The recent updates in Honkai Star Rail, particularly the 3.1 version, have rejuvenated end-game activities—most notably with the new challenge, Pure Fiction. This event necessitates players to revisit previously conquered stages, where they will be rewarded based on their performance. Given the introduction of fresh challenges, Trailblazers may be curious about the optimal team compositions to excel in this endeavor.
This guide explores the stage buffs available in the Honkai Star Rail 3.1 update and recommends the best team setups for tackling the Pure Fiction stage aptly named Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
Optimal Team Setups for Honkai Star Rail 3.1 Pure Fiction
Before diving into the Pure Fiction stage, players should select from the following buffs:
- Evince: Allies dealing Shatter damage during Surging Grit will inflict immediate Shatter damage on enemies.
- Gnosis: Enemies suffer 30% increased Break damage while Surging Grit is active. Eliminating foes with Shatter causes adjacent enemies to incur 10 Toughness damage, irrespective of their Weakness Type.
- Sanity: Allies using their Skill while Surging Grit will consume 20% of their current HP, followed by a recovery of 20% of their maximum HP.
With these buffs in mind, here are some effective team compositions for the Pure Fiction event:
The Herta Duo: Herta, Herta, Tribbie, and Lingsha
The dual Herta DPS team proves to be highly advantageous in the 3.1 Pure Fiction environment. Given the Ice elemental vulnerabilities of several foes, both Herta characters can deliver substantial damage. During combat, Tribbie supports the DPS duo, amplifying their damage output with every attack.
Lingsha plays a pivotal role in keeping both DPS characters healthy. With the ability to execute follow-up attacks, this team can effectively utilize the Evince buff. For those preferring a non-sustaining approach, consider substituting Lingsha with RMC and opting for the Sanity buff instead.
Rappa, Fugue, Ruan Mei, and Gallagher
Another effective strategy is to leverage Rappa’s Super Break composition, particularly as some enemies are weak against Imaginary damage. This team boasts excellent synergy, and Gallagher can easily be replaced by Lingsha if you have her at 5 stars.
Rappa, serving as the primary DPS, excels at inflicting damage with the help of Fugue and Ruan Mei, who work to enhance her overall damage potential. Gallagher is crucial in providing healing, ensuring DPS units remain active throughout the event. For this team, selecting the Gnosis buff optimizes effectiveness.
Aglaea, Huohuo, Sunday, and Remembrance Trailblazer
Finally, Aglaea’s Hypercarry team is a formidable choice for the Pure Fiction challenge in Honkai Star Rail 3.1. In battle, Aglaea and her memosprite, Garmentmaker, wreak havoc on adjacent enemies with considerable damage output.
Sunday enhances Aglaea’s abilities, while the Remembrance Trailblazer boosts her capabilities even further. Huohuo stays in the backline, providing healing whenever allies take damage and assisting Aglaea in regaining Ultimate Energy. Frequent skill triggers make Evince an advantageous choice for this team.
For players without Aglaea, consider utilizing the traditional Acheron Hypercarry team comprising Acheron, Pela, Jiaoqiu/SilverWolf, and Aventurine with the same buff.
