There are thirty equippable Sparks in the base game. Starburst belongs to the prologue, followed by eight on Beacon Beach, seven on Pristine Peaks, six on Palette Prime, five on Terra Flora and three on Barrendale Mesa. Twinkle, Decibel and Drizzle provide exploration powers and are counted separately.
Prologue — 1 Spark
Starburst

Aquanox
Unlock: Light Your Fire. Splash Attack adds Splash to weapon attacks, useful for pushing vulnerable enemies toward a ledge.

Cryobolide
Unlock: Freeze in Your Tracks. Frostbite Attack adds Frostbite to weapon attacks, restricting affected enemies’ movement.
Ethering
Unlock: Wolf at the Door. Unseen prevents direct targeting for its duration. It does not make standing in every area explosion safe.

Pyrogeddon
Unlock: A Cold Greeting. Skyrain Burn bombards the area with burning meteors; useful against groups weak to Burn.

Regenesis
Unlock: Hide N’ Squeak. Regen restores the user’s HP over subsequent turns. Activate it early enough for the recovery to matter.

Unlock: Pristine Peaks Secret Zone. Vamp Dash adds Lifesteal to Dashes, letting an injured mobile hero recover while attacking.
Palette Prime — 6 Sparks
Open the Palette Prime walkthrough

Unlock: A Ghostly Sunset. Shockwave Gust pushes nearby enemies away with Gust waves.
Electrogeddon
Unlock: Roots of Corruption. Skyrain Shock rains electrified meteors over an area.
Vampastra
Unlock: Bury the Hatchet. Vamp Attack gives weapon damage Lifesteal. Use a strong attack to make the healing worthwhile.

Unlock: A Dryad’s Dream. Gust Dash charges Dashes with Gust for damage and displacement.

Open the Terra Flora walkthrough
Aquaquake
Unlock: Ooze Inside the Everbloom. Shockwave Splash creates nearby Splash waves, providing displacement when enemy protections allow it.
Pulser
Unlock: Spout Forth. Revive restores nearby fallen heroes. Move into range before activating it; Pulser is a Spark, not a consumable card sold by the shop.
Oozer Master
Unlock: Sullivan’s Despair. Summon Oozer supplies an allied Oozer for battlefield support.
Toxicomet
Unlock: The Quest for Courage. Ooze Attack adds Ooze to weapon attacks. Check the enemy’s resistance before spending the activation.

Twinkle: Obtain Scan Power when entering Spellbound Woods or the secret passage beneath Woodrow’s house on Palette Prime. Scan yellow footprints and suspicious gaps for invisible objects and routes.
Drizzle: Meet Bea in Terra Flora’s Everbloom Tree to upgrade Wave Power for the planet’s vegetation and bridge mechanisms. These three Sparks cannot be assigned to a battle slot.
The Last Spark Hunter — five new battle Sparks
Berserk
Unlock: The March of the Golems. Frenzy increases the user’s attack and damage resistance according to the number of nearby enemies.
Vampgeddon
Unlock: Missing Musicians. Skyrain Lifesteal deals area damage and restores HP from the damage dealt.
Electroquake
Unlock: Embuscade!. Shockwave Shock sends three Shock waves around the user.
Cryodash
Unlock: Coup in Kanya’s HQ. Frostbite Dash improves Dashes and adds Frostbite.
Mayhem
Unlock: Treasure Hunter. Hypnotize temporarily turns affected enemies into allies; the selection and additional targets are chance based.
Rayman in the Phantom Show — two more battle Sparks
Cryoquake and Selfie are available at the start of Unlikely Team-Up. Cryoquake produces Frostbite waves; Selfie creates a hero doppelganger. The two Rabbid heroes can use these and the earlier battle Sparks, while Rayman uses his outfits instead of equipping Sparks.
Quiz Host and Movie Director are quest characters rather than equippable Sparks. Their quests award Gold Prisms, so they do not raise the usable Spark total. Open the Space Opera Network walkthrough.
Spark levels and the second equipment slot
The second Spark slot unlocks on Pristine Peaks when you reach Icy Breath of Winter. Before that, each hero has one slot. A Spark supplies an active Power and a passive Bonus; the passive still matters when you are saving the active ability for another turn.
Base-game Sparks begin at level 1 and can initially reach level 2. Hero level 9 unlocks Spark level 3, hero level 15 unlocks level 4, and hero level 21 unlocks level 5. The individual upgrades cost 100, 200, 350 and 550 Star Bits, for 1,200 from level 1 to level 5. A Star Potion grants one level, respecting the current cap; using it for an expensive later upgrade saves more Star Bits.
The DLC uses different progression. Tower Spark levels 3, 4 and 5 require hero levels 4, 7 and 10. The Last Spark Hunter starts Sparks at level 4 and allows level 5 upgrades. Rayman’s adventure caps Sparks at level 3, unlocked at hero level 5. Do not use the main campaign’s level gates for those separate modes.
Which Sparks should you upgrade first?
Start with a small set you actually use: Starburst for coordinated damage, Exosphere for a difficult enemy turn, an elemental Spark that exploits the next battle’s weakness, and a recovery option. Later, Ethering can enable a dangerous objective run and Pulser can rescue a damaged team.
For a multi-Dash hero, a Dash Spark can outperform a weapon buff. For enemies on the same platform behind cover, a quake can help; for several elevations, check its limits and consider another attack. Pairing the two slots is more useful than assigning two abilities that both compete for the same last action point. Gold Prism skills add chance-based bonuses to these choices.
