NEW Pure Fiction Update Changes EVERYTHING | Honkai: Star Rail

[@valkenhayn412]

having 5 enemies at all times feels so much nicer since they're just introducing the new system, it was made really easy, but expect it to get harder next time

[@justlivinglife6315]

Yeah it really makes it feel a lot less bs compared to what PF had become.

This is what happens when they actually give usable universal buffs rather than some hyperspecific dot and break buffs only a fraction of the roster can utilise

There's still the same old hyperspecific FUA, Break and Ultimate buff. Always the same. Not sure what you talking about

[@Tiasung]

Argenti dealing 3 million at 13:25 with 360 ult is just absolute cinema

[@Borovski213]

This grit mechanic and change in enemy lineup made me finally have fun in that damn game mode. I finally gave a fuck on my Himeko and used her with Herta to try the infamous PF duo. Even with mid investments, the duo scored just as much as my FF team at 33k points. Not bad

[@Eisenkette]

Fr. I started using argenti again lol

[@rks4532]

I just slap my random unused relics on himeko herta and it did 40k😂

[@Wawawawawa750]

i did feixiao herta jade and they are such an op trio on this mode even without a harmony support (aventurine sustain)

[@haveyourpick]

Same I can't agree more with you

[@poiboi4712]

Herta and Himeko always worked for pure fiction though. This literally changed nothing for them

[@minhnhut9203]

the simple explaination for DHIL consuming skill points is basically his skill buff his normal attack so it counts as spending skill points for casting a normal attack, not using skill points to cast a skill like QQ

[@peacefuldays6786]

But does that buff IL BA? It says only skill and ultimate

[@mrnoobblox7315]

Pure Fiction is so fun now. They made it easier to perfect clear, clear without sustain, and clear without erudition. Now I have less reason to pull for erudition allowing players to skip erudition and save. Easier for low investment accounts to clear, and allowing players who don't like erudition to skip said characters. win win

[@poiboi4712]

Them making it easier doesn’t make it more fun at all. Pure fiction was literally the easiest mode and they made it even easier. After spending ages struggling through apocalyptic shadow and finally 12 staring it after hours, I felt so accomplished. And then I do pure fiction first try and it’s just disappointing.

[@mrnoobblox7315]

@poiboi4712 Fun is subjective, of course. For me what makes it fun is that I don't have to try hard and use characters I've benched. If the gamemode were difficult I'd have to bring the same team I brought for any other gamemode. I agree making it easy does not translate to fun, but personally finally being able to use non-viable for once, is fun. If that is not your idea of fun that's fine. Keep finding it

[@valkragez]

For me is the complete opposite, I have been able to full stars clear MOC and AS for a long time, but I am still unable to full stars PF even once until now. The new update changes nothing for me lol.

[@Accountthatexists]

Not even Close. Jade is much much stronger. She’s the character that gains the most from this change

the grit was so op i manage to 0 cycle pf with my argenti pretty easily. Sunday Tingyun Robin super buffing him to high heaven (which is why i was confused by huohuo, argenti has always been a sustainless hypercarry in pf, which is why ppl think he's worse than he is bcs they force non aventurine and lingsha sustain in the mode)

Umm actually 🤓 the HP inflation skyrockets if you notice that without the grit mechanic you would barely deal any damage just wait till they gives specific grit mechanic unlike the universal ones we got this time

[@NeFlorence]

It definitely is the easiest since PF’s release They probably wanna set the bar low and build on it going forward. It’d suck if they introduce a new mechanic and immediately throw us into the fire.

[@jacks248]

@@NeFlorencewe’re so cooked next PF🫡

[@GodofGoblins]

It is new so they are testing the waters. But really, it just helps out players who invested in PF even better. AKA, if you have AOE characters, they are even better than ever. And since Herta is free and many have access to Himeko...and Acheron is popular who is performing well too...yeah. Makes sense.

[@totallyregulargiorno]

It's easier than beating my grandma. Even my half-built Himeko with a two digit crit damage + Herta managed to clear over 30k

[@noahd531]

@@GodofGoblinsIt’s the worst for those who invested it PF cause if any character can easily pass this that means specific characters like Jade or Argenti mean nothing. I’ve got 40k using Herta + Feixiao. You just don’t need any investments anymore

One of the PF buff you can pick makes so you dont use skill points when using a skill when the buff is active

@Ocacadordecasadas yeah, but in this video, DHil still consumes skill points weirdly enough even with the buff active

It’s so much easier and funner in my opinion 😁

[@PlangPlangers]

Personally, I think it feels like the usual PF. Except that the grit buff feels like it tells me when is the right time to save up for my ults or use them. I thought this new grit buff would make my team achieve a bigger score. The shared HP with the little enemy is really good

[@WanderingPoro_217]

Sounds like a skill issue, I'm literally able to hit 75k-80k now when I was freaking struggling getting to 60k previously.

[@PlangPlangers]

@WanderingPoro_217 ain't a skill issue when I still hit the same score (77k) like the previous pf, but the rounds do feel faster with the shared hp at the start. I just thought the buff could get me to 1-2 shot/s the boss with Acheron (edit: maybe cuz the hp inflation in here is big, maybe that's why the grit buff feels like the same pf(?), idk I'm just guessing shi)

[@shokomucho]

it's literally so good, no one should be whining about the universal buffs (which is why apocalyptic shadow is the worst and most boring game mode now). this is an easy 80k even without premium erudition units lmao. although they're definitely INSANE in pf now, finally gave erudition units the time to shine

[@Wawawawawa750]

​@@PlangPlangersYou can't oneshot bcs the boss has a ton of hp to compensate for the fact it gets its hp reduced by 12% every four mobs you kill. Hunts can actually chunk boss hp rly well with this new pf (fei ult did 30% of wave 3 gepard for me). It's way easier bcs you arent chasing cycles anymore, grit being so good is great bcs it makes you actually work towards a game plan.

Feels way too easy. Even with my subpar investment into Erudition and PF in general (the only limited Erudition unit I have is Jing Yuan at E0S0), it was pretty trivial to get 80k. I will assume they will buff this mode significantly in the future.
