Best Ruan Mei Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail

Ruan Mei’s 5-star Light Cone is the best one for her

Among the various Light Cones available in Honkai Star Rail, Past Self in Mirror stands out as the top choice for Ruan Mei. Its immense strength lies in its ability to enhance the wearer’s Break Effect by 60%-100%. Additionally, when the wearer unleashes their Ultimate, it boosts the DMG of all allies by 24%-40% for a duration of 3 turns.

If the Break Effect of the wearer reaches 150% or more, 1 Skill Point will be restored. At the beginning of every wave, all allies will immediately gain 10.0 Energy. The Light Cone can only be acquired through Light Cone warp when it is accessible.

On the other hand, if you are seeking a more budget-friendly choice, Memories of the Past is an excellent 4-star option. This Light Cone is particularly effective for Ruan Mei, especially when used at Superposition 5. Another option is to use Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds, but it does not quite measure up to the quality of Memories of the Past.

2-piece Set Bonus: Enhances Break Effect by 16%.

4-piece: When the wearer activates their Ultimate on an ally, the Break Effect for all allies will be boosted by 30% for a duration of 2 turns. This effect cannot be accumulated.

The ideal Ornament set for Ruan Mei is the Penacony, Land of the Dreams set. It provides a 5% increase in Energy Regeneration Rate for the wearer and a 10% damage boost for all allies with the same DMG type. This set is particularly effective for teams with strong ice units, such as Jingliu, who can greatly benefit from its effects.

Optimal Ruan Mei Team Composition in Honkai Star Rail

Ruan Mei is a formidable unit in Honkai Star Rail, known for her exceptional power. She is currently the top choice in the meta and it would be unwise to not acquire her. She is versatile and can be effective in various team compositions, but the strongest combination would be Jingliu, Ruan Mei, Gepard, and Pela.

This team consisting of mono-Ice units is capable of effortlessly conquering all types of content in the game. Additionally, it is also highly efficient as Pela, a 4-star unit, and Gepard, easily obtainable from the standard Event Warp, are part of it. Although Jingliu is a limited unit, if you happen to have her, assembling this specific team is not a difficult task. Alternatively, Gepard can be substituted with Luocha to create an equally formidable team.

In addition, you can choose either Jingliu, Ruan Mei, Bronya, and Huohuo, or Ruan Mei, Xueyi, Imaginary Trailblazer, and Gallagher.
