Most Beloved Characters
Prydwen.gg has compiled this ranking based on the appearance rates of characters in Fantasy Narration Tier 4 lineups. The ranking, from high to low, is as follows:
- Ruan Mei
- Tingyyun
- Bronya
- Fu Xuan
- Jingliu
- Pela
- Luocha
- Kafka
- Himeko
- Jing Yuan
As evident, Knowledge-type characters dominate this list. Argenti falls just short of the top 10, possibly because players haven't optimized his stats yet. Nevertheless, he appears in 23.47% of Tier 4 lineups, meaning 1 in 4 players includes Argenti.

However, when ranking based on the scores characters help players achieve, we get a significantly different order. The sequence, from high to low, is as follows:
- Argenti
- Herta
- Ruan Mei
- Hanya
- Tingyun
- Himeko
- Fu Xuan
- Huohuo
- Asta
- Luocha
The current top Ice DPS, Jingliu, doesn't make it to this top 10 because she doesn't deal AOE (5-target) damage, only Scatter (3-target). Similarly, Clara doesn't break into the top 10 despite the upper Tier 4 enemies having Physical weaknesses. Nevertheless, both are highly favored and outscore other limited DPS like Blade, Jing Yuan, or even Dan Heng Yin Yue.

It's intriguing that only a few gamers recognize Seele's potential in Fantasy Narration. Despite being a Single Target shooter, Seele's ability to continue actions after defeating an enemy makes her quite stable in environments with many foes. Additionally, Seele can generate strategic points while refreshing her own turns.

Now, let's discover the teams worthy of your trust for consistently high scores in this new game mode.
- Argenti, Ruan Mei, Tingyun, Huohuo: Simply the strongest lineup in the current Fantasy Narration, averaging nearly 40,000 points for players – almost slaying the boss outright. Tingyun is extremely useful, providing energy recharge for Argenti's ultimate.
- Argenti, Ruan Mei, Tingyun, Herta: If enemies perish before they act, you won't need a healer in the team. This is the option for those who have well-built Herta and Argenti.
- Argenti, Jingliu, Ruan Mei, Huohuo: Ruan Mei's ability to buff the entire team makes dual-carry teams stronger than ever. Huohuo's small heals also ensure peace of mind for Jingliu's 'blood-selling.'

- Himeko, Herta/Jing Yuan, Asta, Ruan Mei: Although not 5-star limited DPS, Himeko rises swiftly in this new mode's official launch. You'll notice this team doesn't need a healer thanks to the AOE capabilities and relentless follow-up attacks of the DPS units.
- Kafka, Himeko, Serval, Ruan Mei: An excellent team for the lower half of Tier 4 to wipe out the feared Fire and Lightning mobs here.
- Himeko, Ruan Mei, Tingyun, Fu Xuan: It's time for Himeko to take the lead. All other characters in this lineup are chosen to help Himeko spam her powerful AOE attacks abundantly.

- Herta, Pela, Ruan Mei, Tingyun: This lineup consistently freezes opponents, making it safer than anticipated. Additionally, it's budget-friendly – only Ruan Mei is a 5-star character; the rest are 4-star.
- Blade, Herta, Ruan Mei, Luocha: Combining Blade's blood-selling with Herta's AOE yields an average score above 34,000, enough for a 3-star when paired with a similarly robust team in the other half of Tier 4.
- Argenti, Jingliu, Herta, Huohuo: A lineup needing no buffs, just unexpected damage, born from Fantasy Narration's scoring mechanism. Check how to build Herta for this mode here.

- Clara, Jingliu, Tingyun, Huohuo: Finally, we found a physical team that isn't Argenti. Here, Svarog is buffed to the max, and little Clara can deliver immense damage.
After reviewing these lineups, readers may notice that many gamers have abandoned healer/shielder characters. The reason is that Fantasy Narration doesn't penalize you for having non-combat characters; it only scores based on performance. Learn more about how Fantasy Narration operates here.
