She is a dangerous master of theatrical art, absorbed in playing various roles.

Biography of Twilight in Honkai: Star Rail

Twilight from Honkai: Star Rail is one of the members of the Masked Klutzes faction operating in Penaconia. She is a bright and unpredictable master of theatrical art who perfectly plays any role. The girl’s peculiarity is the possession of many masks, which allow her to take on different appearances. Wealth, status, power - all these worldly and base things are not important to the baby. The only thing that captivates her and makes her wake up day after day is nothing more than “entertainment.”

This fact is also confirmed by the description in the “Memory” depicted on the signature Light cone heroine: “Like festive fireworks, her face changes dozens of colors in a minute. As the fireworks end, she watches the scattering crowd from her elevated position. One after another, thoughts appear and disappear, and a sly shine every now and then illuminates the gaze, like a multi-colored kaleidoscope. She skips through the crowd - her red-gold tail flashes here and there. Don’t disperse, the brightest fireworks will start soon!”

The development of Twilight's storyline can be found in her companion mission "Waltz at the Masquerade", which is closely related to Black Swan.

Features

The basic characteristics that increase with the pumping and elevation of Sparkle are health, defense and attack power. The exact values ​​of each parameter depending on the heroine’s level are presented in the table:

Indicators such as speed and taunt do not change with character leveling.

Twilight's main skills

Sparkle's skills allow the girl to compete with another representative of the Path of Harmony Armor, which since the release of the game has occupied a high position in dash list, being a standard legendary character. Thanks to its class affiliation, the “klutz” helps allies with crit buffs. damage and total % of outgoing damage, thereby significantly strengthening the team. Such bonuses become especially relevant in the later stages of the game when completing high-level content: Memories "Hall of Oblivion", Mirov "virtual universe" and Nodes "Pure Fiction".

The main feature of Sparkle is skill point recovery during the battle. The mechanics partially repeat the functions of the epic heroine Chania, however, the replenishing properties of the legendary “klutz” are many times more effective. In addition, the girl knows how to promote the actions of allies forward: the ability is somewhat inferior to the capabilities of Armor, which has 100% advancement from the skill, however, in combination with other proposed bonuses in the future, the heroine from the “Masked Klutzes” faction demonstrates great benefits. Next, we’ll take a closer look at how Sparkle’s skills work, and we’ll also look at the order in which it’s best to level them up.

Active skills

• Technique "Unreliable Narrator" || Support

After using the technique, all allies receive the “Entangle” status, which lasts 20 seconds. While Entangle is active, characters cannot be detected by enemies. Entering battle with the “Entangle” status active, in turn, restores 3 points. squad skills.

Using a technique imposes a status on all allies "Entanglement": Characters under the influence of the named buff cannot be detected by the enemy, which can be useful if you are guaranteed to start the battle with an additional advantage during turns, ignoring a possible “Ambush”. Entering battle with the "Entangle" status active restores skill points squad - recommended for use if the main characters of the group need timely use of skills to fully realize their own power.

• Basic Attack "One Actress Theater" || Single attack

Deals Quantum Damage to the target enemy equal to 50-130% from the strength of Twilight's attack.

Deals a small % of quantum damage to the selected enemy.

• Emboldening Salvo "Floating in Dreams" || Support

Increases crit. target ally's damage by 12-30% from crit. Twilight's damage (plus 27-54%) for 1 turn and advances its action forward by 50%.
When this skill is used on Twilight herself, her effect does not advance.

Increases crit. damage to the selected ally and advances their action forward. Needs constant activation due to the limited effect of the boost (only 1 turn), and accordingly, it becomes one of the most “gluttonous” skills for the squad, which can force strict rotation during turn-based battles.

• Superpower "Heroine of a Thousand Faces" || Support

Restores 4 points. squad skills and imposes the “Cipher” status on all allies. Each ally with this status increases the damage dealt by Twilight's talent by 6-12% for each level of effect for 2 turns.

Restores the squad's skill points and further enhances the damage increase effect described in Sparkle's talent.

Passive skills

• Talent "Red Herring" || Support

When Twilight is on the battlefield, max. the squad's number of skill points increases by 2. Each skill point used by an ally increases the damage dealt by all allies by 3-7,5%. This effect lasts 2 turns and can stack up to 3 times.

Increases max. number of squad skill points up to 7 (the base number of available action points during a battle is 5). Each time an ally takes an action that costs Pt. skills, the damage done by all teammates increases.

The procedure for leveling up Sparkle's abilities

Emboldening Salvo "Floating in Dreams" and superpower “Heroine of a Thousand Faces” are the highest priority skills that will provide great support 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

Twilight's Footprints:

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

Eidolons [Constellations]

All constellations of Sparkle:

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 quickly deal with elite opponents and bosses as part of high-level content. In cooperation with a representative of the Path of Non-existence Peloy, which is equipped light cone “Determination shines like pearls of sweat”, and also when there is a DPS character wearing an artifact set "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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Sparkle

Having understood how Sparkle's skills work, we can conclude about the advantages and disadvantages of the quantum representative of the Path of Harmony:

Best builds for Sparkle in Honkai: Star Rail

Sparkle is a unique representative of the Path of Harmony, which not only affects the increase in crit. damage and overall DPS, but also restores skill points and increases their total number 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. You shouldn’t expect colossal damage figures from the heroine, since this goes beyond the scope of her general “support” functionality.

The build for Sparkle is based on building 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.

Next, we will tell you how to collect Sparkle in Honkai: Star Rail. Let's imagine the optimal value of the characteristics, also consider the best artifacts and light cones.

Recommended characteristic values

Key indicators that are recommended to look for in Relics:

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%.

Optimal value speeds, in turn, depends on Sparkle’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 same indicator for Sparkle should be equal to 132-133 units. Thus, at the beginning of the battle, Argenti will make a move, and then, under the influence of bonuses from the “klutz,” he will carry out another attack, but of an enhanced type (that is, under positive effects)
• Alternative option - 160+ units speed, which turn the heroine into the so-called “hypercarry Sparkle”. This option is acceptable if the main DPS character in the squad has a basic speed value (the indicator is not modified by equipping boots for speed, etc. due to higher priority indicators). Thus, Sparkle will directly contribute to strengthening the main damage dealer with her own skills and will be able to advance his action twice during the battle cycle, thereby significantly influencing the outgoing damage figures.

Best Light Cones [Weapons]

When choosing a weapon for Sparkle, it is important that it matches her class affiliation, that is, it relates to Ways of Harmony. Otherwise, the main effect light cone will not be active. Characteristics that, in turn, are worth paying attention to:

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

light cone	Effect	Recommendation
Worldly pranks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 52-1164 ATK 24-529 DEF 21-463	Increases crit. damage per 32-60%. At the beginning of the battle, the wearer of the weapon “card” is assigned the “Mask” status, which lasts for 3 turns. When the hero is under the influence of the “Mask” effect, crit. the chance of all allies increases by 10-14%, and crit. damage - by 28-56%. When a character restores a skill point (skill points exceeding the limit are taken into account), he receives 1 lvl. "Shining Flame" charge. Upon reaching level 4. charge, “Shining Flame” is replaced by the “Mask” effect, which lasts for the next 4 turns.	Twilight's signature Light Cone, which offers a noticeable boost to personal crit. damage (affects the power of bonuses distributed by the heroine). Additionally, it provides passive bonuses to combat characteristics due to the “Mask” status, which will be useful for most damage dealers. It can be called an ideal option for a “klutz”, which will only strengthen her in the position of a support character.
But the Battle Isn't Over ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 52-1164 ATK 24-529 DEF 21-463	Energy recovery rate increases by 10-18%. When the owner uses a superpower on an ally, they regain 1 skill point (this effect can only trigger once per two uses of the superpower). After the hero activates a skill, the damage of an ally performing an action behind him increases by 30-50% for 1 turn.	A Light Cone that can be purchased for 600 Everlasting Starlight. Provides a bonus to the speed of energy recovery: the higher this parameter, the faster Sparkle will be able to accumulate energy to activate her ultimate skill. In addition, passively restores 1 point. actions after using a superpower, which can be useful in squads where the main DPS character is especially “voracious” for skill points (for example, Dan Heng: Moon Eater). The only nuance lies in the second part of the “Successor” passive effect: for the full implementation of the weapon “card” skill, it is extremely important that the main damage dealer in the team performs the action immediately after Sparkle. Otherwise, you may lose the additional bonus to increase outgoing damage.
Date with the stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 19-423 DEF 15-330	At the start of combat, when an ally deals damage of the same type as the Weapon Card's bearer's attack type, their damage dealt increases by 12-24%.	An epic "card" as a 4-star alternative that will be extremely effective if Twilight is in a group with a DPS character of a similar element (quantum damage type). Thus, with the help of "Rendezvous with the Stars", the heroine will further increase the quantum damage he inflicts.
Fleeting night lights ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-953 ATK 28-635 DEF 21-463	The bearer of the light cone receives level 1. Cantillation every time any ally makes an attack. Every level “Cantillation” increases the energy recovery rate of a hero equipped with a weapon “card” by 3-5% — this effect can stack up to 5 times. When the wielder uses a superpower, the Cantillation effect is replaced with the Cadence condition. "Cadence" increases the attack power of the wearer character by 48-96%, and the damage dealt by allies is reduced by 24-40%. The duration of the effect is 1 turn.	A good option that will significantly increase the damage of all allies for one turn after the heroine performs her ultimate. Twilight doesn't need attack power from weapons, but with Cantillation active, hitting her teammates' enemies will speed up the recovery of her superpower. If you reach an extremely high speed value, it may be more difficult to use the bonus.
Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	At the beginning of the battle, as well as at the beginning of the weapon bearer’s turn, 1 random effect from the following is triggered: The attack power of all allies increases by 10-20%; Crete. the damage of all allies increases by 12-24%; The energy recovery rate of all allies increases by 6-12%. The bonus replaces the previous effect and cannot be the same as the previous effect. Boosts of this type cannot stack and are removed when the hero who is equipped with the cone of light becomes unable to fight.	A more versatile epic quality option that can be purchased at BP "Honor of the Nameless". Offers random buffs during battle that will last until Twilight's next turn: after Twilight's next action, the bonus will change. The only recommendation when playing with the Light Cone in question is that it is important to monitor the current gains and try to use the superpower of damage dealers with a characteristic that is beneficial to them.
The Bloom of Youth ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Passively increases the equipped character's attack power by 16-32%. If there are two or more heroes of the same Path at the beginning of the battle, their crit. damage increases by 16-32%. This bonus cannot stack with buffs of this type.	The Epic Light Cone of Banners will not give Twilight any stats that matter to her, but will increase the critical damage of two teammates even more if the conditions for activating the bonus are met. Selecting this weapon requires a certain group composition.
Adventures of Grezaville ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	After the owner uses a basic attack, skill, or superpower, he applies the Childish status to all allies. This status increases the damage dealt by an ally's corresponding skill by 12-20%. The Childish status only works with the owner's last used skill, and it cannot stack.	F2P weapon from the Light Cone Passage store, which can be purchased for 200 Radiant Reflection. Gives a good bonus to increase damage dealt, but has a specific implementation: Sparkle and the main damage dealer must adhere to a similar rotation. Throughout the battle, the girl often uses the skill, so most often the buff will apply to this skill. Therefore, main DPS should also rely on skill rather than basic attack.
Past and Future ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	After the owner of the skill uses the damage of an ally performing an action behind him, the damage increases by 16-32% for 1 turn.	The weapon "card" is relatively similar to the legendary "Battle Is Not Over" Light Cone: it also forces you to make sure that the main DPS hero of the party takes an action immediately after Twilight's turn. Not a bad option if the ones discussed above are missing, and there are also no problems with tracking the sequence of characters’ actions.
Dance! Dance! Dance! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	After using a Super, all allies' actions move forward by 16-24%.	A good option that offers bonus speed boosts to all allies in the squad: after using Twilight's super ability, the Light Cone will boost the actions of allies in the battle cycle and allow you to carry out an active offensive faster. If we compare the effectiveness of the “card” with the above-mentioned weapon “Past and Future”, then “Dance! Dance! Dance!" easier to use. However, in the future, the bonus to outgoing damage that the main damage dealer in the group can receive is a higher priority option than a percentage speed boost.
Chorus ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the beginning of the battle, the attack power of all allies increases by 8-12%. This effect cannot stack with effects of this type.	A rare quality Light Cone that can be upgraded to the maximum Overlay level in the early stages of the game. A good option from the “for the first time” category, since it affects the increase in attack power - an important characteristic for damage dealers.
Consonance ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the start of combat, all allies' speed is increased by 12-20 units for 1 turn.	A weapon “card” with a good, but unstable bonus that will only be valid for 1 turn. Can be used to replace the above-mentioned “Chorus” option at the initial stages of the game to clear “Sepals (crimson) and (golden)”.
interlocked gears ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	After the attack is used or received by the owner, it additionally restores 4-8 units energy. This effect can only trigger once per turn.	A “plug” in the absence of rare or epic alternatives, which will allow you to quickly accumulate energy for your ultimate skill.

Best Relics [Artifacts]

Relics for Sparkle should increase her key parameters: energy recovery, speed, effect resistanceand Crete. damage if possible. Quantum damage or attack power bonuses are useless for the “klutz”, since she is a full-fledged support character who, during the battle, concentrates exclusively on applying positive bonuses.

Cave Relics [Main Artifacts]

Set	Effect	Recommendation
The priest's thorny path	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 4 parts: Using a skill or super ability on an ally increases the skill target's crit damage by 18% for 2 turns. This effect can stack up to 2 times.	One of the most effective relic sets to support the main damage dealer. Since Sparkle is a strong support in hypercarry compositions, and her skill applies to one ally, she can easily implement the passive. Due to this, the heroine will provide an even greater increase in the critical rate of her DPS character.
Herald wandering in hacker space	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 4 parts: Increases the speed of all allies by 12% when the wearer of the set uses a super ability on a follower, for 1 turn. The effect does not stack.	A great set of Cave Relics for Path of Harmony heroes whose ultimate is applied to allies. Offers an additional boost to speeds - an important parameter that influences the location of heroes in the battle cycle, that is, the overall frequency of their moves.
Herald wandering in hacker space long-lived student Guard of Wuthering Snow	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 2 parts: Increases max. health indicator by 12%. 2 parts: Reduces damage taken by 8%.	Sets of the most suitable Cave parts in a 2x2 combination, which can be used as an alternative in the absence of a complete set discussed above with suitable characteristics. Blizzard Guardian in combination with Hackerspace Herald will be especially useful as it will increase Twilight's survivability along with speed.
Twilight Eagle OR Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases wind damage by 10%. 4 parts: After using a superpower, the wearer's action moves forward by 25%. OR 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the wearer's speed by 6%, also increases their basic attack damage by 10%.	Alternative options for Cave Relics for the character to equip complete set. In the first case, it is important to advance the action by 25% after activating the superpower, in the second - an additional increase in speed, acting as a replacement for the more popular “Messenger wandering in hacker space” set.

Planar Ornaments [Additional Artifacts]

Set	Effect	Recommendation
Dreamland Penaconia	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. Increases damage dealt by allies of the same type as the wearer of the set by 10%.	An ideal option for Sparkle if she is in a squad with a quantum element DPS character (Seele, qingque, Xueyi etc.). “Give” an increase in typical damage, which is not limited to moves - the bonus remains from the beginning to the end of the battle.
broken keel	2 parts: Increases resistance to effects by 10%. If the set carrier's resistance to the effects is greater than or equal to 30%, crit. The damage of all allies is increased by 10%.	Shares a high position on the list with Dreamland Penaconia as it offers an additional crit bonus. damage that will spread to allies when Sparkle reaches 30% resistance to effects. An excellent option in case the heroine acts as support for characters of a different (from quantum type of damage) element. Gaining a fixed amount of resistance to effects is quite simple: Traces offer 10%, a full set of Broken Keel offers another 10%. The remaining 10% is gained by leveling up secondary characteristics in artifacts.
Mermaid, sunken shores	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. If the owner is not in first place in the squad, the attack power of the character in first place increases by 12%.	A more versatile energy regeneration gear option, as it works not only in combination with quantum characters, but also with other elements. To effectively implement the attack power buff, you need to put the main DD first in the team, and Sparkle in any remaining free slot.
Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: Increases max. health reserve by 12%. If the wearer's speed is greater than or equal to 120, the attack power of all allies increases by an additional 8%.	A good alternative in case you don’t have the above presented sets of planar jewelry. Offers a bonus of 8% attack power to all allies. The only need is to get 120 units. speeds.
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. If the speed of the set carrier is higher than or equal to 120 units, then at the beginning of the battle his action moves forward by 40%.	By analogy with the set discussed below, it is considered a set that is equipped at the initial stages of mastering the game. Offers a small increase in the speed of energy recovery (the higher the indicator, the faster the ultimate skill will accumulate), additionally advances the action forward, which is useful for many representatives of the Path of Harmony who concentrate on applying bonuses from their main abilities immediately after entering battle.
Celestial Differentiator	2 parts: Increases crit. damage by 16%. If critical If the set carrier's damage is higher than or equal to 120%, then at the beginning of the battle his crit. the chance is increased by 60% until the end of his first attack.	A situational set that can be classified as “for the first time”, since it is obtained inside the early Worlds "virtual universe". Offers an additional boost to crit. damage, which determines the power of the bonus applied by the “Floating in Dreams” skill. Subsequently, at later stages of the game, it needs to be replaced with one of the alternatives discussed above.
Barren Sigonia	2 parts: Crete The owner's chance increases by 4%. Defeating an enemy increases crit. damage to the owner by 4%. This effect can stack up to 10 times.	The set with the highest increase in crit. Damage, which requires defeating opponents, kills by team members also count. The low position is explained by the small number of combat tests with a constant influx of enemies, where you can activate the set's passive. This set is worth considering when going through the updated "Pure Fiction", however, in other situations, decorations will need to be replaced with less situational options.

Squads for Sparkle

Sparkle in HSR is a character who is suitable exclusively for the role of a support hero in a squad. Considering the range of features and advantages of the “klutz” in comparison with other representatives of “Harmony”, we can come to the conclusion that it will be able to offer good synergy with many followers of the damaging Paths.

Best characters

The table shows the heroes with whom Sparkle plays best.

Character	Path	Damage type	Features
Phys. hero	Destruction	Physical	Deals good damage to the area and single targets, with a superpower it improves the basic attack and skill - the damage from skills will be higher. The technique restores part of the squad’s health, which can be useful during “closed” activities where it is impossible to use consumables.
jingliu	Destruction	Ice	After accumulating level 2. “Syzygy” enters the “Spectral Transmigration” state, in which it deals increased damage with the skill and also receives an increase in crit. chance (third-party increases in critical damage become more priority). An important nuance is that enhanced attacks consume part of the allies’ HP: with Jingliu, representatives of the Path of Abundance become especially important.
Blade	Destruction	Wind	“Plays” on HP costs, thereby increasing the damage from basic skills, including superpowers. Every time a character takes damage or uses up his own health, he gains lvl. “Charge”: upon reaching level 5. the swordsman carries out a powerful bonus attack by region.
Moon Eater	Destruction	Imaginary	A hypercarry, who consumes a huge amount of skill points during a battle, is all the more valuable to him by support heroes who can restore them.
Clara	Destruction	Physical	In the normal state, it counterattacks enemies every time it receives damage; under the influence of a superpower, it additionally attacks when enemies concentrate blows on allies. Mainly acts as a “tank”, dealing acceptable solo and AoE damage.
Yunli	Destruction	Physical	Main/sub DD that deals damage to multiple targets and provides additional survivability due to the “Taunt” debuff. Focuses on constantly performing a counterattack using talent and ultimate when receiving incoming damage.
Arlan	Destruction	Электрический	A budget damage dealer who consumes virtually no skill points during battle and primarily occupies a secondary slot. Needs a healer or shield worker - the damage increases in proportion to the HP expended: in order to inflict high damage, he is forced to maintain health at 50% or below. Like other DPS characters, he has a positive attitude towards various bonuses from “Harmony”.
Hook	Destruction	Fiery	Mainly acts as a secondary damage dealer, who “plays” from the ultimate skill and enhanced skill (also able to apply the periodic damage status “Burning”). In cooperation with a more powerful DPS hero, he cannot actively consume action points, but the presence of Sparkle can solve this problem.
Xueyi	Destruction	Quantum	An unusual representative of the Path of Destruction, which is collected through characteristics "penetration effect". Despite the class occupied, the main damage falls on single targets. To effectively break through the Fortitude bar, you must use a skill every turn, which makes it dependent on action points during battle.
Misha	Destruction	Ice	“Plays” from a superpower, the initial number of hits of which is 3 (maximum number is 10). To maximize the damage from the ultimate skill, he is forced to use the skill every turn, which can become a problem if Misha is not the only damage dealer in the squad. As with Hook, Sparkle can solve the problem with action points and provide an additional boost to crit. damage.
Aglaia	Memory	Электрический	Summons the Seamstress to the battlefield - a spirit of memory, which has a personal icon within the action scale, a set of its own active skills, in addition, it can be healed, protected and attacked from the outside. Mainly plays from the superpower: in the "Higher Form" state, it receives wild increases in speed and transforms the basic attack into an enhanced one. In general, it is focused not only on single enemy targets, but is also capable of inflicting mass damage.
Pioneer	Memory	Ice	Great support even for those characters that don't have summon mechanics (i.e. spirit of memory): Increases allies' critical damage, advances the action, and deals additional true-type damage.
Seele	Hunting	Quantum	The best representative of the quantum element, which effectively deals with single opponents. The bonuses offered by Sparkle will be extremely useful to “Butterfly”: an increase in crit. damage and damage is a nice asset for any DPS character, and the action promotion is a nice benefit that will only solidify Zele as a top damage dealer. In addition, he will receive from support bоa greater increase in attack power due to the Nocturne Trail, since it has a similar type of damage.
Feixiao	Hunting	Wind	How a damage dealer benefits a lot from buffs — all the buffs provided by the klutz will make Feixiao's gameplay more comfortable and consistent. Especially useful is the action progression, as it will allow you to deal more damage, and therefore gain more charge "Winged Beast".
Topaz and the Accountant	Hunting	Fiery	The basis of the girl’s damage is the piggy bank of space, whose strikes are considered bonus attacks. Increase to crit. the damage from Sparkle's skill will be increased by the outgoing damage, and the promotion of the action will allow you to attack more often and, thus, quickly accumulate energy to activate a superpower that strengthens the Accountant.
Doctor Ratio	Hunting	Imaginary	Dr. Ratio's main need is weakening: the more negative statuses affect the enemy, the more often his bonus attack from the talent is activated. However, the positive effects from Harmony will be no less useful. Especially the promotion of the action, which will allow you to perform additional strikes and therefore crush enemies faster.
Boothill	Hunting	Physical	The Cyborg Cowboy plays from a special Duel state, during which he receives various enhancements. For this reason, it is important for him to remain in this mode as long as possible. Sparkle will not only move the action forward, but will also provide additional skill points and buffs, which will make character rotation more comfortable.
Yanqing	Hunting	Ice	Yanqing’s peculiarity lies in the “Empathic Connection” status: while this effect affects the character, he receives noticeable increases in combat characteristics such as crit. damage and crit. hit. In fact, the hero independently strengthens himself during the battle, but third-party gains are welcomed by him in the same way as other damage dealers.
Dan Heng	Hunting	Wind	A free character who performs well even at the later stages of mastering the game, during the passage of high-level content. He has powerful skills and superpowers that allow him to quickly deal with single opponents.
Sushan	Hunting	Physical	An equally attractive character of epic rarity, who effectively breaks through the physical resistance of opponents and inflicts acceptable damage. After activating the ultimate skill, it performs a second action, which is useful in protracted battles with bosses and other elite enemies.
Rappa	Erudition	Imaginary	A damage dealer who plays from penetration and specializes in depleting enemy durability while dealing consistent AoE damage to all enemies on the battlefield with the enhanced basic attack gained from the ultimate. Benefits from the buffs provided by Sparkle such as action advancement, increased overall damage, attack power, and skill point recovery.
Greater Hertha	Erudition	Ice	The outstanding scientist deals devastating damage when using her enhanced skill and superpower, and due to her mechanic's features, she needs another hero of the Path of Erudition. However, considering that she is also the backbone of the party, she will benefit from additional support from the Harmony character, as this will allow her to deal damage even more effectively.
Jing Yuan	Erudition	Электрический	The main feature of the general is the summoned Lightning Lord, which has its own turn in the battle cycle. Thanks to Jing Yuan's actions, the Lightning Lord increases the number of his strikes: he is able to quickly deal with ordinary enemies, as well as inflict a high percentage of damage on a single target.
Jasper	Erudition	Quantum	A secondary DPS character who prefers to fight against groups of enemies: the number of opponents on the battlefield directly determines the rate of accumulation of charge levels, which allow you to perform bonus attacks. As a skill, assigns an allied character as a “Debt Collector,” which additionally increases his speed by 30 units. When Debt Collector makes an attack, it deals quantum damage equal to Jasper's attack power to each enemy it hits. At the same time, the Debt Collector spends 2% of its max. NR.
Argenti	Erudition	Physical	An unusual follower of the Path of Erudition, who has two types of superpowers: normal and enhanced. During battle, he increases his combat potential thanks to Traces, but does not shy away from representatives of the Path of Harmony - any bonuses that increase the knight’s effectiveness as a damage dealer are welcome.
Himeko	Erudition	Fiery	The heroine of the fire element, who acts as a secondary DPS character. She has powerful skills and superpowers, and is also capable of striking out of turn thanks to her talent.
Hertha	Erudition	Ice	A free character whose eidolons can be obtained as a reward for completing Worlds "virtual universe". Demonstrates itself perfectly during battles with crowds of enemies (especially effective within the framework of activity "Pure fiction"). Shows less attractive results against the boss.
Serval	Erudition	Электрический	Considered to be the epic counterpart to Jing Yuan. Mainly plays from the DoT status “Shock”, as well as a powerful superpower that deals high area damage. Quickly deals with ordinary enemies, often taking the position of an additional damage dealer.
qingque	Erudition	Quantum	A powerful representative of the Path of Erudition, who is not inferior to Zela in terms of damage. Effective due to mass attacks, also good against single targets. It has a rather unique and unusual gameplay in general, based on the selection of “Jade Bones”.
Welt	Nihility	Imaginary	Delays the actions of opponents by imposing the negative status “Conclusion”. He has high AoE damage, which allows him to act as a main or secondary DPS character.
Fugue	Nihility	Fiery	It is a debuffer that is aimed at supporting squads focused on depleting the enemy's stamina bar. It increases the penetration effect, allows you to ignore vulnerabilities and further reduces the defense of enemies thanks to the negative status "Fox's Prayer". In addition, it is capable of independently inflicting good damage with its ultimate and enhanced basic attack.
Kafka	Nihility	Электрический	The queen of DoT statuses, who can “explode” the effects of periodic damage with the help of her ultimate skill. The main skills, in turn, are engaged in the spread of “Shock”. There is practically no need for additional increases in the form of crits, since the main combat characteristic for a hunter is attack power. However, she will be glad to promote her own moves from the outside, as well as other advantages of Sparkle.
Silver Wolf	Nihility	Quantum	In addition to imposing various debuffs on defense, attack power and speed, it can make the enemy vulnerable to the type of damage of one of the allies. The presence of Sparkle, in turn, opens up access to the creation of a full-fledged quantum squad, which is not deprived of representatives of the Paths of Non-existence, Harmony and Conservation/Abundance.
Black Swan	Nihility	Wind	Similar to Kafka, he “plays” from DoT statuses. The special feature of the superpower, in turn, is the “Revelation” status, which increases all damage received by the target for 2 turns.
Acheron	Nihility	Электрический	Mainly plays in a squad with 2 heroes of the Path of Oblivion – this is necessary to get the full buff from the trail "Abyss". The situation changes only with E2, which allows you to take one ally of Nothingness and thereby frees up a slot for Harmony. However, it is worth noting that in practice, Sparkle is the only support that can at least partially compensate for the lack of bonus damage for Acheron E0.
Jiaoqiu	Nihility	Fiery	A powerful representative of the Nothingness, whose skills are aimed at applying the “Hot Ash” weakening (considered the DoT status “Burning”, which causes periodic damage of the fire type). Enemies affected by Burning Ash take increased damage. The superpower, in turn, inflicts a high level of damage and also imposes a third-party debuff that increases the damage taken by opponents from ultimate DPS-type skills.
Luke	Nihility	Physical	Concentrates on applying the periodic damage status “Bleeding”, additionally increases the damage received by the enemy and penetrates physical resistance well.
Guinaifen	Nihility	Fiery	“Fire” analogue of the Bow: focused on the spread of “Burning”, it is also capable of triggering the negative effect “Fiery Kiss”, which slightly increases the % of damage received by the enemy.
sang	Nihility	Ice	One of the best representatives of the Path of Non-existence, which massively reduces defense.
Sampo	Nihility	Wind	Inflicts the Weathering status, which deals damage over time. The technique is capable of blinding enemies: when entering battle, their action will be delayed.
Fu Xuan	Preservation	Quantum	A universal representative of her class: she does not apply shields, like other followers of the Path of Conservation, but redirects most of the damage to herself, thereby protecting her allies. Passively heals and also offers crit boosts. chance and health.
Aventurine	Preservation	Imaginary	Places shields and during the battle, renews them after activating a superpower, as well as performing a bonus attack. Virtually no demands on skill points. In addition to providing protective functions, it helps the squad with damage. The ideal squad for a character is the cooperation of several heroes who can perform a bonus attack. In other teams he is just as good, but takes bonus shots a little less often.
Cheetah	Preservation	Ice	A powerful shield fighter that can protect all allies from damage. Units with it often do not need healers, since with proper leveling and sufficient energy recovery, the commander of the Silvermane Guardians can maintain shields on a permanent basis.
Fire. hero	Preservation	Fiery	Acts as a “tank” that concentrates the attention of enemies on itself. Unable to adequately support his party members: a weakly assembled team may need a healer.
March 7	Preservation	Ice	Can act both as a defender and as a secondary damage dealer due to his predisposition to carry out counterattacks. The shield covers only one ally, and if his health is above 30%, his likelihood of being attacked by opponents increases.
Bailu	Abundance	Электрический	A representative of the Path of Abundance, whose main feature is the ability to resurrect: she can resurrect a fallen ally once per battle (if there are 6 eidolons - twice). Heals well with active skills, and also passively affects the improvement of the squad’s survivability. The only downside is that it can’t remove debuffs.
Locha	Abundance	Imaginary	Places a Magic Circle on the battlefield that restores allies' health every time they attack enemies. Additionally, he can act as a secondary DPS hero, dealing damage by activating his superpower and basic attack.
Hoho	Abundance	Wind	He is a universal support character: he not only heals, but also restores energy and increases attack power after using an ultimate skill.
Linsha	Abundance	Fiery	A support with a variety of functions: heals, deals area damage and applies a weakening that increases damage from penetration. During combat, summons an assistant, which is a bonus attack. Due to this creature, it additionally heals, deals damage outside of the turn and removes debuffs.
Lynx	Abundance	Quantum	One of the best followers of the Path of Abundance for some heroes of “Preservation” and “Destruction”, since the skill can increase the chance of those being attacked. The main advantage as a support character, in turn, is that the superpower removes weakening from all allies.
Gallagher	Abundance	Fiery	A unique representative of the healer class, whose healing depends on the negative status “Dead Drunk” imposed on enemies. Attacks against opponents with this status restore health to allies. The skill set also includes an instant healing skill.
Natasha	Abundance	Physical	A free healer who restores health and removes various negative statuses through the use of a skill, and deals good damage with a basic attack.

Top Teams

With the characters presented above, you can create the following squads for Sparkle:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Seele	Silver Wolf	Sparkle	Fu Xuan	A quantum squad supported by Fu Xuan, who redirects some of the damage to herself, heals and gives boosts to certain combat characteristics. Silver Wolf is responsible for applying debuffs, making the enemy vulnerable to the quantum element if necessary. Twilight is a support hero whose buffs belong to Zela as the main damage dealer.
Any DPS hero	ruan mei	Sparkle	Fu Xuan	One of the strongest squads in the future, where each of the support heroines complements each other, and the selected representative of the damage-dealing Path receives the maximum number of bonuses. The sparkle affects the progress of the action and additionally increases crit. damage and general damage. Ruan Mei affects the effectiveness of penetration, increases speed (which is also useful for Spark), and also gives an increase to outgoing DPS. Fu Xuan plays in the position of a defender, capable of offering an additional crit boost. blow. However, if the soothsayer is not in the collection of heroes, she can be safely replaced with any other support of the Path of Abundance or Preservation.
Xueyi qingque	Silver Wolf	Sparkle	Lynx	A budget version of the quantum squad, where Qingque or Xuei occupy the position of the main DPS character. Lynx is the main healer (restores health both passively and actively, removes various weakenings, and if there are 4 eidolons, increases the attack power with the “Survival Reaction” from the skill).
Devour. Moon Ratio	Welt	Sparkle	Locha Aventurine	Dan Heng: Moon Eater or Ratio is the basis of the squad, around which the team is built. Velt, as an imaginary representative of the Path of Non-existence, is useful to both the first and second damage dealer, since it allows you to fully implement a set of Cave Relics "Thug of the Bandit Desert". Sparkle applies bonuses to the team's hypercarry. Locha helps with health restoration, and also deals additional damage through the use of a basic attack and superpower. If desired, it can be replaced with Aventurine.
jingliu	Blade	Sparkle	Hoho Lynx	Jingliu acts as the main DPS hero; Blade, as an auxiliary damage dealer, offers good synergy to the swordsman mentor (in the “Spectral Transmigration” state, the girl “devours” the health of her allies, thereby helping Blade quickly accumulate charges for a bonus attack). Twilight takes turns buffing up her allies while Lynx and Hoho take up their usual "healer" roles.
jingliu Yanqing	sang	Sparkle	Hoho	In the case of Jingliu, the heroine will benefit greatly from increases in crit. damage. Yanqing, although he personally increases his basic combat characteristics through Empathic Connection, will not mind additional support from the outside. Hoho not only restores HP, but also “fills” energy. Pela “cuts” the defense of enemies and also reduces the target’s ice resistance if there are 4 eidolons.
Jing Yuan	Sparkle	Yukong tingyun	Bailu	Jing Yuan is a hypercarry supported by Twilight and Yukun/Tingyun. Thanks to the peculiarities of Sparkle’s skills, Yukun will be able to permanently activate the “Roaring Bowstring” status, which is important for increases in crit. damage and crit. blow; Tingyun restores energy well and also increases outgoing damage with his ultimate. Bailu is a healer who can resurrect (can be replaced by a healer who can remove weaknesses).
Argenti	Sparkle	tingyun Tribby	Hoho	An analogue of the above squad, but Argenti acts as a hypercarry. Tingyun and Hoho are the best support for the knight, since the characters can "fill" energy for the ultimate skill. Sparkle is important due to the increase in critical damage, as well as the progress of the turn. Tribby, who spreads mass buffs and herself does good damage in the area, is also suitable for the position of the second support.
Boothill Rappa	Sparkle	ruan mei Imaginary. hero Fugue	Gallagher	Team with Boothill or Rappa: The first hero is suitable for fighting bosses, and the second for dealing area damage. Sparkle helps with the action progression and generating "positive" skill points. Ruan Mei, Pathfinder or Fugue are aimed at increasing the penetration effect and applying other useful buffs. Gallagher is engaged in healing and additionally increases damage after penetration.
Feixiao Yunli Clara	Topaz Tribby	Sparkle	Linsha Lynx	Bonus attack squad. Topaz increases the damage of this type of strikes/Tribby total damage of the entire group, and the characters of the first position provoke attacks of the Accountant. Lynx is in this case the best representative of the Path of Abundance due to the "Survival Reaction" status from the skill. However, Linsha will also do, which, in addition to healing, stably carries out bonus attacks. Sparkle, in turn, during the battle concentrates on strengthening one of the damage dealers.
Seele	Sparkle	Luke Gui	Natasha	Luka and Guinaifen are interchangeable followers of the Path of Nothingness; they are primarily important due to their negative status, which increases the damage incoming to the enemy. Zele is the main DPS character supported by Twilight. Natasha is a free healer who effectively restores health and removes weaknesses.
Greater Hertha	Jasper Serval	Sparkle	Linsha	A team with Great Gerta that needs another Erudite character, as it significantly strengthens not only her, but the rest of the squad. The optimal addition to such a build would be a buffer/debuffer that spreads beneficial effects or weakens enemies. It is also worth noting that the legendary Hertha values ​​allies who can attack frequently and thus accumulate stacks of Interpretation, which means that similar units can be considered for the remaining support positions. For example, Linsha not only heals well, but also actively deals damage with a bonus attack.
Blade	sang	Sparkle	Lynx	Blade effectively deals with elite opponents and bosses, who, in turn, have reduced defense due to Pela's skills. Sparkle increases crit. damage, advances moves Stellaron hunter, and also helps in restoring skill points. Lynx constantly supports the “Survival Reaction” on the Blade: due to this status, the swordsman becomes a priority target for opponents, which speeds up the accumulation of charges for his bonus attack.
Kafka	Black Swan Sampo Luke	Sparkle	Hoho Locha	A unit that specializes in dealing DoT damage. Kafka - the basis of the group, Black Swan, Luka (replaced with Guinaifen) or Sampo are offered to support it: Black Swan is responsible for the imposition of statuses "Arcanum" and "Weathering"; The bow is preferred due to its “Bleeding” and the debuff that increases damage dealt to the enemy; Sampo spreads a colossal amount of the Weathering status, and at the beginning of the battle is capable of blinding opponents, thereby delaying their actions. Sparkle is Kafka's personal support with bonuses for attack power and outgoing damage distributed to all allies. As for the healer, Hoho is practical due to the energy for the ultimate and the additional buff to attack power, Locha is useful due to the low consumption of skill points and secondary damage.
Acheron	Hero of the Path of Nothingness	Sparkle	Linsha Gallagher	Detachment Acheron E2. If you have a 2nd eidolon on your team, you can only take 1 character from the Path of Nothingness in order for the maximum buff from the “Abyss” trail to apply. Twilight is one of the best support heroes that will significantly strengthen the Galaxy Ranger and other allies. The group can be effective with Acheron E0, but in this case, Sparkle’s speed should be from 160 units, and the presence of her signature light cone and E2 is also highly desirable.

F2P squads with free and 4⭐ characters:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Xueyi qingque	Luke sang Gui	Sparkle	Lynx	Xuei or Qingque is the basis of the group, which focuses damage on single targets, as well as areas. The chosen representative of the Path of Non-existence prioritizes weakening enemies: Pela lowers defense, Luka or Guinaifen increases damage incoming to the enemy. Sparkle takes the usual position of a support heroine, and Lynx - a healer.
Arlan Hook Misha	Dan Heng Sampo	Sparkle	Natasha March 7	The chosen follower of the Path of Destruction acts as a secondary damage dealer, the basis of the damage lies with Dan Heng (we replace Sampo, who pushes “Destruction” to a more equal position). Sparkle focuses on applying buffs to the squad's hypercarries. Any existing representative of the Path of Conservation or Path of Abundance (for example, free Natasha or March 7) takes on the role of support, strengthening the survivability of the group.
Sushan	Hertha Serval	Sparkle	Gallagher	Sushan deals with the elite enemy or boss, while Serval or Gerta deal with the small “minions”. Sparkle supports Sushan as a priority. In turn, you can put any hero of the Path of Abundance, for example, Gallagher, in the role of healer.
Phys. hero	Sparkle	Yukong	Natasha	A squad of free available heroes, which can be obtained during the passage of the main story campaign and other activities. Pathfinder (Physical) - the main damage dealer. Yukun helps inflict damage, under the Roaring Bowstring status it gives increases in attack power, and is also capable of raising crit. damage and crit chance. hits. Sparkle is an additional support whose main feature is the restoration of skill points. Natasha is a good epic healer who can remove debuffs.

How to play as Sparkle

Sparkle, as a follower of the Path of Harmony, distributes various bonuses by activating a skill, and also restores skill points and increases their number after using a superpower. Thanks to the peculiarities of her mechanics, she can constantly use the Dream Floating skill without worrying about the action points spent, and thereby maintain positive effects on crit. damage. With proper build-up, the “energy recovery speed” parameter will allow the girl to often use the ultimate skill and thereby open up additional opportunities for her allies during turn-based combat.

Rotation

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

1. Before the battle, use the techniques of heroes supporting 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, remember 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.

Armor or Sparkle - who is better? Character comparison

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

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

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 account when comparing the two heroines, namely:

• During the battle, the Armor maintains the bulk of the bonuses on one selected character, which reduces its effectiveness if you compare the supreme guardian with the “klutz” in the mask. Simply put, if there are two representatives of damage-dealing Paths in the squad, Armor is like the heroine of Harmony will lose badly Sparkle, who is able to offer bonuses to attack power and outgoing damage to all party members.
• The distribution of characteristics is very different: Sparkle is focused on increasing crit. damage, while Armor offers a more effective boost to outgoing damage. The importance of each increases depending on the main DPS character in the squad. However, in the future, a percentage increase in outgoing damage is more preferable than an increase in a single combat characteristic, which can additionally be raised to good levels thanks to Cave Relics and Planar Jewelry.
• Sparkle only advances the action by 50%, while Armor offers instant action after using its own skill. However, the “klutz” in a mask gets a bigger “plus” due to the fact that he can permanently restore such an important resource for turn-based battles 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.

As a result, it is worth paying attention to the following facts, around which the priority of Spark or Armor for an account and a certain squad in particular is built:

1. For characters who are limited in receiving bonuses to increase outgoing damage and who can personally increase their own characteristics (for example, Yanqing), Armor will be better. At the same time, heroes with high outgoing DPS (for example, jingliu) will offer increased synergy with Sparkle, as it provides huge crit boosts. damage.
2. Uniqueness Sparkles from -1 unit. speed compared to the speed of the main DPS character in the squad, more attractive when compared to Armor -1 unit. speed. The reason lies in the main advantage of the masked “klutz” - the ability to restore skill points by activating an ultimate skill. Armor without E1 and a signature light cone is an extremely skill point-hungry hero of the Path of Harmony.
3. At the same time, Twilight and Armor, collected in 160+ units speed, the same are effective. If the account has both the first and second representatives of the Path of Harmony, and each of them has 160+ units. speed, you can create two powerful squads that will cope with content of any complexity and not experience any problems at all.

Is it worth knocking out Twilight in Honkai: Star Rail?

Twilight in HSR is a versatile and unique Path of Harmony character that offers a variety of buffs to the party. Its main feature is the powerful restoration of skill points, as well as an increase in their total number. Being a legendary heroine, the “klutz” is completely undemanding when it comes to equipment.

A signature Light Cone or additional constellations will undoubtedly significantly enhance her “support” capabilities, but they are completely unnecessary for comfortable combat. Among the weapon "cards" you can find passable epic or rare variants, many Cave Relics are great to wear in a 2x2 combination, and suitable sets of Planar Decorations can be found in low-level Worlds of the "Virtual Universe". If you have been in need of a good support hero for a long time, Sparkle will do the job perfectly: thanks to her skills, she “fills” any need for support and thus can 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 Dan Heng: Moon Eater or 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 number of them during the battle. In other moments, the masked “klutz” or other heroes of the Path of Harmony are equal characters who have both special advantages and unpleasant disadvantages, and in this case the main reason to knock out the heroine will be the waifu factor.
