The unique effect of Earthly Escapade in Honkai Star Rail and the best characters for it

Before we take a look at the best Harmony characters for Earthly Escapade in Honkai Star Rail, Trailblazers should familiarize themselves with its unique effect, Capriciousness:

• Upon equipping, the wielder gets a CRIT DMG boost and they receive a unique buff named “Mask” at the start of a fight. This unique buff grants the wielder’s allies CRIT Rate and DMG boosts of 10% and 28%, respectively when engaged in a fight.
• The wearer will gain a stack of Radiant Flame whenever they replenish a Skill Point.
• When four stacks of Radiant Flames are in possession of the wielder, they gain the unique buff “Mask” for a total of four turns.

Since Earthly Escapade in Honkai Star Rail is Sparkle’s signature Light Cone, she is the perfect character for this piece of gear. Her kit is constructed to buff her allies’ CRIT DMG while also granting them a decent amount of damage boost. As this Light Cone increases the wielder’s CRIT DMG, it buffs Sparkle’s CRIT DMG boost.

Another Harmony unit who can utilize this Light Cone’s unique effect is Hanya. Since she can replenish SPs (Skill Points) for her team members, this Light Cone can benefit her allies quite a lot. However, Hanya doesn't specialize in boosting her allies’ CRIT DMG, making the 32% CRIT DMG boost from the Light Cone worthless for her.

On the bright side, Hanya’s ability to replenish SPs is quite frequent, which allows her to acquire the “Mask” effect consecutively.

Bronya

Bronya is the third character who can properly utilize the unique ability of Earthly Escapade in Honkai Star Rail. Like Sparkle, Bronya can also boost her allies’ CRIT DMG; therefore, the additional boost from the Light Cone helps the latter stand out more than others.

Since Bronya cannot replenish or recover Skill Points (SP) on her own, she cannot utilize Mask’s effects. However, if the Trailblazers have her first Eidolon in possession it allows Bronya to have a 50% chance of recovering the SP when using her Skill. Therefore, if players have E1 Bronya, Earthly Escapade is an outstanding Light Cone to use.
