Sparkle

Skill Point-supporting Harmony character with action advance and CRIT DMG buffs

Released Feb 6, 2024

Sparkle supports an ally by advancing that ally’s action and scaling their CRIT DMG from her own CRIT DMG. Her Ultimate restores Skill Points and her Talent raises the party’s Skill Point maximum, making her worth considering for teams that use Skill Points frequently and can make good use of repeated ally turns. The input contains two distinct ability descriptions for her, so the article describes the shared effects and avoids treating the alternate wording as additional effects to purchase.

Sparkle GUIDE

Understand Sparkle

Useful when…

Supporting a damage dealer who benefits from CRIT DMG and an action advance
Helping teams that spend Skill Points frequently
Using her Technique to avoid enemy detection and recover Skill Points upon entering combat

What does her support kit provide?

Dreamdiver increases one ally’s CRIT DMG by a portion of Sparkle’s CRIT DMG plus a flat amount, then advances that ally’s action by 50%; using it on Sparkle herself does not advance her action. The listed descriptions differ on whether the buff lasts one or two turns, so rely on the active in-game kit for the exact duration. Red Herring increases the team’s maximum Skill Points by two. When an ally spends a Skill Point, it grants a short-lived, stackable damage benefit, capped at three stacks; the supplied alternate descriptions phrase that benefit differently, so they should not be combined. Her Ultimate restores Skill Points and grants Cipher, which enhances the Talent effect for a limited duration. Her Technique conceals the team from enemies and restores Skill Points when combat begins while concealed; one supplied version also says it restores Energy to Sparkle.

When does she fit?

She is most relevant when a selected ally can turn extra action access and CRIT DMG into useful output, while the team also spends enough Skill Points to value her larger reserve and Talent. The Skill is single-target, so it does not distribute its CRIT DMG buff across the party. The Ultimate’s Skill Point restoration supports a point-hungry plan, while Cipher makes spending Skill Points contribute to the listed Talent benefit. Her Technique is an exploration aid before combat and a limited resource recovery when entering a fight under its effect.

What should be invested in?

Dreamdiver is the clearest priority when the aim is a stronger single-ally CRIT DMG buff. Raise the Ultimate if Skill Point recovery and Cipher’s enhancement are central, and the Talent if the extra Skill Point capacity and spending-triggered benefit matter to the team. The listed traces offer CRIT DMG, HP, and Effect RES bonuses. Her Basic Attack deals damage but is not the main reason to build her. Promotion and later trace levels take increasing materials, so the exact investment depends on whether you need her action advance, Skill Point support, or both.

What limitations should be kept in mind?

Dreamdiver advances another ally’s action but does not advance Sparkle when self-targeted. The single-target CRIT DMG buff and the Skill Point-triggered Talent reward are different parts of her kit: using one does not imply the other is active. The two supplied ability families describe differing buff durations and Ultimate/Talent effects; they are alternate kit descriptions, not separate upgrades to buy together. Confirm which kit is active before using numerical durations or assuming whether the Talent benefit increases damage dealt or damage enemies take.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Her direct Skill buff is single-target and does not advance Sparkle herself.
Skill Point spending is required to stack the Talent benefit.
The supplied alternate descriptions differ; they cannot be treated as simultaneous effects or duplicate trace families to purchase.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting Dreamdiver to advance Sparkle’s own action when she targets herself.
Assuming the Talent benefit stacks without an ally spending Skill Points.
Paying to level both alternate descriptions of Sparkle’s traces as though they were separate kits.
