Hero's story

A charming prankster and "illusionist" - one of the participants of the "Masked Fools" faction, operating in the territory of Penakonia. She is a bright and unpredictable master of theatrical art, who plays any role perfectly. The girl's specialty is the possession of many masks, which allow her to take on different forms. Wealth, status, power - all these worldly and base things are unimportant to the little girl. The only thing that captivates her and makes her wake up day after day is nothing other than "entertainment".

This fact is confirmed by the description in the “Remembrance”, depicted on the signature light cone: "Like a festive fireworks display, her face changes dozens of colors in a minute. When the fireworks come to an end, she watches the crowd disperse from a height. Thoughts appear and disappear one after another, and a mischievous sparkle illuminates her gaze every now and then, like a multi-colored kaleidoscope. She skips through the crowd - a tail of red gold flashing here and there. Don't disperse, the brightest fireworks display will begin soon!"

The development of the girl's storyline can be found in her companion mission the keeper of memory, the Black Swan.

How Sparkle's skills work

The skills allow the girl to compete with another representative of the Path of Harmony, "Illusions of the End".

The main feature of the character is skill point recovery during the battle. The mechanics partially repeat the functions of the epic heroine Hani (Harmony: Physical), however, the replenishing properties of the legendary "slouch" are many times more effective. In addition, the girl can move the actions of allies forward: the ability is somewhat inferior to the capabilities of Armor, which has 100% advancement from the skill, but in combination with other offered bonuses in the long term, the master of illusions demonstrates bоgreater benefit.

The order of leveling abilities

Skill/Super Ability ≥ Talent > Basic Attack

Emboldening Salvo "Floating in Dreams" and superpower “Heroine of a Thousand Faces” are the highest priority skills that will provide great to the squad at the initial levels of leveling up Sparkle. No less popular skill - талант A “red herring” that directly affects the effectiveness of the bonuses offered by the superpower. Therefore, its development should take place in a consistent manner together with other skills.

Basic attack "One-Team Show" - not a priority. It can be improved if there are “extra” resources. If desired, the skill can be left at level 1 improvement in order to save materials for upgrading Traces.

Tracks

After studying all the traces, the total increase in characteristics will be:

Max. HP reserve:	28.0%
Crete. damage:	24.0%
Effect Resistance:	10.0%

Eidolons

All consts:

1	Hovering mistrust	The duration of the “Cipher” status imposed by the character’s superpower increases by 1 turn. Allies affected by the buff have their attack power increased by an additional 40%.
2	Absolute fiction	Each stacking level of a character's talent allows allies to ignore 8% of the target's defense when dealing damage to it.
3	pipe dream	Superpower level increases by 2. Maximum level is 15. Basic attack level increases by 1. Maximum level is 10.
4	Life is a game	The number of skill points restored by a superpower increases by 1. The talent additionally increases the max. number of skill points by 1.
5	Double truth	Skill level increases by 2. Maximum level is 15. Talent level increases by 2. Maximum level is 15.
6	Ambiguity of the narrative	The Critical Damage Increase effect described in the skill increases Critical Damage by an additional 30% of the heroine's Critical Damage. When the girl uses her skill, the Critical Damage Increase effect described in her skill is also applied to all allies with the "Cipher" status. When the character uses her super ability, this effect is applied to all allies with the "Cipher" status, if there is an ally in the squad with an active Critical Damage Increase effect described in the skill.

Twilight's best eidolons are the first, second and fourth:

• E1 — the main feature of the heroine’s superpower is that it directly affects the increase in outgoing damage, which is useful for any DPS character. The first eidolon, in turn, will expand the advantageous component of the ultimate skill, offering an additional bonus in the form of a percentage increase in attack power, which again will suit most damage dealers whose damage is scaled by this combat stat.
• E2 — the ability to ignore part of the enemy's defense is a good bonus that will allow you to deal with elite opponents and bosses faster as part of completing high-level content. In cooperation with "Genius of Diamond Stars", this eidolon will acquire special significance.
• E4 - represents an additional boost to the bonus from a superpower, which is useful in any protracted battles. Especially if the squad consists of characters who are forced to constantly consume skill points to fully unleash their personal combat potential.

How to Play as Sparkle in HSR

As a follower of the Path of Harmony, the girl is engaged in the distribution of various bonuses by activating the skill, and also restores skill points and increases their number after using the superpower. Thanks to the peculiarities of her mechanics, she can constantly use the skill "Floating in Dreams" without worrying about the action points spent, and thereby maintain positive effects on critical damage. With proper pumping, the "energy recovery speed" parameter will allow the girl to often use the ultimate skill and thereby open up additional opportunities for allies during turn-based combat.

In Sparkle's rotation, you must adhere to the following tips:

1. Before the battle, use the techniques of heroes ing the Paths of Non-existence and/or Preservation (also “Harmony”, if additional representatives of this class are present in the group). Next, it is important to activate the Unreliable Narrator technique, which will offer the Obfuscate status and subsequently restore up to 3 skill points at the start of the battle. Thus, the squad will be able to carry out an active offensive in the first cycle of the battle - the team will not need additional actions to “build up”.
2. Use the Dream Floater skill on the main DPS character in the squad, who is focused on dealing the main damage. You can only be distracted by third-party damage dealers if the main one is under the influence of negative statuses (its action is delayed or postponed).
3. If for some reason there are no “free” action points to activate a skill, use a basic attack. Thanks to the Almanac Trail, she will provide additional energy for the fastest use of the ultimate skill.
4. As for the “Heroine of a Thousand Faces” ultimate, that its activation is possible and mandatory as energy accumulates. This skill is important not only due to the skill points (both restored and added), but also due to the additional increase in the positive bonus for increasing damage.

All about character leveling

To level up to 80 you need the following amount of resources:

• loans (×308 000) is the main in-game currency that can be obtained as a reward for completing Exploration and Adventure missions, "Honor of the Nameless" and closing activity levels "Sepal (golden)";

Advantages and disadvantages

Having understood how the skills work, we can draw a conclusion about the advantages and disadvantages of the quantum representative of Harmony:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Extremely easy to assemble. To reveal the main advantages, it is important for a girl to adjust such characteristics as speed, energy recovery and critical damage to the optimal value. Other parameters are insignificant, and you can think about protective functions only if there are problems with survivability.	Does not require additional eidolons and can be equipped with both a three-star and a rare weapon "card". However, to reveal the maximum potential and more comfortable play, E1 and/or signature light cone are important for her.
Provides essential buffs to allies, so that Geryon units often don't need additional from characters. Therefore, this slot can be filled by either a Path of Oblivion representative or a secondary damage dealer.	Bonuses of some traces (for example, "Nocturne") are compatible only with representatives of a similar element, i.e. quantum damage type. In cooperation with other DPS characters, some of the distributed increases will not be fully realized.
The heroine's main feature is an increase in existing skill points and their restoration during battle. "The Klutz" can fully satisfy the most "gluttonous" DPS heroes (for example, qingque, which has a “capricious” mechanic for selecting “Jade Bones”).	The bonus from the skill "Dream Floater" lasts for one turn, therefore, in order to constantly maintain the increase in critical damage, it is important for the klutz to always use the skill.

Best Sparkle Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The girl is unique, because she not only affects the increase of critical damage and overall DPS, but also restores skill points, and increases their total during the battle. Dealing damage is not a priority for her: ideally, the klutz should constantly distribute bonuses, only occasionally being distracted by the use of a basic attack.

As a result, the assembly of Sparkle in XSR is based on pumping up the following characteristics:

• Crete. damage — the higher this indicator, the stronger the bonus imposed by the skill;
• energy recovery rate — affects the accumulation of energy for superpowers;
• speed - offers the opportunity to walk more often;
• effect resistance — It is extremely undesirable for Spark to “stand idle” while under the influence of negative statuses that delay or postpone moves.

Recommended Specs

Key indicators that are recommended to look for in relics:

Head	HP (permanent)
Arms	Attack Power (Permanent)
Body	Crete. damage
Legs	Speed
planar sphere	HP
Connecting rope	Energy recovery

Additional characteristics that require mandatory development:

• Crete. damage;
• speed;
• resistance to effects;
• HP or defense is a situational option.

The optimal totals that are recommended to have on the character:

1. Crete. damage: from 175% (ideally, increase to 200% or higher).
2. Energy recovery rate: from 120% and above.
3. Health: from 3 – 500 units.
4. DEF: from 1 units.
5. Status Resistance: from 30%.

Value speeds, in turn, depends on the girl’s role in the squad:

• The preferred value is at 1 or 2 units less, than the speed of the main damage dealer in the team, that is, for example, if the speed of the supposed Argenti is 134 units, then the heroine's indicator should be 132-133 units. Thus, at the beginning of the battle, Argenti will make a move, and then, under the influence of bonuses from the blockhead, will carry out another attack, but of an enhanced type (that is, under positive effects)
• Alternative option - 160+ units speed, which turn the unit into a so-called "hypercarry ". This option is acceptable if the main DPS character in the squad has a base speed value (the indicator is not modified by equipping speed boots, etc. due to higher priority indicators). Thus, the girl will directly contribute to the strengthening of the main damage dealer with her own skills and will be able to advance his action twice per battle cycle, thereby significantly influencing the outgoing damage figures.

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon, it is important that it matches its class affiliation, that is, belongs to Ways of Harmony. Otherwise, the main effect light cone will not be active. Features to look out for:

• Crete. damage;
• energy recovery rate;
• speed.

What relics and decorations are needed

Relics should increase her key parameters: energy recovery, speed, effect resistanceand Crete. damage whenever possible. Quantum damage or attack power bonuses are useless to the klutz, as she is a full-fledged character who focuses solely on applying positive bonuses during combat.

Squad Guide for Iskorka in HSR

Sparkle's role in the team is a full-fledged in the second or third position. Given the range of features and advantages of the klutz compared to other representatives of Harmony, one can come to the conclusion that she will be able to offer good synergy with many followers of damage-dealing Paths.

Which characters are suitable?

The table shows the heroes with whom the heroine plays best.

Examples of the best teams

With the characters presented above, the following squads can be formed:

Armor or Sparkle - who is better? Character comparison

Since the legendary representatives have similar bonuses from their main skills, the question arises: is it so important to have Sparkle for an if the character collection already includes the Supreme Guardian of Belobog? In order to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of each, it is worth considering the two heroines of Harmony in more detail in comparison with each other.

First of all, let’s outline the “pluses” of the distributed positive effects:

Sparkle Bonuses (E0)	Armor Bonuses (E0)
ATK: 15% with no duration limit (additional 45% if party consists exclusively of Quantum damage types).	ATK: 33-66% of superpower, effect lasts 2 turns. Additionally, it can give an increase of 15% at the beginning of the battle if you activate the technique (the effect lasts 2 turns).
Percentage bonus to outgoing damage: 9-22.5% due to the activation of the talent “Distraction”, the effect lasts 2 turns (during the battle - a constant effect due to the peculiarities of the talent). Additionally, it is capable of increasing the percentage increase by activating a superpower (by 6-12% for each level of the “Cipher” status). The main advantage is that the bonus applies to all allies.	Percentage bonus to outgoing damage: 33-82.5% thanks to the “Combat Redeployment” skill, the effect lasts 1 turn. The main drawback is that the bonus only applies to one ally chosen to use the skill. However, thanks to the trail, "Military Power" is able to maintain a constant positive effect on the increase in damage by 10% if the heroine is on the battlefield.
Crete. damage: from 90%, provided that the critical damage rate is 200%. The effect lasts for 1 turn.	Crete. damage: from 50%, provided that the critical damage indicator is 200%. The effect lasts for 2 turns.
Action Promotion: 50%, that is, there is a chance that the character will not be able to make a move again before the action of the previous opponent.	Action Promotion: 100%.
Efficiency: 100% effective. The main bonuses affect not only the main DPS character of the team, but also other allies. There is no limitation on the duration of buffs.	Efficiency: Less effective in comparison, as most of the bonuses are focused on the main DPS character of the team (one hero). The rest are content with the rare increases from the super ability.

Regarding the total number of positive statuses:

1. Sparkle (mono-quantum squad) - 186% efficiency in the future.
2. Armor - 183% effective in the future.
3. Sparkle (squad with characters of different damage types) - 166% effectiveness in the future.

However, it is important to understand that the percentages presented above are “approximate” and depend on a number of specific factors that must be taken into when comparing the two heroines, namely:

• During combat, Bronya maintains the bulk of her bonuses on one chosen character, which reduces her effectiveness when pitting the supreme guardian against a masked klutz. Simply put, if there are two damage-dealing Paths in the party, Bronya is like a Harmony heroine. will lose badly due to the fact that it cannot offer bonuses to attack power and outgoing damage to all party .
• Sparkle only advances the action by 50%, while Armor offers an instant action after using its own skill. However, the "klutz" in the mask gets bоA big plus is that it can be done on a permanent basis restore such an important resource for turn-based combat as "skill points". In addition, their total number during the battle is increasing, which can significantly simplify combat with the enemy and, accordingly, offers more attractive variability in actions.

Is it worth knocking out?

The Masked Klutz is a versatile and unique character in the Path of Harmony who offers a variety of buffs to the party. Her main feature is a powerful recovery of skill points, as well as an increase in their total number. As a legendary heroine, the "Klutz" is completely undemanding in of equipment.

Signature Light Cone or additional constellations will undoubtedly significantly enhance her "" capabilities, but they are completely unnecessary for comfortable combat. Among the weapon "cards" you can find decent epic or rare options, and many cave relics are perfectly worn in a 2x2 combination. If you have long needed a good hero, the girl will cope with the task perfectly: thanks to her skills, she "covers" any needs for and can thus provide a slot for either another damage dealer or a debuffer hero.

If the question arises, which character will be better combined with such “voracious” DPS heroes as qingque, then the answer is obvious - it's Sparkle and only her. And again, the main advantage is the ability to restore skill points and offer an increased amount of them during the battle.
