Pearl is a five-star Ice character on the Path of Elation who works as a defensive sustain and a team buffer. Her kit already performs well at Eidolon 0, so her Eidolons are extra investment rather than requirements. Some of them add real teamwide value, while two are just trace level-ups. Here is how each one stacks up for players deciding how far to pull.
Quick answer: E2 and E6 are her two standout pulls, E1 is a strong stopping point for most players, and E3, E4, and E5 are skippable unless you are pushing for her final copy.
Pearl Eidolon tier list
| Tier | Eidolons |
|---|---|
| S (best value) | E2, E6 |
| A (strong) | E1 |
| B (minor) | E4 |
| C (trace level-ups) | E3, E5 |
The two power spikes sit at the top because they change how much the whole team gains from Pearl, not just her own numbers. Note that opinions split on which of the two is strictly best: E2 is often called her best pull value for its low cost, while heavy investors rate E6 higher for its raw output once she is fully built.
What each Eidolon does
| Eidolon | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| E1 | Nestle That Pearl in Uninked Tides | Raises all allies’ Elation by 10%/20%/60% based on Elation members; revives a fatally hit ally at 50% Max HP, twice per battle. |
| E2 | Crop That Dappled Dawn | +15% team Elation DMG; extends the Ultimate’s action advance to other Elation allies and doubles the extra-turn Certified Banger and Punchline gains. |
| E3 | Sketch That Suspended Wave | Ultimate +2, Basic ATK +1, Elation Skill +1. |
| E4 | Study That Veiled Smile | Her Elation Skill raises the Elation DMG multiplier for every ally by 100%. |
| E5 | Render Those Starlit Swirls | Skill +2, Talent +2, Elation Skill +1. |
| E6 | Compute Life From One Shell | During Deep Learning, all allies receive 20% All-Type RES PEN, while her Enhanced Basic ATK deals Ice Elation DMG worth 240% of the Aesthetic Archetype’s stats. |
Why the top Eidolons place where they do
Crop That Dappled Dawn (E2) is the cleanest upgrade for the effort. It buffs every ally’s Elation damage and lets her Ultimate advance the turns of her other Elation teammates, not only the marked Aesthetic Archetype. On top of that, the resources handed out during the Ultimate’s extra turn are doubled, so her carries act more often and hit harder. For its position on the tree, it delivers the widest team benefit.
Compute Life From One Shell (E6) is her biggest direct upgrade, reserved for players committed to fully investing in her. While Deep Learning is active, All-Type RES PEN boosts damage for the entire team; her Enhanced Basic ATK also receives a substantial Ice Elation DMG addition based on the buffed carry’s stats. Since this is the final node in the tree, most players should spend those pulls on another character instead, unless they specifically want Pearl at E6.
Nestle That Pearl in Uninked Tides (E1) earns its A-tier spot on utility. The Elation boost scales with how many Elation units share the field, and the built-in revive at half HP, usable twice per fight, turns her into a genuine safety net. For players comparing her first Eidolon against her signature Light Cone, E1 is usually the higher priority.
Study That Veiled Smile (E4) lands in B tier because it only inflates the Elation Skill’s damage multiplier for allies. That is a real bump, but the cost to reach it is steep and the payoff is narrow. Skip it unless you are already going all the way to E6.
Sketch That Suspended Wave (E3) and Render Those Starlit Swirls (E5) are pure trace level-ups. They raise ability levels without adding new effects, so their impact is small and easy to ignore when planning pulls.
How this ranking was decided
Placements weigh each Eidolon’s teamwide impact in a full Elation lineup against its position on the tree and the Stellar Jade cost to reach it. Nodes that add new buffs, damage, or survivability rank above pure trace level-ups.
This ranking reflects Pearl’s Version 4.6 kit. Because she performs well at Eidolon 0, treat everything above her first copy as optional, and stop wherever your Jade budget makes sense for you.
