Honkai: Star Rail Elation Trailblazer Build Guide: Kit explained

Elation Trailblazer is a support character who enhances Elation teams. He builds up ‘Punchline’ for his allies, which boosts their damage and gives them a critical hit damage bonus after he uses his Skill.

This character offers an extra use of their special ability or a boost to their next action, depending on which team they’re paired with. Below is a breakdown of everything they can do, including their basic skills, special techniques, ultimate move, talents, unique ability, and always-active skills.

Skill

The Trailblazer attacks all enemies, dealing damage equal to 30% of their Attack power. They also gain 20 Certified Banger points.

Ultimate

Okay, so when I use Trailblazer’s Ultimate, it’s amazing! Not only does he get 5 Punchline points, but one of my other characters gets a huge 30% boost to their CRIT DMG for three turns. Plus, it wipes away any annoying Crowd Control effects from the whole team! And here’s the best part: if the enemy has the Elation Skill, Trailblazer gets a massive 10 Certified Banger points, immediately uses his own Elation Skill, and gets another 20 Punchline points! It’s a game changer!

But if the target does not possess an Elation Skill, the Trailblazer action advances by 50%.

Talent

After each attack, Trailblazer recovers 10 Energy and earns 3 Punchline points. If Trailblazer has the Certified Banger ability, their Skill will also deal 15% of their Lightning Elation damage to all enemies.

Elation Skill

This attack hits a single enemy 8 times, dealing Lightning damage equal to 10% of the total damage with each hit. It also deals 30% of the total Lightning damage to all enemies.

Technique

Using this technique could slightly boost Elation by 30%, but it’s much more likely to increase it by 20% over the next three turns.

Passive Skills

  • Aha, Sic ‘Em!: After a team member uses an Elation Skill, Trailblazer additionally gains 2 points of Certified Banger the next time they use their Skill.
  • Screw It, We Ball: Increases Trailblazer CRIT Rate by 15%. Furthermore, after using an Ultimate, they recover 1 Skill Point.
  • On Cloud Nine: After Trailblazer exceeds 1000 ATK for every 200 ATK it has, it increases their Elation by 10%, up to 60%. For getting 60% Elation, we need 2200 ATK.

Elation Brimming With Blessings (5*) Increases the wearer’s ATK by 20%. After the wearer uses Skill or Ultimate on one ally character, increases the target’s Elation stat by 12% for 2 turns.

Traiblazer Elation stat depends on ATK, so the 20% ATK buff is great for them. This light cone also buffs allies.
When She Decided to See (5*) Increases the wearer’s SPD by 18%. When the wearer enters combat or uses Ultimate on an ally target, the wearer gains “Great Fortune” for 3 turns.

While the wearer has “Great Fortune,” all allies’ CRIT Rate increases by 10%, CRIT DMG increases by 30%, and the wearer’s Energy Regeneration Rate increases by 12%.

At the start of each wave, the wearer regenerates a fixed amount of 15 Energy.

It’s Yao Guang’s signature weapon, but it’s a very good alternative for Trailblazer. Provides a buff for the whole team and also increases the wearer’s damage.
Mushy Shroomy’s Adventures (4*) Increases the wearer’s Elation by 12%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation DMG taken by all enemies by 6% for 2 turns.

This is Traiblazer’s best 4-star light that increases their damage and also reduces enemies’ Elation resistance for 2 turns.
Tomorrow, Together (4*) Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 12%. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, increase the Elation of all allies by 8% for 1 turn.

Another good 4* alternative light cone for Trailblazer, which increases their damage, and after using Ultimate, all allies’ Elation increases by 8%.

Best Team Comps for Elation Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail

Elation Trailblazer is a character who helps support their team, offering benefits focused on Elation. As the game develops, Trailblazer will become useful in more different team combinations.

Sparxie/ Yao Guang/ Elation Trailblazer/ Dan Heng Permansor Terrae

Sparxie is the primary damage dealer for this team. Yao Guang supports the team by boosting damage with her Zone, building up ‘Punchlines’ through her attacks, and unleashing a powerful ‘Aha Instant’ with her Ultimate skill. She also provides extra damage through follow-up attacks.

Elation Trailblazer builds up a special attack boost (Punchline), increases critical damage, unlocks a unique skill (Elation Skill), and generally boosts Elation-based damage within the team. Dan Heng will contribute damage with his ultimate ability and also provide a protective shield for everyone.

Silver Wolf Lv. 999/ Elation Trailblazer/ Yao Guang/ Huohuo

Silver Wolf is the team’s primary damage dealer and can also boost her own stats. Yao Guang and the Trailblazer fulfill similar roles here. Huohuo keeps everyone healthy while also providing crucial energy and attack boosts that benefit the entire team.
