Trailblazer (Elation · Stelle)

Lightning Elation support and attacker

Released Apr 22, 2026

Trailblazer (Elation · Stelle) combines an all-enemy attack with Certified Banger, then uses her Ultimate to boost an ally’s CRIT DMG and either trigger that ally’s Elation Skill or advance their action. Consider her when you can make use of Elation Skill follow-ups, team Elation, or her targeted Crowd Control cleanse.

Trailblazer (Elation · Stelle) GUIDE

Understand Trailblazer (Elation · Stelle)

Useful when…

  • Supporting an ally with an Elation Skill: the Ultimate grants them Certified Banger and immediately triggers that skill.
  • Giving one ally a 3-turn CRIT DMG increase and removing their Crowd Control debuffs; if they lack an Elation Skill, the Ultimate advances their action instead.
  • Dealing Lightning damage across enemies with her Skill, and using her Technique for a random team Elation increase at the start of the next battle.

What her abilities do

Her Basic ATK deals Lightning damage to one enemy based on her ATK. Her Skill deals Lightning damage to all enemies and grants 20 Certified Banger. When she holds Certified Banger, her Skill also deals Lightning Elation damage to all enemies; that damage uses the highest Certified Banger value held by any ally. Her Talent also restores 10 Energy and grants 3 Punchline after she uses an attack. The Ultimate grants 5 Punchline, raises one ally’s CRIT DMG by 30% for 3 turns, and dispels Crowd Control debuffs on them. If that ally has an Elation Skill, they gain 10 Certified Banger and immediately use the skill once, accounting for a fixed 20 Punchline. If they do not have an Elation Skill, their action advances by 50%.

Using Elation Skill and Technique

Her own Elation Skill deals 8 instances of Lightning Elation damage, each aimed at a random enemy, followed by Lightning Elation damage split evenly among all enemies. The random targeting means the individual hits are not directed at a chosen target. Before a battle, her Technique randomly grants one of two team Elation increases for the next battle: 10% with a low chance or 20% with a high chance, lasting 3 turns. Use it when you want that opening-battle benefit, while accounting for its random strength.

Investment priorities and tradeoffs

For her support function, prioritize the Ultimate: it contains the ally CRIT DMG increase, Crowd Control dispel, and conditional Elation Skill trigger or action advance. The Talent contributes Energy recovery and Punchline after attacks, while the Skill provides team-wide damage and Certified Banger; their value depends on how often you attack and whether the extra Elation damage matters to your team. Her Elation Skill is a separate damage track. Basic ATK is single-target and described as minor damage, so it is a lower priority if you mainly use her to support an ally. Promotion and traces have separate costs; the listed promotion examples include Enigmatic Ectostella, while skill and bonus trace examples use their own materials. Her bonus traces include ATK and CRIT boosts, but consider their cost against the core Ultimate and Talent functions. These priorities are conditional on how you use her, not a universal damage ranking.

Practical limits and progression caution

The Ultimate targets one ally, so its cleanse and CRIT DMG benefit do not cover the whole team. Its immediate Elation Skill use requires the selected ally to have that skill; otherwise it advances their action instead. The extra damage on her Skill also requires Trailblazer to hold Certified Banger. Her Technique’s stronger Elation increase is random, so do not plan around always receiving it. Stelle and Caelus are alternate Elation Trailblazer forms; treat their trace families as alternate kits and do not pay for both sets of duplicate traces. Gilgamesh and Aglaea share Thunder and 5-star classification but have different listed Paths, Destruction and Remembrance respectively; those labels alone do not establish equivalent support or replacement roles.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Her targeted support is concentrated on one ally, while her Skill attacks all enemies.
  • The Elation Skill trigger depends on the chosen ally having an Elation Skill; otherwise the Ultimate provides action advance.
  • Her Technique provides team Elation for the next battle, but its magnitude is random.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting the Ultimate to trigger an Elation Skill for an ally who does not have one; that target receives action advance instead.
  • Treating the Skill’s extra Elation damage as unconditional; Trailblazer must hold Certified Banger.
  • Assuming the Technique always grants the stronger Elation increase; the result is random.
  • Investing in both Stelle and Caelus duplicate alternate Elation trace families.
