In Chapter Six, Season One, introduced adorable little magic-infused Sprites that assist players in battle. There are three types of Sprites, each with different effects when thrown.
Water Sprites restore health and shields to nearby players, Air Sprites are the new movement tool of the season and create updrafts of wind that will help players to fly, and Earth Sprites —which cannot be picked up — give players rewards in return for being fed certain items.
Players can carry the Sprites with them and take advantage of their special perks or return them to Sprite Shrines.
Returning them to the Sprite Shrines will reward players with loot. To take advantage of these perks, players must know where to look.
Sprites are found all over season six map. So far, I've mostly found Water and Air Sprites, with the occasional Earth Sprite thrown in.
