Overview
Trailblazer (Elation) is a strong free Elation support / Punchline battery who generates resources, feeds Certified Banger, and can force a teammate to immediately use their Elation Skill. They are especially useful when you don't have premium Elation supports like Yao Guang.
Role
Elation Support / Punchline Generator
Playstyle
Build Trailblazer fast and attack frequently to generate 3 Punchline + 10 fixed Energy per attack. Use Skill when SP allows to maintain Certified Banger, then Ultimate your main Elation carry to immediately trigger their Elation Skill.
Why It Works
Every attack naturally accelerates Aha while also charging Trailblazer's expensive Ultimate. The Ultimate then gives the chosen carry CRIT DMG, Certified Banger, and a free Elation Skill using a fixed 20 Punchline, creating an additional burst without consuming your stored Punchline.
Watch For
Their Ultimate costs 160 Energy, so SPD and Energy regeneration are extremely important. Skill can also become SP-hungry, so don't spam it if characters like Sparxie or Silver Wolf LV.999 need those resources more.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Attack → generate Punchline + Energy → Skill / gain Certified Banger → build Ultimate → Ultimate carry → free Elation Skill → continue generating Punchline → repeat.
Key Notes
Aim for 2200 ATK to maximize the A2 Elation conversion, 160+ SPD, and roughly 80–100% CRIT Rate. Use SPD Boots + ERR Rope.
That forced Elation Skill uses a fixed 20 Punchline without consuming your actual Punchline.
Their Skill's Elation damage uses the highest Certified Banger value on the team.
Build & Investment
Light Cones
Primary
When She Decided to See
Adds SPD and fixed Energy each wave. Entry and an ally-targeting Ultimate enable team CRIT buffs and the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate for three turns.
Relics
Primary
Diviner of Distant Reach
Adds SPD and pre-battle SPD-based CRIT Rate; the first Elation Skill enables a team Elation bonus that does not stack with another copy.
Planars
Situational
Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding
A 6% SPD option for reaching the chosen speed target. This character has no native healing, so the set's outgoing-healing tiers do not improve their support kit.

Eidolon Investment
The obtainable Eidolons improve the same support loop: E1 stacks extra Certified Banger for the next Ultimate, E2 adds target Elation, and E4 adds enemy vulnerability after Elation Skill. E6 mainly boosts Trailblazer's personal CRIT damage.
When She Decided to See is a borrowed support cone. Its SPD and Energy effects help Ultimate access, and the ally-targeted Ultimate refreshes Great Fortune's team CRIT buffs; it is not required to unlock the forced Elation Skill.
E1
Each Skill adds two Certified Banger to the next Ultimate's grant, stacking three times.
E2
Ultimate grants the selected ally12% Elation for two turns.
E4
Elation Skill increases enemy damage taken by 10% for two turns.
E6
Elation Skill grants 100% personal CRIT DMG for three turns.
