The Sparks in Rayman DLC in Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope). This allows players to better prepare for each battle, adjusting the elements present in their Sparks to attack enemy weaknesses. There are a few Sparks, however, that players should always have equipped to a character, regardless of the enemies they face.
The best Sparks in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope provide unique advantages not supplied by characters while also working against most enemies. This means elemental Sparks like Aquanox and Toxiquake won't be on the list, with one exception. The order of Sparks in this article doesn't reflect a ranking; each one is valuable.

Different battles across the game have different end goals, such as getting to the end of the map or destroying certain objects. Typically, however, the goal is to defeat every enemy. That means the best Sparks are those who can damage as many enemies as possible. Cyrogeddon is an exception, being an elemental Spark. The Frostbite Super Effect prevents characters from moving, which is so frustrating that having a Spark who can get rid of that status is vital, especially while trying to reach Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope's Midnite boss battle.
Although these Sparks are arguably the best in the game, not all of them can or should be used in every battle. Instead, players should use Beep-O, their robot companion, to scan the arena and determine what enemies they're facing. Sparks are meant to be traded between heroes and make every battle in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope interesting, strengthening characters and overcoming any variable the game can throw at them.
