Best strategies for Honkai Star Rail 3.5 Pure Fiction

When starting each Node, try to eliminate the adversaries as quickly as possible until the boss shows up. Additionally, ensure you get enough Points in the first half so that you will be guaranteed to finish the stage with three stars. To be on the safer side, try to get at least 30,000 Points during Node 1.

This will boost your chances of securing three stars in the particular Stage. If you get the aforementioned points before the boss appears, you don't need to defeat them. In the second node of each Stage, follow the same fighting pattern as you did during Node 1.

Moreover, make sure to keep all of your characters healthy, as some enemies, especially the bosses, tend to hit hard. If you have a good team featuring the right units, you can easily get the maximum rewards without defeating the main boss of each Stage.
