Aventurine Waveflair is a 5-star Quantum unit on the Path of Elation who plays as a main damage dealer. His output climbs with CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, SPD, and the Elation stat, so the Light Cones that suit him best pile on those exact numbers while feeding his Elation Skills.
Quick answer: Equip Summer Rides the Surf, his signature 5-star cone. If you do not have it, use Welcome to the Cosmic City, then fall back to the 4-star Today’s Good Luck or A Little Getaway.

Summer Rides the Surf, the top pick
Summer Rides the Surf is his signature cone and the clear best-in-slot. It raises CRIT Rate by 18% outright, so you free up relic and substat slots for CRIT DMG and SPD.
Using an Elation Skill grants Updraft, which pushes SPD up by 24%. That extra speed matters because his traces reward high SPD thresholds and let him take turns more often to build Fervor. When he casts an Elation Skill that differs from his last one, he gains Uptrend, boosting Elation by 40%. Since he juggles two Elation Skills, that condition triggers naturally in a rotation.
The cone also refunds a Skill Point for the whole team at the start of each wave or after every third Elation Skill he uses, which keeps team rotations smooth. All three stat lines it hands out line up directly with what raises his Elation damage.
Best 5-star alternative: Welcome to the Cosmic City
Welcome to the Cosmic City, Silver Wolf LV999’s cone, is the strongest non-signature 5-star. It grants 18% SPD and makes his Elation DMG ignore 20% of the target’s DEF, which is a large multiplier on his multi-hit Elation Skills.
The extra speed helps him bank an early Ultimate and generate Fervor faster. Its second effect lets him cast Ultimate on himself to gain 20 Punchline points once, resetting after he uses Basic ATK three times. Until the Flowers Bloom Again also works as another 5-star option if you already own it.
Budget 4-star Light Cones
Two 4-star cones cover him well until a 5-star drops. Both feed his Elation damage directly.
Today’s Good Luck
Today’s Good Luck raises CRIT Rate by 12% and, on each Elation Skill, enhances his Elation by 12%, stacking up to two times. It is a battle pass cone, so it sits behind the Nameless Honor track rather than the gacha, but its CRIT Rate and stacking Elation make it a solid stand-in.
A Little Getaway
A Little Getaway is the accessible gacha option. It boosts Elation by 20% and lets his Elation Skill ignore 8% of the target’s DEF. Pick this if you lack the higher-rarity cones, since it still hands him both an Elation buff and a DEF-shred effect that scale with his kit.
How to choose
Go for Summer Rides the Surf whenever it is available, because it is the only cone that stacks CRIT Rate, SPD, and Elation together while easing your team’s Skill Point economy. Welcome to the Cosmic City is the next best if you want DEF ignore and speed instead. For free-to-play or early accounts, A Little Getaway keeps his Elation damage respectable, and Today’s Good Luck edges it out if you already run the battle pass.
