Honkai Star Rail Ruan Mei Abilities
She is naturally inclined to help her team with her innate talent, Somatotypical Helix which accentuates the speed of all allies.
Her basic attack, Threading Fragnance allows Ruan Mei to channel a minor Ice attack on a single target. String Sings Slow Swirls, on the other hand, is a skill that allows her to gain Overtone and help increase allies’ damage and weakness Break Efficiency.
Ruan Mei unleashes her Ultimate move, Petals to Stream, Repose in Dream to accentuate the RES PEN stats for her team. Lastly, her technique, Silken Serenade allows her team to directly attack the enemy’s weakness (regardless of the attack they choose). This results in increased toughness reducing damage.
