i made an edit from clips i found, its my second edit, so im still new to edits but id love to hear honest thoughts about this (ignore the mouse in the center of the screen it wasnt me i swear)
How certain are we that aven sp is the main dps for ashveil and blade? I'm thinking about pulling blade e2s1 jusr for aventurine since i already have asheil at e2s1 aswell. I just think it makes sense that he is the last piece for the team. What do you guys think?
The title
I'm not even making this up. I think it's from the free credits I received to level him up to 60 but omg the coincidence T_T
I started the game for him ngl but missed his last banner so I'm glad he's finally home!
According to leaks Pearl is Wind Elation. If the speculation that Aventurine needs teammates to be of different path from him is true, she doesn't seem to be his bis sustainer. But Robin, again according to leaks, plays with Evernight, not mblade or Ashveil. Then who tf is the sustainer?

I started when his banner dropped which is April 17 also my birthday so aventurine has a special place in my heart he is my first limited character that I pulled for not counting Dr ratio since he was free.
So, if he ends up being the Elation FuA main dps that I want him to be, there might be some interesting ways for his kit to work. First of all, Elation and FuA have always been kinda related, with pre-elation DU and SU having FuA buffs in the Elation path, and Elation just being a teamwide built big FuA, so makes sense for at least 1 Elation character to be FuA related. Anyway, I'm not gonna talk about a possible FuA sustain, as I don't think we'll have one at all, and I also don't think the Elation sustain will work with them anyway, meaning, all of my theorizing will be with the current sustains we have in mind.
As of right now the FuA team is made of Ashveil, Blade, Tribbie, Hyacine, with Hyacine being replaceable by DHPT and Huo Huo and to a lesser extent, by Gallagher. Tribbie is just really good there, but if Aventurine comes out, he will obviously replace her.
If we expect Aventurine SP to work with Ashveil and Blade in mind, we have to think about their kits first, at both E0, E1 and E2.
Ashveil's kit revolves around high-frequency attacks on bait target and final killing enemies to gain gluttony stacks, so he would prefer his team mates to deal equilibrated AoE dmg, so that all enemies will be at around the same hp%, so he can end them all with his FuA's or Ultimate.
Blade's kit also revolves around high-frequency attacks, hp manipulation, being attacked, and at E2, converting Ultimate dmg to FuA dmg. He is also a AoE unit just like hinted at the Ashveil section.
What they both have in common are self buffs, team buffs, tons of enemy debuffs, and very good SP economy, with Ashveil regenerating his SP consumed, and Blade not costing SP at all.
With all this in mind, what could we expect from Aventurine? First of all, I'm gonna exclude what I don't think he will do, that is, addressing Blade's HP and taunt mechanic. That is probably just Blade's character identity and can be solved by having an healer in the team, and for that reason I don't think Aventurine will have anything to do with that.
For the rest, I already said Ashveil likes having team mates that deal AoE dmg, they both want an high-frequency attack team mates like Tribbie, they both deal very good personal dmg, so Aventurine will probably give enemy debuffs or teamwide buffs, just like Ashveil and Blade do, and he will probably have an ultimate that deals dmg, to benefit from Blade's E2.
I also talked about their good SP economy, and looking at the 4th slot in the team, while Hyacine can be SP demanding to ult in some scenarios, DHPT and Huo Huo aren't, and Gallagher is even more SP positive than them, and while I wouldn't keep Gallagher in mind while talking about Aventurine's kit, the point still stands even if we ignore him. We have already seen Elation being tied to SP, with both DU buffs and Sparxie's and SW's kits, so nothing surprising there too.
Lastly, being an Elation unit, he will have an Elation skill, and knowing AHA's SPD formula, which in this case would be 80 + Aventurine's SPD/5, even if he were to be built at 200SPD, AHA would still be at 120, which is astonishingly slow, which means he'll probably have one of three abilities: Action advance AHA, make AHA's SPD reliant on attacks frequency rather than his own SPD, or building a much more powerful Elation skill, considering how long it takes.
Maybe his skill could consume tons of SP, but that would be too much like Sparxie, unless the more SP he consumes, the faster he/AHA gets, advances AHA or obtains 1 stack for his own FuA mechanic, or his Elation skill could consume all the SP to buff the team, debuff enemies or anything related to that. I doubt it'll be just a dmg elation skill, and will probably be team related, considering this team will probably have 3 characters with very similar dps in it.
And that's about it, I probably have some more ideas in mind that I forgot to talk about, but this post is already so long and most won't read through all of that either way. If you disagree with my ideas, please talk about yours or why you disagree, I just wanna talk about his possible kit, and I don't think in any way I'm absolutely right or anything, I just wanted to share my thoughts <3
