The main villain of the Penacony Trailblazing mission has taken hold of the hearts of Honkai Star Rail players, as the community has been waiting for ages to see the man who almost sent them into an eternal dream to become playable in the game. Hoyoverse has finally released the Sunday Drip Marketing, even though it would have been poetic to release it on a Sunday, confirming him for Honkai Star Rail 2.7, as was leaked previously. Here we have compiled every little detail and leak available on Sunday and put them together for all you future Sunday mains. So, read this post to learn more about Sunday’s release date, leaked kit, drip marketing, and much more in Honkai Star Rail.
HSR Sunday: Drip Marketing, Rarity, Path, and Element Type
Sunday has been confirmed with his latest Drip Marketing to be a 5-star rarity character of the Harmony path and of Imaginary element type. After the Harmony Trailblazer, Sunday is the first 5-star Imaginary Harmony unit added to the game. As a Harmony unit, we can expect him to be a support character, although there is very little information currently about his kit.
Honkai Star Rail players would already be familiar with Sunday from the Penacony trailblazing mission. He was one of the heads of the Oak Family and the organizer of the Charmony Festival. He orchestrated the revival of the Aeon of Order in Penacony, which the Nameless stopped with the help of Acheron, Black Swan, Firefly, Gallagher, and his own sister Robin.
There’s always a paradise that needs to be built. That vow is like the sun in the sky — perhaps I’ll melt and fall before reaching it… But some hardships I must endure. The dream of the Order has dissipated, yet there are still those who will not give up on their original intent – Sunday’s Drip Marketing
What Sunday’s future holds is still up in the air as he was last seen captured in prison when Jade from the IPC visited him and proposed a deal.
Honkai Star Rail JP Leaks Sunday Drip Marketing
You are likely wondering why Hoyoverse decided to release Sunday’s Drip Marketing early when the version Drip Marketing generally releases a couple of days before the prior version release. With Version 2.6 releasing on October 22, the 2.7 Drip Marketing was expected to release on 14 or 15th October. However, Honkai Star Rail JP YouTube channel mistakenly posted the Sunday drip marketing early in the morning today and later deleted it. The players had already started sharing Sunday’s Drip Marketing, forcing Hoyoverse to release it early.
HSR Sunday Release Date
Sunday has been confirmed to become playable in the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 version, which will release around December 1, 2024, if we take into account the standard 42-day version cycle from Honkai Star Rail. If the Drip Marketing order is also taken into account, Sunday will likely feature in the first phase of the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 version, although this is more of a calculated guess. Other than that, Tingyun’s new 5-star form ‘Fugue’ will feature alongside Sunday in the upcoming Honkai Star Rail 2.7 version, so it would likely be a busy version for HSR players.
HSR Sunday Leaked Base Stats
Leaked information via HomDGcat reveals a lot of information about his kit, base stats, and signature Light Cone. These are the leaked base stats of Sunday in HSR:
Rarity 5-star Base HP 1252 Base Attack 640 Base Defense 534 Speed 96 Taunt 100 Max Energy 130 Path Harmony Element (Damage Type) Imaginary
Honkai Star Rail Sunday Leaked Kit
With the release of HSR 2.7 beta, we finally have reliable leaks about Sunday’s kit with complete information. The latest version 3 beta leaks have made changes for Sunday’s T1 trace, Ultimate, Skill, Talent, and Technique.
- Basic Attack (Gleaming Admonition): Deals Imaginary Damage equal to 100% of Sunday’s Attack to one enemy.
- Skill (Benison of Paper and Rites): Makes one ally and their summon to immediately take action, increasing their Damage dealt by 40%. If the ally has a summon, their damage additionally increases by another 40%, lasting for 2 turns. If the Skill is used on the ‘Beatified’ ally, Sunday recovers 1 Skill point. When used on an ally following the path of Harmony, the immediate action effect cannot be triggered.
- Ultimate (Ode to Caress and Cicatrix): Regenerates 20% of Max Energy for one targeted ally and turns the target and their summon into “The Beatified”. In this state, their Crit Damage increases by an amount equal to 30% of Sunday’s Crit Damage plus 12%. At the start of each of Sunday’s turn, reduces the duration of the “Beatified” state by 1 turn, lasting for 3 turns total. This only takes effect on the most recent target of the Ultimate, and excludes Sunday himself. This effect is dispelled when Sunday is downed.
- Talent (The Sorrowing Body): Increases the Crit Rate by 20% for the ally chosen by his Skill, lasting for 3 turns.
- Technique: The first time Sunday uses an ability on an ally in the next battle, the ally’s damage dealt is increased by 50% for 2 turns.
- Trace 1 (Haven in Palm): If Ultimate regenerates less than 40 energy for the ally, it increases the energy regenerated to 40.
- Trace 2 (Exalted Sweep): Sunday regenerates 25 energy after entering battle.
- Trace 3 (Rest Day’s Longing): Using Sunday’s Skill doesn’t consume Skill Points, and this effect can trigger after every 2 turns.
- Bonus Stats: 37.3% Crit Damage, 18% Effect Resistance, 12.5% Defense
The most notable part about this kit leak is the ability to Action Forward an ally and their summon at the same time while boosting their damage output. Since Bronya, Sunday will be the first Harmony character to do a 100% action forward with Skill. Other than that, his Ultimate also regenerates energy for one ally and increases their Crit Damage. Sunday’s talent also increases the Crit Rate of the ally chosen by the Skill, making him a complete support for Hypercarry units.
Also, Sunday’s newly updated Trace 1 Skill will allow him to regenerate at least 40 energy for an ally using his Ultimate, which is quite good.
HSR Sunday Leaked Signature Light Cone: A Grounded Ascent
A Grounded Ascent is the leaked signature Light Cone for Sunday. Here are the leaked base stats and effects of Sunday’s Signature Light Cone:
Rarity 5-star Base HP 1164 Base Attack 476 Base Defense 529 Path Harmony Effect After the wearer uses Skill or Ultimate on one ally character, the wearer regenerates 6 (8 at S5) Energy and the ability’s target receives 1 stack of “Hymn” for 3 turns, stacking up to 3 times. Each stack increases its wearer’s Damage dealt by 15% (24% at S5). Additionally, recovers 1 Skill Point after every 2 instances of Skill or Ultimate the wearer used on one ally character.
Honkai Star Rail Sunday Leaked Eidolons
We also have complete information on Sunday’s Eidolons from the HSR 2.7 beta leaks via HomDGcat. The 2.7 version 3 beta leaks have updated his Eidolons, changing his E1, E2 and slightly updating his E6.
- E1 (Millennium’s Quietus): When using skill, increases the targeted ally ignores 20% of enemy Defense and Summons ignore 40% of enemy defense when dealing damage for 2 turns.
- E2 (Faith Outstrips Frailty): Recovers 2 Skill points after the first use of Sunday’s Ultimate. Increases the damage dealt by the ‘Beatified’ by 30%.
- E3 (Hermitage of Thorns): Ultimate Level + 2 and Basic Attack Level + 1.
- E4 (Sculpture’s Preamble): Regenerates 8 energy at the start of the turn.
- E5 (Paper Raft in Silver Bay): Skill Level + 2 and Talent Level + 2.
- E6 (Dawn of Sidereal Cacophony): The Talent’s Crit Rate boost effect becomes stackable (max 3 stacks) and the Talent’s duration increases by 1 turn. When Sunday uses Ultimate, he also applies the Talent’s Crit Rate boost effect to the target. When the talent’s Crit Rate boost takes effect and the target’s Crit Rate exceeds 100%, every 1% of excess Crit Rate is converted to 2% Crit Damage.
So, that’s everything we currently know about Sunday’s release date and leaked kit. Give us your opinion on his leaked kit, whether you think it’s accurate or not, and what you think about it. Don’t forget to share your thoughts on Sunday’s drip marketing and the possibility of him featuring alongside the new Tingyun (Fugue) in version 2.7.
