✦ Special Adjustments ✦

✦ I Am Elation! Build ✦

Whats going on with her skin colour

✧ Rotation ✧
1 Ego: Weapon Skill ➔ Repeat
2 Egos: Same as above; use Ultimate when AE's support buff runs out

✧ Signets ✧
➤ Ego Signets

Sparkle works really well with one Ego. Eden Signets actually are stronger then the second Ego.
START: Blessing of Radiant Flames
PRIORITY: Blessing of Thousand-Faced
OPTIONAL: Blessing of Opulence

➤ General Signets
How I'll visualise it
In order to make the Signet list more clear, let me show how I'll list the Signets:
Signet of [Signet name] - flamechaser
First priority Signet
Second priority Signet
Third priority Signet
(Fourth priority Signet...)
core (core1/2)
First priority Enhanced
Second priority Enhanced
(Third priority Enhanced...)
(Note:...)
I'll mark Signets that should only be taken if you have no better choices currently with (optional) and add a short explanation behind the Signets in case you don't know the names (like Total DMG, SP, and so on)

High priority Signets

Signet of Gold - Eden
Recitatif of Eden (Total DMG)
Recitatif of Creeks (Elemental DMG)
Recitatif of Fine Jade (Initial/Max SP)
Core 1 - Aria of Gold
Note: When having 2 Egos and Eden Signets, can delay Sparkle's Ultimate towards the end of a wave to keep Eden buffs up.

Signet of Decimation - Kalpas
Blade, Grave, and Scar (Total DMG)
Bone, Blood, and Ribbon (Elemental DMG)
Path, Misfortune, and Written Fate (Max HP)
Core 2 - Soldiers, Scissors, Spoils, and Slaughter
Note: Can take Core 1. In that case, get the HP draining Enhanced and drain some HP in Shop floors with Blood Rose.

Low priority Signets

Signet of Helix - Vill-V
Act II: Pendulum (Total DMG taken)
Act III: Conflict (Total DMG)
Act IV: Spoon (Combo DMG)

Signet of Vicissitude - Fu Hua
Old Dreams Again (Elemental Breach)
Long Trip (Total DMG)
Dark Garb No More (Elemental DMG)
Core 2 - Suffering Mass
Broken Dreams (max stacks) (optional)
Note: Ideal way to get Hua Signets is getting 1/2 in Shop when you can finish the core next floor to avoid stand alone Signets. Hua NEEDS her core. Can level Elemental Breach to +2 when you get Broken Dreams.

Signet of Reverie - Pardofelis
Neighborhoot Chatters (max HP/SP)
Motto of Meow (Total DMG)
Back-Curled Tail (Elemental DMG)
Core 1 - Empty Dreams, Self, Set, and Joy

✦ Build Comparison ✦
Overall, both builds are at about the same level.
The [I Am Elation!] build shines in non-boss floors.
Especially without her signature weapon, I recommend this build.
The Resonance build can clear boss stages faster, but is more dependent on good RNG.
It benefits more from Ego Signets and also wants good RNG with other Signets.
As always, it's best to choose the build you have more fun with~
