I tried sparkling once, and only once, during this year's summer event. Was going for final clear on E2 and decided I was going to go all in to get the map over and done with. Sparkled all my ships and sent out both support expeditions. Sortied to the E2 map and at the first node an enemy BB crits Ryuujou into the red. Retreat, bucket Ryuujou. Ships are still sparkled so I try again, only for the exact same thing to happen. By now, the sparkling had worn off. After so many resources spent sparkling ships and sending out support expeditions only to get sent back at the first node I said to heck with both of them. The next 5 to 6 runs after that made it to the boss node only for both my heavy cruisers to get taken out by Hoppo during the day batte every time.

Long story short, RNG can and will screw with you no matter what you do.
