Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprites: Every Sprite, Ability, and Drop Rate
Sprites are collectible companion creatures in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 that grant passive abilities during a match. Players find Sprites from Sprite Chests and other loot sources, secure them through extraction, then summon unlocked Sprites later with Sprite Dust. The best overall Sprite is Zero Point for defense, Demon is strongest for aggressive players, and Earth or Burnt Peanut are best for loot-focused runs.
This guide covers all twenty-one Sprites in the season, including the five added on June 25, 2026 (Fishy, Aura, Striker, Boss, and Grim), the five DC Hot Bat Summer Sprites added July 16, 2026 (Air, Seven, Batman, Vini Jr., and Pollo), and the Holofoil variants added July 9, 2026: what they do, how to get them, the Base, Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil variants, and every ability, location, summon cost, and drop rate.

What are Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3?
A Sprite is a passive companion that floats alongside you and applies an ability for as long as it is active. Abilities cover the whole spread of battle royale needs: shield regeneration, extra loot from chests, weapon and pickaxe buffs, lifesteal on eliminations, and defensive tools. Every Sprite belongs to a rarity tier, and the rarer the Sprite, the stronger or more situational its effect tends to be.
The four rarity tiers, from most common to rarest, are Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. The three Rare Sprites are the season starters and the easiest to find, while the Mythic Sprites are the rarest pulls in the loot pool.
How to get Sprites in Fortnite
- Open Sprite Chests, regular Chests, Rare Chests, and Supply Drops during a match to find Sprites.
- Secure the Sprite you want during the match. Many have a preferred spawn location on the map.
- Survive to extraction to add the Sprite to your collection permanently.
- Use Sprite Dust to summon any unlocked Sprite in future matches.
Sprite rarities and variants: Base, Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil
Every Sprite now comes in up to five variants. Each special variant keeps the Sprite's Base ability and stacks on one extra bonus effect:
- Base: the standard version, which carries the Sprite's own rarity and ability.
- Gold: the Base ability plus 3x bonus XP from eliminations. It costs more Sprite Dust to summon and drops far less often than the Base version.
- Gummy: the Base ability plus 20% more Sprite Dust upon Extraction. A rare special variant with a low drop rate.
- Galaxy: added June 18, 2026 to every original Sprite (the five Sprites added June 25 ship with it from launch). It keeps the Base ability and adds 30% more Ammunition when looting, wrapped in a swirling cosmic finish. Galaxy variants are among the rarest cosmetic pulls in the Sprite pool.
- Holofoil: the newest special variant, added July 9, 2026. It keeps the Base ability and adds a squad-wide 5% chance to find rare Sprite Variants (Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy) when looting chests, wrapped in an iridescent foil finish. The first wave brought Water, Fire, Ghost, King, and Striker on July 9, and the July 16 update added Holofoil versions of Air, Seven, and Batman.
Rare Sprites: the season starters
The three Rare Sprites are the most common in the pool at a 13.92% Base drop rate from Sprite Chests, and they are the cheapest to summon at 100 Sprite Dust. They are a strong foundation for any loadout. Each card below shows the stats exactly as they read in-game.
Epic Sprites
The four Epic Sprites sit at a 5.22% Base drop rate and cost 3,000 Sprite Dust to summon. They add more specialized tools to a loadout.
Legendary Sprites
The two Legendary Sprites drop at a 2.436% Base rate and cost 5,000 Sprite Dust to summon. They are rarer and more unusual than the Epic options.
Mythic Sprites
The Mythic tier holds the rarest and most powerful Sprites in Chapter 7 Season 3, with Base drop rates around 1% to 1.5% and summon costs of 7,500 Sprite Dust.
Every Galaxy Sprite, by rarity
Galaxy arrived on June 18, 2026 as a fourth special variant added to every original Sprite alongside Gold and Gummy, and the five Sprites added on June 25 launched with it built in. A Galaxy Sprite keeps its Base ability, adds 30% more Ammunition when looting, and gets a swirling cosmic skin. They sit at the bottom of the drop tables, making a specific Galaxy Sprite one of the hardest pulls in the season. Here is the full Galaxy lineup, grouped by the Sprite's underlying rarity.
Holofoil Sprites: the July 9 variants
Fortnite added Holofoil Sprites on July 9, 2026, a brand new fifth variant type that sits above Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy. The first wave brought five Holofoils: Water, Fire, Ghost, King, and Striker, each with an iridescent foil finish and a shared squad perk stacked on top of its Base ability. More Holofoil variants are on the way, with the roster expected to grow to cover most Sprites in the season.
June 25 Sprites: Fishy, Aura, Striker, Boss, and Grim
Fortnite added five Sprites on June 25, 2026 — Fishy, Aura, Striker, Boss, and Grim — each launching with the full Base, Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy variant set. They span every rarity, from a cheap Rare mobility starter up to Grim, the rarest Sprite in the game. For a deeper standalone breakdown, see our dedicated June 25 Sprite Variants article.
July 16 Sprites: the DC Hot Bat Summer additions
Fortnite's v41.20 update on July 16, 2026 added five more Sprites as part of the DC Hot Bat Summer event: Air, Seven, Batman, Vini Jr., and Pollo. Air, Seven, and Batman each come in the full Base, Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil variant set, with a sixth Gem variant listed as unreleased, while the Vini Jr. and Pollo collab Sprites arrived as Base versions for now. Every stat below matches the current fortnite.gg listings.
Best Sprites to chase in Chapter 7 Season 3
The right Sprite depends on how you play, but a few stand out:
- Best for survival: Zero Point. A free Shield Bubble every time you heal is one of the strongest defensive tools in the game, and the duration climbs to 10 seconds at Max Level.
- Best for aggression: Demon. Lifesteal on eliminations keeps you topped up through back-to-back fights, which is exactly when you need it most.
- Best for loot: Earth early game and Burnt Peanut late game. Earth stacks rare items from chests on the way up, while Burnt Peanut can rain extra and even Mythic loot off eliminations.
- Best free starter: Water. Cheap to summon, easy to find, and shield regen near water is reliable value on a water-heavy map.
- Most worth gambling on: Dream. A Legendary that hands out items as it levels and dumps legendary loot at Max Level is a strong tempo pick if you can level it.
- Best for mobility: Striker for fast rotations off mantles and hurdles, or Fishy on water-heavy drops where the swim speed and damage-triggered move burst shine.
- Best survival booster: Boss. A flat increase to max HP and Shield, up to 25 of each at Max Level, is raw effective health you keep all game.
- Rarest flex: Grim. At a 0.000098% Base drop it is the hardest Sprite to pull in the game, and marking anyone who attacks you turns careless pushes into easy reads.
- Best squad-utility variant: any Holofoil. The 5% squad-wide chance to find rare Sprite Variants helps your whole team farm Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy pulls faster.
- Best new mobility pick: Air. Faster sprint, higher jumps, and zero fall damage make it one of the most forgiving rotation tools in the season, and at 2,000 Dust it is the cheapest of the July 16 Sprites to summon.
- Best for squad info: Seven. Lighting up enemy foot trails for your whole team turns rotations and third-parties into easy reads, and the reveal lasts up to 30 seconds when leveled. At a 6.98% Base drop it is also the easiest of the new Sprites to find.
- Best DC collab pick: Batman. The Bat Cape launch doubles as a repositioning tool and a glider replacement, and at a 2.23% Base drop it is the most attainable of the new Mythics.
- Best for aggressive slides: Vini Jr. A destructive slide plus a fire-rate and reload boost off slide-kicks rewards a fast, close-range playstyle.
- Best squad shield support: Pollo. Passive shield regen for you and nearby teammates after every elimination is strong value in Duos and Squads.
Sprite Dust, summon costs, and drop rates at a glance
Costs and drop rates follow the rarity ladder. Base versions get cheaper to summon and easier to find the lower the rarity, while the Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil variants always cost more and drop less:
- Rare (Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy, Air): 100 Dust Base, 4,000 Gold and Gummy, with Air the exception at 2,000 Dust to summon. Base drop 13.92% (Fishy 13.79%; Air lists 0% for now).
- Epic (Duck, Ghost, King, Demon, Aura, Striker): 3,000 Dust Base, 6,000 Gold and Gummy. Base drop 5.22% (Aura and Striker 5.74%).
- Legendary (Dream, Punk, Boss, Seven): 5,000 Dust Base, 10,000 Gold and Gummy. Base drop 2.436% (Boss 2.63%, Seven 6.98%).
- Mythic (Zero Point, Burnt Peanut, Grim, Batman, Vini Jr., Pollo): 7,500 Dust Base, 15,000 Gold and Gummy. Base drop around 1% to 1.5% (Batman 2.23%), with Grim far rarer at 0.000098% and the Vini Jr. and Pollo collabs listing 0% for now.
- Holofoil (Water, Fire, Ghost, King, Striker): 4,000 Dust for the Rare bases (Water, Fire) and 6,000 for the Epic bases (Ghost, King, Striker). They drop from the same sources as the Base Sprite at much lower rates, with Holofoil Hours on July 11 boosting the odds.
Frequently asked questions
What are Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3? Sprites are collectible companion creatures that grant a passive ability, such as shield regen, extra loot, cloak, pickaxe damage, or lifesteal. Each one has a rarity from Rare to Mythic and gets stronger as it levels up during a match.
How do you get Sprites in Fortnite? You find them in matches from Sprite Chests, regular Chests, Rare Chests, and Supply Drops, often near a preferred location on the map, then secure them and survive to extraction to add them to your collection. Each Sprite has its own drop rate, so rarer ones take longer to find.
What is Sprite Dust used for? Sprite Dust is the currency that summons a Sprite you have already unlocked back into a match. Higher rarities and special variants cost more Dust, from 100 for a Rare starter up to 15,000 for a Mythic Gold or Gummy variant.
What is the rarest Sprite in Chapter 7 Season 3? Grim, added June 25, 2026, is the rarest Base Sprite by far at a 0.000098% drop rate. Among the originals, Zero Point is the rarest at 1.044%, and the Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil variants are rarer still than any Base version.
What is the difference between the Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil Sprite variants? All four keep the Base ability and stack one bonus effect. Gold adds 3x bonus XP from eliminations, Gummy adds 20% more Sprite Dust on extraction, Galaxy (added June 18, 2026) adds 30% more Ammunition when looting, and Holofoil (added July 9, 2026) adds a squad-wide 5% chance to find rare Sprite Variants from chests. Galaxy, Gummy, and Holofoil are the rarest variants of all.
What are Holofoil Sprites and how do you get them? Holofoil Sprites are an iridescent fifth variant type added July 9, 2026, starting with Water, Fire, Ghost, King, and Striker. Each keeps its Base ability and adds a squad-wide 5% chance to find rare Sprite Variants (Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy) from chests. They drop from the same places as their Base Sprite at much lower rates, and Epic's Holofoil Hours on Saturday, July 11, 2026 (2 PM and 9 PM ET) raise the spawn rate. Summoning one costs 4,000 Sprite Dust for the Rare bases and 6,000 for the Epic bases.
What new Sprites were added on July 16, 2026? Five, as part of the v41.20 DC Hot Bat Summer update: Air (Rare, sprint and jump boost with no fall damage), Seven (Legendary, reveals enemy foot trails to your squad), Batman (Mythic, Bat Cape midair glide launch), Vini Jr. (Mythic, destructive slide plus fire-rate and reload boost on slide-kicks), and Pollo (Mythic, squad shield regen on elimination). Air, Seven, and Batman come in all five variants; Vini Jr. and Pollo are Base-only for now.
Where do you find the July 16 Sprites? Batman is found rarely in Sprite Chests, Air and Seven spawn near high and mountainous areas, and Vini Jr. comes from Relic Chests. Pollo's location is not yet listed in-game. As with every Sprite, you have to secure it and survive to extraction to keep it.
What is the best Sprite to use? For most players Zero Point is the strongest overall thanks to its on-demand Shield Bubble, while Demon is the top aggressive pick and Earth or Burnt Peanut are the best for stacking loot. Among the newer Sprites, Boss is a strong survival booster, Striker and Air are excellent for mobility, and Seven gives your squad reliable enemy tracking.
