Is Pearl Worth Pulling?
Pearl is an Elation Sustain who can provide healing and use Cerified Banger for damage reduction. She can also use her Elation Skill to increase the party's Elation damage.
Pearl synergizes well with other Elation units, and her entire kit gets stronger the more Elation units there are in the party.
If your account has a full Elation team, particularly Yao Guang and an Elation Main DPS like Silver Wolf Lv 999, Evanescia or Waveflair - Aventurine, we recommend pulling for Pearl.
Should You Pull for Pearl's Light Cone?
Pearl's Light Cone, Colors for Tomorrow, increases her DEF and increases the damage taken by enemies after she uses her Elation Skill on an ally. Colors for Tomorrow also provides some bonus energy restoration and healing.
Pearl can benefit a lot from using her own Light Cone. If you plan on saving for other units, Mushy Shroomy’s Adventures should be more than enough for Pearl to use.

As an Elation unit, Pearl's best Relic set is Dreamlit Actor since it increases her SPD and she can use her Skill or Ultimate on an ally to increase their Elation and CRIT DMG.
Pearl's best Planar Ornament is Sprightly Vonwacq, since it provides Energy Regen and advances her first turn in combat.
Recommended Stat Values
| Stat | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| SPD | 160 SPD or higher |
| DEF | 3500 or higher |
| Effect RES | 50% (Before Combat) |
Your first priority is to get Pearl's SPD to at around 160 SPD for more turns in the first cycle. For Pearl's DEF, you can go as high as possible, but try to reach at least 3500 DEF for optimal healing and Elation increase.
While not as necessary as the previous stats, Effect RES is great to have since it can help Pearl resist crowd-control debuffs. Try getting at least 50% Effect RES before combat, since you can get a total of 100% when combined with the Effect RES from Pearl's Sensory Latitude Bonus Ability.

Pearl

 Silver Wolf Lv.999
|
 Trailblazer (Lightning)
|
 Asta
|
This is an example of Pearl's F2P team.
Pearl is an Elation Sustain who wants as many Elation characters in her team as possible. Elation Trailblazer and an Elation DPS like Silver Wolf Lv.999 are a must if you want to make the most out of Pearl's kit.
Asta can be used to buff everyone's SPD since most Elation units benefit from it.

These are different variations of Pearl's best teams.
Pearl works best in an all-Elation team. This is because the Elation DMG buff from Pearl's Elation Skill becomes stronger the more Elation units there are on the team.
Any Elation DPS will benefit from Pearl's kit. Elation Trailblazer and Yao Guang can also benefit from the Elation DMG buff. Sparxie can be swapped in for the Trailblazer in a team with Silver Wolf Lv.999.
