10:36 keep doing that Dreamy. Giving a reason why we should watch this part is very important for me. From my experience, Majority of your Audience always want BEST but dont know why they doing this thing.
I honestly just enjoy listening to dreamy's guides more than anything else, full of objective statements and a soothing voice to boot keep up the good work!
I usually pull for character design first, viability second, so it's nice to find guides made by you for those that I do get. Frankly speaking I enjoy the guides of characters I don't even have too! Happy Holidays, Dreamy and everyone else reading comments!
@@ellieafk that would've been fine by me. Gimme my waifu hoyo dammit. Why is it always Welt and Clara... Welp..for now tho I'm happy Ruan Mei came home early. The pains I took to get Kafka and Jingliu were just too much ngl
I wasn't sold until you mentioned her synergy with topaz and now I'm all in on her. I prefer supports that make my carry stronger than an actual carry since im already satisfied with my topaz and seele
Topaz teams are inherently Double DPS teams, and the damage share is more equal than you think, esp when paired with field buffers like Asta and Ruan Mei.@@distritochristianangeloa.157
Because of how her action delay works, it's important to note that the debuffs you applied will also expire sooner. So, adding a buffer on your team is probably better in some cases than a debuffer.
@@justui4627 enemy already took a turn first before got delayed by Ruan Mei, similar to frozen enemy. So, the next turn when the enemy finally recovered, all 2-turn debuffs and DoTs would expire.
Best RM guide I’ve seen yet. I’m very impressed with her. I just 36 starred the 12 stages of the new MoC with her, on an S3 MotP and can attest that in higher difficulty content, you won’t struggle to three turn ult, either by getting hit (high likelihood) or using an extra SP here and there. She really helps sustaining the team. With her my medium investment Seele was able to beat and survive the bugs (helped by SW and HH) quite comfortably.
Thank you for the guides. It's nice that you're one of the few guide producers who also backs up the theorycrafting with actual results + rotations from your own teams + 0cycling/etc.
Thank you for always making the best guides out there, Dreamy Theyre interesting, always pretty to watch with your formatting, and always teach us things Im saving for now, but still worth the watch every time
I kinda wished that Ruan Mei did trigger the passives of Himeko and Xueyi cause the enemies do a recovery animation and then reenter the break animation with her debuff active. She would honestly be a very strong support for Himeko if that was the case.
Thank you so much Dreamy for your hard work! It always amazed me how well made all of your guides are!❤️ I usually find myself rewatching your guides because their that much fun and I can learn a lot from them!🙏🏻
Honestly I want to thank you for answering some of the thoughts I had before pulling, synergizing, and pairing with characters of Ruan Mei/any other new characters or even Xueyi (e.g. whether if I should pair Ruan Mei with Xueyi). Since I don’t really follow much guides because I’ve always felt conceited to make my own builds, maybe watching/reading a guide or two doesn’t hurt💚
Wonderful guide. I always check with Dreamy before pulling. I'm convinced I don't need her signature lightcone now. Thank you for saving me my precious tickets.
Big win for FUA types since they have the highest breaking since they attack outside their turn. Also she's not a drawback to Clara since it allows her to have enough energy before they recover from break.
Was really disappointed I got Yanqing at 30-40 pity, but was super happy I got Ruan Mei at around 29 pity! This video's definitely gonna help make my RM better with how detailed but succinct it is :] Thanks, Dreamy!
There is another unorthodox playstyle using the 3T Meshing Cogs build. Instead of skill/atk/atk, you would use skill twice instead. If Mei get hit twice, she can cast her ult again, making it 2T rotation = 100% buff uptime. There is plenty of aoe and splash atk in MoC, put her in 2nd or 3rd it could be fairly consistent.
Correct me if im wrong but you dont need the 5% regeneration planar ornament sets you just need a 19.4% regenaration line right, so with MOPs5 its 1st turn - 30+5.82+8+1.552+5+0.97 = 51.342 2nd turn - 20+3.88+8+1.552+5+0.97 = 39.402 3rd turn - 20+3.88+8+1.552+5+0.97 = 39.402 ULT - 130 energy need = 130.146 Repeat - SP positive 3turn ult
Slight nitpick, but break effect doesn't suffer from diminishing returns but rather opportunity cost. Building 10% more break effect will always increase the damage of a weakness break by 10% of the base value, there just isn't any multiplicative scaling at play like there is with critical strikes.
I saved for her and about 10 minutes in i already know shes my favorite unit. Just like Silver Wolf, she takes the basis of how type effectiveness works and says 'no u.'
Good video! Thank you for explaining this! I was building her wrong (with the Talia planar set) trying to reach 240 BE because someone said it was a good break point before diminishing returns. But now you say its not worth going for and 180 BE is good enough.
I’m finding that her LC is best used with huohuo with S5 post op and 140% ERR. A full ERR build for RM will have a 3T SP+ rotation and enable a 3T rotation for Huohuo (2x skill + basic). The extra SP from ULT goes to Huohuo to make her roation SP neutral. In the 3rd slot I’d run a super fast Tingyun who’d get energy batteried as well by huohuo. This is my dream energy battery comp that enables jingliu to never leave her enhanced state while maximizing damage! TLDR; her sig LC allows for some very cool interplay with other units.
I just tried out a Fire Break team with Topaz and Asta cause they both have multi hitting skills. They completely incinerate toughness bars with Ruan Mei! 🤯
well ima just run e1 dance dance ty with ruan mei so that my 107 jingyuan can go before the 5 stack ll hence everytime 10 stack w/o running speed boots. also not to mention lenny weakness break potential. Another mention guys u can heavily consider s2 memories of the past as well u need to just get hit once (+5) for 3T rotation. ( Being hit by enemy attacks usually regenerates 5/10/15/20/25 Energy depending on the attack, with some rare exceptions. ) source : hsr wiki.
Its crazy how every other guide feels cookie cutter. I can come to 95% of the conclusions other guides suggest. But your guides offer perspectives from lots of angles and considers what is optimal for one account may not be for the other. I always leave feeling I know so much more and I actually play better for it (used your M7 ult tech to beat MoC earlier)
It actually has to be, else you won't hit the energy breakpoint. As mentioned, the only alternative would be S5 Cogs. S4 Memories could work too if your healer is using Shared Feeling.
@@LisaraScarlet right, thats what i meant, i should’ve phrased it a bit better. trying to figure out the sp positive rotation while forgetting that part ends up messing my own (rough) calculation
I'm a bit late to the party, but I felt it's worth noting that Ruan Mei is only 3.4 energy away from getting her ultimate back on the S5 Coggers/Memories SP positive rotation, assuming I have my math correct. This means that on teams that include an abundance unit with an S4+ Shared Feeling, there's no need to run a 5% energy planar set, since most will use their skill once per three turns as it is (HuoHuo Moment).
@@LisaraScarlet ah, nice to hear my math wasn't off then. To be fair, I haven't seen any guides get into the nitty gritty of energy requirements likes yours did, which gave me the thought to see if a shared feeling proc would matter in the first place! Thanks for your hard work, I'm looking forward to the MoC12 showcase (assuming you're going to make one).
I can’t wait to try her with Jingliu in a triple harmony team. The amount of break combined with Jingliu freezing enemies on spawn would be a great pseudo sustain
very fun guide! i think im too casual to even consider doing the intermediate tech but i pulled her LC cuz its hella pretty. i think ill try to try hard a bit 🤣
9:57 I don't understand why ageless is better than penacony for ice teams in general, but doesn't jingliu have a built in +180% attack or something? could you explain the reasoning?
Jingliu is an outlier because she has her own 200% ATK boost but on that section, I was suggesting either Broken Keel or Ageless. In Jingliu's case ofc, you can go either Keel or Penacony. Just remember, not EVERY Ice chararacter is Jingliu.
I love how you tell all the details on how she works, on what's her playstyle. Great guide. Also a question. Do you think that it could be possible on 0 cycling moc with a duo dps setup now that RM arrived?
Thanks for the amazing guides again Dreamy! As usual please do remember to take care of yourself. I dont know if this is in the video but is it a good idea to pair Ruan Mei with characters like Asta or Welt considering her buffs?
The fact that Ruan Mei can buff everyone easily means that supports like Asta or Welt could perform all of their roles easily, I'm referring to how they can support while dealing damage.
Thank you for the reply! Ruan Mei really just seems like a jack of all trades master of none type of character, able to fill a role in every possible team.
I don't think I have much use for her as she's not necessarily an upgrade to jingliu, pela and bronya are pretty good, and even if I get her e1 it gains way more value if I pair it with pela/sw but that way I lose bronya unless I play no sustain
In terms of synergy I think xueyi is different from himeko, himeko require to break the enemy but xueyi can benefit just from reduce toughness. If I'm not understand her kit wrong technically her ult dmg and follow-up frequency scales with break efficiency I feel like her synergy with ruan mei outweigh the anti-synergy part here more than himeko
*Ruan Mei > Kafka’s Eidolons* Especially due to how well these two pair together. Ruan Mei offers even more damage & utility than Asta *or* a 3rd DoT character in a Kafka team. She’s also outstanding for all the games hard content. Even with the disgustingly bad, half-leveled, 100%< break effect build I gave her - I find myself swapping out my E3 bronya for her in harder content.
I wonder how synergy there is between 3t ult Houhou and Ruan with her signature. It's something I haven't seen anybody mention, I feel like it could make her rotation sp positive while retaining the 3t ult, thus fixing the sole 'issue' with her signature. For me I'd decide if I want to grab her signature or stick with MOTP.
It's not mentioned because Ruan Mei has her own ways to get her own 3-turn ULT rotation w/o needing Huohuo. Of course, you can adjust your playstyle like giving Ruan Mei a 4-turn ULT rotation which Huohuo can potentially reduce into a 3-turn rotation.
Oh I'm in such a horrible place ;-; I love Ruan Mei's design and her playstyle is also nice so I wouldn't mind adding her to roster, but I absolutely NEED Black Swan... oh my poor bard, maybe next time
well ima just run e1 dance dance ty with ruan mei so that my 107 jingyuan can go before the 5 stack ll hence everytime 10 stack w/o running speed boots. also not to mention lenny weakness break potential
I guess I will just use her LC S2 instead when try doing 1 multi roll on LC for fun after got annoyed that Tinkyun keep coming out & somehow got 2 copies of her LC
Debating to even pull coz she isnt improving kmy current setup that well. Mono quantum, IL and JL hypercarry. She barely improve like 7% dmg over pela E6 with resolution S5. Idk IL but seems hard to replace yukong E6, especially later with hanabi. Mono quuntum obv doesnt really use her, tho u can i guess with xueyi selee dpuble dps team maybe. Prob i just aim for her on rerun later when i have more dps subdps options.
This vid explained a lot of things that other vids here have overlooked. I specifically was looking for opinions on her light cone choices, and I see that her sig isn't technically a must-pull especially since I have r5 memories after losing the light cone banner to clara's signature (😭) However, do you think her lightcone is still worth it if I have huohuo in the same team as her? Would it alleviate her energy problems? If using her with bronya, is it better to consider wheelchair (161+ spd) bronya build to help her sp negativity? The team I would be using with her is Jingliu-huohuo-bronya-Ruan Mei.
hi lis! came back here to ask about ruan mei's ult rotation so the 15 energy she gets from her trace is needed for her to get her ult with s5 motp/cogs and 2pc energy planar with a skill basic basic rotation. i always felt like i was short for some reason but didn't really think too much about it till i wrote out her energy gains in a calculator, showed a friend, and we started talking about it- since you wanna ult when its her turn to maximize uptime, wouldn't you be missing 5 energy if her turn starts and she already has max energy? if she doesn't get hit, wouldn't you then have to wait till her 4th action to get that final 5 energy? so turn 1 with max energy: ult 5, skill 30 turn 2: basic 20, motp 8, trace 5 turn 3: basic 20, motp 8, trace 5 which gets her to 125 start of turn 4: trace 5 for 130 i feel like im maybe just thinking too much about it, but this would clear up why i can't seem to achieve a 3t rotation with her despite having s5 motp and 2pc von
Well himeko is still missing her final piece. Harmony Trailblazer. With that and Ruan Mei buffing break efficiency that should make them all synergize well together.
It's not that bad. The enemies are broken 50% faster but takes ~50% longer to recover so it evens out. And with Mei, Himeko ult can break those 90 toughness bar mobs
Doesn't the zero speed tech lose out on the buff the lc itself gives depending on how many turns your dps takes (like jingliu/blade with bronya would take a lot) since that buff is applied on allies. I guess its not worth chasing after the 24% dmg buff and better to have an easier time maintaining her other buffs

Yea, good for DoTs but not for someone like Pela or other debuff focused characters. Forgot to mention the latter.

Used 0 speed RM again very recently with the Cavalry Himeko vid.
Awesome Guide Dreamy
Correct me if im wrong but you dont need the 5% regeneration planar ornament sets you just need a 19.4% regenaration line right, so with MOPs5 its
1st turn - 30+5.82+8+1.552+5+0.97 = 51.342
2nd turn - 20+3.88+8+1.552+5+0.97 = 39.402
3rd turn - 20+3.88+8+1.552+5+0.97 = 39.402
ULT - 130 energy need = 130.146
Repeat - SP positive 3turn ult
Quick and easy to follow. Good job again

Thanks, i will try to get her.
Rip my resources if i get her as i just finished building hanya, & i just starting to build bronya (claimed her from 300 pulls reward)
I was planning to save for Kafka's eidolons, but Ruan Mei is starting to look good as well 😂 Maybe i'll pull on her rerun. But the 100% uptime buff...
*Ruan Mei > Kafka’s Eidolons*
Especially due to how well these two pair together.
Ruan Mei offers even more damage & utility than Asta *or* a 3rd DoT character in a Kafka team.
She’s also outstanding for all the games hard content.
Even with the disgustingly bad, half-leveled, 100%< break effect build I gave her - I find myself swapping out my E3 bronya for her in harder content.
First correct pronunciation of Thanatoplum Rebloom recorded.
it is AI
im so glad i got ruan mei... it took 77 pulls
5:13 does this 1 less turn in rotation really worth damage decrease? I feel like it is really overrated
I wonder how synergy there is between 3t ult Houhou and Ruan with her signature. It's something I haven't seen anybody mention, I feel like it could make her rotation sp positive while retaining the 3t ult, thus fixing the sole 'issue' with her signature. For me I'd decide if I want to grab her signature or stick with MOTP.
It's not mentioned because Ruan Mei has her own ways to get her own 3-turn ULT rotation w/o needing Huohuo. Of course, you can adjust your playstyle like giving Ruan Mei a 4-turn ULT rotation which Huohuo can potentially reduce into a 3-turn rotation.
Great video! Since I was able to hit 145 speed I went full break build on her. She is amazing 😊
Oh I'm in such a horrible place ;-; I love Ruan Mei's design and her playstyle is also nice so I wouldn't mind adding her to roster, but I absolutely NEED Black Swan... oh my poor bard, maybe next time
Thank you for an amazing (as always) guide! What's your thought on high speed breakpoints for Ruan Mei? Say, 161?
well ima just run e1 dance dance ty with ruan mei so that my 107 jingyuan can go before the 5 stack ll hence everytime 10 stack w/o running speed boots. also not to mention lenny weakness break potential
Hmm now with pure fiction wouldn't building extra break effect be more viable?
I lost the 5050 but I'm still gonna try to grind the jades during her banner. Wish me luck
Thanks for the guide Dreamy. I was on the fence about her LC. I assume her lc just becomes BiS if e6 no? Maybe on her next rerun ill grab it
Yea, no doubt her signature is best at E6.
I guess I will just use her LC S2 instead when try doing 1 multi roll on LC for fun after got annoyed that Tinkyun keep coming out & somehow got 2 copies of her LC
Debating to even pull coz she isnt improving kmy current setup that well. Mono quantum, IL and JL hypercarry. She barely improve like 7% dmg over pela E6 with resolution S5. Idk IL but seems hard to replace yukong E6, especially later with hanabi. Mono quuntum obv doesnt really use her, tho u can i guess with xueyi selee dpuble dps team maybe.
Prob i just aim for her on rerun later when i have more dps subdps options.
This vid explained a lot of things that other vids here have overlooked. I specifically was looking for opinions on her light cone choices, and I see that her sig isn't technically a must-pull especially since I have r5 memories after losing the light cone banner to clara's signature (😭)
However, do you think her lightcone is still worth it if I have huohuo in the same team as her? Would it alleviate her energy problems? If using her with bronya, is it better to consider wheelchair (161+ spd) bronya build to help her sp negativity? The team I would be using with her is Jingliu-huohuo-bronya-Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei signature + Huohuo works, tested it.
hi lis! came back here to ask about ruan mei's ult rotation
so the 15 energy she gets from her trace is needed for her to get her ult with s5 motp/cogs and 2pc energy planar with a skill basic basic rotation. i always felt like i was short for some reason but didn't really think too much about it till i wrote out her energy gains in a calculator, showed a friend, and we started talking about it- since you wanna ult when its her turn to maximize uptime, wouldn't you be missing 5 energy if her turn starts and she already has max energy? if she doesn't get hit, wouldn't you then have to wait till her 4th action to get that final 5 energy?
so turn 1 with max energy: ult 5, skill 30
turn 2: basic 20, motp 8, trace 5
turn 3: basic 20, motp 8, trace 5
which gets her to 125
start of turn 4: trace 5 for 130
i feel like im maybe just thinking too much about it, but this would clear up why i can't seem to achieve a 3t rotation with her despite having s5 motp and 2pc von
When she first gets her ULT, as long as you don't use it on her next turn, there should be no issue.
@@LisaraScarlet what do you mean by her next turn? like having her ult ready but not using it until the following turn?
@@snowragi Yes.
I see so many people get 150+speed in most characters easy, i barely break 130ish. speed sub stats hasnt been good to me
i guess i’m not pulling ruan mei then. i really wanted her for himeko but i thought the anti-synergy wouldn’t be a huge deal sigh
I pulled her specifically for my Himeko too but I already won my Ruan so I'll just use her on my Jing Yuan or Argenti.
Well himeko is still missing her final piece. Harmony Trailblazer. With that and Ruan Mei buffing break efficiency that should make them all synergize well together.
I didn't say its a weak synergy. Just that it's not particularly standing out.
It's not that bad. The enemies are broken 50% faster but takes ~50% longer to recover so it evens out. And with Mei, Himeko ult can break those 90 toughness bar mobs
@@ZytenEspada hmm
Doesn't the zero speed tech lose out on the buff the lc itself gives depending on how many turns your dps takes (like jingliu/blade with bronya would take a lot) since that buff is applied on allies. I guess its not worth chasing after the 24% dmg buff and better to have an easier time maintaining her other buffs
