Get Your Stellar Jades! | Pure Fiction Guide, Tips, Best Units

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Hey, this is a complete guide on Pure Fiction, the newest end game in Honkai: Star Rail. Pure Fiction summons many enemies at a time so you'll have to prioritize AoE damage and develop new team compositions compared to Memory of Chaos. It gives tons of easy stellar jades though if you strategize correctly, and the first three stages aren't too bad! Let me know below what you think. I go through tips to beat it, and the best units to use, like Herta, Argenti, Himeko and Ruan Mei in Pure Fiction.
Have a guoba day! ˁ(◠ᴥ◠)ˀ

who are you planning on using in PEAK fiction?
NOTES:
- Solitary Healing sounds dope but in practice isn't *on Kafka from testing*, but that was because of the setup used. th-cam.com/video/_46MSVJTDtU/w-d-xo.html Here is Dreamy's video on it in a specific setup. It could be great in a DoT based Pure Fiction, since right now enemies are one shot by Ultimates. Perhaps on Gui / Sampo during this PF, and this could change again next Pure Fiction.
- Since you are facing so many more enemies than usual and they are also all low toughness, you can pair high energy units with the break set too, for tons of extra energy. Energy rope on top is gonna be insane PROVIDED your base attack will kill enemies.
- this blessing is kinda op and we might see less of this strat afterwards
himeko due to her being my only built character that has good aoe
Herta cause KURURURURU
prob Argenti and QQ
since there are always 5 enemies i can put Tingyun with qq and maybe Pela with argenti?
I think argenti's half energy ultimate actually might be really good for the whimsicallity of this pure fiction
Asia and just 12/12 it with Kafka-Sampo and Himeko-Topaz-Herta-Ruan Mei. Svarog was a tough cookie to crack when I was on a sustain, so removed my sustain for Topaz. Mode is fun. Gl everyone.
Who knew investing in Himeko & Herta since launch would pay off this well.
Pure Fiction = Peak Fiction
my herta hypercarry investment is feeling gud rn
A lot of people use them for farming every day, which is what most players do in HSR 80% of the time.
@@Gambit33 this, auto farming with Blade + Herta has been my permanent team ever since
Clara is also a fantastic choice for the phys stages with aoe enemies
I stopped building Himeko at level 70 and lvl 3 traces because I needed to build JL. Even with just the MoC lightcone, she got me the last star in Pure fiction lol.
i think this is the healthiest kind of gamemode they could have added for the meta tbh, very pleased with it
They cooked so well with this
Meanwhile, they made MoC a pain for f2p players.
MOC 12 is a pain
It helps make older unit relevant so I’m glad (people are always complaining about powercreep lol)
It still a pain for me, I don't have any ice, fire and physical dps. I do have Herta but she so underlevel and I don't have resources to farm her rn, as I want to farm for Ratio
It seems my compulsive need to build all of my characters decently is finally paying off
lmao same here, my herta eating good
Herta has been a BEAST and maybe the strongest in Simulated Universe for ages so i am very happy i got her built
Relatable
Same xddddd
Just wait until they start pulling the same as with MoC and it ends up being a limited 5 star check like when MoC forces a physical AoE but punishing Clara or the fight being a Blade check
Himeko's lc went from 0 to 100 real quick
Himecone stonks (i still wouldnt spend 30 pulls on it tho i love pulls too much)
As an s2 Himecone owner, I’m glad that it finally has a use
@@Skillissue448as himeko user E3 + S1: finally 😂
Himeko him moment
Well idk if it was 0 before, there was mob summoning bosses before, like ebon deer and Argenti.
Eruditiom has always been my favourite units. This mode is a massive win
JY QQ Herta Argenti gamer here :^)
om
Day by day, I'm amazed by how HSR handles their endgame content. Not only is there an obvious focus on combat, but they give all characters a chance to shine.
Some games can learn a thing or two from HSR 👀
As someone who has been playing since HI3rd, I've been doing 4 redlotus abyss, 6 memorial arenas, at least 2 runs of Elysian Realm, 1 run of Genshin abyss, 1 run of MoC, at least 4 runs of SUs every 2 weeks, I'm actually tired of Hoyoverse repetitive "endgames".
For this reason alone I don't see myself adding ZZZ to my routine, I don't even have time to playing fighting games, Monster Hunter and others because of these "endgames".
But... These aren't endgame content. They're just fillers to keep you sated in between patches. How can you put an "endgame" to a game that hasn't even "ended" yet?
Endgame is what the game's version of "what happens next after the journey" is supposed to be, the you after defeating the greatest evil. A playable epilogue if shortened to a term.
HI3's story going.into HI3 part 2 is endgame as it passes the story of Kiana and the herrschers of earth to the next team in Mars
genshin doesn't have one yet as it just passed halfway into its story
Especially HSR who pretty much just started its trailblazing story.
@@Raphael-gd4ht Yea I agree, which is why I also used quotation marks for "endgames".
There's a weird obsession for "endgames" nowadays, when it's basically filler to waste time and prop up a game's play time.
This is also why I actually respect Genshin having just Abyss, because it doesn't want to waste your time, just 15 min dailies is all you need outside of actual story and event content.
This is also why FF14 is so respected as an MMO, it doesn't force players to do such repetitive "endgames" and producer Yoshi-p even encourages players to go play other games between FF14 patches.
@@Raphael-gd4htit’s call endgame Because u reach the max level lol. It’s not because the end of story has reach, endgame is when people want to have a CHALLENGE and something unique to try out
If u prefer just having spiral abyss it probably means ur more casual, this kind of game modes cater to another type of audience so it’s good they cater to BOTH and not just casual like genshin
@@Raphael-gd4ht tbf, while it's pedantic to define "endgame" rigidly, it's the term the community accepted to refer to content such as MoC, Spiral Abyss, SU, etc. My point is simply that, IME, the "filler" or "endgame" content of HSR has been well-rounded and better than other games.
Seeing as Gepard side has a lot of ice weak mobs... I'm thinking Herta Himeko is the play here
Break with Herta and make Himeko spin. Mobs low hp and Herta spins. Repeat
Side B is time for masterstroke
So happy to see "Herta" "Himeko" mentioned so much, cant wait for the PF statistic charts tbh :D
I've leveled the both of them like 2 patches ago because of farming and SU shenanigans, and now they get to shine in PF
this mode constantly let you deal with 4-5 fire weakness enemies so you can trigger himeko follow up attack and create another follow up attack, while have enough energy to perform ultimate to create another followup attack. It's like Himeko main wetdream.
Himeko is so goated here its crazy, she just keeps going and going
she cutting pizza all day fr
The enemies won't definitely get away
I'm gonna come back to this later when it's actually out on my server, want to jump in blind first.
Enjoy all the content though, keep it up! :)
sounds good :) see you then
So glad I have Argenti and Himeko! Thank you for the guide, Guoba!
no problemo :)
So most of the best units for this mode are ones I don't have . Fantastic. At least my Blade and Clara can do a bit of damage, but I haven't been able to break past one star on the third stage. Jingliu just takes too long to get rolling in this mode, and she's normally my best unit. Maybe my Seele will do fine, but I struggled with this one
jing yuan overcoming the declarations of mid with this one
king yuan secures his 10th W
Our General finally arises
Jing Yuan himself felt strong in this mode with his skill and ult (can pretty much kill all small mobs), but LL moving once per cycle kinda hurts, and we only have 4 cycles in this mode. If only LL strikes immediately when he reaches 10 stacks...
Kinda of a hot take, but I feel like MoC is still the best mode for JY. At least in MoC the cycle resets when you enter a new wave, and LL have high ST damage too.
I tried him in PF4 2nd half and he only got 27k. I think I might try Himeko's LC on him since right now I'm using breakfast LC and see where that goes
@@dr.stonksakahelth5857yeah, make jingyuan LL act immediately after 10 stacks, wil finally make him on jingliu level
Thanks for letting us know in advance about the weaknesses on either side! I think a lot of people who dominate MoC are going be performing less well here since a lot of us have avoided pulling and building erudition units. I built my Himeko mostly for waifu reasons, and Serval was one of my first ever DPSs, and her build holds up even today. I have both Herta and QQ at e6 and unbuilt however. Well anyway it will be exciting to try this new endgame mode and experiment a bit!
King Yuan finally gets to shine. Pulled for both Argenti and Jing Yuan, 12 starred it easily.
SAME HERE :D
He became the reinforcements now fr
OurGeneral, OurGenti. its time for our knight in shining armor 😅
Do you run your Jing Yuan with the follow up set? I wanna rebuild him someday for Peak Fiction
@@MCBadWolf_24I run mine with the follow up set and the difference is noticeable. I would 100% reccomend using this set, but if you don't have it right now just use pieces with the best substats while farming for it. 😊
No sustain teams might be really good but my Huohuo will definitely stay.
thx for always putting subtitles :)
I was on the fence about building Herta. When Pure Fiction leaked some time ago, I figured she'd age well into it and decided to build her.
She's since become my favorite character, and the gamemode hasn't even been released yet. ^^
I can’t get past Stage 7 in MoC (yet) so I’m excited to see how far I can get in PF. Really glad we’re getting content that helps characters like Himeko shine too!
PF 3 would be a great goal! :D GL
Same! GL to us both🤝
So youre telling me the himeko lightcone thats been rotting in my inventory now has a purpose. THANK GOD 🙏🙏
I have built himeko and herta for the reason of their efficiency in the Exp books farming in release patch. I didn't expect that random synergy became my saviour in the top content of this game. Now I can "You cant get away" and "Time to twirl" harder
Im excited to see how they're gonna design enemies around peak fiction in the future. Cause if they release more enemies with annoying on death abilities like dealing damage to you or god forbid CCs this game mode could get really deadly really fast
dont let hoyo read this D: (id love some new challenging enemies tho keep cooking)
more self-destruct on kill enemies please
They're probably gonna make up for it with op Cacophony (pure fiction buffs) if that's the case
There's so many abbreviations for so many different things that I can't figure out what they stand for. 😭 What does CC stand for?
@@davestew5135 Crowd Control, it's the thing where you can't use your ultimate and your turn gets delayed. It also stops your talent from triggering so like Clara and Herta can't use their follow up attacks etc etc.
The s5 herta lc and himeko lc stocks just went up tenfold
himecone RISE
S5 herta? You mean the birth of the self? Why is it good ?
@@HozDHeartsIf you defeat a enemy you get a bunch of crit dmg buffs
@@HozDHearts Guessing they meant genius's repose, not birth of self (which is the one with Herta on it) as it doesn't have any difference based on the number of enemies.
Thanks for the much needed guide. You made it look so easy compared to MoC, and I totally agree that this will result in new team combinations and abandoned units being used again
The best personal thing about this is, my weekend starts in less than 4 hours. I will have at least 3 hours of trying this mode before my Cardiologist appointment, then back to playing pure fiction!
I think Topaz and Numby will shine too, Numby will shred those mobs into dust all while helping Himeko buff and pop off those follow up attacks and in return bringing Numby right back up to attack again.
Happy 2024 Guoba :] wishing you the best this year
You too :D thanks!
Well, guess I have to eventually build my first 5* (Himeko) after all... Thanks for the guide! It unlocks for me in like 4 hours, but there's this pesky thing called work in the way... xD
crazy to see Himeko and Herta shoot up in value like Gamestock
I just pulled Himecone from the standard banner the day this dropped. That's gotta be a sign from heaven.
I am constantly flabbergasted by the slew of amazing additions and changes this game gets. If they keep this up 2.x patches could be insane!
So excited for penacony ^^
Tried out 2 stages just to get a feel for it. I had to switch out Argenti's rope to ER so that he could ult spam more consistently. Also, Himeko did such a great job in this mode even though she only has the bad relics Topaz didn't want.
Argenti er rope is always more recommended bruh since his main damage is ult
I was using Himeko alongside her signature LC for a while, this is a blessing
Oh I'm glad I leveled up some of my aoe units and have some of the LC genius repose although it's s2
S2 is still awesome :) Breakfast is fine too ofc
TYSM! helped a lot
Glad to hear it!
guoba at the speed of light 🙏🏼
Glad they added this mode, helps give new life to characters that people worried wouldn’t be used much
Maxing my herta's traces was well worth it but i do need to work on relics
Happy this is coinciding with my 300th pull, letting me baptize my shiny new Himeko in this mode.
Hey do you have a Herta guide? Or is it really just the 4-pc Hunter of Glacial Forest relics and Inert Salsotto planar set?
I’m building her cause I have her at E6
Thank you for the quick and easy guide! ❤Plan on using DHIL, Jing Yuan and Blade in this mode and going all out on supports to try dealing massive damage. Have a great day, Guoba!
Gl and you too :)
Looks like it's finally time to build my kuru kuru with himecone
Another thing to note is that break effect builds with aoe units will be very much viable even preservation that has aoe skill like fu xuan and fmc with break effect will be op
Waiting for this! 🫶🏻
i just love the fact that my built and maxed herta can finally shine thanks to this new game mode
I've loved Herta since the beginning, built her super early game (lvl 80, e6, nearly all max traces) and she absolutely CRUSHED peak fiction. Imo this event really showcases the value of units that are able to do lots of action within a single cycle, because of her FUA talent she's able to come back to the field so many times. I'm excited to bring Ratio to this event when he is released.
7:23 I see.. might try bringing my Seele then, was scared she wouldn't be able to clear cuz hunt unit. Also thanks for the guide! I got a better grasp on this gamemode now
Seele is like an exception to hunt because of her talent letting her hit various enemies
@@josebutereselreal yeah I guess I got scared her talent wouldn't be enough to clear the sheer number of enemies, when in reality she can do it just fine
Any plans on making a herta guide video? I have no idea how to build her and i don't want to waste time farming the wrong relics.
So far from my testing in Pure fiction it seems like with Ruan Mei on your team in the current version you can wipe entire rounds with just weakness break. I literally ran March 7th and Pela with Ruan mei to just Ice Break everything between the follow-up attacks and Ults it cleared up pretty fast. Pela was level 60 with no leveled relics just a lightcone her job was literally only to use burst to break enemies
Not even out for me yet; just finished building Ruan Mei so guess it's Herta/Himeko time.
YESSIR
Happy i have a sllid reason to level himeko and her lc now. Love her Design so nice she became very good. The 2 teams I'll use is Fu Xuan, Himeko, Tingyun, Seele then Bailu, Bronya, Pela and Jingliu
Best unit in PEAK fiction is KING yuan, HimeGOAT, HERta, and ArGREATi with their Erudillion damage
My lvl 60 slightly invested himeko and herta that deal just enough damage for farming are gonna come in clutch frfr 😂
I have an E2 Himeko and her cone. Now it's time for her and my Jing Yuan to shine XD
I'm gonna keep using the Jingliu that I spent months farming for while everyone was yelling to pull for DHIL, tyvm.
we ignoring the ppl spamming to pull for JL?
Now himeko and herta need upgrades! Thx guoba, now i likely stuck on Grand Duke set domain. :)
Stuck there with me :(
@@guobacertified stay with meeeeee
Jokes aside, hopefully u get great pieces from that domain! :)
Got Himeko and Xueyi ready just in time, I'm hoping to get good use out of em
Himeko should be popping!
with pure fiction coming out, will there be a herta guide to help us kuru kuru in our pure fiction?
Built both Himeko and Herta since day 1. Always thought they were so fun to play together especially when farming XP mats. I didn't really care that they weren't meta especially Himeko (I love her. Im an HI3 player so you can probably figure out why). Seeing both of them thrive in the new end game content makes me feel like they were worth my investment after all. Seeing them hit 6-digit damage follow-up attacks (with the help of Ruan Mei) is so satisfying.
I also tried clearing the max level deer boss in SU with Himeko, Herta, Fu Xuan, and Ruan Mei. The deer boss got absolutely curb-stomped that I basically skipped the first phase. My Herta isn't even max ascension yet. 💀
Thanks
I recently got Himeko's LC on the standard banner and lost my 50/50 to Himeko herself on Ruan Mei's banner. I'm quite pleased.
A week ago I was sad I lost 50/50 and got another Himeko, since I'm still missing some from the Standard banner.
Now I'm spinning to win lol
What’s to bet HoYo won’t implement a hunt-focused game mode down the road as well, where there’s one big boss with a large amount of HP.
Man Dr Ratio will be eating stonk, too, lol
However the thing is right now, even destruction charaters deal more single dmg than hunt (yes looking at Jingliu and Daniel)
Only Ratio will top them, so I guess we need stronger hunt charaters in the future.
@@SpedRocktjingliu E1 make her actually hunt character that can blast
This mode looks really fun. Unfortunately I only have Qingque and Clara as my fully built AOE units so looks like it's time to start working on that Herta and Serval I have. Also fix my Seele
RNG already blessed me with a Himeko and her LC, but i didnt think that erudition units will slap this hard in Peak Fiction. Really glad to have committed to Erudition very early on (it was rough getting dunked on by the community 😔)
im currently in the middle of building my MOC teams and i barely have enough resources and dont have half the characters i need lmao. i might have to pivot to pure fiction. since i already have blade and ruan mei built, half built clara and himeko. Obvs i have herta and i have an uninvested welt.
Ill just have to see when the mode comes out ig
Unfortunately I dont have any eruditions built and I dont have any of the erudition 5* so we'll see how this goes
which one should i build, S1 Himeko's LC or S5 Birth of the Self?
Very glad I got the silly knight, he was already doing wonders in general but it looks like it's finally spam time. I was planning on using Serval on the other side since I have used her before so she at least has relics, but she's definitely underinvested still so I'm not sure it's the best idea.
I want to be silly and try a no sustain so I was thinking of Welt for the first half and Ruan Mei for the second, I hope it works (I'm always looking for any opportunity to use grandpa). I had totally forgotten about my break effect fire MC, maybe this is the occasion.
GL on the no sustain ^^ I will be attempting the same (or trying my fmc again)
Ah yes, Pure Fiction!
Time to build Physical MC fr!
I also just recently got Himeko's LC from standard. Perfect for my E1 Himeko!
neat now i have a reason to build my e2 S1 himeko
yessirrr
Should I use my free 5 standard pull on himeko since I have bronya e1. I don't really have any good erudition characters
That's it, im leveling up my Herta and also my Lv.0 Himeko's LC
Getting himeko to E3 might've not been so bad afterall. I might start building her now
As someone whos been consistently getting 30* and now 33* for the latest moc, ive only been able to get 8* for pf...desperately building my himeko after getting her from ruan meis banners 😢
Time to build herta for this event.
Finally a use of my S3 himeko lc even tho i dont have himeko lol
In your old guide of himeko you said we should go for the fire dps relic set but im guessing that's out of the way now that we have the folllow up atack set right?
Ye FUA is best now, its in the pinned comment iirc
My Serval finally gonna shine ulting every 2 turns
FIGHT IT... OR ROCK WITH IT
I just pulled Clara on the general banner - 8 more pulls and I get my free 5 star....and I have decided. I am missing Fire and Ice DPS/Sub DPS Yanqing or Himeko....yep I'm going for our coffee lover Himeko. Cannot wait!🎉esp for this mode. It's meant to be 😂
Erudition finally getting some love
I think this Game mode is for Erudition and DoT units. Since they mostly have lower Ult costs(QQ side eye). And target all enemies in Ultimate attacks.
I got Himeko's light cone from the standard banner a week ago and I was very upset about it, but now, hearing that it's good for the Pulp fiction mode makes me a little happier. Though I already have the erudion light cone with Ruan Mei at S3. Which one of them would be better? Also, which erudition character should I build: E3 Serval, E2 Qingque or E6 Herta? For Herta I have her light cone that gives bonus attack damage at S3
Herta first
@@ebc6970 okay, and what light cone should I give to her? I have her signature light cone and a light cone with Ruan Mei (both S3) and also a Himeko's light cone at S1
Guess I have to build herta now
I had to use energy rope on all my dps to beat it xD JY+Clara first team and Sampo+Kafka on 2nd team. That was fun and definitely easier and faster than MoC. Argenti and Himeko havers stonks 🎉
This is where my erudition and nihility units shine
Wow now i need to level up my characters lol, I only leveling up some of characters (10 chara) to clear SU and FH
Started building herta, I struggle so much in this mode since most of my characters are all single target.
What about solitary healing on kafka for pf? Do you think it'll be good?
Yes it should be quite crazy on her in PF :D The DMG will be low but the additional energy and ults can be nice. If you can kill the squishies with the ults, it sounds like a great choice
Alright, so when is the Hunt path focused endgame coming out?
Finally some Erudition love ❤
i can now cope with having dumped so many resources on himeko, she was very fun to use on the fire weakness stages
E1 Clara goes extremely hard here.
My c4 himeko with her lc about to go crazy lol
Havent built my 4 star aoe units so jingliu dhil and welt are my only options
Let’s go!!!!!!
I don't know how well I fare in this mode, since I haven't built Himeko or Herta
I got called out with that Jinglui comment at the end 😅
🐻 I gotcha
Pulling out the pizza cutter as we speak
im having meat feast pizza what you getting
With the latest moc already my jingliu started struggling but holy pure fiction broke her neck
:(
this sounds like a job for madam Herta and kurukuru bonks. and that Himeko i just got though she's still planarless FML. also i need to finish up Serval as well.
