Honkai: Star Rail’s Elation roster now has two finished, fully invested teams built around Aeon Aha, and they are close. One is led by Silver Wolf Lv.999, the other by Evanescia. Both were pitted against Lord of Samvartasthayi, Asat in the King in Plight fight, with every unit at E6S5, the maximum-investment setup the community calls 48 cost. Both teams win with no Action Value spent, so damage numbers are the only way to separate them.
Quick answer: Both teams clear at 0 AV. Silver Wolf Lv.999’s team deals more total damage (322.9M vs 312.7M). Evanescia deals more on her own (248.3M vs 171.6M).
King in Plight damage results: Silver Wolf Lv.999 team vs Evanescia team
Each run ends on the “Battle Over” screen with the message “The power of Voracity has been suppressed!” Both teams finish before the boss’s Action Value counter ever ticks forward. The full damage split for each team looks like this.
| Character | Silver Wolf Lv.999 team | Evanescia team |
|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | 171.6M (53.1%) | 248.3M (79.4%) |
| Aeon Aha | 109.2M (33.8%) | 37.8M (12.1%) |
| Yao Guang | 42.1M (13.0%) | 26.5M (8.5%) |
| Fourth slot | Sparxie: 0 (0.0%) | Cyrene: 0 (0.0%) |
| Team total | 322,866,975 | 312,652,865 |
Silver Wolf Lv.999’s team comes out ahead on total damage by just over 10 million. That gap is about 3 percent, which is narrow for a fight where both teams overkill the encounter. Because both runs share the same 0 AV ceiling, neither team clears faster in turn terms.
What the damage split says about each Elation DPS
Evanescia is the more self-contained carry. She produces nearly four-fifths of her team’s output. Aeon Aha and Yao Guang add a combined 64 million on top. Her team is built around feeding her, and the numbers reflect that. She pushes almost all of the damage through a single character, with “Swordsong: Absolution Denied” as her burst.
Silver Wolf Lv.999 spreads the work out more. She still leads her team, but Aeon Aha nearly triples her output compared to the Evanescia run, landing 109.2M. Yao Guang also deals noticeably more next to Silver Wolf. The result is a team total that edges out Evanescia’s, even though Silver Wolf’s personal number is 76.7M lower.
Aeon Aha plays as an offensive sub-DPS in both lineups rather than a pure buffer. The size of her contribution depends heavily on the partner. In the Silver Wolf team she accounts for a third of all damage. Next to Evanescia she drops to about an eighth.
The zero-damage fourth slots are expected. Sparxie and Cyrene are there for what they give the rest of the team, not their own hits. That is why neither appears on the damage tracker.
The two 48 cost Aeon Aha team lineups
The two teams share three of four slots. Aeon Aha and Yao Guang appear in both, so the comparison comes down to the main DPS and one flex support.
| Slot | Silver Wolf Lv.999 team | Evanescia team |
|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Silver Wolf Lv.999 | Evanescia |
| Sub-DPS | Aeon Aha | Aeon Aha |
| Support | Yao Guang | Yao Guang |
| Flex | Sparxie | Cyrene |
| Investment | E6S5 across the board | E6S5 across the board |
This matchup goes back to the anniversary patch, when the two DPS units were first compared. Neither team was complete then. The options at that point were Huohuo as sustain, or a sustainless Cyrene setup that leaned on Cyrene’s E6 to bend the AV count. With Aeon Aha in the third slot, both lineups now run as full Elation teams.
Lord of Samvartasthayi, Asat: how the King in Plight fight plays out
The boss has three phases. Its board carries a “Voracity Corrosion” special mechanism from the start. Both teams pass through the same checkpoints, so the encounter reads the same way in each run.
Phase I: opening buffs and first bursts
The Silver Wolf Lv.999 team opens with Sparxie and Aeon Aha stacking buffs before Silver Wolf moves into her enhanced Elation attacks. The combat text tracks the buff chain closely. “All-Type RES PEN Boost,” “Ignore Defense,” “Elation Boost,” and “CRIT DMG Boost” all appear, along with Silver Wolf’s “God Mode: ON!” state.
Evanescia’s team front-loads in a similar way. Evanescia casts “Swordsong: Absolution Denied” early in Phase I, with Aeon Aha and Yao Guang adding follow-up attacks around it.
Phase II: Asat Pramad’s Die
When the boss enters Phase II, the game shows a dice selector called Asat Pramad’s Die. You keep the effect you choose, and the dice you leave behind take effect on Asat Pramad instead. The three faces are these.
- Aha Instant: Aha immediately takes an extra turn, counted as a fixed 20 Punchline, without consuming any Punchline.
- Gain Barrier: applies “Barrier” to all enemy targets.
- Deal Damage: hits all allies, with a chance to inflict the “Strong Reverberation” state.
Both teams pick Aha Instant. In the Silver Wolf run, her kit also kicks in here. The game reports that “Silver Wolf LV.999 hacked into the game and granted you immunity to control effects.” That matches her ability to remove and block crowd control on allies.
Final Phase: Comediologist and Meme’d
The Final Phase brings in an add called Comediologist. Asat Pramad marks allies with “Meme’d.” The next time “Formation” acts, every Meme’d mark detonates at once. Defeating Comediologist gives allies a Shield. Both teams handle the phase the same way, by burning through every target before the detonation can matter.
E6S5 builds: Light Cones, relics, and stats
All five featured units are Level 80 Elation characters with their Light Cones at S5. Gear is listed first, then the stats that matter most for each role.
| Character | Light Cone | Relics (4-pc) | Ornament (2-pc) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Wolf Lv.999 | Welcome to the Cosmic City | Ever-Glorious Magical Girl | Punklorde Stage Zero |
| Evanescia | Until the Flowers Bloom Again | Ever-Glorious Magical Girl | Punklorde Stage Zero |
| Aeon Aha | Upon the First Echo of “Aha” | Dreamkit Actor | God’s Moment of Joy |
| Yao Guang | When She Decided to See | Diviner of Distant Reach | Punklorde Stage Zero |
| Sparxie | Dazzled by a Flowery World | Ever-Glorious Magical Girl | Tengoku@Livestream |
| Character | SPD | CRIT Rate / DMG | Elation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Wolf Lv.999 | 216.0 | 78.7% / 176.1% | 18.0% |
| Evanescia | 135.0 | 56.1% / 348.0% | 26.0% |
| Aeon Aha | 191.7 | 78.5% / 178.0% | 18.0% |
| Yao Guang | 194.8 | 72.3% / 205.5% | 18.0% |
| Sparxie | 130.4 | 98.0% / 259.5% | 28.0% |
The two main DPS builds point in opposite directions. Silver Wolf Lv.999 is a speed build. Her Elation damage scales with SPD, and her signature Light Cone makes a 200-plus SPD target realistic. She also runs only 1,217 ATK alongside 1,503 DEF and 4,924 HP, because her damage does not lean on ATK. Evanescia is a damage build. She carries 3,609 ATK, a 348 percent CRIT DMG figure, and 19.4 percent Energy Regeneration Rate at a modest 135 SPD.
Among the supports, Sparxie runs a near-capped 98 percent CRIT Rate, while Yao Guang and Aeon Aha both sit above 190 SPD. Yao Guang also runs 19.4 percent Energy Regeneration Rate. Aeon Aha carries the only non-zero Effect RES in the group at 8.6 percent. At this level of investment, the choice between the two teams comes down to style rather than raw power. Silver Wolf Lv.999 gets slightly more out of the whole team, and Evanescia does more of the work herself.
