With Honkai Star Rail 2.6, many considered that the banners of this patch would suffer a bit because of the upcoming Fugue and Sunday in 2.7. Although, Rappa was the leading contender for her debut as a 5-Star character, especially for Break teams for those who didn’t have Firefly or Boothill. But HoYoverse never makes things easy for its users because, finally, Tingyun and Sunday make their long-awaited return to the story in the same version. As always, the problem is knowing which is the best character or which fits your team better.
Who is the Best Character in Honkai Star Rail’s 2.7 Banners?
I hope you have saved enough Stellar Jade because Sunday will be the first to appear on the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 banners. This Halovian is one of the best in this version because he can adapt to many characters like Acheron, Yunli, Lingsha, or Feixiao. Also, with him, you can boost “older” characters like Clara, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, or Blade. These are just a few of the characters with which Sunday has synergy, but he is not limited to a specific team, so you can take them in FUA, to use more Ultimates, or to advance turns of his teammates.
Next to Sunday is precisely one of the characters that benefit the most from this Amplifier, Jing Yuan. The general was one of the first characters in the game, but as the updates went on, he became a bit lacking because of power creep. However, Jing Yuan was revamped with the arrival of Sparkle, but Sunday will make him shine even more. Jing Yuan stands out thanks to his AoD from his attacks, as well as his “extra turn” and DMG from his Lightning-Lord, which focuses on single targets.
Phase 2
Fugue will also have her debut for the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 banners. This redesign of Tingyun comes as an upgrade from Trailblazer Imaginary, perfect for Super Break teams, where she not only applies debuffs to enemies but also does Toughness Reduction and Cleanse to her team. Besides being a Fire character, Fugue is also ideal for Firefly, which makes the selection more complicated since SAM is also in this same phase.
Firefly stands out for the huge amount of DMG she does to enemies, even if they don’t have Fire Weakness, because she can place it with her Ultimate. In addition, Firefly also Reduces enemies’ Toughness. So, SAM is undoubtedly one of the best DPS in the game, so your selection will also depend a lot on whether you got her on her first banner.
In the banners of Honkai Star Rail 2.7, Sunday is one of the best options for almost any team because of the buffs and DMG he performs on his own. Jing Yuan is a character that has had a few other banners before, and you may have another more substantial DPS by now. Firefly continues to be a great element and an incredible DPS, so it will depend on whether or not you have her to pull for Fugue, who is an excellent support for SAM.
