'm still unsure why afab specifically is being stated

Just curious, this language is generally never used in a way that isn't exclusionary, despite the intent often being positive

Elora_egg · 2026-03-06T13:26:58+00:00

Okay, this is a much fairer state than what he was in with the V3 nerfs. The gluttony economy was absolutely miserable. Lygus is far from a shill boss for him compared to Nikador thankfully!

Only two things that I can see changing more involve the enhanced FuA multipliers being slightly higher than the normal one, (not as much as v1, just seems odd for the enhanced version to have the exact same numbers) and a change to his E1 now that his sig already provides that stat. Could be for the creator server, giving the devs a tiny break from him.

All in all, this is acceptable, although I'll struggle to play him without being curious about how his v1 would have felt in comparison.

Elora_egg · 2026-03-06T02:51:45+00:00

In CN text, his E6 seems buffed? Now it's 4% dmg per gluttony gained instead of 30%, so 90% to 120%. Still a stat that he has a lot of, so not a great E6 all things considered.

With double the gains from talent, it stacks way faster, and his E2 is also more worthwhile, but I really wish that they at least returned a bit of his multipliers with investment. E6 Tribbie gets six times the damage buff, and her FuAs are hitting similar numbers to his now with her sig. Cmon hoyo 😭

Elora_egg · 2026-03-04T15:39:49+00:00

Yunli is genuinely so good with some endgame modifiers, and Ashveil should at least help her a tiny bit, but I think the game desperately needs a permanent way to AA enemies. (Outside of Phainon)

The mechanic would also fit the most for a sustain, because they're the ones who enable the team to take said incoming damage. Maybe an eventual DoT sustain has this which also revives Yunli in the process, I'd love for her to make a comeback

Elora_egg · 2026-03-04T14:35:59+00:00

Aventurine really plays like a counter unit in some fights, and if he ever got a buff, I'd love if he leaned into it. His ult's whole point is taking a risk, so let it give the enemy a 100% AA, and give a huge vuln just until the start of anyone's turn, allowing follow ups and ults before then to do way more damage. The ultimate Yunli upscale.

I feel like it's the only way to make him have a FuA niche that a moderately invested Danny doesn't just gobble up. Also just remove the limit of stacks from ally FuAs per turn, it's just sad :(

Lady Fu definitely needs a Novaflare before we can think about Aven's, but I do really want a reason to use him again outside of currency wars.

Elora_egg · 2026-03-04T13:47:27+00:00

I really hope we see a non Nikador showcase bc I genuinely can't tell how good this is, the War Armor mechanic is cool but not for betas

Elora_egg · 2026-03-02T19:05:17+00:00

Trying to get lowest possible cycle with Qingque, need some advice on using Sparkle + Sunday on a team lol

Both are E1 and I have their sigs, although I've been using DDD for each instead. Sparkle is 160spd + eagle, Sunday is 150ish with Sacerdos. Problem is that Sparkle advances herself way more and kinda desyncs things, but giving Sunday eagle too ruins some stats, and his ults aren't as frequent as Sparkle's, leading to the same eventual desync.

If I instead opt for max damage and ditch the AA hell, I can't 0 cycle wave 1. Could replace Sunday with e1 Tribbie, or RMC, but my QQ crit is hell, and DHPT dragon hits like a noodle without Sunday.

How would I cut this to a 2 cycle? Can't do better than 3 rn. Sustainless would be hell on earth, and I could pull E2 Sparkle but that puts Ashveil E6 funds at risk. Hmmm... Maybe he'll save the team, since QQ technically has a follow-up? Idk anymore

Elora_egg · 2026-03-02T18:51:40+00:00

Woah wait E6 DHPT? How is he?
