Weakness

In this round of Pure Fiction, the prevalence of Ice, Physical, and Lightning weaknesses is higher, while the proportion of Wind weaknesses is lower.

With the revised Pure Fiction mode featuring more enemies and diverse weakness types, it's crucial to prioritize AoE characters with matching weakness attributes or those that can ignore weaknesses to reduce toughness.

 

General Mechanics

Wave Refill: Defeated enemies are instantly replaced, maintaining 5 enemies on-field. Prioritize AoE DPS to clear waves efficiently. It boosts the two main DPS: Acheron and The Herta.

Boss HP Drain: Killing minions reduces boss HP - ideal for F2P players.

The Herta is an extremely powerful AoE DPS, dealing massive Ice damage to all enemies and gains benefits when there are 2 Erudition characters on the battlefield (including herself).

Jade, Himeko, and Herta are able to deal damage to all enemies and action forward, which can help The Herta accumulate her debuffs on the enemy and recover energy for her Ultimate.

Robin and Tribbie are key to offering high ATK, extra DMG, and team energy regeneration. Aventurine and Lingsha ensure survival while giving decent DMG.

In the second half of Stage 3, we mainly focus on characters who can benefit from buff 3. Acheron, Rappa, and Argenti are the best choices to trigger buff 3 and boost the team DMG. In Argenti tem, you can replace Argenti with Yunli, and buff 3 should be replaced by buff 2.

And supports like Ruan Mei, Gallagher, Sunday, Tingyun, and Aventurine, using Ultimate to buff and increase the survivability of allies would be great in this scenario.

Stage 4 First Half

Wave 1: Eliminate Automaton Beetles First

In Wave 1, quickly defeat the Automaton Beetles to stop their attacks and shield-casting. If they have shields, use a weaker attack first to break it, then follow up with strong attacks to eliminate them swiftly.

Wave 2: Target Furiae Warriors

In Wave 2, prioritize defeating Furiae Warriors as they can apply the Reverberation debuff to your allies. You can also strip their War Armor stacks to turn the debuff back on them.

Wave 3: Kill Dreamjolt Troupe's Bubble Hound

In Wave 3, Cocolia is accompanied by a Bubble Hound minion. Kill this hound inflicts Bleed DMG on Cocolia, granting DoT teams a significant advantage here. However, achieving a full-score clear won’t be as effortless as with Acheron teams, which can brute-force the stage through raw burst damage.

The Herta is an Ice AoE specialist that deals massive DMG output and triggers follow-up attacks on enemy elimination. Herta synergizes well with The Herta and provides AoE Ice DMG. Yunli and Argenti deal massive Physical DMG.

Tribbie and Robin amplify overall team damage output. Sunday advances Argenti's action and Robin is the strong support for turn manipulation. Gallagher, Aventurine, and Natasha increase the team's survivability.

Conclusion

Overall, although the enemies' HP has increased in this round, the buffs provided can compensate for a significant portion of the damage. Additionally, be mindful of the new enemy mechanics.

Since the new enemies can coordinate to control your characters, selecting characters with resistance or crowd control removal abilities is key to countering them effectively.

Acheron remains extremely powerful, with formidable damage output. As the main DPS from version 2.1, she is still very competitive. The Herta is even more dominant in Pure Fiction, capable of achieving full marks on both routes using auto-battle. With the help of Tribbie, securing full rewards becomes even easier.
