How to Build Ruan Mei in HSR
Ruan Mei is a five-star support character who follows the Path of Harmony and has an Ice element. Her kit revolves around increasing the team’s Weakness Break Efficiency and delaying the action of Weakness Broken enemies.
The bestLight Conefor Ruan Mei is her signature Light Cone, Past Self in Mirror, which can increase her Break Effect by 60 percent. After unleashing her Ultimate, this item will also boost all allies’ DMG by 24 percent for three turns. Not only that but at the start of each wave, all party members will regenerate 10 Energy.

ForRelic, you should equip the Thief of Shooting Meteor set on Ruan Mei to increase her Break Effect by 16 percent. When she inflicts Weakness Break on an enemy, she will also regenerate three Energy, allowing her to unleash her Ultimate faster.
you may equip the Penacony, Land of the Dreams set on Ruan Mei to get more Energy Regen Rate. This Planar Ornaments set is especially useful if you are running an Ice DPS, likeJingliu, since it provides a DMG buff for allies with the same element.

The bestEidolonto unlock is Ruan Mei’s E1, Neuronic Embroidery. When her Ultimate is in effect, the DMG dealt by all allies will ignore 20 percent of the target’s DEF, increasing your total damage output.
When upgrading her Traces, you should prioritize Ruan Mei’s Ultimate and Skill to maximize her buffs potential. Afterward, you may level up her Talent so you can boost her SPD buff and Ice Break DMG. I don’t really recommend upgrading her Basic Attack since she is meant to be a support unit.
