Honkai: Star Rail’s most recentCharacter Previewhas revealed extensive information about Sunday. This character has already made multiple in-game appearances and is known as Robin’s older brother. Sunday also appears in the boss fight titled Harmonious Choir - The Great Septimus. Sunday has been revealed to follow the Path of Harmony, which is typically reserved forsupportive characters inHonkai: Star Rail. According to the preview, Sunday will be a new support character who enables ally characters and their summons to take immediate action. Sunday’s Technique effect allows him to increase an ally’s damage output the first time he uses an ability. His Normal Attack deals Imaginary damage to a single enemy on the field.
Honkai: Star Rail - Sunday Kit Explained
Sunday’s kit allows one ally character and their summons to immediately take action and increases their damage output. If the character has a summon, the damage buff will be additionally increased. It should be noted that this action effect cannot be applied to otherHarmony characters inHonkai: Star Rail. The buff also increases a teammate’s CRIT Rate for several turns.
Sunday’s Ultimate, Ode to Aress and Cicatrix, regenerates a certain amount of Energy for one ally character, scaling with their Max Energy. If the ally has a summon, it transforms into “The Beatified,” granting additional CRIT Rate for three turns. However, if Sunday is defeated, the Ultimate effect is canceled. Sunday’s Traces inHonkai: Star Railfocus on Energy Regeneration and removing debuffs from allies. Many fans seem disappointed with Sunday’s kit and overall effectiveness on the battlefield, as they had hoped he would be a newDPS character inHonkai: Star Rail.
However, some players speculate that Sunday might become a must-have unit in the coming months asHonkai: Star Rail’s metacould change significantly. Currently, the dominant team compositions rely heavily on the Break effect, but fans believe the next meta may emphasize characters’ summons.
