Pulling for Sparkle during the second phase of version 2.0 is a no-brainer, as she is an excellent buffer. Those who have skipped Ruan Mei for either Blade or Kafka can now summon her without a second thought. When she is paired with characters such as Jingliu, DHIL, Topaz & Numby, and Seele, they can easily deal colossal amounts of damage to opponents.

Sparkle’s ability to increase the cap of Skill Points will significantly benefit characters who consume lots of Skill Points, such as Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae. If you do not have the aforementioned characters in your account, pairing her with Dr. Ratio is still a viable choice as she can significantly boost his follow-up attack’s damage. That being said, you can pull for any character if you aren't particular about taking advantage of the title’s meta.
