IS "SPARKLING SAND" WORTH IT ON HONKAI STAR RAIL?

IS “SPARKLING SAND” WORTH IT ON HONKAI STAR RAIL?

Today we will analyze another of the Sets of Ornaments available in Honkai Star Rail called Glittering Arena , this set will favor the CRIT Probability of our characters, but it will not be a set that we are going to equip to the characters that are fair in said statistic, quite the opposite. , since we will need a high Critical Chance rate to activate the effects of this set.

This Set of Ornaments is quite similar to another one called Inert Salsotto , because both give us the same amount of CRIT Chance when equipped, their secondary effects enhance certain abilities for our characters and also, these are activated based on the rate of Prob. CRIT that our characters have. They only differ in the type of ability that they boost and that to activate the second effect of Glittering Sand we will need to have a higher Critical Chance than with Salsotto Interte.

Let’s go with its location, its effects and after this, the ideal characters to equip it with!

LOCATION AND PARTS

We will be able to get pieces of the “Sparkling Sand” Ornament Set by consuming immersors while doing World 7 of the Simulated Universe . By exchanging our plungers in this world, we can also get pieces of the Ornament Set called «Broken Keel», which increases the Effect Resistance of its wearer and boosts the CRIT Damage of the whole party a little if the previous statistic reaches the least . to 30%.

These are the pieces of the set:

  • Plano Sphere : Taikiyan Laser Stadium.
  • Binding Rope : Taikiyan’s Track of Light.

SET EFFECT

Next we will see the effects that the set of this set provides us:

  • 2 Pieces : The wearer’s CRIT Chance is increased by 8%. If their CRIT Chance reaches 70% or higher, the wearer of this Ornament Set will increase their Basic ATK and Basic Ability damage by 20%.

As we mentioned before, the base effect of Glittering Sand gives us an 8% CRIT Chance just like the Inert Salsotto Ornament Set. Increasing this stat will be very favorable for all the DPS in the game, so it is great for us to have more than one set that allows us to increase it.

However, we will need to have a 70% CRIT Chance or more in the build of the wearer of this Ornament Set to activate its second effect which will increase the damage of the wearer’s Basic Attacks and Basic Ability by 20%.

This is a pretty good bonus for both abilities, but it will be quite difficult to get that much Critical Chance on our characters without neglecting the other stats, so it won’t be a highly recommended set for most characters.

BEST CHARACTERS FOR THE ORNAMENT SET

The characters that will get the most out of this Set of Ornaments will be those whose main source of damage comes from their Basic Attack or from their Basic Ability:

Blade on Honkai Star Rail

Blade is a character that doesn’t deal damage when executing his Basic Ability, but it allows him to greatly boost the damage of his Basic Attacks for three turns (apart from this, it also gives him an overall damage increase), so that the vast majority of his damage will come from his empowered Basic Attacks, and he’ll really take advantage of the 20% damage to Basic Attacks this set brings him.

The only problem is getting to 70% CRIT Chance on his build , but if you happen to get his Cone of Light called « Unreachable Shore », you won’t have any problem getting the side effects of this Ornament Set.

Qingque on Honkai Star Rail

Qingque is another character that works similarly to Blade, he doesn’t deal damage with his Basic Ability, but it allows him to boost his damage and have a chance to get four jades tokens of the same suit, when this happens, Qingque’s Normal Attacks are they power up and deal pretty devastating damage.

Therefore, the main source of his damage will be these boosted Normal Attacks and we’ll be very interested in boosting them with the Glittering Sand Ornaments Set; the only problem will be getting 70% CRIT Chance with this character.

These are other characters that can take advantage of this Ornament Set:

  • Yanqing : This character’s Talent allows him to significantly increase his CRIT Chance, so you won’t need to invest much in that stat to unlock the effects of this Ornament Set. Certainly what he does the most damage is his Ultimate, but since it has a very high energy cost, we will have to use his Basic Ability a lot to maintain the effects of the Talent and we will take advantage of the damage increase of this set.
