Potential Elation Sustain

I've been thinking for a while about the potential Elation sustain.

I know that a lot of people have been saying that the Elation sustain will bring the team to a new level, just like Hyacine with Rem. But the reason why Rem was so uplifted by a good sustain is due to the Rem mechanics being very reliant on HP. The other sustains have not significantly changed the damage, even DHPT who is the second best sustain is not really changing the damage in his best in slot teams. Don't get me wrong, he does provide good buffs and all, but mostly, he is there for sustaining.

When there's no problem in sustaining, you would use another support instead, right? The Elation sustain might help with punchline/CB generation + offer a few buffs, but I still feel like they might not provide the same value as Hyacine to Rem team. Although, considering how much value the current sustains are providing to Elation, they probably will be much better.

Anyway, what I was trying to say, is that, the sustains who changed the meta Hyacine and Aventurine (DHPT kinda, but not really). One was a necessary teammate (Hyacine), while the other one had just brought so much shields/sustainability that it wasn't even close.

Other teams do not heavily rely on the sustain either, (Break, FUA, Phainon, Archer, ect.) It is only the HP scalers due to their mechanics. So, I honestly do not know if the upgrade of the Elation will be as people expect it to be (There will be, but not anywhere close to Hyacine level.
