It’s crazy how Sparkle’s gameplay is all harmony focus when she’s pretty much the most chaotic character yet

[@Tam-lv1mp]

yeah, her personality is way more nihility/follow up attack

[@TheCaliMack]

She's essentially an enabler of mayhem

[@banir3736]

We don’t even know much about sparkle. Her ult says “Hero of a thousand Faces”. Probably means something in the future.

[@asoret]

literally has a gun in her demo, but nothing of that in the gameplay, is meme

The recommended subs after speed and crit damage are HP, DEF, & EFF RES. Attack does absolutely nothing for her.

Which I have to say is a very welcomed addition, cause every single relic i farm has no atk or crit rate 🥲

Attack does a bit. Especially since she does a good bit of damage on off turns. Mine has 40% CR just because my good CD pieces happened to have it

[@RePollster]

@@quint2568 it's only a decent option to level if you are not using her skill every turn, which is a damage loss for most teams.

Thx for the video!

[@AlexN0704]

It took me a while to realize why her trace gave her 10 energy on normal atk but once i did infound it genius. With just an er rope u get 119.4 er wich is just wat she needs to fill her burst every 3 turns if each turn she gets 30 energy. With that trace, regarless of using skill or normal atk, no matter wat u do u will generate 30 energy and get ur burst allways in 3 turns regarless

[@windeen]

9:49 Where? I looked in the description...

[@clear9721]

You forget how she makes Jing Yuan much more relevant than the follow up attackers you just mentioned. The problem with the JingYuan + Bronya combo is how you need to do her ult *Before* lightning lord's turn. Because if you use it while it's still JingYuan's turn, her buffs will disappear and not apply to Lightning lord meanwhile, not only does Sparkle solve his sp issue, her buffs will linger until Jingyuan's next turn, making him much more powerful because you can use his skills while still having Sparkle buff

[@hex8881]

Lost my 50/50 for DHIL but got Sparkle, while her Eidolons (specifically E1 & E2) are cracked, I honestly want to wait for Acheron. Been needing a good second DPS after my Jingliu, and if DHIL didn't eant to come home then Acheron will.

Was planning to pull her but turns out my teams damage is still enough for MoC and PF so I guess saving for Acheron who is rumoured to busted.

[@AlexN0704]

Important note, unless ure running mono quantum there is no reason to use ER ornaments. 119,4% er its perfect for sparkle already since 90x 119.4% = 108 + 5 So with just the rope ure already guarenteed to have ur ultimate every 3 turns (regardless of getting or not hit or using skill or normal atk since both restore 30) er from bronya lc or ornaments its wasted

If u are lacking a strong harmony character then pull for sparkle. If u really want acheron and her lc, then save for it after 40, 50 pulls or not to pull for sparkle.
