Key Takeaways:

  • Ruan Mei is the only character in the game who can provide break efficiency to her team, resulting in 50% more damage output.
  • With the advent of super breaks, the four-piece Watch Maker set has become more valuable, especially when paired with Harmony, Try Blazer, and a DPS like Firefly.
  • Ruan Mei’s energy demands are high, requiring an ER substat and an energy light cone to ensure three-turn burst uptime.
  • Fleet of the Hess is the best-in-slot PL ornament for Ruan Mei, but specialist sets like Keill and Penacon can outperform it in specific team compositions.

Building Ruan Mei:

Ruan Mei’s optimal build focuses on maximizing her break effect and energy regeneration. HP and defense substats are preferred, along with speed boots and an energy rope. Her HP should be between 3,700 and 5,000, defense around 1,000, and speed at least 134. Break effect should be at least 100%, and energy regeneration should be 19.44%.

Team Compositions:

Firefly, Harmon MC, and Gallagher are the best team members to pair with Ruan Mei, as they can fully utilize her buffs and abilities. Kafka Black Swan is another strong team that benefits greatly from Ruan Mei’s support. Jingu, while self-sufficient in terms of attack, can still benefit from the buffs provided by Ruan Mei. Overall, Ruan Mei fits well into a variety of team compositions and significantly improves damage output.
