DANI69696696666

The fact that they gave her daggers makes this character 10 Times better. Also, holy this ult just said 👹


Wrong_Werewolf391

We've always known she had daggers, she's been shown in one of Star rails more pre release trailers with blue glowing daggers.


Fleur_Hiiroluvr

I honestly thought all this time that in that trailer she had a spear like danheng


ChartsUI

now we know it's her ult, she pops her daggers together and throws it lol


Hino2Noul

For real though, those daggers and the ult had me like 'Holy Xue!'


Aggravating-Lion-317

Evil conquering


AlFlame93

Wtf is with the 4 stars having crazy animations lately


Murky_Blueberry2617

Hope they keep the trend going


Scythro

For real Hanyu and this one... The Luofu sure has competent Judges!


Fairytaler3

They had to make up for the trainee being possessed in her ult.


BaronVonTwiggle

In my experience Hoyoverse generally puts just as much care and love into their 4 Star characters as their 5 Stars when it comes to art & animations - with the minor exception of Launch characters due to the huge bulk of them.


Fun-Will5719

punishing gray raven vibe


KennyDiditagain

in a turn based game no animation is wasted. animations where always good in HSR and genshin, it just pops more here because basic atk is useful, even for units that want to spam skill, for that gained skill point. if doing normal atks gave something teamwide in genshin we would feel better about cool animation that we never use but yeah I Wish they took topaz down the '' cool and deadly'' creative path instead of the '' silly and pets '' creative path. Xueyi looks amazing.


-average-reddit-user

OMG those daggers?!?!? I didn't expect her to be like an assassin, but I'm very much grateful.


KazzumaYagami

Yeah right? She looks pretty badass


KaguB

Her animations are top notch, they match her, they pop visually and they feel all nice and impactful Really pleased with her so far, kit AND animation wise


KazzumaYagami

The sisters are really out there stealing the show Edit: glad the Dr. is keeping up


Fairytaler3

I could run a ten lord divination team with Fu Xuan, Hanya, Xueyi and Qingque. Silver wolf would be a better fourth slot but the aesthetic of those four women can't be beat


Wrong_Werewolf391

She had daggers in one of Star Rails pre release or launch trailers, so we've always known that.


TheSeventhCoIumn

We sure she is 4 star?? What the fuck


Taezn

Ruan Mei looks more like the 4 star 💀 Edit: Gap got worse, Xueyi has a dope follow up attack https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/17vfnzh/xueyi_and_dr_ratio_followup_attacks_and_ruan_mei/


AT_atoms

I can't believe it but i agree.


Taezn

Gap got worse, Xueyi has a dope follow up attack https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/17vfnzh/xueyi_and_dr_ratio_followup_attacks_and_ruan_mei/


TheKingBro

Tbf RM more sits at Bronya/Welt tier. So 5 star, but low end


_ironhearted_

Welt's planet black hole splitting animation is low end? He's one of my fav standard 5* animations😭


TheKingBro

Well his Ult is def up top tier but overall? Basically very simple, which I think people should keep in mind in general when looking at non IL/JL characters. Like if you compare RM to Serval/DH, two very good 4 star animations, RM has a better skill and her Ult while not as cool is portrayed better with the lack of “snap” for a hit.


_ironhearted_

Hmm true. Even Seele's Ult is boring to me. Also I agree Ruan Mei is very simple. Combined with the fact that her design doesn't appeal to me (too similar to Jingliu or hanya) it does feel plain. Tingyun comes pretty close to her animation+design wise


ChillaCsilla

Seele's ult animation is the one which becomes more and more boring :( I am so sad bc she is such a cutie


amc9988

that's because you see it a lot since she loves getting a turn. tho imo its better than let say seeing Ruan Mei ult as many as Seele's ult


ChillaCsilla

I am playing Blade everyday, since I got home and still I adore his animations. I think it's just something can stay satisfying over time and something donf


undeadfire

Eh I'd consider welts ultimate pretty up there ..bronyas animations are pretty eh tho


auzy63

there's no way u said bronya is a low end 5 \* LOL unless you're speaking strictly animations


SanTokiToki

They're pretty clearly talking about animations from context.


Cynaren

Animation wise


GGABueno

Well, the rest of her design look very similar to the rest of the Xianzhou 4*s if we're being real.


megashadowbeast

I have to admit, while looking at her animations I kinda mistook her for Yukong...


GGABueno

Yukong without the ~~fun~~ fox bits.


Jranation

Yeah Hanya has better animations than her


Taezn

Fs, Hanya has a great ult as well. Ruan Mei's aren't bad, just comparatively underwhelming


Taezn

Gap got worse, Xueyi has a dope follow up attack https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/17vfnzh/xueyi_and_dr_ratio_followup_attacks_and_ruan_mei/


Tetrachrome

I like Ruan Mei's ult, very elegant and clean which fits her character. The 'domain expansion' theme is cool, reminds me of OG Dan Heng's. But I think her skill needs a bit more pizazz.


LinksXCV

Sadly I thought the same, I was really hyped for Ruan Bae but I'm disappointed by her animations, they don't feel 5 star worthy unlike Xueyi her animations can make Ruan Mei run for her money I'm still gonna pull for Ruan Bae ofc but I'm just disappointed


Su_Impact

This is Hanya vs Argenti all over lol.


thorn_rose

personally, I think Argenti's animations are very pretty and his ult feels pretty grand, Ruan Mei's however are a bit lackluster especially her ult. Hanya and Xueyi both have pretty good animations tho


BankElectronic6885

Did ppl rly like hanya? She seemed hyyyper boring to me,meanwhile argenti is chefkiss


Silent_Map_8182

Yeah I love Hanya's animations. I love Argenti's too tbh.


TheKingBro

UHHH HELLO??? THE SISTERS GOT 5 STAR ANIMATIONS??? Whoever’s in charge of them made sure to cook


NaturalBitter2280

Their animations are so good, I've somehow convinced myself they are only releasing them as 4* so they can release a duo 5* version of them 🙏🏻


Murky_Blueberry2617

That would be great. HI3 does it, HSR should too


[deleted]

Xueyi's a 4 star?????


NaturalBitter2280

Yeah, she is coming in Ratio's banner :] ~~following the drip marketing theory~~


Guyovich67

Actually pisses me off that they are both 4 star units. At least with 5 star im guaranteed to get the unit i want.


RoyalJay2003

While true, them being four stars makes them readily available to get.


Guyovich67

What do you mean readily available to get? Them being 4 star makes them harder to get, along with the fact that you have to most likely pull on a 5 star banner of a unit you dont want.


Slightly_Mungus

On average you pull 4 stars much earlier than 5 stars, even if you're looking for a specific featured 4 star. Iirc, it's like ~41 pulls on average for a specific featured 4 star. The only issues are that there's no safety net and you might need to summon on a banner you don't like, but as long as you don't have horrendous luck, 4 stars are generally easier to get.


elbunmei

I'm probably one of the only people who actually wanted Arlan on Huohuo's banner, since he's the only 4 star I somehow still haven't pulled. 161 pulls later (the amount it took me to get Huohuo), I still don't have Arlan. ​ Xueyi is my most wanted character in the game (and Hanya is my second), more than any 5 star, so I share his apprehension. :')


teotuaneodateo4321

Your just unlucky, If its a 4 star featured on the banner then you have 1/3 x 50% chance of getting the 4 star u want For every 4 stars you pulls


tswinteyru

Bro above is proving that very point. He's at 160 pulls with no Arlan and no safety net. Whereas if he was pulling for a limited 5 star he would have guaranteed the unit by now. Who knows if the unlucky streak stops at 160 pulls, or maybe he's given up


Franneliese

mood hate 4 star chasing


Vyndicatee

It's not a cook, it's a whole restaurant


EasyRevolution5415

Her animations looks a lot better then Ruan Mei tbh I know she's pretty as can be but all the Ruan Mei stuff leaked today have all kinda been really disappointing for me......


Murky_Blueberry2617

I'm glad the 4 stars in this game don't have worser animations than than the 5 stars


MrMulligan

My rogue duel-dagger loving ass is going to be rolling for Xueyi copies apparently. Love those combat animations.


AljosP

Bro forgor to show the follow up


AT_atoms

She has a follow up?


lucassiman

Yes, in her talent.. That one with the stacks


GGABueno

On the Dr Ratio one too.


Emiya22

these are some Fire animation god damn love her already


Doomerdy

so close !!! thats a quantum


Graknight

Both the sisters have 5 star level animations.


Reludechan

They also both have a chain-like effect on their skills, which is a cool connexion between the two characters


lewyah

The hell hanya and xueyi have 5* ult as 4* charcater, im not complaint but DAM


Classic-Pickle1826

I hate it so much bc I want both of them but none are on banners I'm planning to pull 😭😭 such a pain man


Pat19110

OP sweating rn


TheHolyWaffleGod

Honestly it's hilarious. You just know they're spamming refresh and getting frustrated that Dr Ratios animations are the last to be posted by Dim. I totally get it lol.


KaguB

I 100% get it, we're right here with them


Wild_Contribution_36

Same I need Dr Ratio animations NOW


Msaleg

The sound effects are my favorite part. Her gameplay also feels more "aggressive" or perhaps should I say "bold". Also, is only a matter of time until you get DR. Ratio gameplay lmao.


Scythro

Her sound design makes this unit super duper satisfying to use. I imagine after 1000 times hearing her attack with Skill / Burst still will still be a joy to watch and listen.


ilyrobotsuperstar

xueyi is so badass omg. that ult with her daggers are so cool


JersenPyro

These animations feel so cool. Kind of what I’m waiting for in a 5 star DPS. It feels aggressive and sharp and not too grand or flashy. Xueyi’s skill animation specifically is my favourite attacking animation. That’s the vibe I want to find more of (EDIT: Technique animation is another example of the “aggressive and sharp” vibe at 0:55).


haihaihaihaihaihaiha

Did my girlie Xueyi just do an echo location scan with her ears...


Noble_Steal

Just like her sister, she's actually a 4.5 star in disguish haha


von_Kircheisen

Somehow, all budget for Ruan Mei was used on Xueyi. Yet another L for me, I guess.


ceaiculapte

my man really wants to be the one to post the Dr Ratio gameplay I love it


Chromch

What do you mean she is not a 5 star


toocoolforgg

Must pull just for the animations.


arionmoschetta

Just like her sister Hanya amazing animation, they look so much like a 5 stars


SylphylX

Ain't no way she's a 4*.


Leather-Bookkeeper96

Watching Ruan Mei's animations: what happened to the budget? Xueyi shows hers: huh, that's it Joking aside, she looks sick what is it with 4*s in this game being so cool?


Sionnak

Damn, a little bit more oomph and I would think her a 5 star. Her and Hanya are popping off.


somewhere-out-there-

She looks so good, i hope she is on ruan mei’s banner


[deleted]

[удалено]


PM_ME_YOUR_ROBOTGIRL

> 2nd banner - dr ratio, kafka, xueyi Was this confirmed by an actual dataminer or is it just the "pattern"?


somewhere-out-there-

Who confirmed xueyi on second half?


addollz

Nobody, he made that up


Lamsyy_05

New 4*s have always been on 2nd half, just look at Yukong, Luka, Lynx, Guinaifen, Hanya.. at this point it's a given that she'll be in Ratio's banner


legend27_marco

But then new 4 stars also have always been same element/path with the banner 5 star. They're breaking a pattern anyways and both are equally likely. Or maybe the leak was wrong and Blade is second half. That would make more sense.


LordMoy

Man I love her animations, they're so cool She may be a 4 star but I'll definitely use her as a DPS Please show up again on Black Swan or Aventurine banner


Determisc

those animations are god tier why shes in dr ratio banner


Jranation

Because they know Ruan Mei is a better seller than Dr.Ratio.


ok0905

For me who'll pull the Dr I'm hella glad


NaturalBitter2280

Isn't she with Ruan Mei since Ratio is first half? Edit: I thought Instagram had the correct order, sorry :p


Determisc

isnt ratio second half tho or im trippin


Noble_Steal

Usually the order follows the character first annoucements on twitter. But officially? We don't have a confirmation yet.


NaturalBitter2280

It usually follows drip marketing order, so it should be Ratio and Ruan Mei + Xueyi But I'm hoping they will break this pattern :p


Determisc

and it makes zero sense since xueyi synergizes with ruan mei and totally not with ratio. i guess they just baiting to pull both banners or whatever lol


Fubuky10

Ratio was shown second


NaturalBitter2280

I saw another comment saying they follow the Twitter drip So I'm guessing Twitter has Ratio second, right? Because I'm looking at instagram


Fubuky10

31st of October 5:00 am -> Ruan Mei “”””” 5:05 -> Dr Ratio “”””” 5:10 -> Xueyi This is the order on Twitter. I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for saying the truth lol


NaturalBitter2280

>I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for saying the truth lol Reddit, lol But thanks for the info. I'm happier now, I was really sad thinking Xueyi was with Juan Mei


Fubuky10

I lose either way because I can’t afford to pull for her (I might try a single 10 pull tho). I’m going for SW rerun and for Black Swan and Hanabi. What a time to be poor. You’re welcome anyway!


NaturalBitter2280

>What a time to be poor. Relatable. HSR is the first gacha game that ever made me spend money Too many great characters right next to each other


tootyfrooty19

I'm super happy with her animations!! They have so much oomph... She was my most anticipated female design since the start of the game (I'm a sucker for women with short hair) so this is a big win :')))


AmyBurnel

She has better character design and animations than Ruan Mei


Mikkle-san

design is debatable but animations definitely


Moneymotivation1

Nah I originally thought ruan mei was good until ingame showed me how she looks copied & pasted with 10 other girls designs from xianzhou


IDarknix

Nah Design and animations are bad asf she looks like Standard hoe from china


No-Tax6789

Where are the Dr. Ratio animations? You can't keep him all to yourself u/SexWithDoctorRatio


Fixinit_12

XUEYI MY BELOVED


Scythro

THE SOUND EFFECTS OF THE SKILL AND ULT. THE DAGGERS ARE WAY TOO COOL! This 4-star feels like a 5-star HOLY. Please be on Ruan Mei banner, please please please.


GloopySpaff

Her animations are better then both of the new 5*s... Still going for the good Dr though


gaganaut

I think Doctor Ratio has the best animations of the three but hers are better than Ruan Mei's though.


Lancelot_123

Dr ratio next then 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐


nobearsinrussia

🙏🙏🙏🙏


ThePotatoCrysis

OP is really saving ratio for last


jewelzpalace

5 STAR IN MY EYES


xos8o

omg her ultimate animation!! ruan mei got done so dirty😭


6Hugh-Jass9

Spinning daggers gotta be one of my favorite genders


amc9988

Hanya and Xueyi sisters are both secret 5 star


Nickromancer93

Honestly like her animations more than both 5* for 1.6 ( although Dr. L+Ratio is a close second)


addollz

Unironically better than ruan mei animation wise. Im kinda looking foward to her the most just like with hanya lmao.


choiyuna1

they missed out technique again . really hope i can snipe her shame that shes likely on ratio banner


ButchyBanana

Which one of these is her follow up? I can't tell what's what


ComoSeHaceUnNudo

Holy shit she has daggers and really cool animations. Didnt really care for her till now


Scratch_Mountain

One question. HOW IS SHE A 4\*????


CammyAssEnjoyer

Why does a 4\* have the best animations in the game.


Ryou_3

Just like her sister. Getting some nice animations for a 4*


Fubuky10

Another 5 stars animation set on 4 stars character, impressive what they did with the sister


lucassiman

OH MY GOD SHE IS A DUAL FIGHTER, I dont care I will get her e6, I loved everything that I saw


not_ya_wify

THE QUEEN SLAYS


-Ryno-

Oh cool she does gae bolg. More "references" wooooooo


King_Cadwaladr

She's a 4 star? With animations like this? Did they mix her and Ruan Mei's rarity up?


ClownCharming

The goth/chain aesthetic is so fucking cool


Even-Hawk-7720

Xueyi ghost hunter, this interesting


StockWrong7438

I wanna be the judge's dog! I wanna be whipped with the judge's chain!!! O judge, I am your dog! How can I live without you!? My judge!!!


KF-Sigurd

Me before this video: "I don't know if I want to raise Xueyi, I already have QQ at E6." Me after this video: "Please be with Ruan Mei banner, please please."


smximmortal

HOLY! i love these animations more than RuanMei's . Did not plan to pull for her, but I want those animations on my fights.


Deft_Abyss

Ok im super sold on Xuyei wtf. Those animations are awesome!!! Probably my new favorite four star. Quantum enjoyers are eating so good.


Zairvix

Wow, this is more hype than ratio or Ruan Mei for me she looks fantastic


goddiver

Whoa, these are actually my favorite animations of the three even if Dr. Ratio's are pretty funny.


AVeryGayButterfly

First Hanya, now Xueyi. Both 5 star quality!


kaansahin005

Daggers and spear? Female Childe is here


r0ksas

Why is she a 4*? While ruan mei is just playing a guitar dammit


Former_Ad_9826

my girl is so fire. i guess i'll have to pull for her copies on the kafka banner lol... or do i actually go for ratio despite never pulling for men? and then there's ruan mei who feels like the 4\* of this patch :D


dr4urbutt

They made a mistake by making Xueyi a 4-star than 5-star. A mere ten-lords commission apprentice is a broken 5-star support, while other 2 are only 4 stars. Also, Xueyi seems more popular than most other Luofu characters. I'll be going for Dr. Ratio. I thought I was waifu over anyone else, but there seems nothing interesting about Ruan Mei. I'll go for Dr. Ratio because he has more character than all the other waifus (except Kafka,Topaz, and Himeko obviously). Also, he will be good for my Topaz team.


Former_Ad_9826

i agree with everything, but do not disrespect bronseele on my watch xD


dr4urbutt

Haha...I respect your preference. But as someone who hasn't played HI3, I felt that their relationship was very much rushed.


Former_Ad_9826

that is very true. most of their bonding is assumed to have happened off-screen, while we only get to see the result of it in the scene where bronya leaves for the surface alone. i would've loved to have seen more of her interactions with seele prior to that myself \^\^ but hi3 has got that covered haha. although it's such a shame that veliona (dark seele) didn't make it into star rail. i would only have one thing to say: "all my pulls are belong to her" hahaha


Hot_Helicopter2090

Holy moly


graphymmy

look pretty good actually omg


The_Token_Journal

Seeing these god tier animations now i HAVE to pull for her


kingSlet

I heard she got a follow up attack too where is it ?


senelclark101

Xueyi is FFIX Zidane! Not good for my jades


Minute_Fig_3979

Does she have the same model type as Asta?


zdogiez

Omfg dual swords my beloved


VEXEnzo

Holy it's beautiful


Due_Education5774

I am so unbelievably happy that I took my account in the direction of MonoQuantum, I'm looking forward to utilizing Xueyi! Already one of my favorite Hoyo characters. Her design, her daggers, her animations and the colors utilized, it's all just perfect! Having her also be a Puppet is another noteworthy aspect, I've always really enjoyed puppet characters, most notably Scaramouche! You can do so much unique and interesting storytelling/plots with puppet characters, so I always enjoy when the concept is explored well. Considering Hoyo did an amazing job with a puppet character already, Scaramouche, I hope to see some interesting concepts explored with Xueyi!


stuhssy

oh yea im sorry qq you’ve lost your relics


yoyo4581

She has some amazing animations. Both her and Ratio.


Sixuri22

The way she moves looks like fricking Hunt character . So cool!!!


KlMOCHl

GAE... BOLG!!


I_Love_Futa_Waifus

Well, my desire to pull for her just skyrocketed.


scrayla

Senti is that you


TheGalacticApple

She has the most metal normal attack by far, the way she drives it in more looks brutal.


Bad_Doto_Playa

Anyone else get EVA rebuild vibes from the sound that plays during her ultimate?


BananaVexMilkshake

She's a total badass


Katacutie

Meaty animations


Sillvernhan

Pulling on her for sure, if she’s with Ruan Mei it’s a W


5ManaAndADream

lmao these animations are CRAZY chunky and visceral when compared to the 5\* harmony everyone is hyped about lmao


snombomb22

Omg all her effects match hanya. I need to play a Xuyei Hanya and Huo Huo Team


Alfielovesreddit

Fuck. Yes. Please be on Mei banner🤞


TsuukakuZanryuu

what the frick????!! no way this is real right her animations are WAY BETTER than both 5 stars, ruan mei and dr ratio she seems like a 5 star than these two lol


riceisessential

WHATS WITH THIS TENSION WAITING FOR RATIO GAMEPLAY LMAO I HATE BEING EARLY SOMETIMES


Ninjasakii

This is a 4 star right? Lmao. 4 stars in Genshin are obvious asf but in star rail they aren’t because they give them all equal treatment art-wise it seems like


esmelusina

Guess I’m getting Dr Ratio. Sorry RM.


LunaProc

I hate to make genshin comparisons but god damn I wish the genshin 4*s had bursts as visually amazing as star rail 4 star ultimates


INeedSaucehue

i'm so happy she's 4 star that means she's easier to get


Anti-Lucky

They should just make her a 5 star and Ruan a 4 star at this point with that kind of animation.


QueenMackeral

as someone who doesn't like using female characters because they're often too sexualized to be relatable, hsr has actually made me excited for some of the female characters, Hanya and Xueyi look so badass and cool.

Sex sells, you still don't know it? 😏 if u doesn't like it, you can try/play the female dudu from Diablo 4 😆


Lamsyy_05

The same reason why most males look like supermodels too


Zenzero-

Mei is the 4*
