Cake! Definitely listened to the whole thing. Funny thing is that my Ruan Mei is already built and I have been using her non-stop since she first came out, so there was no real reason for me to click this video when YT recommended it to me. But for some reason I did anyway and I'm glad I did because your explanations were amazing! Also, I commend you for listing out options for light cones, teams and relic sets instead of just listing out the theoretical BiS and second BiS. This is by far your biggest differential compared to most other cc that I know of and made me immediately sub. Amazing guide overall. I already have Ruan Mei and I maaay consider pulling for her E1 in the future, but currently I'm probably gonna go for her signature - that signature is by far the best light cone in the whole game imo: extremely versatile, does a lot and allows me to give Memories of the Past to harmony trailblazer instead. Incredible value, and I don't want to pass on it again. Thanks for such a fantastic guide!

[@Zarconium]

Cake The only problem with her is that she wants the exact same stuff as Harmony MC, which is especially a pain if you only have one Memories LC

[@eclairgamingtoxoidmusic7402]

Yep this exactly. I don't normally even pull light cones. but since I only have an S3 of the Gacha 4* I need to pull on Ruan Mei's lightcone banner just so her and Harmony MC don't fight. All the destruction characters also want the Herta shop lightcone. The difference is you usually only run 1 destruction character at a time. Whereas Mei and HTB not only run at the same time but on the same team.

[@Noaxid]

I Use memory on ruan mei and use bronya lc on HMC and it work really well . I have around 230% be even without a be lightcone

[@eclairgamingtoxoidmusic7402]

​@@Noaxid so why does that work well though? Am I missing something? She doesn't need energy Regen because of E6. Unless your specifically running firefly you probably don't need the skill points, and being that firefly's been out for like only a day I'd assume you're not talking about that. And my understanding is superbreak is not boosted by damage multiplyers. So the damage gained will be inconsequential.

[@PsQueak2]

🎂🎂🍰🍰I love when little things remind us of specific times in our pasts. Neat little story haha. And thank you for this guide, I started this game right after Ruan Mei's first banner ended, and after looking at all the characters, I thought to myself "Oh. She's pretty. 100% getting that character when she runs." Now we're here. Happy that she's not just pretty, but game changing. I've been waiting for this moment so long, thank the heavens we're finally here.

[@Kortezxero]

I can't say that I was eating cake when I pulled but I did get insanely lucky. I just pulled for both firefly and her lightcone, and had about 20 pulls left. I said screw it, might as well build pity trying to get mei and got her on my first 10 pull. I don't expect anything like that to happen for me for the rest of my time playing this game, but that put a HUGE smile on my face dude.

[@Shane_A_M]

I love the introduction of HTB for her, not only for the obvious super break synergy, but it makes Ruan Mei piss easy to build even when coping with meshing cogs, you will reach 180% break effect no problem when paired with HTB

[@ausaramun]

Cake...also kinda eerie how similar your loss of that 50/50 to mine...I lost to Himeko after 77 pulls and lo and behold I got her after another 77 pulls. Hopefully I don't need to go through all that grind again. lol. Anyways thank you for all that valuable info :D

[@rahulthapa108]

I had pulled Fu Xuan so didn't think I'd get her but well my HSR luck is really better than my genshin luck. Won my 50/50 but also very early only after 20 pity.

[@C41YXXX]

i got E1 ruan mei just pulling randomly after leaving for like 8 months lol and now i'm finding out how cracked she is 💀

[@iznel9083]

To top it off, in teams that use Ruan Mei that isnt Super Break. If you have her light cone too you could also forego using dmg% planar spheres for atk% instead since Ruan Mei gives over 90% dmg bonus already with her light cone, skill and Major Trace passive.

[@bubbletwix]

I did it guys.... I Lost both 50/50 and was able to pull Ruan Mei and Firefly just two days before her event ends....this was pain but I finally can build two good teams for events 😭 What a run

[@araarashinigami]

Ruan Mei is better in Honkai Star Rail than Furina is in Genshin Impact. That's how overcooked she is. But the best part about Ruan Mei is that she's a mommy who doesn't give a damn about MC's consent. :3 E1S1 Ruan Mei is a great break point, right there with E2S1 Acheron and daddy going out for milk. Also, I’ve never heard of Charlotte cake in my life. The best cake is pie. Mmm, pie.

[@games-dan]

The problem with Ruan Mei is she can only be on one team at a time. I’m thinking of pulling Firefly but my main team is Kafka/BS. I’m not sure either team is worth playing without her, so it’s a conundrum. Firefly probably needs her more, I don’t know, maybe I’ll run three DOTs? I don’t have Robin so the next best support for Kafka would have to be Asta, maybe?

[@ImAaronTV]

That's the reason of why i got Robin bc she's like a Ruan Mei 2

[@games-dan]

@@ImAaronTV Yeah, maybe I’ll get Robin on her rerun. There were too many other characters I wanted around the same time to get her the first time.

wanna ask is slow mei reliable in a team that is SP+? from what ive heard speedy mei is generally better but im kinda interested in slow mei.

[@Ife-ju9gy]

cake i believe you only mentioned up to 200% break effect. dumb question, but what would happen if more were to be added, per say 250%+?

[@nyx9924]

It increases the overall dmg she can bring on her skill usage/one ult but not significantly, and truthfully i wouldn't suggest u to do that considering u could focus more on energy recharge after ur mei's break eff reaches 180% ish so u could get her ult a lot faster (her ult is a huge buff for her team so it's literally her biggest value)

[@Kspice9000]

​@@nyx9924one thing that's looked over is Ruan meis rebreak delay is based on her break effect+hmc delay+slows. That being said hitting 180% on her is easy with Old Photo lc and hmc effects. Both of mine are just under 200% but easily to 300% with that lc+watchmaker+Both of their break buffs. FF is 238% and easily hits 360% benchmark.

[@andymtb]

Who doesn't love cake? ;) Tiramisu FTW!

[@OlexiVR]

To be honest, she doesn't really need a lot of speed.

[@logancordeiro9037]

in Firefly’s best team harmony MC is supposed to be in that team with Watchmakers so why would you run that on Ruan mei as well? the 4pc doesn’t stack. also, why run her on broken keel as well if break effect doesn’t need Crit stats. i’m so lost. i thought i knew what was best for firefly but now this is just so confusing

[@valkrym2676]

Ryan Mei is not only a firefly slave, you kind of need to adjust her depending on what team you want her for

02:12 I’m a newbie so I don’t know a lot of things I don’t get it why Ruan Mei needs hp does hp has something to do with break effect? Or does def has something to do with break effect? Pls answer

[@johnata3255]

DEF and HP have nothing to do with break effect. They improve her survivability, though. As her main role is to buff the DPS, keeping her alive would allow to maintain her buffs all over the fight.

[@awilywolf]

I'm literally in a situation where I have 2 stellar 4 piece Watchmaker sets for both Ruan Mei and HTB. Both sets are tailored towards speed and BE. If the Watchmaker 4 piece set buff cannot stack, which character benefits most from BE specifically in a BIS FireFly team of RM, Gallagher, and HTB?

[@Kspice9000]

Nah use both. More often then you'll stagger their buffs do to moc charging and such. Between them and Gallagher, you'll always have watch maker buff refreshed throughout enhanced state.

[@djseppy2941]

i have JL RM Bronya pela/sustain. both my Hackerspace 4set and Watchmaker almost the same stats. which relic should i choose? also planing to pull houhou probably will get her e6. should i e6 RM or Houhou?

🍰 so any specific speed breakpoints for Firefly teams?

[@drakdragon4480]

160 before battle, 180 in the battle

[@arivdas_07]

Should i go for ERR rope or BREAK EFFECT rope???

[@johnata3255]

It depends on how much Break Effect you have. If you can reach 180% break effect, or close to it, in battle, go for ERR, otherwise, if you are far from it, Break Effect rope would be better, imo.

[@eclairgamingtoxoidmusic7402]

I pretty much do exactly the same things with my Ruan Mei. The one stipulation i have is that her lightcone is absolutely better than her E1. I get the point your making and i dont disagree with your point. However, the 4* cone is gacha. Its probable that many dont have access to this cone and even if they did HTB wants it too. The majority of players who are not day 1, are going to benfit far more from her lightcone.

[@lauriee5364]

i’m trying to build her for boothill & it’s such a headache cause all guides r different or for old teams💔 time to farm talia for the 7th time

[@dantez3600]

In Firefly, HMC, Ruan Mei, Gallagher team, watchmaker set doesnt make sense as thats what HMC will be wearing and the second effect doesnt stack.

Doesn't stack but gives you 100% uptime on it basically. And she doesn't need any other 4 piece so you might as well run it
