Skip Everyone, But Don't Skip Ruan Mei... (Honkai Star Rail) 

I’m not trying to skip her, but my luck says otherwise

Def decrease is exponential in star rail so basically the more the better till you reach 100%

DEF Shred and Ignore are shared stats-which is to say, these are additive features, rather than multiplicative i.e. if you’re using E1 Ruan Mei that’s 20% DEF you’re ignoring, if you’re using E1 RM WITH say Genius of Brilliant Stars vs a Quantum Weak Enemy that’s *40%* DEF you’re ignoring, in total

Im not skipping her, she’s skipping me

I ended up pitying Ruan Mei which is okay, but then I did a dozen singles just for fun and got Himeko E3, but now I’m guaranteed Black Swan so I actually lucked out!!

"Ruan Mei obliterates Bronya" is a bit of a stretch but yeah for DHIL that's probably true. Together they are INSANE though especially for Jingliu. The most surprising thing about floor 12 imo is how it's pushing Fu Xuan beyond her limit for most people. I literally had to drop her for Gepard to get my 36*, wind shear was just eating her alive! Well I guess Jingliu's drain wasn't helping either lol. I may have to end up rebuilding her for pure tank, her personal damage just isn't worth it. Luocha is my normal go-to for Jingliu's teams but he's hardlocked to first side now to deal with the self healing cringelords.

Ruan Mei is good but also it should be noted that the effect of this cycle of MOC does favour weakness breaking. So her being able to increase break efficiency does play into that.

Glad I pulled for ruan mei this is a strong character

9:14 Welt is actually important af in this stage. welt break is significantly higher and not to mention slow to avoid dying teamates. Op af. with the domain buff.

Me who is still gonna skip her: *Interesting*

Hello, Moga! I love your videos! They're super entertaining and informative! I'm not sure if you already know or not but I only just found out that in Star Rail in Boulder Town inside the Fight Club there's a special sandbag in the corner to the right of the entrance which starts a fight with 5 tanky enemies. It could be a nice place for dps showcases ^^

RM has an amazing kit and I would love to have a great support for Blade (besides Bronya), but even after playing the last trailblaze quest I can't bring myself to care about her. Will skip, save for Black Swan and just hope for equally good harmony units in the future.

I wanted Blade more

i'm skipping her just because i won't pull characters i don't like and if i could 36 star this current moc without any quantum/ice characters i should be fine. i do agree that her kit is cracked though, if they attached a character i liked to her kit i would definitely pulll

The new path with gold and gears made my jing liu hit 2mil and was able to do it 3 times in 1 turn, wild

Need a welt raise and godmode vid lol, I’m picking him with my 300 pulls soon and it’ll help you in these next MOC floors

Defense shred actually has the opposite of diminishing returns, up until you cap it at 100%. The first 10% is roughly a 5% damage increase, 20% is roughly 11%, I think you reach parity somewhere around 60%, and 100% defense shred gives over 110% increase.

it's a shame that I'm saving for black swan but ruan mei is so good i'm going going for her on a rerun

i just got her light cone today im so happy she deals a lot of damage

GUYS DONT SKIP THIS CHARACTER!! STFU IVE SEEN THIS EXCAT FUCKING VIDEO 30 TIMES NOW. Ruan Mei is really good get her if you want.

I was considering skipping her since I already have a fair few buffers raised. I haven't really tested her though, except on the new weekly boss

To answer your question def reduction and def ignore do scale off the same way but they don't have deminishing returns basically the more the better

I’m really torn because I need another solo-sustain for my second team in MoC, but I also want Ruan Mei… I’ll probably just save for a Fu Xuan or Huo Huo rerun.

I was pulling for ruan mei in the start but decided to switch to blade since i really wanted him and i actually got him in a single, then while raising him i used the single pull i got from raising him 50 to pull on standard and got gepard! im gonna continue trying to go for ruan mei since she seems op, hopefully i get her

5 minutes left for Ruan Mei and Blade. I definitely get you next banner Ruan Mei!

Oh wow, good thing i got her

meanwhile i skipped ruan mei for blade's light cone :)

I literally just did a random 10 pull and ended up with her, did not know how to feel since i was saving for Sparkles…But I immediately received the notif for this vid. Thanks for the showcase 🙏 Update: I love her so much 🩵

I got her E1 just now, Back to saving now, She's so fun and I can run so many unit now just to break the enemy and keep delaying the enemies. So much fun and so easy to keep her buff.

I got her e1 and bronya I’m living the high life clearing fh12

Lost to Welt at 81 pity (I always lose anyways), then got her at 31 pity

[everything you said in this video] - yes, but have you seen Black Swans ultimate? Turned Ruan Mei into an easy skip. And I got E1 Himeko anyways. ^^

I love how he says skip everyone except ruan mei even though he got every character up to ruan mei😭 I really do wanna get her but idk if it's guaranteed for me to get her

I'm going for Kafka and Black swan instead; Ruan Mei will go on my rerun list

I got Ruan Mei and saving to Black Swan, Sparkle and Sam

I need help. I'm saving up for dan heng imbibitor lunae, should I pull for ruan mei? Or should I use bronya instead (I'm level 30)

Guess who i skipped to get Blade

She's a pretty great unit tbh, im very tempted but i have a built bronya. Might pull for kafka instead

300~% break effect is so fun in sim; definitely recommend!

got her randomly after getting blade, she completely changed my accounts damage output i love her

Ron may is sooooooo fun, im having a blast with her on DoT teams.

Ruan Mei is so powerful that I got her lightcone for her and I don’t think I can replace her anymore now I just gotta hope I can get Kafka e1 without guaranteed or maybe sparkle or black swan

E1 scales better the more def ignore/ def down you have.

I mean… I know I should try for her, but I think I’m going to save for a certain imaginary healer since I have the topaz, Silver wolf, and soon will have dr. Ratio

Besides the fact that she's a gigantic buffer to any team in the game, she synergizes so well with Bronya, it's not even funny. She's so sp positive, she makes bronya easy to manage every turn (especially with Jingliu). My favorite team (huohuo, jingliu, ruan mei, bronya) clears MOC 12 easily and both modes of SU with basically 5-7 blessings and the remembrance path (at E0 and no gacha LC except for e1 bronya)

Ok i think you should use blade for first half cause he is a lot tankier and use sw bronya and luocha with him and for 2 nd half i used ruan mei huohuo jingliu and tingyun i promise this will work

I was going to pull Kafka, but after seeing how cool Ruan Mei is, I decided to take a chance to pull her, because I was on 50/50 anyway. Ended up winning and I'm very happy about it. I couldn't have cleared MoC 12 without her. So glad I didn't skip

Lost my 50/50 to E1 Gepard, so thanks for this

might pull her in a rerun but for now sparkle is in way higher priority

I think I must be weird cuz I never pull for E6s or C6s on release banner ( in genshin case) I just want the character first and ill upgrade them using reruns later down the road

Got Ruan Mei on her Banner release Day on 70 pity. But because I'm weak against Mommies with beautiful thighs, I pulled her again the other day and got her again on 70 pity, and she came along with a cute friend named Bronya. Now they're both E1. Never been so happy.

I need a healer, but after I saw some people say we're getting a robot that is fire I want it

Got yanqing on her banner so now I'm stuck trying to figure out if I should use the guarantee on her or Sparkle. I'm a DHIL/Argenti/Jingyuan enjoyer so idk what to do.

It feels like Ruan Mei is the Kazuha of Star Rail

Unfortunately for me, I went for Blade. I tried getting Ruan Mei after, but obviously I failed.

i don’t really wanna skip her but i’m saving for a guaranteed for sunday

Hate that I lost sw rerun to yanqing e1 at freaking 90 pulls..

I DIDN'T WANTED TO SKIP HER AAAAA BUT I LOST 5050 and im saving for my favorite character ; sparkle

Yeah, floor 12 was hard.. took me a lot of attempts (especally because I don't have Jingliu for Ice weakness)

Is she any good with Clara? I've heard some mixed things about it

I just got into the game and I only want Jingliu… I missed her because I played the game like a day before her banner ended. Not I don’t want Ruan Mei, but I want a good dps character for now because I only use the character they gave you until you go to encounter Svarog 😅

The first true must pull of hsr yep, the kazuha of hsr

idk whether i should be happy that i got E2 bronya instead of Ruan Mei or not cause it's bronya but at the same time it's not Ruan Mei.

in floor 12, put huohuo in the first team, she will clear the dominated debuff with her skill

swap fu xuan on your first phase of moc 12 since kafka deals so much aoe damage compare to the bug you just need a healer that can cleanse in the 2nd phase of it

Acheron waiting list

With this video you literally forced me to get Ruan mai😂

I might be alone in this but I don't like the character as much so her being broken really doesn't matter much to me 😓. I admit she is broken and a universal support but I wasted so many warps on her without actually liking her. I'll stop gaslighting myself into pulling for her because she is a "must pull". I'll save for Sparkle (sorry if this is a bad take)

Luck was on my side today, (at least for her, weapon says otherwise..) I had 2 pity and got her in 2 10 pulls

I wonder if she's gonna be good with dr ratio tho? otherwise I don't wanna pull for her

sorry not sorry ruan mei is a super good support but looking at my account its better if i pull for Sparkles because i want Dr ratios lightcone, Jing yuan's lightcone, Sparkles, Sam and his lightcone, Sunday, Gallagher and jing liu rerun so if i pull for ruan mei that will mess up my pulling plans :( Besides she is going to get a rerun its not the End of the World if people skip her im good ) gonna get ruan mei on her rerun though :D :D :D

The more defense shred you have the more valuable defense ignore is

as a quantum main I have to if I want sparkle and her lc...

Try dhil, pela, tingyun,huo huo first half and then try jingliu, bronya, ruan mei, fu xuan second half i got 8 cycles out of it

I came back to the game, got her early and dont even know what she does

I'm so pissed because while trying to pull for hanya I got argenti early(guaranteed) and now I won't he able to ruan mei

She may have drained most of my savings but I’m glad she appeared at all. May all Ruan Mei wanters be havers

lost 50/50 to e1 bronya but was able to clutch up 78 tickets in 3 days because ive been suck a slacker and there was so much content to do 😅

I think I'm skipping Ruan for Black Swan

I won’t be able to get her to e1 now but even at e0 she has been obliterating everything

i am a relatively new player im lvl 38, i quit the game after blade’s first banner, i got e2 ruan mei and her light cone in around 60 pulls 😭 (i was called a liar earlier, i can provide u with ss from my history if u want xd)

I skipped her. Im an absolute idiot.

I really want black swan but i felt like ruan mei's kit is just too good to be true. I love when i can buff my entire team consistently with pretty much no downtime, and her damage+speed buff really helps Jing Yuan which i like alot

Crazy how much easier MoC is for whales. I had to finish leveling up and semi build my Sushang for MoC 10 Argentina, as I have no other ice or physical DPS. Took so many attempts and different team comps to pass 10. MoC 11 was worse, especially since it was just pray RNGesus to bless me, doing the same optimized rotations over and over again, as the only thing that I could 'optimize' more was the RNG, which is terrible gameplay mechanics. Gave up on 12, as I don't have FuXuan, Luocha or Jingliu. When you have shit luck and each limited 5 star is 150+ pulls, you end up with shit roster as a light spender (bought battlepasses at launch, as it was basically unplayable without them resource wise). Doesn't exactly motivate to ever spend more money on the game either. Played since release, have 4 limited 5-stars, Seele, SilverWolf, DanIL, RyanMei.

I pulled but got bailu i have enough to pull but i am gonna get black swan and achron 🗿

It's the third CC I've seen that can't pass moc 12... I'm impressed lol. I am fp without constellations and I pass it in 5 cycles. skill issue?

i would love to but i m out of stellar jade and at 50 pity

75 pity and already lost 50/50

Ruan Mei is very good but you gotta remember that the current MoC "blessing" is just so stupidly broken for her. With any other of the previous blessings I don't think she'd be that much better than Bronya

Just lost my 50/50 😢 no more stellar jade

yeah idk man i got about 45 pulls with 52 pity and a 50/50 to win. i think ima stick to sparkle...

I got her

I think she useful with ice characters

I don't wanna skip her but black swan and sparkle...

alright my next goal is fu xuan and jing liu, cuz i have ruan mei

6:39 Me after I pulled Fu Xuan

Uh huh heard that before

i can't pull for her, something happend in my account and i got -12k jades... I don't pull for anyone since jingliu's banner

Use dual dps with blade

As a f2p after getting lucky and gatting e1r1 ruan mei my jingliu is finally starting to hit 200k consistently outside of SU and thats with an unbuilt ruan mei
