2. Ruan Mei… Is the WORST character in Honkai: Star Rail. And not because she’s weak (it’s just the opposite), but because, well…
   1. Lore and quest.
   I can tolerate SIMPing after Kafka. Kafka is a criminal, but she regrets nothing and thinks she’s saving the world. I can tolerate SIMPing after Signora. She’s a pure villian, but, again, she’s doing her job and regrets nothing. Ruan Mei is… well… A criminal of life. She commited the deadly sin of any scientist. She created intelligent life and didn’t take responsibility. Her “children” in a form of some intelligent jellycats are wandering around the restricted zone alone, being attacked by the bugs and other lifeforms. I’ll kill her if I saw her and was able to. I’m not joking. As I’d already said, a pure deadly sin. Leaving your creations alone begging you to come back, and they are not even humans, they are not able to grow up and to live independent, they are some kind of pets (but still intelligent). I don’t believe Twitter still hadn’t blown up in hate on her. I hate Ruan Mei from the bottom of my heart and… There are some other reasons.
   2. Design.
   If this is not “defalut”, show me the “defalut”. Common woman model with not bright, boring blue, black and white design. Zero interesting details. Fun fact: She’s wearing chinese clothes not being from Lofu.
   3. Skills…
   That’s where the real fun begins.
   Her skillset is broken. Broken so much I still can’t believe this is in the game.
   Her E gives your team 68% damage boost just for fun. For the fact you’re pressing E on the support once every three turns. And… Gods, if that was all…
   Her skill gives her team 50% break efficiency. Just think a bit. Stop writing negative reply and use your brain the first time after a year of three button pressing. ANY unit in your team breaks 50% faster. ANY. For three turns. And buff bigger than Bronya’s on top of it. I can’t say it’s busted, it’s… Well… so absurdly broken to its most core, that I still can’t believe it exists. The differense of teams with Ruan and without her is so absurdly high that it makes me think Hoyos are insane. And remember, this… Thing is active for three turns, that means there are NO cases then this buff is not on you.
   Her passive gives the team a bit of damage from Ruan and 10 speed and 20% BE just for her existence, yes, I should say 10 speed is a big buff in fact and it’s busted with 100% uptime? Well it is, but it’s nothing compared to the rest, let’s continue.
   Her ult. A cherry on top. Factically, it makes any enemy with break skip a turn, which is absurdly busted, and shares a bit of the rarest stat in the game (all-type RES PEN). Yes, it’s broken to the core. Yes, I hate her kit. A difference between a pack with and without her is so absurdly high it makes me want to quit playing this dumb gacha. And… If you’re playing a character who is playing around break (Himeko, for example), you just can’t play without her.
   Overall, she’s the worst character ever designed by hoyos. She completely broke the balance in the game. I’m Ruan’s personal hater and I won’t change my mind. I’m lacking of expression because I’m tired of explaining how awful she is.

     • Hadn’t even pulled for her lol. Read the comment. I’m trying to be objective and show why this character is a piece of pure game break. Right now Ruan is almost necessary if you want to clear everything fast and without troubles. Bug world boss can give you a really hard time if you don’t have Jinglu or Ruan, for example. You just can’t break his shield in the period given and the egg attack is almost oneshotting. But when Ruan appears, the bug becomes an obedient puppy. Yes, the enemies in the game are made for newest characters.

       • Look at me, I have the moral high ground, therefore you can’t call me skill-issued for struggling to beat a weekly boss without resorting to the best DPS and Support in the game. Wah wah. The meta is broken in a single player game, oh nooo.

         • what skill? this game heavily requires luck instead of skill lmao what kind of weed are you on rn? You’re a genshin player thinking hsr works the same way?

           is getting good rolls on your artifacts a skill now? is characters having low scaling or high scaling a skill now? bro please, think before you comment so you won’t embarrass yourself

   • I’m glad to see someone else share a similar opinion to mine regarding Ruan Mei. Though i don’t agree on her visual design, i think she looks pretty good, her colours are supposed to be gentle and subdued, also don’t get why she’s chinese but not a big deal.

     When it comes to her character you didn’t even describe all the awful things she does/did in her quest.
     First thing she does is drug the MC, okay pretty efd up but not critical, moving on.
     Then we learn that she made intelligent life and the thing that makes this in my opinion the worst of her deeds is the fact that she created LIVING, THINKING, F*#@%&G DESSERTS. And this is somehow supposed to make her come of as cute or smth? She made these poor creatures, gave them intelligence on par wih humans, bodies made of sweets and just abandoned them.
     WHO DOES THAT? Who makes intelligent sweets on a whim? Those aren’t the actions of a likeable character, those are the actions of an absolute psycho.
     But that’s not even it, later we find out that she decided to clone, arguably the most dangerous creature to ever exist in the universe, basically just to see if she could, AND she tasks us of disposing of it. Like, yeah, she knows she made a mess but she’s not going to be the one cleaning it up.
     JESUS, i’ve seen actual villains 100 times more likeable than her. Oh, and keep in mind this is just the stuff that’s related to her quest, who knows what kind of atrocities she comits outside of it. Screw hunting Yaoshi, this is who Xianzhou should be going after.

     However the real reason i hate her character isn’t even because of the things she did/does (altough they are definetely enough) it’s because of the way they are trying to portray her as this aloof, socially awkward genius who doesn’t care about norms and just does whatever she wants, BUT who you’re still supposed to find likeable.
     If you could at least properly react to her actions that would be one thing. But nope, you just nod and go do what she asks.

     Oh, and about her kit, yeah i pretty much 100% agree, to say she’s overtuned would be an understatement.

   • Have you watched Acheron? After it, you will completely forget about your strength to Ruan Mei, because Acheron’s usefulness is much greater than that of Mei

     • Err… No. Acheron is a DPS character. Yes, she has cracked damage, but she can’t fit any comp. Acheron has normal character and fact is, her break is meh. She’s not much better than sparkle IL and at least she uses unpopular supports. Yeah, she’s still boring and her kit is “just ult”, but she’s still not as broken as Slutan.

         • No, I won’t my last 3 50%. Just this game is too freaking boring and stupid.
           Damage types are not so crucial. They can buff ult dmg and skyrocket Acheron, or buff NAs and skyrocket IL, but this is for one abyss only.

   • lil bro thinks this game is competitive. Yeah it’s fine when theres broken character one another. I mean look at acheron, she broke the game and completely trivialize overworld enemy encounter. Wasn’t that also a stupid game design?

     • Was. But no one cares. And “one broken character after another” is NOT okay because it means that every character is stronger than the previous and we have a precious word for this – “powercreep”.
       Also, this game is single player, but I can’t close the abyss and even some overworld bosses like bug or aventurine before the nerf in story quest, because they need to give the dolphins at least some challenge and dolphins have characters like RM , who make this game like two times easier than without her. And not only characters, mobs are becoming much stronger too. (Aventurine with “be lucky or be oneshot” says hello).

       • I still struggle to understand what brain rotted, youtuber starving for content decided to propagate the idea powercreep is this ooga-booga big thing in this game.

         You do realise Seele was able to 0 cycle SAM, arguably the strongest boss we’ve had this far, with only release characters? Let that sink in, characters from patch 1.0 were able to 0 cylce (arguably) the hardest boss, designed specifically not to be 0 cycled. (Ty, Bronya + Pela fyi)

         Y’all just hate to admit 5 star characters are in the same ball park because it’d be boring. We have to dramatize everything to make it seem interesting. It’s rly not that deep

         • Seele can 0 cycle Sam? Sure, but please remember we can not have billion constellations and not 400/100 stats.
           and yeah, powercreep doesn’t exist. Surely JY hadn’t powercreep Serval. And surely Acheron hadn’t powercreep JY. It’s obvious that RM hasn’t powercrept Asta in her only team (dots). Surely BS hasn’t powercrept Sampo. No doubt Sparkle hasn’t powercrept Hanya. Hanabi surely hasn’t powercrept Bronya in most of her teams despite Jinglu ones. Jinglu absolutely sure hasn’t powercrept Yanqin, IL hasn’t powercrept Welt DPS. I can continue. You can use another good word – “sidegrade” and “AnOtHeR PlAyStYlE”, but about what playstyle are we talking about in two button game. In Genshin you really may dislike playing CA DPSes, for example, because they are hard in terms of timing, and more examples. In HSR numbers are the only thing that has value. So the ones with bigger damage per cycle are by far the best. And it’s funny HOW strong the powercreepers are. Let’s compare Hanya and Sparkle.
           Hanya can give a 30% damage increase on a SINGLE enemy and restore 2(or 3) SP for three ally attacks to the target of her skill. яIn the end, we win one SP and its E6. And speed and ATK -buffing ult with small uptime. Sparkle, well, is sparkle. 100% crit dmg, broken action advance, 48% affix, 4(!!!) SP on ult once every three turns, etc. Or we can compare Asta to RM and you’ll see how funny the difference is.
           Friendly reminder: Kazuha’s 40% affix is his only own buff and Sucrose’s C6 has 20% affix and remember she buffs a lot of EM. without skill forms and the fact Kazuboy gathers must stronger their buffs are almost similar. Or Sucrose may be even stronger in Em comps. THIS is healthy power-up.

   • U sure? Arlan exists. But yeah, you severely need some grass touching if youre hyperemotional over a characters design you dislike. Like honestly, delete twitter, stop visiting reddit, your stench is so putrid at this point its visible.

     Gave me a good laugh tho, thx :-*

7. Probably the 1st purely evil female character in the Holoverse (although I have never played Honkai Impact so they might exist there as well).

   Plenty of evil male characters, but they tend to be minor characters that just exist as caricatures to be mocked and laughed at, the common trope of the cartoonishly selfish and incompetent old men in power, but the female villains tend to have a sob story to explain their behavior, Not Ruan Mei though, at least not yet she just seems to be an a-hole for the heck of it.

   • I don’t remember Signora having a sob story… (although I forgot most of what happened in Inazuma)
     And as for male villains being caricatures… take a good look at Otto Apocalypse, the best villain in the Hoyoverse

     • Assuming Signora is the Crimson Witch of Flames then, yes he has a sob story. It is just not told in the main storyline.

   • I mean, yes, Ruan Mei has a god complex, but it’s not necessarily “pure” evil. I believe pure evil means the absolute evil, without mercy nor morals. Ruan Mei only has zero care only towards her creations, but towards her fellow humans, she’s just socially awkward.

     It’s 20% vs whatever Pela’s is (idr but higher than 20%)

10. what a nice unit. she’s great for double Dmg dealers team.
    she also should be amazing for no sustain team with another support/debuff built toward dmg. now 3 teammates will do good dmg.
    you have to worry less about dying due to her break assist and adding delay to enemy. with enough Dmg then you should be able to 1-2 cycle one half of MoC while taking minimal Dmg.
