[@Kvna-osityyy]

Your edits are phenomenal. I couldn't stop laughing throughout, esp at Jingliu's last turn. 😂😂

[@grompz]

Thank you XD Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PykedoMid]

Ah, yes, another poggers video that proves one can do anything if they lose enough sanity. Jingliu is the goat (I would hug her forever). You earned my honest like, sub and bell

[@grompz]

Thank you my meng! My sanity still intact for this one lol. And Jingliu FTW

[@ettaetta439]

I thought this was going to be a standard HSR video but your edits added so much perosnality lol.

[@grompz]

Thank you! I gonna make it interesting for people to watch than just a normal run XD

[@Donut3094]

The last part was weirdly emotional lmao. W Jingliu, even if you've fallen off you're still no. 1 in my heart

[@grompz]

It's a little extra appreciation for Jingliu since she's one of the reason i started making video XD

[@joshnoritake3167]

I don’t think she even fell off that hard. She’s still the best crit monster by a long shot, and has a lot of action advance schenanigans. She’ll probably get more support with luofu arc.

[@marupurusaivamsi4802]

Jl is more floor . She performs with less investment but imbibitor or acheron like characters have more ceiling, better than team higher their ceiling.

[@yanra4516]

whoa i love this editing styles u got! im wheezing thruout the entire video😭💀 u definitely earn a new sub!

[@grompz]

Thank you! :)

[@knightfurioso4803]

Why didn’t u use hertz with Homero instead of firefly

[@saberstiker19]

Bro this is me right now, PF is the only end-game mode I have yet to three-star dozens of runs, 59k points hardstuck. I can't take this shit, I need Ruan Mei, I'm at 78 pity.

[@grompz]

Damn, i hope you got her! She's so good for alot of team XD

[@LuanNguyen-tc3wf]

This PF is why I'm gonna pull Jade. Clearing MoC/AS are a breeze compared to my PF struggles, and I definitely see myself dropping a star if they keep increasing the nonsense. I could pull for Robin on a rerun or actually build/pull DoT characters and be fine too, but Jade is hot + has a big hat + if she ever can't clear PF I'll feel safer giving up on the gamemode cause the powercreep is too far gone.

[@grompz]

Yea, PF is slowly getting harder and harder. I won't be surprised AS will also follow the trend(atm is pretty biased towards break team). Goodluck getting Jade!

[@fushifushi9441]

DAMN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS!!!!

Those DAMN TRAFFIC LIGHT always stop in your track!!

[@jonesff5297]

awesome vid & appreciate ur efforts in clearing it 3*, subscribed!

[@82trantrongquy-61]

idk why your edit made me so emotional!!!! Im 'bout to cry frrr

[@grompz]

Thanks man! It's an emotional journey for me too to finally 60k PF :')

[@welessy]

If you dont have ff, try this: 1. Himeko, ruan mei, hmc, dead boy. 2. Ache e2, sisnya, pela, avent

[@user-ej3kh3wm7p]

this pf was such a struggle for a f2p & lack of dots, i somehow did it with acheron on the first - blade bronya tingyun ruan mei w/ second like what 😭 nice video btw, i love jingliu + blade double dps

[@grompz]

Nice! Yea this PF has a heavy bias towards Dots(specifically Kafka). Just having her alone is enough to carry 2nd half

[@soran6872]

This pf is also very good for acheron no? Since you got buffed for bringing 3 nihility. She's pretty much the only one that benefits from that buff.

[@user-ej3kh3wm7p]

@@soran6872 yeah the first one was easy but the second one was hell for me lol

[@Shadowenclave47]

I can only get 8 stars in Pure Fiction and that's it. Can't fully beat the 3rd stage. This mode is giving me far more trouble than MOC (currently 33 stars) or AS (11 stars). I don't have Kafka or Black Swan as i started playing right at the end of Kafka's rerun and i wanted to secure Acheron first. I have Herta built, but her alone isn't enough for me. I wish i had Himeko but i don't. I'm considering trying my luck with Jade but since Black Swan is rumored to be in the next patch i might wait for Jade's rerun. I currently have Acheron + her signature lightcone, Jingliu, Aventurine, Firefly, Ruan Mei, the free Dr. Ratio, E1 Welt, Bronya and an E1 Bailu (wish it was Himeko instead) as my 5* characters.

[@grompz]

This PF is definitely not f2p friendly so don't feel bad about it. I would have struggled myself if I didn't have some strong dps(Jingliu, Firefly mainly) and need heavy investment on the team

[@guts3194]

U earned my sub good editing too

[@therion451]

Ah yes pure fiction, the mode that people underestimate cos herta/himeko exist. Lets see what they gonna do if it gets harder and herta wont cut it anymore.

[@grompz]

They are definitely gonna make it harder in the future for newer characters to be good at it sadge.

[@PresidentTohka]

the edits are hilarious but i love it lmao ❤

[@grompz]

Thanks! Gonna make it entertaining rather than just a normal run XD

[@isaiahtheprophet_1]

Hell yea!

[@nigel310]

the editing is the best part of the video XD

[@noazzyk8342]

19:05 yes True but even better in X1 Love ur EditnIg btw

[@grompz]

Thank you!

[@sparkles6612]

UNDERRATED!!

[@grompz]

Thanks you :)

[@andrewsong8619]

Respect! I had to use Firefly E2 for 40k at the start and also barely scuffed 20k 2nd half (I used FF-Himeko-Gallagher-HMC and Herta-RM-Bronya-tingyun) Just wanted to mention some minor optimizations- you may want to go for ER planar on RM so she can ult every 3 turns and if you save Ult on jingliu for the beginning of her turn, the Hunter of glacial forest set lasts 3 turns instead of 2

[@grompz]

Noice! The ER Ornament could be good too i didn't consider using it. I purposely put Ruan Mei between Firefly and Fu Xuan to hopefully get hit lol

[@voski818]

underrated video, well done! 🤣

[@grompz]

Thanks my meng XD

[@Doctor_Faust17]

Very risky dual DPS team considering you don't have FF E2. The SP management is quite the pain

[@grompz]

Yea, the first half is the best score i can get. It's just the sec half screw me alot

[@OsmanthusWineZhongli]

Damn I even have Kafka, Acheron, Jingliu, Blade, Bronya, Pela, with better relics then I cant even finish Pure Fiction 4. This video motivated me cuz u never gave up at the least. I aint bad mouthing u cuz u yes u might have worst relics for Jingliu. But all sakes comparisons, whats the worth for? Thanks for the guide man.

[@grompz]

I just have to put that 50% crits just to make sure she always crits cuz it's always annoying to see her miss the crits at a crucial moment XD Hope you can beat PF4 soon too!

[@OsmanthusWineZhongli]

@@grompz i have 40/220 with 138 SPD Jingliu

[@YukiPapillon]

I mean even without kafka or black swan i finished this pure fic with sampo, guin and pela

[@ryuzaki1095]

nice edits dude

[@grompz]

Thanks my meng!

[@dudabispo6084]

esse final foi emocionante, excelente video +1 escrito

[@grompz]

Thank you!

[@ColninjaPlaysMC]

I felt the pain of lack of dots. First half i had the follow up team go brrr, but because i remain himekoless, i used clara topaz aventurine robin Second half i threw on serval hypercarry and prayged (featuring sparkle bronya and rm) 40k the first half and barely managed to get to 60k the second half

[@grompz]

I tried Serval variant team too for sec half but my Serval is only E5 so she couldn't deal the 2nd half. If i have her E6, maybe just maybe i could do with her.

[@user-gj5gu2wl9f]

Man this is hilarious in good way😂😂

[@grompz]

Ayy thank you XD

[@danieliyandani3078]

Honestly lack of DOT it's pain in the ass for PF, fortunely i have E2 firefly + himeko so i can easily 40k the first half I really need to start building DoT team

[@yaraa__2]

Because firefly apparently wont come home I have to do pf With Himeko superbreak (e5, with ruan mei and htb) And surprisingly the relics for my firefly works really well with himeko i love himeko Super break i love himeko

[@grompz]

Himeko super break is actually viable especially in MOC 12 and Apocalyptic Shafow

[@Nautyormoder]

good vid bro keep it up

[@grompz]

Thank you my meng!

[@Riley26]

As someone who has both Kafka and BS, I sympathise with you, I personally struggle on FUA PFs

[@grompz]

It's a pain indeed. I might have to pull Kafka afterall lol

[@pajamajesse]

himeko's weapon from the side looks like an ice cream sandwich....... very nice job tho!

[@ghotyolocanisyn2880]

@@grompz she’s E6S1. Relatable. Genuinely.

To this day the JL + Blade combo is still SO satisfying

[@grompz]

They definitely feel good together even tho Blade is lacking the damage compared to newer team comps. Hope he some some sort of buff to make him great again!

we basically had the same first half except I ran boothill aventurine robin lmao ...and I got 40k

Sec half boothill team?

Side 1 i used e3 s1 clara hypercarry and side 2 kafka bs dot I got 71k points in the first attemp :p

[@bunnys9704]

Almost poetic

[@PrimatamaNabil]

I wonder, do you have Guinaifen? I paired Himeko and Gui with RM first half (+ Galla) and I managed to get 38k because of the first buff (When killed, enemy has chance to transfer their debuff to everyone else instead). Also you could improve FuA chaining by counting the breaks needed: Present and those ice minions are placed like that to trigger Himeko FuA back to back...

[@PrimatamaNabil]

My Gui is lv. 70 with barely good stuff in the DoT gears + GNSW for DoT boost damage. She's E1 but SOMEHOW did the job done wwww

[@grompz]

I do use Himeko+Guinaifen beforehand, they definitely can clear the first half but i got at max 36k since my Guinaifen only E0 with shitty relics XD It's the sec half that is a struggle (Even with Sampo he's not helping me) no matter what combinations i do and rng screw me alot too. Thus, the over 100 attempts lol

[@PrimatamaNabil]

@@grompz well try tricomp then! Gui Himeko Firefly (she's there to apply fire weakness kekw) 🙈 Do you have Gallagher, by any chance?

2nd node is totally possible to get 30k with acheron, pela, guinaifen, gepard(trend lc) but congrats tho

[@estebanfundadorrez4661]

Technically you could use hmc and replace fu xuan no?

1st half enemies apply so many dots that it can instantly kill you so not worth replacing a sustainer.

Wish i have BS :')

[@crisxias]

Nice run. Btw put Vonwacq in RM and try get still 155 speed or more for improve her and you can use BE rope. (Max her talent skill and ulti to Lv 10 is worth it) Himeko really wanna full set FUA and Sigonia Ornaments, and in that team she can use Attack sphere cuz RM give a lot Fire damage. Firefly look good but the new artefacts still with worse rolls is better in her. The fu Xuan look good , i used Loucha xd And second phase i didn't try with out DotAcheron and look really hard.

[@grompz]

I have built the version of RM you suggest but the speed substa is the reason why build her that way so she always helps charge SP. Her talent i will try get it up XD Himeko build is the strongest build i have atm since i didn't farm the FUA relics Firefly's set is still new and i recorded this video a few days after her banner release too so not enough time to farm her relics to make her good yet :)

I feel like if you don’t want to pull for Kafka/BS, at the very least you need to build Guinaifen and Sampo, both make these stages really easy and DoT buffs in pure fiction ain’t going nowhere.

[@grompz]

I already tried it. I've build them both with the Dots relics. Guineifan(E0) is great in the first half but Sampo(E6) in the second half can't do anything no matter what team/combo i do lol
