KC is a game of RNG. You can win without sparkles and you can fail with sparkles.

That said, sparkles helps.

High level players with level 90 ships (you know who you are) can often times get by without sparkling. I didn't go out of my way to sparkle for this event because my fleet was high enough of a level that I didn't need it (and the event was easier than the last event). For me it wasn't worth the time or resources to sparkle.

Now if you are bumping up against an impossible wall, by all means sparkle your fleet because if you aren't sparkling then you aren't trying. You might need every possible variable to push RNG to your favor. When you look at the resources spent it might seem like a lot, but it is really only about a third of a run. 4 bars of fuel/ammo for first and second fleet to sparkle vs. 8 bars of fuel/ammo for first and second fleet + 5 bars of fuel and 8 bars of ammo for boss support fleet.
