What are the rumored abilities and traces of Ruan Mei in Honkai Star Rail?

The following is a list of abilities Ruan Mei is expected to possess in Honkai Star Rail:

• Basic ATK: Inflicts Ice DMG on a single target that scales with her max ATK.
• Skill: By casting the ability, she increases her SPD and allies' SPD for a certain number of turns.
• Ultimate: Deals her ATK as Ice damage to an enemy and buffs her entire team for a few turns, increasing their Weakness Break Efficiency. After breaking the enemy shield, it will further afflict them with Broken Plum Blossoms. Under its influence, if a target recovers a shield, it delays its action and extends its Weakness Break. The effect does not activate on the opponent unless they recover from a broken state.
• Talent: Increases allies' damage on an enemy with a Weakness Break.
• Technique: At the beginning of the battle, increase the ATK of the entire team for a fixed number of turns that scales with her overall attack stat.

As a Harmony character in Honkai Star Rail, her movesets are designed to provide various neutral buffs during combat. Hence, she can be paired with multiple characters in a team setup, replacing the likes of Bronya and Tingyun. On that note, the following traces are expected to roll out with her kit, increasing her potential as a support.

• Trace 1: Applies the Broken Plum Blossoms effect when all allies attack an opponent with Weakness Break.
• Trace 2: She regenerates energy points at the beginning of her turn.
• Trace 3: After acquiring a certain percentage of the ATK stat, increase the talent’s damage effect.

The leaks further showcased her Eidolons, listed below:

• Eidolon 1: Boost every ally’s ATK by using her skill.
• Eidolon 2: Increases a turn of the enhancement applied from her Ultimate.
• Eidolon 3: Increases Ultimate and Talent levels by two
• Eidolon 4: Boosts CRIT Rate while attacking targets with Weakness Break.
• Eidolon 5: The level of her Skill increases by two and her basic ATK by one.
• Eidolon 6: She receives extra Ice DMG whenever a weakened enemy is attacked.

Note that the exact scaling of her abilities is still unknown since the specified information was extracted from leaked data. However, as a 5-star unit, she will likely be a strong support in Honkai Star Rail without any Eidolons.
