Honkai Star Rail 4.0 has brought in a ton of new things, and one of them is the addition of a new boss. This new boss is none other than Sparxie, but in a more eccentric way, named as @SparxiConOfficial. The new HSR Sparxie boss can seem very complicated at first, but with the right characters and planning, you can easily defeat her. Here is a complete HSR SparxiConOfficial boss guide to help you defeat her.
Honkai Star Rail Sparxie Boss Fight Mechanics Explained
The Sparxie boss in HSR 4.0 has some complicated mechanics, so let us break it down for you piece by piece. First, Sparxie enables the Live Showdown mode, where you have to separate one of your characters to another plane. After the character is separated, they will face another set of enemies in the sub-plane, while the main enemy and your allies stay in the prime field.
Your allies can support each other, but cannot attack enemies on another plane, with the sole exception of Elation damage. Also, while the Live Showdown is going on, enemies in the prime plane take much reduced damage.
Now, you will have to defeat the enemies in the sub-plane, which will dispel the Liveshowdown and make Sparxie take more damage. This will be your time to deal a significant amount of damage to the boss. However, if you fail to break the Liveshowdown before the timer ends, Sparxie will deal a ton of AoE damage to your allies in the prime field, while also ensnaring the character in the sub-field.
That’s everything you basically need to know about the boss’s mechanic. However, if you want to read them yourself, check out the table below.
| Ability Name | Phase 1 |
|---|---|
| Get On the Mic! | Initiates Live Showdown and selects one target character to fight in sub field while other characters remain in the prime field providing support. During Live Showdown, Elation Skills can only target prime field enemies. A Live Showdown countdown appears in the Action Order. The Live Showdown will be dispelled when any of these conditions are met: countdown ends, the sub field target character is downed, all sub field friendly units are defeated, or when there are no sub field target characters left available to battle. |
| Commence Chat Bombing! | Phase 1: If all sub field friendly units are defeated when Live Showdown is dispelled, it increases the DMG taken by all friendly units, delays their actions, recovers Skill Points, and enables Aha to immediately gain 1 extra turn, where a fixed amount of Punchline is taken into account. This extra turn does not consume Punchline. If not all sub field friendly units are defeated when Live Showdown is dispelled, then it deals massive Quantum DMG to target characters going into the sub field, and inflicts them with “Entanglement.” Phase 2: If all sub field friendly units have been defeated when Live Showdown is dispelled, increases DMG taken by all friendly units, delays their actions, restores Skill Points, and grants Aha 1 extra turn, where a fixed amount of Punchline is taken into account. This turn does not consume Punchline. |
| Stream Promo | Apply the “Flooding Viewers” state to sub field friendly units, advancing their actions and increasing their CRIT Rate. |
| Friendship Level Adjustment | After Live Showdown is activated, attacking “Output Port 1” will increase “Ally Popularity,” while attacking “Output Port 2” will decrease “Enemy Popularity.” When “Ally Popularity” increases, “Output Port 1” action advances, and when “Enemy Popularity” decreases, “Output Port 2” action advances. |
| Fan Frenzy | After Live Showdown is activated, friendly targets on the prime field receive reduced DMG and become immune to Crowd Control debuffs. When Live Showdown is dispelled, if all friendly targets on the sub field are defeated, this effect will be removed. Otherwise, based on the remaining HP percentage of sub field friendly targets, a portion of the DMG Reduction effect will be retained until the next Live Showdown is activated. If this unit’s HP drops to a certain percentage without having activated Live Showdown, this unit’s action advances. |
| Bullet Comments Ready! | When Live Showdown is dispelled, if the sub field friendly units are still not defeated, it will deal Quantum DMG to all targets and has a chance to inflict random Bullet Comments penalties. The higher the remaining HP percentage of the sub field friendly units, the higher the DMG dealt and the higher the probability of penalties. |
How to Defeat HSR SparxiConOfficial AKA Sparxie Boss
Defeating SparxiConOfficial boss in Honkai Star Rail is fairly simple if you have Elation characters in the team. They can deal consistent Elation DMG, which completely negates the liveshowdown separation mechanic. However, if you don’t have an Elation team, then your target would be to dispel the LiveShowDown as quickly as possible and then deal damage to SparxiConOfficial.
