Embark on an adventure in Pure Fiction, the latest game mode introduced in Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike the challenging memory of chaos, Pure Fiction provides a more forgiving experience, focusing on testing your roster’s area-of-effect (AoE) damage capabilities. If you have well-built Erudition or Destruction characters, conquering all four stages of this new mode should be a breeze.

Pure Fiction operates on a 40-day cycle, giving players ample time to prepare their characters. Whether it’s acquiring relics, light cones, or trace upgrades, you have the opportunity to gear up before each rotation. Here’s a look at some of the top characters to utilize in the current Pure Fiction rotation:
Jingliu:
The sole Destruction character mentioned, Jingliu excels this mode with ice-based skills, easily wiping out enemies with her powerful abilities. Her dominance in Memory of Chaos extends to Pure Fiction, solidifying her position as a top DPS character.
Herta:
Teaming up seamlessly with Himeko, Herta doesn’t require extensive investment to shine. Accessible to all players who have cleared the Simulated Universe worlds, Herta’s synergy with Himeko allows for impressive follow-up attacks, making them a formidable duo in Pure Fiction.
Argenti:
While his low-energy ultimate may seem lackluster in Memory of Chaos, Argenti’s abilities shine in Pure Fiction due to the mode’s lower enemy HP. His 90-energy ultimate can efficiently eliminate foes and replenish energy, thanks to the Generosity trace, making him a valuable asset in this mode.
Himeko:
With numerous fire-weak enemies and multiple foes per wave, Himeko thrives in Pure Fiction. Her signature light cone attack gains significant value in this mode, and when paired with characters like Ruan Mei and Herta, she becomes a force to be reckoned with.
Black Swan:
The newest addition to Star Rail, Black Swan’s damage-over-time (DoT) playstyle is perfectly suited for the current Pure Fiction rotation. With many enemies vulnerable to wind attacks, Black Swan excels in dealing sustained damage and securing three-star clears.
In Pure Fiction, strategic team composition and understanding each character’s strengths are key to success. Explore various team setups and perfect AoE strategies to overcome Honkai: Star Rail’s new mode challenges.
