HSR Pure Fiction Narrative Analysis

 

Buff Overview

Narrative Analysis Grit Mechanic

Narrative Analysis Grit Mechanic

Concordant Truce

After an enemy target is defeated by any unit, all allies gain 1 stack of "Resound."

Narrative Analysis Grit Mechanic

Surging Grit

When entering Surging Grit, consume all "Resound." Each stack of "Resound" deals 1 instance of a set amount of DMG to a random enemy target. During Surging Grit, increases enemy targets' DMG taken by 50%, and after they are defeated by any unit, all allies additionally gain 1 stack of "Resound." When "Resound" stacks up to 10 or higher, consumes all "Resound" stacks and deals 1 instance of a set amount of DMG to a random enemy target per stack.

※"Surging Grit" grants 50% Vulnerability and occasionally triggers 10 instances of fixed environmental damage, each dealing 20,000 flat damage.

HSR Pure Fiction

3 Individual Buffs

Buff 1 Universality

During Surging Grit, all allies' SPD increases by 40%. When all "Resound" is consumed in an attack, recover 1 Skill Point.

After allies use Skill to attack enemy targets, every enemy target hit additionally accumulates 3 Grit Value for allies. 

Buff 2 Paradox

All allies can also reduce Toughness when attacking enemies that don't have the corresponding Weakness Type, with the effect equivalent to 50% of the original Toughness Reduction value. This cannot stack with other Toughness Reduction effects that also ignore Weakness Type. During Surging Grit, the Break DMG received by enemy targets increases by 30%.

After allies attack enemy targets, every enemy target that becomes Weakness Broken additionally accumulates 3 Grit Value for allies. 

Buff 3 Divine Score

After consuming "Resound" to deal DMG, increases all allies' DMG dealt by 60% for 1 turn(s).

HSR Pure Fiction The Herta

 

Stage 4 Phase 1

Weakness

HSR PhysicaIce HSR

Physica & Ice

With the revised Pure Fiction mode featuring more enemies and diverse weakness types, it's crucial to prioritize AoE characters with matching weakness attributes or those that can ignore weaknesses to reduce toughness.

Recommended Attribute Priority:

Physical = Ice > Fire > Others

The second wave of Xianzhou Luofu Disciples has 40% Wind RES, while other enemies have standard resistance.

[Enemy Strategy Tips]

①Avoid Triple Support + One DPS (3-support-1) setups.

  • Never underestimate Silvermane Guards on the enemy side. They often carry AoE high-damage summons, and their damage is noticeable.
  • If possible, include a sustain unit to lower the risk of accidental defeats.

②Reserve the Honor Buff for your main DPS to finish enemies.

  • The Honor Buff is marked by a summon with a rose icon in the middle.When it takes fatal damage, it grants the killer a 20% damage boost (or 40% if the Honor Buff was in an empowered state).Recommended Teams

The Herta is an extremely powerful AoE DPS, dealing massive Ice damage to all enemies and gains benefits when there are 2 Erudition characters on the battlefield (including herself).

Robin and Tribbie are key to offering high ATK, extra DMG, and team energy regeneration. Aventurine and Lingsha ensure survival while giving decent DMG.

Recommended Attribute Priority:

Quantum = Imaginary > Others

[Enemy Strategy Tips]

①Place energy-reliant characters in slots 2 or 3.

  • Enemies frequently use AoE and sweep attacks, so placing key characters in the middle increases their chances of being hit and thus recovering energy faster.

②Focus on defeating Larval Ticktari.

  • When defeated, they trigger a deathrattle effect, applying 10% Vulnerability to all enemies.
  • Overall, this half is less damage-intensive than the first half, so prioritize assigning crucial support units to the first-half team instead.

Conclusion

The latest update of Honkai: Star Rail's "3.3 Simulated Universe · Narrative Analysis" brings a slight increase in difficulty: a 22% rise compared to version 3.0 (with similar buffs and the same boss, Aventurine), and a 16% rise compared to version 3.2 (despite lacking the 100% action advance buff). Overall, the difficulty of achieving full stars remains low. However, the challenge of scoring full points without using specialized buffs has increased. That said, if you're not aiming for the latter, there's no need to worry.
