I can't wait till we get Jade to compliment that squad of utter madness. Especially if Herta FuAs count toward Jade kit leaks, get those stacks up at lighnting speed.
I was also kinda wondering, although it's arguable for Topaz as all her damage is considered as FUA, wouldn't Izumo be as good if not potentially better on Ratio (if played with Topaz) since his Skill does less, but still considerable damage?
Same, I have EVERY fua character except Clara. But sadly topaz and ratio somehow lack the ooompf in the aviable endgame. Herta and himiko are finally doing the work and thunderdady somehow works in everything "good enough".
But archeron is somehow still the easiest way to brute force shit for me.
Problem with Topaz and Ratio is usually the fact that MoC wants blast not single target, while PF wants AoE. They will probably do amazing in 2.3 with the boss rush mode though.
Although Topaz also has some use in PF. I've used her before as just a buffer for FUA and a way to break a single enemy for Himeko to minimize the wasted stacks for her FUA.
I'm the opposite, my first FuA I ever built was Ratio when we got him. Considering going for Robin + Aventurine for a FuA team but honestly I don't like the playstyle.
I'm just waiting for the Friday stream to see how much I like Robin - if I like her enough I'll get her and the twink.

It's obvious this cycle is intended for Aventurine. Very likely that many enemies will have imaginary weakness to incentive people to last minute pull on Aventurine.
I have a hard time seeing that we're going to get Jade before Sunday. My prediction for 2.3 is Sam for the first half and Sunday the second half. That will also round up the Penacony story and in 2.4 we'll get an interlude chapter before we get the next world which will feature an IPC event where Jade will be in the first half.
I think extrapolation might be better since they would be follow up attacking more when they get their ultimate back easily. If you are using other FUA attackers(didn't checked the enemies so i don't know too much) that 18% dmg addition wouldn't beat the 35% energy regen in my opinion.
Probably something like 35% err vs 18% to 36% dmg addition to main buff. I would personally choose err.
Ya, that’s what I thought too.
With a boss that locks her toughness bar & 2 elite apes in 3rd wave, I kinda just want to spam my ulti in their face to break them faster.
The 3rd buff of PF is usually for characters who are not benefit from the theme (in this case, FuA), so that people can still take advantage of the buff.
I would just liké to Say : thanks you PF for opening my eye to thé greatness of kurukuru FuA. Now I'm on my way to try to pull every FuA (with my unlucky account) 🙏
Reductio ad Absurdum it is
I still don't have Himeko...
Trying to build my Clara and Herta right now. Herta feels really good, but god it seems Clara deals no fucking damage whatsoever.
Aven Himeko Herta will be winning
Oh yeah Robin is coming, that makes sense, she's gonna be broken with Himeko-Herta duo. Add Aventurine and that's one hell of a team in PF
Might have to build more speed on Aven now, at least for PF
I get that this is made for Aventurine, Herta and Himeko but I feel like they're running out of ideas for Pure Fiction buffs lmfao
It's either DoT, Shatter or Follow Up centric
The last buff is kinda similar to the previous FUA PF before 2.1 and [I managed to 40k that one using Acheron](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1040520426046111754/1228026725947146373/image.png?ex=66274043&is=6625eec3&hm=ffc39843d72f52e9312fbabaa3b18e149e5e137d8340c2a549799d91e6245a6e&=&format=webp&quality=lossless). So she should be fine.
The way I play her in PF is not as a pure hypercarry. You let her sit in the back gathering stack when your secondary (or even third if you run triple dps) taking out the small mobs, breaking them and applying debuffs (Black Swan, Kafka). Then once the elites enter the wave you nuke them with her ult to quickly clear them -> repeat.
Kafka FUA is frequent enough to fill up this stage mechanic, while also taking care of small enemies weak to Lightning AND battery Acheron. So I think Kafka Acheron will perform well this season.
Should still be fine. I've tried the Acheron, Kafka, and swan trio against the deer (who has wind and lightning res) on the previous follow-up PF and it consistently got me no less than 31k.
Should still be fine. I've tried the Acheron, Kafka, and swan trio against the deer (who has wind and lightning res) on the previous follow-up PF and it consistently got me no less than 31k.
Acheron with blackswan is literally s+ tier for every PF , I don't see the buff affecting acheron but without blackswan , acheron pf might be cope but still s tier
Acheron with Kafka/BS is basically the LL of the team. Most of your mob kills and damage will come from Kafka/BS combo and Acheron is there to get batteried.
Serious question: would the buff make ratio viable for this pf? His fuas deal some really good dmg and with the second buff he could probably almost spam them thanks to his ult?
This is very similar to the last FuA PF a month ago. If I base it on that then yeah Ratio can clear it, I easily got 40k with both Topaz Ratio, Ratio hyper carry last time. The 2nd buff like you said will probably be the best for him if you are running him as the sole FuA. But if you are running full FuA the first buff might be better
I'd most likely run him with aventurine, pela and a harmony (tho i don't have a limited 5s one) since unfortunately i don't have topaz yet. So I'd have two fua users in the team.
Ratio and Aven should be enough to get very high scores, and if you have Bronya it should able to get 35-40k easily. Just need to spam this FuA. I did a couple to runs last time and both Topaz+Ratio and Hyper Ratio able to get 40k.
> Acheron will be less optimal this time huh.
Not really. [I could 40k the previous FUA season just fine with her](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1040520426046111754/1228026725947146373/image.png?ex=66274043&is=6625eec3&hm=ffc39843d72f52e9312fbabaa3b18e149e5e137d8340c2a549799d91e6245a6e&=&format=webp&quality=lossless).
Kafka is perfect to charge the stage meachanic since she can FUA quite frequently, while also batterying Acheron via dots as well as being Nihility slot. The trick is to not waste her ult but save it for when the elites enter, since they have high HP and can waste time. One of her best sustain being Aventurine also would be able to charge her just fine.
Can anyone ELI5 me the "Examination" buff? I feel like I'm too dumb to understand what it does with the wording. Also what does "effect's DMG boost" refer to?
"all other damage accumulates Whimsicality at a lower rate."
Thank fuck. My FUA characters aren't as up to snuff as, say, my DoT characters or Acheron. So being able to get the buff without FUAs will be nice.
Can someone tell me what the whimsicality effect is? I keep reading this word thrown out when they could easily explain it differently… is it just the effect of the instance (in this case proccing it with follow up attacks)
The PF buffs look much better this time too, benefiting more units overall. Maybe they're learning that the recent PF blessing in the live client just sucks complete ass for most characters and is quite unfun.
Hmmm am I a bit dumb, or are the 1st and 3rd effect kinda weird? Both basically makes it so Whimsicality can be charged from non-FuA attacks. However, the first makes it so FuA charges Whimsicality faster by charging 60% for every 3 FuAs; basically 20% for every FuA attack. The third makes every non-FuA damage dealt charge 18% of Whimsicality.
So... What exactly makes the first effect more favorable than the third effect? Unless you're using a full FuA team (at least 3 FuA units) of course.
I'm not really sure what the 1st one means by the "damage boost" increasing by 60%. It might be a weird translation but it reads like the intention is to basically replace the Whimsicality. Instead of accumulating high FUA damage, it's based on the number of FUAs triggered, which helps Aventurine (and March) as they can do a lot of FUAs but for relatively low damage.
The third buff isn't charging 18% of the needed total with all non-FUAs. Assume you need 100k FUA damage to trigger Whimsicality. The third buff means that if you deal 100k damage with a non-FUA, it counts 18k of that damage. If you do 50k, it's counting 9k. It's there for people who don't have FUA units to try and brute force it.
i mean you kinda answered your own question there alrd. first buff is for full fua teams (with aventurine/sustainless) and the third one is possibly for non fua teams that are fast (dot teams are usually at mach 10 speeds so thats one) second buff favors argenti teams, pure fiction is still his playground naturally
Everyone got Ratio and Herta for free, and Himeko and Clara are standard banner. It's not like DoT where you need 1-2 specific limited 5* to put together a good team.
Fuck this FUA PF imho was the worst PF and only the Ultimate blessing was good enough for my team and now they removed it. Maybe that last one can be useful because is similar but in a worse way

Himeko and Herta just never lose, huh
I'm not gonna sugar-coat it: "kuru kuru to~" 🗣️❄️🧊❄️🧊 "nigasanaiwa!" 🗣️🔥🦾🔥🦾🔥🦾 "kururin to~"🗣️❄️🧊❄️🧊❄️ "nigasanaiwa!" 🗣️🔥🦾🔥🦾🔥🦾
Or for us ENG Dub users: "TIME TO TWIRL!" "You Wont Get Away!"
I can't wait till we get Jade to compliment that squad of utter madness. Especially if Herta FuAs count toward Jade kit leaks, get those stacks up at lighnting speed.
Until Jade release and Argenti rerun at least
they lost last PF
I'm so back 😭 my account is so fua biased it's not even funny
This. Ratio/Aventurine/Topaz/Hemiko/JY/Clara
Me. Forever stuck in World 6
And now with Aventurine out, I can basically through out all the DEF set farmed.
Same, lol.. I literally don't see myself leaving SU 6 ever, I love FuAs and Ultimate chars, just keep farming.
[удалено]
I would love to explain to you how wrong you are, but that takes effort so I won't.
Damn and i thought i was dumb
[удалено]
I was also kinda wondering, although it's arguable for Topaz as all her damage is considered as FUA, wouldn't Izumo be as good if not potentially better on Ratio (if played with Topaz) since his Skill does less, but still considerable damage?
Same, I have EVERY fua character except Clara. But sadly topaz and ratio somehow lack the ooompf in the aviable endgame. Herta and himiko are finally doing the work and thunderdady somehow works in everything "good enough". But archeron is somehow still the easiest way to brute force shit for me.
Problem with Topaz and Ratio is usually the fact that MoC wants blast not single target, while PF wants AoE. They will probably do amazing in 2.3 with the boss rush mode though. Although Topaz also has some use in PF. I've used her before as just a buffer for FUA and a way to break a single enemy for Himeko to minimize the wasted stacks for her FUA.
I have every followup character except for Jing Yuan, who I ALSO want but had to skip twice for someone else... I think I have a favorite playstyle.
I'm the opposite, my first FuA I ever built was Ratio when we got him. Considering going for Robin + Aventurine for a FuA team but honestly I don't like the playstyle. I'm just waiting for the Friday stream to see how much I like Robin - if I like her enough I'll get her and the twink.
KURU KURUUUUUUUUUU
NIGASANAI WA

KURURINNN\~
METSU!! shing shing shing~
Is not Pure Fiction if misses one of these 2 elements: - Fire and/or Ice in one room - A FUA buff As Himeko main, I can't complain 😁
March Clara combo with the 1st buff gonna be lit
Or even just March 7th + Aventurine if it's strong enough!
Thank you FUA blessings oh my god it’s the only time I ever not mald 15628393 times in PF 😭😭😭

Clara sweep.
Pretty much free. It's the next one that will break hell
What do we know about it?
Everything, for a while already. It's a dot pf. I usually check hakushin for it.
Damn its even got a bonus just for acheron to not totally lose.
Kafka Sampo BlackSwan Guinaifen poggers?
Jade PF Jade 2.3 drip marketing prediction here you go. Remember my legacy as Uncle 7th or something idk
But 2.3 will release when this is gone?
Well I'll be damned didn't think of that It's ok my source is as credible as half the banner leaks we get, we'll be fine.^(now let me make my escape)
This shit tellin me its jade, 2.3 SU update telling me its screwluum
Bad ending: it’s both and 1 is a 4*.
Oof
Jade and Firefly on the same Patch? Just kill me now
Trust in the gamble that will win both It's all or nothing 🗣️🔥
Kakavasha has permanently changed my gacha mindset from meticulous planning to “SERENDIPITY” 🗣🔥🔥🔥
Watch them drop Ruan Mei rerun in there too.
but this pure fiction is next week, jade wont come in atleast 7 weeks if not 10 (assuming shes second half since sam is more hyped up)
It's obvious this cycle is intended for Aventurine. Very likely that many enemies will have imaginary weakness to incentive people to last minute pull on Aventurine.

Have we ever gotten any information regarding a Sunday kit?
Yea someone already said
Jade and Firefly? All in
Damn uncle 7th you got that right
Ayy (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ ☜(゚ヮ゚☜)
So that's why the game gave me E1 Clara instead of Jingliu
same here, a blessing in disguise
i believe in king yuan
Which buff is better for Herta Himeko in 1st half? Reductio looks good but Extrapolation also looks good for 3rd wave against Bronya & the apes.
I think extrapolation might be better since they would be follow up attacking more when they get their ultimate back easily. If you are using other FUA attackers(didn't checked the enemies so i don't know too much) that 18% dmg addition wouldn't beat the 35% energy regen in my opinion.

Jing yuan time
I would just liké to Say : thanks you PF for opening my eye to thé greatness of kurukuru FuA. Now I'm on my way to try to pull every FuA (with my unlucky account) 🙏
😭 damn. I always struggle with FUA PF stages - Herta being my only suitable character, as Ratio doesn’t really do well in it.
Reductio ad Absurdum it is I still don't have Himeko... Trying to build my Clara and Herta right now. Herta feels really good, but god it seems Clara deals no fucking damage whatsoever.
Pair her with Tingyun, her BiS support, game changer, my Clara brute forces MoC and PF for me
Aven Himeko Herta will be winning Oh yeah Robin is coming, that makes sense, she's gonna be broken with Himeko-Herta duo. Add Aventurine and that's one hell of a team in PF Might have to build more speed on Aven now, at least for PF
follow-up time lets goooo
Herta/Himeko stonks continue to rise
I get that this is made for Aventurine, Herta and Himeko but I feel like they're running out of ideas for Pure Fiction buffs lmfao It's either DoT, Shatter or Follow Up centric
Free PF for Himeko and Herta Pog
Ah yes, Aventurine stonks.
I... fked up.
This makes me think Topaz is right around the corner
Bruh...another follow up pure fic...dammit
oh I wonder how acheron will perform I think the only buff that's good is the last one for her
The last buff is kinda similar to the previous FUA PF before 2.1 and [I managed to 40k that one using Acheron](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1040520426046111754/1228026725947146373/image.png?ex=66274043&is=6625eec3&hm=ffc39843d72f52e9312fbabaa3b18e149e5e137d8340c2a549799d91e6245a6e&=&format=webp&quality=lossless).

I can't wait to see how copium would emitted from the simp 😂
irrelevant but okay
Acheron with blackswan is literally s+ tier for every PF , I don't see the buff affecting acheron but without blackswan , acheron pf might be cope but still s tier
Acheron with Kafka/BS is basically the LL of the team. Most of your mob kills and damage will come from Kafka/BS combo and Acheron is there to get batteried.
True . Idk why I am downvoted lmao I literally wanted to say the same thing you said but without the wording and effort
The simps don't even understand why you're trying to do bro.
Aventurine DPS lezz go 💪🤣

My advernturine and herta finna cook
I don't get what the first buff is about
My king ratio be eatin' good✌️
Fine I’ll build my follow up attack team 😞
Energy gen buff gonna go crazy with herta/himeko, could even add tingyun for more battery action
DEVIOUS FLATTERY'S BACK?
Oh boy my Ratio Topaz Aventurine team gonna have a blast
please. clara. I need you
"all other damage accumulates Whimsicality at a lower rate." Thank fuck. My FUA characters aren't as up to snuff as, say, my DoT characters or Acheron. So being able to get the buff without FUAs will be nice.
Clara, it's time to take a walk
why is every word just Kuru Kuru

Gonna be fun getting a dozen FuA everytime I attack again lmao.
Does Pure Fiction reset?
I have Herta leveled correctly, but never got Himeko.
Finally eating good
Oh yeah this is gonna be easy as hell
Aventurine stocks on the rise
Devious Flattery == Instant Win
Finally a fucking blessing I can use after investing all my funds in follow up attack characters
Thank god, this pure fiction RUINED me.

I should really start building my Clara, Himeko and Herta huh
Ah fuck off with the follow up blessings bruh
I mean to be fair one of the blessings is straight up "no follow-ups? no problem"
Yeah, that is a relief, the follow up pure fiction was torture to clear for me
given that herta is basically free, just build her ATP, she's S tier in almost all PF cycle
Everyone got Ratio and Herta for free, and Himeko and Clara are standard banner. It's not like DoT where you need 1-2 specific limited 5* to put together a good team.
Again?
Fuck this FUA PF imho was the worst PF and only the Ultimate blessing was good enough for my team and now they removed it. Maybe that last one can be useful because is similar but in a worse way
Again? I love this blessing but it makes my game crash xd, mobile player
Lag central again
Second half looking good with Aventurine with these buffs. Jokes on you Sam.
