Honkai Star Rail is nearing the end of Version 1.5 and with the Special Program Livestream for 1.6 just days away, players will finally see official announcements for what we can expect in Version 1.6. However, before the livestream, there was a new set of leaks regarding a new game mode that is set to be introduced in 1.6. The leaks, primarily shared by the credible third-party source c2tr_, provide an in-depth look at the Pure Fiction game mode, set to become a permanent addition to the Forgotten Halls.
Leaked Details of Pure Fiction Game Mode in Honkai Star Rail
According to the leaks, Pure Fiction introduces a dynamic and challenging game mode set within the Forgotten Halls. The leaked tutorial details several gameplay elements that set this mode apart from previous features.
Endless Enemy Spawning: Pure Fiction will constantly spawn enemies, creating an ongoing challenge for players. Points are earned by dealing damage or defeating these foes.
Cycle Limit: Each battle in Pure Fiction has a cycle limit, and once this limit expires, the combat concludes. The wave of opponents is replenished upon elimination until the cycle ends.
Action Order: The remaining cycles are displayed in the upper left corner of the screen as the Action Order. Players can only earn points by defeating targets before the limit runs out.
Score Tracking: The current enemy wave and defeated opponents are tracked and displayed on the screen. The final score is evaluated based on points collected in the first and second Node of the battle.
This gameplay of the Pure Fiction game mode is similar to the Planar Infinity event featured in Honkai Star Rail 1.4. Notably, only stages where players obtain three stars will be recorded. At the beginning of a new period, all prior challenges will be immediately unlocked based on the previous record, but this mechanic applies only to the first three stages of Pure Fiction.
For those seeking additional challenges, quick unlocks allow Trailblazers to initiate the highest available challenge directly. Clearing it with the highest rating automatically records three stars for the prior stages. Successful completion of Pure Fiction objectives rewards players with a free copy of Lynx, Stellar Jades, and other in-game resources.
Player Speculations and Reactions
As the leaks circulate among the community, players are expressing various opinions and speculations. Some draw parallels between Pure Fiction and the Mechanism of Carnage (MoC) game mode, while others appreciate the unique scoring system and continuous enemy replenishment.
It's worth noting that the leaks are subject to change, and the actual Pure Fiction mode may undergo adjustments before the official release. Players are advised to stay tuned for official announcements and patch notes.
