Best 5-star Light Cones for Sunday in Honkai Star Rail

1) A Grounded Ascent

Sunday has a unique kit, best used to improve the damage output of characters and their summons. As such, no other Light Cone can come close to A Grounded Ascent, his signature pick in Honkai Star Rail. Using the LC’s passive, the wearer can regenerate 6 Energy and provide a Hymn stack to a teammate.

The effect is triggered when the equipping character uses their Skill or Ultimate on an ally. Each Hymn stack will increase the unit's damage dealt by 15%. Furthermore, the wearer will recover a Skill Point after every two instances of Skill or Ultimate usage.

Sunday serves as a hardcore buffer for teams, and the Light Cone will only amplify his support potential.

2) But the Battle Isn’t Over

You might want to purchase the But the Battle Isn’t Over LC from the Starlight Exchange to build Sunday in Honkai Star Rail. As Bronya’s signature Light Cone, it comes loaded with various perks.

For starters, the LC increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 10% and generates a Skill Point after the character uses their Ultimate on an ally. This effect can be triggered after every two activations of the ability. When the wearer uses their Skill, the next ally taking action deals 30% more damage.

Sunday can clearly utilize the passive, given that he uses his Skill and Ultimate on teammates to empower their combat capability.

In the 4-star segment, Past and Future stands out as the best Light Cone for Sunday. You can purchase it from the Honkai Star Rail's Light Cone Manifest store in exchange for some Lucent Afterglow. Consider superimposing the equipment to enhance its passive effect.

The base version of the LC grants a 16% bonus damage to whichever ally takes action after the wearer. You would want to adjust the rotations in such a way that Sunday gets a turn before switching to a DPS.
