Will Sunday be Overpowered? Yes, unless he is free, which is highly unlikely but is currently being speculated to be. Sunday will be released in the first half of patch two point seven because his official drip marketing was revealed first. From the official drip marketing for Sunday, we know that he is an imaginary character following the path of harmony, and from previous harmony character releases, we can be confident that Sunday will be metashifting and overpowered. Ruan Mei introduced break teams, Robin massively buffed follow-up attack teams, and Sparkle buffed skill point hungry teams. Sunday is speculated to be a better Sparkle. Sparkle is already really good, so Sunday being better than her means that he will be overpowered and powercreep Sparkle. Only Sunday’s Basic Attack performs an attack; his Skill and Ultimate support allies. Sunday’s ultimate will likely be a single target buff to allies and may affect summons too. The buff will likely be extra damage percent, critical damage, and energy. Additionally, the advance action on his skill will probably affect summons too. Sunday’s technique is speculated to be a field technique similar to Ruan Mei's, with massive black wings emitting flames. His skill is speculated to feature seven parts of action advances, with his total action advance summing up to over fifty percent, but his action advance has some kind of restriction. Action advance is really overpowered; some of the best harmony characters have action advance, including Robin, Bronya, and Sparkle. Extra energy overflow seems like it can be converted into energy or Skill Points. This overflow mechanic will fix the only downside of skill-point-hungry characters like Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, and Qingque. Extra energy is also a game changer for characters who rely on their ultimate, like Argenti and Yunli. Sunday's teammates will likely include Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, Huohuo, Argenti, Robin, and Yunli. Sunday is speculated to be a support specifically for summon characters who will be released following patch three point zero from the new planet Amphoreus, a possible Greek-themed world. Sunday is speculated to be the Ruan Mei of summon characters, which sounds very overpowered because Ruan Mei is an essential part of the super break team. If Sunday is comparable to Ruan Mei, then summon characters and the summon mechanic will be the next big meta. There is also speculation that there will not be another new Harmony character in the near future or even all of patch three’s lifecycle. Sunday will likely be the main summon buffer. Summon characters currently in Honkai Star Rail include Lingsha, Jing Yuan, and Topaz and Numby. Sunday’s Five-Star Signature Lightcone is speculated to have the effect that after Sunday uses Skill or Ultimate on one target, regenerates an unknown amount of energy for Sunday immediately, and increases the target's damage dealt by an unknown percentage for an unknown amount of turns stacking up to an unknown time. After this effect has triggered an unknown amount of times, one skill point will be recovered. Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal will be Sunday’s best in slot relic set. Its two-piece set effect is to increase speed by six percent. Its four-piece set effect is that when using Skill or Ultimate on one ally target, increases the ability target's critical damage by eighteen percent, lasting for two turns. This effect can stack up to two times. Sunday will likely mainly be a summon buffer; however, Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal will make it so that Sunday is actually a general Harmony support buffer as the set provides critical damage increase to allies. Sunday’s ultimate animation seems to be him chained up and then Xipe provides a buff to teammates. There will be two Myriad Celestia trailers, one for Sunday and one for Fugue. There will also be an animation trailer. Sunday’s official drip marketing says: 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. The traveler whose wings were clipped... whereto shall his footsteps lead? Mr. Reca is a four-star character who may be released in patch two point seven. He will probably be on Fugue’s banner to incentivize people to pull on her banner since Sunday is already the most anticipated character release.
