With Ruan Mei on the field, all allies increase their ATK by 40% when dealing DMG to enemies with Weakness Break.

At E2, Ruan Mei remains a valuable asset with a permanent ATK bonus for allies when attacking Weakness Broken enemies. This is generally useful if the main DPS character scales with ATK and focuses on reducing the toughness of the enemy. However, it's worth noting that while characters like Firefly benefit from ATK scaling (and convert ATK to Break Effect), her kit revolves around Super Break, which doesn't typically scale from Crit or ATK values. Even so, the ATK bonus indirectly helps in such setups since she can make good use of ATK% buffs unlike Flat ATK buffs from other allies. However, the value is still not as significant or versatile as E1.

When an enemy target's Weakness is Broken, Ruan Mei's Break Effect increases by 100% for 3 turn(s).

With her last eidolon, Ruan Mei extends the duration of her Ultimate by one turn - which is a good comfort upgrade, ensuring a more consistent uptime for All-Type RES PEN buff from E1, especially for those setups / builds which cannot activate it every 2-turns with enough Energy Regeneration. Additionally, it also synergizes the Ultimate uptime better with the DMG buff from her signature light cone, Past Self in Mirror, which also lasts 3 turns. However, considering the high investment required for this Eidolon, it is still not as significant value-worth wise, especially for low spenders, despite on its own being a good QoL-oriented Eidolon.
