My Pearl's kit idea (based on leaks)
Heyo, I know quite a few people have or are still making posts about Pearl's kit but I still want to share my own "idea" (based on leaks), so let's start! ^^
-First, as both SW and Madame Yao (and leaked Nihihihihilux) are SPD scalers, she's also going to be one, just with a low ID participant.
-Her LC will give the usual +18% SPD plus some vulnerability or smt in order to be useful to other teams as well (like another SPD buff or an SP recovery, since Nihilux should be a ¥π$™¥}$×).
-Her skill applies a shield to all allies, increases their SPD by x% and when they attack they generate "something" (stacks, points of charge, ect.) for her to accumulate. It was said that she had an enchanced Basic Atk., which to me could mean that she needs or fits well in teams with high attack frequency because they can generate "stacks" (or wtv) for her to get her EBA; EBA that will be mentioned in her talent.
-In my ideal imaginarium she is actually a better, bigger, and Really, useful, EMC. Her Ult designates one ally target at choice, gives them buffs and allow them to use their Elation Skill for free (as mentioned by the leaks).
-Her ES to me just deals damage and maybe generates either Punchlines or CB in order to support better other Elation units; could as well give shield to the team but the comparison that I keep making in my head is with Hyacine, whom does not heal directly outside of her own turn. If Hyacinthia heals with both her Skill and Ult, then Pearl could shield with her Skill And EBA (why not?, fair enough).
-A2: Sets/increases her own Crit Rate by 100% (or so, like Hyacine and Creydra). And maybe increases the dmg dealt by her EBA by x% or smt.
-A4: Increases both her Shield Strength and Elation by x% of her total SPD.
-A6: Allow her Skill and ES or EBA to dispel 1 or more debuffs from an ally + smt (I would really like something realted to her own energy, like starting at 50/75% already and being able to get the rest that is needed with her first Skill usage like Hyacine; this way SW could use her non enchanted ES to get big amount of Punchlines and get into Burst form sooner).
NOTE: Giving that SW LV.999's global passive dispels all debuffs from one ally target or more when they get cancer, Pearl doesn't actually make use, for her main, intended team, of a debuff remove. ST abilities are basically made for her, especially when you consider that (excluding a Nihilux type surprise) all Elation units are more hypercarry or still, focused on the dmg dealt by one character than the whole team, contrary to Monorem.
-I'm not gonna cover her Eidolons since they're always quite hard to predict compared to the rest.
Lastly, I wanna point out a few things.
First, her build: since she's going to be a shielder and not a healer, no free SPD from her relics, unlike Hyacine, which is very strange for a SPD scaler. I guess one of the two new 4.6 relic sets will be tailored made for her and Nihilux like it was for Evernight and Cyrene. Her signature LC gives her SPD, which she really needs... but if we exclude Madame Yao's LC, then there's nothing she can use! Yay! (This is because she is part of another limited-premium team). What, her planars? Never heard of that thing before... *¹
Second, her... like... her: We know there had to be two sustains and that she was located in 4.1 originally, Reca in 4.8 was the other and yada yada yada. Due to her now being a sustain for more than one team, more specifically Monomeme and FUA, will she get balanced around the idea that Aventurine and Ashveil or Eva. could break her machanics- or wI'll she just be straight out broken because a sustain, Hoyo favourite, part of this year's PREMIUM team, ect.
Third and last, her role (or so): the idea of being an EMC Pro MAX is just ideal, it fits her perfectly and not only I won't change my mind on it but I'll say that that's just what it's going to be. Aventurine can advance his Aha instant, deal dmg and whatever else; Eva generates CB (maybe even more than usual) and also gets energy for Mr. Fox. Last one, SW SP; if Nihilux has a Cyrene like Ult, either stack or Punchlines based, ulting with Pearl on SW is just ideal for the team rotation. Ult on SW→ generate Punchlines for her→ helping Nihilux get her Ult sooner 'cause/ via one of the two methods mentioned prior.
Overall, as someone who wasn't that interested in her, well... I'm so excited for the beta. Any and every premise to her role, kit and what else you want to add is just intriguing and feels already strong and practical for many teams. Definitely but mostly hopefully, the best sustain in the game at this point and for some time to come (right Lingsha Novaflare?).
*¹) I put this at the end just 'cause why not, and also because it's very quick but complex at the same time. Maybe Pearl'll want ER rope but is there any set that actually does something useful for the Elation teams (including Aventurine)? Lushaka is decent but not great for both Sparxie and Evanescia but the other characters just couldn't give a fudge less about all of the +5% ER sets... like, sis?? So either Pearl is going to stick to something like Vonwacq/Lushaka or Punklorde for the most part poor... maybe she's going to use the same set as lady Nihilux, I don't know at this point without other informations.
What do y'all think? 'Cause you read all right? Right?
