Before discussing the best teams for Honkai Star Rail 3.7 Pure Fiction, let us take a look at the various buff effects that players can utilize:

• Exposition: During the "Surging Grit" phase, all DoT dealt by ally targets ignores 20% of the enemies' All-Type RES. Furthermore, whenever an enemy recieves any DoT, the DoT dealt by all allies is increased by 1%. This can stack up to a total of 99 times.
• Torn Fabric: While in the "Surging Grit" phase, each stack of "Echo Enigma" increases allies' Weakness Break Efficiency by 10%.
• Cinnabar Inscirption: Every stack of "Echo Enigma" possessed increases the damage that enemies receive by 3%. While "Surging Grit" is ongoing, one stack of "Echo Enigma" is gained whenever a memosprite attacks.

Grit Value increases by 2 every time an enemy receives DoT damage. When the overall Grit Value reaches 100, the "Surging Grit" phase is initiated.

Best Node 1 teams for Syntax Rule (IV)

1) Kafka, Black Swan, Hysilens, Huohuo

Since the main buff for this rotation of Pure Fiction utilizes DoT damage, a premium DoT team with Kafka, Black Swan, and Hysilens (with Huohuo as support) is the best choice for clearing Node 1. All enemies in this Node either have Lightning or/and Physical and Wind weaknesses, enabling this team to defeat them the fastest. Kafka and Hysilens are an excellent DoT duo, and it is recommended to add them both to the team for an easy clear. Huohuo can be replaced with free Sustain Dan Heng Permansor Terrae, in case you don't have her.

Use the Exposition buff for this team.

2) Firefly, Fugue, Ruan Mei, Lingsha

A Break team with Firefly as main DPS can also be used to clear this node. While almost all enemies in Node 1 are weak to fire, Firefly can implant Fire weaknesses on the ones that are not, making her an ideal pick for this stage. Ruan Mei provides Firefly with an additional 50% Weakness Break Efficiency, thus letting her dish out massive amounts of damage and clear the multiple enemy waves swiftly. Players who don't own Lingsha can replace her with 4-star Sustain Gallagher.

Use the Torn Fabric buff for this team.

3) Aglaea, Sunday, Cyrene, Hyacine

Aglaea is an excellent AoE DPS unit who can be used to clear enemies in Node 1 of Honkai Star Rail 3.7 Pure Fiction. With constant advances from Sunday – coupled with Cyrene's special buffs – Aglaea (and her memosprite) can quickly wipe out all enemies in this node. Cyrene is one of Aglaea's current best supports, and it is recommended to use her in this team for increasing Aglaea's overall DMG output. Hyacine can be replaced with Dan Heng Permansor Terrae, in case you don't have her.

Make sure to use the Cinnabar Inscription buff for this team.

Best Node 2 teams for Syntax Rule (IV)

1) Castorice, Evernight, Cyrene, Hyacine

A team with Castorice as the main DPS and Evernight as sub-DPS (flanked by the current best Remembrance team support Cyrene) is the best choice for clearing Node 2 using the least amount of cycles. Castorice's premium team is capable of whittling down Lygus' multiple-HP bar very swiftly, even though this enemy does not have a dedicated Quantum weakness. Hyacine is the best Healer unit for this team, but can be replaced by Luocha or Gallagher, in case players don't own her.

Use the Cinnabar Inscription buff for this team.

2) Phainon, Sunday, Cerydra, Dan Heng Permansor Terrae

Each and every single enemy in Node 2 has a Physical weakness, making a Phainon hypercarry team one of the most optimal picks for clearing this node in the shortest amount of time possible. Focus on advancing Phainon using Sunday's Skill, while also making sure that Cerydra constantly keeps buffing him, allowing him to immediately use his Meteor strike twice when entering his Khaslana form.

Use the Torn Fabric buff for this team.

3) The Herta, Anaxa, Tribbie, Hyacine

You can also use a dual DPS team of The Herta and Anaxa to clear Node 2 of Honkai Star Rail 3.7 Pure Fiction. Both The Ascended and Lygus have Ice weaknesses, which The Herta can take advantage of. She is one of the best AoE DPS units currently in game, and her attacks can be very useful in taking out the multiple enemy waves in each battle. Hyacine can be replaced by Dan Heng Permansor Terrae, in case you don't have her on your character roster.

Use the Torn Fabric buff for this team.
