Pure Fiction is a brand-new game mode in Honkai: Star Rail, that tests your roster's area-of-effect (AoE) damage. The new mode feels a lot more forgiving than Memory of Chaos for the time being and if you have some well-built Erudition or Destruction characters, you should have no trouble clearing all four stages of the new mode. Do note that the mode will cycle every 40 days so if you do not have the necessary characters built, you have plenty of time to get the relics, light cones or trace upgrades you need to clear Honkai Star Rail's new Pure Fiction mode.
Best Characters to Use in Honkai Star Rail's Pure Fiction
Before we mention the best characters, do note that the sustain (healing/tanking) requirements are very low compared to Memory of Chaos at the moment. You can get away with playing no sustain characters provided your teams can clear enemy waves fast enough. It is also possible that the game mode gets tougher in future patches so you might not get the same results with the following characters in later iterations of Pure Fiction.
Jingliu: She is the only Destruction character we will mention in this list. A large portion of enemies in the mode have Ice weakness and easily die to Jingliu's skills and enhanced skills, so you should have no trouble wiping entire waves with a single cast of her abilities.
She is extremely potent in Memory of Chaos and she maintains her status as the top DPS in in the game (E0) in Pure Fiction too.
Himeko: There are countless Fire-weakness enemies in the game mode that allows Himeko to thrive. There are also 4-5 enemies per wave, which allows her signature light cone to get more value than it usually does in most content. Her follow up attacks can instantly kill most enemies in Pure Fiction and if you pair her with someone like Ruan Mei and Herta, you should have no trouble clearing Floor 4 of the event.
Herta: Herta pairs extremely well with Himeko and you do not even need a lot of investment on her. All players have Eidolons for Herta provided they cleared all Simulated Universe worlds at least once, and she can pull off an insane amount of follow-up attacks in Pure Fiction when paired with Himeko.
The Himeko-Herta combo might be the easiest way to clear Pure Fiction for players who do not have access to a lot of limited 5-star units. My Herta team was able to secure almost 40,000 out of the 60,000 points needed which is incredible coming from a unit that is considered weak by the community.
Argenti: Argenti's low-energy ultimate is considered weak in Memory of Chaos but it absolutely shines in Pure Fiction as enemies do not have a lot of HP. You do not need to charge his ultimate completely as his 90-Energy Ultimate can wipe out most enemies and and regenerate tons of energy thanks to the Generosity trace which grants Argenti energy whenever an enemy enters battle.
Jing Yuan: The Mid Yuan vs King Yuan debate can finally come to an end we finally get content where the Xianzhou's general gets to shine. He is stellar in the game mode and you should be able to wipe enemies with ease thanks to his incredibly powerful Lightning Lord attacks.
