WHOS PULLING? Is she more universal than you thought? Or are you saving for MEI? NOTES: - DONT LOOK AT THE TRACE BONUSES ICONS D: - The Topaz Ratio Huohuo team was just a representation of what her SP Generation can do. E1S1 Topaz makes it technically okay but not perfect debuff wise, but it was just showing how all 3 can skill spam / the 2 DPS can depending on your Sparkle
likewise, there being so many units that need speedtuning also makes me wish we had relic loadouts already. I'm using not leveled units as a broke man's relic loadout.
Now that a few five star harmony units are released I'd LOVE to see a video comparing 4 star with 5 star harmony units to see how much better the buffing actually is. The main reason I'd like to see something like this is because I already have many 4 star harmony units built, and I'm not sure whether it's worth the stellar jades (and resources to a lesser extent) to wish for and build 5 star ones.
@@katep.1465This, seems that every, if not most harmony units will have the archetype they support and it depends on the individual unit and the kind of teams it enables or enhances to make the decision. Like if they release a Harmony unit that greatly buffs Follow Up Attacks, and you don't like that play style or don't have the team for that, you can probably skip it.
I spent 160 pulls to E1 her, and I now have to deal with speed tuning hell. This fits the sadist nature of sparkle really well. I need some rest after watching this video.
From my testing, I found out that in the Slow Blade + Sparkle + Bronya comp, if you do: Sparkle's Skill on Blade, Blade's turn, Bronya skill on Blade, Blade Ult (before his turn starts), he gains the bonuses of both skills at the same time. I got some crisp 250k dmg ults from my E1 Blade this way
Thanks for the video. On your upcoming team comp video, it would be nice to have a spreadsheet for each DPS (or team comps) and the preferred Sparkle gameplay Let’s say, for example: DPS | Fast Sprk | Slow Sprk | BSPAM Blade | O | O | X FUA | O | O | X If it’s not too much of a hassle or if the video is already done, of course. It would be a good reference for future dps/content Thank you a lot
Currently at 77 pity on a 50/50. I was hesitant on pulling her, but her trailer absolutely got me sold. Hopefully I win the 50/50. ;w; [8/22/24] Edit: I FINALLY GOT HER ON HER RERUN!!! LMAO
first time winning 50/50 on a unit that i really want + snagged her light cone as well. i dont think i'm going to continue for her eidolons now though. time to study this video
Regarding her basic attack build, if you have shared feelings S5 (recommended) or Quid Pro Quo S4 (minimum. has inconsistency problems)) on a healer and Cogs LC (or the 4star version) S5 on Sparkle, you can hit the forbidden 2 turn ult on Sparkle, making her a 3 SP/Turn generator. I can't wait to get my hand on the unit and test things out.
Sorry if you get asked all the time but do you do the pixel art for your guides? On note of Sparkle, I kind of want to pull her cause Reina but I want Acheron since I like Miyuki Sawashiro too and I need carry characters so bad 😭
@@guobacertified honestly i was looking at guides of other creators like dreamy and pokke, and you're the only one that bothered to show a spd value of bronya+sparkle skill spam for an economic dps like blade/arlan/jing liu... how did it not cross any other guidemakers' mind to pair them both and make a dps act as much as possible? can you go in your next sparkle video on more detail with that pairing? a few questions that come to mind are: -how fast can the sparkle+bronya duo be before bleeding AV from a slow dps. for example, if i'm playing slow blade. i want to sparkle>blade>bronya>blade -how slow if possible can the sparkle+bronya duo be before bleeding AV from a fast dps. for example, if i'm playing spd boots blade. is it possible to do blade>sparkle>blade>bronya>blade? i'm guessing bronya would have to be a lot slower than sparkle but my math is bad.
I like looking for every kit option possible, discussing how it works and if it can work :D Basic Spam sparkle can see some amazing use in the future depending on what units drop, but also RN she has cool uses
Hey Guoba, I've got something you missed that I feel is important to mention: E2 Bronya light cone and 5% ERR ornaments enables consistent 3T ults WITHOUT an ERR rope. I believe this is important for people to know, as an avenue for avoiding needing to farm speed substats on an ERR rope is important. Since Sparkle is a unit whose use can heavily depend on meeting breakpoints requiring lots of substats of the rarest substat in the game, allowing ANY rope to be used potentially makes that MUCH more achievable as a stat goal. Not to mention it allows for a more tanky Sparkle build too with a HP or DEF rope. And I know it may seem silly to recommend E2 of a five star cone, as it seems quite out of reach for a lot of players, but in the same vein it is very in reach for any player who happened to get one copy of Bronyas cone from standard/cone banner and then just saves enough to buy E2 from the shop (and you can save 1200 of the currency to buy two copies worst case, which sadly may be easier to do than farming for speed subs on an ERR rope lol). I personally feel that farming speed substats to hit high speed breakpoints is kinda miserable, especially when it is tied to enabling fun use of characters. An alternative avenue to enabling doing so without needing to get the rarest main stat relic with the rarest substat that also needs to hopefully roll into said substat when upgrading is a pretty big deal that should be mentioned. So my plan is to get E2 Bronya cone in the shop as soon as I get Sparkle for most of my use case for her. Anyhow, great guide as always. You finally gave me reason to farm wind set, so I am off to lose my mind there for the next seven years trying to get 161 speed for a S5 Dance^3 Sporkle build lol
Ye I mean it’s always been able to replicate the 19% energy just like post op at a certain point can, but s2 bronya cone 🗿 Good point though , thanks for mentioning it yourself since speed is so hard to hit :)
I was tempted to get her sig lightcone after seeing it's stats, and frankly it seems perfect for Bronya too so I wanted to get 2 of them, but I think I'll go with Planetary for now and save my pulls for Acheron. Also I may be a casual here but seeing "slow Sparkle" having 135 speed would make her faster than all of my characters except Ruan Mei and Seele, so I'm probably just sitting here on bad relics. Thanks for the detailed guide.
20:05 lol I said that to my friend , Huohuo is one of the biggest Winners with sparkle , she feels much better with her now that she can spam her skill more
So the support who does what Bronya does but better and for the whole team isn’t basically tied to two teams? Shocking /s But seriously, I’m only a little surprised that myth had lasted so long. Anyway, great video Guoba!
@@XnathOW Yes, she doesn't do the job better if you ignore the thing that makes her better than Bronya. Blade and Jingliu is the exception, not the norm.
I’m surprised that her ult buff doesn’t tick down if used on DPS’s turn. Other ult buffs currently in the game (such as TY’s ult) don’t work this way. The only ones I know that work this way are speed buffs. Hanya’s ult also works this way because it has a speed buff component.
I assumed her ult would work the same way as TY and Bronya’s ult and the only way to extend it by 1 turn is to use extra turn mechanics (Blade, Qingque, Seele, etc)
I got confused on how you use DDD on fast Sparkle. You can't ult on Sparkle's turn, since that doesn't advance Sparkle and is wasted on the DPS who you will already make act after Sparkle with her skill. Using the ult on the DPS turn will advance forward Sparkle, but not the DPS so it can desync the DPS. So do you wait to use Sparkle's ult after Sparkle and your DPS already had their turn? Or am I missing something?
As a new player I immediately lost 50/50 to Yanqin on the featured banner... BUT got her in the 10 pull afterwards. So now I am watching this video and hardly understand anything - also got Bronya btw which doesn't make figuring things out easier. Sincerely, Trailblaze Level 30 Player.
Funnily enough she's PERFECT for how my current Blade team is setup, despite the speed tuning when bronya uses her alt it gets all weird sometimes and desyncs, but Sparkle fixes that with ease. Combining those three with Fu Xuan and I get a nearly unstoppable team with SO MUCH crit dmg.
I'm crazy to skip Sparkle but I have 3 Harmony unit (Ruan Mei, Bronya, Ting Yun) and needed 1 more Sustain unit and Lightning dps (my only built sustain is Luocha) Also broke after pulling Ruan Mei so I guess i will save for Acheron or Aventurine. Good luck for Sparkle Puller!
Do you know if 3x Penacony is ideal for a Mono Quantum team now? I'm sure someone's done some theorycrafting for this but i couldn't find it anywhere. Also, I cannot stress enough how much the stat goals you put in your videos have been a lifesaver. Keep up the great content :)
Broken Keel is generally better anyway and helps your supports not get CC'd. When you can't use the energy there's little point in using Penacony. Keep in mind that all our Quantum DPS have massive DMG% self steroids. If running Sparkle AND Bronya the calculus might change though, but then Bronya also has a lot of DMG% too.
@@bjornnilsson2941 Makes sense. I’m not completely aware of the game’s damage formula so I have no clue whether 30% DMG or 30% CRIT DMG is more valuable
@@SpielernDMG% is more valuable in a vacuum, because its the last multiplier considered, but they're multiplicative of each other, so stacking only one side is less valuable, also DMG% is already gained from example from the elemental damage% orb, and from many supports such as Bronya and Ruan Mei. For example: 100 x 1.3 x 1.3 = 169, but 100 x 1.6 x 1.0 = 160 if you get my point.
First, thank you for the amazing work as you do always, Second, can you make the guides more simpler, like for this scenario - team use this setup, ex the part (17:17 Sparkle Synergies & Team Compositions) is great, i get confused when you present so many options (should I use fast or slow and when, should i farm Wind set), Please assume most of us do not have S5 DDD, and no wind set.
I WON 50/50 LET"S GOOOO!!!! Damn that 160 SPD is soooo hard to get tho! I only have about 149 SPD on her currently, I do have her LC too. I think I reached the other stats tho! Thanks Gouba for another great guide!
@@cristhianrendon2504 Different servers get the updates at different times. NA gets updates last. It is staggered because of time zones, trying to have maintenance occur late at night so the game is updated by the morning for that region.
Definitely was leaning towards pulling for her, and this removed any doubt. I'm particularly glad to here about that Bronya + Sparkle synergy where Arlan (along with Blade) stands out from the rest of the cast in being able to sustain if needed after the first few cycles. I was wondering how well she'd work with him
so glad i got her and her light cone, ive had e2 seele lowkey benched for so long, even have e1 sw and e1 fu xuan just for seele. im going for e1 sparkle later just for the fun of it XD
I'm confused why no one has mentioned sustain, Sparkle, DHIL, (E6) Yukong viability in their videos. Haven't been able to test it myself because banner hasn't changed yet, but shouldn't it be pretty decent considering she gives ATK, CRate, CDmg and IMG bonus? Or is the comp thrown to the side because action advancing messes up Roaring Bowstring timings too much to be worth it?
Seeing how good she is for so many teams, I am sooo torn... I saved up for Acheron, but now I feel like I'd be missing out given how my account could house Sparkle perfectly...
Harmony characters are much harder to power creep so long term Sparkle will be better. Acheron's teams are also more restrictive before her E2 and she REALLY wants her lightcone for the extra debuff
Did you find out anything about Sparkle and E2 Imbibitor Lunae? For instance her potential damage increase over E4 Hanya and her best Lightcone with E2 IL?
Ngl, seeing my QQ doing 130k+ under sparkle buffs and FX is unexpected xD I cant believe to see the day i can comfortably use QQ to its fullest potential xD
Hey there little bear (or anyone else for that matter :P), what do y'all think of seele (e2s1) with (presumably) e0s1 fast sparkle, slow e1s1 bronya and huohuo? I don't think sp is gonna be a huge problem due to sparkle's insane generation + bronya's e1 and lc, but if anyone has some numbers or other valuable info that would be greatly appreciated. Ty :)
thank you for this guide! unfortunately I gave in to e1 black swan so I only have like one ten pull right now. I hope I can still get sparkle or acheron 🙏 also, and I hate I'm admitting this, your pixel guoba reminds me of fnaf because of the tie LOL
Mono quantum incoming. One of my most wanted character finally ariving. Hope she will spare some pulls for Acheron tho. Good luck for anyone who is pulling.
Heya, love your videos thanks for your hard work. Do you think that one of your next videos could be some general tips and team recommendations for elements in Pure Fiction? Given its turn limit and whatnot some teams are way better than they usually are, and some, like hypercarry seem to be lagging quite a bit sadly, id love to hear your thoughts on it.
