HoYoVerse teased back in March 2026 that the Elation version of the Trailblazer would appear after the Honkai: Star Rail 4.2 patch launched, and now the company shared details about their moveset via HoYoLab ahead of the update. As expected from an Elation unit, their attacks are designed to build up Punchlines for the Aeon Aha to attack and their Ultimate will best support fellow Elation allies.
It’s the Elation Trailblazer’s Technique and Ultimate abilities that are the two supportive moves in Honkai: Star Rail. The Technique is called We are so Back. It will have a random effect to boost Elation and will affect every character in the party. The May the Trailblaze Fly You Starward Ultimate is okay for any member of the party, since it will remove Crowd Control debuffs and temporarily increase damage dealt by critical hits. However, it is best used on Elation characters since it is also tied to Punchlines, gives them Certified Banger, and lets them immediately use their Skill. (HoYoVerse noted someone who isn’t Elation will have “their action advance.”
The other moves are based on dealing lightning elemental damage. The Make Some Noise basic attack damages one enemy. The standard Let the Storm Rage Skill hits all enemies and grants the Trailblazer Certified Banger status points. The character’s Elation Skill is called I Said, “Elation,” Did I Stutter. When that’s used, it deals lightning damage to enemies randomly one at a time, then ends with every enemy taking damage.
This is one of three five-star characters who will be available after the 4.2 Honkai: Star Rail update. The Lvl 999 Silver Wolf alt will debut during that patch, and so will the new unit Evanescia.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Elation Trailblazer arrives alongside the and the 4.2 update on April 22, 2026.
