Creating an effective Honkai Star Rail Sunday build involves a blend of flexibility and accessibility, particularly by integrating a 5-star Light Cone that doesn’t require you to rely on the gacha system. To maximize Sunday’s performance, it’s essential to focus on specific stats while selecting the right Trace nodes and Relic sets that cater to his skill set, ensuring that obtaining the necessary resources isn’t an overwhelming task.
Optimal Build for Honkai Star Rail’s Sunday
Key Light Cones for Sunday
Sunday benefits greatly from his signature Light Cone, A Grounded Ascent, which significantly enhances his abilities. This Light Cone regenerates six energy each time he uses his skill or ultimate on an ally, while also granting that ally a Hymn stack – up to three times. Each Hymn increases the ally’s damage by 15%, cumulatively offering a 45% boost when all stacks are accumulated. Additionally, after casting skills or ultimates twice, it also restores one skill point, making it an ideal match for Sunday’s kit.
Another excellent option is But the Battle Isn’t Over, Bronya’s signature Light Cone. This item enhances energy regeneration by 10% and restores one skill point when the ultimate is used, though this effect refreshes every two castings. It provides a notable advantage as it also boosts the next ally’s damage by 30%, making it synergistic with Sunday’s skill, which allows an ally to act immediately. While this is a 5-star option, players can exchange Undying Starlight in the game’s shop for a copy.
If you are looking for an alternative, consider Earthly Escapade, which enhances the wearer’s critical damage and provides a passive effect that boosts the entire party’s crit rate by 10% and crit damage by 28%. Although it offers fewer buffs than the previous Light Cones mentioned, the increase in crit rate and damage remains a valuable asset for enhancing overall team performance.
For players on a budget, the 4-star Light Cone Past and Future is an easily attainable option available in the Forgotten Hall’s store. This Light Cone elevates ally damage by 16-32% when a skill is used, making it a swift choice to boost damage output with minimal investment.
Other options like Dance Dance Dance and Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds also offer unique benefits but are less ideal compared to Past and Future.
Relics for Sunday
The recommended Relic set for Sunday is Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal, which enhances his skill efficacy.
- Two-piece effect: Increases speed by 6%.
- Four-piece effect: When using a skill on an ally, their crit damage boosts by 18% for two turns (effect is stackable).
With the ability for the buff to stack and last for two turns, Sunday can effectively amplify an ally’s crit damage through his skill and ultimate. Additionally, his talent facilitates the crit rate increment, thus further enhancing synergy within the team. The speed boost helps ease the grind for Relic substats focused on speed tuning as well.
If Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal isn’t accessible yet, an alternative is Messenger Traversing Hackerspace.
- Two-piece effect: Increases speed by 6%.
- Four-piece effect: Boosts party speed by 12% when the user casts their ultimate.
Ornaments Best Suited for Sunday
For ornaments, both Lushaka, the Sunken Seas and Broken Keel provide substantial benefits.
- Lushaka: Enhances energy regeneration by 5%. If the wearer isn’t the lead in the lineup, the primary character gains a 12% attack boost.
With Broken Keel, the wearer gains a 10% increase in effect resistance, and once this resistance exceeds 30%, the entire party’s crit damage escalates by another 10%. Sunday’s Trace nodes provide an inherent 18% effect resistance, bringing it close to the necessary threshold with only a slight additional investment needed from Relic substats.
Alternatives such as Celestial Differentiator or The Wondrous BananAmusement Park emphasize crit damage but lack complementary effects specific to Sunday.
Essential Stats for Sunday
To optimize Sunday’s performance, focus on speed, crit damage, and energy regeneration, with crit damage being paramount. Aim for Sunday’s speed to be just one point below that of the ally he is buffing. This positioning allows Sunday to act immediately after the ally, enhancing their potential damage output. Additionally, Sunday’s ult becomes a pivotal source of crit damage for the target ally while enabling him to recover skill points by using his skill on them.
- Body: Crit damage
- Feet: Speed
- Sphere: HP or Defense
- Rope: Energy regeneration
Additionally, effect resistance can serve as a useful substat, aiding in resistance against crowd-control debuffs; however, the most critical substats remain speed and crit damage.
Team Compositions Featuring Sunday
Sunday shines as an essential Harmony character in teams featuring characters that benefit from frequent action, including Jing Yuan and Blade. For further synergy, pairing him with characters like Robin or Topaz, who boost follow-up attack damage, can significantly enhance performance.
- Jing Yuan or Blade
- Sunday
- Robin or Topaz
- Sustaining character such as Huohuo, Aventurine, or Lingsha
In essence, Sunday can integrate well with any primary DPS like Dr Ratio, Boothill, Argenti, or even Seele, rounding out various team strategies effectively.
