1. 🎮 Introduction to the Elation Mechanism: Focusing on Aha

2. 🚀 Analysis of Aha's Speed Formula and Combat Mechanism
- ✅ Aha's speed is determined by the speed of the fastest Elation unit in the team.
- ✅ Aha's base speed is 80, which increases with the speed and number of Elation units.
- ✅ It is ideal to aim for a speed of 133.4 to get two Aha actions at 150 Action Value.
- ✅ Speed buffs during combat do affect it, but Action Value Advance cannot bring Aha forward.
- ✅ Aha's Action Value is not reset each wave, so you can save actions until the next wave to ensure two actions.
- ✅ More Aha actions lead to more Elation skills, which are linked to the Elation damage formula.

3. 🎭 Aha's Role and Elation Skill Damage Calculation
- ✅ Aha is related to Elation skills and Certified Banger buffs.
- ✅ Aha does not attack directly, but records all Elation skills used by Elation units and applies them as final damage.
- ✅ The order of Elation skills is determined by the participant ID and also affects energy regeneration.
- ✅ Elation skill damage is scaled with a new term called Elation Damage.
- ✅ The Elation Damage formula is calculated as 7535 * (Elation Percent + Merry Making Percent + Punchline) * (Vulnerability and Damage Reduction).
- ✅ Elation Damage does not scale with elemental percent, but units like Sparkle can convert attack percent to Elation percent.
| Element | Description |

4. 💥 Punchlines and Certified Bangers: Damage Maximization Strategies
- ✅ Punchlines and Bangers play an important role in increasing Elation skills and unit talent damage.
- ✅ Punchlines are displayed at the top of the skill points and are generated when an Elation unit uses a skill.
- ✅ When Aha takes an action, Punchlines are distributed as Certified Bangers and applied to individual units.
- ✅ Punchlines affect Aha's Elation skill damage, and Certified Bangers affect individual unit talent damage.
- ✅ Certified Bangers last for 2 turns, and Yaoguang's trait extends this to 3 turns.
- ✅ It is important to quickly accumulate Punchlines by using more Elation units.

- ✅ The next Elation skill starts again with a new set of Punchlines.
- ✅ The damage of Elation units' talents increases according to Certified Bangers.
