Epic Games has introduced 3 different types of Sprites in the game. However, future updates may include new ones or even remove this feature altogether. However, you have ample time to test the sprites as Chapter 6 Season 1 stays available till Feb 2025.

In this guide, we will explore different types of Sprite in Fortnite Chapter 6. After that, we will look at how to find sprites in the game. So, if you have been looking for a way to gain an edge on the battleground, keep reading!

Types of Sprites In Fornite

Let’s look at the different types of Fornite Sprites introduced in the update:

Air Sprite

Air sprites are grey-colored creatures that can move really fast. This makes them a little more difficult to catch as compared to other sprites in Fortnite.

What adds more difficulty is that the Air Sprites start running when you try to catch it. So, make sure your stamina levels are high before attempting to catch the Air Sprites.

Air Sprites can be used to get launched into the air and travel some good distance using the glider. So, if you want to travel from A to B in style, you should catch an Air Sprite.

Water Sprite

Water Sprite is the most common creature in Chapter 6 Season 1 update. You can find them all over the maps which means others can also easily find them.

Once equipped, the Water Sprites can help you store your teammates’ HP and shield. Basically, anyone who’s in the blue radius of the Water Sprite can benefit from its healing effects.

Earth Sprite

Out of all the Sprites in the game, the “Earth Sprite” is the most hard to find. Also, the appearance of Earth Sprite is different, and it just looks like a wooden man (resembles Groot).

However, the Earth Sprite doesn’t roam around the map and can be found at a fixed location. The spawns of Earth Sprites in each match are very limited. This means you need luck on your side to find one in Fortnite.

Earth Sprite provides rare weapons and special consumables, including fish. If you get lucky, you may even get mythic or legendary weapons from the Earth Sprite.
