At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Sparxie
- Ultimate “Party's Wildin' and Camera's Rollin'” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Boom! Sparxicle's Poppin'” Start a livestream to turn Basic ATK into "Bloom!—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Sleight of Sparx Hand” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—ignore it and Sparxie plays like a worse generic Elation unit.
- E0 without “Welcome to the Cosmic City” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Elation carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Party's Wildin' and Camera's Rollin'”, Sparxie spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Boom! Sparxicle's Poppin'” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Sparxie is often the SP sink.
Trailblazer (Elation)
- “May the Trailblaze Fly You Starward” dumps a huge single-target Lightning multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Let the Storm Rage On” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “That Smile Hits Different” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “May the Trailblaze Fly You Starward”, Trailblazer (Elation) spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Trailblazer (Elation)’s best Light Cone usually shares the character banner—E0S0 on a strong path cone still clears, but expect a noticeable gap until the signature (or a close path alternative) is online.
- Spamming “Let the Storm Rage On” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Trailblazer (Elation) is often the SP sink.
