I’m not trying to skip her, but my luck says otherwise
Same my luck gave me clara
e1 gepard for me :/
e1 welt 😢
@@SimonTornilBlascosame 😢
Thank God i have her guaranteed
Im not skipping her, she’s skipping me
SO TRUE
Right
Def decrease is exponential in star rail so basically the more the better till you reach 100%
DEF Shred and Ignore are shared stats-which is to say, these are additive features, rather than multiplicative i.e. if you’re using E1 Ruan Mei that’s 20% DEF you’re ignoring, if you’re using E1 RM WITH say Genius of Brilliant Stars vs a Quantum Weak Enemy that’s *40%* DEF you’re ignoring, in total
Throw in Pela to the mix and the enemy's dead before you can blink
I ended up pitying Ruan Mei which is okay, but then I did a dozen singles just for fun and got Himeko E3, but now I’m guaranteed Black Swan so I actually lucked out!!
"Ruan Mei obliterates Bronya" is a bit of a stretch but yeah for DHIL that's probably true. Together they are INSANE though especially for Jingliu. The most surprising thing about floor 12 imo is how it's pushing Fu Xuan beyond her limit for most people. I literally had to drop her for Gepard to get my 36*, wind shear was just eating her alive! Well I guess Jingliu's drain wasn't helping either lol. I may have to end up rebuilding her for pure tank, her personal damage just isn't worth it. Luocha is my normal go-to for Jingliu's teams but he's hardlocked to first side now to deal with the self healing cringelords.
For the "selfhealing cringelords" you could try building pela, as her skill disables an enemy's buff and maybe try building another healer if luocha is your only one built
@@darkside4681 I do have Pela built, she does wonders for my Jingliu (well I guess Ruan Mei just does it better now...) Her skill loses a lot of value if you don't use an ice DPS tho, it's not really worth it. At that point just do a 2-turn ult build with Tutorial and basic attack spam. Besides, it's not an AoE dispel like Luocha. The little ones the cringelord spawns will still revive (which messes with things like Seele's resurgence and wastes time in general).
I have plenty of defensive units built, don't you worry. My Lynx is an absolute monster. Gepard, as mentioned in the OP is as well.
For me Fu Xuan is more than enough, I use Gepard on the other side. The problem is I haven't invested into another dps beside Seele, so needs a bit of work their. Now I'm building Xueyi just for that. If it is possible for me to clear with unbuilt Xueyi not 3 stars though, I can clear it with a fully built one.
i combo'd both my e1 bronya and RM for both jl and blade hypercarry, can definitely say those 2 in the same team is overkill, as I got 3 cycles for both team (blade for 1st half, then redo and jl for 2nd half)
Xueyi is only decent at E6. otherwise she isn't even as close at Seele's level in terms of damage. Also you need bronya cuz ur bread & butter with her is her "ULTIMATE" @@robinj4286
Me who is still gonna skip her: *Interesting*
Glad I pulled for ruan mei this is a strong character
Hello, Moga! I love your videos! They're super entertaining and informative!
I'm not sure if you already know or not but I only just found out that in Star Rail in Boulder Town inside the Fight Club there's a special sandbag in the corner to the right of the entrance which starts a fight with 5 tanky enemies. It could be a nice place for dps showcases ^^
Ruan Mei is good but also it should be noted that the effect of this cycle of MOC does favour weakness breaking. So her being able to increase break efficiency does play into that.
This is basically my mantra to NOT pull for her and instead save up for Kafka ,,, BUT ITS BEEN SO HARDDDD
Is it really? I used MOC effect on the team without RM more than RM team.
Doesn’t matter it happens at end of cycle has no effect on the fight at all it just cleans up the mobs at low hp and saves a cycle for most people
I’m not going to say Kafka isn’t worth it she is… But her 4 stars are really bad besides sushang. If you love her though absolutely get her 👍
but what if i told you ruan mei is one of the best support for dot teams :C breaks are huuuge for their damage.. unless kafka is the character you like the personality and look of the most you should prob grab ruan mei and skip kafka for black swan o:
I wanted Blade more
9:14 Welt is actually important af in this stage. welt break is significantly higher and not to mention slow to avoid dying teamates. Op af. with the domain buff.
GUYS DONT SKIP THIS CHARACTER!! STFU IVE SEEN THIS EXCAT FUCKING VIDEO 30 TIMES NOW. Ruan Mei is really good get her if you want.
naw listen on this one she is that good
^^^
like every other character, Ruan Mei works well in certain teams.
she's not "god-like" like these videos suggest.
@@rach-cv552 she kind of is lmao she's the best support by a long shot even after sparkle's release.
@@rach-cv552 yes she is she works in every team
The new path with gold and gears made my jing liu hit 2mil and was able to do it 3 times in 1 turn, wild
RM has an amazing kit and I would love to have a great support for Blade (besides Bronya), but even after playing the last trailblaze quest I can't bring myself to care about her. Will skip, save for Black Swan and just hope for equally good harmony units in the future.
Need a welt raise and godmode vid lol, I’m picking him with my 300 pulls soon and it’ll help you in these next MOC floors
Defense shred actually has the opposite of diminishing returns, up until you cap it at 100%.
The first 10% is roughly a 5% damage increase, 20% is roughly 11%, I think you reach parity somewhere around 60%, and 100% defense shred gives over 110% increase.
i'm skipping her just because i won't pull characters i don't like and if i could 36 star this current moc without any quantum/ice characters i should be fine. i do agree that her kit is cracked though, if they attached a character i liked to her kit i would definitely pulll
To answer your question def reduction and def ignore do scale off the same way but they don't have deminishing returns basically the more the better
I’m really torn because I need another solo-sustain for my second team in MoC, but I also want Ruan Mei… I’ll probably just save for a Fu Xuan or Huo Huo rerun.
i just got her light cone today im so happy she deals a lot of damage
I was pulling for ruan mei in the start but decided to switch to blade since i really wanted him and i actually got him in a single, then while raising him i used the single pull i got from raising him 50 to pull on standard and got gepard!
im gonna continue trying to go for ruan mei since she seems op, hopefully i get her
I got her E1 just now, Back to saving now, She's so fun and I can run so many unit now just to break the enemy and keep delaying the enemies. So much fun and so easy to keep her buff.
it's a shame that I'm saving for black swan but ruan mei is so good i'm going going for her on a rerun
We as black swan saver must stay strong💪
Yes we black swan enjoyers must stay strong 💪🏾
@@m.ridzwan99-26 You think you have issues, the Sparkle savers of the world still have almost 2 months to hold out.
@@111111hakarwe're taking no chances, must guaranteed getting her
5 minutes left for Ruan Mei and Blade. I definitely get you next banner Ruan Mei!
I was considering skipping her since I already have a fair few buffers raised. I haven't really tested her though, except on the new weekly boss
I need help. I'm saving up for dan heng imbibitor lunae, should I pull for ruan mei? Or should I use bronya instead (I'm level 30)
I literally just did a random 10 pull and ended up with her, did not know how to feel since i was saving for Sparkles…But I immediately received the notif for this vid. Thanks for the showcase 🙏
Update: I love her so much 🩵
> "Saving" for sparkle
> "Random" 10 pull
You sure you were saving at that point..?
@@astra8815 I did a ten pull cuz i was hoping for a Xueyi :(
@@dandan3238I too got bailu like that idk how this works doo am i guarantee to get the featured 5 star in the next banner?
@@vegitoblue6969 Yes if you lost 50/50 your next 5* on a limited banner will be the featured 5*
@@vegitoblue6969 Since you got Bailu yes, you are guaranteed! There’s still a bit more time if you still wanna go for Ruan mei, either way good luck! 🙌🏼
Lost to Welt at 81 pity (I always lose anyways), then got her at 31 pity
I got her e1 and bronya I’m living the high life clearing fh12
Oh wow, good thing i got her
[everything you said in this video] - yes, but have you seen Black Swans ultimate?
Turned Ruan Mei into an easy skip. And I got E1 Himeko anyways. ^^
300~% break effect is so fun in sim; definitely recommend!
meanwhile i skipped ruan mei for blade's light cone :)
Got yanqing on her banner so now I'm stuck trying to figure out if I should use the guarantee on her or Sparkle. I'm a DHIL/Argenti/Jingyuan enjoyer so idk what to do.
I was going to pull Kafka, but after seeing how cool Ruan Mei is, I decided to take a chance to pull her, because I was on 50/50 anyway. Ended up winning and I'm very happy about it. I couldn't have cleared MoC 12 without her. So glad I didn't skip
got her randomly after getting blade, she completely changed my accounts damage output i love her
Ruan Mei is so powerful that I got her lightcone for her and I don’t think I can replace her anymore now I just gotta hope I can get Kafka e1 without guaranteed or maybe sparkle or black swan
I'm going for Kafka and Black swan instead; Ruan Mei will go on my rerun list
but if your running black swan and kafka ruan mei is perfect for that team
I got Ruan Mei and saving to Black Swan, Sparkle and Sam
Got Ruan Mei on her Banner release Day on 70 pity. But because I'm weak against Mommies with beautiful thighs, I pulled her again the other day and got her again on 70 pity, and she came along with a cute friend named Bronya. Now they're both E1. Never been so happy.
She's a pretty great unit tbh, im very tempted but i have a built bronya. Might pull for kafka instead
Ron may is sooooooo fun, im having a blast with her on DoT teams.
Ron may… I’m dying
I need a healer, but after I saw some people say we're getting a robot that is fire I want it
Besides the fact that she's a gigantic buffer to any team in the game, she synergizes so well with Bronya, it's not even funny. She's so sp positive, she makes bronya easy to manage every turn (especially with Jingliu). My favorite team (huohuo, jingliu, ruan mei, bronya) clears MOC 12 easily and both modes of SU with basically 5-7 blessings and the remembrance path (at E0 and no gacha LC except for e1 bronya)
Lost my 50/50 to E1 Gepard, so thanks for this
I think I must be weird cuz I never pull for E6s or C6s on release banner ( in genshin case) I just want the character first and ill upgrade them using reruns later down the road
Is she any good with Clara? I've heard some mixed things about it
E1 scales better the more def ignore/ def down you have.
Was looking for someone to say this. Ruan mei and pela made my jingliu do 450k dmg
Hate that I lost sw rerun to yanqing e1 at freaking 90 pulls..
in floor 12, put huohuo in the first team, she will clear the dominated debuff with her skill
Acheron waiting list
i don’t really wanna skip her but i’m saving for a guaranteed for sunday
Sunday’ll be around the mid or late part of penacony arc, i supposed. So if you want her, i suggest get her. There’re may be chances it may rerun at the same time on Sunday’s banner. Better soon than never.
Pretty sure Sunday is gonna be at 2.4 which is like half a year from now.
@@Doflaminguard oh awesome then
@@ghqstinqs hes a final boss character so he is gonna be released late into Penacony, basically you can still pull for 1 character and still have guaranteed pulls saved for Sunday.
Unfortunately for me, I went for Blade. I tried getting Ruan Mei after, but obviously I failed.
Yeah, floor 12 was hard.. took me a lot of attempts (especally because I don't have Jingliu for Ice weakness)
I just got into the game and I only want Jingliu… I missed her because I played the game like a day before her banner ended. Not I don’t want Ruan Mei, but I want a good dps character for now because I only use the character they gave you until you go to encounter Svarog 😅
Well screw that, I’ve pulled for her so now it’s time to keep my pulls for Jungliu 🤣
I really want black swan but i felt like ruan mei's kit is just too good to be true. I love when i can buff my entire team consistently with pretty much no downtime, and her damage+speed buff really helps Jing Yuan which i like alot
I mean… I know I should try for her, but I think I’m going to save for a certain imaginary healer since I have the topaz, Silver wolf, and soon will have dr. Ratio
Healer? Isn't he a preservation unit?
who are yall talking about help
@@snooze.o7 Luocha re-run
@@banggobang5148 he's talking about Luocha
@@skyreaper1994 OHHH
The first true must pull of hsr yep, the kazuha of hsr
Luck was on my side today, (at least for her, weapon says otherwise..) I had 2 pity and got her in 2 10 pulls
might pull her in a rerun but for now sparkle is in way higher priority
This but in my case Kafka and black Swan
@@mrs.a69period
I have Bronya so Sparkle isnt a priority so I went to E1 Ruan Mei.
You can get both, depending on how many pulls you have
@@Doflaminguard that def shred is sexy. I could swear she doubled my dot team damage
Ok i think you should use blade for first half cause he is a lot tankier and use sw bronya and luocha with him and for 2 nd half i used ruan mei huohuo jingliu and tingyun i promise this will work
I DIDN'T WANTED TO SKIP HER AAAAA BUT I LOST 5050 and im saving for my favorite character ; sparkle
Guess who i skipped to get Blade
I might be alone in this but I don't like the character as much so her being broken really doesn't matter much to me 😓. I admit she is broken and a universal support but I wasted so many warps on her without actually liking her. I'll stop gaslighting myself into pulling for her because she is a "must pull". I'll save for Sparkle (sorry if this is a bad take)
nope, valid take.
pull for the characters you actually love and don't let some TH-camr control your decision. :)
Nah you're totally fine. I'm skipping her because I don't like her as a character and there are other characters I prefer. It's still your account so don't let anyone stop you from getting the characters YOU want, not characters others tell you to have
With this video you literally forced me to get Ruan mai😂
It feels like Ruan Mei is the Kazuha of Star Rail
No she is not
Lmao is this gachasmack
@@slorenz5626res pen=vv shred so i can see it
for now
@@slorenz5626 why ? both need to stack break effect/EM to get DMG bonus and both shred the enemies elemental resistance (res pen/vv shred)
sorry not sorry ruan mei is a super good support but looking at my account its better if i pull for Sparkles because i want Dr ratios lightcone, Jing yuan's lightcone, Sparkles, Sam and his lightcone, Sunday, Gallagher and jing liu rerun so if i pull for ruan mei that will mess up my pulling plans :( Besides she is going to get a rerun its not the End of the World if people skip her im good ) gonna get ruan mei on her rerun though :D :D :D
swap fu xuan on your first phase of moc 12 since kafka deals so much aoe damage compare to the bug
you just need a healer that can cleanse in the 2nd phase of it
lost 50/50 to e1 bronya but was able to clutch up 78 tickets in 3 days because ive been suck a slacker and there was so much content to do 😅
I think I'm skipping Ruan for Black Swan
i am a relatively new player im lvl 38, i quit the game after blade’s first banner, i got e2 ruan mei and her light cone in around 60 pulls 😭
(i was called a liar earlier, i can provide u with ss from my history if u want xd)
I got her
She may have drained most of my savings but I’m glad she appeared at all. May all Ruan Mei wanters be havers
The more defense shred you have the more valuable defense ignore is
Try dhil, pela, tingyun,huo huo first half and then try jingliu, bronya, ruan mei, fu xuan second half i got 8 cycles out of it
Crazy how much easier MoC is for whales.
I had to finish leveling up and semi build my Sushang for MoC 10 Argentina, as I have no other ice or physical DPS. Took so many attempts and different team comps to pass 10.
MoC 11 was worse, especially since it was just pray RNGesus to bless me, doing the same optimized rotations over and over again, as the only thing that I could 'optimize' more was the RNG, which is terrible gameplay mechanics.
Gave up on 12, as I don't have FuXuan, Luocha or Jingliu. When you have shit luck and each limited 5 star is 150+ pulls, you end up with shit roster as a light spender (bought battlepasses at launch, as it was basically unplayable without them resource wise). Doesn't exactly motivate to ever spend more money on the game either.
Played since release, have 4 limited 5-stars, Seele, SilverWolf, DanIL, RyanMei.
I love how he says skip everyone except ruan mei even though he got every character up to ruan mei😭
I really do wanna get her but idk if it's guaranteed for me to get her
Moga I think tenha did a 300% BE ruan mei and it was insane. You should check it out. Mine is e2 with slc and I'm going for her 3rd eidolon but even if I don't get it I'll be ready for topaz or another DPS. I don't want blade I hope there is a crazy dps coming soon.
@@jekmr84 I just found out that Kafka is coming soon so I may skip ruan mei..- I would wish for her but since my last account is gone and I don't have my guaranteed pity I don't think I'll be getting her..- so I'll save my special wishes and steller jade for Kafka, idk why my last account decided to be mean and leave me I had so much stuff there-
@@kami.storiesIf you have Jingliu. its definitely a must pull. Also, if you get Kafka next banner be sure to pull for Black Swan. Shes an insane DoT support
He's a content creator and needs to make videos, so of course he gets everyone
@@andris404 well, just because he's a content creators doesn't mean he has too, he wants to I've seen other content creators skip characters off games
I'm so pissed because while trying to pull for hanya I got argenti early(guaranteed) and now I won't he able to ruan mei
I came back to the game, got her early and dont even know what she does
6:39 Me after I pulled Fu Xuan
I won’t be able to get her to e1 now but even at e0 she has been obliterating everything
as a quantum main I have to if I want sparkle and her lc...
idk whether i should be happy that i got E2 bronya instead of Ruan Mei or not cause it's bronya but at the same time it's not Ruan Mei.
Bronya is good but she’s not a limited character so you’ll would have gotten her eventually, but hey at least it’s not yanqing
yeah idk man i got about 45 pulls with 52 pity and a 50/50 to win. i think ima stick to sparkle...
E2S1 no regrets.
I skipped her. Im an absolute idiot.
Just lost my 50/50 😢 no more stellar jade
I wonder if she's gonna be good with dr ratio tho? otherwise I don't wanna pull for her
I pulled but got bailu i have enough to pull but i am gonna get black swan and achron 🗿
I got my e1 silver wolf at 10 pity
Then got bailu in Ruan Mei banner at 40 pity
And in the next 10 pull got Ruan Mei😂😂😂
I have never been this much lucky in a gacha game
As a f2p after getting lucky and gatting e1r1 ruan mei my jingliu is finally starting to hit 200k consistently outside of SU and thats with an unbuilt ruan mei
*s1, not r1
Uh huh heard that before
Got yanqing🌚
i would love to but i m out of stellar jade and at 50 pity
I think she useful with ice characters
I need help because I’m level 30 and I really struggle with this game tbh😭 I want to pull for her but I also want Kafka, who should I pull for that would help me the most?
Pull ruan mei and blade or wait black swan
If you like kafka then pull for her!! One of her best teammates (black swan) comes out in 2.0 so if you get kafka you can definitely try getting black swan too. Also, DoT characters are probably one of the easiest to build since you only need atk, ehr, spd.
Ruan Mei would help your account more than Kafka. Support characters are generally gonna get better mileage than other types, so also try and nab either Fu Xuan or Luocha or Huohuo if you can.
Kafka is on the next half of 1.6 and she is the enabler for DoT teams and the best DoT DPS is coming out in 2.0 ( the next patch ) so you could go for kafka then black swan depends who you have on your account you would need to let me know who you have already summoned for
@@iHudo8430 I have Welt, Seele and Clara as my five stars currently.
Ruan Mei is very good but you gotta remember that the current MoC "blessing" is just so stupidly broken for her. With any other of the previous blessings I don't think she'd be that much better than Bronya
Bruh the MoC buff is only damage per cycle last turn 💀
Almost everyone can benefit from it as long as you're breaking the enemy, which can be easily done by SW.
I don’t agree entirely, the only useful thing the moc buff has done for me is just barely clean up the mobs not a massive difference at least with my set ups
@fuumaruu7486 Ruan Mei almost doubles break efficiency (not the break effect!) and moreover keeps enemies in break state, which helps enourmously to accumulate those stacks. Any Ruan Mei teamcomp clears 11-12 MoC stages twice faster than teamcomp without Ruan Mei with literally any other buffer/debuffer.
@chinnerchilla you're playing it wrong it seems. You need to clear the mobs before the cycle ends so all of those stacks will hit big enemies. Those stacks do huge damage, 10 stacks on a single boss can almost one-shot the entire phase
As a newer F2P I got lucky with Huohuo on my 20th pull and so I used all the jades I had on Ruan Mei. Got her and her LC. I’m now gonna use all the pulls I can get to try to get her E1 lol.
I don't wanna skip her but black swan and sparkle...
