Strengths
- Ultimate “Swordsong: Absolution Denied” Deals Physical DMG equal to 200% of Evanescia's ATK to all enemy targets—level this before polishing filler traces.
- “Discipline: Final Verdict” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Youth: Halcyon Evermore” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- Technique “Petalfall: Floral Reminiscence” opens by hitting the pack on pull-in—use it before every MoC wave, not only in the overworld.
Weaknesses
- “Youth: Halcyon Evermore” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Evanescia below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- E0 without “Until the Flowers Bloom Again” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Elation carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- Spamming “Discipline: Final Verdict” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Evanescia is often the SP sink.
- If “Swordsong: Absolution Denied” is still offline at the end of a MoC cycle, the build is usually Energy/ERR or rotation order—not a missing CRIT roll.
Trace Priority
Swordsong: Absolution Denied carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Discipline: Final Verdict supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Youth: Halcyon Evermore supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Syllabus: Pop Quiz is last priority outside of filling trace materials.
Stat Priority
Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.
Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.
Light Cones
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 0.6% and Energy Regeneration Rate by #4[f1]%. When the wearer's Max Energy is greater than 120, for every 10 points of Max Energy that exceeds this amount, further increases Energy Regeneration Rate by #6[f1]%. Up to a maximum of 360 points of excess Max Energy can be taken into account. When the wearer uses Elation Skill, increases the DMG received by all enemies by #2[f1]% for 2 turn(s). Effects of the same type cannot stack.
Why it works —Signature / best-in-slot when owned—passive lines up with Evanescia’s kit triggers.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's ATK by 0.2%. After the wearer uses Skill or Ultimate on one ally character, increases the target's Elation stat by 0.12% for 2 turn(s).

4★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 0.12%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation by 0.12%, stacking up to 2 times.
Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.

Relics
Team Compositions
Primary Elation / Punchline team for Evanescia. Yao Guang, Sparkle, Huohuo are the partners the kit / endgame clears assume first.
Core carry for this shell — owns the damage plan and sets the rotation pace.
Yao Guang is the damage seat in this shell — build the supports around their rotation, not the reverse.
Sparkle is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
Huohuo covers healing (and often Energy / cleanse) so the carry can stay on-curve.
