| Technique | Silken Serenade | Obtains “Silken Serenade” after using the Technique. At the start of the next battle, automatically triggers for 1 time(s) an effect equal to her Skill. Triggering this effect does not consume Skill Points. When Ruan Mei has “Silken Serenade,” actively attacking a target in Simulated Universe to enter battle will be regarded as attacking their Weakness to enter battle, and this attack can deplete Toughness regardless of Weakness types for all enemies. When inflicting Weakness Break in this way, triggers Break Effect corresponding to the Weakness Type of the attack. With every Blessing in possession, increases Toughness DMG of this attack by 100%. At the same time, increase Break DMG equal to 100% of Ruan Mei’s Ice Break DMG. |

While inside the field, all allies’ All-Type RES PEN increases by 12.0%. After allies launch an attack, they will apply Thanatoplum Rebloom to the enemy target(s) hit. Thanatoplum Rebloom is triggered when enemies attempt to recover from Weakness Break, extending the duration of their Weakness Break state and delaying their action. Their actions are delayed by 15% of Ruan Mei’s Break Effect + 10%, as well as dealing Ice Additional DMG equal to 90% of Ruan Mei’s Ice Break DMG. Enemy targets cannot have Thanatoplum Rebloom re-applied to them until they have recovered from Weakness Break. |
