Pearl Best Teams

Pearl's F2P Team

This is an example of Pearl's F2P team. Pearl is an Elation Sustain who wants as many Elation characters in her team as possible.

Asta can be used to buff everyone's SPD since most Elation units benefit from it.

Elation Trailblazer and Yao Guang can also benefit from the Elation DMG buff. Sparxie can be swapped in for the Trailblazer in a team with Silver Wolf Lv.999.
