I encountered this issue a while ago as well. What worked for me was creating a new Niagara System VFX asset using the ‘Empty’ template. Once that’s set up, you should be able to assign it as the Character spawn VFX.

Yeah I realized that too after a bit. Would be nice to be an option though, as it is confusing
