No DPS Cope Superbreak Team w/o Ruan Mei - Honkai: Star Rail 2.2 MOC12

Not only does Ruan Mei provide Break Efficiency which is the majority of Superbreak's damage, her delay allows you to more reliably keep enemies broken when breaking with elements other than Quantum, Imaginary, or Ice. If you're a Superbreak enjoyer, please pull Ruan Mei on her rerun. No one should ever have to do this to themselves.
Extremely RNG dependent run. I think with more leveled traces and more thought into the relics of everyone other than MC (and simply playing better) I could've ended in 1 less cycle.

im so sick cause i dont have ruan mei for superbreak team but i glad found this one. nice content 👌

[@Meme-pg5tw]

I wish ruan mei was a more enjoyable character since this team without her seems horrible but i just do not like ruan mei as a character so id hate using her no matter how broken she is

[@periwinkle6676]

I wonder how this team would go with a dedicated break DPS like Xueyi and future characters like Boothill and Firefly.

[@kienmaple]

You should consider Gallagher with Multiplicaiton if you're using BE rope. he'll get more turns which equate to more overall damage and superbreak. Plus you'll be even more sp positive with him, allowing sw and others to charge their ults faster. IN which case have you tried building Xueyi to replace Asta and slotting DDD on HMC?

[@Zelfric]

i actually hadn't thought of the more sp positive part. I put it aside because I thought that without Ruan Mei extending the break, multiplication wouldn't give him extra turns during the break, but that is a really good point considering how sp hungry these comps are

[@haritrihatmojo9498]

No wonder my super break damage is garbage... It's because I don't have RM. I looked at other CC and never realised that all of their super break showcase includes RM. It's actually insane how much she can boost the super break... Playing it without her feels so cope omg... Well, thanks for the video anyways

the imgur link doesnt seem to be working

[@Zelfric]

tried using something else, lmk if it doesn't work

[@quazar8749]

@@Zelfric works perfectly now, thanks!

[@KakavashaForever]

Ok but now what if we also don't have SW?

[@Zelfric]

start crying i guess

[@KakavashaForever]

@@Zelfric 😭😭😭 I'm trying to find a good team to use HMC but every one of them is Ruan Mei or SW, both who I lost 50/50 on lol

[@Zelfric]

@@KakavashaForever due to the nature of Super Break, you can basically run any character as long as they're on element, Silver Wolf isn't as big of an increase as Ruan Mei since all she's there for is to apply an element. For this MOC in particular you can also use Xueyi as DPS because they're weak to Quantum, and Pela instead of Silver Wolf for the DEF shred.

[@Zelfric]

actually for that comp, Tingyun would be better instead of Pela because she converts Break Effect into DMG which means you can play her like any other carry, but if you wanna run a purely Break DMG dps, that's who you'd go for

[@KakavashaForever]

@@Zelfric Thank you, yeah I'm thinking its gonna end up being HMC, Xueyi, Gallagher, and I need Pela for my other team so I'm thinking I can sneak Robin in there? I'm still building Robin, since she was a surprise while I was 'building pity' lol got her on pull 38, intended to stop at 40 and then hoard my pulls for later. So her gear is mid and her traces are abysmal still. Gonna be a few days at least to get her up to usable state.

[@Cr3zant]

Incredible how insane the relics need to be just to get an RNG run without Ruan Mei. Superbreak is such a half baked mechanic lmao, basically doesn't exist without RM.

[@Zelfric]

it's worth keeping in mind that this team doesn't have a real dedicated dps so doing it in 4 cycles is honestly not too bad, but Ruan Mei to Harmony MC is basically what Black Swan is to Kafka in DoT teams, it is what it is

[@Cr3zant]

@@Zelfric I somewhat disagree, Kafka teams can and did work just fine without BS. BS significantly improved it no doubt, bringing it from more than viable to among the best in the game, but it was still more than viable before her. Superbreak without RM as you've shown requires insane levels of investment for inconsistent results. It's not really on the same level. RM is more like what Kafka is to DoTs, but with the caveat that you're also straight up losing a separate team slot to add the mechanic to begin with. You say yourself in the description, "no one should ever have to do this to themselves", DoT was nowhere near that bad to play before BS.

[@kienmaple]

@@Cr3zant RM is like BLackswan because she isn't needed to enable the playstyle. Kafka is what makes dot team meta with her DOT detonation, solving's dot team backloaded damage. SImilar to how HMC solves break problem of not having sustained dps by giving them superbreak. The comparison by OP of RM being BS makes more sense. Plus as he said break doesnt have a real break dps yet until BOothill and FF.

[@Zelfric]

@@Cr3zant the last part of the description was a bit of an exaggeration, and i didn't quite go into detail, but most of the rng really only extends it by maybe 1 cycle, it isn't really that bad. I also didn't mean they're similar in terms of power level but more similar in terms of how much they boost the power level of the comp, i do agree with everything else you mentioned though
