Should You Pull For Fugue Or Sunday In Honkai: Star Rail?

As a seasoned player of Honkai: Star Rail, I’ve always found myself intrigued by the strategic depth that each new character brings to the game. The upcoming limited event banner characters, Fugue and Sunday, are no exception. Both characters offer unique abilities that can significantly impact the meta, but deciding which one to pull for is a tough call.

In the game Honkai: Star Rail, it’s tradition for a patch preceding a major update to introduce a duo of potent characters. At least one of these characters tends to significantly impact the gameplay dynamics, or “meta,” during the upcoming content year. Update 2.7 follows suit by introducing a character that strengthens one of the existing meta configurations and another who could shape the landscape for the 3.0 content release.

As a dedicated fan, deciding between drawing Fugue, the formidable Super Break unit, and Sunday, one of the most potent Harmony characters we’ve encountered so far, especially with the upcoming 3.0 mechanic enhancement in mind, is no easy task. However, after delving into this guide, I’m confident you’ll have a clearer picture of which character suits your gameplay style best.

Why You Should Pull For Sunday

On the limited event banner for version 2.7, the first character introduced is named Sunday. This character hails from Harmony and excels in offensive actions and damage amplification, similar to Bronya if you recognize her abilities.

In essence, the essential part of Sunday’s equipment is his Skill, which swiftly confers upon another character on your team the ability to take immediate action, effectively advancing their turn to immediately follow Sunday’s. Additionally, this skill boosts their damage output by a certain amount.

On Sundays, a particular team is chosen and bestowed as “The Empowered,” boosting their energy reserves and increasing their critical damage output.

The Sunday Difference

The special quality of Sunday lies in his ability to influence a character’s summoned entities, as well as the entities connected to them that function independently within the action sequence. This is similar to Jing Yuan’s Lightning Lord and Topaz’s Numby. These associated units are subject to Sunday’s unique skills.

In the upcoming 3.0 storyline set on Amphoreus, summons play a crucial role as they are the primary ability for characters following the Path of Remembrance, a novel addition to the game in version 3.0.

Summons, known as “memosprites” in Star Rail, possess distinct skills and fulfill various functions. Moreover, they can be influenced by the primary character’s abilities such as Aventurine’s protective shields.

Essentially, Sunday serves not just as a premium Support character for units launched prior to version 3.0, but he’s also expected to significantly boost many characters introduced during the 3.0 content period, such as the Remembrance Path Trailblazer, who will debut alongside the 3.0 update itself.

For Sunday, there are two key factors to keep in mind as we approach it. The first is strategically positioning yourself against a different competition known as the Summon meta. Since Sunday might reappear during the 3.0 update, having him on your team early could greatly enhance Amphoreus’s development and character playability, similar to Ruan Mei before version 2.0.

Why You Should Pull For Fugue

The revitalized version of Tingyun, known as Fugue, is a Fire Nihility character who serves as a link between Support roles and sub-DPS. Essentially, she functions as the second Super Break Support unit, serving as an alternative or potential upgrade to the Harmony Trailblazer.

With Fugue, a premium 5-star character, you’ll find extra functionality that isn’t included in the complimentary Trailblazer kit. Instead of requiring an ability to activate Super Break, Fugue’s presence on the field causes all units to inflict Super Break damage due to the Cloudflame Luster state they possess.

Applying Fugue’s ability triggers the Foxian Prayer, which boosts the Break Effect of the selected unit and amplifies its basic attack power. Additionally, it provides the designated unit with an opportunity to lower the defense of the targeted enemies. In terms of her ultimate skill, Fugue bypasses the Weakness type entirely, reducing the target’s Toughness regardless of its current state.

The Fugue Difference

“Fugue’s kit provides a unique advantage, as it allows any game unit to function as a Break character. This means Fugue can collaborate effectively with conventional DPS units such as Acheron or Dr. Ratio, and also boost units like Firefly and Rappa.

There’s also Remembrance Trailblazer to consider. If the new Path for the main character is as good as the one from Penacony, it can take up a spot on new or established teams, removing the Trailblazer from otherwise essential positions.

Fugue remedies that situation while adding additional utility and ease of access to Super Break and Weakness Break, which are not present in the Harmony Trailblazer.

As a devoted fan, my decision to back Fugue hinges on two crucial aspects. Firstly, am I eager to expand the roster of teams and DPS units that can boast the Super Break capabilities? Secondly, do I wish to ensure the longevity of these teams by safeguarding them from obsolescence due to emerging mechanics? Fugue offers solutions for both these requirements.

Pull For Characters You Like

Additionally, it’s worth noting that choosing a character isn’t solely based on gameplay considerations. If you’re drawn to their appearance, playstyle, or narrative, opt for them due to personal preferences rather than anticipating changes in the optimization of endgame content.

Supporting a favorite character can lead to an exciting journey, as it may result in the character becoming increasingly valuable or influential over time. For example, Jiaoqiu initially didn’t receive high praise upon his debut, but as new characters entered the scene, he grew in popularity and became a more sought-after choice.

Ultimately, the team you support in Honkai: Star Rail is a personal choice that relies on your Stellar Jade resources, your willingness to invest real money for additional pulls, and most significantly, how much fun you derive from playing the game. The decision is yours, as it should be, based on your unique gaming experience.
