Should You Pull for Pela?

Pela is one of the best 4-star units thanks to her SP-Positive playstyle and her ability to debuff all enemies' DEF. Pela can also remove enemy buffs with her Skill, which can be beneficial against enemies such as the Shape Shifter and Mara-Struck Soldiers!

Pela's Best Builds

Debuffer Support

This Pela build ensures that her debuff applies to enemies and that she gets more turns. Pela only needs 67% Effect Hit Rate to guarantee her DEF% debuff application on enemies. Eagle of Twilight Line allows Pela to have more turns because of the Advance Forward.

After reaching 67% Effect Hit Rate, you can focus on stats that increase her survivability like HP% or DEF%. SPD is also a very important stat since Pela can provide more Skill Points on a lot of turns through Basic ATKs.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat	Recommended Value
Effect Hit Rate	67% or above
SPD	134 / 143 / 160
HP	3600 or above
DEF	1000 or above

Pela's Best Teams

Pela F2P Team (Free to Play)

Support	DPS	DPS	Healer
Pela	Dan Heng	Serval	Natasha

Pela is a pretty straightforward Support unit that can have a big impact on any team. Pairing her with DPS units like Dan Heng or Serval can greatly help make clears faster with the amount of utility Pela provides.

Pela Nihility Team

Support	DPS	Support	Shielder
Pela	Acheron	Jiaoqiu	Aventurine

Pela is one of the best Support units for Acheron, as she can debuff the DEF of all enemies and help increase the Slashed Dream count. You can use the Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat on Pela to have her debuff enemies simply by attacking.

Pela Generalist Team

Support	DPS	Support	Healer
Pela	Jingliu	Bronya	Luocha

Pela can be an especially great support unit for an Ice team once she hits E4, which unlocks her ability to reduce an enemy's ice resistance after using her Skill.

Pela's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics	Rating & Merits
Eagle of Twilight Line x4	★★★★★ - Best Eagle of Twilight Line allows Pela to be Advanced Forward every time she uses her Ult, which can help her get her Ult back up by having an extra turn earlier. This can also help Pela restore additional SP since she'll have another turn earlier when she uses her Ultimate.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat x4	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best If you don't have Eagle of Twilight Line relics, the Musketeer set can be a good alternative. This set further increases Pela's SPD and lets her take her action much earlier than her allies, which is important for debuffers like her.
Ornaments	Merits
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise	★★★★★ - Best Pela can make use of both additional Effect Hit Rate and ATK stats to help with debuffing enemies while still dealing some DMG.
Fleet of the Ageless	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best Fleet of the Ageless gives Pela more HP and provides a party-wide ATK buff as long as she meets the SPD requirement.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas	★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best Pela can use Lushaka to increase the ATK of the first character in the team lineup.

Pela's Best Light Cones

All Recommended Light Cones

Light Cone	Why We Recommend It
Before the Tutorial Mission Starts	★★★★★ - Best Before the Tutorial Mission Starts is Pela's best Light Cone since it provides Effect Hit Rate and restores her energy when she attacks enemies with reduced DEF. Since Pela can decrease enemy DEF with her Ultimate, she will definitely restore energy from attacking those enemies.
Incessant Rain	★★★★☆ - Great While the CRIT Rate stat on Pela is negliglible, this Light Cone increases Pela's Effect Hit Rate and can increase the DMG taken by enemies.
Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat	★★★★☆ - Great Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat is Pela's best accessible Light Cone since this allows her to have more options of reducing enemy DEF aside from her Ultimate.
Those Many Springs	★★★☆☆ - Good Those Many Springs is good on Pela since it provides a ton of Effect Hit Rate and can increase the DMG taken by enemies. Pela can't utilize this Light Cone fully since she cannot apply DoTs.
In the Name of the World	★★★☆☆ - Good In the Name of the World increases the Effect Hit Rate of Pela's Skill. This is slightly more useful if you have Pela's E4 unlocked.
Good Night and Sleep Well	★★☆☆☆ - Okay Despite this being Pela's signature Light Cone, the damage increase is negligible since Pela is meant to decrease enemy DEF and isn't a DPS.

Pela's Trace Priority

Trace	Priority & Explanation
Basic Attack	★★☆☆☆ - Lower Priority Only used for SP regeneration. Pela doesn't need to deal a lot of DMG with her Basic ATKs.
Skill	★★★☆☆ - Low Priority Deals decent damage but is only ever used to remove enemy buffs.
Ultimate	★★★★★ - Highest Priority Pela's primary debuffing ability. Upgrading the Ultimate increases the DMG reduction.
Talent	★★★★☆ - High Priority Refunds energy after using her Ultimate. Ultimate DMG only counts as one attack.

Pela's Recommended Eidolons

	Why We Recommend It
E1	★★★☆☆ - Decent Provides a bit of energy regeneration but Pela will rarely ever deal the killing blow unless it's on purpose.
E2	★★★☆☆ - Decent Makes it possible for Pela to take her turn sooner the next turn but is a situational buff since it requires the enemy to have a buff in the first place.
E4	★★★★☆ - Good Great if she's paired with an Ice DPS.
E6	★★★☆☆ - Decent Small damage increase but only for herself.
