Summary
- New Honkai: Star Rail leak reveals synergy between characters Sunday and Fugue in upcoming Version 2.7.
- Sunday plays a supportive role with buffs like Bronya, while Fugue boosts Super Break damage for team compositions.
- Sunday and Fugue are anticipated five-star units, with potential for strong team synergy in the game.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak shows how well the recently announced characters, Sunday and Fugue, work when placed in the same party. Honkai: Star Rail's party system allows players to combine up to four different characters in one team composition, with each character typically filling a different role.
HoYoverse previously confirmed that the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.7 will feature two new playable units, Sunday and Fugue. Their respective splash arts confirmed that both characters will have a five-star rarity, indicating that their releases will be spread over two separate banner cycles.
Each update in Honkai: Star Rail includes a beta phase with new characters and their weapons. During these beta phases, HoYoverse often makes minor adjustments to balance new roster additions and ensure they fit the Honkai: Star Rail character meta. A recent post on the Honkai: Star Rail subreddit shows in-game footage from the ongoing 2.7 beta, revealing how well Sunday performs in the same team composition as Fugue and Boothill. Sunday has been one of the community’s most anticipated characters and has already made several in-game appearances. According to the leak, Sunday and Fugue may have strong synergy if paired with the right team members.
Honkai: Star Rail: Sunday and Fugue Kits Explained
Both new characters in Honkai: Star Rail will play supportive roles. Sunday follows the Path of Harmony, which typically includes characters who can apply multiple buffs to the entire team composition. One of a Harmony supports’ greatest assets is their flexibility, as they can fit almost any party type in the game. However, many comments claim that Sunday's kit still seems underwhelming, especially considering the hype surrounding this five-star unit.
Many describe Sunday as a slightly improved version of Honkai: Star Rail's Bronya, as his buffs can also affect summons. On the other hand, players suggest that Fugue may become a must-have character in the future. Her kit will make Fugue an ideal choice for team compositions that rely on Super Break, a mechanic that boosts Break damage and allows it to trigger multiple times once the opponent's Toughness is reduced.
According to the kit leaks so far, Fugue could have great synergy with several characters, including Firefly, Ruan Mei, Lingsha, and Boothill, who appeared in the leaked gameplay footage. As for Sunday, while he can be paired with almost any hypercarry in the game, many fans suspect his ideal teammates are yet to be released. It should be noted that HoYoverse still has a lot of time to make changes to the two upcoming characters, as Honkai: Star Rail update 2.7 is expected to be released around December 3.
