Honkai Star Rail’s new character, Sparkle, will be released in the second half of Update 2.0, which will be released on February 27, 2024! Since Sparkle is quite an interesting character, there’s a lot to discover about her build and if you’re planning on pulling for her, you should definitely stick around a little longer!
Sparkled is one of the upcoming characters we will see in Honkai Star Rail update 2.0. His complete kit is at least as unique as his personality, and will definitely allow for some rather strange team composition options!
If you are considering shooting for Sparkled, you should know that it is part of the second phase of the 2.0 Penacony update, which will be available on February 27, 2024! I bet many of you are very interested in this mischievous lady, so how about we take a look at her best builds, okay?
Honkai Star Rail Sparkle Build: Best Light Cones and Team Composition
As mentioned earlier, Sparkled is a rather mysterious person who doesn’t reveal much about herself, but when she does, you always have to assume that it was all just an act. Her life is a theatrical performance and she loves nothing more than slipping into different roles and living by her own rules.
| Start of banner: | January 27, 2023 |
| Element and path: | Quantum / Harmony |
| Rarity: | 5 stars |
| Ranking before release: | Level S+ |
| Difficulty: | easy/medium |
All this not only makes it extremely exciting but also quite dangerous. Sparkle has many faces with which she makes people dance to her beat. She doesn’t even care about money or her reputation, all she cares about is her own form of spectacle and entertainment.
Personally, I really like the theme that Sparkle has for her, and I’ll probably try my luck with some prints on her banner too!
Building Sparkle
In order to make your Sparkle build as good as possible, you should aim to give him a full 4 piece set as well as a 2 piece set. If there really is no other option, you can also try making three 2-piece sets instead.
Sparkle’s build is a bit different than existing Harmony characters, as one of her most important stats is actually Critical damage, which is a rather offensive statistic for a support unit! Beside that, a bunch of SPD is also extremely crucial! That’s why I would recommend the following set:
Define combination #1
You should use this set, for its best performance and amazing team support:
Define combination #2
This option is quite interesting if you can’t find a 4 piece with good secondary stats. Besides that, it will inflict a little more DMG like this:
Sparkle’s best stats
The right (sub)stats are just as crucial as the right set and in Sparkle’s case, maybe even a little more important than usual! You should aim for the following stats:
- Body: Crit DMG (at all costs)
- Boots : SPD/ATK%
- Planar sphere: % HP / % DEF
- Connecting rope: Energy regeneration rate
- Overall priority: Crit DMG → SPD (145) → HP% / DEF% → Effect Resistance
If you’re not sure how the Sparkle kit works, know that it gives his teammates some of his own Crit DMG! This is why you should have a decent amount of them. However, don’t forget about SPD either, since she needs around 145. If this is done, you can focus on her survivability.
Sparkle Cones of Light
Usually, I would recommend, in this part, to save your Stellar Jades and choose a free alternative for Sparkle instead. However, even though she’s “just” a support unit, her own signature Light Cone is a huge deal as it can buff your entire team’s Crit DMG and Crit RATE!
1. Land getaway
As I mentioned before, this Light Cone is definitely worth your Stellar Jades. It provides a ton of utility to your entire team and further increases your damage output significantly! If you like Sparkle and her kit, you should at least try to get her this one.
Land getaway has the following effect:
2. Dance! Dance! Dance!
This light cone is just a basic item for every Harmony character. SPD is one of the most valuable stats in the entire game, and Dane! Dance! Dance! It gives a lot to the whole team! One of the best all-around weapons for supports!
Dance! Dance Dance! has the following effect:
3. Sculpt the moon, weave the clouds
This Light Cone option is no worse than Dance! Dance! Dance! but it is a little less reliable. All the possible buffs are pretty good, but it’s always a bit of a gamble as to which one you’ll get! (This shouldn’t be a problem for a gacha game player anyway…)
Sculpt the moon, weave the clouds has the following effect:
Personally, I’d probably go for Dance! Dance! Dance! if I can’t get Sparkle’s signature Light Cone. I like its reliability and the fact that the damage I deal remains consistent.
Sparkle team composition
One of Sparkle’s signature skills is Regeneration of skill points, or to be a little more precise, the fact that it can create additional Skill Points! As of now, no other character can do this, which makes her very unique.
Since Sparkle has a pretty peculiar relationship with using skill points, how about pairing her with the most skill point hungry character in the entire game: And Heng Imbibitor Lunae!
To be honest, the main units of this team are Dang Heng IL and Sparkle. You can replace the other two slots with another tank or even a healer, and the second with any buffer you might have on your account. This seems to be a really effective method to solve Dan Heng IL’s skill point problem!
And that sums up everything you need to know about Sparkle and its builds. Will you shoot for her in the next banner? — Good luck to everyone who wants Sparkle! (I really hope I can get it somehow…)
Do you need an education on the history of Star Rail?
