Sparkle is a brand new Quantum 5-star Harmony unit in Honkai Star Rail. Here is a detailed build for the unit including Relics, Light Cone, and other details in Genshin Impact.

Sparkle is quite possibly one of the best units to pull for in Honkai Star Rail. She provides massive buffs and has a special ability to increase the number of skill points to seven in the game. This works wonderfully when played with someone like Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae who needs a lot of skill points.

She is basically a replacement for Bronya and a much better unit in every regard. Therefore, if you failed to pull for Ruan Mei and still do not have Bronya, you will gain a lot by getting Sparkle. In case you have those units, Sparkle will still be a massive unit for you.

Here is what you need to know about Sparkle with regard to her Relics, Light Cones, Eidolons, Traces, and best team comp.
