for each basepart i am creating a decal and tweening its transparency,
(about 180 tweens at a time)

it causes quite a bit of lag and it shows in the microprofiler,

i have alredy tried
-tweening each individual decal
-tweening a number value and making a listener to each decal
-renderstepped loop that loops through an array of all the decals

all of which causes the same yield of lag.

		for _,child in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
			if child:IsA("BasePart") and not(child.Name == "HumanoidRootPart") then
				
				for _,face in pairs(faceLoop) do
					print("tween")
					local decal = Decal:Clone()
					decal.Face = face
					decal.Parent = child
					
					local tween = tweenService:Create(decal,TweenInfo.new(6),{Transparency = 0})
					tween:Play()
					game.Debris:AddItem(decal,10)
				end
			end
		end

Are you doing this in a server script, or a local script?
Usually, high intensity loops lag on the server, since the processing power is smaller.

Local loops usually give smoother effects. If you are already using a Local Script to do these animations, I would recommend avoid using Tweens (a lot of overhead, just for tweening transparency) and instead use the RunService’s RenderStepped.

You should use coroutines or task.spawn to prevent main thread yielding and destroy the Tween object after it finished tweeting, that should reduce lag.
