Pearl heals and buffs Elation off her DEF, so the team runs two Elation attackers to spend what she grants and an Elation debuffer whose hacks give them something to hit.

Elation runs on Punchline the whole team feeds, so a second Elation character is worth more here than a stronger buff from another Path.
