Video Summary
Elation MC is a high-spd Lightning Trailblazer with strong energy generation and an ult that grants 54% crit DMG to a chosen ally, dispels CC, and triggers that ally’s Elation Skill if applicable.
All Eidolons are free and add useful utilities: extra Certified Banger on ult (E1), temporary Elation amp (E2), Vulnerability on Elation Skills (E4), and 100% crit DMG on Elation Skill (E6).
Best relic is Eagle for maximizing actions and ult frequency; alternates include SPD-focused combos, Diviner, and Hackerspace for supportive roles.
Primary stat priority is SPD first (targets like ~160–167 with Eagle), then survivability or crit depending on role.
Light cone options: Herta Shop cone (4.1) for single-target Elation conversion and Mushy Shroomy for multi-DPS teams.
Their ult gives a 3-turn 54% crit DMG buff to a chosen ally, dispels crowd control on the target, and if the target is an Elation unit it grants 10 Certified Banger and immediately forces that unit to use their Elation Skill.
Their talent grants fixed energy on each attack (10 energy per attack) and each attack counts as 3 Punchline for allies; this energy is a flat amount and does not scale with Energy Regeneration Rate.
Eagle is recommended to maximize action count and ult frequency; alternatives include SPD-focused combos for faster support or Diviner/Hackerspace for different utility profiles.
Two primary choices: the Herta Shop cone from 4.1 (better single-target Elation conversion and a short Elation buff) or Mushy Shroomy (stronger for multi-DPS teams).
Sparxie, Silver Wolf (including Silver Wolf LVL 999 builds), and the upcoming Evanescia—Elation MC can duplicate Elation Skills to amplify Sparxie's huge skill multiplier, force Wolf's Elation interactions, and pair well with Evanescia's energy/banger synergy.
"This time we have Elation MC, a return to the Harmony MC-esque kit design that benefits their archetype in a unique and interesting way."
The Elation MC showcases a fresh design that echoes elements of the Harmony MC but is not as dominant in the meta.
Their animations are described as timeless, implying aesthetic appeal.
"This Lightning MC form boasts a high base SPD as well as a decently high energy cost."
Elation MC features a high base Speed (SPD) and a considerable energy requirement, which can be managed with Elation Skills and innate Energy gain boosts.
This allows them to frequently utilize their ultimate ability, reinforcing their role as a support-oriented unit.
"Their Skill is an AoE attack that interestingly gives 20 points of Certified Banger to themselves."
The Elation MC's Skill is an Area of Effect (AoE) attack that grants them a unique buff, termed Certified Banger, instead of providing Punchline like other characters.
This creates a sustained advantage in battles, facilitating the MC's efficiency.
"Their ult is the true sauce of the kit, providing a 54% CRIT DMG buff to a designated ally."
The ultimate ability offers a substantial Critical Damage boost to allies, while also dispelling any Crowd Control effects, enhancing team survivability.
Additionally, if the target has an Elation Skill, they instantly receive a secondary benefit, reminiscent of Yaoguang's ultimate.
"Just like Harmony MC, we get free Energy in a big way."
Elation MC generates Energy with every attack, providing vital support to the team's overall effectiveness.
They also possess a passive skill that incentivizes higher scaling damage with their abilities, though damage output remains moderate.
"E1 gives more Certified Banger on the Ult, but you must use Skills on Elation MC."
The Eidolon system offers significant advantages, such as increasing the Certified Banger received from ultimates by up to 16 points, enhancing overall effectiveness when utilized correctly.
However, the specific requirements for optimal use can affect how often these bonuses are activated in battle scenarios.
"Eagle is for the most amount of actions, allowing for more Ults in a fight."
For optimal performance, players are advised to equip the Eagle relic set, which maximizes action count and, consequently, the number of ultimates executed during fights.
Alternative builds, such as using SPD combos or supportive relics like Diviner and Hackerspace, offer flexibility based on team composition and strategy.
"First, focus on SPD, and then you can choose for survivability substats or CRIT substats depending on what you want to do with them."
The primary goal is to maximize Speed (SPD) for the Elation Trailblazer build. After achieving an adequate SPD, players can decide whether to enhance survivability or Critical Rate (CRIT) as secondary stats based on their strategic preferences.
Specific SPD breakpoints are recommended, including a classic target of 160 for well-rounded support and 167 with Eagle to enable two Ults and three actions in Cycle 0.
"They only have two options, and those are the Herta Shop cone released in 4.1 as well as the classic Mushy Shroomy cone."
For Light Cones, players currently have two options to choose from. The first is the Herta Shop cone, known for its enhancement of Elation conversion and a 2-turn 24% Elation buff on single-target ultimates.
The second option is the classic Mushy Shroomy cone, which, while beneficial, provides a stronger buff for multi-DPS teams.
"It's pretty self-explanatory, but I’ll talk about the direct synergies of the MC with our Elation carries."
The Elation Trailblazer's synergies with team members are crucial for optimized performance. While specific details on Evanescia are still pending due to her unreleased status, the roles of other team members, particularly Silver Wolf, have been discussed.
Silver Wolf has two different Elation Skill forms that her Enhanced Multi-Character (EMC) ability can duplicate, allowing for interesting optimizations in battle scenarios.
"Using it outside of the ult can help enter the God mode state, but Yaoguang will likely take this job from them instead."
To maximize damage output, players must utilize Silver Wolf's ultimate effectively while also managing her Hidden MMR. Achieving a balance between using skills outside of ultimates for increased damage and managing the turn order is vital.
There's a strategic trade-off to consider, as the MC's ability to buff can sometimes conflict with the timing of Silver Wolf's ultimate, which can lead to anti-synergies.
"Evanescia should be using them at least very well since she’s all about an Energy Certified Banger dual synergy."
Evanescia is projected to excel alongside the Elation Trailblazer characters due to her Energy Certified Banger dual synergy, making her a strong asset in any team composition.
Although Sparxie currently holds a prominent position as an Elation carry, there are indications that future characters, like Evanescia, might shift the dynamics and optimize team performance in different ways.
