Should you pull Sunday?

A near-mandatory pull if you run a summon DPS (Jing Yuan, Aglaea) or any crit-based single-target carry. Skip him if your roster is all break or wide-AoE DPS.

Pros
  • 100% Action Advance for both carry and summon
  • Massive CRIT DMG buff plus energy refund
  • Best-in-slot support for summon DPS
  • Easy to build, no rare stats needed
Cons
  • Buffs only ONE ally, weak in wide AoE
  • Ult-reliant, needs steady energy
  • Wants an energy cone/rope to peak
How to play

Each cycle: Skill the carry to Advance Forward both the unit and its summon and boost their DMG; keep Ultimate at 100% uptime to refund energy and hand out CRIT DMG scaled off Sunday's own CRIT DMG. Tune SPD to act just before your carry.

Eidolons
How far to invest, which milestones matter

E0 (E1 và E2 rất mạnh nếu dư nguyên liệu) — E0 is fully complete. E1 (DEF ignore) and E2 are meaningful upgrades; E6 grants the ally +60% CRIT Rate, huge but not required.

E1
Millennium's Quietus★★★★☆
When Sunday uses Skill, the target character can ignore 16% of enemy target's DEF to deal DMG and their summon can ignore 40% of enemy target's DEF to deal DMG, lasting for 2 turn(s).
Grants the Skill target and their summon significant DEF PEN for 2 turns, meaningfully boosting real damage output.
E2
Faith Outstrips Frailty★★★★★
After the first use of Ultimate, recovers 2 Skill Point(s). The DMG dealt by "The Beatified" increases by 30%.
Refunds 2 Skill Points after the first Ultimate use and adds 30% more DMG to 'The Beatified', solving SP economy while providing a major damage boost.
E3
Hermitage of Thorns★★☆☆☆
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
Only levels up Ultimate and Basic ATK with no new effect, so its value is low.
E4
Sculpture's Preamble★★★☆☆
When the turn starts, regenerates 8 Energy.
Regenerates an extra 8 Energy at the start of each turn, moderately helping Sunday reach Ultimate more often.
E5
Paper Raft in Silver Bay★★☆☆☆
Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Only levels up Skill and Talent with no new effect, so its value is low.
E6
Dawn of Sidereal Cacophony★★★★★
The Talent's CRIT Rate boost effect becomes stackable up to 3 time(s), and the Talent's duration increases by 1 turn(s). When Sunday uses Ultimate, can also apply 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 increases CRIT DMG by 2%.
The Talent's CRIT Rate boost becomes stackable up to 3 times with +1 turn duration, and Ultimate can also apply it, dramatically transforming Sunday's team-wide buffing power.

Skills & Traces
What to level first — tap each skill for details
Skill Leveling Priority
Ultimate ★★★★★ Ultimate turns the ally into "The Beatified" and grants a large CRIT DMG boost, making it Sunday's core power source that should be maxed early.
Skill ★★★★★ Skill grants an ally an immediate action and a DMG boost (even more with a summon target), making it the main buff tool used every turn.
Talent ★★★★☆ Talent grants CRIT Rate to the Skill's target, directly complementing the Ultimate's CRIT DMG buff, so it should be leveled close to max.
Basic ATK ★☆☆☆☆ Sunday deals almost no meaningful damage herself, so Basic ATK is only a fallback when out of Skill Points and remains the lowest priority.
Trace priority: A4 = A2 > A6 Eidolon priority: E6 > E2 > E1 > E4 > E3 = E5

How to read this build page

Every character build page has these parts: recommended Light Cone/Relic sets and stat table, a Trace/skill leveling order, Eidolon milestones worth considering, and a reference SPD threshold. Read them in that order — gear tells you "what to use", Traces tell you "what to level first", Eidolon tells you "is it worth pulling dupes", SPD tells you "how fast you need to be to keep the rotation on time". The section below explains how to read each part and applies the same way to every character on the site — check the exact numbers in the table above this section, since community sources sometimes differ by a few points.

Why the Light Cone and Relic picks make sense

Most characters have a "signature" Light Cone built for their exact role, plus a few cheaper substitutes from the standard banner or easy-to-get 3-4★ cones. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most characters keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, typically losing somewhere between a few percent and roughly a fifth of total damage depending on the setup, per most public comparisons.

  • Relic sets (2pc+2pc or 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that character's role (single-target DPS, AoE, shield/healing support, Break damage, and so on).
  • Main stats per slot (Body/Feet/Sphere/Rope) and substats follow a priority that changes by role: DPS roles usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Break-focused roles prioritize Break Effect; support/healing roles often value Effect Hit/RES or Outgoing Healing over pure CRIT.

These weights differ per character and can shift slightly between ranking sources — follow the exact priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.

Trace/skill leveling order by role (a general guideline, not a fixed rule)

There's no single order that's correct for every character, and community sources sometimes disagree depending on the team the character is used in — but the general pattern by role is:

  • DPS: level whichever skill (Skill or Ultimate) carries most of the damage for that character first, with Basic ATK usually last if it isn't the main damage source.
  • Support/Buffer: prioritize Traces that boost buff strength or the skill that applies the effect over Basic ATK, since this role's value comes from lifting the team rather than personal damage.
  • Healer/Shielder: prioritize the main healing or shield skill first, since that is the reason the team runs this character.
  • Break/CC: prioritize whichever skill contributes the most Toughness Damage, since the Break/Weakness Break window is where the team dumps damage.

Major Traces unlock at fixed ascension levels in-game, not by choice — but which one to level first (when resources are limited) should follow the role priority above. Since the exact order can differ between ranking sources, check the specific recommendation in the table above for this character.

Eidolons: how far E0 gets you, and which milestone is worth considering

General rule: most characters at E0 (no duplicates) already handle most content, even 5-star characters. Eidolons are a duplicate-fueled upgrade system — higher levels cost more resources for a smaller power gain, and the actual gain varies a lot per character (some barely change role at E0, others shift how they're played at a specific level). The milestones most often cited by the community tend to sit at E1, E2, or E6 depending on the character — but none of these are required to clear the game's content. Check the Eidolon section in the table above for this character's specific milestone and gain; if sources disagree on how to rate a milestone, trust the in-game effect description over a pre-set percentage number.

How to think about SPD breakpoints

SPD (Speed) controls how often a character acts in the turn order — higher SPD means denser actions, and for some roles (especially support/healing that need to buff or heal before the team gets hit) hitting the right SPD "breakpoint" matters more than the raw SPD number. Values like 101 or 134 SPD are often cited as community-common breakpoints (letting a character act again before or after a specific point in certain team setups) — this is crowd-verified action-gauge math, not an official fixed number the game states for every situation. The right breakpoint also depends on the team and allies' SPD, so treat the SPD suggestion in the table above as a starting point to adjust from, not a mandatory target.
