Ruan Mei Best Teams

Free-to-play Break Team

F2P Break comp where Ruan Mei increases party DMG and Break Efficiency. March 7th scales with Ruan Mei's RES PEN and Break buffs, while Trailblazer (Harmony) can enable Super Break DMG and Gallagher provides sustain and Break synergies.

Break-Effect Scaling Team

Ruan Mei buffs units that scale on Break Effect (e.g., Firefly, Fugue). She also delays enemy recovery from Weakness Break, giving more windows to apply Super Break DMG or DoTs.

DoT / Break Efficiency Team

Ruan Mei is excellent on DoT teams: she delays Weakness Break recovery and increases Break Efficiency so DoTs trigger more often and enemies stay broken longer.

Toughness / Preservation Team

Use Ruan Mei with DPS that output large amounts of Toughness DMG. Slot another offensive support or a Preservation healer when you need more survivability.

Dual DPS (example)

Ruan Mei enables Dual‑DPS teams by buffing the entire party. Useful vs single Elite targets when both DPS share the target's weakness; many DPS pairings are possible (examples provided).

Ruan Mei deploys a Zone that lasts for 2 turns. The Zone's duration decreases by 1 at the start of her turn. While inside the Zone, all allies' All-Type RES PEN increases by 15% and their attacks apply Thanatoplum Rebloom to the enemies hit. When these enemies attempt to recover from Weakness Break, Thanatoplum Rebloom is triggered, extending the duration of their Weakness Break, delaying their action by an amount equal to 0.2% of Ruan Mei's Break Effect plus 0.1%, and dealing Break DMG equal to 0.3% of Ruan Mei's Ice Break DMG. Enemy targets cannot have Thanatoplum Rebloom re-applied to them until they recover from Weakness Break.

After using the Technique, gains Silken Serenade. At the start of the next battle, automatically triggers the Skill for 1 time(s) without consuming Skill Points. In Simulated Universe or Divergent Universe, when Ruan Mei has Silken Serenade, the team actively attacking enemies will always be regarded as attacking their Weakness to enter battle, and this attack can reduce all enemies' Toughness regardless of Weakness types. When breaking Weakness, triggers Weakness Break Effect corresponding to the attacker's Type. For every Blessing in possession (up to a max of 20 Blessings will be taken into account), additionally increases the Toughness Reduction of this attack by 1%.
