How Aeon ★ Aha plays
Skill marks one ally for the whole fight, granting +20% Elation and Wishpower when they act. Ultimate at 8 Wishpower applies Faces of Elation, ascends ally Elation mechanics, and deals Quantum AoE. Build SPD and CRIT Rate, then farm Dreamlit Actor and Upon the First Echo of "Aha." On this roster she slots ahead of Pearl and Aventurine • Waveflair in the new Aha Elation team.
- Technique for Misjudgment stealth and opening Punchline
- Signature cone before eidolons on most accounts
- She is a support — keep Pearl or Huohuo for sustain
What to pull before November 11
Version 4.6 Phase 2 is the Mortenax Blade rerun window through maintenance. Pearl remains the version sustain if you skipped Phase 1. Save Jade for Aha if Elation is your goal. The Affinitive Eidolon login reward is a separate decision — pick the unit you already use in MoC or Pure Fiction.
