Is Sunday worth pulling in Honkai Star Rail 2.7?

Sunday is an upcoming 5-star Harmony character scheduled for the first half of the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 patch. Right after the servers become live, players can roll for him using Stellar Jades/Star Rail Special Passes. His release in the turn-based space odyssey from HoYoverse will be revolutionary for the meta and upcoming Remembrance characters, such as Aglaea. That said, there are certain factors that make him worth pulling in version 2.7.

In this article, we will discuss whether Sunday is worth pulling or not in Honkai Star Rail version 2.7 and analyze his abilities.

Brief summary of Sunday’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail

Listed below are Sunday’s abilities:

• Basic ATK: Sunday attacks an adversary and deals Imaginary damage.
• Skill: Upon activation, Sunday allows the targeted ally of this ability and their summon to take their turn immediately and boosts their damage simultaneously. If the allied character has a summon, the latter’s outgoing damage gets an extra boost for two turns. Moreover, if Sunday uses his skill on “The Beatified” ally, he recovers a Skill Point.
• Ultimate: Sunday replenishes Energy for the targeted ally of this ability and allows the character and their summon to enter “The Beatified” state. Units in this state will have their CRIT DMG boosted for three turns.
• Passive Talent: When Sunday uses his skill, the targeted ally receives an additional CRIT Rate boost.
• Technique: When Sunday uses a skill on an ally after using this ability, the targeted ally receives a damage boost for two turns.

Sunday’s pull value in Honkai Star Rail

Judging by the Path that Sunday is following, he will work as a designated buffer for any team he is placed in. His abilities are made and tuned to assist characters with summons, such as Jing Yuan.

Since there are not many characters in this turn-based gacha title from HoYoverse, players may think he's not worth pulling in version 2.7. However, this notion would be wrong, as the devs did the same with Ruan Mei and released her when the BE teams were not meta. As a result, most players who didn’t know Ruan Mei’s potential skipped her.

Currently, players can use whoever they like with Sunday and later start building the perfect Remembrance/summon team when Amphoreus releases.

Should you consider pulling Sunday in Honkai Star Rail version 2.7?

Yes, you should consider pulling Sunday in Honkai Star Rail version 2.7, especially if you want to build a meta-defining Remembrance team. Apart from that, his CRIT buffs are exceptional and can benefit most of the characters, excluding the BE units. Hence, you can easily place him in any hypercarry team compositions in which the DPS units' abilities scale with CRIT stats.

Moreover, Sunday will have exceptional synergy with Topaz since her Numby is counted as a summon. Paired with the former’s Energy-replenishing abilities, Topaz can simultaneously proc Numby. Similarly, they can be paired with Jing Yuan since his Lightning Lord is also a summon.
