|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pearl | 5 | Ice | Elation | NEW |
| Evanescia | 5 | Physical | Elation | RERUN |

⚡ Pearl — New 5★ Ice Elation
Pearl is the main addition in Version 4.6 and the only new playable character confirmed for the patch.
She is an IPC Ten Stonehearts member and CEO of Planarcadia. Her kit centers on Certified Banger: her Talent consumes it to block ally damage, her Skill grants allies extra Elation DMG that scales with the number of Elation teammates, and her Ultimate designates an ally as the “Aesthetic Archetype” and advances their action. Enhanced Basic ATKs in Deep Learning heal and cleanse the team, and her Technique generates Certified Banger.
Kit details are derived from the official Special Program via secondary coverage and may change with final patch notes.
Pearl Build Overview
Build note: Verified relic, light cone, and team recommendations for Pearl are not yet available from our sources as of September 22, 2026.
