Sparxie is getting a new outfit in Honkai: Star Rail. Called Candy-Coated Waves, the skin is a paid cosmetic tied to Version 4.4, and it can be picked up from the in-game store for Oneiric Shards once the update goes live.
Quick answer: Buy Candy-Coated Waves from the Outfit Show Window store for 1,350 Oneiric Shards after Version 4.4 launches on July 14, 2026 (UTC-5). The discount ends when the patch does, after which the price rises to 1,680 Oneiric Shards.
Release status and date
Status: Confirmed. Candy-Coated Waves becomes available when Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.4 releases on July 14, 2026 (UTC-5). The skin is not sold before the patch goes live, so there is no way to claim or preview-purchase it early.
Note: The outfit stays in the store after Version 4.4, so you are not locked out if you miss the launch window. Only the price changes.
Price during and after Version 4.4
The skin carries a launch discount that only applies while Version 4.4 is running. Buying it during the patch saves you 330 Oneiric Shards compared to the regular price.
| Purchase window | Cost |
|---|---|
| During Version 4.4 | 1,350 Oneiric Shards |
| After Version 4.4 ends | 1,680 Oneiric Shards |
How to get Candy-Coated Waves
You will know the purchase worked when the outfit appears in Sparxie’s cosmetics list and can be equipped from her character screen. If you buy during the patch, the store should show the 1,350 Oneiric Shards price rather than 1,680.

Candy-Coated Waves is a straightforward cosmetic swap for Sparxie with no gameplay effect, so the only decision that matters is timing. If you already know you want it, grabbing it during Version 4.4 is the cheapest option before it settles at its standard 1,680 Oneiric Shards price.
