π§ Pure Fiction 3.4 Tier List – Who’s on Top?
π₯ S+ Tier (Meta-Defining Picks)
| Character | Role | Why They Dominate |
|---|---|---|
| Saber | AoE DPS | Massive SP-efficient cleave, fast ult cycles |
| Kafka | DoT Queen | Shreds waves with Shock + Poison stacking |
| Dr. Ratio | Follow-Up DPS | Auto-targets fresh enemies post-kill |
| Robin | Buffer | “Encore” gives every ally bonus AoEs |
| Sparkle | SP/Crit Buff | Allows hypercarry Saber/Ratio loops |
π₯ S Tier (Powerful & Flexible)
| Character | Role | Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| Firefly | AoE/Break | SP-sustainable and shatters weak waves |
| Argenti | AoE Nuke | One of the best for full-wave deletion |
| Acheron | DoT/Ult Spam | Pairs well with Nihility-heavy comps |
| Black Swan | DoT Support | Synergizes with Kafka & Firefly |
| Tingyun | Buffer | Still essential for budget or sparkless comps |
⚔️ A Tier (Strong But Niche)
| Character | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Serval | F2P DoT | Good Shock spread with proper support |
| Qingque | AoE RNG | Strong potential with Robin, but inconsistent |
| Luka | DoT/Break | Kafka synergy & consistent debuff uptime |
| Herta | Wave Clear | Works well if you time her follow-ups |
π§ͺ Best Pure Fiction Teams in 3.4
πͺ️ Team 1 – Saber + Encore Machine
-
Saber (Main DPS)
-
Robin (Encore Buffer)
-
Sparkle (Crit + SP Engine)
-
Huohuo (Sustain + Energy regen)
π This team loops Saber’s Ultimate nearly every wave. Robin’s Encore triggers follow-up AoEs from Saber, and Sparkle ensures non-stop skill use.
π Team 2 – Kafka DoT Stackers
-
Kafka (DoT Core)
-
Black Swan (DoT Amp)
-
Luka / Serval (Shock/Bleed)
-
Tingyun / Huohuo (Support)
π Perfect for slow-staggered waves. Kafka and Black Swan can AoE-kill multiple enemies through status procs alone.
π₯ Team 3 – Firefly Burn Break
-
Firefly (Breaker DPS)
-
Ruan Mei (Weakness Timer Extend)
-
Hanya (SP/ATK Boost)
-
Gallagher (Heal + ATK Up)
π Works best in Fire-weak or Physical-weak rotations. Firefly’s AoE Break pairs excellently with Ruan Mei and Gallagher’s healing support.
π Pure Fiction Score Farming Tips
-
Prioritize Wave Deletion: Fast clears = high scores. Overkill is fine if it wipes all enemies fast.
-
SP Management is crucial. Sparkle and Hanya can keep skill loops going without needing skill point hoarding.
-
Follow-Up Effects (Robin, Ratio, Kafka) are highly valuable since new enemies spawn instantly after a wave dies.
-
Break Damage matters more in 3.4 than in past versions—thanks to Firefly and Ruan Mei synergies.
-
Time Buffs Right: Robin’s Encore can waste charges if used too early. Hold until the full wave spawns!
π ️ Best Light Cones for Pure Fiction
| Character | Best LC | Budget Option |
|---|---|---|
| Saber | A Thankless Coronation | On the Fall of an Aeon |
| Kafka | Patience Is All You Need | Fermata |
| Sparkle | Earthly Escapade | Meshing Cogs |
| Firefly | Where Dreams Rest | Woof! Walk Time! |
| Robin | Flowing Nightglow | Memories of the Past |
π Weekly Checklist for Pure Fiction Optimizers
✅ Check enemy weaknesses before each phase rotation
✅ Pre-farm Relics for Saber, Kafka, and Firefly
✅ Level key Light Cones to 80 for maximum scaling
✅ Time buffs/ults carefully to hit multiple waves
✅ Review leaderboard comps on Reddit or Bilibili for inspiration
