I like that Sprites are back, and I like how they've now become the main gimmick for a whole season, rather than being sidelined for another gimmicks. I also adore all of their designs (excluding a certain Peanut one) 

BUT...

Why are half of them so useless?

Water Sprite - Useless as it was back in Chapter 6, no changes there, but its especially worse considering there's not a lot of water in endgames, other than the Rivers.

Earth Sprite - Not too bad, but the only real use for it is occasionally getting the mythic boots. I really haven't seen my gameplay change much while using it.

Fire Sprite - One of the few very useful ones, especially if you get a chance to level it up.

Duck Sprite - While having another healing Sprite is good, the healing takes so long even at higher levels, and occasionally just refuses to work entirely. 

Ghost Sprite - I just haven't found any use for this at all, and to be quite honest cloaking has never been a great advantage in this game.

Dream Sprite - While it sounds good on paper, by the time you get to level it up, you already have as good loot as it'll give, or even better. Not to mention its rarity

Demon Sprite - The siphon you get even at high levels is so laughably miniscule that I rarely even notice its happened.

King Sprite - In a third person shooter, and especially in a season with 3 very heavy hitting shotguns, in what world are you going to get up close and personal with your pickaxe?

Zero Point Sprite - While I haven't even seen it, let along get a chance to use it, for being so rare its ability seems so niche and unhelpful in a majority of scenarios

What do you think? Do Sprites need better abilities?

So, about Sprites and their usefulness...
