All we know about Sparkle in Honkai Star Rail so far

Sparkle is a member of the “Masked Fools” and an avid fan of theatrics. Like all members, she is a follower of Aha, the Elation. She is also known to own countless masks and disguises. Sparkle does not care for wealth or power of any kind. She is more interested in the “amusement” that life brings her, a reference that still remains unclear.

Outside of her in-game lore, Sparkle is known to have the following stats/abilities:

• Skill: Boosts the selected Ally’s ATK and HP for two whole turns. Additionally, the Skill also moves the ally’s action forward.
• Ultimate: Generates four Skill Points for the team. If Skill Points are already full, an extra Skill Point is generated for immediate use. A maximum of two such Skill Points can be obtained this way. Furthermore, the Ultimate also increases the duration of her Talent for another two turns.
• Talent: Using a Skill Point boosts the ally’s damage output.
• Technique: Generates a Skill Point during the start of a battle. An extra Skill Point will be generated if Skill points are already maxed out.

Note that the aforementioned information comes courtesy of leaks and is subject to change.
