E6The Past in Fast LaneE1Significantly boost his damage and attack frequency. Allows Aventurine to use his Elation Skill up to two more times per Aha Instant, leading to more attacks to fuel his Follow-up ATK teams, while he also gets a 24% All-Type RES PEN. However, this Eidolon's value depends on his teammate option and whether they can launch attacks frequently enough to consistently reach 3 Elation Skills.
E2Another powerful early Eidolon, increases his Fervor cap and generation, up to a maximum of 50 Fervor. This allows for yet another 2 Elation Skills per rotation, and causes his Enhanced Elation Skill to deal up to 50 bounce instances. Similarly, the value depends on obtaining enough Fervor to launch these extra Elation Skills.
E4Surprisingly useful Eidolon 4, enabling all allies to ignore an additional 18% DEF when dealing damage. While he can slightly overcap on DEF Reduction/Ignore in his premium Follow-up ATK teams, the buff being extended to his other teammates makes this a notable team damage increase.
E6Yet another game-changing Eidolon with a unique merrymake 1.25x damage multiplier, and enhances all his Elation Skills after the first 2 to deal bounce damage based on the current Fervor without consuming the stacks.
Waveflair banks "Fervor" every time a teammate attacks and spends it on an all-enemy Elation Skill, so the team wants a second Elation unit feeding the counter, a Harmony buffer that adds actions, and a sustain that attacks on its own turn.
