So the short of the beta seems to be:
>Sparkie
DHIL with practically no charge cap, really wants 3 Elation for the exponentially scaling mono trace and Sparkle for the SP, her cone also buffs ally Elation%, but I assume it's more so that Yao Guang and a theoretical Elation Cinny can deal a bit more damage and she won't be in (((the battleship))) . The animations are on the goofy side, not my cup of tea but the ult is cute.
>/our/ general
Definitely a potential woman with all the Elation buffs, but with the RES shred and 50% crit value from the lightcone may still be useable generally, also probably gonna be dealing an above average amount of damage for a support with the Aha attacks. Very pretty animations, pulling.
>BS buff
I don't play BS but the buff doesn't sound that impactful, she'll just have an easier time keeping up her debuffs, QoL I guess. Could still be enough to give her a slight edge over other 3rd slots in DoT.
>Sparkle buff
Sounds amazing! Obscene amount of SP gen, skill and ult effects don't get wasted, no mono-quantum meme. This kind of buff makes her a staple of her niche like Kafka's, except she'd be easier to replace because it's harder to fit a SP slurper with 2 SP gen action advancers than a DoT DPS with two detonators.
>new relics
The first one is just a Genius upgrade for Elation characters, very straightforward. The second is signature for Yao Guang and good for any cope 3rd slot you'd use with Elation. It should also work for hyperspeed carries, 6% SPD and 18% CR ain't bad when the only condition is going super fast, I don't know any crit carries who want 160 speed though, Aglaea exists but she has her own signature set.
>new cones
The 5* ones sound very strong even barring the lack of Elation cones in general, the BP cone is a general DPS statstick as expected, the MoC cone is supportive as expected, one of the 3* ones actually sounds fffine for DPS since it gives 40% CDMG if your Aha is well fed (OR it could be good for an Elation action advancer since they always scale with CDMG!).
>Elation in general
Currently disappointing, I expected something more gimmicky like in the event but it's just a communal memosprite with exclusive stat types. Remembrance was just as disappointing in terms of being a step back from the test event, but it didn't have any exclusive stat buffers (except Evernight but everyone rolled her so doesn't count).
>Planarcadia
"Penacony but Japanese", I have zero expectations.
