Open the Sprite Checklist →What Is the Fishy Sprite and How Rare Is It?
The Fishy Sprite is a Rare-tier companion that arrived in the v41.10 patch, joining the elemental side of the Sprite roster. As a Rare-tier collectible, it sits at the more common end of the lineup, which makes it a realistic early collection target rather than a once-in-a-season chase.
Its base Normal version drops at 13.79%, the highest base rate among the Rare swimmers, so most players who open enough chests will run into one fairly quickly. That accessibility is exactly why it is a smart pickup for newer collectors learning how the Sprite system works, and it is rarely the bottleneck when you are trying to finish the Rare tier of your collection.
How to Find and Extract the Fishy Sprite
You will find the Fishy Sprite inside chests scattered across the map, with high and mountainous areas being the most reliable hunting grounds. Drop into elevated terrain, crack open every chest you can reach, and keep moving between peaks to maximize your chest count per match.
Once one appears, you need to extract it to lock it into your collection, so survive long enough to complete the extraction rather than dying with it unsecured. If you would rather summon the Fishy Sprite directly, the summon cost is 100, giving you a guaranteed path when the random chest hunt is not cooperating. That fixed price makes it easy to plan: if you are short on time, skip the search entirely and buy the pull outright.
The Fishy Sprite Ability: Is It Worth Using?
The Fishy Sprite ability increases your swim speed and grants a movement boost while you are taking fire. That combination makes the Fishy Sprite a genuinely useful pick on water-heavy maps and during messy rotations, because the moment an enemy opens up on you, it kicks in extra mobility to help you break line of sight and reposition. Faster swimming also means you spend less time exposed crossing rivers and lakes, where players are often easy targets.
If your playstyle leans aggressive or rotation-focused, the Fishy Sprite earns its slot; if you sit still and hold angles, you may feel its movement perks less. Overall, for a Rare companion, the Fishy Sprite punches above its tier and stays relevant well past the early game.
Every Fishy Sprite Variant, Drop Rate, and Bonus
The Fishy Sprite comes in four released themes, each with its own drop rate and gameplay bonus on top of the shared swim ability. The Normal Fishy Sprite drops at 13.79% and provides the standard Sprite ability with no extra bonus. The Gold version is much scarcer at 0.17% and rewards you with 3x bonus Sprite XP from eliminations, making it the go-to for fast leveling.
The Gummy version sits at 0.08% and grants +20% Sprite Dust on extraction, which is excellent for crafting-minded players. The rarest is the Galaxy Fishy Sprite at 0.06%, giving +30% more ammo on pickup for sustained firefights. Unlike some other Sprites in the roster, this one has no Gem, Holofoil, or Rift variant listed, so these four themes complete the full Fishy Sprite set with nothing hidden behind future updates.
Tips and Strategy for Chasing the Fishy Sprite
Because the Normal Fishy Sprite is so common, your real grind is the cosmetic and bonus themes. Prioritize landing in mountainous, chest-dense zones and open every container before rotating, since raw chest volume is what surfaces a rare Gold, Gummy, or Galaxy Fishy Sprite. Always extract once a strong variant appears rather than greeding for one more fight. If randomness is wearing you down, spend the 100 summon cost to guarantee a pull and free up your luck for the harder variants.
Track which Fishy Sprite themes you still need on our Sprite Checklist so you never waste extractions on duplicates, and use the Sprite Checklist to plan your hunts around the variants you are missing. Add every Fishy Sprite you unlock to the checklist to watch your collection fill out match by match, and you will always know whether to keep grinding chests or move on to the next Sprite on your list.
