Light Cone
Colors for TomorrowColors for Tomorrow strengthens DEF-based healing and adds team amplification, healing and a fixed Energy refund when Pearl uses her Elation Skill.
When to use it : At S1, the Elation Skill applies 22% enemy DMG vulnerability for three turns, restores 10 fixed Energy and heals all allies for 10% of Pearl's DEF.
Mushy Shroomy's AdventuresMushy Shroomy's Adventures supplies Elation and an enemy Elation-DMG vulnerability after Pearl's Elation Skill. It supports the whole archetype without requiring personal CRIT investment.
A permanent four-star shop option, with superimpositions obtainable without a limited signature or Battle Pass.
When to use it : Keep the two-turn vulnerability active through Aha Instant; several allies can hold this cone, unlike effects explicitly restricted to one holder.
When She Decided to SeeWhen She Decided to See combines SPD, Energy Regeneration Rate and team CRIT buffs, making it useful when a faster support build matters more than the signature's extra healing.
When to use it : Use an already-owned copy without depriving Yao Guang of her signature. Pearl's ally-targeted Ultimate refreshes Great Fortune; account for its three-turn duration.
Until the Flowers Bloom AgainUntil the Flowers Bloom Again improves Energy Regeneration Rate and applies enemy vulnerability through the Elation Skill. These support effects matter more here than its personal CRIT DMG.
When to use it : Use an available spare: Pearl's 180 Max Energy gives 11.8% Energy Regeneration Rate at S1. Its enemy vulnerability does not stack with another copy's identical effect.
Relics
Dreamlit Actor gives Pearl 6% SPD and lets her Ultimate buff the selected ally's Elation by 16% for three turns.
When to use it : Cast Ultimate with at least 10 Certified Banger to also grant all allies 12% CRIT DMG for three turns. Pearl's party-wide healing Skill does not meet the single-other-ally targeting condition.
Eagle of Twilight Line advances Pearl by 25% after her Ultimate, giving more opportunities to heal, cleanse and generate Skill Points.
When to use it : Choose it for a rotation with frequent Ultimates and a predictable Elation Archetype Energy refund. Its Wind-DMG two-piece bonus contributes no useful scaling to this Ice support.
Two-piece Sacerdos and Diviner each give 6% SPD. A strong mixed set can reach the speed target while keeping useful DEF substats.
When to use it : Use as a farming fallback when a complete Dreamlit Actor set has worse stats; this combination supplies no four-piece team buff.
Planar Ornaments
Sprightly Vonwacq adds 5% Energy Regeneration Rate and brings Pearl's opening turn forward, fitting this fast sustain setup.
When to use it : Reach at least 120 SPD for the 40% opening action advance. This is an opening and Energy choice; it does not advance every subsequent turn.
Broken Keel trades Vonwacq's opening advance and Energy bonus for Effect RES and a teamwide 10% CRIT DMG buff.
When to use it : The team buff requires 30% Effect RES. Sensory Latitude supplies 50% while Pearl holds Certified Banger, so it activates the condition without additional Effect RES rolls while that resource remains.
Team lineup
Silver Wolf LV.999 and Aventurine • Waveflair provide damage, Yao Guang supports Aha Instant, and Pearl fills the sustain slot while keeping all four characters on Elation.
When to use it : Four Elation characters unlock Pearl's extra turn in addition to 30% action advance. Choose the Ultimate target by the current damage window; avoid wasting Silver Wolf's enhanced state. Waveflair's single-Elation follow-up conversion is inactive in this team.
Evanescia, Elation Trailblazer and Yao Guang form another full-Elation core with Pearl as its healer and action support.
When to use it : Coordinate the selected ally's next Ultimate with Pearl's Energy needs. Dropping any member for a non-Elation support removes her four-Elation extra turn, even though her healing and cleanse still work.

- Talent
Certified Banger fuels damage absorption. Deep Learning turns her Basic ATK into a healing action, while her Ultimate selects an Aesthetic Archetype whose offensive stats scale its additional Ice Elation damage. Unlock Aesthetic Firewall and Sensory Latitude first, then Panoptic Vision.
How to play it
- 1Use Technique, then switch to the intended ally before entering battle. Pearl starts with 20 Certified Banger and Deep Learning with two enhanced Basic charges on that ally.
- 2Use Ultimate on the ally whose next action most benefits the team. It grants Deep Learning with three charges; at four Elation characters, the target gets 30% action advance and one extra turn with temporary 30 Certified Banger and 60 Punchline.
- 3Use enhanced Basic ATKs for team healing, one Skill Point and 30 Energy. Sensory Latitude also removes one debuff from every ally. Use Skill when stronger healing or 15 additional Certified Banger is needed.
- 4After entering combat or using Pearl's Ultimate, the selected Elation Archetype's next Ultimate restores a fixed 90 Energy to Pearl once. This refund cannot stack and is not multiplied by Energy Regeneration Rate.
- 5Her Elation Skill activates during Aha Instant and adds damage to each ally's next attack. Maintain the selected cone's vulnerability and refresh Deep Learning before the enhanced Basics run out; adjust the cycle to healing needs and ally Ultimate timing.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The released Prydwen 4.6 analysis and HSR Build's kit-based equipment analysis were checked against the immutable local 4.6 snapshot. HSR Build still labels its page as unreleased and explicitly does not claim playtested rankings; it is a secondary cross-check. The fast opening setup uses Vonwacq, with Broken Keel as the team-CRIT alternative. Dreamlit Actor's released team CRIT DMG bonus is 12%, correcting the 16% mentioned in Prydwen's commentary. Rotation is derived from the E0 kit, separating technique's two charges from Ultimate's three, the four-Elation extra turn, the conditional fixed 90-Energy refund and the party cleanse. No simulated damage ranking is claimed.

Independent E0 guide for Version 4.6. A two-action Ultimate cycle depends on the selected ally's Ultimate and available Energy sources; it is not guaranteed. E1's lethal-damage rescue and E2's additional ally advances are excluded.
