Should You Pull for Pela?

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

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.

Other Recommended Characters

Alternative	Explanation
Silver Wolf	Support Replacement Silver Wolf can apply debuffs simply by attacking and can implant a missing Elemental Weakness on an enemy.
Welt	Support Replacement Welt can Slow enemies down with his Skill and delay the enemy's turns with his Ultimate. Welt can also equip the Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat to have more chances of applying debuffs on an enemy.
Guinaifen	Support Replacement Guinafen can provide Burn DoT and Firekiss debuffs.
Luka	Support Replacement Luka can provide Bleed DoTs and remove enemy buffs with his Skill.
Gallagher	Shielder Replacement Gallagher can provide an ATK reduction debuff with his Enhanced Basic ATK. He can also heal the team as long as an ally attacks the debuffed enemy.
Luocha	Shielder Replacement Luocha is an SP-friendly unit that can provide a ton of healing outside of his turn.
Gepard	Shielder Replacement Gepard can provide Shields and can apply the Frozen debuff on an enemy using his Skill.
Fu Xuan	Shielder Replacement Fu Xuan can increase the party's CRIT Rate and decrease the DMG taken by allies.
Lynx	Shielder Replacement A free-to-play option that can provide AoE healing and remove debuffs.

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.

Other Recommended Characters

Character	Merits
Seele	DPS Replacement Though not an Ice unit, Seele (and any other DPS for the matter) will greatly appreciate the debuffs she applies to enemies.
Imbibitor Lunae	DPS Replacement Though not an Ice unit, Imbibitor Lunae greatly benefits from SP-Positive characters like Pela since he requires a lot of Skill Points.
Yanqing	DPS Replacement A replacement for Jingliu. Yanqing's high single-target DMG synergizes well with Pela's DEF shred.
Sparkle	Support Replacement Sparkle can provide CRIT DMG to the DPS and increase their DMG through Skill Point consumption.
Gepard	Healer Replacement Gepard is great for having shields and if you want more chances of inflicting Freeze.
March 7th	Healer Replacement A good alternative for an Ice tank if Luocha isn't available.

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.
