Ready to build Sparkle, a member of the Masked Fools and a woman with countless masks and faces? Look no further as we’ll introduce her best build!
This Honkai: Star Rail guide will inform you about the best build for Sparkle, a Masked Fool who lives for her amusement. This includes her Light Cones, Relics, Traces, Eidolons, and Team Composition.
Updated on March 26, 2024: This page has been updated to ensure that the light cones and relics are still optimal for Sparkle.
Sparkle is a Harmony Quantum 5-star character who fills the support role really well. Her skill focuses on increasing the CRIT Damage of one of her allies in battle and advances their action forward. She’s also unique as she increases the number of skill points available for the team.
Best Light Cones for Sparkle
Sparkle is possibly one of the best single-target buff support characters in Honkai: Star Rail. It’s important to note that Sparkle’s “Dreamdiver” skill, which increases the CRIT DMG, is based on her own CRIT DMG. Thus, here are the best 5-star and 4-star options for her:
Best 5-Star Light Cones
Earthly Escapade
Sparkle’s 5-star signature Light Cone would be the best as it increases her CRIT DMG. Not only that, but at the start of the battle, she would gain Mask, which lasts for 3 turns. Her allies would have their CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG increased. For each skill point recovered, they also gain Radiant Flame. Once reaching 4 Radiant Flames, these are removed and gain Mask for 4 turns.
But the Battle Isn’t Over
This is Bronya’s Signature Light Cone, but you can definitely use it on Sparkle if you don’t have her light cone. This increases her energy regen rate by a percentage and regenerates 1 Skill Point when using her Ultimate. Basically, adding more skill points for the team. Not only that, but the next ally taking action would deal more DMG.
Best 4-Star Light Cones
Past and Future
The F2P-friendly choice for Light Cone. Whenever she uses her Skill, the next ally taking action would deal with increased DMG for 1 turn. You’ll have to be mindful of the turn order for this.
Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds
Another F2P player-friendly option is the “Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds” Light Cone, which would randomly increase one of the following: allies’ ATK, CRIT DMG, or Energy Regeneration Rate.
Planetary Rendezvous
This Light Cone increases the DMG dealt of an ally with the same DMG type as her after entering a battle. This would be an option for a Mono-Quantum team with Sparkle.
Best Relics for Sparkle
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace
The best Cavern Relic set to run on Sparkle is a 4-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace. This would increase her SPD by 6%. When she uses her Ultimate on an ally, all allies’ SPD will increase by 12% for 1 turn.
Broken Keel
As for the Planar Ornaments, it’s best to go with the Broken Keel. This would increase her Effect RES, and when her Effect RES reaches 30% or higher, it would increase her allies’ CRIT DMG.
Penacony, Land of Dreams (Mono-Quantum)
For a Mono-Quantum team, you could opt for the Penacony, Land of Dreams Planar Ornament set as it increases Sparkle’s Energy Regeneration Rate and the DMG of allies of the same type as her.
These are the ideal main stats:
| Relic | Main Stat |
| Body | CRIT DMG |
| Feet | SPD |
| Planar Sphere | HP% or DEF% |
| Link Rope | Energy Regen Rate |
For her sub-stats, it’s best to get as much CRIT DMG as possible, as her Skill heavily relies on it. Other than that, focus on getting SPD, HP%, and Effect RES or DEF%.
Optimal Trace Levels for Sparkle
Trailblazers should have the Trace Level for Sparkle’s Talent, Ultimate, and Skill at Level 8. You could ignore her Basic ATK if you don’t have enough resources.
Best Eidolons for Sparkle
These are the go-to Eidolons to get for Sparkle when you can:
E1 – The Cipher effect granted by her Ultimate lasts for one extra turn. All allies with Cipher have their attack increased by 40%.
E2 – Every stack of the Talent’s effect allows allies to additionally ignore 8% of the opponent’s DEF when dealing DMG.
E6 – CRIT DMG Boost effect of her Skill additionally increases by 30% of her CRIT DMG. When her Skill is used, it is also applied to all allies with Cipher. When using her Ultimate, any single ally receiving her Skill’s boost will spread it to allies with Cipher.
Best Team Compositions for Sparkle
Sparkle would mostly fit well in any casual DPS team, but these are some of the best ways to use her. It’s good to have DPS characters who require a lot of skill points, such as Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae.
Hypercarry DPS Team with Sparkle
Dan Heng IL
Swappable DPS
Jing Yuan
Swappable DPS
Bronya
Support
Huo Huo
Healer
Mono-Quantum Team
Seele
Swappable DPS
Qingque
Swappable DPS
Xueyi
Swappable DPS
Silver Wolf
Quantum Weakness
Applier | Debuff
Fu Xuan
Shielder
While Sparkle is quite flexible regarding team builds, it’s still best to avoid putting her in DoT teams as they don’t directly benefit from CRIT DMG.
As for the Mono-Quantum team, you’ll need Silver Wolf to keep applying the Quantum weakness to enemies. Sparkle could then continuously boost the chosen DPS, with Fu Xuan handling all the damage the team received.
Sparkle is a fantastic asset due to her buffs to her allies. Pair her with the right light cone, relics, and team composition, and you’ll surely kick your way out of battles!
