Sparkle is a 5-Star Quantum character aligned with the Harmony Path in Honkai: Star Rail. Introduced in version 2.0, Sparkle brings a powerful support role to Quantum teams and beyond. Although she is featured in version 2.4’s Sparkling Splendor Banner, she is expected to return in future banner rotations, giving players more opportunities to add her to their roster.
If you’re planning to pull for Sparkle and want to be ready, it’s essential to gather her Ascension and Trace materials in advance. Here’s a detailed look at her skill set, progression items, and Eidolons.
Sparkle’s Abilities and Combat Role
Sparkle excels at enhancing team-wide damage and supplying additional Skill Points, making her an ideal fit for coordinated damage-focused teams—especially those composed of Quantum characters.
Core Stats and Info:
-
Element: Quantum
-
Path: The Harmony
-
Rarity: 5-Star
Basic Attack – Monodrama:
Deals Quantum DMG equal to 50% of Sparkle’s ATK to a single enemy.
Skill – Dreamdiver:
Increases a chosen ally’s Crit DMG by 12% of Sparkle’s Crit DMG, plus an additional 27%, for one turn. It also advances the target’s action by 50%. When used on herself, the action advancement does not apply.
Ultimate – The Hero with a Thousand Faces:
Restores 4 Skill Points for the team and grants all allies the “Cipher” effect. When Cipher is active and an ally triggers Sparkle’s Talent boost, an extra 6% boost is applied per stack, lasting for two turns.
Talent – Red Herring:
While Sparkle is on the field, the team’s Skill Point cap increases by 2. Every time an ally uses a Skill Point, all allies receive a 3% damage increase for two turns. This can stack up to three times.
Technique – Unreliable Narrator:
Applies “Misdirect” to all allies for 20 seconds. While under this status, characters are undetectable by enemies. Initiating battle under Misdirect instantly restores 3 Skill Points for the team.
