As per a new leak, Honkai: Star Rail will introduce Sunday as an Apocalyptic Shadow boss in version 2.6. Honkai: Star Rail's Sunday previously appeared in the version 1.6 livestream, during which the developers revealed several Penacony characters for the first time. Over the past few months, there have been a lot of leaks about him, with some indicating that he will debut much later than expected.
Some playable characters can debut as a boss in Honkai: Star Rail's endgame modes. For example, Kafka and Argenti are currently a part of the enemy lineups for Apocalyptic Shadow and Memory of Chaos modes. Some characters also appear as a story boss that players must defeat to complete missions and progress through the story. If the latest Honkai: Star Rail leak is true, Sunday will join this enemy lineup later this year.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Details About New Character Rappa
The latest Honkai: Star Rail leak provides fresh details on Rappa, a mysterious character who will allegedly become playable in the future.
The latest Honkai: Star Rail leak from HomDGCat has suggested Sunday will appear as a boss in the Apocalyptic Shadow mode. The Penacony-based character will allegedly appear in the form of The Great Septimus and have two phases. He will possess various abilities, including Volteggiando and Tempestoso, which deliver a certain amount of damage. As per the leak, Sunday will arrive in the Apocalyptic Shadow mode in Honkai: Star Rail's version 2.6, which will allegedly be released in October.
Sunday Will Allegedly Arrive in Honkai: Star Rail Apocalyptic Shadow
The boss version of Honkai: Star Rail's Sunday will reportedly transform into Embryo of Philosophy and gain all weakness types. He will summon several Echoes of Faded Dreams and share HP with them, like The Great Septimus. Upon using Tempestoso, these companions will recover their toughness. There is a likelihood that the upcoming boss will have a different core passive than the Steadfast Guard (used by other Apocalyptic Shadow bosses).
Honkai: Star Rail's Apocalyptic Shadow is one of the endgame modes where players take on two bosses, Starbane Doombringer and Soulhook Sovereign (Kafka), to obtain bountiful rewards. These enemies have two phases and four traits, which make them more powerful than regular mobs. The aim in the Apocalyptic Shadow mode is to beat all enemies as quickly as possible to earn a lot of points.
The Apocalyptic Shadow mode gives players some Stellar Jades, Credits, Lost Crystals, Lucent Afterglows, Refined Aethers, and Traveler's Guides as a completion reward. These items are used to level up characters, purchase Light Cones from the Manifest Shop, and upgrade relics. Stellar Jades can help players buy gacha tickets and get characters from banners. All the rewards within the Apocalyptic Shadow mode reset every few weeks.
