Honkai: Star Rail - Sunday Level-Up and Trace Resources Guide

The initial stage of the 2.7 update for Honkai: Star Rail is expected to introduce the new character Sunday. You can start gathering Ascension and Trace materials for this member of The Family before their release in Penacony. Sunday, a five-star character who harnesses the Imaginary element and follows the Harmony path, is anticipated to be quite formidable. To maximize their potential upon release, you should collect the necessary items in advance.

Leaks regarding the 2.7 version of Honkai: Star Rail indicate that you can gather all the upgrade materials for both Fugue and Sunday ahead of their release. This preparation will allow you to elevate Sunday’s Ascension Level and unlock their Trace abilities immediately when they become available. While it’s yet to be confirmed how powerful this character will be, having the right items ready for Sunday can help ensure they reach their full potential.

Ascension Materials to Collect for Sunday in Honkai: Star Rail

Pre-farm the Necessary Items Ahead of Time

According to Honey Hunter World, the quantity of Ascension materials required to level up Sunday is lower than that for most characters. It appears the developers have streamlined the process to enhance this character’s overall level. Even with fewer resources needed, expect to invest some time collecting the required items.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need to elevate Sunday’s Ascension Level to the maximum:

Ascension Level Materials Where to Find
Ascension Level 20
  • 4,000 Credits
  • 5x Tatters of Thought

Tatters of Thought can be farmed from four-star enemies in the Simulated Universe, such as Memory Zone Meme – Heartbreakers and Shells of Faded Rage.

Ascension Level 30
  • 8,000 Credits
  • 10x Tatters of Thought

These can also be obtained by completing various assignments or purchased from the Embers Exchange Store using Credits or Stellar Jade in Honkai: Star Rail.

Ascension Level 40
  • 16,000 Credits
  • 6x Fragments of Impression
  • 3x Chordal Mirage

Fragments of Impression drop from the same enemies that provide Tatters of Thought. Chordal Mirages are awarded after completing the Shape of Timbre: Stagnant Shadow event.

Ascension Level 50
  • 4,000 Credits
  • 9x Fragments of Impression
  • 7x Chordal Mirage

Chordal Mirages can also be crafted using the Synthesizer, along with Fragments of Impression and Tatters of Thought.

Ascension Level 60
  • 8,000 Credits
  • 6x Fragments of Impression
  • 20x Chordal Mirage

Additional enemies dropping Fragments of Impression and Tatters of Thought include the Something in the Mirror and Insatiable Vanity types.

Ascension Level 70
  • 160,000 Credits
  • 9x Fragments of Impression
  • 35x Chordal Mirage

Many elite enemies (four-star rarity or higher) will drop Fragments of Impression upon defeat.

As outlined, accumulating a significant amount of Credits is essential for maximizing Sunday’s Ascension, even if you acquire all other materials. A reliable method for earning Credits in advance is to engage in the Bud of Treasures activities in Penacony

The most rewarding activity for Credits is the Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures; repeat this to farm effectively.

It’s important to note that Chordal Mirage cannot be pre-farmed before update 2.6. Until then, this material won’t be available in the game. Fortunately, the 2.6 update is either live or imminent for all players at this time.

Trace abilities grant Sunday new skills in combat, making it essential to farm every material needed to unlock these skills before release.

Trace Ability Materials Where to Find
Rest Day’s Longing
  • 5,000 Credits
  • 3x Firmament Note
  • 1x Lost Echo of the Shared Wish

Firmament Notes can be obtained from the Calyx: The Reveries (Dreamscape) activity or the Embers Exchange Shop. The Lost Echo of Shared Wish drops from the Echo of War challenge located at the Penacony Grand Theater.

Effect RES Boost (Effect RES)

  • 3x Firmament Note

Tatters of Thought can be found as drops from four-star enemies in the Simulated Universe.

CRIT DMG Boost (CRIT DMG)
  • 10,000 Credits
  • 3x Celestial Section
  • 3x Fragments of Impression

Celestial Sections can also be obtained from the Omni-Synthesizer. Fragments of Impression drop from enemies who also drop Tatters of Thought.

Exalted Sweep
  • 20,000 Credits
  • 5x Celestial Section
  • 1x Tracks of Destiny
  • 1x Lost Echo of the Shared Wish

Tracks of Destiny come from Point Rewards in the Simulated Universe area. Alternatively, they can be acquired from the Starlight Exchange or Embers Exchange shops.

CRIT DMG Boost 2
  • 20,000 Credits
  • 5x Celestial Section
  • 4x Fragments of Impression

Fragments of Impression are also dropped by the Something in the Mirror and Insatiable Vanity variants of Memory Zone Meme enemies.

Effect RES Boost 2
  • 45,000 Credits
  • 3x Heavenly Melody
  • 3x Shards of Desires

Heavenly Melody can be obtained from Calyx: The Reverie (Dreamscape) or through the Omni-Synthesizer. Shards of Desires drop from four-star or higher enemies in the Simulated Universe and Divergent Universe.

Collecting additional materials from the above list might be necessary to enhance Sunday’s existing abilities. Instead of merely unlocking new traits or buffs, consider improving the effectiveness of Sunday’s attacks and skills. Depending on your desired character build, you may need to gather even more Ascension and Trace materials for Sunday in Honkai: Star Rail.
