New 2.6 Pure Fiction is... pretty rough :(

[@artumbo]

what team did you end up using for this pure fiction?

[@danish2.012]

1st half: Rappa with lingsha 2nd half: Kafka and black swan

[@artumbo]

@@danish2.012 ooo this must've been a breeze for you 😄

[@chunkycupcakeze]

1st half rappa, ruan, htb, gallagher 2nd half black swan, jiaoqiu, robin, huohuo

[@itslemone]

himeko herta aventurine ruan mei kafka swan robin gallagher 63k! my dot team carried the scores but im only aiming for 3 stars anyway so it's all good

[@Secret123890]

1st half: Crit Himeko: 40k pts 2nd half: Acheron: 40k pts No need to pull Kafka, Rappa, FX, and my M7 is at lv 60.

Is it dot shill because you’re chesting infinite cost? Or are you chesting infinite cost because it’s dot shill? Stand proud, Kafka, let’s do this king of heroes

[@hilo01]

1st half was easily swept by Rappa. And then 2nd half made me rethink my life choice as Decaying Shadow kept imprisoning like there's no tomorrow.

[@andysabur4966]

imprisoning and yanqing's freeze was insane to me, pure rng, had to reset so many times

[@artumbo]

omg i can imagine! i guess i got lucky even with aven and only pela getting frozen

[@foggyfrog]

I really hate the imprison/frozen mechanics in the game, especially when they put so many mobs with it. nothing we can do unless we have certain 5 stars or just get lucky with rng.

[@ravenwings1218]

I did the break side with himeko just fine

[@socckks]

ive been a DOT hyper invester since day 1 it was a cake walk (i used himiko(e1s1)/HTB(e6)/ruan mei/gallager (e6) 22993 points, kafka (e2s1)/BS(e1s1)/jiaoque(s1)/HouHou 40000 points)

[@tokyogamer3443]

i used same teams u used just with himeko, but struggling with imaginary minions on 3rd wave first half [i tried to pull rappa i got himeko] Great video keep it up!

[@Unknown-si1bm]

So glad I decided to pull for Black Swan, the DoTs ladies always prevails ❤

[@Vailsiren]

suggestion: if you have any follow up members take advantage of them on acheron's side, since they should be able to apply wind sheer (with the PF buff) on they're turn attacks and their follow ups for must faster acheron ult building I doubt you have her built on your EU account, but an absolutely crazy idea would be: March 7th Preservation (assuming E4+) can produce 3 counter attacks per turn, applying 3 separate wind sheers and 3 action advances to enemies both Jiaoqiu and Pela can play SP positive so it should be possible

[@viviblue7277]

I found super break gave me awful scores on the first half and I had much better luck with an improvised Himeko team. Admittedly I usually run pretty non standard break teams which are sometimes much better and sometimes much worse than the norm. Side 2 I never quite figured out but brute forcing it got me like 28k which is good enough. Pure fiction score pushing I just don’t find as appealing as the other modes.

[@leestefan2999]

1st half is really for Rappa. Unfortunately, I didn't pull for her. Barely scored enough with Super Break Himeko E0 and her Milky Way LC at S2. Had to bring Gallagher up from 2nd half to improve the score and fit Bailu into Acheron, Jiaoqiu and Black Swan S0 with no 5* or sig LCs. 2nd half is made for Acheron + Jiaoqiu but felt a little deceived by Jiaoqiu as his ult only add stacks to Acheron for 1x per enemy. If enemy survives the first turns of attack, the same enemy at next turn will not add further stack to Acheron. Gotta be happy with 62K+, not gonna try to up the score further.

[@IgnasV]

Don't worry too much, I can't even score 20k with Rappa on the first side due to lacking Ruan Mei and Gallagher. Feixiao Robin 2 cost team performed way better than Rappa.

[@theghastlygamerz999]

Honestly black swan probably isnt even the best pairing with acheron right now because i made a friend use an E0 Acheron, E0 Jiaoqiu, E0 Aventurine with Trends LC and an E0 Clara and that team cleared 40k using the Rumor Buff while on auto-battle. She's getting so much stacks with this method that its crazy since her acheron isn't even what i would consider as well built.

[@fleks4187]

1st half with firefly superbreak. 27k++ just bruteforcing, not sure what's the strat here. but 2nd half tho, 35k++ with acheron pela fuxuan (trend) and BS e1s0, so so glad that I somehow got lucky to get her e1, really helps in finishing off the small enemies. Plus the 3rd whimsicality allows fu xuan to help stack up acheron's ult. Overall, yeah not that bad :)

[@fleks4187]

also correction, trashlord hit does not generate energy for allies, which is kinda sucks tbh

[@kappa8324]

Thanks for reminding me to use trend on fuxuan, I was wondering why I wasn't able to clear it myself and it was the reason for it

[@rizkyhidayat147]

Wait what is Fuxuan trend? Im confuse, also im with you bruteforcing with firefly superbreak 😂

[@curryfishheadenjoyer]

@@rizkyhidayat147 fu xuan on trend of the universal market lc

[@yofukashidayo]

​@@rizkyhidayat147fuxuan trend means fuxuan with trend lightcone (after getting hit, enemy gets debuff which adds to Acheron ult)

[@wonderhoy5983]

i cheered seeing it was dot my queens could finally shine again 🙏 og dot believer since kafka release

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

I can't do this pure fiction yet, but looking at that first side I'd probably just replace Gallagher with Himeko. Rappa's breaking so many enemies that it just makes sense to bring Himeko, I think. Not that it matters, since you swept pretty easily.

[@artumbo]

himeko definitely does great first side - good luck for whenever you give it a shot!

[@KalarMeadia]

I'm still not quite done. Heavy CCs on the second side is keeping me from my last Start. First side is E2 FF Superbreak with Lingsha. It doesn't 4k but was really close. It's my second team that got CCed into dust, with a Kafka/Black Swan DoT team with an E2 JQ. My DOT Team isn't fully built out yet so That could contribute. I'm pulling for Acheron when she comes up so I'll do a DoTeron team on it later and see if that works.

[@theghastlygamerz999]

E2S1 Firefly + E1 DDD (S1) Bronya on Eagle Set + E0 RM + E6 DDD (S2) Harmony MC got my 40k. with my eagle set Lingsha, i only managed like 37800 Pts. So if you have a really fast bronya or an eagle set bronya, this works wonders since you're able to just obliterate waves of enemies (i have a video uploaded in case you wanna see) you just really have to manual battle this one and choose who to break/kill so enemies won't kill you with their attacks/DOT. my team was still at around 2000 HP left when i got the first side clear @ 40k pts.

[@Sunhwk]

First side was rough with break Himeko, specially bc of the constant dot enemies kept using on my team and I have no Lingsha, but second side carried with Acheron+Jiaoqiu. Had to reset once bc Yanqing was specially vengeful towards my Acheron and imprisoned her twice in a roll.

[@dellaisnotaduck]

I think i have major skill issues since i couldn't get past 56660 points with firefly team (with Gallagher instead of lingsha) on first half and Herta+Jade team on second half. However i have no DDD, no Jiaoqiu for my acheron, didn't build himeko, no limited lightcones for any character, no DOT character, herta and Jade's traces aren't maxed and Gallagher is sitting at 136 spd. Idk what to do... should i let go of those 80 jades?

[@tekgenius274]

Well there's no reason you need to clear it now, just level up jade and see if she works in your rotation

[@dellaisnotaduck]

@@tekgenius274 ok i will do that and if it doesn't work then I'll give up.

[@theghastlygamerz999]

it really all comes down to just better team building coz no matter how good you are at the game, if you're not getting the right speed tuning and/or team members, you'll be wasting a lot of time since Firefly only has a finite amount of turns before she becomes a FireFraud again. I used an E2 Firefly on my run with a Bronya (no sustain) and managed 40k pts. If you're like E1 FF, Himeko would also work here tho you'd need a very specific setup for that. Specifically a very defensive team with your Ruan Mei and HMC as well as some bulk for your Himeko if you do have her since she's gonna do a lot of FUA and make your team get hit a lot more because of the advance forwards they're getting. But if you're E0 Firefly then honestly, Gallagher is the only real option and it just wouldnt be as effective as Bronya or Himeko.

[@dellaisnotaduck]

@@theghastlygamerz999 yeah i don't have eidolons or limited lightcones for any of my characters (I am f2p) and i can't play sustain less due to heavy crowd controls by the enemies. And speed tuning is important i know but i don't have a single copy of Dance³ so it hurts my team. I also don't have good relics with spd substat to give to Gallagher.

[@theghastlygamerz999]

@@dellaisnotaduck i get ya. tho speed tuning doesnt really always mean you need DDD, Eagle set or Messenger. for speed tuning the thing im trying to say is you mostly just want specific allies to take turns in order. Like Ruan Mei -> HMC -> Gallagher -> Firefly. Its just about getting the right speeds to achieve better results since you want their specific kits to be up at the time that you need them... like HMC's ULT to deal super break damage before Firefly gets to take a turn or Ruan Mei or HMC's energy already used up before Gallagher with a Quid Pro Quo can take his own turn.

[@1norwood1]

I used Firefly Superbreak for first half and In the second half I used Kafka \ Black Swan \ Robin \ Fu Xuan (Don't have another healer built), it worked very well but second half got dicey towards the end with some key units getting CCed.

[@ВладиславБериславский]

I started playing around 2.2. By now all I have is Firefly Superdreak (with Gallagher) and FRT team (no Aventurine ): and using FuXuan as a sustain, will try to get him). I also have Jade, who I peaked up just to trivialize pf, as this is the only mode I struggle with. And you know... It's the first time for a loong time I'm just unable to get even 50k. I don't know, I guess it's time to aggresively farm relics for Herta Jade, 'cause it`s a disaster. I see myself getting hmc cons and playing with Ruan Mei speed to get acceptable results on first half. But the second one still makes me wanna cry.

[@blindfold1046]

I DO LIKE DOTS!! (I used HuoHuo, Kafka, Black Swan and little Gui for one half and Firefly, Gallagher, Asta and HMC on the other half)

[@Neavh]

Fei, Robin , Herta, and Aventurine got me through that second half at 60k highly recommend.

[@ThatoneBirdIdk]

As some who has Acheron Kafka blackswan and firefly Ruan Mei I’m freaking set and ready

[@NovaOrNeo]

The dot enemy is such a massive pain, feels like it does way more damage then the rest

[@OfficialNeonScratch]

what do i even use for acheron if i don't have Aventurine (I'm getting him soon for the good sustain and free follow ups and maybe free acheron stacks with certain LC). This specifc PF is so hard for since it revolves around Dot and It's hard to clear it even with a well built Kafka and Black Swan.

[@chilldude6969]

E0S0 Rappa 1st half and E0S1 Acheron 2nd half(same team as your) btw is Rappa sig actually worth it because i got S5 4*charmony lc from weapon banner!!!

[@robertsimon5245]

Charmony fall is enough

[@DhakaHyanataR]

I got the sig accidentally in one 10 pull. And it's not much of different vs the f2p SU LC. Just 1 cycle less

[@IgnasV]

@@DhakaHyanataR Like 30% difference. Action advance is huge, turn 1 ultimate is also huge. I still don't recommend getting her. Without Ruan Mei or Gallagher she is kinda meh for me. My Feixiao Robin 2 cost fared a lot better than Rappa, HMC and PF is supposed to be her best mode.

[@BailuGaming]

only pull her sig if you want to 0c with her. The LC is broken, but Rappa is a break character so any random bullshit is more than enough to get max rewards.

[@theshellderinslowbrostail5422]

As a DoT haver, we need more DoT love cuz the issue is that there is just one Kafka and no support. We need more varied DoT units instead of more break focused chars

[@noerufrost643]

Girl, I used Clara for this. Im sure yunli havers will enjoy this one. Their high attack frequency made me counter so much lollll

[@vander1135]

used robin, clara, lingsha, herta for the first one (super fun team lol) and kafka, bs, ruanmei, luocha for the second one(been forever since i used my dot team so im happy to have the chance to).

[@Lugitaro]

i remember that title being more positive 🤔

[@floraliaty]

pure fiction first half is just rappa and himeko's playground

[@Palikawii]

First half is pretty easy with Rappa but I don't know what team to use for the second half 😭 been reading the comments but I don't have any limited dot characters or Acheron, so I may be truly cooked

[@vincentlorenzolucero6337]

1st Rappa-Lingsha-HMC-Himeko 2nd Acheron-Black Swan-Jiaoqiu-Huohuo

[@celsyius]

Funky question, but why does it matter if all the enemies are at 0AV? You’re optimizing your hits so they action advance towards the lowest AV but does it really impact anything? :0

[@artumbo]

if they move at 0 AV you're getting free progression and there's no harm in letting them move (energy when they hit you, dot damage, etc.) there's not much else to it other than holding off on killing entire waves with ults just to squeeze out some extra damage/energy i hope that answers your question!

[@celsyius]

@ I think I get it, but I was always under the impression (a simplistic slightly misguided impression apparently LOL) that AV wouldn’t quite matter outside of something like APOC shadow? When you mean free progression, does that just mean you’re not losing any “speed” from them moving kinda? And you can kill them before they “waste” another turn and a new mob can spawn at 0AV? (I know speed mechanics r a loaded question sorry LMAO but I thinkkk I get it)

[@siar073]

@@celsyius you want the enemies to attack fast so they die from dot or attack your allies to get energy

[@theghastlygamerz999]

0 AV means they're about to take a turn so if you have to choose whether to attack someone in 15 AV vs 0 AV, you would choose an enemy at 0 because 0 AV getting advanced by 35% is still 0 AV. This means it doesnt change anything for them and they won't get advanced any further. Meanwhile if you hit someone at 15 AV getting advanced by 35% means if that enemy has like 158 SPD (or 63 AV) that means the 15 AV left that enemy had would get advanced by as much as 22 AV making it also go up to 0 AV (because 15 minus 22). And what this does is you're gonna allow another enemy to take a turn before your other characters. It's not always bad if you really want to get hit for the free energy but if you don't want that... you'd pick to hit enemies that are already about to take their turns. this is especially helpful for teams that are struggling to clear with better scores because if you cant clear normally with a sustain, then going for a no sustain team will help you a lot as well while trying to minimize the amount of turns the enemies are taking so you can last longer in the fight or actually clear the entire fight before your team dies.

[@celsyius]

@ ohhh! okay that makes a lot of sense :) I thought it was like a score/turn manipulation thing and I didn’t really get it but that type of optimization does, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation!

[@somethingext]

@artumbo I ended up getting around 72k points! I'm surprised I got that far since the only limited eidolons/lc I have are the E1 Black Swan and Rappa's lc. (And Welt's LC on Acheron.) I had JUST barely gotten enough point last PF. 100% the DoTs

[@RaikamiX]

Those stupid bugs keep quining my run. Whoever put Gallagher on apex tier for pf Is wild 😭

[@zannax351]

Gallaghers actual sustain is a lot shakier in PF given that enemies keep dying with besotted. That said, his actual offensive capabilities are still extremely valuable in a gamemode like PF to the extent that I would still put him in low apex anyway. Fire break and debuffs and skill points and quid pro quo is just, so nice

[@winterycold]

I had no problem first side with Acheron, Jiaoqiu, Robin and Gallagher. Bro literally has 100 effect res, just stands there unfazed like a chad and he can cleanse too + free advance forward on his ult (has er rope and 140 spd so he gets a lot of turns and energy isn't a problem).
