2. 🤣 The Mechanics of Aha Time and Punchlines
- ✅ The number in the lower right corner of the screen indicates the number of "Punchlines" stacks.
- ✅ Aha is on the character's action icon and acts at its own speed.
- ✅ When Aha acts, "Aha Time" is activated, and Elation skills are automatically activated.
- ✅ Elation skills have performance numbers assigned to them, and they are activated in ascending order.
- ✅ After Aha Time ends, "Punchlines" are granted to each Elation character as "Laughingstock Spoils."
- ✅ The "Punchlines" displayed on the character icon are the reference value for Elation damage that is activated outside of Aha Time.

3. 📜 Detailed Explanation of Laughingstock Spoils and Punchlines
- ✅ There are two types of Punchlines: those recorded on the character icon and those shared.
- ✅ When Aha Time is activated, the shared Punchlines are stacked on each Elation character as "Laughingstock Spoils" (a special buff that lasts for 2 turns).
- ✅ Laughingstock Spoils are treated as independent buffs and increase or decrease as turns pass.
- ✅ When Gallagher's Basic ATK or Skill is activated, the phrase "Gains Punchlines" is added to the shared one.
- ✅ Xueyi's effect of "+8% Crit DMG for the entire team for each Punchline possessed" refers to the shared Punchlines.
| Element | Details |
|---|---|
| Punchlines (Shared) | Granted to each character as Laughingstock Spoils when Aha Time is activated |
| Laughingstock Spoils (Individual) | 2-turn continuous buff, used for damage calculation other than Aha Time |

4. 💥 Elation Damage Calculation Method and Stats
- ✅ Elation damage is not affected by ATK or DMG buffs.
- ✅ Affected by level-dependent fixed values, Elation, Punchlines, and Ascension (Xueyi E6 only).
- ✅ Crit DMG, HP, Fire DMG increase/decrease, All-Type RES PEN, Penetration, DEF reduction, and DoT are effective.
| Stats | Effect |
|---|---|
| Elation | Elation version of DMG buff |
| Character Level | Increases base firepower (Elation version of ATK) |
| Elation DMG multiplier | Multiplier set in the Elation skill attachment |
| Punchlines | The more there are, the higher the damage (skills refer to Aha, and Talents refer to the character's Punchlines) |
| Ascension | Special DMG buff with separate multiplication (Xueyi E6 only) |
Detailed damage calculation formulas will be explained after official permission or after the official version is released.
