Recent community leaks have spotlighted Pearl, the IPC Ten Stoneheart known as the CEO of Planarcadia, as an upcoming playable character with a highly adaptable support role centered on the Path of Elation. Information shared by sources including Full Stop Chan (via HXG) and earlier details from Seele Leaks outline a kit built around team flexibility, path-dependent buffs, and dual sustain options.
Background on Pearl
Pearl currently exists in-game as a high-ranking NPC, a P45 senior manager in the Interastral Peace Corporation’s Strategic Investment Department. Her Cornerstone is the Pearl of Appraisal. She oversees Planarcadia and Pearluxe Corp, with a strong focus on art, cultural revitalization, and data-driven analysis. Fans have long anticipated her playable debut given her prominence among the Stonehearts alongside figures like Aventurine, Topaz, and Jade.
Leaked Kit Details
According to the latest reports, Pearl follows the Path of Elation and functions primarily as a sustain support. A core requirement of her kit is the presence of other Elation characters for full effectiveness. She delivers different forms of support depending on the paths represented in the team composition. Most notably, she can switch her path during battle. This switch allows her to provide either shields or heals, adapting her defensive contribution on the fly. The path change occurs only in combat and affects her in-battle functions and buff determination. Outside of battle she remains classified as an Elation character.
This design enables strong synergy with units such as Aventurine’s special variant (sometimes referred to in leaks as Waveflair or Aventurine SP). The two can operate together without one kit weakening the other. Earlier kit fragments from Seele Leaks further suggest that Pearl’s sustain effects scale with the frequency of attacks or hits landed by the team. High multi-hit characters and mechanics that generate numerous instances of damage appear to feed her abilities efficiently, creating potential for strong loops in Elation-focused squads.
The path-switching and conditional support mechanics position Pearl as a flexible piece rather than a rigid mono-Elation specialist. She can lean into pure Elation teams for optimized performance while still offering utility in mixed compositions through heals or shields. Community discussion has already begun exploring pairings with high-attack-count units and existing Elation supports, as well as how her presence might influence future team-building around the Path of Elation.
Release Expectations and Notes
Leakers have tentatively associated her with the Wind element and a limited 5-star rarity, though element details are repeatedly flagged as the least confirmed aspect and remain subject to change. Release timing points toward version 4.6 or a nearby patch in the later 4.x cycle, after the current focus on Planarcadia content.
All information remains unofficial and originates from leakers. Kit numbers, exact multipliers, traces, light cone effects, and final balance are expected to evolve during beta testing. Official announcements from HoYoverse will confirm or revise these details closer to her banner.
Pearl’s combination of adaptive sustain and Elation synergy has generated significant interest among players looking for new tools in the evolving meta. As more concrete beta information surfaces, her exact place in the roster will become clearer.
