#hsr bronya build

[wynterrolls]

【Honkai: Star Rail Build TLDR】

˳༄꠶ Bronya

For Buffer Build (Recommended!)

[Relic Set 1 = gives SPD buff to allies, gets SPD to self] → 4pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

[Relic Set 2 = more basic ATK DMG, gets SPD to self] → 4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

[Relic Set 3 = to keep her squishy HP safe] → 4pc Guard of Wuthering Snow → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

Main Stats → Head = HP (constant) → Hand = ATK (constant) → Body = Crit DMG → Feet = SPD → Sphere = Wind DMG% → Rope = Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR)

Sub Stats → SPD → Crit DMG

Things to Consider

➤ Without ERR rope, rotation would be: → using S5 Memories LC, use 2 skill + 2 basic (SP-neutral) → using any harmony LC, use 2 skill + 3 basic (SP-positive) → using Bronya's sig LC + 2pc Vonwacq, use 2 skill + 3 basic (SP-positive)

➤ With ERR rope, rotation would be: → using any harmony LC, use 2 skill + 2 basic (SP-neutral) → using Bronya's sig LC, use 3 skill (SP-negative)

** The highlighted ones are the recommended rotations for Bronya.

Things to Remember

➤ She needs 200+ crit DMG to get the max buffs her ultimate could give her allies.

➤ Doing basic atks in her rotation gives her advance forwards. This means that she'll have more turns, thus means she'll also replenish the same SP she used to cast her skill on ally. She becomes SP-neutral.

➤ If using the 4pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace on another unit in same team, use other relic set on Bronya since 4pc Messenger set doesn't stack its effect.

➤ Her skill has cleanse/remove debuff on ally. Pretty nifty utility to have.

➤ Optional: Build her with 120+ SPD to get the atk buff from Fleet of the Ageless set effect.

Lightcones

* Lightcone list is from Honkai: Star Rail General Build Guide. Link below in the post. (They did the calcs, so now we have the weapon rankings.)

But the Battle Isn't Over 5☆ [S1]

Meshing Cogs 3☆ [S5]

Memories of the Past 4☆ [S5]

Additional Block of Text Below

(Tbh, I just copy-pasted this from the Asta build TLDR I posted before this one. Lmao. Most harmony units practically have similar builds. I mean, who even reads this block of texts anyway?)

4pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is the most recommended set for buffers and debuffers where their ultimate is directed at their allies. Bronya is one of them.

4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat is the former recommended set for buffers and debuffers before the release of the Messenger Traversing Hackerspace set in patch 1.2. While second in place, this option is still viable if someone is already using the 4pc Messenger in same team, since the 4pc Messenger doesn't stack effects.

4pc Guard of Wuthering Snow is another niche build to use on your harmony units. This is to ensure that they'll be able to lessen the DMG from enemy hits, especially, for some reason, enemies like to hit the harmony units more than the preservation units themselves. I'm looking at you, Tingyun.

In this build TLDR, I recommend 2pc Fleet of Ageless set more than 2pc Sprightly Vonwacq. This is to give more buffing utility on the unit, than just to ensure the ult uptime of the said unit. The rotations listed above are fit to Fleet set more.

** Broken Keel & Fleet of Ageless for support usage is explained here.

— Why no 4pc Eagle of Twilight set (Wind set) on Bronya? —

I can't recommended 4pc Eagle of Twilight Line to her cause the advance forward set effect of this relic could actually ruin the speed-tuning you'll do to your Bronya build.

There are two ways to build Bronya - Fast Bronya or Slow Bronya.

The build above caters to Slow Bronya since it considers that majority of the players don't have Bronya's signature LC, "But the Battle Isn't Over". In this build, you'd want her to be a bit slower SPD than your DPS. Her talent's action forwards would fill in the gap for her slowness and would make her return the same SP she used on an ally.

You'd only consider Fast Bronya build if you have her signature LC. This build could now use the 4pc Eagle of Twilight set on her (if you already pre-farmed for her) and like I said previously, she could be SP-negative for the team, so it is a good thing to remember to place her with SP-positive teammates.

HSR: Character Build Archive - Harmony

Xipe

An Aeon that hails from multiple harmonious celestial worlds. THEY preside over the Path of Harmony. THEY are the amalgamation of thousands of entities that preaches the joy of human harmony and unity.

Certain character descriptions may contain story spoilers: Bronya, Sunday, Tribbie. If you’re not caught up to the most current version of the game, please read them at your own discretion.

Asta (e6)

The lead researcher of Herta Space Station and a lady from a renowned family. She's an astronomer overflowing with curiosity, and excels at managing the disparate staff of the space station.

benched: her build is actually so cooked right now because I kept taking her pieces for other units since she had some of my best spd relics

will likely stay benched for a good while. I don't have any other teams that I want to put her on at the moment and I hate relic swapping

Bronya (e2)

Belobog's current Supreme Guardian. She possesses pride befitting of a princess, but also the determination and integrity of a soldier.

bronya's build fluctuates depending on the dps I'm playing with. this is what she's been running the most consistently though

she's definitely in the market for a new set: I'd prefer to have her on sacerdos for the cdmg buff it offers to the team

her spd situation is a bit odd since I occasionally like to use her with boothill and he's way too fast for the -1 spd setup. at the same time she's also too fast to use this build with my slower units. relic loadouts when, hoyo?

I'd also like to get her sig at some point. 75/25 losses and the standard banner have not felt like giving it to me yet. could I get if from the shop? yes, but I'd rather use my starlight on limited pulls than standard cones. surely hers will show up soon (copium)

latest update - 6.19.25 | fribbels score - 439 A+

Cerydra

unreleased (3.5)

there's a high chance that I end up pulling her. I've really gotten into the habit of getting harmony units just because I want as many supportive options as possible for endgame. no clue what her kit will be like since that hasn't been announced yet, but I doubt it'll be something I want to skip out on in the current climate of the game

Hanya (e6)

benched and stripped: she's pretty much useless to me since I was only using her as a substitute for my dhil team until I could pull sparkle

don't have any other units that can truly take advantage of what she offers so I don't think she'll ever be coming off the bench

Imaginary Trailblazer (e6)

A person who boarded the Astral Express. They chose to travel with the Astral Express to eliminate the dangers posed by the Stellaron.

benched: not interested in playing superbreak and RMC is much more valuable to me at this stage of the game

Robin (e0s1)

A singer renowned across the cosmos, regarded as the superstar of the Starry Stage. Her captivating voice serenades Harmony to audiences across the universe.

currently working toward getting her to 160 spd. while it's not necessary for her to be that fast, I'd like the chance to do some endgame cycling shenanigans with her at some point

it took me far longer to pull her than I would've liked after originally skipping her 2.2 debut for boothill. wasn't able to make it happen until 3.0 but the important thing is that I got her! she was well worth the wait

latest update - 6.19.25 | fribbels score - 476 SS

Ruan Mei (e1s1)

Member 81 of the Genius Society. Jointly developed the "Simulated Universe" with Herta, Screwllum, and Stephen. A master in the field of life sciences, she has an emotionless disposition and is only obsessed with research.

she's a bit faster that I'd like her to be. if she was slower her skill wouldn't run out nearly as fast as it currently does. e2 boothill isn't hurting for skill points, especially with gallagher on the team, so having her be faster for more skill point generation is a bit pointless for my team setup

would also like to stack more survivability stats on her since she's already hitting the necessary break and spd breakpoints to grant her dmg buffs

her planars are quite bad, I'd like to get those replaced at the very least. the rest of the former points are of a much lower priority

latest update - 6.19.25 | fribbels score - 437 A+

Sparkle (e0s1)

A member of the Masked Fools, passionate yet unpredictable. She roams between major factions, amusing herself by turning the world upside down on her own.

it's been nearly 11 months since I pulled her and I still haven't been able to hit 160 spd. don't love that for me

would also like to make the switch to sacerdos for her. perhaps even 2pc/2pc spd if 160 continues to evade me in the 4pc setups

not a high priority right now, she does what I need her to do and I'm not inclined to fix what isn't broken

latest update - 6.19.25 | fribbels score - 436 A+

Sunday (e0s1)

The former head of the Oak Family and the elder brother of Robin. After the upheaval of the Charmony Festival was quelled, he bid farewell to Order and his homeland, boarding the Astral Express in search of a new path.

spd tuned for as close to a -1 spd setup with like 4 different units, I've had to make some interesting relic choices because of this

really want to get a better body and sphere for him. he's got a lot more defense than is needed; an hp sphere would be more beneficial in the long run. unfortunately, I don't farm lushaka nearly enough to make that happen naturally

I ended up getting him during debut after all. don't regret my decision to get him instead of dhil's cone in the slightest; he's been infinitely more valuable to my account than that cone ever would've been and he saved jing yuan from getting benched. pretty huge in my eyes

latest update - 6.19.25 | fribbels score - 423 A

Tingyun (e6)

Amicassador of the Sky-Faring Commission of the Xianzhou Luofu. She travels with business delegates, forging trade relationships and alliances with many worlds.

another unit I'd like to switch to sacerdos at some point: low priority as well since she's another case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

her planars are on the rougher side. the sooner I can replace them the better

her survivability is also questionable. could do with a bit more hp for comfort—not that she dies very often as it is. never hurts to pad her health bar though

latest update - 6.19.25 | fribbels score - 430 A+

Tribbie

Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon: The Chrysos Heir of Janusopolis, the demigod of "Passage." Once a demure and beautiful Holy Maiden, she had regressed to the form of a child. Such is the price she paid for the Coreflame. Trianne sacrificed herself in the Flame Reaver's attack. Her soul dissipated completely, and she turned into a doll that looks just like her.

unowned: had to skip her during her release banner even though I really didn't want to since I'd already started hoarding for my Phainon fund

will be getting her at the first reasonable opportunity that I get because she’s adorable, incredibly strong, and unlikely to fall off for a very long time

Yukong (e6)

Head of the Sky-Faring Commission on the Xianzhou Luofu. Yukong was a seasoned pilot and a deadshot. Since heading up the commission, she's been buried under mountains of paperwork.

unleveled: haven't ever felt the need to use her, not even back in the early days of the game and I don't see that changing now

[nen-shin-impact]

okay honkai who actually know how to play the game help a brother out

i just got bronya! yay! i also have her signature light cone!! even more yay!!

but…i just got sparkle, and i’ve had the cone on her.

so here’s my question - is bronya + her light cone better than sparkle? for context my team is pres. trailblazer, dan heng il, sparkle, and natasha (i’m saving for luocha as we speak)

please lmk!!

[flying-cat]

I am this 🤏 close to just stealing two of Tingyun's relics and putting them on Robin but I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE I HATE STEALING RELICS FROM MY OTHER CHARACTERS

[psychopomparia]

Today I won:

IN TEN PULLS TOO ON HIS LIGHT CONE BANNER

and on Standard banner, we got:

[littlegeppie]

That's not Gepard

[narwhalandchill]

ok misc stream thoughts!!!

ANYWAY livestream over nice 30 pulls of aventurine funds for anni!!!! they didnt do anything insane but honestly it was kinda cope to expect them to, ratio for free was clearly a more of a spontaneous move and hes available throughout anniversary anyway so the "another 5*" were.... a little over the top im sorry wjkjwdjkwdjk altho i wouldnt have complained obviously. a free himeko or sth couldve been on theme for the cosmodussy event but eh cant be helped

im actually glad for the skippability of the reruns 😭😭 like i have luocha n jingliu (+ LC for latter) so by skipping acheron for now im gonna have a nice time getting aventurine and most likely his LC (2/3 of his 4* LC selection is so sad tho), love that fucker hope he gets to do proper mayhem in story too. cool death talk please dont actually die yourself for real for real tho i will be sad. like i do think its based of aventurine to pull off a stunt that appears to be what we in the business might call a certified chapter 5 komaeda moment but. ahahaha nooo dont actually die youre such a funny hat man .

(also sick boss form is sick but . bootleg FL im sorry aventurine. they hit perfection already and theyre never fucking topping the galaxy cape cyclops eye beak mask drip i swear JSWJWJDKWJKDWJK but also yes me biased? in favor of that ginger? i could never)

but it seems ill have a solid time getting aventurine and saving up for now??? since i dont think im too interested in robin or boothill either. i was kinda worried topaz' rerun would be in 2.1 for IPC antics with aventurine bc i am kinda curious abt pulling for her but now its gonna be 2.2 at the earliest so. Phew

the stream ran a bit too long lmao but like overall i tend to like the dev discussions so most of it was still neat, altho downside of dev streams is that not knowing chinese i cant just like. afk and listen on headphones and go get water or something 💀💀 and they were definitely dragging stuff out on purpose no way they werent but eh. people will live its just bideo game livestream. and like these folks do hard work on the game they can yap about what they do sometimes its only right lmao

leakers public shaming session was definitely a jumpscare but i do genuinely empathize w shaoji on that one. like. ive always been one for kit + banner leaks first and foremost and story leaks just. i dont care for them much. ive had my share of looking at them occasionally but i definitely agree with the way story leaks either by themselves or when misconstrued and misinterpreted really fucking mess with the intended experience for any given story and how that must feel like shit for the writers. like if story leaks stopped happening altogether id be perfectly content. and thats just ppl who look at story leaks on purpose cuz. im not going to even begin w how like. yes the leaks subreddits and most big leakers do spoiler warnings and keep the story stuff spoilered. but then theres literally the entire rest of the internet where shit gets spread untagged and without warnings the second they are posted anywhere at all and how that fucking ruins peoples experiences. like its 1 thing to click at a spoiler tagged post knowingly and get ur experience messed up with. but when u dont even want to see it its rly fucking bad and i v well understand condemning all story leaks (even those properly flagged) just on that basis alone. but yeah actually felt bad for him there and see where he was coming from for sure, even as a consumer of leaks

ok well that sure was a wall of text. didnt expect to write that much JWJKWJKDDWJK but ya

Anyway. biggest priority is holding strong w skipping acheron as sick as her animations are but def looking forward to her teaser and the animated short. like . even with the black swan dykery. (that was a fucking jumpscare too). i dont need her rn. despite how cool she is 😭😭

& also have to say im v happy they clarified their stance on hi3rd references like. the way theyre going abt it is absolutely how it should be going. hsr by nature is more directly linked to hi3rd like honkai is in the name but its such a dumbass idea (like some fan takes out there....) to want the stories of hsr depend on another games lore. rewarding old fans with easter eggs and tidbits is perfectly fine and im even interested in seeing where they go with acherons obvious raiden situation - especially knowing theyre not about to ruin their own story with "it was hi3rd all along!" (not that i ever rly thought theyd seriously blunder that bad lmao 💀) . so yea thats neat

i think story wise im not gonna say much of my thoughts bc unfortunately i have clicked on like. a leak or four. not the major stuff i dont think but enough that commenting on stuff w some of the things im aware of in the periphery is going to tint stuff . but im still excited to see where things go!!!

AAND OH. ACTUALLY i do have one more thing . so the multiple POV thing being actually implemented is SOOOO good im so fucking happy theyre committing to it being a thing 😭😭😭 like SO many story pitfalls can be avoided by just letting it be that TB doesnt need to be fucking everywhere a major thing happens as the centerpiece of events so we as players can see it. like it gives a way of showing different events and sides of characters in a much more natural manner its sooo good that theyre implementing it already. like this alone has me in such high hopes for the story going forward. like yea theyve branched from our POV before already and in penacony as well but expanding on it even more is 100% the correct way forward

last thing: god they did jingliu so dirty in her concert illustration. WHAT is she wearing 💀💀💀anyway yeah lesgo 2.1 its cool

i lied real last thing: siobhan . siobhan i would do anything---

[tiny-chubby-bird]

I could use some advice for how to not fail horribly in Forgotten Hall. Do I have to have the bestest artifacts in the world? Do I need to fully level up all the Traces and Lightcones to even make it work? My Crit stats aren't the best tbh but I feel like it should be possible without them.

This is my progress

these are the Lightcones I have

and these are the characters I DONT have

I'd say Argenti is my strongest character atm, at least his Ult is doing the best numbers out of everyone else, and while I'm not 100% happy with my Sampo build I use him all the time and he's pretty reliable too.

I'm shit at building characters and often lack the resources to lvl anything up so I'm aware that I'm the problem :')) I'm just kinda hoping maybe there's a good trick. There's a lot of support characters I haven't built or leveled up a lot so that's probably what I should do. I'm just kinda hoping for some good recommendations and personal experiences what helped you the most for Forgotten Hall. It's just so impossible for me to do.

(also on Echo of War, even though my team is lvl 80 and I select the lvl 75 boss option, the game tells me my team is too underpowered? And I don't understand why? Is it because of the Lightcones maybe?)

[alchemiclee]

dan heng imbibitor lunae what the heck

[electric-plants]

having jiaoqiu is crazy because i just know that even if he did absolutely nothing like no damage apply no dots i would STILL just be over here like YESSS LOOK AT HIM GO❤️❤️ GIVING US EVERYTHING❤️❤️❤️❤️

Φ SPARKLE | Honkai: Star Rail TL;DR Build

Role: Buffer Support

Relic Set

4pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace or 4pc Eagle of Twilight Line (ideal set)

2pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace / 2pc Guard of Wuthering Snow / 2pc Longevous Disciple (most efficient to farm)

Planar Ornament Set

2pc Broken Keel

2pc Fleet of Ageless

2pc Penacony, Land of Dreams (Optional)

Main Stats

Head = HP

Glove = ATK

Body = Crit DMG

Boots = Speed (SPD)

Orb = HP% or DEF% (ideal, but could be whatever as long as it has SPD substats)

Rope = Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR)

Sub Stats

SPD

Crit DMG

Optional: Effect RES

Endgame Stats to aim:

Minimum Crit DMG = 150%

Ideal Crit DMG = 200+%

SPD options: no SPD (if slow Sparkle); 160+ SPD (if fast Sparkle); varies (if middling Sparkle, check here to know more about SPD.)

Optional: Effect RES = 30% (for Broken Keel req.); 50+% (to resist crowd-control to some degree)

Sparkle Rotations

NOTE: With or without ERR planar (e.g. Penacony), Sparkle could get her ultimate up in same turns.

[Recommended] Using ERR rope: x3 Skill > Ultimate (3-turn Ultimate)

Using ERR rope + S5 Memories/S5 Cogs: x2 Basic + x1 Getting Hit > Ultimate (2-Turn Ultimate)

Light Cones

To know the damage difference between each light cone, check the tables below the cut.

Earthly Escapade 5★

Planetary Rendezvous 4★

But the Battle Isn't Over 5★

Past and Future 4★ [S5]

Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds 4★

Dance! Dance! Dance! 4★

— Sparkle Kit TL;DR —

Basic Attack deals Quantum DMG to enemy.

Skill: Gives Crit DMG and advance forward (AF) on 1 ally

Ultimate: Gives Cipher to all allies; gain 4 skill points (SP) for team

Cipher – more DMG boost for each Talent stack

Talent: 1 ally use 1 SP = 1 stack = all allies gain DMG boost; max 3 stacks; max SP = 7 SP

Technique: Gives Misdirect on allies; Gain 3 SP at start of battle if misdirect is up

Misdirect – units will not be detected for 20 sec

— How to Play Sparkle in Simplified Form —

Sparkle buffs any crit DPS especially SP-intensive DPS and follow-up DPS. Her buffs last until the next turn of the DPS, which is good for follow-up attacks and ultimate dmg cast in between DPS end turn and DPS next turn. Since she’s a universal buffer, she could work in any crit team setup, but her SPD would vary depending on the allies she’ll have in the team.

Sparkle Gameplay in Razor Language:

Optional: Debuffer applies debuff on enemies before Sparkle turn.

Sparkle uses skill on DPS.

DPS takes turn to deal damage.

Repeat two more times to get her Ultimate.

Use ultimate during DPS turn.

Profit. ( •_•)👍

Sparkle Ultimate: Use Sparkle ultimate during DPS turn. This will ensure that her ultimate buffs last for 3 turns instead of only 2 turns.

NOTE: Sparkle's technique invisibility doesn't scare the trotters away in adventure domains. (Trotter powercreep!)

— Pulling Priority: E1 > E2 > S1 —

* Calcs from iSUMMON = Increase from E0S0 (Solo DMG calc with Dr. Ratio + Sparkle):

E1S0 = 16.01%

E2S0 = 33.09%

E0S1 = 13.30%

E1S1 = 31.44%

E2S1 = 50.80%

Counterargument: S1 Sparkle LC is like a DPS relic. Basically, if your harmony unit is SP+, they could give your entire team with 48 crit value (CV) when Mask passive is up. (You could also use this for your DPS Yukong, but you didn’t hear that from me.)

— Theoretical Simulation Calcs —

Light Cone Comparison Difference

* Calcs done by iSUMMON = Increase from LC without DMG boosts (Solo DMG calc with Seele + Sparkle)

S1 Sparkle signature LC (Earthly Escapade) = 14.99%

S5 Past and Future = 14.11%

S1 Bronya signature LC (But the Battle Isn't Over) = 13.23%

S4 Past and Future = 12.35%

S1 Ruan Mei signature LC (Past Self in Mirror) = 10.58%

S3 Past and Future = 10.58%

S5 Planetary Rendezvous = 10.58%

S4 Planetary Rendezvous = 9.26%

S2 Past and Future = 8.82%

S3 Planetary Rendezvous = 7.94%

S1 Past and Future = 7.05%

S2 Planetary Rendezvous = 6.61%

S1 Planetary Rendezvous = 5.29%

— How much boost does Sparkle bring to different hypercarry teams? —

* Calcs from Hunterkee

— Sparkle SPD synergy with her Teammates —

Fast Sparkle = 160+ spd

Slow Sparkle = Sparkle spd is lower than DPS spd (e.g. DPS = 135 spd, Sparkle = 134 spd)

Middling Sparkle = spd is less than debuffer; spd varies with other tricky harmony units

Hyperspeed Sparkle = for minmaxer and speedrunners; uses Dance x3 LC and Eagle set/Messenger set on allies; 151.4 to 184 spd

Reasoning:

Fast Sparkle enables DPS to use other boots besides SPD instead. DPS could focus more into getting ATK (or HP for Blade) and crit substats instead.

Slow Sparkle enables this rotation: DPS dmg > Sparkle skill > DPS dmg

Middling Sparkle is considered if she is paired with debuffer that needs to debuff the enemy first before DPS deal dmg or with tricky harmony units that has turn-limited buffs (e.g. Yukong).

Hyperspeed Sparkle is for 0-cycling MoC. To learn more about this, better watch this instead.

— Minimum SPD of DPS for Sparkle’s Advance Forward —

* Table from Braxophone’s Sparkle Build Guide

NOTE: To know more minimum DPS speed for Sparkle Advance Forward, check out this calculator made by kylefrs.

— Sparkle SPD Breakpoints to achieve 3-turn Ultimate —

* List from “the dude who refused to be mentioned” TC-er (with some minor additions)

— Sparkle and Bronya —

Sparkle + Bronya in same team will lead to these rotations.

Fast Bronya, Slow Sparkle: Bronya skill > DPS dmg > Sparkle skill > DPS dmg

Fast Sparkle, Slow Bronya: Sparkle skill > DPS dmg > Bronya skill > DPS dmg

Fast Sparkle, Slow Bronya (Special Case): Sparkle skill > Bronya skill > DPS dmg

Special Case: Speedtuning is ruined due to your DPS being delayed. If Sparkle is faster than Bronya and DPS is pushed forward and sits after Bronya, then this enables you to stack buffs from Sparkle and Bronya first before DPS deals damage in their turn.

Recommendation: Build Sparkle to be faster than Bronya. Reasons are the following:

Sparkle have higher base SPD = easier to build SPD

This setup enables two cases for your team to have.

Fast Sparkle = more turns = faster ultimate uptime to supply SP for team

Practical Consensus:

Fast Sparkle is most common speed for Sparkle. Slow Sparkle is possible due to Ruan Mei’s talent and having triple buffers in team. Middling Sparkle is considered due to certain conditions.

Debuffers (e.g. Silverwolf and Pela) is recommended to be faster than Sparkle to ensure that the debuffs were placed on the enemies first before Sparkle pushes forward the DPS to deal DMG.

If debuffer is slower than Sparkle, there are instances that DPS comes before debuffer and debuff on enemy already expires or ultimate of debuffer isn’t up yet. To counter this, save the ultimate of debuffer before the DPS next turn.

Depending on team allies, she needs to align her SPD with them. For example, in MMOJACKX57’s showcase, Sparkle is in middle of Ruan Mei and Yukong.

Considering Ruan Mei’s skill that buffs allies’s weakness break efficiency and Slow Yukong’s 2-turn buffs won’t affect other units’ buff priority, when Sparkle pushes up the DPS, Yukong buffs applied to Ruan Mei basics and IL enhanced basic ATKs, while Ruan’s skill improves DPS weakness break efficiency. 

Hyperspeed Sparkle works when there are SPD and advance forward boosters. For example, in Sleepy’s showcase, 4pc Messenger on Huohuo and Ruan Mei when they used their ultimate allows 172 SPD Sparkle to have 3 turns in 1st cycle 2nd wave, which means she reached pseudo-200.1 spd.

Sparkle + Ruan Mei enables dual DPS setups. Sparkle being SP generator for the team gives both DPS SPs to work around with and Ruan Mei acts as pseudo-sustain with her weakness break extension on enemies.

Sparkle also works with DoT Teams because her Talent stacks, Cipher, and A2 Trace could boost their DoT DMG and DoT allies tend to be SP-intensive as well.

DPS with SPD boost in their kits is recommended to have Sparkle speed be slower than DPS speed. Example would be Seele that has a base 115 speed with 25% SPD boost in her kit, which equates to base 143 spd. It is recommended to have Sparkle be slower than Seele, so this means 142 and less SPD is optimal for Sparkle in Seele team.

With Sparkle in team, sustains (healers or shielders) are either placed as fastest or slowest in team. If DPS is slowest in team (i.e. wearing ATK boots), sustain could be faster than DPS, so if Sparkle pushed DPS forward, sustain is still slowest.

Author’s Note:

I don’t understand the whole speedtuning stuff about Sparkle build and how her teammates should have their speeds align with Sparkle speed, hence I compiled this guide to clear up my confusion. By creating this, I kinda get an idea that Sparkle speed is more than just 160/134 spd or nothing.

(Also, compressing her GIF banner is a pain... I had to compress it several times just to fit in the max 10mb limit for GIFs.)

Their Phasmophobia Roles!

Author Note: Just a fun fic I thought of because I’ve been playing it nonstop recently

Fandoms: HSR, BSD, JJK, GI & ZZZ

SPOILERS WARNING: Amphoreous (hsr), JJK manga up to final chapter, BSD manga spoilers!!

The Pro Player

They’re always on the hunt! Immediately using their EMF and thermometer to find the ghost room. They often take multiple trips back to the van for the required materials & they know everything about every ghost.

~ HSR: Welt, Silver Wolf, Serval, Bronya, Jing Yuan, Aventurine, Jade, Aglaea, Mydei, Anaxa, Black Swan, Acheron | JJK: Suguru, Gojo, Megumi, Robin | BSD: Dazai, Chuuya, Akutagawa, Mori, Kunikida, Fyodor, Nikolai | GI: Alhaitham, Ayato, Ayaka, Yae Miko, Shinobu, Tighnari, Scaramouche, Heizou, Tighnari | ZZZ: Yanagi, Zhu Yuan, Lycaon

The New Player

They may not be completely experienced although its definitely amazing playing with them. They might ask quite a lot of questions though!

~ HSR: Robin, March 7th, Boothill, Welt, Himeko, Castorice | BSD: Kyouka, Atsushi | GI: Kaveh, Nahida, Raiden | ZZZ: Seth, Anby, Nekomata, Vivian

The Ghost’s Favourite

The ghost loves them so much, they’re always the first one hunted. Unfortunately they end up dead most of the time.

The One Who Rushes in without a plan

Maybe they forget to bring an EMF or temperature reader to check the room. Maybe they also didn’t check where the generator room was… They’re just excited about finding out what the ghost is. Sometimes they also say its name a bit too much to make it mad.

~ HSR: Boothill, Blade, Sparkle, Sampo, Phainon | BSD: Atsushi, Nikolai | JJK: Nobara | ZZZ: Ceasar, Lighter, Burnice, Rina

The Van Princess

They’re not afraid of dying, that’s definitely not they hide in the van for the entire time watching the cameras. Maybe they’re looking for a Goryo or a Mimic, but most of the game they’ll always be inside of the van.

~ HSR: Gepard, Sunday, March 7th | BSD: Kunikida, Tanizaki, Ranpo, Poe, Sigma | ZZZ: Seth, Harumasa, Billy, Corin
