Best Aventurine • Waveflair Light Cone

Summer Rides the Surf

HP 952 | ATK 582 | DEF 529

Light Cone Effect: Roaring Waves

Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18%.

When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, they gain Windbreak, increasing SPD by 20%.

If the Elation Skill used is different from the previous Elation Skill, the wearer additionally gains Tide, increasing Elation by 36%.

At the start of each wave or after the wearer uses an Elation Skill 3 times, regenerates 1 Skill Point.

Summer Rides the Surf is Aventurine • Waveflair’s signature Light Cone and the best option for maximizing his overall performance.

The CRIT Rate increase directly improves his damage output, while the SPD bonus helps him reach higher SPD thresholds required by his Trace abilities.

The additional Elation boost further strengthens his main damage source, allowing Aventurine • Waveflair to deal higher damage with his Elation Skills. The Skill Point recovery effect also improves team rotation and makes his gameplay smoother.

LC Materials

Other Light Cone Options

Light Cone	Use
Today’s Good Luck	Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 12%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation by 12%, stacking up to 2 times. The CRIT Rate increase directly improves his damage consistency, while the Elation enhancement becomes stronger as he repeatedly uses his Elation Skills during battle.
Take a Short Break	Increases the wearer’s Elation by 20%. During the wearer’s Elation Skill usage, ignores 8% of the target’s DEF. Compared with higher-rarity options, it offers fewer offensive stats, but it can still improve Aventurine • Waveflair’s Elation Skill damage and works well as an accessible replacement.

 

Best Aventurine • Waveflair Relics

Relic Set	Description
Ever-Glorious Magical Girl	This is Aventurine • Waveflair’s best Relic set. 2-Piece: Increases CRIT DMG by 16%. 4-Piece: The Elation DMG dealt by the wearer and their memosprites ignores 10% of targets' DEF. For every 5 accumulated Punchline allies gain, the Elation DMG dealt additionally ignores 1% of targets' DEF, stacking up to 10 times. This Relic set is designed around Aventurine • Waveflair’s main damage source: Elation DMG. His strongest attacks, including Cheers! To the Blazing Summer and All in! To the Blazing Summer, rely heavily on Elation mechanics rather than normal DMG increases. The CRIT DMG bonus improves his overall damage output, while the DEF Ignore effect greatly enhances his multi-hit Elation Skills. Since Aventurine • Waveflair continuously generates Punchlines through his Skills, Ultimate, and teammate attacks, he can consistently gain additional DEF Ignore stacks during combat.
Genius of Brilliant Stars	Genius of Brilliant Stars is a strong alternative Relic option. 2-Piece: Increases Quantum DMG by 10%. 4-Piece: When the wearer deals DMG to the target enemy, ignores 10% DEF. If the target enemy has Quantum Weakness, the wearer additionally ignores 10% DEF. This set provides consistent DEF Ignore and additional Quantum DMG, making it a reliable choice for players who do not have a complete Ever-Glorious Magical Girl set. However, its effectiveness depends more on enemy Quantum Weakness and it does not directly enhance Elation DMG, making it less universal than Aventurine • Waveflair’s best Relic set.

Best Planar Ornaments

Planar Ornament	Description
Punklorde Stage Zero	This is Aventurine • Waveflair’s default best Planar Ornament. 2-Piece: Increases the wearer's Elation by 8%. When Elation reaches 40%/80% for the first time in combat, increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 20%/32%. This set perfectly matches Aventurine • Waveflair’s gameplay. His Trace Party of Euphoria increases Elation based on SPD, allowing him to activate the CRIT DMG bonuses more easily. The combination of Elation and CRIT DMG directly improves his main damage source.
The Wondrous BananAmusement Park	A strong CRIT DMG-focused alternative. 2-Piece: Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 16%. When a target summoned by the wearer is on the field, CRIT DMG additionally increases by 32%. This set provides a large amount of CRIT DMG, making it useful for players who already have enough SPD and CRIT Rate. However, the additional bonus requires a summon to be present, making it more team-dependent than Punklorde Stage Zero.
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation	A situational option for multi-target content. 2-Piece: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 4%. When an enemy target gets defeated, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases by 4%, stacking up to 10 times. This set performs well in stages with frequent enemy waves, where Aventurine • Waveflair can quickly accumulate CRIT DMG stacks. However, it provides less consistent value in single-target battles.

Aventurine • Waveflair Best Main Stats

Relic Slot	Main Stat
Body	CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
Feet	SPD
Planar Sphere	Quantum DMG Boost / ATK%
Link Rope	ATK%

Substat Priority

CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > SPD > ATK%

Aventurine • Waveflair benefits greatly from CRIT stats because his main damage comes from multiple instances of Elation DMG. CRIT Rate is especially important for ensuring consistent damage across his multi-hit attacks.

SPD is also a key stat because his Trace Party of Euphoria requires at least 160 SPD to activate its first bonus, increasing his Elation and improving his overall damage potential.

Recommended Stat Goals

Stat	Recommended Target
SPD	160+
CRIT Rate	70%–90%+
CRIT DMG	150%–200%+
ATK	3,000+

These values are reference targets rather than strict requirements. Players using his signature Light Cone Summer Rides the Surf may reach these thresholds more easily due to its CRIT Rate and SPD bonuses.
