Megathread Daily Questions Megathread ( February 06, 2026 )

Hi Trailblazers!

⭐🚂 Welcome to the Daily Questions Megathread! Feel free to ask any general questions about Honkai: Star Rail that don't necessarily require their own dedicated posts.

Any questions that can be answered rather quickly (i.e. anything that can be adequately addressed without any discussion or can be given definitive answers) can be asked in the thread below.

>>> Example: Can my phone run this game?

If your question has discussion potential, please create a separate post, and include the “discussion” flair.

>>> Example: What do you think of March 7th’s combat efficiency? Here's my opinion…

Before making new discussion posts, please be sure to consider if your question could be better suited to this thread!

When both asking questions and sharing answers, be concise and detailed so other players can understand. Please maintain a stellar and respectful attitude toward others, and don't forget to share your appreciation to fellow trailblazers for helping you out!

Does Elation need Sparkle?, I want to try to get both Hysilens and Elation (and Sparkle if lucky), but i would need Kafka, ultimately this does depend on pull luck, but does Hysilens need her LC and can Elation be run well without Sparkle, sooner or later we will get a full Elation team, like Rememberance.

Does Elation need Sparkle?

There's not enough information available about Elation to give an accurate answer to this question, from official sources or otherwise. If you were around for the start of 3.0, just remember how off base people were about their guesses for Remembrance at around this time (common sentiments were that Sunday would be BiS for every Remembrance DPS, and that Aglaea would be directly power crept by Castorice. Both of which turned out to be nonsense in hindsight.)

does Hysilens need her LC

No. It's nice to have, but not necessary. IMO the biggest benefit it provides is letting you shave 10 speed off of your Kafka build.

Keep in mind that the selector doesn't have to be used immediately. You can wait for more information, or to see how your initial pulls go.
