Himeko

Clara
|
If you're looking for good offensive support, Bronya is a good pick from the selection. She can significantly boost damage and allow an ally to take their turn again with increased damage.
Himeko is another good choice if you want a DPS that can clear multiple enemies with her follow-up attack and multi-hitting skill and ultimate, which is good for PF. Clara is also a good pick if you want a physical DPS to clear MoC with.

Bronya is the top choice when picking from the 5-Star Character selector as she is an amazing support for DPS characters. She can advance forward with her skill and increase all allies' ATK and CRIT DMG using her Ultimate.
If you already have her, you can choose to get her again for her E1. This will allow her to manage your SP better as there's a chance to recover your SP when she uses her skill.

Clara is a tanky DPS that specializes in inflicting damage through her counterattacks. She's particularly good against enemies that have high SPD or can do multiple actions in one turn. A great example to use Clara in is against Hoolay.
For clearing MoC, she's a really good pick as a main DPS or a Sub DPS against enemies weak to Physical attacks since she can attack during the enemy's turn. Getting her to E2 is definitely a good investment for the 30% ATK after using her Ultimate.

If you're looking to clear Pure Fiction, then Himeko is the best choice. She's an excellent Main DPS against multiple enemies and every time you break an enemy 3x, you can trigger her follow-up attack that deals AoE damage.
Pair her up with Herta and you'll see a lot of follow-up attacks that can carry you through Pure Fiction with Ice and Fire weaknesses. If you can get her to E4, you will be able to consistently do her follow-up attack.
