Sunday Build Guide
Quick Summary
You can use this Build Guide to quickly set up Sunday for top performance in Honkai: Star Rail V3.4. Sunday stands out as a support who boosts single-target damage, controls action order, and fits into many team setups. You do not need his signature light cone to make him work well, which gives you more flexibility when building your team.
Here is a table that shows how Sunday compares to other support characters:
Advantage |
Description |
---|---|
Best Light Cone |
A Grounded Ascent boosts Energy and DMG output for your allies. |
SP Recovery |
Sunday recovers a skill point every two uses of his Skill or Ultimate. |
Alternative Options |
Bronya's But the Battle Isn't Over and Sparkle's Earthly Escapade also work. |
Versatile 4-star |
Past and Future and Planetary Rendezvous offer good synergy and DMG boosts. |
Non-Essential BIS |
Sunday does not rely on his signature light cone, so you have more options. |
You should focus on speed and crit stats when following this Build Guide. For most teams, 120 speed is easy to reach. If you want your DPS to act twice in the first cycle, aim for 134 speed. Some players push to 161 speed for extra actions, but this can lower your damage stats.
Tip: Equip the 4-piece Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal relic set to boost Sunday’s speed and crit DMG buffs. This set works well with his kit and helps your team act faster.
For light cones, A Grounded Ascent is the best choice. You can also use Past and Future or Planetary Rendezvous if you want a 4-star option. Sunday’s Build Guide does not force you to use only one light cone, so you can adjust based on what you have.
When building Sunday, avoid the common mistake of focusing only on his lore or story themes. Some players misunderstand his role and think he needs to be locked into a certain playstyle. Instead, focus on his action advancement and crit buffs, which scale well with investment and team synergy.
Is Sunday Worth It?
You may wonder if Sunday is worth pulling for or building. This Build Guide helps you decide by looking at his strengths and team value.
Sunday fits well in both high-end and free-to-play teams. He works best with characters who benefit from crit buffs and action control. Here are some strong team examples:

Optimization Tips
You can farm Sunday’s optimal relic sets in several Cavern of Corrosion locations. Here are some efficient farming strategies:
-
Path of Jabbing Punch Cavern: Good for building Physical DPS relics. You can farm here if you also want to gear up Silverwolf.
-
Path of Holy Hymn: Drops lightning and defense sets. Use this if you need relics for shielders, but watch your stamina.
-
Knight of Purity Palace: Best for shielders who need defense relics.
-
Path of Conflagration: Drops Fire and Imaginary sets. Useful if you want to build fire DPS characters like Himeko or Hook.
You should plan your stamina use and target the Cavern that gives you the relics you need for both Sunday and your other characters. This approach saves time and resources. The Build Guide recommends focusing on Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal first, then filling gaps with other sets as needed.
Note: Upgrade relics with high Crit Damage and Speed sub stats. These will give you the best results for Sunday’s support role.
Light Cones
Top Choices
You want to pick the best light cones to boost Sunday’s support power. Several top-performing light cones stand out in Honkai: Star Rail V3.4. These choices help Sunday increase your team’s damage and action control. Here is a table showing the top light cones for Sunday:
Rank |
Light Cone Name |
Path |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 |
A Thankless Coronation |
Destruction |
A powerful light cone for Destruction path characters. |
2 |
Thus Burns the Dawn |
Destruction |
Boosts damage after using an Ultimate. |
3 |
A Trail of Bygone Blood |
Destruction |
Best for Skill and Ultimate damage dealers. |
4 |
See You at the End |
Hunt |
Offers a steady boost to Crit Damage and Skill damage. |
You can use "A Thankless Coronation" for the highest boost if you follow the Destruction path. "Thus Burns the Dawn" and "A Trail of Bygone Blood" also work well, especially if you want to focus on Skill and Ultimate damage. "See You at the End" gives a reliable Crit Damage increase.
Tip: Choose a light cone that matches your team’s main damage style for the best results.
F2P & Budget
You do not need premium light cones to make Sunday shine. Free-to-play and budget options can give you strong results. "Past and Future" stands out as the best free-to-play choice. When you use Sunday’s Skill, this light cone gives your allies a 16% damage boost. If you upgrade it to Superimposition 5, the bonus rises to 32%. This makes it very effective for most teams.
Other good 4-star options include "Carve the Moon," "Weave the Clouds," and "Planetary Rendezvous." Each offers helpful buffs, but "Past and Future" remains the top pick for budget players. "The Seriousness of Breakfast" also provides a steady damage bonus and can sometimes outperform premium options.
You can achieve strong performance with these budget light cones. You do not have to spend money to see Sunday’s full potential.
What to Avoid
You should avoid light cones that do not boost Crit Damage, Skill damage, or team buffs. Some light cones only help basic attacks or do not match Sunday’s support role. Stay away from light cones that focus on self-healing or defense, as these do not help Sunday’s main job.
Note: Always check if a light cone’s effect matches Sunday’s skills. Picking the wrong one can lower your team’s damage and slow your progress.

Traces
Skill Priority
You want to get the most out of Sunday, so you should focus on upgrading his traces in the right order. Traces are special upgrades that make Sunday’s abilities stronger. If you pick the best order, you will see a big boost in your team’s power.
Here is a table that shows which trace upgrades give you the biggest power spikes for Sunday:
Priority Level |
Trace Upgrade |
---|---|
1 |
Skill |
2 |
Ultimate |
3 |
Technique |
4 |
Basic ATK |
You should start with Sunday’s Skill. This trace gives your team the best buffs and action control. Upgrading the Skill first lets you boost your main damage dealer’s Crit Rate and action speed. After that, you should work on Sunday’s Ultimate. This upgrade gives your team more energy and Crit Damage, which helps in tough fights. The Technique comes next. It helps you set up battles and gives your team an early advantage. You can leave Basic ATK for last. It does not add much to Sunday’s main role as a support.
Tip: Always check your materials before upgrading traces. Focus on Skill and Ultimate first for the best results.
Key Upgrades
You can make Sunday much stronger by picking the right key upgrades. When you level up his Skill, you increase the Crit Rate and action advance for your allies. This makes your main DPS hit harder and act faster. Upgrading the Ultimate gives your team more energy and a bigger Crit Damage boost. These two upgrades work together to help your team win more battles.
You should also look at Sunday’s bonus abilities. Some of these give extra Crit Damage or energy regeneration. If you have extra materials, unlock these bonus abilities to make Sunday even better. Remember, you do not need to max out every trace right away. Focus on the most important ones first, then upgrade the rest as you get more resources.
Note: Upgrading the right traces will help Sunday support your team in both early and late game content.

Eidolons
Value
Eidolons give Sunday extra power and new effects. Each Eidolon changes how Sunday helps your team. You can make Sunday much stronger by unlocking the right Eidolons. Some Eidolons boost damage, while others add special effects that work well with certain team setups.
-
Tribbie's E1 stands out as the most valuable Eidolon in Amphoreus. When you unlock this, Sunday deals True Damage equal to 24% of an ally’s total damage. This attack targets the enemy with the highest Max HP. You will see the best results when your team uses attacks that hit many enemies at once. If you use characters with AoE (area of effect) skills, this Eidolon becomes even better. Sunday’s E1 helps your team finish tough fights faster and makes him a top pick for many team comps.
Note: Eidolons that boost True Damage or work with AoE attacks can change how you build your team. Try pairing Sunday with AoE damage dealers for the biggest impact.
Best Picks
You want to know which Eidolons are worth your resources. Top players and the community agree on the best choices for Sunday. Here is a list of the best Eidolons to invest in:

Faith Outstrips Frailty (E2) – This Eidolon gives a strong boost to Sunday’s effectiveness. Many players recommend it for better team results.
