Honkai Star Rail (NA 2024) - Pure Fiction 4 Clear (Lexical Enigma)

No Kafka, Black Swan, Clara, Himeko, or Robin.
Courtesy of X (formerly Twitter) , the playerbase was given the schedule and even the Turbulences for the 2.2 patch: x.com/honkaistarrail/status/1...
Prepared my Sampo and Guinaifen for weeks to account for the pain, and even then, this wasn't a comfortable clear. Below are some of the notes I've taken from my own team comps as well as observing enemy AI during other's clears:
First half (Guinaifen, Herta, Ruan Mei, Gallagher):
1) Herta and Guinaifen need to be as strong as possible rather than going for speed. Giving Herta Rutilant Arena for better CV was the way to go, and ideally, giving Guinaifen maxed Traces.
2) Gallagher's Technique is actually better than Guinaifen since his Breaks are stronger. The Ice mobs will die to the DOTs cleanly with Guinaifen's skill and the first buff (transfers DOTs to other enemies).
3) Need to manipulate the Elites so that one Present drops the detonate/cleanse. Therefore, Action Forward one of the Elites as much as possible while keeping the other one under control.
4) The team must enter the third wave by the second cycle.
5) In the third wave, two Ice birdies need to die, preferably so that the second Present enters towards the middle.
6) Gallagher can attack Kafka if need be since she'll be attacking so often.
Second half (Acheron, Sampo, Fu Xuan, Pela):
1) Pela needs to swap to a sub-DPS CRIT build. Sampo should be fast, Acheron should be on full ATK.
2) Fu Xuan needs to be attacked as much as possible to proc Trend of the Universal Market. Pay attention to how many hits the Dino Chefs take. It's actually correct to let them get enraged for maximum energy gain.
3) Fu Xuan should break at least one Clock mob for more Acheron stacks.
4) Two Hounds need to enter the battlefield before the Trotter bails out.
5) Try to snipe the smaller Dice mobs with Sampo so incoming healthy ones die from Acheron's ultimate.
6) Hold ultimates for Svarog's Hands. Locking Acheron spells the end of an attempt.
Constructive feedback is always appreciated.
