HSR Pure Fiction 3.0 Erudition Tier List: The Herta S-Tier Dominates

Go with The Herta (S-tier) for those elite clears that demand perfection. Jade and Himeko (both A-tier) shine in AoE wave spam. Herta? She's C-tier overall but a mode beast. Hitting 100 Grit Value? That's your ticket to 30-50% DMG amp. Aim for 75% CR, 135+ SPD on relics and stats—plus killer teams and stage plays—dropping November 24, 2025.

Pure Fiction Basics: Why Erudition Eats Waves for Breakfast

Picture this: Pure Fiction's all about Erudition characters blasting AoE across wave after wave of multi-target chaos. Nail those clears, and Whimsicality kicks in—5 energy per enemy downed, fueling your Ultimates like crazy. Stack to 100 Grit, and boom: 30-50% team DMG amp, 30% DoT boost, even extra SP. Pro tip? Rush it early by popping Illumination Dragonfish, Grunts, and Automaton Spiders first.

How Scoring Works—and Why Speed Matters

Erudition crushes Ice, Fire, and Quantum weakness stages. You need 135+ SPD for action economy dominance, 80% Effect Hit Rate for debuffs that stick, and 75% CR to burst hard. Break it down: Stack speedy leads at 135+ SPD. Sub in 80% EHR. Then cycle Ultimates once Grit hits 100. Simple, right? But execution's everything.

Pure Fiction vs. Memory of Chaos: Night and Day

Forget MoC's HP-scaling boss marathons—Pure Fiction runs on Grit, with 3.0's Evernight enemies packing denser waves. Erudition? It feasts here. Herta's Follow-ups shred weakened packs that MoC bosses just shrug off. (Ever wonder why some modes feel tailor-made for certain paths? This is one.)

What's New in Pure Fiction 3.0—and Erudition's Glow-Up

Dropping November 24, 2025, with 600 Jade Feathers up for grabs. Ties into HSR 3.0 (January 15, 2024) bringing The Herta and Jade's rerun (July 10, 2024). Version 3.6 ramps Evernight with HP-scaling that juices Erudition AoE; 3.2 (May 2025) cements The Herta as S-tier. Prep like this: Watch official drops pre-November 24. Hoard Erudition relics. Test squads in practice cycles. Herta even snags 40% Technique ATK. Eurogamer's 3.2 take: C-tier generalist, S-tier Pure Fiction kingpin. Beebom calls her F2P gold.

How We Ranked Erudition Characters

We score on AoE DPS, Grit cycling sync, and raw clear speed against elites and mobs. S-tier demands 75% CR, 150% CD, 2.5k+ ATK, hitting 135+ SPD benchmarks. Process: Sim 100 Grit clears. Benchmark stage bosses. Tweak for Ice/Fire/Quantum breaks. Eurogamer 3.2 data puts The Herta at the top for Pure Fiction.

DPS Benchmarks That Hit Hard

Elite Erudition? 30-50% Surging Grit DMG amp is the flex. Himeko and Herta lead multi-target DPS charts. The Herta? Maxes Talent, Skill, Ult, and Enhanced Skill on big targets.

Team Synergy: Where the Magic Happens

Double up Erudition—like The Herta + Jade—for buff overload. (My take as an editor who's simmed hundreds: This combo's a score multiplier you can't ignore.)

S-Tier: The Herta, Pure Fiction's Ice Queen

The Herta owns S-tier Ice DPS for these waves—3.0 Emanator AoE nukes elites. Eurogamer 3.2 agrees, loving her Jade pairing. Build it: 4pc Scholar Lost in Erudition (8% CR, 20% Skill/Ult DMG). 2pc Izumo Gense/Takama Divine Realm (12% ATK, 12% CR). Light Cone Into the Unreachable Veil (12% CR, 60% Skill/Ult DMG). Max traces for burst city.

A-Tier: Jade and Himeko, Your Wave-Wreckers

Jade (Quantum A-tier) and Himeko (Fire A-tier) as sub-DPS or support gold. Jade's multi-target Quantum needs The Herta to pop off; Himeko's AoE versatility rules anywhere. Both A-tier per Eurogamer 3.2. Jade build: 4pc Ashblazing Grand Duke + Duran. CR Body, ATK% Feet/Sphere/Rope (sub CR>CD>ATK>SPD). LC Yet Hope is Priceless for low-HP spikes. Himeko thrives in Lightning/Fire waves—like Stage 4 2nd Half with Kafka/Guinafen.

Himeko shines against exploding foes. Stage 4 2nd Half? Pair her with Fire Trailblazer.

Herta in niches: Stage 3 2nd Half loves Herta + Ruan Mei/Fu Xuan/Luocha. Stage 4 1st Half: Herta + Argenti/Jingliu.

B-Tier and Lower: Herta's F2P Redemption Arc

Herta's C-tier overall—but Pure Fiction's F2P core via Follow-ups on beat-up enemies. Hit 75% CR, 150% CD, 2.5k ATK. Steps: 4pc Ashblazing Grand Duke (or Hunter Glacial Forest). 2pc Inert Salsotto (or Rutilant Arena). LC Night on the Milky Way. 40% ATK Technique pre-fight. F2P squad: Herta + Gallagher + Trailblazer Remembrance + any 4-star.

High-Score Teams That Deliver

Double Erudition cores rule: Himeko + Ruan Mei + Luocha for Herta swaps. The Herta + Jade + Robin + Lingsha races to Grit. Blueprint: 135+ SPD lead DPS. Ruan Mei for SPD/DMG/Break buffs. Luocha/Lingsha/Huohuo sustain. Examples? Herta + Jade + Tribbie + Lingsha. The Herta + Jade/Serval + Robin/Sunday + Sustain. F2P: Herta + universal buffers.

Max Talent/Skill/Ult/Enhanced Skill traces. LC picks: Night on the Milky Way (Herta), signatures. Stats: CR > CD > ATK > SPD. Thresholds: 75/150/2.5k.

Rotations and Tricks for Leaderboards

Post-100 Grit, unleash bursts with that 30-50% amp. Opener: Technique (40% ATK). Whimsicality energy for Ult loops. Exploit Ice (Stage 3/4), Fire/Lightning (Stage 4) weaknesses. Stage 3 2nd: Ice Erudition spam. Stage 4 1st: Multi-physical/Ice focus.
