2026-04-07
Attention, Trailblazers!
In Version 4.2, the protagonist unlocks a powerful new form: the Elation Trailblazer. We’re breaking down everything you need to know about their new kit, gameplay and signature light cone to help you master the Path of Elation.
Elation Trailblazer Overview
As a Lightning support, the Elation Trailblazer aids the team in stacking Punchline, raising Elation damage output, and keeping vital allies in active play. Their skill set focuses on applying Certified Banger, granting a selected ally CRIT DMG boosts and debuff cleansing, and either triggering that ally’s Elation Skill or advancing their turn if they follow a different Path. While they can deal extra AoE damage on their own, their core role is to shape the team’s combat rhythm and make Elation‑centric teams deal greater damage as battles continue.
