Ruan Mei Or Blade In Honkai: Star Rail
Ruan Mei is an Ice-Harmony character, whileHonkai: Star RailBlade is a Wind-Destruction unit. They’re featured together in version 1.6, so if players wonder whether they shouldpull for Ruan Mei orBladeinHonkai: Star Rail, they can try learning some key points about them, like their roles and suitable teams.
Roles
As their Path dictates, Ruan Mei is a buffer,whereas Blade is a DPS unit inHonkai: Star Rail. Ruan Mei also deals Break DMG on several parts of her kit, but considering she’s a Harmony character, it’s best if people know what buff she provides.
Ruan Mei can do the following for the party as a buffer:
Not only does Ruan Mei come with various buffs, but her ability to quickly break the enemy’s Toughness and delay their action meansthe team will get attacked less and deal greater damage. This is because when an enemy is on Weakness Break, theytake 10% more damage, and the action delay means the team will be safe from hits until the opponent moves again.
Meanwhile, here is a summary of Blade’s abilities as a DPS:
Blade’s kits all synergize with each otherand allow him to be atop-tier Destruction character inHonkai: Star Rail. He can survive battle easily despite the constant HP consumption because he has two sources of self-healing, and since his damage primarily scales with his max HP, players will also stack a ton of HP on him, further increasing his survivability.
Teams
When it comes to teams, Ruan Mei generally fits in any team that needs a buffer, but she shines the brightest when the partyfocuses on Weakness Break. For instance, units likeXueyiwork amazingly with Ruan Meisince Xueyi’s kit revolves around Weakness Break.Silver Wolfcan also enable various Weakness Break teams with the Member #81 of the Genius Society. Other than that, thanks to the action delay Ruan Mei provides, the team should be safe with a mediocre healer likeHuohuo.
Meanwhile, Blade isexcellent with teammates that revolve around HP loss, getting hit, taunt, and units that demand a lot of Skill Points. For instance, characters likeLynxcan give HP to Blade and cause enemies to hit him more often. Similarly,Fu Xuanincreases the party’s max HP while also greatly reducing the damage taken, making it even safer to play Blade on taunt.Luochahas none of the things listed, but his auto-healing works perfectly with Blade’s HP-loss mechanic, especially right before he uses his Ultimate.Jingliuis also great since her mechanics revolve around her teammates' HP, especially with her Light Cone,I Shall Be My Own Sword. Finally, characters likeImbibitor Lunae,who’s extremely demanding with Skill Points, will work just fine with Blade. Even though the Stellaron Hunter doesn’t restore Skill Point, he only spends one SP every three turns.
