Gacha community might be the only community who cannot accept facts and have to cope with certain characters being better than their favs by saying shit like “oh but she’s not useless” “it’s only a small difference” or straight up attacking my account, if you don’t believe me look at isummons recent video or literally any showcases on yt of robin vs sparkle on those teams be it current or future moc. The point of this video is that sparkles pull value has plummeted and robin is due for a rerun soon, if you have the money and like the character go ahead and pull sparkle I won’t stop you but just know the “wait till hypercarry becomes meta again” argument is useless considering when it does become meta we will be getting new hypercarry supports better then her anyway (which by the way she already is being beaten even in hypercarry by robin)
Preach brother. Sparkle is the new Jingyuan mid. They cannot differentiate between facts and feelscrafting. Always saying hypercarry will be comeback lol.
I mean, you made a clickbait title saying a fan favorite character is useless, even thought she is not, she is one of the best harmony units in the game. Going for statements like that and then getting mad because of the hate it's a bit hypocritical. Fr there are not bad harmony units, specially 5 stars, all of them are good in meta, just pull the one you like. DPS is a bit more controversial, since there are some DPS units that are not doing a good job anymore, making it so you have to try multiple times an MOC to beat it with those characters.
Something I noticed for gacha creators, particularly for big games like HSR is you don't really talk about the mechanics of the game. It's a lot of "best-in-slot" and "more damage" when comparing units. I rarely ever hear content creators talk about the tactics and mechanics each character uses and what tactics they work for. Sometimes content creators make it sound like HSR units are specifically paired, like some support units are made for specific attackers, which makes the game sound worse than it is.
I mean to be honest it is this way, robin and ruan Mei are the 2 most general harmony supports since they work on nearly every team with robin only not working on break ones hence why ruan Mei is considered the goat support. The issue with sparkle is that she’s practically completely outclassed in nearly every team comp possible even in the ones she specializes in making her worth plummet tremendously. Not to mention robin gives team wide buffs with whole team action advance while sparkle can only boost one person on the team her kit in general is just inferior especially with how many sp positive chars were getting these days
They are made to be specifically paired, but it's not mandatory. They do it to buff older stereotypes, or future ones for more sales, but you can still pair them with other characters and it will perform as long as it makes "sense", that's the beauty of team building. There are also some content creators making tier lists over how good are the upcoming units when paired with every single current character, so there is that.
I think that is because HSR team building is pretty restricted by itself, and the game mechanic is very simple. The difference between a BIS and non-BIS is great, unless you farm relics for 1 year and get paid lcs and eidolons. But what can you expect when the game itself only have 2 skills, so sometimes getting a BIS character is necessary, especially when they keep buffing enemies hp. Even if they buff older characters, they get outclassed immediately, look at Jingyuan, mono quantum, even DHIL.
She ended up being way better then expected for pretty much every new and old character, I even forgot to mention she’s better in a jingyuan team then sparkle now as well
everyone kept telling to skip robin for ruan mei - no one bat an eye people start to realise robin is actually really good harmony - it is considered glazing now
Just so funny hes making these idiotic statements, when his sparkle is on 136spd lmao (sparkles highest priority is to be a hyperspeed booster). Bro is just trying to be another gacha drama farmers but unlike those big ccs he literally has no personality and quality contents at all.
The whole video was Ass. His argument was E2 DH and E2 Acheron when E0 DH needs sparkle for skill points and E0 Acheron needs two nihility players. Oh and then again he built is sparkle like crap which means he has no idea how to build characters and completely forget to mention the area robin is competing in is held by the best harmony character in the game ruan mei. She is not getting picked over ruan mei. It's irritating for me because I know these characters kits. Robin, sparkle, bronya, ruan mei I have them all built so ik their kit and where they are useful and I know robin can be the only support on the field because she will speed up another characters buff to expire because of the team wide boost. She is great for my ipc team. And I only use her there
Same, initially pulled her because I have old chars like DHIL and Jing Yuan. But even after getting her she with my old dps got outclassed immediately after. Talk about bad balancing.
She'll get better trust. I've gotten her too and I unironically have not used her to clear any endgame content. Got her fully built wit 160 speed and she's just sitting in my roster rn. Only thing I user her for is to use her technique to stop the trotters from running in that one adventure mode.
The Sparkle slander is getting out of hand 💀 She hasnt been replaced, go look at prydwen MOC clears youll see a bunch of sparkles Robins and Ruan meis. Theyre all good, this just seems like biased hate at this point
Word of advice, don’t use Prdywen when trying to make a point about HSR at the top level. Prdwyen sources thousands of results and filters them, and gives out the raw numbers in terms of clears. If you went purely on their data, you’d think nobody would be able to even 3 star MoC because even top of the line units like Acheron have 6+ cycle averages when the reality is 1-2. A low clear cycle on Prdwyen isn’t indicative of the character being good, it’s indicative of the character being easy to get results with. Prdwyen will look at a character in a vacuum, assess them, place them in a team, collect results, and call it a day. They don’t consider stuff like QPQ Gallagher for a Robin team, or S5 DDD Tingyun. They’re a good source for casual data collection, and community sentiments, but they won’t give you the actual info about every single advantage/disadvantage that characters have in comparison to each other.
Of course she is bad. You have 136 spd Sparkle. That is yikes. She will be trash with that spd even with hypercarry. 160+ spd on wind set and Sparkle is insane on every hypercarry. Robin is only a better choice for FU teams. On hypercarry teams she is ass because advance forward Tingyun, Huahua, Lulcha or Fu does nothing. And she can advance forward only once per ult when Sparkle does that for your DPS unit multiple times on that time. For FU teams Sparkle is ass because you want the whole team to go. Everyone doing the dmg in those teams. We can argue about if Sparkle > Robin or not on E2S0 Acheron because advance forward whole team may give you more stacks. But if you have S1 then Sprarkle will give you the same if not more stacks. Oh and Sparkle can actually use DDD LC. On current Acheron and Firefly meta both Sparkle and Robin are trash. Because they just have no place on those teams. E0 Acheron needs two nihility units + sustain. Firefly has IMC + RM + Galla/Lingsha.
I'm sorry to hear that Sparkle's pull value went down. I can't say much because I don't pursie meta. I pulled sparkle and she is very fun to use and allows me to forget about my skill point economy. I understand that the math favors robin now and I think that is fine. But maybe you are a bit negative about this? Do you absolutely need BiS supports to enjoy the game? Maybe its not that serious. You will eventually get those jades back!
Exactly!! i don't understand meta players seriously e2 acheron robin 0 cycle. with sparkle apparantly it was 1 cycle. like seriously? 1 cycle is still rlly good considering that there are people still struggling to even beat endgame content this video straight up calls sparkle "useless" which is not true at all 😭 (pulling for sparkle this patch hope i get her🙏)
It's always been Robin lol, we were all stupid for sleeping on her. Teamwide extra turn = more stacks from Acheron teammates too. That being said I run sustainless E2 Acheron so I just use both Robin and Sparkle lol
Not me tho because initial I believe having all limited harmony is good. But after seeing how bad sparkle has become I will ditched that mindset and careful with my choice. Even support can be powercreept lol. Sparkle is not good anymore.
@@syidibuzzbuzz962 Sparkle is absolutely good, just not for the top performing teams right now. When hypercarry meta rolls around again she'll be a top performer once more. Yunli and DHIL can still use her extremely well; there's no one saying you can't run both her and Robin on the same team. And, well, that's where her SP positivity comes in: to support stronger, more SP hungry supports like Robin and even Bronya. Sure, Sparkle is worse than Robin and Ruan Mei but as far as supports go Ruan Mei = Robin > Sparkle = Bronya >> everyone else, barring niche units like Topaz/Kafka.
@@jacoblee4709 I cannot see that hypercarry meta will comeback. If anything hoyo will introduce new mechanics to sell new harmony and DPS because people already experienced hypercarry meta and they will find it repetitive and boring.
@@syidibuzzbuzz962 Well if those Harmony and DPS units are SP hungry then Sparkle just so happens to be the perfect support for them. Also, Sparkle has a 15% ATK and 48% DMG teamwide buff- she's not exactly unplayable in dual DPS setups right now either. Also hypercarry meta has been evolving a lot, although this is actually a point in Robin's favor. In a hypercarry setup with Robin, Bronya/Tingyun can spend their first Skill/Ult to allow Robin to immediately Ult, which has been a crucial tech for several hypercarry 0 cycles. Heck, I even used the Tingyun + Robin setup with Sparkle to allow my Seele (on 4 pc Eagle + ER Penacony rope LOL) to easily 40k this Pure Fiction. Harmonies supporting other Harmonies has gone from meme to legit strategy now, and it's my favorite way that hypercarry has evolved even just recently.
it's kind of funny how I was regretting like "I shouldn't have skipped Sparkle for Aventurine dang it." but since I got Robin right after Aven and then months later saw this video, I think i'm quite happy, despite not even having Dhil or Acheron, more or less her eidolons too, that also allows me to not have to pull her (I know she's an upgrade though from Bronya but she does have her lightcone and e1) and as much as I would like to give my Argenti an increase in dmg I don't think a huge change will come if I pull her, so I shall get Huo Huo with all I can
Well in HSR you need two teams. Even more if your teams aren't flexible for the other endgame modes. Sparkle is a very flexible teammember(just put her in a team and she'll increase damage by a large margin) so having her for your account is always good and she will only get better later. According to usage statistics she's still very popular. The slander mainly comes from people 0 cycling or using highly invested units.
Do you really need to pull a 5 min video, talking extremely slowly(I had to use x2 speed) only to tell me "Uhmm Sparkle bad", and you had no script and even no good background video. There are plenty topics and ways to do a good hsr content, make at least minimal effort man
a big reason why robin is being played in many teams comfortably is due to qpq gallagher. This makes robin way easier to use on non ipc teams as you will actually have ur ult up over and over and even works with e0s0 robin easily.
This is the exact reason why you go for the characters you like aesthetically, not how strong they are. Appearance won’t change but their kit can be targeted and made useless at any time.
She'll likely find her role in the future, harmony units so far have a very unique space in different teams still imo. And hoyo still has a lot of potential in a lot of existing mechanics that they never fully expanded on. So we'll see how it goes, I'd say that getting all the harmony is a pretty good investment either way with how the game is going
ridiculous powercreep of an harmony unit with another harmony unit just 2 banners after her first appearance wow congratulations mihoyo, well since i hate the feeling of characters getting worse i feel like have to get sparkles light cone cuz i didn't get my hands on that thing back then, Ruan Mei is still better without her LC but i got her LC on the second rerun so i feel like i need to
slight correction there Acheron best team is not her, Robin Jq and Aventurine.. it's her, Robin, JQ and Gallagher (specifically with Quid Pro Quo) this is because Robin's energy regen in this team is REALLY bad so you need to use QPQ on Gallagher to compensate but apparently QPQ is so good that just by switching Galla's LC it fixes Robin's energy issue it's fking ridiculous really... if it wasn't for this 1 single LC Robin would be completely unusable for an Acheron team also don't get it twisted... Sparkle will STILL make Acheron do more dmg while Robin allows her to finish clearing faster... honestly the verdict is if you already have a well invested Sparkle and have no trouble clearing MoC at 3 stars, there's no point in building another unit just to clear 1 cycle faster but if you have neither Sparkle nor Robin then Robin is DEFNITELY the better choice ESPECIALLY if you have Galla and are pulling for JQ.. just make sure you have QPQ LC
@@paulmoore2873not disrespect but the actual facts that sparkle is not good. I know you disappointed right. Sparkle could never hahaha. Considered your account bricked for having sparkle and not having robin. Take the big L sparkle havers who skipped Robin
Sometimes I think people put too much into what character is better than what character, long as the person can get the rewards it's all good, I guess it's all down to what someone wants from their account and what makes them happy, newer characters generally perform better and that's gacha, everyone knows going in nobody is safe from the grim creeper.
No. I got her thinking that she was going to be useful but she's not good with Seele like Robin, she is not good with Ratio like Robin, she's not good with Kafka like Robin, she's only good with Dhill because of the SP but Robin is better in increasing damage, she's not good with Boothill to 0 cycle like Robin, She's not good in PF and AS like Robin and Ruan Mei, she's not more meta than Tingyun and Bronya... she's stole my garanted Robin.
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 as somebody who uses Boothill, i'm genuinely surprised you guys use Robin and Sparkle with him- (I'm sure that Bronya was supposed to played with him instead last time I heard also Sparkle only has 50% advance so I don't think it would work anyways, and idk about Robin since I see nobody use her with him considering that she could be put in way better teams)
sparkle is still a solid pull not even close to useless. don't get me wrong, i think robin is probably the best support in the game but usually in hyper carry teams most of the time you'd run both sparkle and robin. unless bronya is e1s1 you're gonna run into SP issues because robin doesn't generate skill points. and there's only 1 robin which almost every team could use so imo the more harmony characters in your account the better because the role is beyond busted. and i thought we all knew sparkle was the 3rd best harmony?
Lol needing signature LC to be op. There's a lot of 4star harmony Lc is good like DDD. But sparkle is still not good. Keep coping saying sparkle OP lmao.
I think even with Hypercarry dps coming back, Sparkle still has glaring issues. While she offers sp comfortability, a lot of times you don't need them. Especially with more very sp positive units like Gallagher, Aventurine... It doesn't help that recent teams and units prefers other harmony units. Even Bronya because her 100% av offers more turns and higher ceiling. Most crit dps prefers Robin for lower cycle clears.
lmao yea true robin basically replaced sparkle almost everywhere, everyone hyped up bronya being the best support for 100% action advance, but then completely ignored robins 100% action advance and called her only a fua support. its like calling ruan mei only a super break support. look how the tables have turned. atleast mono-gremlin is still there.
Im not really worried cause I have both and sparkle is e2 s1 but what your saying is she only works really well with mono quantum and yeah unfortunately its true either they make more characters that can benefit with her abilities or it'll just become another character left in the dust like Yukong which will be inevitable as time passes
I got a fully geared and build Robin and I wanted Sparkle too because of me failling to get her and getting E1 Bailu. Everyone lauged at me so I was gonna get sparkle on her rerun to finally show my online buddies that this time around I wasn't washing my garanthee on characters like DHIL. But then I got Robin and I decided to fully build her because my Clara was in desperate need for a good harmony support and I did not had sparkle now it seems, that Robin helps my Clara way more than Sparkle would had 😅
Why are people in the comments so combative towards each other as if Star Rail is a PvP game? Chill with the senseless vitriol towards each other, man.
@@Joe_Musashi it’s only in these types of games that it’s an issue, people grow a real attachment to these characters and die on hills for them so you get extremists on both sides. Anytime in my life I’ve talked about something power creeping the previous best whatever in other competitive games I’ve never had to deal with this as people could already understand my intentions and think for themselves, and for some reason elitists truly believe this game has some crazy skill gap only they can overcome (reality is most people just don’t have the same investment to clear like them to begin with) leading to delusion on both the casual side and hardcore side.
@@_Gabimaru if you think this game doesn't have a crazy skill gap then why bother making a video about how useless a character is if apparantly it doesn't matter?
@@BladeDevil saying there’s barely a skill gap in the game ≠ lying about how good a character is, sparkle is due for a rerun in like 2 weeks I’m gonna make a video telling people she’s not bis for any current or future dps were aware of other then mono quantum. Getting a unit that’s way more universal like robin on her rerun and overall better can help people clear easier and faster while also being more futureproof while sparkle isn’t and is already fading into obscurity
@@_Gabimaru you just said she has value in mono quantum. which in itself is a pretty commonly used team. she's also amazing in DHIL's team. At the end of the day meta slaves are trash and nothing in this game requires you to run the best of anything.
@@BladeDevil mono quantum isn’t anywhere near a common team and even e0 Acheron and firefly are taking 2-3 cycles in the 2.5 moc, anyone with a brain wouldn’t invest in a support that doesn’t work for any of the new dps’s and go for an even WORSE team that clears SLOWER with the already limited pulls they have unless their a money spender. Her pull value is garbage however if you already have her on your account she’s semi useable
did you know you have to use multiple teams in this game in content such as memory of chaos? It legit doesn't matter how good robin is, she'll end up being crept as well and we'll have another video calling her "useless" again. Is sparkle weaker? no, she's used in certain teams and situations, much like EVERY UNIT IN THE GAME. SParkle is goated with DHIL and other sp hungry units, and I do not regret it at all.
At the end of the day dps characters will be powercrept faster because you can still have 4 to 6 harmony slots you can use. Sparke is still an upgrade over pretty much any other harmony 4 star.
I knew sparkle was overrated which is why i never even gave her a glance when i saw her reruning And i dont think we entering a meta for sparkle anytime soon because the leak new relics for summoning characters
I still love sparkle and can use with bronya for extra dps turns. Robin and ruan mei are the meta. I wonder where lingsha will be placed once she’s out.
So there's no point in getting a sparkle unless you have the certain DPS for her I'll just pull on adventuring then if he's get to rerun in the next patch I need him cuz I already have the full follow up comp I just need him in my follow-up team is complete the next character I'm going to need is Black Swan I hope I get lucky on both of their banners wish me luck😢
Of course your sparkle is bad she is at 136 speed and only 194 crit dmg. I think this is just you not understanding how to build sparkle and there is nothing wrong with that
Because I only started playing this game consistently recently and started right before penacony, every statistic I got was from people testing optimal teams in both future and current moc with perfectly built characters showcasing sparkle vs robin and even I summon made a video recently going over showing robin doing better then sparkle in the Acheron team. If you want to be blind and biased by attacking my account just say that
@@_Gabimaru 1. U made ur first sparkle is bad vid before u found these calcs u mentioned. so u already called her bad when u thought she was bis in a number of teams. 2. Robin does not outperform sparkle in teams where sparkle works to a degree that makes her completely outmatched. How much more dpr do robin teams do compared to sparkle according to ur sources? 10% or more? Thats is that much of an issue for u that u regret pulling her? Maybe playing gachas with power creep isnt for u. 3. You completely fail to see that there is numbers on sheets and theres playstyle and with robin aint no casual player maximising their dpr not knowing what their doing and optimising their play on manual. with sparkle u slap 161 spd on her and ure ballin even on auto play. I highly doubt any casual player will have a better performance with robin over sparkle in a dhil or e2 acheron or jing yuan team.
@@s-zs7nn 1. my first video calling her “bad” has to do with her pull value, I even mentioned in that video she’s still bis for old dps’s and that I just regret pulling for her cause she doesn’t fit into any of these new dps’s teams 2. I literally state in the video the difference is minimal however her pull value still plummets as robin now works better in every team in the game over her other then mono quantum and for the teams sparkle doesn’t specialize in it’s a bloodbath 3. There’s multiple leakers on yt, most of them barely even know how to play optimally and admit to not doing so yet still clear better or on par which is all that matters. You can make this argument for optimal sparkle runs as well. Not to mention 2.4 MOC the leakers haven’t been able to 0 cycle with sparkle but we’re with robin
@@_Gabimaru 1. I guess thats up to interpretation since its pull value. If thats how u see it i wont argue with it. 2. I disagree about her value plummeting. If the difference in performance is minimal her value isnt vastly inferior unless u play follow up teams and have aventurine. In which case why pull for sparkle over robin? U pull sparkle for hypercarries. 3. The reason robin performs much better in 0 cycles than any other harmony is because of her ult. If u dont 0 cycle she will barely be of any value until maybe the 4th cycle. Shes the easiest harmony to 0 cycle with but if you just want to clear well enough u dont need her. Her having the easiest speedrun clears even for casual players doesnt mean her dpr is going to be better for casuals in extended battles.
How is Robin a better support for Acheron? Especially E2 Acheron? I mean, sure, she may deal more damage with robin, but she’s gonna get less turns and also less skill points with robin. DHIL as well, the main reason we use sparkle on DHIL is mainly only for skill points, which Robin can’t provide. I just can’t seem to get around how robin is better than sparkle in E2 Acheron teams and in DHIL teams. I mean, sure, she buffs the shit out of all your characters, but in situations where turns and skill points are more valued, how is Robin better than sparkle?
Team wide buff and action advance, not to mention robin is in her ult for 2-3 turns and you only skill once with her to get ult to begin with. Most of the tests being done are with gallagher however aventurine works as well since he’s sp positive. Sparkle is only sp positive by 1 skill point it’s really not that big of a difference since your always using skill on her, however robins better buffs and the fact it applies team wide with an action advance for everyone makes her better (same applies to dhil team)
Since Robin gives a lot of atk, you don't need atk boots and can run spd boots. Sparkle at 160 spd is going to give 2 turns to a base spd DPS for the first cycle. Robin with Concerto can give the whole team 3 turns if they're all at 134+ spd. And if you use Gallagher with QPQ, you can funnel enough energy into Robin to get her ult back immediately after Concerto ends, giving two ults per cycle potentially. If you also use Tingyun to battery Robin, it can be up to 3 ults in the first cycle if you count both waves. So you're solving the SP issues with Gallagher, who is very SP positive, and you're getting 2-3 Robin ults in the first cycle across both waves, which means a total of 6-7 DPS turns as opposed to Sparkle's 4, plus having the whole team take more actions as well, plus every member of the team doing more damage thanks to Robin's additional damage procs, plus Robin's buffs overall being very good and covering dmg%, atk and CD. She's harder to play, but she has a higher ceiling if you play her right.
No it's not. Sparkle is not good even for hypercarry teams. Keep coping man while Ruan Mei and Robin teams will be meta while sparkle team which only consist of dhil and QQ when both of them not meta like Acheron and Firefly.

I run DHIL and a FUA team on different sides, would it still be worth picking sparkle for the DHIL team with huo huo and tingyun and keep robin on the FUA team or do I save for Feixiao cause ngl feixiao is so clean thats a reason alone to pull for her
@@DrunkenStinkin optimally yea you’d want one or the other to run on your dhil team, running 2 fua teams is a bit crazy but I guess I could recommend (if you have bronya) to do a hypercarry feixiao team, I’ve seen them perform very well sometimes even better then the fua team at e0s1 with the right investment. If you go for feixiao the team would be feixiao bronya robin and gallagher (or aventurine or lingsha useable too) and if you don’t have bronya i think sparkle is worse but still a good replacement, another option would be to replace either of them with March as she provides some decent buffs while also helping stacks a bit more.

well after watch watching out your video and having both sparkle and robin fully build up and i have e2 acheron and i have trayed them both with my acheron and from i can see they both have similar clear with both getting a 3 clear in this moc but I much rather sparkle cause i don't have aventurine and my gallather is just build for healing, ER and broken keel and last team mate is Silver Wolf with full ER so sparkle is just better for me but I can see what you mean when the fox guy comes out later it'll be really nice fr . Also i want to ask were did you heard that from i want know cause it's hard for me to believed that robin is better than sparkle with DHIL I would love to know and see for myself cause doesn't sparkle fix DHIL problems with all the skill points she give? Also you only talk about her buffing but you never talk about her good qualities and utility she gives with all her skill points and increasing the skill point cap from 5 to 7 and with 160 speed you always can go attack boots cause of how often she can advance you forward compare to robin. Like there're not to far off from each other with acheron I plan on making a video tomorrow comparing sparkle and robin with my acheron to see who's is actually better cause of this video you really got me wondering and got me thinking a lot about this and I enjoy your video a lot
i like sparkle a lot... but only her personality. her playstyle is wgy i never pulled her. i won't pull robin either, but because, on the contrary, i find her personality boring. i liked both firefly's personality and playstyle and same for acheron. thus, i pulled both and regretted none. i'm f2p and quite picky on who i pull. if only sparkle was good in fights... ua-cam.com/video/-q80QowuJSk/v-deo.html
Sparkle only works for hypercarries (buffs only one character), whereas Robin buffs everyone, my Pela and Aventurine become DPSs because of her. And the action advance forwards of all teammates is more broken than action advance of only one teammate, also since more stacks are generated for Acheron this way.
I think sparkle is better here. If you build sparkle correctly then you can make Acheron go 2 to 3 times per turn which is 1 time more than robin so I that sense sparkle is better plus the ridiculous crit dmg boost sparkle will give to Acheron.
its ok if you pull for Sparkle the 1st time, because people dont know what will the meta gonna be, people cant predict it. but doing another video make you look like a hater
okay that's just blatantly wrong, they both server entire different purposes, put a Robin in a Firefly or Boothil team instead of Ruan Mei and we will see how much better Robin is in buffing break effect & break efficiency
@@bamboozled_again there are much more fua chars than break chars robin has lower average clear cycle skill ceiling is crazy right now ruan mei has more stronger dps characters to serve, but robin's fua teams have immense potential, with her 15k~ with every hit, you can do unbelievable things

They are made to be specifically paired, but it's not mandatory. They do it to buff older stereotypes, or future ones for more sales, but you can still pair them with other characters and it will perform as long as it makes "sense", that's the beauty of team building.
There are also some content creators making tier lists over how good are the upcoming units when paired with every single current character, so there is that.
I think that is because HSR team building is pretty restricted by itself, and the game mechanic is very simple. The difference between a BIS and non-BIS is great, unless you farm relics for 1 year and get paid lcs and eidolons. But what can you expect when the game itself only have 2 skills, so sometimes getting a BIS character is necessary, especially when they keep buffing enemies hp.
Even if they buff older characters, they get outclassed immediately, look at Jingyuan, mono quantum, even DHIL.
@@ZionOverHeaven true the only extreme skill point negative dps's we have are quinque and DH
Ngl the robin glaze in the hsr community over the past week has been so crazy I can’t find a video not talking about robin lmao
She ended up being way better then expected for pretty much every new and old character, I even forgot to mention she’s better in a jingyuan team then sparkle now as well
Because of feixiao
Because she IS better. And this is coming from someone who has E0S1 Sparkle 😂
@@_Gabimaruwhat’s funny jy with robin is a 20% dps increase for him it’s insane
everyone kept telling to skip robin for ruan mei - no one bat an eye
people start to realise robin is actually really good harmony - it is considered glazing now
Just so funny hes making these idiotic statements, when his sparkle is on 136spd lmao (sparkles highest priority is to be a hyperspeed booster).
Bro is just trying to be another gacha drama farmers but unlike those big ccs he literally has no personality and quality contents at all.
The whole video was Ass. His argument was E2 DH and E2 Acheron when E0 DH needs sparkle for skill points and E0 Acheron needs two nihility players. Oh and then again he built is sparkle like crap which means he has no idea how to build characters and completely forget to mention the area robin is competing in is held by the best harmony character in the game ruan mei. She is not getting picked over ruan mei. It's irritating for me because I know these characters kits. Robin, sparkle, bronya, ruan mei I have them all built so ik their kit and where they are useful and I know robin can be the only support on the field because she will speed up another characters buff to expire because of the team wide boost. She is great for my ipc team. And I only use her there
sparkle minding her own business only to get "RIIIIISE UP INTO MY-" blasted in her ear
Fr bro even i regret pulling sparkle now lmao could've just pulled robin
Same, initially pulled her because I have old chars like DHIL and Jing Yuan. But even after getting her she with my old dps got outclassed immediately after. Talk about bad balancing.
sparkle’s just living in robin’s world 😊
She'll get better trust.
I've gotten her too and I unironically have not used her to clear any endgame content. Got her fully built wit 160 speed and she's just sitting in my roster rn. Only thing I user her for is to use her technique to stop the trotters from running in that one adventure mode.
The Sparkle slander is getting out of hand 💀
She hasnt been replaced, go look at prydwen MOC clears youll see a bunch of sparkles Robins and Ruan meis. Theyre all good, this just seems like biased hate at this point
Word of advice, don’t use Prdywen when trying to make a point about HSR at the top level.
Prdwyen sources thousands of results and filters them, and gives out the raw numbers in terms of clears. If you went purely on their data, you’d think nobody would be able to even 3 star MoC because even top of the line units like Acheron have 6+ cycle averages when the reality is 1-2.
A low clear cycle on Prdwyen isn’t indicative of the character being good, it’s indicative of the character being easy to get results with.
Prdwyen will look at a character in a vacuum, assess them, place them in a team, collect results, and call it a day. They don’t consider stuff like QPQ Gallagher for a Robin team, or S5 DDD Tingyun.
They’re a good source for casual data collection, and community sentiments, but they won’t give you the actual info about every single advantage/disadvantage that characters have in comparison to each other.
Of course she is bad. You have 136 spd Sparkle. That is yikes. She will be trash with that spd even with hypercarry. 160+ spd on wind set and Sparkle is insane on every hypercarry.
Robin is only a better choice for FU teams. On hypercarry teams she is ass because advance forward Tingyun, Huahua, Lulcha or Fu does nothing. And she can advance forward only once per ult when Sparkle does that for your DPS unit multiple times on that time.
For FU teams Sparkle is ass because you want the whole team to go. Everyone doing the dmg in those teams.
We can argue about if Sparkle > Robin or not on E2S0 Acheron because advance forward whole team may give you more stacks. But if you have S1 then Sprarkle will give you the same if not more stacks. Oh and Sparkle can actually use DDD LC.
On current Acheron and Firefly meta both Sparkle and Robin are trash. Because they just have no place on those teams. E0 Acheron needs two nihility units + sustain. Firefly has IMC + RM + Galla/Lingsha.
I'm sorry to hear that Sparkle's pull value went down. I can't say much because I don't pursie meta. I pulled sparkle and she is very fun to use and allows me to forget about my skill point economy. I understand that the math favors robin now and I think that is fine. But maybe you are a bit negative about this? Do you absolutely need BiS supports to enjoy the game? Maybe its not that serious. You will eventually get those jades back!
Exactly!! i don't understand meta players seriously
e2 acheron robin 0 cycle.
with sparkle apparantly it was 1 cycle.
like seriously? 1 cycle is still rlly good considering that there are people still struggling to even beat endgame content this video straight up calls sparkle "useless" which is not true at all 😭
(pulling for sparkle this patch hope i get her🙏)
It's always been Robin lol, we were all stupid for sleeping on her. Teamwide extra turn = more stacks from Acheron teammates too.
That being said I run sustainless E2 Acheron so I just use both Robin and Sparkle lol
Not me tho because initial I believe having all limited harmony is good. But after seeing how bad sparkle has become I will ditched that mindset and careful with my choice. Even support can be powercreept lol. Sparkle is not good anymore.
@@syidibuzzbuzz962 Sparkle is absolutely good, just not for the top performing teams right now. When hypercarry meta rolls around again she'll be a top performer once more. Yunli and DHIL can still use her extremely well; there's no one saying you can't run both her and Robin on the same team. And, well, that's where her SP positivity comes in: to support stronger, more SP hungry supports like Robin and even Bronya. Sure, Sparkle is worse than Robin and Ruan Mei but as far as supports go Ruan Mei = Robin > Sparkle = Bronya >> everyone else, barring niche units like Topaz/Kafka.
@@jacoblee4709 I cannot see that hypercarry meta will comeback. If anything hoyo will introduce new mechanics to sell new harmony and DPS because people already experienced hypercarry meta and they will find it repetitive and boring.
@@syidibuzzbuzz962 Well if those Harmony and DPS units are SP hungry then Sparkle just so happens to be the perfect support for them. Also, Sparkle has a 15% ATK and 48% DMG teamwide buff- she's not exactly unplayable in dual DPS setups right now either.
Also hypercarry meta has been evolving a lot, although this is actually a point in Robin's favor. In a hypercarry setup with Robin, Bronya/Tingyun can spend their first Skill/Ult to allow Robin to immediately Ult, which has been a crucial tech for several hypercarry 0 cycles. Heck, I even used the Tingyun + Robin setup with Sparkle to allow my Seele (on 4 pc Eagle + ER Penacony rope LOL) to easily 40k this Pure Fiction. Harmonies supporting other Harmonies has gone from meme to legit strategy now, and it's my favorite way that hypercarry has evolved even just recently.
it's kind of funny how I was regretting like "I shouldn't have skipped Sparkle for Aventurine dang it." but since I got Robin right after Aven and then months later saw this video, I think i'm quite happy, despite not even having Dhil or Acheron, more or less her eidolons too, that also allows me to not have to pull her (I know she's an upgrade though from Bronya but she does have her lightcone and e1) and as much as I would like to give my Argenti an increase in dmg I don't think a huge change will come if I pull her, so I shall get Huo Huo with all I can
Key word e2 DHil, I enjoy the sp comfort with my e0 DHil, but then again I have robin too and I use her more often.
This video was just so F unrelatable E0 Acheron can't use her either.
me who pull every Harmony at the cost of not having DPS unit : "hmmm yes, this is fine"
Well in HSR you need two teams. Even more if your teams aren't flexible for the other endgame modes. Sparkle is a very flexible teammember(just put her in a team and she'll increase damage by a large margin) so having her for your account is always good and she will only get better later. According to usage statistics she's still very popular. The slander mainly comes from people 0 cycling or using highly invested units.
Get out of the kitchen mate, the food is already burnt.
If you think Sparkle is useless you literally have no clue about this game 😂.
Sparkle is still absolutely DHIL’s best support
Do you really need to pull a 5 min video, talking extremely slowly(I had to use x2 speed) only to tell me "Uhmm Sparkle bad", and you had no script and even no good background video. There are plenty topics and ways to do a good hsr content, make at least minimal effort man
Just shitty small cc trying to farm gacha dramas
single target 1 turn buffing characters will always be bad
I still enjoy the racist gremlin
so true
That’s why I pulled her even tho I don’t need her
a big reason why robin is being played in many teams comfortably is due to qpq gallagher. This makes robin way easier to use on non ipc teams as you will actually have ur ult up over and over and even works with e0s0 robin easily.
This is the exact reason why you go for the characters you like aesthetically, not how strong they are. Appearance won’t change but their kit can be targeted and made useless at any time.
She'll likely find her role in the future, harmony units so far have a very unique space in different teams still imo. And hoyo still has a lot of potential in a lot of existing mechanics that they never fully expanded on. So we'll see how it goes, I'd say that getting all the harmony is a pretty good investment either way with how the game is going
ridiculous powercreep of an harmony unit with another harmony unit just 2 banners after her first appearance wow congratulations mihoyo, well since i hate the feeling of characters getting worse i feel like have to get sparkles light cone cuz i didn't get my hands on that thing back then, Ruan Mei is still better without her LC but i got her LC on the second rerun so i feel like i need to
I’m glad I pulled her tbh, like the character, and makes mono quantum really good.
slight correction there
Acheron best team is not her, Robin Jq and Aventurine.. it's her, Robin, JQ and Gallagher (specifically with Quid Pro Quo)
this is because Robin's energy regen in this team is REALLY bad so you need to use QPQ on Gallagher to compensate but apparently QPQ is so good that just by switching Galla's LC it fixes Robin's energy issue
it's fking ridiculous really... if it wasn't for this 1 single LC Robin would be completely unusable for an Acheron team
also don't get it twisted... Sparkle will STILL make Acheron do more dmg while Robin allows her to finish clearing faster...
honestly the verdict is if you already have a well invested Sparkle and have no trouble clearing MoC at 3 stars, there's no point in building another unit just to clear 1 cycle faster but if you have neither Sparkle nor Robin then Robin is DEFNITELY the better choice ESPECIALLY if you have Galla and are pulling for JQ.. just make sure you have QPQ LC
My team is Ruan Mei,Jingyuan,sparkle,and aventurine and im still cooking 😭

At first i don't wanna pull her but my friend said it will be good for my account, until now i still regret listening to what my friends recommend
She will become good eventually
Change of plans then skipping her i was gonna get her just for my acheron
Sometimes I think people put too much into what character is better than what character, long as the person can get the rewards it's all good, I guess it's all down to what someone wants from their account and what makes them happy, newer characters generally perform better and that's gacha, everyone knows going in nobody is safe from the grim creeper.
No. I got her thinking that she was going to be useful but she's not good with Seele like Robin, she is not good with Ratio like Robin, she's not good with Kafka like Robin, she's only good with Dhill because of the SP but Robin is better in increasing damage, she's not good with Boothill to 0 cycle like Robin, She's not good in PF and AS like Robin and Ruan Mei, she's not more meta than Tingyun and Bronya... she's stole my garanted Robin.
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 thats because seele is too SP hungry, even with the extra SP, if her 2nd turn was SP free she would be far better
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 Sparkle is absolutely great for 0 cycling with Seele and Ratio. Although Seele definitely likes Robin as well
@@mauriciorosademoraes9209 as somebody who uses Boothill, i'm genuinely surprised you guys use Robin and Sparkle with him- (I'm sure that Bronya was supposed to played with him instead last time I heard also Sparkle only has 50% advance so I don't think it would work anyways, and idk about Robin since I see nobody use her with him considering that she could be put in way better teams)
@mauriciorosademoraes9209 cool story bro, does it get you more rewards when you clear ? Womp womp.
sparkle is still a solid pull not even close to useless. don't get me wrong, i think robin is probably the best support in the game but usually in hyper carry teams most of the time you'd run both sparkle and robin. unless bronya is e1s1 you're gonna run into SP issues because robin doesn't generate skill points. and there's only 1 robin which almost every team could use so imo the more harmony characters in your account the better because the role is beyond busted. and i thought we all knew sparkle was the 3rd best harmony?
Sparkle with 167.3 speed wind set s5 DDD is competitive with robin she just needs way higher investment to work
Lol
and that's exactly why Robin is better
I remember skipping sparkle and getting robin with her LC. Shes been incredibly useful for me, so much mileage
Sparkle is OP together with her LC. She plays well with Yunli and hypercarry teams. And if you pair her with Robin its 10x
Lol needing signature LC to be op. There's a lot of 4star harmony Lc is good like DDD. But sparkle is still not good. Keep coping saying sparkle OP lmao.
@@syidibuzzbuzz962 LOL its a single player game. Chill out.
She does not need her LC but her LC has 48CV which is a lot@@syidibuzzbuzz962
I think even with Hypercarry dps coming back, Sparkle still has glaring issues. While she offers sp comfortability, a lot of times you don't need them. Especially with more very sp positive units like Gallagher, Aventurine...
It doesn't help that recent teams and units prefers other harmony units. Even Bronya because her 100% av offers more turns and higher ceiling. Most crit dps prefers Robin for lower cycle clears.
lmao yea true robin basically replaced sparkle almost everywhere, everyone hyped up bronya being the best support for 100% action advance, but then completely ignored robins 100% action advance and called her only a fua support. its like calling ruan mei only a super break support. look how the tables have turned. atleast mono-gremlin is still there.
Because it's a double edge sword it will make buffs by other characters finish faster.
Im not really worried cause I have both and sparkle is e2 s1 but what your saying is she only works really well with mono quantum and yeah unfortunately its true either they make more characters that can benefit with her abilities or it'll just become another character left in the dust like Yukong which will be inevitable as time passes
Can't use in dot, break,fua,acheron e0 its over
I got a fully geared and build Robin and I wanted Sparkle too because of me failling to get her and getting E1 Bailu.
Everyone lauged at me so I was gonna get sparkle on her rerun to finally show my online buddies that this time around I wasn't washing my garanthee on characters like DHIL.
But then I got Robin and I decided to fully build her because my Clara was in desperate need for a good harmony support and I did not had sparkle
now it seems, that Robin helps my Clara way more than Sparkle would had

@@Joe_Musashi it’s only in these types of games that it’s an issue, people grow a real attachment to these characters and die on hills for them so you get extremists on both sides.

@@_Gabimaru if you think this game doesn't have a crazy skill gap then why bother making a video about how useless a character is if apparantly it doesn't matter?
@@BladeDevil saying there’s barely a skill gap in the game ≠ lying about how good a character is, sparkle is due for a rerun in like 2 weeks I’m gonna make a video telling people she’s not bis for any current or future dps were aware of other then mono quantum. Getting a unit that’s way more universal like robin on her rerun and overall better can help people clear easier and faster while also being more futureproof while sparkle isn’t and is already fading into obscurity
@@_Gabimaru you just said she has value in mono quantum. which in itself is a pretty commonly used team. she's also amazing in DHIL's team. At the end of the day meta slaves are trash and nothing in this game requires you to run the best of anything.
@@BladeDevil mono quantum isn’t anywhere near a common team and even e0 Acheron and firefly are taking 2-3 cycles in the 2.5 moc, anyone with a brain wouldn’t invest in a support that doesn’t work for any of the new dps’s and go for an even WORSE team that clears SLOWER with the already limited pulls they have unless their a money spender. Her pull value is garbage however if you already have her on your account she’s semi useable
I have e1s1 ruan, e0s0 sparkle and robin, thinking of e1s1 robin on re run
did you know you have to use multiple teams in this game in content such as memory of chaos? It legit doesn't matter how good robin is, she'll end up being crept as well and we'll have another video calling her "useless" again. Is sparkle weaker? no, she's used in certain teams and situations, much like EVERY UNIT IN THE GAME. SParkle is goated with DHIL and other sp hungry units, and I do not regret it at all.
Thats stupid IL Dan Hang is a Skill point drainer if you are running robin over sparkle for him then you are on massive coupium
Just few days more and we get to see if she or Aven reruns next patch
At the end of the day dps characters will be powercrept faster because you can still have 4 to 6 harmony slots you can use. Sparke is still an upgrade over pretty much any other harmony 4 star.
Now I see why Sparkle hates Robin in the lore
She doesn't hate Robin tho. She calls Robin a songbird while calling Sunday a chickenwing boy.
She doesn’t hate her, she calls her “lovely Robin” and “a cute young lady”
Here's to waiting for mono quantum to make a comeback.
I knew sparkle was overrated which is why i never even gave her a glance when i saw her reruning
And i dont think we entering a meta for sparkle anytime soon because the leak new relics for summoning characters
Even hypercarry teams prefer robin more 😂😂😂
Ah yes powercreep
Luckily for me I pulled both Robin and Sparkle so you could say I am unaffected :)
I still play dhil, but I use Robin, sparkle, huohuo. He hits like a damn truck.
I still love sparkle and can use with bronya for extra dps turns. Robin and ruan mei are the meta. I wonder where lingsha will be placed once she’s out.
Break team she’s gonna be #1 but she’ll be below aventurine overall imo
I'm a QQ main and I love my sparkle
So there's no point in getting a sparkle unless you have the certain DPS for her I'll just pull on adventuring then if he's get to rerun in the next patch I need him cuz I already have the full follow up comp I just need him in my follow-up team is complete the next character I'm going to need is Black Swan I hope I get lucky on both of their banners wish me luck😢
Of course your sparkle is bad she is at 136 speed and only 194 crit dmg. I think this is just you not understanding how to build sparkle and there is nothing wrong with that
Why is ur sparkle on 136 spd loooooooooooooool. What even is the point of her if shes that slow? No wonder shes not performing as well as u hoped.
Well tbf, if everyone else is slower there isn't any issue 😂
Because I only started playing this game consistently recently and started right before penacony, every statistic I got was from people testing optimal teams in both future and current moc with perfectly built characters showcasing sparkle vs robin and even I summon made a video recently going over showing robin doing better then sparkle in the Acheron team. If you want to be blind and biased by attacking my account just say that
@@_Gabimaru 1. U made ur first sparkle is bad vid before u found these calcs u mentioned. so u already called her bad when u thought she was bis in a number of teams.
2. Robin does not outperform sparkle in teams where sparkle works to a degree that makes her completely outmatched. How much more dpr do robin teams do compared to sparkle according to ur sources? 10% or more? Thats is that much of an issue for u that u regret pulling her? Maybe playing gachas with power creep isnt for u.
3. You completely fail to see that there is numbers on sheets and theres playstyle and with robin aint no casual player maximising their dpr not knowing what their doing and optimising their play on manual. with sparkle u slap 161 spd on her and ure ballin even on auto play. I highly doubt any casual player will have a better performance with robin over sparkle in a dhil or e2 acheron or jing yuan team.
@@s-zs7nn 1. my first video calling her “bad” has to do with her pull value, I even mentioned in that video she’s still bis for old dps’s and that I just regret pulling for her cause she doesn’t fit into any of these new dps’s teams
2. I literally state in the video the difference is minimal however her pull value still plummets as robin now works better in every team in the game over her other then mono quantum and for the teams sparkle doesn’t specialize in it’s a bloodbath
3. There’s multiple leakers on yt, most of them barely even know how to play optimally and admit to not doing so yet still clear better or on par which is all that matters. You can make this argument for optimal sparkle runs as well. Not to mention 2.4 MOC the leakers haven’t been able to 0 cycle with sparkle but we’re with robin
@@_Gabimaru 1. I guess thats up to interpretation since its pull value. If thats how u see it i wont argue with it.
2. I disagree about her value plummeting. If the difference in performance is minimal her value isnt vastly inferior unless u play follow up teams and have aventurine. In which case why pull for sparkle over robin? U pull sparkle for hypercarries.
3. The reason robin performs much better in 0 cycles than any other harmony is because of her ult. If u dont 0 cycle she will barely be of any value until maybe the 4th cycle. Shes the easiest harmony to 0 cycle with but if you just want to clear well enough u dont need her. Her having the easiest speedrun clears even for casual players doesnt mean her dpr is going to be better for casuals in extended battles.
Sparkle can transform herself into robin tho
Still want to pull for Sparkle. Please wish me luck bro
That is cap bro robin is no ruan mei wtf are you on bro
How is Robin a better support for Acheron? Especially E2 Acheron? I mean, sure, she may deal more damage with robin, but she’s gonna get less turns and also less skill points with robin.
DHIL as well, the main reason we use sparkle on DHIL is mainly only for skill points, which Robin can’t provide.
I just can’t seem to get around how robin is better than sparkle in E2 Acheron teams and in DHIL teams. I mean, sure, she buffs the shit out of all your characters, but in situations where turns and skill points are more valued, how is Robin better than sparkle?
Team wide buff and action advance, not to mention robin is in her ult for 2-3 turns and you only skill once with her to get ult to begin with. Most of the tests being done are with gallagher however aventurine works as well since he’s sp positive. Sparkle is only sp positive by 1 skill point it’s really not that big of a difference since your always using skill on her, however robins better buffs and the fact it applies team wide with an action advance for everyone makes her better (same applies to dhil team)
Since Robin gives a lot of atk, you don't need atk boots and can run spd boots. Sparkle at 160 spd is going to give 2 turns to a base spd DPS for the first cycle. Robin with Concerto can give the whole team 3 turns if they're all at 134+ spd.
And if you use Gallagher with QPQ, you can funnel enough energy into Robin to get her ult back immediately after Concerto ends, giving two ults per cycle potentially. If you also use Tingyun to battery Robin, it can be up to 3 ults in the first cycle if you count both waves.
So you're solving the SP issues with Gallagher, who is very SP positive, and you're getting 2-3 Robin ults in the first cycle across both waves, which means a total of 6-7 DPS turns as opposed to Sparkle's 4, plus having the whole team take more actions as well, plus every member of the team doing more damage thanks to Robin's additional damage procs, plus Robin's buffs overall being very good and covering dmg%, atk and CD. She's harder to play, but she has a higher ceiling if you play her right.

If you go for feixiao the team would be feixiao bronya robin and gallagher (or aventurine or lingsha useable too) and if you don’t have bronya i think sparkle is worse but still a good replacement, another option would be to replace either of them with March as she provides some decent buffs while also helping stacks a bit more.

Also i want to ask were did you heard that from i want know cause it's hard for me to believed that robin is better than sparkle with DHIL I would love to know and see for myself cause doesn't sparkle fix DHIL problems with all the skill points she give?
Also you only talk about her buffing but you never talk about her good qualities and utility she gives with all her skill points and increasing the skill point cap from 5 to 7 and with 160 speed you always can go attack boots cause of how often she can advance you forward compare to robin.

ua-cam.com/video/-q80QowuJSk/v-deo.html
Can someone explain to me why robin is better for acheron teams than sparkle ?
Sparkle only works for hypercarries (buffs only one character), whereas Robin buffs everyone, my Pela and Aventurine become DPSs because of her.
And the action advance forwards of all teammates is more broken than action advance of only one teammate, also since more stacks are generated for Acheron this way.
I think sparkle is better here. If you build sparkle correctly then you can make Acheron go 2 to 3 times per turn which is 1 time more than robin so I that sense sparkle is better plus the ridiculous crit dmg boost sparkle will give to Acheron.
I have a premium fua team and plan on building a 2nd team with a hypercarry yunli and huohuo. Is there anyone else i can use instead of sparkle??
Ruan Mei break teams
Ruan Mei is second best in FuA team if you need Robin for Yunli
its ok if you pull for Sparkle the 1st time, because people dont know what will the meta gonna be, people cant predict it. but doing another video make you look like a hater
I'm not pulling for Robin 'cause her music is annoying.
RIIIIISE UP INTO MY- 🎶
robin is better than ruan mei
okay that's just blatantly wrong, they both server entire different purposes, put a Robin in a Firefly or Boothil team instead of Ruan Mei and we will see how much better Robin is in buffing break effect & break efficiency
@@bamboozled_again there are much more fua chars than break chars
robin has lower average clear cycle
skill ceiling is crazy
right now ruan mei has more stronger dps characters to serve, but robin's fua teams have immense potential, with her 15k~ with every hit, you can do unbelievable things
@@bamboozled_againrobin is better than or at worst equal to ruan mei in every team except break.
@@lito7306super break* she outperforms rm in normal break teams
Sparkle could never hahaha. Considered your account bricked for having sparkle and not having robin. Take the big L sparkle havers who skipped Robin
You can always un-install shit rail and play something better.
Well that new warhammer 40k orc race game is not for phones tho.
Your account isnt bricked for pulling sparkle, shes not useless
I like how you keep posting this dumb comment on multiple threads. I think the only thing here taking L's is your life cause apparantly you have nothing but free time.
