If you’re looking for the Best Build for Ruan Mei in Honkai Star Rail, you’re in the right place. In this article, I will guide you through Ruan Mei’s best relics to use, ornaments, and more. With that said, let’s dive right in!
Ruan Mei’s Best Relic Set
She’s one of the impressive Harmony characters in Honkai Star Rail who can easily buff the team’s DMG and Break Efficiency! When this very sane genius uses her skill, she gains “Overtone” for three turns. Overtone grants DMG increase to all allies by 16% and Weakness Break Efficiency by 50%.
Her Ultimate increases her allies’ All-Type Resistance Penetration by 15%, and when they attack the enemy, it inflicts a Thanatoplum Rebloom.
Thanatoplum Rebloom extends the duration of the enemy’s Weakness Break, delaying their action by an amount equal to 20% of Ruan Mei’s Break Effect plus 10% and dealing Break DMG equal to 30% of Ruan Mei’s Ice Break DMG.

Her talent skill increases SPD by 8% for the team. When allies break an enemy target’s weakness, Ruan Mei deals with this enemy target’s break DMG equal to 60% of her ice break DMG.
With those mentioned, we must first prioritize the Break Effect substats to thoroughly take advantage of her already overpowered kit.
