5 characters who can make the most of Sunday's kit in Honkai Star Rail
Sunday's Kit overview
Let's first look at Sunday's kit to understand which characters can synergize well with him. Sunday's Skill and Ultimate target and advance one particular ally and their summon, granting them both Crit Rate and Crit DMG buffs. Additionally, Sunday's technique provides a partywide damage boost.
Based on his kit leaks, Sunday is a support character who can buff fellow teammates as well as their summons. This means that any character with a summon, such as Jing Yuan and Lingsha, can greatly benefit from Sunday's buffs. Sunday's Skill gives an additional 20% boost to allies with a summon on the field, which can further increase these characters' damage output.
Which characters can utilize Sunday's buffs?
Currently, characters who have summons can utilize Sunday's kit to the fullest. Other hypercarry DPS characters can also make use of Sunday's buffs. Leaks have suggested that the upcoming region (starting from patch 3.0) will focus on characters with summons, which means Sunday's utility will increase a lot in the future.
For the time being, these are the characters who will benefit the most from Sunday and his buffs:
1) Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord is a summon, which means he can take full advantage of the boosts Sunday's Skill will provide. Jing Yuan combined with Lightning Lord is already a great combo, and Sunday's addition to the mix will increase their damage potential even further.
2) Topaz
While Topaz and Numby have a separate team in the FUA meta, Topaz can still be added to any team with Sunday because of the latter's summon buffs. Sunday can keep advancing Topaz and Numby, meaning you can easily play Topaz as a hypercarry.
3) Lingsha
A main DPS Lingsha can make great use of Sunday's addition to the team. Of course, that is not Lingsha's main role, since she is more suited to the Break meta than the Crit meta. However, if you like playing Lingsha as a Crit DPS unit, Sunday can boost her and her summon Fuyuan's overall damage potential.
4) Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae
Since Sunday is a great hypercarry buffer, Imbibitor Lunae can utilize his boosts well. While Imbibitor Lunae does not have a summon, he can still benefit from Sunday's immediate action advance along with the Crit Rate and Crit DMG buffs. You can add Sparkle to this team for an even greater damage boost for Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae.
5) Jingliu
Jingliu is another hypercarry character who can benefit from Sunday's addition to the team. Sunday's kit leaks hint at Sunday being a pretty SP-friendly character, which is very important for Jingliu. Jingliu doesn't have a summon either, but she can make good use of the rest of Sunday's boosts.
Keep in mind that these are only the currently available characters that can make the best use of Sunday and everything his kit has to offer. As per leaks, Sunday is mainly a summon support, meaning his value will increase greatly when the Summon meta is established in future patches.
