by Ruan Mei is undoubtedly an incredible character from the Honkai Star Rail Harmony Track , she is the first 5-star promotional character introduced for this track, which is one of the most powerful in the game.
Now in this guide you will see in more detail all the stat increases that this character can provide to the team, which is not bad at all. But what makes her stand out quite a bit from the rest of the characters on the track is that she is a character that also greatly enhances the efficiency of our team’s Weakness Break (it will be easier to reduce their weakness bar) and the more Break Effect she has, the more it will boost your team (much of your kit revolves around Weakness Break).
In addition, it has a peculiar mechanic in which Ruan Mei will cause additional Break Damage when a teammate performs a break (in addition to other interesting effects that we will see below), making her a character intended for support that also causes a good damage… so well, a 2×1 we could say. He also has an ability only valid for the Simulated Universe that is quite powerful.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Ruan Mei will have at the highest level:
- HP: 1087
- ATK: 660
- DEF: 485
- SPD: 104
- Taunt: 100
Ruan Mei’s statistics are not too surprising, as is often the case with other characters in the Path of Harmony. His health is somewhat low, while his Defense and Speed are decent. Of course, it is true that for a Harmony character, she has a good amount of Attack.
RUAN MEI’S SKILLS
These are all of Ruan Mei’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are the ones at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: ORCHID NEEDLE
- Energy Recovery: 20
- Weakness Break: 30
Deal 50% Ice Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC SKILL: STRINGS SING WITH GENTLE TWISTS
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
- Energy Recovery: 30
When used, Ruan Mei gains “Overtone” for 3 turns. While “Overtone” is active, increases the damage of the entire team by 16% and the efficiency of Weakness Break (you will further reduce enemies’ Weakness bar) by 50%.
ULTIMATE SKILL: DELICATE FLOWER ON WATER
- Energy Cost: 130
- Energy Recovery: 5
Increases the RES Penetration of all items on the entire team (which means they do more damage) by 15% for 2 turns.
When an enemy tries to recover from a Weakness Break state, Ruan Mei will activate “Broken Plum Blossoms”, this prolongs the enemy’s Weakness Break state and will delay their action by 20% of Ruan Mei’s Break Effect + an additional 10%. In addition to this, when this occurs, Ruan Mei will deal 30% Ice Breaking Damage. This can only occur once per Weakness Break.
TALENT: SOMATOTYPIC SPIRAL
+8% SPD to the entire team except Ruan Mei. When breaking an enemy’s weakness, Ruan Mei will deal damage equal to 60% of their Break Damage (Ruan Mei’s will be Ice Break Damage).
TECHNIQUE: SILKY SERENADE
When the battle begins, we will apply the effect of the Basic Skill without consuming action points.
In the Simulated Universe this ability powers much more . When activating it, regardless of which character starts a battle (attacking while out of battle I mean), it will always be considered as hitting all enemies to their weakness. It also increases the damage to firmness by 100% for each blessing we have (come on, we can practically say that we will break the weakness of all enemies) and in addition, Ruan Mei will deal additional damage equivalent to 100% of her Break Damage of Weakness.
TRACE SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Traces when we reach a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Inert Breathing
- +20% Break Effect to all allies.
- Ascension Level 4 – Reveries of the Past
- Ruan Mei recovers 5 energy points at the start of her turn.
- Ascension Level 6 – Candles on Water
- In battle, if Ruan Mei’s Break Effect is greater than 120%, her damage increased by the Basic Skill will be increased by 6% for every 10% Break Effect above 120%, up to a maximum of 36% increased damage ( to reach this you would have to have 180% Break Effect ).
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – Neural Embroidery : If the Ultimate is active, the damage dealt by the entire party ignores 20% of the enemies’ DEF.
- E2 – Walk through the Reeds : Increases the ATK of allies who attack enemies with Weakness Break by 40%.
- E3 – Dressed in Emerald Brocade : +2 levels to the Ultimate Skill and Talent.
- E4 – Shimmering Luminosity : Affecting an enemy with Weakness Break, increases Ruan Mei’s Break Effect by 100% for 3 turns.
- E5 – Fork of Exquisite Craftsmanship : +2 levels to Basic Skill and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E6 – Hidden behind the Fan : Increases the duration of the Ultimate by one turn and increases the Break Damage multiplier of the talent by an additional 200%.
RUAN MEI’S BEST BUILD
A rather peculiar build since in your case what you need most is to collect all the Break Effect you can . Attack and Damage will also be interesting to increase your Break Damage. Of course, we’ll ignore crit stats since ruptures can’t crit.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Asta ordered from best to worst (they are all highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5 star and 4 star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
My Past in the Mirror
+60% Break Effect. +24% Damage to allies for 3 turns after using the Ultimate and if the user’s Break Effect is greater than 150%, one point of Basic Skill is recovered. At the start of each wave, allies recover 10 energy points.
Image in Memory
+28% to the wearer’s Break effect. After attacking, the user of this Cone of Light recovers 4 additional energy points (can only be activated 1 time per turn)
To dance!
Advances the action of all allies by 16% when using the Ultimate Skill.
Sculpt the Moon and Weave the Clouds
At the beginning of the battle and at the beginning of the turn of the wearer of this Cone of Light, one of the following random effects will be activated to bonus the group (these effects are not cumulative and will change each time the turn of the user of this Cone of Light arrives). Light): +10% ATK. +12% CRIT Damage. +6% Energy Recovery.
Planetary Meeting
When a character deals Elemental Damage of the same type as the wielder of this Cone of Light, the damage dealt is increased by 12%.
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. These are the statistics that we recommend for each piece in order to maximize its damage.
- Torso : HP% or DEF%.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Plane Sphere : PV% or DEF%.
- Binding Rope : Breaking Effect or Energy Recovery.
The substats:
- Break Effect.
- VEL.
- RES to Effect.
- PV%.
- DEF %.
His best Artifact Sets are without a doubt the following:
Meteor Trail Thief
- 2 pieces: Break Effect +16%.
- 4 pieces: The Break Effect of the wearer of this artifact set is increased by 16%. When its user manages to inflict a break on an enemy, they will recover 3 energy points.
We want Break Effect for a tube, so this is the best possible Set . In addition, it will also help us recharge energy, something that is also great for us to be able to launch the Ultimate more often.
And now your best Ornament Set:
Talia, Outlaws’ Paradise
- 2 pieces: +16% Break Effect and +20% additional Break Effect if Speed is greater than 145.
It shouldn’t surprise you, same thing, Breakup Effect for a tube. Don’t get too obsessed with the issue of reaching 145 VEL because this is a very high amount. It would be ideal to get there, but if you don’t get it, nothing happens.
BEST TEAMS
Ruan Mei is a Harmony character that can fit into any team since she provides great support to her entire team and also has very good damage for a support character.
I would like to highlight, however, that since he brings so many benefits to Weakness Break, he is a character that works extremely well on typical Damage Over Time based teams ; Although as I said, you can really put her on any team and she will do an incredible job.
These are some of the characters he gets along best with:
Kafka
Lots of DoTs damage. Deals more damage based on his and his teammates’ DoTs. Perform additional attacks.
Xueyi
The ultimate ignores the target’s type of weakness and lowers its Strength. Gains a charge when an ally lowers an enemy’s Steadiness. After gaining a certain number of charges, launch an additional attack.
Jingliu
Incredible Single Target and Multi Target Damage. Maintaining your enhanced state requires a lot of energy. Drains team health.
Imbibitor Lunae
Impressive Single Target and Multi Target Damage. It consumes many Action Points (its Ultimate allows us to alleviate this aspect a bit). It self-boosts.
Blade
When you lose HP multiple times, you automatically deal damage to all enemies. Consumes HP to use a more powerful skill.
Sampo
Specialized in Wind DoTs. Great application of DoTs in area. Increases the DoT damage that enemies receive.
