Story
| Title | Text |
| n/a | A scholar of exquisite temperament, member #81 of the illustrious Genius Society, and an expert in the field of life sciences. She earned Nous' attention with her talent and terrifying perseverance, and began her research on the origin of life in a secretive corner of the universe. Subsequently, she was invited by Herta to collaborate with Screwllum and Stephen to develop the Simulated Universe. Privately, she revels in traditional theater and desserts, and she is also very interested in embroidery. |
| n/a | During her childhood, she received early exposure to science from her mother, who was a "scientist." Her life in a tiny house with her family of science enthusiasts was filled with love. As such, it wasn't long before she realized there were subtle differences in "love," each kind coming with different scents. Her grandmother with silver hair was a fan of traditional theater with its humming and chirping, while her father wore a pair of large, furry boots. Her parents loved each other, but they still argued from time to time. She was an impassive girl who made mistakes all the time, but was also forgiven all the time. "I was closer with Aunt Arlice compared to my other relatives, as she would buy me snacks. Her love was the best." Soon, the young girl learned to be stubborn. Her understanding of "love" broke away from the formulae taught in textbooks. As she grew older, her mother became strict with her. Together, they walked one step at a time on a vast glacial planet. The girl gasped and stopped on the way, carefully observing the fantastical and enchanting "lifeforms" buried beneath the glaciers - What used to be lifeforms, at least. Every time she arrived home after going on scientific expeditions, it was time for "rewards" — When she took a small bite of the cake, the mouthwatering aroma would immediately cling to the roof of her mouth. Her insignificant anticipation always gave her mother's research an inviting smell. Starting from their home, a planet blessed by Abundance, they boarded research aircraft and set off to more worlds. Surrounded by flash bombs, silk headscarves, ribbons, and embroidery, the girl embraced joy amongst "lifeforms" created by spiraling and ascending data. "A-Ruan, after eating Qingtuan, you must wash your fingers thoroughly before you can touch the lab bench." |
| n/a | She was dressed all in black in a mourning attire at her parents' funeral. As usual, she still tied her hair neatly. Her expression was hidden behind her ink-black strands of hair. She did not shed a single tear. As the night fell, layers of geometric patterns formed by data spirals appeared on the screen in the lab. They shifted, expanded, and flowed along with the sound of traditional theater songs. After peeling away the layers of the patterns, the secret she meticulously crafted and protected with care was revealed — her parents with their eyes closed. Their faces were as impassive as if they were asleep. "This is a let-down. They failed to keep their promise with Grandma." "And I, too, let them down for failing to protect them as promised." "Only science... never lets anyone down," she said. Wanting her parents to be equal, she stopped using her previous nickname and gave herself a new name by combining each of her parents' surnames. Since then, whenever someone asked her about her "home," there would be a flash of confusion in her eyes. She seems to have forgotten everything. In such a state, she started working around the clock on her calculations. She was so engrossed in her research that she never ate regularly. When she was on a roll, she could spend entire days and nights working on research without sleeping, and only dozed off when she hit her limit. Soon, she was only relying on the faint glow of fyreflies to gather her research results every night. The more dismissive she was of the existing laws of life, the quicker she progressed. She totally disregarded formulas, then moved on to ignoring the meaning of life. She simply observed, assessed with her hands, held the data in her palm to feel it, then proceeded to concoct new laws for species. As a result, the ferns and flowers in her lab flourished ever more. They grew at a speed visible to the human sight, and ultimately filled every space in the lab. In the space between the flowers and leaves laid the serene and emotionless countenance of her parents, formed by the aggregation of "data." The moment her sleeping "parents" were about to open their eyes — By then, she had nearly destroyed the existing laws of biological evolution on the entire planet, yet she still marched on toward her goal. It wasn't until she looked up from her research and stared at the sky did she notice the gaze of the Erudition had descended upon her. |
| n/a | After receiving the gaze of Nous, she left her home and began a reclusive life. No one knew what she asked Nous, but after that incident, she became even more apathetic and impassive, and even more immersed in her research —She would only study the fundamental nature of "life." A greater variety of "lifeforms" came into existence through her concoction. Some "burning" lifeforms became flowing flames that crept and weaved under her feet. Sometimes, she felt like she was fire itself. Some "fluid" beings turned into liquid light that slithered around her slender wrists. Sometimes, she felt like she was light itself. Some living things concocted from "knowledge" attempted to develop their own thoughts, sentience, and emotions. They sometimes rambunctiously cry, guffaw, or wail — all these have been fused into her body. Yet, she could not feel them. Life only exists for such a short time, after all. They fleetingly pass from birth to death, and her research is the only constant. Occasionally, her casual "research" would shake the schools of biology. Her "research" transformed many planets. Flying whales, swimming deer, fearful flowers, and trees with a vast root system... Her creations have already went beyond the scope of experience and imaginations comprehensible to organic life. She kept pushing herself for a more in-depth understanding of "life," just to bring herself closer to Nous — and THEIR unforgettable glance. Aeons... What kind of beings are they? Are they also a form of life? As her "groundbreaking" studies rose to fame with in the cosmic academic community, people always tried to disrupt her life as a recluse. She turned to look at the letter from the Genius Society on the desk and, once again, dumped it into the trashcan. |
| n/a | She is surrounded by an eccentric science fanatic from a small town, an inorganic lifeform, and a puppet girl. They indulge in afternoon tea and collaborate in research. They squabble loudly and giggle from time to time. When did she first meet them? She can't remember, only that it was for a project. She was forced to be there — that, she is certain. With leisure, she munches on the cake. She became a part of this solely for the sake of simulated "Aeons," which are worth her time and efforts. They are worth her time... but not worth being forced to socialize. "Genius Society? I do not care." "This is a strange, instinctive feeling. That one named 'Herta' is rather similar to me. I mean... similar on a deeper level." She is certain that she won't make another mistake. It's because she no longer trusted anyone, so she won't be let down again, and... she won't let anyone else down again. What is the fundamental essence of "life"... Where does "life" end? Do the answers really exist? Not a trace of emotion can be discerned on her emotionless and silent face. Yet, her hair is roiling with the heat of boiling and steaming, and the rims of her eyes are slightly red — she is enjoying this. Only the word "Aeon" can stir her heart. Everything else in the universe is a mere distraction. How interesting. On the "incubator," a "life" nurtured by the "rice cooker" popped out in perfection. The method with which life is created is miraculous. How romantic. She knows better than anyone the price one has to pay to study Aeons... but she does not care. She knows! She might even — become...!? The time is just right — The update for the "project" is about to commence. She turns around and leaves. Unbeknownst to the girl, her grandmother has always been watching her through the monitor, day after day for countless years. "A-Ruan... My A-Ruan. When we finally meet again, would it be...?" |

I’m not sure were to slot her.
Maybe I could run double Harmony Qingque with Bronya and Fu Xuan or entierly replace Bronya in favour of
Maybe I could use her in a Teampcomp with Pela who is a fast Ice breaker and would help with DEF reduction and AoE.
Maybe I could use her in a DPS carry comp with Bronya + Pela and Luocha, while my other team could be Qq + Tingyun + Fu Xuan + Flex.
Mhm…. so many options to mix and max……
Man. 2 of this options is total shit. There’s nothing to think about here.
What’s the best build for her…?
To put a long story short, Ruan Mei is Kazuha in Star Rail.
The only thing she needed to do was increasse ElementalDMG for the whole packet deal.
She do. It’s on her talent. 30% increased damage.
oh god finally someone who uses the break set and scales with break effect
I’ll be replacing Pela in my Jingliu team with Ruan Mei. So Jingliu, Bronya, Ruan Mei and Lynx/Fu Xuan. How should Ruan Mei be built though?
fr?? Where do you going to get that much SP? 🙂 This team is unbalanced.
I mean it could work with E1 Ruan Mei and E1S1 Bronya, but it’d be awkward
Instead of Bronya SW might be the better choice, she’s less SP hungry and she provides plenty to the team, especially if the opponent isn’t ice weak
I think I’d know if my team wasn’t working. My Bronya is E1, my team rn is Jingliu, Pela, Bronya and Lynx and it works fine
Would Mei be good with I.L dang heng? I want to pull her but Idk if she will be good for him. (Also my current team is fu xuan, Dan heng .I.L , HuoHuo (yes I have 2 sustains) and Tingyun)
i dont think she will be good with IL. Because she will give your dps a lot of %DMG bufff which Dan Heng IL has a lot. But she ‘s ok with IL but not her full potential. Sorry for my bad english
No no please, your English was fine and thank you for that. Tbh I still might use her with I.L or another camp but thank you anyways <333
<333. Good luck at pulling her. I will pull her too.
She’ll be very good when fighting vs IMG enemies and until you don’t running out of SP.
So how does her weakness extend interact with Freeze?
Freeze thaws the enemy first before recovering their toughness next turn.
With the extend does that mean that the enemy will be in weakness for 3 turns (freeze break+thaw+extend)?
“Enemy will attempt to recover from Freeze > then attempt to recover from her Ult (if you applied its effect) > then finally fully recover from Break.”
quote from a comment (The Vizier)
It’s still just a speculation at this point since the vid posted here didn’t get to show that specific interaction but…
To explain my thoughts:
We already know when enemies thaw they can’t act, and thus can’t recover from Break that turn. And the vid clearly showed the mob getting interrupted by Seamrend, and thus unable to recover that turn as well. So it would only make sense for enemies to only be able to recover the turn *after* Seamrend triggers.
this character is amazing, but i think his signature lc must be rework. Even if it give great dmg bonus it destroy her rotation (Ult [+5] -> [+5] Skill [+30] -> [+5] Attack [+20] -> [+5] Skill [+30]) * 1.24 = 124/130.
if you got her E1 you fall on 111.6/130 event at 124% recharge. While memory of past can solve this problem on sp positive rotation (skill->attack->attack) and give break effect. Which means at E1 you got perm boost from her skill, and at E6 perm boost from her ult. Instead of giving energy at each wave, it will be better to give energy when the character deal aditionnal dmg. She’s from now the only harmony who can do that and give her better rotation without energy rope.
Which light cones are her best?
I’m thinking Memories of the Past is probably good for the extra energy and Break Effect particularly if you run her with ER over BE. But are there any good options excluding it?
Energy: 130
A4: R5 Meshing cogs / R5 Memories of the past:
Ult [+5] -> [+5] Skill [+30] -> [+5] Attack [+28] -> [+5] Attack [+28] = 106
+5% -> 111.3
+19.43% -> 126.6
+24.43% -> 131.9
Perfect 3 turn rotation with ERR rope & Either ERR ornament. Not having both isn’t worth it.
You choose between 3 turn rotation or + 100.8% break effect. I am unsure which does more damage.
Speed:
Base speed: +104
Speed from skill: +16
Speed from trace: +5
Potential boots: +25
-> Boots: 150, Bootless: 125.
-> Requires 10/9 speed for next additional turn in MoC
She hits Talia breakpoint with 0 substats. Notably going less speed means her buffs decay slower in exchange for being unable to use Talia. I suggest [full ER + slow] or [full Break effect + fast].
If you’re going >160.1 speed, you’ll need 5 speed substat rolls (only 2 with messenger 2-pc).
But as 16% break effect from the 4-pc thief is also 3 substats worth, 4-pc Thief and 2-pc-2-pc are equal power. It just depends on your relic luck.
SlowMei has no reason to not aim for 4-pc thief. You’re getting addtional defensive stats in your boots slot, getting them from sets is uneccessary and speed is unwanted.
———
If the energy cost is changed (from 130), or the percent speed buff (from 16% at level 10) from her skill is changed, this information may be incorrect.
Will she be good with Blade/Lunae?
I’m hesitating between Huo Huo and Luocha but also kinda Ruan Mei because I don’t really need Huo Huo nor Luocha but will more be the cherry on the top
Current teams are Lynx Blade Bronya Sw and Fu Xuan Lunae Tingyun Pela (can change Lynx/Fu Xuan Sw/Pela depending on the situation)
Huohuo is an upgrade for the blade team (Lynx’ aggro never gets used because of Bronya) since she’s wind and a very potent healer
Ruan Mei can work with anyone if you try hard enough, as long as the enemy is weak to the dps’ element, but ice units especially benefit from her
Luocha is completely not necessary for you
Luocha is much better then Huo Huo for Blade. Her ult gives atk and energy both things he doesnt need. Blade wants Just ocasional big heals and cleanse. Plus removing buffs from enemies can be important on many fights.
