Personally, i prefer using Sunday instead of Sparkle for Argenti because of the energy regen. I'm also glad that my argenti is usable again on Pure Fic because the previous ones were so bad for him.
Same dude, my Himeko in last purifiction cleared him out of the water even though her build is significantly worse, and now my Argenti almost 40k cleared one side haha
I really wish Argenti had the same mechanic as Destruction Trailblazer where he can choose which ult to use at 180 energy. It’s unintuitive for an ult DPS to sometimes want to avoid energy
I agree, I don't like grit mechanics too. Depending on how evil they are in the future, grit mechanics can widen the gap between favored units and other units. Hopefully that's not the case.
Liking the video before I even watch it because I know all beauty is protected in this one. Jokes aside, it's kind of amazing how how the requirements are for this run. I've seen Argenti 0 cycle side 2 without that much thought put into it even haha (there was an E1 Robin though. She's usually overkill in PF but here I assume she makes up for the lack of phys weakness). I'm sure the Lingsha+Jade combo with the birds can do it! Side 1 gotta love the cannoneers though, their energy is always very useful. About the new PF, forcing 5 enemies is definitely a great addition. It definitely makes erudition stronger, but I'm reserving my judgment because of the grit buff. Like you said, the 3rd wave can be awkward since now PF is built around it. Maybe more adjustments are needed, idk. I just hope I can continue to blast one side with Argenti for the foreseeable future (no more dot pf please), and side 2 I'll make do with Himerta when possible, or weird comps when not.
6:51 Damn, and the Thief build x Ruan Mei worked for me. Still a fan of samming Argenti's Kuru-kuru though Jokes aside, PF never should have had that less than 5 enemy on the field at any point in time. Not only do AoE characters get an indirect nerf, this also affects stuff like how Jade or Himeko can build their own stacks. It was a terrible time all around, seemingly only to help out Seele and Feixiao(?) I didn't think about it like that, but wave 3 mobs scaling to needing the grit buff makes way too much sense. I mostly had issues not with getting grit back, but more on how I keep on losing (effectively) AV while on grit, because I needed to do the sustain thing of only ulting after one enemy starts moving to "consume" more AV until my own turns. I guess it mostly boils down to a difference in conditions since getting grit back is like, 2 ults + 1 skill and a kill? For 70 points back. I'll definitely give the Fugue strat a shot, it seems way too funny not to try. Since I am already using Thief, it may be a lot more possible for me to pull it off lol
Unfortunately, the loss of dmg really hurts even with the bonus energy from breaks. At some point, directly having more efficient ults (in terms of kills) is more productive for me than more energy. And yea the 4 enemy thing only seemed to nerf actual quadratic scaling chars like Jade to bring them closer in performance to other chars in the same game mode. Which really doesn't make too much sense imo. Also the Fugue strat lol. Tag me or something if you pull it off. The idea is for Robin to hold the LC and lock herself into it with her ult and Argenti goes to town. Waves 1 and 2 may be problematic but if you get to wave 3 with the conditions and can pull the 1 shot off (with eidolon help probably) then it will be quite comical.
@EiDehGaming For sure, may take a while though since I forgot to prefarm Fugue's mats 💀💀 I will still be prioritising my 3-man clears, so i might just end up doing a full Superbreak based run lol, can't wait to try it out
The return of the king…MoC when for the knight of beauty…anyhow I thought the new pure fiction is pretty cool. I got a 0 cycle on the second side with a jade Herta setup, first side being beyond impossible for rappa (I hope they’re having fun with making PF sides in a way where rappa just barely can’t toughness break the whole wave at once). And yea the jump between the first two waves and wave 3 is really harsh, and this will only get worse. Hopefully they do more interesting (and less evil) things with grit in the future. I saw the top comment and I think what they are seeing is when you cast argenti ult, after the initial argenti standing alone in the ruins or whatever it is, but before he swings, there’s a black screen for a lil bit as the screen swipes over to the right past argenti, but that is literally always been a thing with argenti’s ult, after checking a previous vid. After reading the comments and looking back at this vid, there seems to be a confirmation bias that makes it far more noticeable too, I think this may be what was happening. I don’t believe there’s any problem with the recording. Tangential yapping…keep cooking man how many other types of yapping are there.
Nice work. And yeah Rappa into Pure Fiction is always a bit weird. I'm still working on the 2nd side, well a 2nd side that is compatible with the first side.
ARGENTI WAS SO FUN TO USE😭🙏 I lowkey wanna try zero-cycling but the runs I did was to ensure I got 80k pts (which, I did, thankfully) and it was featuring Argenti and Jing Yuan hypercarry on both nodes. I did run Eagle with Argenti since I didn't have Sparkle nor Tingyun on the team at that time (it was HMC just for DDD spam anyway and Ruan Mei instead) but that was seriously a fun run. See how fun Pure Fiction could be if the cycle isn't DoT centric? Thank you very much, Hoyoverse.
Great run! It's fun to see Argenti back.. not that I have him anyway but still. Overall I'd say the new system is decent, having 5 mobs on field at all times is indeed the best new feature. Though realizing the 100% AA isn't an inherent feature of surging grit does lower my expectations for future PFs. Not sure if I have any chance of 0 cycling as I seem to lack the PF specialists. My best bet for side 1 is Rappa (trying to get a thief set) but I'm not sure who would fit as the 4th slot. Haven't thought about side 2. Fugue tomorrow, and I'm still on the fence. I have a lot of thoughts, it'd be too long to put here 😅 But honestly I'm leaning more towards skipping as I only have 60 ish pulls and I want smug Herta more.
@@Wawawawawa750 this was exactly what I had in mind with the Robin concerto trap! And yea Fugue is just there for 6 breaks (double break on 20 toughness and single break on 30 toughness)
dot grit mechanic will kill me in the future and probably kill my streak of having all endgame content full starred since I pulled blade from his first banner dead
Perhaps. But I think it's more interesting to figure it out beforehand. Also not a targeted statement but in general, chars that may be 'generically good' at the game mode may not be quite as good for PF 0-cycle because of how restrictive it is. We'll see though
Concur that side 2 is absolutely Hoyo triggering Mercy Mode for a minute to let people actually test the new PF and not kneejerk 'I HATE IT IT SUCKS' because they detest change. I think the new PF is probably why they gave us a free 5 star selector this patch, too -- if they're assuming Himeko/Herta is the baseline for most players (used across the two sides in some some combination, or potentially Himeko/Clara), then 'guaranteeing' that baseline is very valuable. Curious to see where we go from here for sure.
honestly i think PF getting harder is a bit more reasonable. imo it has consistently been the easiest gamemode to clear and lowered Erudition characters value by a significant margin (Herta has carried me to 80k everytime) so it makes sense if they want to force you to pull at least one. they just need to fuck off with the DoT shit, and adding any of the "break this first then you can actually kill it" mobs, cause good God the last 2 PFs have been unbearable. this one is downright trivial in comparison.
the thing is harder pf would push herta more than any other unit, the reason shes so good is bcs she's just hella consistent in any comps as a secondary attacker and she's a decent sustainless hypercarry even if she cant match argenti in that apartment. stronger eruditions usually need herta to pop off, so harder mobs would just make herta even stronger
Tbh I think Pure Fiction should be more tailored to Eurdition characters. One direction I hate this game going in is that every time a new unit releases, the blessings of ALL 3 GAME MODES is specifically tailored to them. Despite the fact that we have three distinct and unique modes, the same meta characters can be used on all of them. Whats the damn point of making more modes with different mechanics if the buffs are the ones blatantly carrying the released unit? Let their weaknesses show through and let their strengths shine stronger. It’s weird imo
@@seraphywang4638 noooooo how else can poor indie company sell the new characters without shill them to dominate every content (and immediately fall off when shill ends + new unit releases)
is something wrong with the recording..? everytime argenti ults the screen goes black for a second edit: guys its most likely a problem with my phone. no it is not the normal typical argenti animations I play argenti and its not like that usually. again, problem with my phone lol.
@@emerald_blaze Could I get a time stamp example? I've tried it on mobile and incognito on different resolutions and can't seem to replicate the issue. Besides the part of the animation where Argenti's ult is a black screen for like a fraction of a sec
I feel bad for argenti and herta They r very very very dizzy after all the pure fiction shit we put them through 😂 And y not use Sunday Energy over cap?
it's probably a good option. but the point is to create a lineup where the other side is also capable of 0-cycling and so sunday is reserved for the other side
@ said like a true f2p gamer 🤩 But I am struggling in this new pf Side one is hard I don’t have anyone lightning weak or physical except Acheron Not the best use care over here

Jingyuan too really clear this pure fiction easily haha....well if you have Sunday.
I think he was actually trying to nerf the energy gain to spam 90 cost energy ult, for this instance Sparkle is better
A New Pure Fiction
The Same Old "Sora ni aru arayuru utsukushisa wa, boku ga mamorinukimasu."
So glad to see Sparkle again, thx for the Showcase Eideh, although i don't play Argenti. Always nice to know what kind of setup other dps uses.
I really wish Argenti had the same mechanic as Destruction Trailblazer where he can choose which ult to use at 180 energy. It’s unintuitive for an ult DPS to sometimes want to avoid energy
Yes! The technology is already there, quite literally from the start of the game 😂
I agree, I don't like grit mechanics too. Depending on how evil they are in the future, grit mechanics can widen the gap between favored units and other units. Hopefully that's not the case.
The grit is literally universal on this one with "use ultimate".
Imagine if they put another one of those with DoT, i would absolutely cry

Hey what do you think about 4pc eagle on argenti with that much ulting?
its viable this pf bcs of the no skill point drain gimmick, otherwise youll run put of sp unless you run sunday sparkle robin
Even with the SP, the few times I tested him, I find that he ends up outrunning buffs and not doing enough dmg even with the extra turns and ult

I was listening to music and being delulu until I saw the notification. I'm sat
cool argenti run, but what about that trio in the end
work in progress ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really dislike the new grit mechanics. Depending on what they are, the PF could either be extremely easy (like this one) or difficult

Side one is hard

Not the best use care over here
Why it take too long for u to make 0c content every time new endgame content reset (be it chaos, apoc or pf)?
Does the 4pc set of Tingyun/Sparkle stack?
I think it does
It shows up as 2 separate Sacerdos buffs. Though there is the chance that they show up twice but only buff once.
They started it easy and will bump the difficulty later. I hope not😅😅😅
