Sunday is not just a day of rest anymore. In Honkai Star Rail, Sunday’s kit is a force to be reckoned with.
This 5-star Halovian is revolutionizing the game’s meta, particularly for those characters who possess summons in their kits.
In this guide, we’ll look closer into Sunday’s kit and show you how to master his abilities, ultimately leading you to victory in battles.
How Sunday’s kit fits the summon meta in Honkai Star Rail 3.0
Sunday, a 5-star Imaginary character following the path of Harmony, revolutionizes the summon meta in Honkai Star Rail. His kit is specifically designed to enhance the performance of characters who rely on summons to deal damage.
A key ability in Sunday’s kit is Benison of Paper and Rites. This skill allows an ally and their summon to immediately take action, effectively granting them an extra turn. This mechanic is particularly effective for summon-based characters, as it allows their summons to attack more frequently, significantly boosting their overall damage output.
For example, when paired with a summon-based DPS like Jing Yuan, Sunday can significantly boost the overall damage dealt by the general.
By using his skill, Sunday can grant Jing Yuan and his Lightning-Lord an extra turn. This means that the Lightning-Lord can attack twice in a single round, doubling its damage potential. Additionally, Sunday’s other abilities, such as increasing crit rate and regenerating energy, further amplify Jing Yuan’s damage output.
With the introduction of the Remembrance path in Honkai Star Rail 3.0, characters like Aglaea and the Trailblazer, who summon powerful companions, have joined the game. This makes Sunday even more valuable, as his ability to empower summons aligns perfectly with the new meta.
Beyond his core ability, Sunday offers additional support capabilities. He can regenerate energy, cleanse debuffs, and boost crit damage, making him a versatile support unit for various team compositions.

| TYPE | SKILL NAME | DESCRIPTION OF SUNDAY’S KIT |
| Basic attack | Gleaming Admonition | Deals Imaginary damage to a single enemy. |
| Skill | Benison of Paper and Rites | Causes one designated ally character and their summon to immediately take action, and increases their damage dealt. If the target has a summon, then the damage boost effect caused additionally increases, lasting for a certain number of turns. Recovers one skill point after using skill on target with “The Beatified.” When Sunday uses this skill on characters following the path of Harmony, they are not able to immediately take action. |
| Ultimate | Ode to Caress and Cicatrix | Regenerates a certain amount of energy for one designated ally character based on their max energy and turns the target and their summon into “The Beatified.” Increases crit damage of “The Beatified.” At the start of each of Sunday’s turns, reduces “The Beatified” state by one for three turns. This only takes effect on the latest target of Sunday’s ultimate, excluding himself. When Sunday is downed, “The Beatified” will be dispelled. |
| Talent | The Sorrowing Body | When using skill, increases the target’s crit rate, lasting for a certain number of turns. |
| Technique | The Glorious Mysteries | The first time Sunday uses an ability on an ally target in the next battle, the target’s damage dealt increases for a certain number of turns. |
