She is easily one of the best Harmony characters in the game and one of the must-pull characters forDan Heng Imbibitor Lunaemains. Sparkle is a member of the Masked Fools, who also wants to get into the Genius Society. She is described as a woman with countless masks and many faces and a dangerous master of theatrics.

Sparkle was released in the 2nd phase of the HSR 2.0 banner onFebruary 29, which was also her last banner in Honkai Star Rail.

Sparkle’s Kit and Best Cycle Rotation (At Max Level)

Sparkle is perfect for Hyper carry teams, especially Skill point negative DPS units. Her kit is straightforward, and if correctly used, it can increase the team’s damage significantly. She is also a strong contender to be one of the S-tier characters in Honkai Star Rail. Let’s look at her kit first to understand her play style.

Sparkle’s Skill gives a straight Crit Damage buff to one ally and advances their action, similar to Bronya. Her talent also gives a damage buff to the entire team, depending on the skill points used by allies.Sparkle’s buff uptimes are pretty low, so you will need to fine-tune your team’s speed to get the best out of her buffs.

Even though her stats require a high Crit Damage for her buffs, you won’t be using her Basic attacks much due to her low buff uptimes. So,her ideal turn cycle rotation will have her take action right after your main DPS, allowing her skill to action forward your main DPS and letting them take action twice.

Sparkle has some pretty good cavern relic and planar ornament options to get the best out of her buffs. Here are the best relics, planar ornaments, and main and sub-stats for creating the best Sparkle build.

Best Relics for Sparkle in HSR

The 4-piece Traversing Hackerspace is best for Sparkle, as it will give your team a good speed buff after using her Ultimate. The 4-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat is also a good alternative to increase Sparkle’s speed and attack.

Best Planar Ornaments for Sparkle in HSR

Sparkle’s best build will use the 2-piece Broken Keel when she meets the 30% Effect Resistance threshold. This will allow Sparkle to buff the Crit Damage of all her allies by 10% on top of her Skill’s buff.

The 2-piece Penacony, Land of the Dreams, will be Sparkle’s best pick if she is in a mono Quantum team. This will let her buff the entire team’s Damage significantly, especially with her Ascension 6 ability unlocked.

Main and Sub Stats for Best Sparkle Builds

Sparkle’s Crit Damage buff for allies scales with her Crit Damage, sostack as much Crit Damage as possible. Next, prioritize meeting the 30% Effect Resistance threshold for using the Broken Keel set. Add at least 20% Effect Resistance on her sub-stats, as her Traces also give a 10% effect resistance boost. Make sure to break at least the134 Speed Breakpointwith Sparkle.

Other than that, you can stack ERR%, HP%, and Defense% as needed. Make sure to always keep her speed one less than the speed of your team’s main DPS.

Sparkle Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail

Sparkle is a strong character at E0 when using her best buildsand her Eidolons make her incredibly stronger. Her E1 and E2 are crazy strong as they provide a 40% attack increase to your main DPS and additionally lets them ignore 8% of the Defense of enemies. Her E6 also increases Crit Damage significantly for all her allies, but it’s better to save your Stellar Jades instead.
