Sunday Best Weapon & Artifacts for 2026

Best Weapon for Sunday in 2026

A Grounded Ascent (signature) is the best-in-slot weapon for Sunday. This weapon maximizes their damage output by synergizing with Imaginary damage and their kit mechanics. It provides the optimal stat balance — whether that is ER for burst uptime, CRIT for raw damage, or EM for reaction teams.

F2P Weapon Option

Past and Future (R5) is a strong alternative that performs well without spending primogems on the weapon banner. It provides competitive damage especially at refinement 5. For budget players, this weapon lets Sunday clear most content without sacrificing too much damage — the gap between Past and Future (R5) and A Grounded Ascent (signature) is usually manageable in endgame content.

Best Artifact Set for Sunday in 2026

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace (4pc) / Broken Keel (Planar) is the recommended set. This set provides the best balance of damage and utility for Sunday in most team compositions. The 4-piece set bonus works directly with their kit to amplify damage, while the 2-piece bonus covers their stat requirements early on.

Stats Priority

• Substats: Speed > CRIT DMG > Energy Regen > ATK%
• Main Stats: Speed / CRIT DMG / Energy Regen

Getting the right main stats is the most important step — a correct main stat with bad substats will always outperform the wrong main stat. Once your main stats are correct, focus on improving substat rolls to optimize Sunday's damage further.

Rotation Guide

Skill to advance carry + summon -> Ultimate to designate The Beatified (CRIT DMG/Energy) -> Basic.

Practicing this rotation is essential. Sunday relies on proper ability ordering to snapshot buffs, maintain uptime, and maximize their damage window. Watch your energy gauge and swap back to supports before Sunday's buff window expires.

Common Mistakes When Building This Character

• Using wrong main stat on artifacts — stat priority beats set bonus in most cases.
• Ignoring Energy Recharge requirements — not enough ER breaks the rotation.
• Copying whale builds — most guides assume 5-star weapons and high constellations.
• Over-investing in ATK when the character scales with HP, DEF, or EM instead.
• Not leveling the right talents first — some talent upgrades are trap investments.
• Neglecting the team — Sunday performs best in Sunday + Jing Yuan + Huohuo., so build around their support needs.
