It is well known that rough surfaces trigger prompt splashing and suppress corona splashing on droplet impact. Upon water droplet impact, we experimentally found that a slightly rough substrate triggers corona splashing which is suppressed to prompt splashing by both further increase and further decrease of surface roughness. The nonmonotonic effect of surface roughness on corona splashing weakens with decreasing droplet surface tension. The threshold velocities for prompt splashing and corona splashing are quantified under different conditions including surface roughness, droplet diameter, and droplet surface tension. It is determined that slight roughness significantly enhances both prompt splashing and corona splashing of a water droplet, whereas it weakly affects low-surface-tension droplet splashing. Consistent with previous studies, high roughness triggers prompt splashing and suppresses corona splashing. Further experiments on droplet spreading propose that the mechanism of slight roughness enhancing water droplet splashing is due to the decrease of the wetted area with increasing surface roughness.
