Pure Fiction Stage 4: Stage Intel
Before jumping into team setups and tactics, understanding the battlefield is key. Pure Fiction Stage 4, known as Clichéd Sayings IV, presents unique challenges in both halves. Let’s dissect the essential information.
Pure Fiction Stage 4 Breakdown
| Clear Target | ♦ Achieve 30000 Points |
|---|---|
| Objectives | ♦ Reach 40000 Points ♦ Reach 50000 Points ♦ Maximize at 60000 Points |
Your primary goal is to rack up points by defeating waves of enemies efficiently. Reaching 60000 points unlocks all rewards, making optimized team composition and strategic play crucial.
Elemental Weaknesses: Clichéd Sayings IV
Understanding enemy weaknesses is paramount for maximizing damage output and clearing stages quickly. Stage 4 is divided into two halves, each with distinct elemental vulnerabilities:
| Clichéd Sayings IV |
|---|
| First Half |
| Second Half |
For the first half, focus on teams leveraging Quantum damage. The second half demands Physical damage dealers to exploit enemy vulnerabilities effectively.
Pure Fiction Grit Mechanics and Stage Duration
The Pure Fiction game mode introduces the Grit Mechanic, a unique system that significantly impacts gameplay. Understanding and utilizing it is vital for success in Stage 4.
| Clichéd Sayings Grit Mechanic |
|---|

| Surging Grit Unleashed |
| Phase Duration |
The Grit mechanic encourages Ultimate usage and fast enemy elimination. Build teams that can quickly generate Ultimates and capitalize on the Surging Grit phase for massive damage. The phase duration indicates the event’s timeframe, ensuring you have ample time to tackle Stage 4.

| First Half |
|---|
| Luocha |
| Black Swan |
First Half Focus: Quantum and Lightning Characters
For the initial phase, prioritize characters dealing Quantum or Lightning damage to exploit enemy weaknesses effectively. Quantum characters like Seele and Qingque, or Lightning powerhouses such as Kafka, will excel here.
| Second Half |
|---|
| Trailblazer |
| Rappa |
Second Half Focus: Physical and Ice Characters
For the latter half, Physical and Ice characters are your strongest assets. Consider Clara, Argenti, or Ice-focused Trailblazer builds to maximize your damage against enemies in this phase.
Mastering Stage 4 – Clichéd Sayings: Battle Tactics
Beyond team composition, understanding enemy behavior and prioritizing targets is crucial for efficiently clearing Pure Fiction Stage 4. Let’s break down the strategic approach for each half.
Stage 4 – First Half: Combat Strategy
Wave 1: Target Automaton Beetles First
In the initial wave, Automaton Beetles are the primary threat. Focus your attacks to eliminate them swiftly. Their ability to shield themselves and allies can significantly hinder your progress if left unchecked.
If a Beetle activates its shield, use weaker attacks to break it down before unleashing your heavy hitters. This ensures maximum damage output and prevents prolonged battles.
Wave 2: Prioritize Furiae Warriors
Wave 2 introduces Furiae Warriors, known for inflicting the Reverberation debuff. Make these enemies your priority targets.
Alternatively, characters capable of removing buffs can strip the Furiae Warrior’s War Armor stacks, turning the Reverberation debuff against them. This tactical approach can control enemy actions and protect your team.
Stage 4 – Second Half: Combat Strategy
Wave 2: Eliminate Wraith Wardens Quickly
In the second half’s Wave 2, Wraith Wardens are the key threat. They, like Furiae Warriors, can inflict Reverberation. Focus your attacks to neutralize them quickly and minimize debuff application on your team.
Wave 3: Focus Argenti Summons
Wave 3 features Argenti and his summons: The Honored and Speartip. Prioritize eliminating these summons. Defeating The Honored grants a DMG boost, while eliminating Speartip deals damage to all enemies, significantly accelerating wave clear speed.
