The new Pure Fiction is ROUGH. I went Ruan Mei/Black Swan/Kafka/Guinaifen on side 2 of floor 4 and still couldn't crack 30k on that side.

Even highly invested, restarting often is the way of QQ. At the end of the day you are subject to rng. https://twitter.com/mrpokke/status/1763909405932941534

the rng is what kills it, cause in FP, its you wanting to hit the right RNG like 20+times in one fight in a very tight turn schedule to make it.

Acheron is insane in every game mode. I used her in PF on a side that didn't even show a Lightning weakness, and she still easily got the 40k points.

i mean other cahracters have RNG too, its just not as obvious. if you're running a 70% crit character its entirely possible for them to miss every crit on their big ult

Not a fan of Hoyo's seeming attempt to try to drive Erudition characters out of the one tiny niche they've found for themselves by making all the enemies in PF tankier and doubling the number of elites.

I went with this for Pure Fiction. No limited eidolons or light cones, fairly average gear apart from Herta and Sampo who are in terrible gear and traced up to 8. I thought getting a limited lightning character might see me retiring Serval but I guess there is life in the old gal yet.

Also noticed that Acheron is a better Erudition unit than Argenti in some cases too, which is good since I went e2r1 but bad because I liked Argenti and went heavy on his traces as well as getting his LC. Still nice for farming calyxs but stuff like the Swarm boss, where he is even on type, Acheron team is doing way better. I’ll try PF tonight and see how it is, but it’s not sounding great.

Cleared 3-stars on PF 4 using the following teams: Himeko/Herta/Ruan Mei/Lynx Acheron/Sparkle/Pela/Huohuo Could probably have done better removing Lynx in the first half and replacing her with Tingyun or Bronya or something.

Side one didn't go too well, but side 2 had more than a full turn remaining. Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord delivered the coup de grace of 1.1 million damage against Cocolia as a single target. Don't bother with sustain, just blast and break.

Ugh, this PF is rough. Last PF I got 12*, and all previous ones I had 11*. In MoC I've gotten 35* or 36*. This PF I currently have... 8*. I couldn't even 3* the third one, lol. I'm not really sure what to do about it, and honestly it went so poorly I probably won't bother trying. Seems like this combo of enemies+buffs just doesn't work well with my roster.

She's a pretty solid sub dps and covers his weakness. You use his cheap ult to clear the aoe and she hammers the boss.

Agonisingly close to 80k on this PF, can wipe side 1 no problem with Herta and Argenti but my Acheron isn't fully geared and falls just short. Haven't had a chance to get Sigonia sets for anyone either.

The annoying thing for Side 1 is that ice is listed as a weakness but Gepard isn't weak to ice, only physical. So it's tough mobs with mixed weaknesses too. Putting Acheron on Side 1 is probably the better choice than Side 2, even if Side 2 is all lightning weak and fits a Kafka/Black Swan team well. Argenti owners are probably doing just fine with Side 1 though.

We've had power spikes like this before. This Pure Fiction feels like it's designed to make you pull for Acheron and Jingliu. We won't know of this is the new baseline for another month when the next one comes out. As for the Swarm boss, I like Argenti and Clara. Them with Pela and Luocha is just an easy afk while I go do whatever.

There will be more elites with more health replacing normal mobs until morale improves.

At least they are not very killy, I've been brute forcing PF despite not having good erudition/dot/FUA by running suicidal teams like seele, sparke, ting and ruan mei. All in on offence with somewhat balanced sp gen teams have met the 30K+ quota for me even if someone died on the way.

I think it's more that they want her 5* transformation to be much later so she's getting something in the middle of that along the way instead of nothing.

I will say, I absolutely hate how much rng is involved in Pure Fiction. I've had runs where I've gotten 35k on the first half of 4 and ones with 25k. Same team and everything. It's definitely become more tedious than MoC so far.

At the same time, I do enjoy the puzzle like nature of it. The first half is locked in as Argenti, Herta, and Pela using the Ultimate buff. In order for my Herta to have enough damage, she needs either Jing Yuan's or Argenti’s lightcone. However, Argenti does enough damage with just S5 Another Peaceful Day. He might even be able to get away with Himeko's lightcone. Now, I just need to optimize the second half. I have managed to get 58k, so eventually the rng will be in my favor.

Finally got it!! Definitely getting the impression, from what everyone else used, that not pulling Acheron is going to make max-starring these endgame modes extremely friggin' difficult for me for the rest of the game's lifespan, lol. C'est la vie!

i mean this cycle is specifically designed to, complement acheron. later cycles will complement whatever other character is on rateup. they arent going to be acheron-focused forever.

Supposedly you're supposed to use the second buff for Acheron in part 2. Shatter on skill sucks and Ultimate advance wants at least 2 people with damaging ults I think. If you focus everything on one dps they clear the screen and then you have no damage for the refill.

The 2nd buff works well with Acheron because it charges her meter whenever the enemy acts, just like the Trends LC on a tank. Doesn't stack though since they happen on the same enemy action. The other two buffs kinda suck in general so I'm not sure what to do with them.
