DON'T BUILD HER WRONG! Best Xueyi Guide & Build [Best Relics, Teams, and Light Cones] - Star Rail 

I LOVE HER PLATONICALLY gonna be live tomorrow playing my f2p and praying for good xueyi relics twitch.tv/braxophone

One little detail that I like about Xueyi is that if you check her E6 image shes holding someones hand and its hanya's and if you check hanya's E6 its just the same that is the cutest thing😭

I wish she was of 5* rarity. It'd be interesting to see what more of an improvement she could have in a 5* state. Her animations are top notch as well.

I think Xueyi is my favorite release since Kafka, she makes me want to try new builds and make me play a little different

I like how there are almost what you'd call arcs or phases for Genshin and Star Rail alike and we're in the Break Effect arc. For example in Genshin, around release it was heavily focused of ATK and nearly everything scaled off of it, then came 2.0 with Raiden with ER and everything started to care about ER a lot more and then Sumuru came and the EM arc started and now onto Fontaine the Max HP arc. So I find it kind of cool how these mechanics are being shown off and just a little thing I kind of correlate with good character kits and am happy to see what the next stat or effect the focus will shift to.

I was ONLY looking for her but got Ruin Me instead at super high pity💀

Another team to have in mind is Topaz Xueyi and Asta with a sustain unit like HuoHuo, and focus on her follow up dmg while asta is helping Topaz with fire dmg bonuses.

I actually am so happy I got Ruan Mei late because I got her at E6 at the same time. She is SOOOOO fun!

That was actually an indepth guide AND entertaining video. Actually felt really refreshing to watch this compared to other guide makers 👍

Thank you I was looking for a Xueyi guide, first!

More 4* guides please! Love your content. More is always great.

I was waiting for this as I LOVE follow up attacks. Thank you for making a guide!

When Zinnia's theme kicked in at 6:28 I almost lost it. The nostalgia. I miss Pokemon ORAS. Zinnia was such an awesome character, her fight was epic, and her theme is an absolute banger. Truly legendary.

I was just looking for this!!!! LET’S GOOOOOOO

Was happy to be able to get her E6 in about 120 pulls when pulling for Ruan Mei! I can’t wait to build her as she looks super fun to play!

I pulled for Ryan Mei and ended up getting her E3 within the first 40 or so pulls (she was the only four star I got, weirdly enough). I’m super happy since I wanted her ever since she was first introduced, so thanks for this guide!

Was waiting for this one!! Thanx bro!!

I've barely built her, but her break effect tales her dmg from 6k on her ult to 14k on a break

Me who prefarmed her and ended up doing everything you had to not do Thank you for the guide! I trust your guides more than any other ones!

Letss goo been waiting for this!

Man @braxophone I have been with you for a few years now (Since the beginning of Genshin) and your vids never cease to amaze me. I can be in the shittiest mood/super down, and I know that if I log onto RU-vid and see a new vid of yours I will most certainly laugh out loud. Thank you for putting this incredible video out, as I got lucky enough to get her to E1 so far(hoping to get 2 and stop there for now). I got Ruan Mei at 70 pity and a copy of Xueyi in the same pull. Then I did one more 10 pull on Blades banner and got E1 Bronya and Xueyi (Amazing!) Question though, does Xueyi work well with Jingliu or would that team be too SP hungry? I want to use them together but also build a 2nd DPS team as I currently only have 1. Currently I am only Equilibrium lvl 2 and my units are lvl 50. I have Jingliu/Bronya/Ruan Mei/Huo Huo/Fire MC/Tingyun, and now Xueyi built to 50. I also have others like Asta/Sampo/Serval/QingQue etc Any advice would be great!

Great work as usual! Thanks for the insights and the guide. QQ: would you consider this same build style (60-120 CR-CDM and Break Effect) for Sushang? Want to build Break DPS/Sub DPS for Ruan Mei teams, and was wondering how to best go about it? Or is just pure Break Effect Luka better?

I still need to level her to max but i've already have her at E2 so when i gonna use her its gonna be alot of fun! The relic guide was what i really needed though so thanks for that!

thanks for the guide, i can't wait to build her!

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSS VIDEOOOO.

God bless, what an amazing guide. I'm watching this 5 times because im dumb and funny numbers hurt my head

I made Fu Xuan, Xueyi, Ruan Mei and Sushang and I called the team "Break Queens". Sushang with her e1 makes it so the delayed toughness regen is actually not a bad thing at all.

yes! i love Xueyi as new addtion. She's so great and easily replaces QQ in my mono qunatum lineup.

I lucked out into E6 while pulling on ruan mei and IMO the higher Xueyi's Eidolon level, the more beneficial Ruan Mei becomes for her. At E0 Ruan mei already buffs the break output, same goes for E2, and at E6 the 50% break efficiency buff from Ruan Mei lets Xueyi deal 180 toughness damage, fully filling up her follow-up stacks and turning her into an absurdly ridiculous toughness shredder for bosses and elites. It's great XD

Xueyi with the new trailblazer might just work

You're making me want to play this game bro. Keep popping off. I hope you can land that gold play button someday.

6:13 he is absolutely correct! I lost my 50/50 to Bailu. She E2 now.

Very good guide, love the humor. If I were to add one thing: Wait for version 2.0 and the imaginary version of MC to come out. He, Ruan Mei - and Yueyi will (or might become) best buddies. And as long as you see her (E2+ version) as second DPS, which is trying to lay the ground for MC's DMG, you might assess her more fairly.

Finally! Thanks, Braxy!

Ruan Mei + Xueyi is really fun. Ult gives 6 karma stacks, so at e6 it's a guaranteed followup every time. even at lower eidolons the overflow mechanic allows 2/3 ults to trigger follow ups, and that's if she's the only one breaking. Not ground _breaking_ stuff but unique and still decent. It also destroys swarm disaster

I was waiting your video to build her

Random note but mad respect for using black rock shooter music in the backgroun...truly a cultured individual Mr.brax.

gotta love her attacks animations, its honestly very satisfying to see..

for the record its not specificly quantum dmg bonus she gets from her passive its raw damage bonus but given you can only ever DO one type of damage it might as well say quantum damage bonus

dora the explorer finally had enough

I low key feel like the judge sisters are Hoyo's attempt at a synergistic pair like you see in other gacha games. That pair didnt "ruin" my team building per se, but I'm actively having a hard time justifying running them seperate from each other. My only regret is not pulling for Huohuo to build the canon judge team lmao I feel like Huohuo's energy battery utility, the atk% increase, and cleanse would be the perfect way to round it out as a team core. With maybe Tingyun as the 4th to further atk% boost and energy battery. Just thinking out loud and tossing ideas around, don't mind me 😂😂

Running her at E2 with 4pc Thief & Talia, S2 Under the Blue Sky and boi she cracked especially when paired with Ruan Mei.

Nice build Brax, been a real help clearing the Trailblaze missions... (Xueyi, flex (typicaly Qingque), Silver Wolf, Lynx seems to be easy mode for me for some reason) any tips for someone without Belebog Bronya, rather than Brony Online?

Brax, so u know, everytime i got mid to low mood, i just pop-up one of your your vid. and after 20 sec im cured of my depression so... thx :D

I just got her and I’m def going to try her out with Hanya

When you pull 5 Tingyuns in 40 pulls and zero Xueyi and you’re watching this video still cause you’re bored Edit: I got her! Whooo

Thanks to the background music you had, I thought I left the bang dream game open lmao

0:05 stop treating my Sampo like that😢😢😢 other than that, thanks for this guide! Always helpful❤️❤️❤️

lol I’m watching this after hmc. She got a huge buff with the introduction of him

I've been waiting for someone to drop a good build guide on her. I actually wanted her more than Ruan Mei but after 50 pulls I got my Bronya to E2 🤦 but I'm still hoping to get a couple eidolons for her before the end of the update

6:14 3rd Bailu in. You got me! GG! (HELP)

Harvest Moon music in a HSR guide is the last thing I was expecting

just finish building my ruan mei and just got her LC

i love the harvest moon ds soundtrack in the background

I pulled so much on ruan Mei’s banner and didn’t get xueyi once. Actually forgot that she was there cuz of that, kinda of a painful reminder. I’m just glad the new event allowed me to pick her so I could finally have xueyi

i’ve wanted xueyi ever since she first appeared in the story!!!!

0:50 YEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!! PEAKKKKKK!!!! Litteraly the best part of the video 😭

I like her design and was hoping for her to become playable and I was surprise she's this strong when upgraded to E6.

ive got a fancy e6 that will either be mono quantum, or fill in with topaz vs quantum bois :) very excited for the topaz pairing

I had to pause when you mentioned Bailu because I was going back in for more Tingyun and Xueyi Eidolons while going for E1 Ruan Mei... and I got jumped scared into E1 Bailu. Ive done about 80 pulls on each Tingyun rate up banner and she is only E2 now...

90 pulls, 2 Ruan Mei’s, 1 Xueyi Kinda wishing I got more Xueyi eidolons, I love her design

thank youu, i was waiting for her too bcoz of dual daggers style, but most of the creators of course focused on Ruan :/

i had to hardpity RM so i got gifted with 6x Xueyi in the progress... time to build her!

I have been using her with ruan mei and topaz and its pretty fun

she was one of my first characters and i couldnt be happier since i dont have a lot of good characters to choose, her ult has saved me a LOT of times

It really depends on enemy. Using Ruan Mei with Xueyi on some quantum weak swarm monster is a good combo as swarm monster toughness is higher than general monster…

I use Dr.Ratio with Xueyi as sub dps is pretty fun clearing those annoying beetle

I think this is definitely a character to keep an eye on with future characters. Obviously sparkle for Mono-Quantum, but maybe possibly another character that maybe possibly fixes the Ruan-Xueyi synergy?

I wonder how good it is now with superbreak

When I summoned for argenti and Ruan Mei, it was because I wanted Xueyi and her sister Hanya, and thought it'd just be a bonus if I got the 5 star characters, unfortunately for Argenti I just got dupes of the other 2 4 stars I already had, as for Ruan Mei, I got her but not Xueyi...mixed feelings

We will be getting a lightcone that will work very well for her with the coming shop for the pure fiction gameode

Hey brax, can you make a playlist for the how-to guides and updates for hsr?

I've been blasting all my stellar jades into pulling Topaz, as of recently focusing on Robin. I have since E6'd Xueyi and E5'd March and Hanya. I guess I'm learning how to build a couple of ten lords judges.

I personally run xueyi, seele huohuo and Ruan mei, it seems to work fine in MoC

I started playing star rail three days ago and gonna have xueyi as my main dps. I have her at e4 and she's one shotting mobs in SU.

Finally I can use my two other copies of SI that I, of course, got instantly after buying the first one

I keep getting instead of Ruan Mei. I only noticed her when i got her the fourth time. Thank god I decided to build her im enjoying her so much 😂❤

I absolutely love Xueyi!!

Since it was not mentioned in the video, how does she perform in a follow up team? She gets stack through allies reducing toughness but only 1 per action. However, follow up attackers act alot. So it sounds good on paper

The team's I use that was really good was ruin mei, herta, bronya and xueyi.

Let’s goo best girl gets her guide

Was pulling for her, hot her and Ruan Mei in the same 10-pull. The first 10-pull that is.

Thank you so much!

So I’m main-ing Xueyi at the moment and I find Ruan Mei to be actually pretty good with her, I haven’t run into a lot of situations where Ruan Meis broken extension messes up the timing for Xeuyi.

Tried to get Ruan Mei, got E1 Bailu and E1 Xueyi soooo, yeah imma need this video for Xueyi (Of course I ain’t giving up mommy Mei)

Im leveling up with Ruan mei and Xueyi, i love both of them, Xueyi gives rogue/assassin vibes, and she is also quite hot... robot or not -> Smash She is a lot of fun, also, noticed that most characters are naked in their E6 illustration? Thats nice... wish it was more detailed, but you know, there is always rule34 Thanks for the guide BROBRAX

I absolutely love her. My xueyi can deal 30k dmg without her dmg bonus talents

Just to put it out there, she gets ALL DMG up from the trace. So she gets a extra synergy from tingyun benediction buff and it's something to keep in mind if we ever get other buffs that work like that

I wanna build her because presentation wise how she looks, she looks amazing. Duel weapons that turn into a javelin in ultimate is so cool. I do have seelie but rather use the 4star since she looks more fun than seelie

Some of her moc run is really incredible, especially when she play in the hand of player know how to utilize her, she can really dish out some very very nasty dmg even in moc

So all the commotion about Ruan mei bronya I only wanted Xueyi was for mono quantum and as a fun alternative to sushang and when I got her I was very happy. Until now I'm going to go cook some pasta

Space sealing station is nice until you look at her traces and abilities and see she gains straight damage bonus from with break effect. So not only does break effect increase break damage, and you always get the quantum break which is a lot of damage, then you see talia kingdom of banditry is the optimal choice increase the quantum break effect damage, which you will commonly last hit but staight up increases the overall damage of her entire kit anyway, so you're essentially double dipping with break effect in reguards to damage. With the fact you'll be plaing her with ruan mei, most likely, the armor pen is complimented with more armor pen from the quantum 4 piece set since armor pen is more effective, the more you stack it. The quantum damage from the quantum set is also nice because you want to go atk orb, if you were to go quantum dmg orb, it would be less effective to go the quantum 4 piece set for the quantum dmg. Since qantum dmg and atk% in damage calculations multiply by each other, you'd rather have a little bit of each as oppose to maximizing a single stat. This makes 4 quantum set better than 4 break set, with the exception of poor break substats. Although, you could make the arguement that everyweek you got to farm break sets so the substats will be better. In the end 4 piece quantum is just more damage overall and better synergies.

dont really need a guide, i just love watching brax's videos

Jingliu bath water is crazy 💀💀

Thank you❤❤❤ my fav character

I went all in for Ruan Mei and ended up with a 6 Eidolons Xueyi and a 2 Eidolons Ruan Mei. As you may guess, I am in heaven!! They work beautifully together, but I agree with Braxophone that extending the break effect is a kind of anti-synergy. I think I wouldn't run them together if Xueyi had eight karma stacks, but in my current state, they are amazing!!! Honkay never disappoints.

Xueyi is fine on enemy dense fights even with the break extension from Ruan Mei because of her "tallied karma" trace. If you know what you are gonna overcap on Karma, this would give you extra stacks for your break during the turns you have down time. The problem doesn't lie with her karma stacks being delayed, it's about whether or not you want to take advantage of early breaks to dogpile on early cycles or get there later without Ruan Mei (cause her breaking is a lot worse without). Do you want to burst an enemy down and go full send earlier to refresh a cycle back to neutral in MoC or have her wait for the next cycle? If your team is fully capable of clearing in 0-1 cycle then it's worth it to run early burst breaking because you can dogpile her quantum entanglement target for massive damage. Otherwise, just run the normal build and clear safer with normal break rotations instead (just keep in mind, you will be cutting it close for cycle count). If the enemy is single target, like Kafka... then you are really screwed because you won't have other targets to hit AND your teammates won't be able to hit other targets to get you karma stacks in the meantime during Ruan Mei's break. The only benefit of this is that you are able to rush a single target down really quickly and really take advantage of that builky break effect stat, damage increase, and delay to do whatever you want with the enemy; sometimes that's all you need for a single target that you want to shut down. I've seen people post her full combo being able to delete an entire boss break by herself which is nuts if you really think about it for situations where cycle count doesn't matter.

0:36 come on man i was singing 😂

Finally, a guide on her People reallllllyyyy focused on ruan mei, I feel like they forgot that THE MOST INTERESTING character got released alongside ruan mei Can't wait to hyper invest on her.

i found playing ruan mei and xueyi together kinda frustrating, like it feels good at first but as soon as the enemies broken it just feels like you cant do anything for ages 😔
