Honkai Star Rail Sparkle's kit

Sparkle is a 5-Star Quantum character of The Harmony path who is best at increasing a team's damage, while providing additional Skill Points to use. Due to a bonus Trace, Sparkle is also particularly useful in teams made up of only Quantum characters.

All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces.

Here's a summary of Sparkle's kit in Honkai Star Rail:

  • Element: Quantum.
  • Path: The Harmony.
  • Rarity: 5-Star.
  • Basic Attack: Monodrama - Deals Quantum damage equal to 50% of Sparkle's attack to a single enemy.
  • Skill: Dreamdiver - Increases the Crit Damage of an ally by 12% of Sparkle's Crit Damage plus 27% for one turn, and Advances the ally's action Forward by 50%. When Sparkle uses this ability on herself, the Action Advance effect does not trigger.

  • Ultimate: The Hero with a Thousand Faces - Sparkle recovers four Skill Points for the team and grants all allies Cipher. When allies with Cihper trigger the damage boost effect provided by Sparkle's Talent, each stack additionally increases its effect by 6%, lasting for two turns.
  • Talent (passive ability): Red Herring - When Sparkle is on the field, the maximum number of Skill Points increases by two. When an ally consumes one Skill Point, it increases the damage of all allies by 3% for two turns. This effect can stack up to three times.
  • Technique (overworld ability): Unreliable Narrator - Grants all allies Misdirect for 20 seconds. Characters with Misdirect will not be detected by enemies, and entering battle while in Misdirect recovers three Skill Points for the team.
  • Bonus Trace 1: Almanac - When using her Basic attack, Sparkle regenerates an additional 10 Energy.
  • Bonus Trace 2: Artificial Flower - The Crit Damage Boost effect provided by Sparkle's Skill will extend until the start of the target's next turn.
  • Bonus Trace 3: Nocturne - Increases all allies' attack by 15%, and when there are 1/2/3 Quantum characters on your team, increases Quantum-Type allies' attack by 5%/15%/30%.
