The following Buffs are available during the current Pure Fiction Phase:

• Universality
• Paradox
• Divine Score

During the first half you want to focus on the Wraith Warde first, otherwise they can prevent you to take action.

After that you want to get rid of the Trash Can as it gains more ATK each round, and if you leave it up too long it can really cause issues.

Wave 2 take out the Ascended first because they can impair you.

Wave 3 you want to target Argenti's Honored adds first. It is the one with the Rose. When they die they apply one stack of DMG boost to the attacker, which will help you deal more damage and get the other adds down quickly, as well as Argenti.

During Wave 1, focus on the Philosopher first because he can increase other enemies' SPD and DMG, which can quickly become annoying.

Wave 2 take out the Meteoric Eagle first. They can allow other enemies to directly take action, and you do not want the Gryphon to constantly be able to add stacks. Those can make your loose a ton of energy

Wave 3 you want to target the Juvenile Stings first, otherwise they can inflict vulnerability. When the Juvenile Sting die they also inflict DMG to the other enemies, and have a chance to increase the DMG they take.
