Honkai Star Rail: Sparkle Farming Guide – All Ascension & Trace Materials

The 2.0 Penacony update in Honkai Star Rail is approaching a lot faster than most players can keep up right now, and there is still a lot to prepare for the big launch day on February 8, 2024! If you plan on pulling for the new 5-Star Sparkle, we prepared a farming list for her down below!

The 2.0 update is already waiting around the corner, and a lot of players can’t wait to pull for all the new characters HoYoverse has prepared for us! The one I'm looking forward to adding to my account the most is Sparkle! Her mysterious and dangerous theme just really spoke to me for some reason!

Whether Black Swan or Sparkle will be seen in the first phase is not yet one hundred percent certain, but as of right now, Sparkle seems to be available in the second half, starting on February 28, 2024!

Sparkle is a character who has been around on various leak forums for quite some time now, but back then she was still known as Hanabi! It was unclear for a long time what Sparkle's exact name would be, but HoYoverse soon shed some light on the matter with the release of her official splash art, showing her real name being indeed Sparkle.

As mentioned a little earlier, Sparkle is a rather mysterious person who doesn't reveal much about herself, but when she does, you should always assume that it was all an act. Her life is a theatrical performance, and she loves nothing more than to slip into different roles and live life according to her very own rules.
