My headcanon is that Sparkle intentionally made herself a worse version of Sunday so that she can "leak" his kit 9 months in advance for us and to piss him off. Heck she's not even HARMONY, so it makes a lot of sense. **takes a deep hit of copium**
Reason why Sunday was performing better: 1. He provide the DPS twice the amount of turn compare to Sparkle. People might not realized this but more turn mean more MV, or more times the multipliers are turned into actual dmg. This effectively make all type of dmg buff less saturated cause they're buffing more multipliers in total, which mean the performance you get from E6S1 Sparkle ended up playing catch up with just an E0S1 Sunday. She just can't give her buff to as many turn despite having stronger buff in total. The plus for being able to run Atk Boots with Sparkle also get diminished due to Sunday provide dmg% buff the most, therefore you can run Atk orb to balanced out the total stats. 2. More turn also lead to an easier time charging Robin ult, and the sooner you can catch Robin ult, the more AV you can save, preferably a good amount before the cycle end so robin ult will end toward the end of the next cycle and not the "next next" one, saving you more cycle. You can observe in the run that Robin wasn't able to get enough energy to cast her ult before the 1st cycle ended in Sparkle run, therefore cannot potentially save a cycle (and that's considering you can also recharge Robin ult before it ended in Sparkle team, which is progressively harder the longer the fight goes). More turn also mean more dmg tick coming from Robin ult. 3. Sunday not only is sp positive with his lc, he also recharge IL ult which in turn give IL more Squama Sacrosancta stacks => ease his sp consumption even more. In the run IL can still frequently spam his 3 sp EBA despite 140 - 139 being a more sp heavy setup than hyperspeed support with 160+ spd.
I am curious tho, sparkle does actually give dhil her own speed in exhange. So dhil is issentially running at 160+ speed. So shouldnt that balance somethings atleast
@@Bloomandgrow5756 The main difference in their clears is that Sunday team allowed Robin to recharge her ult with little downtime. DHIL might have more dmg with E6 Sparkle, but if he's getting less turns without Robin's ult, E6 Sparkle team will still end up clearing slower Although, as people have pointed out, comparing E6 Sparkle and E0 Sunday isn't that reasonable since E6 Sparkle prefers multiple DPS instead of just one. The comparison should still be on their base kits
@@Bloomandgrow5756 160+ hyperspeed support strat have always been inferior in term of theoretical DPAV compare to -1 spd tuning support with 100% Action Advance, this has been true for most of the DPS who can play around with its sp consumption and have a lot of their dmg dealt by taking turn, prime example are DPS like Jingliu or Blade. Before Sparkle was a thing IL can actually run this setup with Bronya, by always do +1 sp Basic then have Bronya pulling him up for -3 sp EBA, however when Sparkle was introduced her hyperspeed setup is more simple to manage, allow for -3 sp EBA every turn without any micro managing and allow for running Atk Boots. Now E0S1 Sunday in his current state is quite literally more sp positive than Sparkle and also a Bronya + Tingyun in one kit, allow for IL to -3 sp EBA on almost every turn while still using an sp heavy strat like -1 spd tuning with 100% action advance, so it only make sense that he did better than Sparkle. Her biggest flaw is only having 50% action advance, making her unable to use the -1 spd tuning strats effectively.
Simpler explanation. DHIL isn’t E2 If he has E2, Sunday combo for double turn won’t be needed. And with an extra turn for extra Lv3attack will also give him more energy. Something that can’t be done with Sunday because there won’t be enough SP for DHIL to spam Lv3. So at E0 with Sparkle, DHIL has more SP than he can spend.
Bro had to use E6 sparkle cause an E0 comparison would be a massacre . Never thought a limited harmony unit would get powercrept but damn HSR is on another level when it comes to this💀
That’s the difference between 50% AA and 100% AA. It really is lacking and Sunday fixes all of the issues with Bronya AND sparkle and he gives energy. It’s gonna be hard to powercreep him
Sparkle was a bronya “upgrade” that came with the trade off of lower AA… Sunday is just a straight upgrade with a better LC that allows for more sp efficiency with no downsides… he also has a Tingyun fusion with his kit even though it’s less than Tingyun from the ultimate is most cases, it actually isn’t because having the dps go again and use their skill generates and additional 30 energy on top of Sunday’s minimum of 40… meaning he actually generates more, it’s actually insane what Sunday can do… there’s a reason Acheron, Feixiao, and FF don’t really have energy needs because 2 characters don’t have energy, and 1 generates their own. Every single ultimate character in the game would prefer Sunday along with every servant/summon character wanting him… he actually fills two niches at once and his sp efficiency allows for Robin to fit.
I have a sneaking suspicion it is still 2 cycles vs 1 cycle, just with the Sparkle team finishing at the end of the third cycle instead of the beginning.
Never thought a limited harmony could get powercrept? Robin pretty much eliminated sparkle right after 2 patches. That was the fastest powercreep ever. Powercreep has always been a serious issue in HSR. Surprised that people just noticed it now that sunday is releasing soon.
Sparkle probably could've saved that last Cycle if she had pulled Robin up for an earlier Ult some time in the battle; still wild that E0S1 Sunday performs on par with E6S1 Sparkle.
@@HAKIMGAMERX Did you not read my comment? Sparkle cleared a Cycle slower than she could have because of Skill Issue. This is an easy 1-Cycle for the Sparkle team too.
@@HalalBread1427 in sunday run dhil had another full stacked basic attack inside the cycle, in sparkles run that probably wouldnt have happened, so even though they would have done the same cycle, sunday clear would have been better anyway
Also the thing about E6 sparkle, she only give 30%+ more CD on the dps. The actual gimmick is she spread her CD buff to the whole team. However if you are not using double dps or maybe triple dps, the CD buff is useless. The only actual significant dmg increase is at E2. E4 only give 1 more sp. So im not saying the video is misleading but its overselling sunday as sparkle replacement when you dont actually say or actually use Sparkle E6
Don't listen to those who always say, "Get every Harmony, they can't be powercrept" Sparkle is proof that Harmony can indeed be powercrept. Instead, pull for Harmony characters that will benefit your account.
they are the harder ones to powercreep compared to something like a damage dealer. They are supports afterall, they don't do damage so they have nothing to lose. Sparkle specifically was never that exceptional in the first place, she has always been a more comfy Bronya and Bronya had higher ceiling from the beginning, as well as the fact that sparkle only provides 50% AV which is a big minus vs bronya/sunday.
I mean even if spowercrept,that doesn't mean they're not good tho also multiple teams exist and like when u simultaneously wanna play X on elsewhere stuff like that
Sparkle was released on 2.0, mind you that's February 29. If Sunday does powercreep Sparkle, which is a character that is to be released on 2.7 (December) why should it matter if he indeed powercrept her? That's literally 9 months of Sparkle being good. You're telling me people should skip a good Harmony character so they can anticipate a BETTER Harmony character that's to come in what? 9-12 months? If that's your thoughts then clearly the window up your brain is quite open, considering the thoughts you have are filled with air.
The problem with sparkle is that they gave the sp generation part of the kit too much focus and gutted the rest of the kit. Even if sunday did not get buffed in v3 he would have still been more powerful than sparkle. Too bad for me though, it took months for me to get her to 170 spd, 200 crit damage
Theres probably not a lot of comps where this will make the difference but Sparkle also splashes a little bit into teamwide buffs where Sunday does not, her quantum based atk% and dmg% are both teamwide.
thats the issue, sunday fans knew that the summon thingy wasnt enough and the testers knew to, so they had to buff him to make sure ppl dont call hoyoverse a man hater, and robin and ruan mei raised the standards a lot, but everyone loved sparkles sp generation they forgot that buffing characters is also smt sparkle had to excel on.
I think we have to accept the uncomfortable truth that her kit was always underbaked. They leaned too much on the sp regeneration that the rest of her buffs feel lacking. Sunday did not kick her off her teams, Robin had already done that. At the end of the day 50% turn advance is just not as good. They dedicated one of her traces to a falling team comp (mono quantum). And that energy on basic attack trace is also ass. Even Bronya is seeing more use (Boothill,Feixiao) She couldnt save hypercarry. Sunday just has to be better than her if they want to revive the hypercarry team comp
@@jugodepina5057bro sparkle is best girl in the game or one of the best while sunday is the worst male to exist in star rail. Why tf did hoyo do such an evil thing by powercreeping sparkle with sunday😢
Powercreep this, powercreep that, as if Sparkle wasn't absolutely cooked when Robin came out. Most people are only complaining bc Sunday is a guy let's be real. Sparkle was already cooked by the fact that her AA is only 50%, she doesn't give crit rate (unless you have her LC) and they leaned too much into her skill recovery (which only truly benefits two unites - Lunae and QQ).
I don’t think that people are complaining because Sunday is a guy. I think they are complaining cause he managed to beat her in her own niche which is sp management and he isn’t even a sp support
True. But is surreal that people didn't realise that Sparkle was not more meta comparable when Robin came out because the lack of synergy of these two. They just realise now because Sunday's kit is basically the same but perfect. Even Jiaoqiu is more meta than sparkle, guves better results when pairing with Robin than Sparkle.
Cause Sunday and Sparkle is similar in role, they both hyper carry support plus SP niche, both have damge% and c.damge. Robin atleast can be use with duo dps setup
@@ladyliz0862 noo I've definitely seen some people absolutely malding that someone who dared to powercreep sparkle is a dude, even saying things like e1 s1 bronya is equal or better than him which is so obviously not true when bronya's extra sp is a gamble whereas sunday's is guaranteed no one complained when robin powercrept sparkle and people are using bronya as a coping mechanism to justify not pulling for sunday, it's definitely sunday being a guy issue, we all know this game's fandom is mostly comprised of men glazing their waifus 🌚
People complaining about powercreep right now but didn’t notice how overtuned and braindead the game got when they released Acheron and Firefly. It’s suddenly an issue when a hypercarry harmony surpassed a mediocre unit that got beaten even by Robin at hypercarries. The only unit that got powercrept here is Sparkle meanwhile almost every 1.x DPS benefits greatly from Sunday. He’s basically putting JingYuan, JingLiu, and DHIL back to the meta and is reverse powercreep to the 2.x dps units.
Mind you while this is a powercreep to Sparkle it's also biggest instance of reverse powercreep they have done in the game. 4 patches ago nobody would believe you that by 3.x JingYuan and Acheron would be on equal footing.
@@xii_____iiu no fr. Like where was this energy and concern when Robin came around? Current Sunday is still nowhere near his sister with her team-wide 100% aa. She's the one who put Sparkle in her coffin, Sunday is merely putting in the final nail LOL
The balance team can get pretty creative when they wanna change the meta to buff a unit. Theres a lot of overlap so its tough to target buff Sparkle without also buffing Sunday but not impossible
@@sf4603 Sure, they can just make relics that work on Sparkle and not anyone else without it requiring some shit like "If wearer is Quantum Harmony with >#% Crit DMG"
people complaining about sparkle powercreep, but it's kind of nice that I know I can use my early 1.x dps characters again. hopefully hsr has been controlling the amount of powercreep so all characters get some time to shine
Sparkle is an outlier, she's badly designed. Ruan Mei is a 1.x unit and still at the top of meta. Bronya is a 1.0 standard unit and still going strong, same for Tingyun who's an old 4 star
@@BananaCake26 3 of the four you mentioned are all getting crept by sunday but at least bronya has bronya advance to sunday advance to Jingyuan LL advance going for her. sparkle is just out of th job
@@Wawawawawa750 Uhhh... I fail to see how Sunday is powercreeping Tingyun when her energy utility is still better, but ok. Also, because the utility Bronya and Tingyun provide works very well with the current environment for post game, even when a unit that's a "better" version of them gets released, they won't get powercrept. The issue with Sparkle is that her kit has always had issues that people pointed out even back then. Despite her SP utility, Sparkle wasn't as SP positive as she looked on the surface. She essentially gave you +1 SP on her ult when you consider the fact that you use her skill all the time with her and she takes 3 turns generally to build up her ult. This means that her synergy with DHIL isn't as great as it seems, and once DHIL is E2+, she actually a bit anti-synergistic became her skill buff falls off because of DHIL's AA on ult. This is me saying this as Dan Heng main btw, so trust me when I say that Sparkle was never truly DHIL's ideal support. Just the best he's got with Hanya coming in as a close second (which is saying a lot since she's a niche 4 star Harmony unit lol). Regardless, people are overexaggerating and Sparkle is still great when Harmony is such a broken class in HSR.
I'm a lil bit confused here ...... doesn't sparkle provide more dmg buffs than sunday in a non summon team + she's also hyperspeed. Considering your already built dhil has at least 90% cr
@@Rogerr27 Well of course it's best you don't go into comment sections of new characters because 9 times out of ten the same thing will be continuously said even if it's wrong
@@Rogerr27 She is still the top. She hasn't been power crept yet. Its just how you play here. Sunday does well in non-summon team too cause his kit doesn't heavily rely on buffing summons. I have seen many teams played with sunday and he work really well. So to say Sparkle will still be top for generalist support, followed by Sunday with his specialty in summon based buffing. This is without the Lightcones added because that will be an entire different conversation. You can say with it Sunday becomes the Sparkle for summon. So in terms of general support, Sparkle is higher cause she can action advance support too, whereas Sunday cant. But in a a summon support, Sunday takes the lead if you showcases with JY. Its just there is not much of a power tipping between both.
It's even funny that Sunday, without being a support completely dedicated to hypercarry (remember that it was made for summon characters), has bypassed the support that was going to "revive" the hypercarry archetype
Planned Obsolescence same reason Black Swan Arcana stacks reset to 1 or Dr Ratio followup reliant on debuffs so they can make a better character later mechanically and dmg wise. Theres no reason to gimp a characters kit in such an unusual way no DOT in the game goes back to 1 stack every enemy turn but Black Swan.
They were so scared of making her powercreep Bronya only for her to get powercrept by Robin few patches later. Now the birds siblings both laugh in unison
@@kennethyoung7457 i always thought Arcana resetting to 1 was so weird. Especially since the normal DoT debuffs stay infinitely as long as you keep applying them. This is why I truly believe we’re getting a new DoT unit, who has Black Swan’s kit but without the reset and can detonate their own DoT
They where avoiding the Bronya combo who literally would break the game and probably didn't think about the solution of gatekeeping the harmony class from the AA like they did to Sunday. Honestly wish they could buff old units bc if they didn't change anything else on Sparkle, only this....she would not lose to anyone anymore
hoyo didnt realize how broken 100% aa was until they released a unit that does it for all three teammates. this is their first attempth at an aa support after bronya and they thought a bronya with better uptime and sp positivity would be too strong so they had to nerf her AA, then as time went by and bronya got better and sparkle worse it becomes clear that 100% AA is stronger than anything sparkle gives. basically they overestimated Sparkle's sp positivity and underestimated how easy it is to get robin ult, and now theyre stuck with this mess
Starting played HSR at 2.2 im shocked at 2 new 5 starts every patch and just them no viable anymore in 6month-1years after being released Its seems impossible to have Kazuha of HSR
@@ahumanperson1638 Ruan Mei was pretty much bis everywhere on release and has been pushed out of all them except break, powercreep will catch up to her eventually.
Who would've thought this showcase caused the whole hsr leak sub reddit to meltdown, thought this beta has been pretty peaceful so far then bam. Powercreep/doomposting is back in fashion.
Not doomposting when one limited 5* is objectively better than the previous one. And mind you, Sunday was not even crafted for hypercarry dps. He was crafted for summon meta, and still powercrept Sparkle.
Oh, are people finally realizing that Sparkle has always been the "worse" 5 star Harmony (which isn't saying too much since Harmony is a broken path in general)? lmao Mind you, only E1 and E2 are really good Eidolons for Sparkle, so the difference isn't a big as it might look (also, Robin and Sparkle are anti-synergistic with each other). But on a side tangent, there was a reason I prefer Hanya over Sparkle, even if Sparkle was "objectively" better. Definitely more easily available to have your SP economy utility be tied to your skill rather than ult, and her buffs are actually 2 turns for my E2+ DHIL compare to Sparkle's skill buffs. lol Anyways, this is why you will always have a better time in gacha games if you don't care about meta and just pull for who you want. And if the gacha game is no longer fun when you do that, then it's a bad game in general.
I should also add that people are very much overexaggerating about this video. Just because Sunday is the more ideal support for DHIL doesn't make Sparkle "unusable". Honestly, this is exactly why it's hard not to mock you people that play for meta. You act like it's the end of the world if a unit gets "powercreeped".
@@TheGeekyRedMage You're twisting words here. Nobody said Sparkle was "unusable" - that's just you making stuff up.

50/50 I wouldn't say that S6 Sparkle is inferior to Sunday, but I think S0 simply has fewer teams, and in this video, as for me, everything was decided by the presence of Robin So I wouldn't call this video a good example, but sparkle is now less preferred than Sunday Let's see, maybe in the future they will revive it (make it playable) , but the chances 50/50😢 Sorry for my English)
Power creep or not, I feel like if we get new characters in the future other harmonies like Sparkle can actually become viable, but also doesn’t want other harmony units. Like Bronya to Clara, you’ll lose FUA value from Clara and Hypercarry Clara isn’t ideal Robin to Clara (Even if FUA buffs are good to her, you’ll still lose FUA counter especially from Clara’s ult unlike Yunli) Sparkle to DoTs since they don’t Crit Jing Yuan doesn’t have a dedicated support until Sunday got released. Some other characters work too but his damage was flaw and doesn’t make a difference but with Sunday he also buffs LL. Can work too with Hypercarry Topaz or the unusual Hypercarry Lingsha. I would also hope for a Harmony Unit that actually buffs DoTs in which DoTs are inflicted two times at once basically double infliction (For example Black Swan’s Arcana Stacks went from 10 to 20)
Its so weird cause Sparkles eidolons arent as impactful as every other harmony unit that's been premium, like one of her traces just makes her more of a duo dps support, which isn't the archetype she really fits in. It just SUCKS she was doomed to fail with how her eidolons are more in par with the older 5 stars than others like Robin AND her team archetypes were starting to fall off
I mean all limited Harmony eidolons kind of suck. Ruan Mei outside of her E1 has trash eidolons, and even her E1 is just ok when looking at its actual value. Robin is kind of similar (if a mildly better), E1 is the best eidolon, everything after is kind of mid (E6 is decent). Sunday’s Eidolons aren’t anything insane either, they’re just decent overall.
@@poin8456 E2 Robin, E4 Robin and E6 Robin are actually broken as hell extra energy per attack and 16% more spd with basically 100% uptime is great, 50% effect res pairs with Aventurine perfectly so your team is totally immune to all debuffs and E6 makes Robin hit crazy hard during ult state she has some of the best eidolons in the game.

they think they actually care about powercreep on sparkle patch by making the action advance as a hold back (they was keeping her back cause bronya exist) and now they just stopped fucking caring and just powercrept both atp i think they probably changed the fucking devs and designers
I'm not defending Sparkle but why ult right away with Robin on 9:15? You have sustain Huohuo even, you can let the swarm minions give them some energy.

The only saving grace for Sparkle is to utilize the variable that only she have, namely "holding SP count". For now that variable means nothing, but hopefully future DPS has use of it so she can be relevant again.

E6S1 Sparkle vs E6S1 Sunday in all hypercarries DPS please, I beg you I would like to see Sparkle being obliterated more and more, that's make me genuinely happy. :D
Sunday definitely took the chicken boy insult to heart
Chicken boy? This chicken boy gonna make you beg like a chick to stay in meta 😂
Is is really personal at this point LOL
My headcanon is that Sparkle intentionally made herself a worse version of Sunday so that she can "leak" his kit 9 months in advance for us and to piss him off. Heck she's not even HARMONY, so it makes a lot of sense. **takes a deep hit of copium**
@@Seo20 Girl had it cominh
Reason why Sunday was performing better:
1. He provide the DPS twice the amount of turn compare to Sparkle. People might not realized this but more turn mean more MV, or more times the multipliers are turned into actual dmg. This effectively make all type of dmg buff less saturated cause they're buffing more multipliers in total, which mean the performance you get from E6S1 Sparkle ended up playing catch up with just an E0S1 Sunday. She just can't give her buff to as many turn despite having stronger buff in total. The plus for being able to run Atk Boots with Sparkle also get diminished due to Sunday provide dmg% buff the most, therefore you can run Atk orb to balanced out the total stats.
2. More turn also lead to an easier time charging Robin ult, and the sooner you can catch Robin ult, the more AV you can save, preferably a good amount before the cycle end so robin ult will end toward the end of the next cycle and not the "next next" one, saving you more cycle. You can observe in the run that Robin wasn't able to get enough energy to cast her ult before the 1st cycle ended in Sparkle run, therefore cannot potentially save a cycle (and that's considering you can also recharge Robin ult before it ended in Sparkle team, which is progressively harder the longer the fight goes). More turn also mean more dmg tick coming from Robin ult.
3. Sunday not only is sp positive with his lc, he also recharge IL ult which in turn give IL more Squama Sacrosancta stacks => ease his sp consumption even more. In the run IL can still frequently spam his 3 sp EBA despite 140 - 139 being a more sp heavy setup than hyperspeed support with 160+ spd.
I am curious tho, sparkle does actually give dhil her own speed in exhange. So dhil is issentially running at 160+ speed. So shouldnt that balance somethings atleast
With Sunday IL speed is 240, Sparkle is just dead unit at this point.@@Bloomandgrow5756
@@Bloomandgrow5756 The main difference in their clears is that Sunday team allowed Robin to recharge her ult with little downtime. DHIL might have more dmg with E6 Sparkle, but if he's getting less turns without Robin's ult, E6 Sparkle team will still end up clearing slower
Although, as people have pointed out, comparing E6 Sparkle and E0 Sunday isn't that reasonable since E6 Sparkle prefers multiple DPS instead of just one. The comparison should still be on their base kits
@@Bloomandgrow5756 160+ hyperspeed support strat have always been inferior in term of theoretical DPAV compare to -1 spd tuning support with 100% Action Advance, this has been true for most of the DPS who can play around with its sp consumption and have a lot of their dmg dealt by taking turn, prime example are DPS like Jingliu or Blade.
Before Sparkle was a thing IL can actually run this setup with Bronya, by always do +1 sp Basic then have Bronya pulling him up for -3 sp EBA, however when Sparkle was introduced her hyperspeed setup is more simple to manage, allow for -3 sp EBA every turn without any micro managing and allow for running Atk Boots.
Now E0S1 Sunday in his current state is quite literally more sp positive than Sparkle and also a Bronya + Tingyun in one kit, allow for IL to -3 sp EBA on almost every turn while still using an sp heavy strat like -1 spd tuning with 100% action advance, so it only make sense that he did better than Sparkle. Her biggest flaw is only having 50% action advance, making her unable to use the -1 spd tuning strats effectively.
Simpler explanation. DHIL isn’t E2
If he has E2, Sunday combo for double turn won’t be needed.
And with an extra turn for extra Lv3attack will also give him more energy. Something that can’t be done with Sunday because there won’t be enough SP for DHIL to spam Lv3.
So at E0 with Sparkle, DHIL has more SP than he can spend.
peak powercreep, true Honkai experience
But sparkle does skill points
@@BmanZeroBlank and sunday refunds them
Not all units get powercrept though only some unfortunate ones. For example Ruan Mei still going strong even with Fugue release.
@@BmanZeroBlank if you play sunday correctly he actually more skill point positive then sparkle
@@aliceheart1120 And playing Sunday "correctly" is just E spam on Beatified and keep his ult up.
Stand proud Sparkle. You lasted longer than Jingliu patchwise.
She got powercrept by Robin in 2 patches 😭
Bro had to use E6 sparkle cause an E0 comparison would be a massacre . Never thought a limited harmony unit would get powercrept but damn HSR is on another level when it comes to this💀
That’s the difference between 50% AA and 100% AA. It really is lacking and Sunday fixes all of the issues with Bronya AND sparkle and he gives energy. It’s gonna be hard to powercreep him
Sparkle was a bronya “upgrade” that came with the trade off of lower AA… Sunday is just a straight upgrade with a better LC that allows for more sp efficiency with no downsides… he also has a Tingyun fusion with his kit even though it’s less than Tingyun from the ultimate is most cases, it actually isn’t because having the dps go again and use their skill generates and additional 30 energy on top of Sunday’s minimum of 40… meaning he actually generates more, it’s actually insane what Sunday can do… there’s a reason Acheron, Feixiao, and FF don’t really have energy needs because 2 characters don’t have energy, and 1 generates their own.
Every single ultimate character in the game would prefer Sunday along with every servant/summon character wanting him… he actually fills two niches at once and his sp efficiency allows for Robin to fit.
I have a sneaking suspicion it is still 2 cycles vs 1 cycle, just with the Sparkle team finishing at the end of the third cycle instead of the beginning.
Never thought a limited harmony could get powercrept? Robin pretty much eliminated sparkle right after 2 patches. That was the fastest powercreep ever.
Powercreep has always been a serious issue in HSR. Surprised that people just noticed it now that sunday is releasing soon.
@@Windtormenthave u never played a gacha game before… the powercreep in this game is nothing compared to other gacha games bffr
Sparkle probably could've saved that last Cycle if she had pulled Robin up for an earlier Ult some time in the battle; still wild that E0S1 Sunday performs on par with E6S1 Sparkle.
Better to be exact, E0S1 Sunday : 1 cycles, E6S1 Sparkle : 2 cycles
@@HAKIMGAMERX I wonder what E6S1 sunday vs E6S1 sparkle would look like😅
@@HAKIMGAMERX Did you not read my comment? Sparkle cleared a Cycle slower than she could have because of Skill Issue. This is an easy 1-Cycle for the Sparkle team too.
@@HalalBread1427 in sunday run dhil had another full stacked basic attack inside the cycle, in sparkles run that probably wouldnt have happened, so even though they would have done the same cycle, sunday clear would have been better anyway
Also the thing about E6 sparkle, she only give 30%+ more CD on the dps. The actual gimmick is she spread her CD buff to the whole team. However if you are not using double dps or maybe triple dps, the CD buff is useless.
The only actual significant dmg increase is at E2. E4 only give 1 more sp. So im not saying the video is misleading but its overselling sunday as sparkle replacement when you dont actually say or actually use Sparkle E6
Don't listen to those who always say, "Get every Harmony, they can't be powercrept"
Sparkle is proof that Harmony can indeed be powercrept. Instead, pull for Harmony characters that will benefit your account.
I mean, if you dont use 3 turn setup in 0 cycle with Sparkle she was clearly not that good anyways
they are the harder ones to powercreep compared to something like a damage dealer. They are supports afterall, they don't do damage so they have nothing to lose. Sparkle specifically was never that exceptional in the first place, she has always been a more comfy Bronya and Bronya had higher ceiling from the beginning, as well as the fact that sparkle only provides 50% AV which is a big minus vs bronya/sunday.
I mean even if spowercrept,that doesn't mean they're not good tho also multiple teams exist and like when u simultaneously wanna play X on elsewhere stuff like that
you cant go wrong with support, and thats a sure thing
Sparkle was released on 2.0, mind you that's February 29. If Sunday does powercreep Sparkle, which is a character that is to be released on 2.7 (December) why should it matter if he indeed powercrept her? That's literally 9 months of Sparkle being good. You're telling me people should skip a good Harmony character so they can anticipate a BETTER Harmony character that's to come in what? 9-12 months? If that's your thoughts then clearly the window up your brain is quite open, considering the thoughts you have are filled with air.
The problem with sparkle is that they gave the sp generation part of the kit too much focus and gutted the rest of the kit. Even if sunday did not get buffed in v3 he would have still been more powerful than sparkle. Too bad for me though, it took months for me to get her to 170 spd, 200 crit damage
you need e4 sparkle to compete with e0s1 sunday sp generation lmao, they gave her a niche then gave better version to sunday
I feel like they kinda held back on her SP gen too, hanya of all characters do it way better
@@simpleman9889then give sparkle Sunday’s lc and she’ll generate more sp.
Theres probably not a lot of comps where this will make the difference but Sparkle also splashes a little bit into teamwide buffs where Sunday does not, her quantum based atk% and dmg% are both teamwide.
thats the issue, sunday fans knew that the summon thingy wasnt enough and the testers knew to, so they had to buff him to make sure ppl dont call hoyoverse a man hater, and robin and ruan mei raised the standards a lot, but everyone loved sparkles sp generation they forgot that buffing characters is also smt sparkle had to excel on.
I think we have to accept the uncomfortable truth that her kit was always underbaked. They leaned too much on the sp regeneration that the rest of her buffs feel lacking. Sunday did not kick her off her teams, Robin had already done that. At the end of the day 50% turn advance is just not as good. They dedicated one of her traces to a falling team comp (mono quantum). And that energy on basic attack trace is also ass. Even Bronya is seeing more use (Boothill,Feixiao) She couldnt save hypercarry. Sunday just has to be better than her if they want to revive the hypercarry team comp
Her kit is kinda like her role in the trailblaze mission. All flash and no substance
Ya hoyo saw sparkle not even pulling hypercarry team up to current meta, her release didn’t SAVE hypercarry so Sunday has to do it better lol
And the funny thing, this team not even sunday's best team, since he is supposed to be Summons-Servants characters anyway
this is an E6 character, it's insane how bad she is
Whats crazier is that this is pretty much just weakest state when Servant characters arrive he'll shape the meta

Powercreep this, powercreep that, as if Sparkle wasn't absolutely cooked when Robin came out. Most people are only complaining bc Sunday is a guy let's be real. Sparkle was already cooked by the fact that her AA is only 50%, she doesn't give crit rate (unless you have her LC) and they leaned too much into her skill recovery (which only truly benefits two unites - Lunae and QQ).
I don’t think that people are complaining because Sunday is a guy. I think they are complaining cause he managed to beat her in her own niche which is sp management and he isn’t even a sp support
True. But is surreal that people didn't realise that Sparkle was not more meta comparable when Robin came out because the lack of synergy of these two.
They just realise now because Sunday's kit is basically the same but perfect. Even Jiaoqiu is more meta than sparkle, guves better results when pairing with Robin than Sparkle.
Cause Sunday and Sparkle is similar in role, they both hyper carry support plus SP niche, both have damge% and c.damge. Robin atleast can be use with duo dps setup
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK
@@ladyliz0862 noo I've definitely seen some people absolutely malding that someone who dared to powercreep sparkle is a dude, even saying things like e1 s1 bronya is equal or better than him which is so obviously not true when bronya's extra sp is a gamble whereas sunday's is guaranteed
no one complained when robin powercrept sparkle and people are using bronya as a coping mechanism to justify not pulling for sunday, it's definitely sunday being a guy issue, we all know this game's fandom is mostly comprised of men glazing their waifus 🌚
People complaining about powercreep right now but didn’t notice how overtuned and braindead the game got when they released Acheron and Firefly. It’s suddenly an issue when a hypercarry harmony surpassed a mediocre unit that got beaten even by Robin at hypercarries. The only unit that got powercrept here is Sparkle meanwhile almost every 1.x DPS benefits greatly from Sunday. He’s basically putting JingYuan, JingLiu, and DHIL back to the meta and is reverse powercreep to the 2.x dps units.
Unironically yeah. Crippling Jiaqou and making Sunday so broken is bringing Jing Yuan and Acheron on equal footing, which is crazy
b-but... sparkle is e6... and robin definitely didnt powercreep her even though she did...
we all know that they're barking because he's a male character. if mhy made sunday a girl, they wouldn't even bat an eye.

@@Wawawawawa750 Uhhh... I fail to see how Sunday is powercreeping Tingyun when her energy utility is still better, but ok. Also, because the utility Bronya and Tingyun provide works very well with the current environment for post game, even when a unit that's a "better" version of them gets released, they won't get powercrept.
The issue with Sparkle is that her kit has always had issues that people pointed out even back then. Despite her SP utility, Sparkle wasn't as SP positive as she looked on the surface. She essentially gave you +1 SP on her ult when you consider the fact that you use her skill all the time with her and she takes 3 turns generally to build up her ult. This means that her synergy with DHIL isn't as great as it seems, and once DHIL is E2+, she actually a bit anti-synergistic became her skill buff falls off because of DHIL's AA on ult. This is me saying this as Dan Heng main btw, so trust me when I say that Sparkle was never truly DHIL's ideal support. Just the best he's got with Hanya coming in as a close second (which is saying a lot since she's a niche 4 star Harmony unit lol).
Regardless, people are overexaggerating and Sparkle is still great when Harmony is such a broken class in HSR.
Sparkle found in ditch 😂, she got powercrept in her best archetype (sp-consumption)

@@Rogerr27 She is still the top. She hasn't been power crept yet. Its just how you play here. Sunday does well in non-summon team too cause his kit doesn't heavily rely on buffing summons. I have seen many teams played with sunday and he work really well. So to say Sparkle will still be top for generalist support, followed by Sunday with his specialty in summon based buffing. This is without the Lightcones added because that will be an entire different conversation. You can say with it Sunday becomes the Sparkle for summon. So in terms of general support, Sparkle is higher cause she can action advance support too, whereas Sunday cant. But in a a summon support, Sunday takes the lead if you showcases with JY. Its just there is not much of a power tipping between both.
Sunday can AV aby support just not harmony ones.
Sparkle loses to every single team.
She still has mono-copium (monoquantum) at least

Why not 100%advance foward its fine even if is not effected on other harmony unit.
Planned Obsolescence same reason Black Swan Arcana stacks reset to 1 or Dr Ratio followup reliant on debuffs so they can make a better character later mechanically and dmg wise.

They were so scared of making her powercreep Bronya only for her to get powercrept by Robin few patches later. Now the birds siblings both laugh in unison
@@kennethyoung7457 i always thought Arcana resetting to 1 was so weird. Especially since the normal DoT debuffs stay infinitely as long as you keep applying them. This is why I truly believe we’re getting a new DoT unit, who has Black Swan’s kit but without the reset and can detonate their own DoT
They where avoiding the Bronya combo who literally would break the game and probably didn't think about the solution of gatekeeping the harmony class from the AA like they did to Sunday. Honestly wish they could buff old units bc if they didn't change anything else on Sparkle, only this....she would not lose to anyone anymore
hoyo didnt realize how broken 100% aa was until they released a unit that does it for all three teammates. this is their first attempth at an aa support after bronya and they thought a bronya with better uptime and sp positivity would be too strong so they had to nerf her AA, then as time went by and bronya got better and sparkle worse it becomes clear that 100% AA is stronger than anything sparkle gives. basically they overestimated Sparkle's sp positivity and underestimated how easy it is to get robin ult, and now theyre stuck with this mess

That's crazy lmao Sparkle
Never before have I seen a more compelling argument against vertical investing supports
Oh, are people finally realizing that Sparkle has always been the "worse" 5 star Harmony (which isn't saying too much since Harmony is a broken path in general)? lmao
Mind you, only E1 and E2 are really good Eidolons for Sparkle, so the difference isn't a big as it might look (also, Robin and Sparkle are anti-synergistic with each other). But on a side tangent, there was a reason I prefer Hanya over Sparkle, even if Sparkle was "objectively" better. Definitely more easily available to have your SP economy utility be tied to your skill rather than ult, and her buffs are actually 2 turns for my E2+ DHIL compare to Sparkle's skill buffs. lol
Anyways, this is why you will always have a better time in gacha games if you don't care about meta and just pull for who you want. And if the gacha game is no longer fun when you do that, then it's a bad game in general.
I should also add that people are very much overexaggerating about this video. Just because Sunday is the more ideal support for DHIL doesn't make Sparkle "unusable".

Sunday
Lightcone: Past and Future (S5)
//
The idea here is to keep Yukong's "Roaring Bowstrings" buff active at all times.
Using meshing cogs to build up energy for ultimate fast (that's why build a lot of speed on Yukong).
Use Yukong skill at the start of the battle for 88% increase on ATK for all allies.
Then use Yukong ultimate every time its available. (for Crit rate 29.5% and Crit DMG +70.4% for all allies)
Then stack buffs on Jing Yuan.
Rotation in mind:
Before entering battle, Use everyone technique.
Enter battle with Yukong Technique for 2 stacks of "Roaring Bowstrings".
Use Yukong skill while "Roaring Bowstrings" active.
When possible;
Use Yukong skill before using Robin Ultimate for +/-5k ATK on Robin before using ult. (Yukong skill at Lv.12 increase ATK for all allies by 88%)
Use Yukong ultimate whenever possible. (Note at E6 Yukong gains 1 stack of "Roaring Bowstrings" after using ultimate also)
I ain't reading all that. What's your point?
chat is this real?
it is my friend
50/50 I wouldn't say that S6 Sparkle is inferior to Sunday, but I think S0 simply has fewer teams, and in this video, as for me, everything was decided by the presence of Robin
So I wouldn't call this video a good example, but sparkle is now less preferred than Sunday
Let's see, maybe in the future they will revive it (make it playable) , but the chances 50/50😢
Sorry for my English)
Power creep or not, I feel like if we get new characters in the future other harmonies like Sparkle can actually become viable, but also doesn’t want other harmony units.
Like Bronya to Clara, you’ll lose FUA value from Clara and Hypercarry Clara isn’t ideal
Robin to Clara (Even if FUA buffs are good to her, you’ll still lose FUA counter especially from Clara’s ult unlike Yunli)
Sparkle to DoTs since they don’t Crit
Jing Yuan doesn’t have a dedicated support until Sunday got released. Some other characters work too but his damage was flaw and doesn’t make a difference but with Sunday he also buffs LL. Can work too with Hypercarry Topaz or the unusual Hypercarry Lingsha.
I would also hope for a Harmony Unit that actually buffs DoTs in which DoTs are inflicted two times at once basically double infliction (For example Black Swan’s Arcana Stacks went from 10 to 20)
Its so weird cause Sparkles eidolons arent as impactful as every other harmony unit that's been premium, like one of her traces just makes her more of a duo dps support, which isn't the archetype she really fits in. It just SUCKS she was doomed to fail with how her eidolons are more in par with the older 5 stars than others like Robin AND her team archetypes were starting to fall off
I mean all limited Harmony eidolons kind of suck.
Ruan Mei outside of her E1 has trash eidolons, and even her E1 is just ok when looking at its actual value.
Robin is kind of similar (if a mildly better), E1 is the best eidolon, everything after is kind of mid (E6 is decent).
Sunday’s Eidolons aren’t anything insane either, they’re just decent overall.
@@poin8456 E2 Robin, E4 Robin and E6 Robin are actually broken as hell extra energy per attack and 16% more spd with basically 100% uptime is great, 50% effect res pairs with Aventurine perfectly so your team is totally immune to all debuffs and E6 makes Robin hit crazy hard during ult state she has some of the best eidolons in the game.
@@kennethyoung7457yeah but you gotta reconsider how much it will cost you
so e1 is atleast the best budget option
But we are talking about the pure power of Eidolons, not how much they cost@@zxcentsensei.sunder
@@kennethyoung7457 E2 Robin is good for flexibility, but doesn’t improve her actual standard team comps by much, E4 Robin doesn’t increase your DPS threshold at all, and is only situationally decent for consistency, and E6 Robin is good, but limited in its power.
Overall I think she has better eidolons than Sparkle herself, but that isn’t saying much imo.
Sparkle is the best propagation support. She will back to the meta 3 years from now
they think they actually care about powercreep on sparkle patch
by making the action advance as a hold back
(they was keeping her back cause bronya exist)
and now they just stopped fucking caring and just powercrept both
atp i think they probably changed the fucking devs and designers
I'm not defending Sparkle but why ult right away with Robin on 9:15? You have sustain Huohuo even, you can let the swarm minions give them some energy. Plus target some of DHIL's 3/target to the trotters for buff. But yes ofc, its an e6 support vs e0 lmao. We should expect that even misplays, we should be fine..
RIP Sparkle: didn't even pull for her.
Im going to kms why did i waste 80 pulls on sparkle 😭😭
Damn sparkle got so dirty and Sunday why you so godly and powerful. Noooooo!!!
Sunday is just that insane😂thats it.
But but those nerds on HSR subreddit love to pretend there's no powercreep going on!
Someone needs to take down this video
We don’t want them to nerf Sunday!
Devs won't dare fanbase were anticipating Sunday over a year now and CN players is watch( basically the leviathan in gacha game) if they nerf him they're gonna demand him to be come even more op'ier if devs nerf him.
@@armihnfruity4788 that’s what I wanna believe but as long as Sunday is not a Waifu there’s no guarantee he’ll be safe
They probably will not nerf. It's just sparkle's kit problem. She already is worse than Robin, jiaoqiu (not considering a solo character, and works in pf), bronya and even ruan mei, who literally gets humiliate by Robin in crit teams.
Nerf isn't exclusive to non waifu characters tho
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 welp in the end they ended up nerfing him for non summon type units (minus 10 damage bonus on skill), and his eidolon (16 def ignore rather than 20). In exchange summons are more favored. But they also nerfed his set for the servant meta (the buff doesn’t apply to chars with servants only now).
They also nerfed Fugue more badly…
Common L for Hoyo
I think I know who to blame again if the brother got nerfed
Chevvy - responsible for the nerf of E1 robin
Yelovvvv - responsible for the nerf of sunday?
ah yes, I still remembered the fabled dps Robin meme team back in her v1 beta
Only chevvy brought out those e1 Robin plays rip biggest Robin salesman (but also also their Critfly + Robin cook)
@@sobeeberly7680 does anyone know where their videos are 😭😭
i doubt it bcs cn still wants buffs for him especially his eidolons apparently
@@Wawawawawa750buff his eidolon, nerf base kit, seem fair and balance
When your character is so bad that you have to transfer her to another whole other ip… Welcome to hi3 ig 🤣
She's also bad there 😂😂😂
Honestly all that eidolons beyond e1 could probably be traded for 168 spd Eagle set DDD for Sparkle. But yeah when you need that much investment be on par it’s kinda hard to make people not think you’re powercrept.
Sunday is just that guy
You should pull Robin 1st wave wtf this is not even fair for Sparkle
Sparkle powerceep letsss gooo, I've always hated that annoying girl
based
Unbased
It turns out that in addition to e6 the dragon should spin not e6 sparkle (Now she is E2 s1) , but just sunday...
Give advice on the best squad for a dragon, with the establishment of a constellation, because now I am not sure that I have made a squad correctly...
Sorry for my English :(
dhil sunday robin and huohuo are his best team, albeit with E2 youre gonna have to work around the sp usage and occasionally basic attack with him to generate sp then sunday buff then 3EBA
@@yaoiirl Thank you, I'll take your advice, I'll get a hoho for this team.
Sparkle losing is probably why she moved to Honkai Impact😂
Not like she's any better there.
@@p1p3B0mber She buffed 2 fire dps, making one meta again and the other one was already OP.
She covers QUA content as a dps, she's better here because she'll have some use and they'll release more characters that she can buff.
She also have a locked skill that that's for the new Astral Ring type in 8.0
So she's solid
@@p1p3B0mberShe is
you're forgot MoC buff
My Sparkles literally having seizure after watching this video
Edit: I will whale on Sunday regardless
As Sparkle hater, I'm not sad at all 😂. Happier as Sunday fan.
Sparkle still good this, Sparkle powercreep that I'M USING BOTH IN MY TEAMS
Sparkle isn’t sparkling anymore😭
This is why speedtuning is so important in this game. This sparkle was played terribly wrong.
There's no point in having 160 speed if you dont act 3 times per cycle. If your sparkle acted 3 times per cycle, you could've 0 cycle
If sparkle was acting 3 times, you could've hold robin ult for the second wave, which would allow you to act 5 times in the second wave. That would've resulted in a 0 cycle
@@aliounethiaw1443 dont you need 200 spd for 3 turns?
@@applewarrior1529 164 speed + s5 DDD + eagle and you are good to go
thầy ơi, xin xóa vid trc khi hoyo thấy và nerf sunday. con cần sunday MẠNH HƠN!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Arent sparkle eidolons not that much in terms of power but instead making her more of an AOE buffer? I think the only real difference is in the e2, so unless is dual dps, this and an e2 sparkle shouldnt be that different, except for the extra skill point in the e4.
Is like comparing the dps of an c6 hu tao and a c0 arlechinno, the constallations doesnt matter because the diferrences with herself with or without the constallations were almost non existant to being with
Shows you how ass old characters’ kit are. Doesn’t change the fact e6 Sparkle and Hutao got mogged tho 💀
E0Sunday Vs E6Sparkle 💀💀💀
i'm lowk happy bc i didn't rlly like sparkle so seeing her getting powercrept by my favorite character brings me satisfaction :>
same lmao, she was also "best" for argenti but i still skipped
now my lord Sunday is best in slot 🫶
can you do Sunday Sparkle ?
Planning on pulling sunday and already got robin + dhil. But i dont have huohuo. Is ghall with QPQ enough or is she a must in the team ? Or maybe someone else can take her place too ?
Why not both? I have sparkle and pulling Sunday for IL and future DPS. Is there anyway you could showcase both together?
It's so funny how I just got my Bronya & Sparkle to 175 -1 SPD and not even a month later I'm happily stealing the latter's relics back for whatever nonsense comp I'm running this time 😭 sorry Blade, gotta wait for 2.7...
I love Sunsay but lets be real, her e6 gives teamwide crit dmg buff so she might do better with multiple dps in a team. As to what team comp it is idk 😅
But yeah, outside her e6 and quantum team, Sunday ❤
Even with dual dps/fua teams, the problem is Robin exists. Sparkle's E6 might make her buffs teamwide, but Robin's buffs even at just E0 are also teamwide, and are more suited for that kind of team comp.
@@cryophoenix6114 true, her advance and buff on skill is single target but that cons kinda make her very weird usage-wise
For team wide buff, we already have RM and robin
@@bubblesparksFuckin imagine if her skill AA also became a teamwide buff 😭 Robin would have been even more doomposted (as if one unit's E6 makes another's E0 obsolete)
Great… This is just awesome. I pulled Sparkle for absolutely no reason. Wonderful. I am absolutely ecstatic. While yes, she will still be viable for me right now (Sunday is on my Yunli team), but when I get Jiaoqiu, she’ll be replaced. The only way she survives on my account is if I get e2 Acheron….
Same here, I pulled sparkle for e2 Acheron. My Acheron currently is on e0 and I am not sure gonna pull Acheron in her next rerun because huge HP boss update in MoC. Remembrance looks fun as well
i guess its time to drop the game
Cry about it while you're at it
@@blueblazedemon go suck off the hsr dev's while you're at it then?
@@blueblazedemon see you in 1 year when you gonna whine about e6 sunday being powercrept in his summon niche
@blueblazedemon bro if someone wants to drop a game cause they are unhappy with it it's fine they are entitled to it. you're not hsrs CEO to care about this game this much.
@@leylintempest1714 I simply told him to cry about it that's it because that's what he's doing 🗿🗿🗿 and I am CEO
And here I am with e0s1 sparkle thinking she would save Jing Yuan back in 2.0...
終わりだよ😂
Sparkle + Sunday + Huohuo = infinite money glitch
Bronya: ⚰
Nah. She's ther first option to 0 cycle in Crit teams, now exist 2 Bronya.
Nah, she can 100 percent advance robin unlike his brother+bronya gives atk percentage boost which sunday and sparkle(e0) lacks
But sparkle... sunday just took everything from her except mono quantum which is dead already
The only saving grace for Sparkle is to utilize the variable that only she have, namely "holding SP count". For now that variable means nothing, but hopefully future DPS has use of it so she can be relevant again.
It's crazy how Genshin's balance team is so much better than Honkai's
lol no, Venti literally got powercrept by Kazuha in one patch. It's just that genshin has baby level difficulty, compare klee to Arlechino and it's not even close. Genshin players just keep coping that there's no powercreep.
they....are different games with different game mechanics
@@tarubus2728i mean, if most of the old units are still viable at the fifth year of the game, even though powercreep is there it wont matter. unlike hsr's hp inflation
Unfortunately i don't think i be able to pull for sunday...i'm still farming jade still trying to pull for aventurine..lose my 50/50 to bailu PAK
LMAOOO thank god i lost my sparkle 50/50, god bless
this is just sad
Đỉnh cao powercreep, trước ta có Hân+Tingyun 4* 1 team để buff crit dmg, đẩy lượt và nạp nl thì giờ ta có 2 trong 1 😅
Can you do a Sunday vs Robin in a Acheron team comp w Jiaoqiu?
I KINDA FEEL BAD FOR SPARKLE BECAUSE I LIKE HER, SHE WAS GREAT ON RELEASE AND FELL OF SO QUICKLY
They released her too late, she feels 1.x. Released her> divert the meta> direction came back> new stronger supports created.
Can Sparkle and Sunday be together in one team? I don't have Robin and had Sparkle. Wouldn't that be viable or can they be paired together? I will probably use them both on my DHIL or my Yunli.
Tingyun better for the attack buff, Yunli already has alot of CDMG, sparkle CDMG buffs is nothing
Well yes but sparkle’s buff expires the moment Sunday AA’s the dps so it’s kinda useless. You might as well any other harmony over her when you play sunday
I regret pulling Sparkle E0S1...
Me.......
@@niigolover YEP
Me too and i was not going to pull her, but they said that she was going to be the best Ratio slot... then Robin came out and i was poor
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 Except I pulled her on her latest rerun, which was not that long even ago, alongside with Jiaoqiu. If only I knew about Sunday earlier
@yuudn pulled her lc on rerun💀 should've pulled jiaoqiu instead
E6S1 Sparkle vs E6S1 Sunday in all hypercarries DPS please, I beg you
I would like to see Sparkle being obliterated more and more, that's make me genuinely happy. :D
🤡
Adiós Sparkle, te irá mejor en Honkai Impact
Bruh i just have sparkle and ruan mei for support, and now one of them already got powercrept
yeah lowkey makes me want to drop the game. even if i decide to stay i will definitely not spend on this again, lesson learnt.
It's totaly bullshit like e6 ruanmei vs e1 robin video last time, both unit provide different buff a real fair fight if it sunday vs e6 bronya
