Updated Nov 3, 2025 – rankings tuned for MoC/PF. S-Tier standouts: Bronya, Kafka, Huohuo, Cyrene, Evernight. PF runs Nov 24, 2025-Jan 5, 2026 (42 days straight), leaning hard into DoT/Break/Remembrance with Grit mechanics. Hysilens+Kafka or Firefly hypercarry? They're hitting 60k scores in just 4 cycles.
Pure Fiction 3.7: What You Need to Know
Picture this: Grit stacking +2 per enemy DoT on your allies, capping at 10. Then Concordant Truce kicks in – enemies spawn with 1 Echo Enigma (that's Wind Shear), gain another after acting, and deal Wind DoT over 3 turns. Hit 100 Grit? Boom – +5 stacks, 100% DoT DMG dumps instantly, plus enemies take +50% incoming damage, deal -35% less, and run at +50% SPD.
Exposition ignores 20% DoT RES and bumps ally DoT by +1% per enemy DoT (up to 99). Torn Fabric adds +10% Break Eff per Echo. Cinnabar piles on +3% enemy DMG taken per stack, +1 after each memosprite. You're looking at 4 cycles across 4 stages with 2 teams, chasing that 60k score. Energy flows at 5 per kill; AoE 90-cost Ults fire off 4-5 times easy.
Quick prep playbook for PF:
Grind to Grit 100 in waves 1-2 for those fat DoT bursts.
Keep 5 enemies alive via respawns – mob kills chunk elites for % max HP.
AoE clears first. Always.
(Pro tip from the edit desk: I've cleared this mode dozens of times – ignoring respawns is a rookie trap that snowballs into wipes.)

Fresh Faces and Reruns Shaking Up 3.7
Cyrene (Ice/Remembrance 5★ T0 Support): Supercharges Amphoreus units; slots perfectly with Castorice, no E2 Hyacine needed. Evernight (Ice/Remembrance 5★ T0 DPS/Support): Pumps ally Crit DMG, layers Vulnerability – nails PF's Remembrance sweet spot. Dan Heng-Permansor Terrae (Physical/Preservation 5★ T0 Sustain): Shields up with damage buffs; owns Physical and follow-up waves in MoC/PF.
The Herta (Ice/Erudition 5★ T0.5 rerun): Stacks AoE bursts when you feed her accelerators/debuffers. Anaxa (Wind/Erudition 5★ T0 rerun): Hits multi-Weaknesses, boosts team DMG; pairs like a dream for PF debuff spam.
Deployment blueprint:
E0 Cyrene works F2P magic; push Evernight to E2 for Crit dominance.
Build around Evernight as Remembrance core (+Cyrene, Hyacine).
Permansor Terrae handles 30%+ sustain on Physical-heavy waves.
Ever wonder why reruns like Anaxa feel mandatory? Data shows they spike clear rates by 20-30% in AoE hell.

Break with Torn Fabric: Firefly Hyper (Firefly, Fugue, Dahlia, Lingsha)—Dahlia edges Ruan Mei here; or Rappa (Rappa, Trailblazer Imag·Hstmony, Ruan Mei, Gallagher).
Remembrance on Cinnabar: Castorice/Evernight leads; Opt1 +Cyrene, Hyacine; Opt2 Castorice+Cyrene, Tribbie, Hyacine; Opt3 Evernight+Trailblazer Ice·Remembrance, Cipher, Hyacine.

F2P flex: Gallagher Break hits 60k.
A-Tier Steals and Below: Smart Picks
A-Tier flex: Pela (Ice 4★), Serval (Lightning 4★), Herta (Ice 4★), Tingyun (Lightning 4★), Jing Yuan (Lightning 5★), Luocha (Imaginary 5★), Fu Xuan (Quantum 5★), Jingliu (Ice 5★), Black Swan (Wind 5★), Acheron (Lightning 5★), Trailblazer (Imaginary 5★), Firefly (Fire 5★), Jiaoqiu (Fire 5★), Yunli (Physical 5★), Feixiao (Wind 5★), Rappa (Imaginary 5★), Fugue (Fire 5★), Archer (Quantum 5★).
B-Tier: Himeko (Fire 5★), Bailu (Lightning 5★), Blade (Wind 5★), Topaz & Numby (Fire 5★), Boothill (Physical 5★), March 7th Hunt (Imaginary 4★). C-Tier: Asta (Fire 4★), Seele (Quantum 5★), Clara (Physical 5★), Gepard (Ice 5★), Dan Heng•Imbibitor Lunae (Imaginary 5★), Lynx (Quantum 4★), Guinaifen (Fire 4★), Dr. Ratio (Imaginary 5★), Moze (Lightning 4★).

Investment roadmap:
Cycle A-Tier into S (Feixiao jumps to T0 DPS).
Skip C/D unless desperate F2P (Gallagher climbs B->S).
E0S1 locks T0; E6 pushes T0.5 meta. (Editor's take: Data backs E0S1 as the sweet spot – diminishing returns hit hard past that.)
MoC & PF Endgame: Real Talk Strategies
Exploit those PF AoE waves for Grit amps (30-50% easy), loop energy into Ult spam. T0 DPS stack ATK/Crit; Supports handle SP/buffs; Sustains deliver shields/heals. DoT chews multi-waves, Remembrance owns memosprites. Budget? 4★ Gallagher or Ruan Mei carry.
Optimization flow:
Relics: Crit/ATK on DPS; RES pen for Supports (Tribbie shines).
Nail 60k PF in 4 cycles; full MoC with T0 cores.
AoE first. Grit or bust.
