Honkai Star Rail: Where To Find Sparkle Mats (Pre-Farming Guide)

Best Build for Sparkle in Honkai Star Rail: Best Light Cone

Sparkle’s best Light Cone is her signature 5-star Light Cone, the Earthly Escapade. This Light Cone increases Sparkle’s Crit DMG by 32% and provides other buffs for your allies. Sparkle’s buffs scale off Crit DMG, so you’ll want to stack that stat as much as possible. You can also take advantage of But the Battle Isn’t Over. This is Bronya’s signature Light Cone, which increases the wearer’s Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR) by 10% and provides a DMG buff to the next ally. This works well with Sparkle, as she’ll appreciate some extra ERR, and she can action advance like Bronya does (albeit more unreliably).

Sparkle also has several 4-star options. The Planetary Rendezvous is a fantastic choice if you are running her with Quantum DPS characters like Seele or Qinque. Sparkle provides an additional Quantum DMG buff with one of her traces, and this Light Cone boosts the DMG of Quantum characters if used with Sparkle. The Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds Light Cone is always reliable, as it provides several unconditional random buffs. (Do note it’s a Battle Pass weapon, so this is not a free-to-play option.)

No.	Best 5-star options	Best 4-star options
1	Earthly Escapade (Sparkle’s signature Light Cone)	Planetary Rendezvous (best if paired with other Quantum DPS)
2	But the Battle Isn’t Over (ERR option & SP recovery)	Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds (P2W Battle Pass option)
3	Past Self in Mirror (Teamwide damage buff, but not recommended)	Past and Future (similar to Bronya’s Light Cone)

Best Build for Sparkle: Relics

Sparkle’s best relics depend on the DPS you pair her with. Sparkle cannot work as a DPS character, so you’ll focus on the relic set that you need to buff the rest of your team with. Choose the best artifact set based on what you need:

Artifact Set	Description
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	This set provides an SPD buff for Sparkle as well as an SPD buff for the rest of your team. This can help your allies get more turns overall. I recommend this particular set if you are looking to boost Sparkle’s SPD to certain thresholds.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	This set provides an ATK and SPD buff for Sparkle. This doesn’t give a SPD buff to the rest of your team, so it’s generally a weaker option. Pick this set if you have better substats, though! Substats will matter much more rather than having a proper set.
Broken Keel	This is her best Planar Ornament set, providing a 10% teamwide Crit DMG buff when Sparkle’s Effect RES is 30% or higher. Sparkle has some Effect RES build into her traces, so it’s easier to reach this threshold.
Penacony Land of Dreams	This Planar Ornament set provides some ERR and a 10% DMG buff to other characters with the same element as the wearer, AKA Quantum for Sparkle. This is a great option if you are pairing Sparkle with Quantum DPS characters.

Best Team Comps for Sparkle in Genshin Impact

Sparkle’s main utility is to provide Skill Points for her allies, as well as an unconditional Crit DMG buff and action advance. With this in mind, she’s very similar to Bronya, although her action advance is weaker. Sparkle can buff her allies’ damage whenever a Skill Point is consumed, so using characters like Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae or Qingque will help trigger this buff.
