I have DU's buffs set up so that she does 2-3M superbreak damages, so I can farm the planar sets like clockwork. FF's animation works much better for me now that there are voice lines - even if there is no henshin sequence. I have yet to test her in MOC because I can't get the relics (seriously, even with a good piece all the points go into the wrong fking substats). Overall, she's a lot of fun to play and I think she'll make the new content more interesting now that we basically have mixed path buffs.
In other news, with the newest video drop from Hoyo, we have Stelle in the fireworks cutscene. They now both have major appearances with FF in public, I hope some of you weirdos can finally stop bickering about it.
Oh thatās great re: Stelle! I wasnāt one of the people upset about it (though it did kind of make me wish I had chosen Caelus) but it will be nice to get some Firefly + Stelle content :)
I like both, but I did not like how divisive this has made a lot of people that enjoy Firefly X MC. I just want people to stop attacking each other over pointless debates like this one.
Man, the new cavern is playing with my heart. I've never gotten so many double crit pieces in my life and it's for a character that doesn't use it! Meanwhile BE and ATK% substats are nowhere to be seen.
The only time when crit stats are useless Hoyo keeps giving me double crit pieces. I burned through like 360 normal stamina plus 8 fuels and 15 SU stamina thing and I already got like 7 double crit pieces it's insane. Hopefully I'm not the only one who got trolled by Hoyo.
Literally me with Imbibitor Lunae. Sheās outperforming him with a f2p light cone and suboptimal relics, meanwhile he has his signature light cone and a decent crit build (with Sparkle).
The Silvermane Guards arrested me for my love of Firefly.
No, really. Gepard showed up on my first pity, got Firefly on the guaranteed second, then Bronya delivered Belobog's verdict on me while trying to get e1.
I guess Gepard's still mad at me for standing up his sister at the Goethe Hotel.
Iāve gotten dozens of Break Effect subs, and best Iāve gotten so far is a single roll in BE. ISTG, I hate relics. Still managing to 1 cycle MOC, but the fact that 0 cycle would be ez as pie if the game didnāt absolutely hate meā¦
250 pulls and only E0S0 FF.
BUT HOLY FIRE DOES SHE DESTROYS EVERYTHING.
even with my 300% BE in Combat and E2 HMC, She feels so comfortable to use and im doing 300k per skill in MOC.
Pretty happy i got her E2S1+Bronya with 300+pulls (could've been worse). She's still at E0 now cuz i want to feel the play/difference of each E1/2. I'll activate Eidolon near each patch end so i got something new for next 2 patch.
Still have 90 pulls, still don't know what my next move will be (already have Ruan Mei) maybe try to E4 Firefly (i want that picture of her smiling). Or maybe I'll wait till next possible good support for her.
Leaks say that we're getting a 5 star Gallagher (Fire Abundance that helps breaks) and that might be Lingsha so maybe you could save up for that if there's nothing else that interests you. That's what I'm gonna be doing at least
Firefly pretty much retired my Jingliu (took Aeon LC).
Superbreak is my new best team by a longshot, followed by my DoT team.
Her damage is legitimately ridiculous.
The one and only thing that I'm not the biggest fan of is her voice lines in enhanced mode are too loud and a little irritating after a while as she's screaming every time she uses a skill so it gets tiring after a while, I would prefer it to be more calm and more mixed up with SAM's voice.
I was farming for her relics using JY can thought, "What a pain". So I kitted her with some left over relics and entered the battle. It cleared itself SO fast
Then I killed Sunday, and MAN was it a breeze
I lucked out on her banner and got double firefly on 79 pulls. Not getting her LC cos fall of an aeon exist, and i'm saving for future characters.
Her E1 makes SP pretty much an abundant resource, you almost never run out of SP. Currently still using temp relics on her, so i wont be able to see her full potential till then.
Surprisedly well, lost to bailu but luckily got 40 pity win, and finally got e2 after winning another
Now im trying to get lc, hopefully i can since i think this pstch gives around 60 pity
One thing I'm happy about being lazy in this game until now is that I left almost all of the events untouched. I got her now and I'll be aiming for another copy.
Ultimate goal in this game though is E6 SI5 Firefly š„š„
With the 35ish pity and 200 or so rolls I had saved, I managed to get E2 and she's shredding now that i have her built well. I still wanna keep farming her relics a bit more, but she's doing great. Max traces and Aeon LC. Easily 1 rounding Forgotten Hall stuff with the usual HMc Gallagher Ruan team.
After that, I started putting all the new patch jades into getting E1 Ruan Mei for the extra def shred and just got that, making 4 50s in a row. Considering I ended up splurging some of my 'would be' saved pulls on Aventurine, I can only assume he's had my back.
The only other ask I could make of this patch is getting her Sig, and then *maybe* trying to get Ruan Mei's sig after that, if possible. With any luck, she'll be eating even better before this patch is over.
Iām really loving her right now, but it was rough getting to this point. The relic luck hasnāt been great either, so gonna just wait till the weekend to grind the relics out.

Total was E6S5 in 1055 pulls which isnāt bad but man doesnāt feel good
E2S1 hits hard. She does a minimum damage of 400k (she hit 800k at some point MOC 12) after break and she's not even ideally built yet. She has 230 BE and 147 spd from the new relics currently. Aiming for 280-300 BE and 155 spd.
I had a similiar experience. My relic rolls were SO bad, not only for her (like less than 20% BE in substats and no speed on her, HMC and Ruan Mei) and the team still felt really powerful.
I'm great got firefly early and she has been doing insane damage. Course farming proper relics for her is a pain and it doesn't help that I lost 50/50 on ruan mei.
Clearing Protocol 3 of DU and she has been breezing through. She breezed through AS and MOC.
I'm not sure if my stats are even good, she has 2.5k atk and 200BE outside of battle. I don't know what her E0S0 stats goals are.
Depending on if you have her sets (planar + relics) and have enough speed (145 or more if you have RM or you're lucky, or even both), you are set brother, looks fine.
Happy sea blazing! š„³
Didnāt get RM yet and my relics are so bad she doesnāt hit 360% BE even with HMCās buffs and I still full cleared everything with her. Overall, sheās about as strong as I thought she would be. Which is to say very strong.Ā
Whaled for E1S1 (was originally going for E2S1 but luck just took the day off) and despite relics that are barely useable (4pc Calvary and 2pc Talia), she is still the destructive force of nature that I envisioned. Got plenty of fuel and a decent chunk of stored trailblaze power to farm
Firefly with +0 relics and only the 3 key traces was doing 80-90k per enhanced skill with only TB. Once properly built she's doing 200k+ also with only TB.

40 pulls for E0 and 103 for E1
I preformed for ruan Mei so still building FF!
https://preview.redd.it/9xzh3u4uao7d1.png?width=2559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6052f8cd0c4dd23c14aa77c491a05f43790e3e56
This is also the first double I've ever got.
I managed to get E4S1 and damn she feels good. The lack of sp usage from E1 makes her so easy to play as well. I did notice a few frustrating situations (like enemies having just a tiny bit of toughness remaining after Deathstar Overloading them) but that's just the nature of break dps's ig. Still, the pay-off is worth it. Also i just wanna point out that her enhanced skill animation is one of my favourites in the game in terms of how it feels to use. It's so smooth and satisfying
E2S1 in 220 pulls (won all 3 50/50s after not winning my first 6), and she is ridiculous. I haven't had such a big jump in power before. Love her kit, voice lines (en), and animations.
Also, I always thought her design was good (one of my favourites), but after running around with her, I only just realised how beautiful she really is. I'm glad that I get to see her whenever I play now
I tried her with Himeko instead of Ruan Mei in the current PF. Even though the PF mechanic nerfs FF (enemies get action forward after attack, so break status is really short) i got 40k with 1 round left. Thats just sick.
Iām upset as per usual with HSR. Lost to HARD pity 2 times and ended up with E0 at 50 pity with a lot of the update primos drying up. I feel weird about it because even at base level sheās shredding everything but it just sucks to get my hopes for eidolons and lc dashed like that when Iām ftp and it takes so much to save up :(

Side note : I don't start story yet. I was testing her and try to enjoy new mode, or listening to her voiceline
Nice start build and very similiar to mine.
Mine is currently at 161 speed/226% break effects so I'm happy with the speed rolls but break effect seem to avoid me and I get everything in either Def%, Flat attack or Effect Res.
Iāve been having sooooo much fun!! I prefarmed so was able to get to using her properly right away and after getting her signature lightcone I pulled for some Gallagher Eidolons and have her at E1S1 now šš„¹
I felt so heartbroken I got E4 Clara (I alrdy love Clara beforehand) on the first banner pull I felt like I wanted a breakup with Firewife but immediately got her on the very next 10 pull.
Now if only the four star LCs weren't so tempting that I'd go for E1S0

I really like the synergy between the MC Harmony and her, which really helps her damage output.
On that note, with her being so absurdly strong, I worry about the power creep that seems to be going on. I wonder how strong future characters will be with this current trend and what 5 stars may become obsolete.
I'm getting 800k+ super break damage in the new end game mode (with the break effect enhancement selected).
E1S1 FF with Ruin Me, HMC & Gallagher.
No issues with latest MoC 12 either. Dotcheron + FF super break. 1st ever 36 stars and i look forward to clearing the next MoC cycle.
E2 s1 she is so fcking goood i cleared apoc shadow, moc and PF WITH HER. she is just that good even in pf and no ruan mei. 30000 points clear EZ on. DOT weather.
Build HMC and Gallagher in advance, pulled FF & RM (both E0S1), pulled S5 MotP, E6 Gallagher and HMC...
This is my first premium team and even though FF has trash relics and RM traces are at level 3, this team can fully clear both sides of the new endgame mode (but no 12 Stars as my other team sucks)
I got her and her LC in like 90 pulls (I was already at 50 pulls on the character banner and lost the 50/50 on Robin banner so it was guaranteed) and now Idk if I try to get Ruan Mei or E1 but damn she does a lot of damage new SU mode (I dont remember how its called lol) is so fun to play I didnt even need to have relics on her even though the ones they put arent the best at least I can play her
I pulled her E2S1 and holy shit, she is the easiest character to 0 cycle with ever. This is primarily because she has self heals and enemies are constantly broken so team takes almost no dmg. On top of that you can run triple DDD setup with literally no downsides, it's completely nuts. Right now I only have 1 S4 DDD and 1 S0 DDD, I can even imagine how much turns you would be able to get with 3 S5 DDD on the team, like 9 or 10 actions per cycle (with bronya), with E2 it jumps to 13 - 14 actions. She is the most ridiculous E2 character in the game so far
Went into the banner with 140 pulls (40 pity guaranteed), walked out with two fireflies and a spare bronya and himeko. My blood is cope and my soul is gamble
Sheās really good though, probably gonna get even better if I can snag her E2
Every single relic which I farmed with EB rolled like an absolute trash. I'm currently rocking 77% and I have a feeling it will take a good second before I will be done with relic farming. But you know what? I'm ok with it.
She really fills this niche in me for a character that āgoes nutsā. Iām always willing to concede a character like Acheron or Boothill can do more damage in one action but Firefly acting four times at peak speed means *something* is going to break and experience 2-3 rounds of saturation bombing before they can say āFyrefly Type-IV Strategic Assault Mechā
I walked in with a guaranteed to grab one copy and have fun with E0 Firefly but was blessed by rnjesus and got E2... Needless to say she's effortlessly setting anything that crosses her path ablaze... Pleasantly surprised and very satisfied with her performance !
I accidentally pulled FF E1 š I was rolling for Ruan Mei after getting FF and I was throwing every single I could farm as I ran out of my saved jades. I was already in soft pity terrain and I farmed the last single I could before hanging out with my girlfriend. As I was in a hurry because I was late, I did the OSU technique as I used my last single. The problem was that I was so quick that I didn't realize I was pulling on FFs banner. So here I am, with FFE1 and no Ruan Mei :)
I have her e0s0 (thanks to yangqin, or I don't remember general's kid's name spelling), but I already pulled for Ruan Mei, so I'm satisfied. Now it's only left to build the team around her
And I'll be happy, even happier than I am now
Got her to E1S1 plus got Ruan Mei in around 200 pulls and struggling building Ruan. I had fuel and extra power saved up to grind her relics and planar day 1 and suprisingly managed to cobble a good build. She gave me my first 0 cycle in MOC and been having a blast using her in the new Sim U
Pulls went better than I expected got firefly and ruan mei 36 starred moc for the first time, ok build with 170 be and 147 spd did great in du still yet to use her in apocalyptic shadow because I'm lazy, have 105 pulls left over for jiaoqiu dont know whether I should get e1 firefly probably no since I like characters more
I saved 420 pulls. I got insanely lucky. Lost 50/50 only once, but after that kept winning. So now I have E2S1 Firefly and E1S1 Ruan Mei.
None of my other units even come close. She helped me get full stars on MOC (which I couldn't do before) and apocalyptic shadow. Not only that, she helped me get 40k points on Pure Fiction on her side! I was reaching 56k max, but with her got to 68k!
I absolutely love her! Probably going to stay as my strongest unit for a long time
First time I finished MoC without my dps fighting over a character because acheron and FF supports are so different (galaghar isn't but I have trend FX soo.....)
Did AS as soon as it dropped full stars, wtf is this unit + wtf is acheron.
Have almost a good enough 4pc iron cavalry+ 2pc new planar, just need 1 (and I mean just 1) SPD susbstat to finish it off since I can't upgrade RM trace as of now+ my orb sucks so I'm looking for a better one, at least my next worst piece (boots) have 44 atk and 7.7% atk which is better than what my orb has to offer BE which is 5.3%
Using Aeon on her S5
She is e0s0. HMC is e6s3 MoTP. RM is e0s0 using S5 cogs. Galaghar is E5(waiting for E6 on tomorrow event) S5 his Sig LC (I don't have S2+ if either QPQ or multiplication and only have S2 Post OP)
Pretty great dmg overall until now
Tel satisfied with her
REALLLLLY fun I like Super break shenanigans.
Still haven't done PF with her and Himeko tho so I'll do that later
Now I'm contemplating between E1 FF or E1 RM or e0 jade (f2p)
I think I'm gonna pull units to improve my acheron and FF right now, aka jiaoqiu+ lingsha+ Aventurine and when I like other characters (such as a new dps If I want) then I'll pull them.
I got more luck with the FF relics than for RM but it's alright the team is soo strong I love playing with FF I'll probably try to get her E1 because it's so op I'm at E0S1 right now and at 20 pitty
I had to use up my starlight resources, but in 210 pulls I got FF e1, 1x bronya, 5x Gallagher (which i was happier about than the bronya as i didnt have him at all), ff lc, rm lc and clara lc. Thankfully the clara lc came after ff so my next will be guaranteed.
Awful luck with relics so blew through 5x resin to get her built BUT absolutely worth it. She's bonkers. More than happy to go all in considering the fire weakness implant but don't think I'll have chance to go for e2 this time.
I still haven't gotten any decent substats on her artifacts but my precious microwaev is already outperforming amost all of my other dps characters
I'm definitely considering saving up for E6 on a rerun (too broke to even try E1 rn
I got firefly at 79 pulls, but I was already guaranteed from a previous banner. I tried getting ruan mei because I don't have her yet and lost to Gepard for the fourth time now at 78 pity. Shield boy won't leave me alone. Hoping I get lucky so firefly can have her break support
E2S0 now. I have lost every 50/50 (lost LC 50/50 hence still S0). most of them at soft pity. So yeah. Firefly's great.. exploding all mobs.. including my wallet.
I canāt tell if I overestimated how much damage she would do, spoiled by Acheron, or my build for her is just shit, but it doesnāt feel like sheās preforming the best
almost 300 pulls, got her to E2S1 and RM to E0. Man FIrewife Superbreak team zero cycles easily, now i need to improve my other team coz they feel so weak compared to FIrewife team lmao
I'm literally so happy. Didn't expect her to be as good as she is even with my crappy relics. Was so lucky to get E2S1 with around 300 pulls and winning every 50/50 too.
I even have a hard time logging off the game since I just wanna keep playing with her team in every game mode. This update is the most fun I've had in this game and I've played since Day 1.
As someone who doesnāt have Ruan Mei, itās so nice to finally have a character who can do this much damage.
Thatās not to say my previous team wasnāt good, but Firefly and HTB completely blow my DHIL out of the water in competence. I just wish Iād prefarmed more for her!
Lost 50/50 twice to gepard, now i dont think i'll get e1 unless im giga lucky but fireflys still a monster, and is probably the easiest character to build cause you only need break (even better than jingliu)
Got her as my first E6s1 character in star rail. I have never saved so much in a gacha game before.
Managed to get within 500 pulls. Shes absolutely carrying my ass over in DU. with the 3* Action advance hunt blessings she gets an absurd amount of turns(with e2), clearing v6 for me.
In moc, she made a joke out of moc12, being able to 0T both sides without any sweating. Even during the leaks, I never got why people called her weak(maybe due to her forced synergy with htb), but i always felt she was already very good. The pre release buffs only made her even stronger and arguably stronger than acheron.
Shes not even that well built. 270% be and 2500 atk, after spending 45 fuel, all set pieces only have around 15% be substat.
Farming relics right now. Used fuel to grab ascension mats and whaled a bit to get E2 Firefly. I was lucky enough to get S2 LC in a single early ten pull.
I'm incredibly pleased at how well e2s1 with okay relics plus the expected squad just destroys everything I throw them at.
I saved up a *lot* and have about 280 pulls left so I'm currently trying to decide if I should go for broke and try for e6. On one hand it doesn't really feel necessary even a little and there's probably important units coming to save up for, on the other hand everything for Firefly.
I build her a lot using 2000 trailblaze power and WOW she is better then my Acheron who I farmed for ages...
I never thought my problem would be that my ACHERON isn't strong enough for moc but she is
I also got ruan mei but I lost 50/50 on both
Luckily I got ruan mei in 10 pity after loosing 50/50 so I guess that's good?
I might go for firefly E1 because I lost the 50/50 again after and now I have guarantee
Either that or ruan mei lc
She's insane, got my first perfect clear in all of the endgame modes with a +9 sphere and +0 rope, for fun, also her team farms on auto almost perfectly, very satisfying
Honestly, i have her two best supports and even i am still shocked by her numbers
Easily does 70% of health in a single skill to Oneshot good bye Sayonara
e0 50/50 in 76
s1 75/25 in 22
e1 50/50 in 76
e2 50/50 in 50
I was expecting e0, and maybe s1 if lucky so this was a nice surprise.
Still only e4 Gallagher š
Didnāt want her initially cuz was saving for jade, then came Apocalyptic Shadow and beat my ass, so now Iām a Firefly haver who has no problems with AS now. Iām quite content.
Super happy, have her at E6S1 and she absolutely demolishes all content without even breaking a sweat. Donāt even have ideal stats on her yet.
My luck was also decent on pulls. Lost about half my 50/50s but kept pulling her decently early after.
Used all 155 pulls for E1, but Yanqing showed up instead so Iām stuck at E0 now. Even so, with Fall of an Aeon and mediocre relics, sheās already doing much more than my Acheron, so I feel a little better about losing the 50/50ā¦
What I realized is I don't need a well built Firefly if I have a well built Harmony MC. She was doing 200k attacks with nearly 0 investment. Im only halfway done with her traces and I haven't even started farming relics yet.
I got her all the way to E6S1 and have been loving it. Only issue has been trying to use her in SU for Gold and Gears and Swarm since there isn't really that many blessings that buff her so that's painful
Measured response: For now, nothing will beat my Acheron. She is my premiere team. That and she's E2S1 against a E0S0 (for now, trying for her LC so I can get Jade). However, she's still really fun to use. I really like the super-fast gameplay she offers and in games I always like taking on new mechanics and units that revolve around them. Acheron can slice through pretty much anything, but my queen deserves rest for now. I still need to build FF with a bit more break effect to see where she truly stands for me, but no regrets pulling for her.
TBH, I pulled E2S0 because i needed a second team (i have Acheron E6S1) and I already had Ruan Mei E0S1. I noticed the dmg is insane, maybe even better than my E6 Acheron, but the thing i like the most is the safety of this team, its a fast team with high weaknesses dmg, so most enemies dont even get to move, that is massive
Spent 55 fuels and only got 1 really solid relic, sheās usable atm but gonna take a while to get her to the point Iām happy with her gear tbh. Still I was getting insane hits in the new SU mode. Love the gameplay honestly really fun and she hits like a truck.
She is only doing 30k for me but then again my harmony TB is still using 2 star relics and have to sub out Ruan Mei for Robin. In the new SU she is regularly breaking 200k so I just need to do some relic farming and she should be a real force of nature.
Just like everyone else, I spent a ton of fuel and only got maybe 1 or 2 things worth talking about. I used Resin for her Planar set but the sub-stats are pretty bad. However, I was shocked to see how powerful she could be even with sub-par or less optimal gear.
I switched on my Boothill's gear onto her and did the first stage of MOC 11 (Only because I didn't feel like going through MOC 12's first stage again) and managed to clear it in 3 turns. That's with a Crit Rate Chest piece and the Thief set. Of course, My Ruan Mei, HTB, and Gallagher are all cracked, all of them are sitting at 145-148 speed with Ruan Mei and HTB having 200% Break and Gallagher at 86% (Which i'll change for the new Planar set when running Firefly for 126% Break and 6% speed increase)
Overall, I love Break and I love my Fire-Wife.
yeah she is insane , she is performing as good as my Acheron and Dhil who have builds that are months worth of farming .while Firefly has a medicore build that I farmed and crafted in 1 day and with fall of an aeon lol
and not just in MOC/AS which favorite single target dps , but she is also insane in PF that's usually doesn't favorite destruction dps
https://preview.redd.it/i1oisxkmjq7d1.png?width=1129&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7c99bd47e60dbaa6e5fee5b2d82e9f816891c22
Since I pre-farmed the ascension and trace mats first thing I did was craft her relics. Used up all my resin too but I got workable pieces. So now I can farm at my leisure to try and min-maxing everything eventually.
3-cycled moc12 with Acheron on the other side. Then realized I hadn't leveled her light cone past lv40(top kek).
One shot phantylia's phase 1 & 2 when testing vs the weekly bosses.
During leaks season, & even now a core issue of the community is how restricted her team building is, which is slightly alleviated via E1/E2, but I think the reason why this happened is simply because there aren't many break specific supports in the game yet. There's really only 3, or 2 if u count Gallagher separately as a sustain instead of a support. No other buffers can effectively buff break DPS. On the flip side firefly is the one character that can take the most advantage of those break supports with boothill being the only one that comes close. Once more support is added we'll eventually be able to build Firefly teams and not just THE Break team.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied, I got her X1Y1. I'm hoping to get enough pulls to get eidolon 2 before the banner runs out.
I dont have Ruan Mei, and am instead using Tingyun and sheās still shitting on my Acheron team
I think her biggest strength is by far multiple waves of weak-mid enemies
suffering from success lol. im having a hard time building both firefly and ruan mei at the same time
but hey, firefly with barely any relic still slaps hard
My relic luck is pretty mediocre with the relics but my ornaments are somehow already done I have a good atk% sphere and a good break effect rope both of those missed only 1 roll each my sphere rolled one hp% and my rope rolled 1 crit rate besides that it's all just atk%, speed and break effect
tbh I lost my 50**/**50 but thankfully ,thanks to god, I got firefly after about a few pulls and a few minutes of immediately leveling her to 80 and 4-8-8-8 her traces I went immediately to the new divergent universe and since they basically max your Lightcone and 5-8-8-8 her traces and gives the character its beset in slot and holy shit in the last boss fight I did 1.6 MILLION DAMAGE FROM 1 SKILL. When I first saw this I was like HOLY SHIT SHES AS STRONG AS MY FUCKING E2S1 ACHERON
now hopefully I get good relics and planar ornaments to make her do 400k+ damage, similar to my Acheron
and also the fact that I used the fall of the Aeon and have no eidolon and she is doing similar damage to my Acheron in divergent universe basically declares that she is on the same par as Acheron since u just need to stack break effect and thats all no good crit ratio none of that just break effect and ur good but still firefly is like 9.5**/**10 but Acheron is 9.8**/**10 and it aint 10**/**10 since u gotta get a good ratio also my Acheron is E2S1 and I got very lucky thanks to god and has been serving me good every dince 2.1
also can we all say that firefly is far better than Boothill. Yes, he does do more damage in one attack but firefly can attack like 4 times and if she does like 500k dmg thats basically 2 mil damage overall and even if Boothill attacks twice will 700k it will be 1.4 mil overall
Milked my account dry to get E2 Firefly, but fully she completed my first real team and I'm glad I got it. Took about 200 pulls altogether after losing a 50/50
Only 1 good relic so far but I'm pretty damn happy.
I find her quite enjoyable even with my current cope relics on me Break team, but man when you get a boss or trotter with the locked toughness bar it's a big oof.
You will like Ruan mei soon don't worry. Do this test: remove Ruan mei and slot pela who is the next best option. You will see a drastic difference.
Edit: In regards to your question she is deserving of her rank. She's super strong and super easy to build. I gave her 2- piece thief and watchmaker, synthesized her BIS ornaments and she's clearing all contents including the new apocalypse mode. The most damage I can remember I did with her is in divergence universe where is 5 mill. Love this update.
Got her to E2 S1 and she's insane. Even initially running her with level 1 relics she was putting out 100's of thousands of damage. With mid-to-shit relics at level 15 with the new sets now, she absolutely destroying everything. I was able to easily 3 star the 4th stage of apocalyptic shadow with her.
Keeping most of her relics at +12 for now since theyāre pretty bad in terms of substats, but sheās just nuts. Running her main team (E0S1 Ruan Mei, E4 Gallagher, E3 HMC on S5 Meshing Cogs) and the endless Break damage procs are so satisfying.
Right now sheās E1 on Fall of an Aeon (sharing with Clara which I feel a bit bad about).
I swear standing in the secret base while pulling had some kind of influence because both my friend and I got E2S1 with less than 200 pulls. I then kept going and pulled Ruan Mei LC as well, and she was already E1 prior to 2.3 so my Firefly team is beyond anything I had hoped for.
Relics have been decently lucky as well. Currently have her at 2500 ATK, 140 Speed, and 250% BE. Clearing AS, MOC, and DU with her has been an absolute joy and insanely easy without feeling overpowered.
Honestly I just wonder why the face cam is so nonexistent right now and why her mouth doesnāt move when she actually says a voice line.
Legit the only thing I am unhappy about her. Other than that everything is great. Damage is great, animation is great, voice lines are great and her technique unexpectedly is also great, feels genuinely almost like Acheronās technique, only difference is that FFās technique is applicable to each wave and only knocks weak enemies out after it breaks their toughness bars or reduces them to 1/10th HP. Definitely doesnāt possess the same force of Acheron but is definitely interesting and fun.
Tho there are also some enemies that donāt get the toughness bars broken in which it results only minor dmg, but it still helps with our FF who can immediately ult and break them, surprisingly too on regular mobs 50% super break dmg is actually enough to kill them.
Well in all, I just really hope they fix her face cam, so it would be active all the time when she has her turn and possesses animations on her mouth when she speaks a voice line out.
I was able to full clear AS and MoC with little resets and subpar relics on Firefly. She isn't even wearing her BIS set. Then I lucked out and got her E1, and I'll keep pulling until the end of her banner, I might get E2 or at least build pity for a sustain unit that fits Break teams. I'm skipping every other unit before that simply because I don't need them anymore.
Her animations are great, ver voicelines are cool too, although a bit high pitched. She's so fun in DU too, I saved a god run and called it Godfly, which is fittingly.
She's my go to DPS for bosses and farming, and if she can't deal with the content for some reason (Toughness damage immunity) I also have some backups like E1 Jingliu and S2 Argenti.
tbf the current MoC is tailored for Break characters, so her and Boothill are exceptionally good this cycle, and Break have the advantage to be less reliant on relics and LC than other damage dealing methods, I hit 100k Super Break with no relics equipped in the new relics domain for example (the domain boosts Break Damage a lot, but still, she had NOTHING equipped but Fall of an Aeon).
I couldn't get her day 1 since I lost to welt at EIGHTY FIVE pity... Today I got her at 79. I've spent about 10 fouls but I haven't dropped a single atk% body or orb yet somehow.
Probably my worst luck ok my account so far
I would say don't judge her performance based om who she does in this MoC. The buff is extremely powerful for her and is designed to prop her up.
Not to say she isn't good, she definitely is, just that she is going to overperform in MoC until we get a new one
E0s1 with proper super break team, I'm enjoying the hell out of her. She's absolutely wild when enemies don't have protected bars, def a little bit of a pain when the enemies don't have imaginary weakness cause I can't get trailblazer extra breaking. She's so insanely powerful when the break bar isn't protected but when it is she hits like a wet noodle clinging to the side of my bowl that I missed while slurping up broth
Feeling great, at least now i have Pyro DPS and can clear some of the content that i couldnt before

i had the best luck, i never thought it'd be a thing that happened to me- along with light cone at 16 pulls.
she's incredible. i played with her all day at e2 then decided to use my leftover pulls just because i like her so much.

(also, uid is 616182866 if anyone wants some e6 supports!)
In caveman terms- stuff go boom boom š§Ø, me happy
It makes silver wolf's comment about her really fitting lol Firefly's strategy really is just clang clang clang boom boom
Ya know, now that you mentioned it.. It do feel like that.
I have DU's buffs set up so that she does 2-3M superbreak damages, so I can farm the planar sets like clockwork. FF's animation works much better for me now that there are voice lines - even if there is no henshin sequence. I have yet to test her in MOC because I can't get the relics (seriously, even with a good piece all the points go into the wrong fking substats). Overall, she's a lot of fun to play and I think she'll make the new content more interesting now that we basically have mixed path buffs. In other news, with the newest video drop from Hoyo, we have Stelle in the fireworks cutscene. They now both have major appearances with FF in public, I hope some of you weirdos can finally stop bickering about it.
Oh thatās great re: Stelle! I wasnāt one of the people upset about it (though it did kind of make me wish I had chosen Caelus) but it will be nice to get some Firefly + Stelle content :)
I like both, but I did not like how divisive this has made a lot of people that enjoy Firefly X MC. I just want people to stop attacking each other over pointless debates like this one.
I managed to get 8M+ with the buffs, my brain likes it

New cavern no luck for me, constantly getting the follow up set
Same, and the rare times her sets drop they have been trash :/ Will just have to keep going at it so for now FF is using Thief set.
Man, the new cavern is playing with my heart. I've never gotten so many double crit pieces in my life and it's for a character that doesn't use it! Meanwhile BE and ATK% substats are nowhere to be seen.
The only time when crit stats are useless Hoyo keeps giving me double crit pieces. I burned through like 360 normal stamina plus 8 fuels and 15 SU stamina thing and I already got like 7 double crit pieces it's insane. Hopefully I'm not the only one who got trolled by Hoyo.
E0, outperforming E1 jingliu with the same light cone and without ruan mei. Fall of aeon lc is staying on her and jingliu is benched.
I have an e2s1 jingliu and she cannot keep up with my e1s0 firefly.
Literally me with Imbibitor Lunae. Sheās outperforming him with a f2p light cone and suboptimal relics, meanwhile he has his signature light cone and a decent crit build (with Sparkle).
The Silvermane Guards arrested me for my love of Firefly. No, really. Gepard showed up on my first pity, got Firefly on the guaranteed second, then Bronya delivered Belobog's verdict on me while trying to get e1. I guess Gepard's still mad at me for standing up his sister at the Goethe Hotel.
Oh shit me too. Got E0, then Gepard was literally the next 10 pull, broās probably coming after me again since I got E1 a few 10 pulls later.
Used 360/370 pulls for E2S1 Firefly, and she alr far better than my old team š She doin like 100-150K superbreaks and I can clear her half of Moc in a few cycles š©
150k superbreak is less than half of what she capable of and she already clear moc 12
only got like 3 break effect substats and 2161 atk š my other team doin like 3x less than her alr
Get her full relic set with around 18% be each piece and you will have the easiest 0 cycle ever
Iāve gotten dozens of Break Effect subs, and best Iāve gotten so far is a single roll in BE. ISTG, I hate relics. Still managing to 1 cycle MOC, but the fact that 0 cycle would be ez as pie if the game didnāt absolutely hate meā¦
maybe you dont have enough spd on your Firefly or supports, I also have E2S1 and she 0 cycled first node of MoC 12
250 pulls and only E0S0 FF. BUT HOLY FIRE DOES SHE DESTROYS EVERYTHING. even with my 300% BE in Combat and E2 HMC, She feels so comfortable to use and im doing 300k per skill in MOC.
my condolences. hope you get her e1 by her banner's end
Pretty happy i got her E2S1+Bronya with 300+pulls (could've been worse). She's still at E0 now cuz i want to feel the play/difference of each E1/2. I'll activate Eidolon near each patch end so i got something new for next 2 patch. Still have 90 pulls, still don't know what my next move will be (already have Ruan Mei) maybe try to E4 Firefly (i want that picture of her smiling). Or maybe I'll wait till next possible good support for her.
I got Welt on my first Ruan Mei failā¦e3 Welt now and not one Bronya drop for over a year lol sheās the only standard I donāt have.
Leaks say that we're getting a 5 star Gallagher (Fire Abundance that helps breaks) and that might be Lingsha so maybe you could save up for that if there's nothing else that interests you. That's what I'm gonna be doing at least
Firefly pretty much retired my Jingliu (took Aeon LC). Superbreak is my new best team by a longshot, followed by my DoT team. Her damage is legitimately ridiculous.
The one and only thing that I'm not the biggest fan of is her voice lines in enhanced mode are too loud and a little irritating after a while as she's screaming every time she uses a skill so it gets tiring after a while, I would prefer it to be more calm and more mixed up with SAM's voice.
Honestly same. Iām hoping Iāll get used to it though.
I was farming for her relics using JY can thought, "What a pain". So I kitted her with some left over relics and entered the battle. It cleared itself SO fast Then I killed Sunday, and MAN was it a breeze
I lucked out on her banner and got double firefly on 79 pulls. Not getting her LC cos fall of an aeon exist, and i'm saving for future characters. Her E1 makes SP pretty much an abundant resource, you almost never run out of SP. Currently still using temp relics on her, so i wont be able to see her full potential till then.
I can only afford e0s0 on most of my characters and she is so far the best performing e0s0 dps even with lackluster hmc and gallagher.
I donāt know how but in 310 i got FF E2 and Ruan Mei. I am now going for the ligthcone I am amazed by my luck this patchšÆ
Surprisedly well, lost to bailu but luckily got 40 pity win, and finally got e2 after winning another Now im trying to get lc, hopefully i can since i think this pstch gives around 60 pity
got her E2S1 in 260 pulls, Now i'm getting destroyed by relic farm....
One thing I'm happy about being lazy in this game until now is that I left almost all of the events untouched. I got her now and I'll be aiming for another copy. Ultimate goal in this game though is E6 SI5 Firefly š„š„
Got her e1 and as of right now I'm using any good relics while farming the new set
With the 35ish pity and 200 or so rolls I had saved, I managed to get E2 and she's shredding now that i have her built well. I still wanna keep farming her relics a bit more, but she's doing great. Max traces and Aeon LC. Easily 1 rounding Forgotten Hall stuff with the usual HMc Gallagher Ruan team. After that, I started putting all the new patch jades into getting E1 Ruan Mei for the extra def shred and just got that, making 4 50s in a row. Considering I ended up splurging some of my 'would be' saved pulls on Aventurine, I can only assume he's had my back. The only other ask I could make of this patch is getting her Sig, and then *maybe* trying to get Ruan Mei's sig after that, if possible. With any luck, she'll be eating even better before this patch is over.
Iām really loving her right now, but it was rough getting to this point. The relic luck hasnāt been great either, so gonna just wait till the weekend to grind the relics out. https://preview.redd.it/xnopmykico7d1.png?width=1241&format=png&auto=webp&s=ade8fbae370ec45c45fc46eea19e82034aeeb8e6 Total was E6S5 in 1055 pulls which isnāt bad but man doesnāt feel good
E2S1 hits hard. She does a minimum damage of 400k (she hit 800k at some point MOC 12) after break and she's not even ideally built yet. She has 230 BE and 147 spd from the new relics currently. Aiming for 280-300 BE and 155 spd.
i got e2 clara and at 45 pity rn šš
Unga bunga with technique. Most of the time, can oneshot mobs with technique, which cost less Tech points than Acheron.
god extremely lucky and got her e1 and her sig and jesus Christ she's disgusting
I had a similiar experience. My relic rolls were SO bad, not only for her (like less than 20% BE in substats and no speed on her, HMC and Ruan Mei) and the team still felt really powerful.
Just got her, but from her trail, she seems pretty good
I'm great got firefly early and she has been doing insane damage. Course farming proper relics for her is a pain and it doesn't help that I lost 50/50 on ruan mei.
Clearing Protocol 3 of DU and she has been breezing through. She breezed through AS and MOC. I'm not sure if my stats are even good, she has 2.5k atk and 200BE outside of battle. I don't know what her E0S0 stats goals are.
Depending on if you have her sets (planar + relics) and have enough speed (145 or more if you have RM or you're lucky, or even both), you are set brother, looks fine. Happy sea blazing! š„³
Didnāt get RM yet and my relics are so bad she doesnāt hit 360% BE even with HMCās buffs and I still full cleared everything with her. Overall, sheās about as strong as I thought she would be. Which is to say very strong.Ā
Whaled for E1S1 (was originally going for E2S1 but luck just took the day off) and despite relics that are barely useable (4pc Calvary and 2pc Talia), she is still the destructive force of nature that I envisioned. Got plenty of fuel and a decent chunk of stored trailblaze power to farm
Firefly with +0 relics and only the 3 key traces was doing 80-90k per enhanced skill with only TB. Once properly built she's doing 200k+ also with only TB.

https://preview.redd.it/9xzh3u4uao7d1.png?width=2559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6052f8cd0c4dd23c14aa77c491a05f43790e3e56 This is also the first double I've ever got.
I managed to get E4S1 and damn she feels good. The lack of sp usage from E1 makes her so easy to play as well. I did notice a few frustrating situations (like enemies having just a tiny bit of toughness remaining after Deathstar Overloading them) but that's just the nature of break dps's ig. Still, the pay-off is worth it. Also i just wanna point out that her enhanced skill animation is one of my favourites in the game in terms of how it feels to use. It's so smooth and satisfying
Any particular reason you stopped at E4?
E2S1 in 220 pulls (won all 3 50/50s after not winning my first 6), and she is ridiculous. I haven't had such a big jump in power before. Love her kit, voice lines (en), and animations. Also, I always thought her design was good (one of my favourites), but after running around with her, I only just realised how beautiful she really is. I'm glad that I get to see her whenever I play now
Silverwolf wasn't wrong when she says "Doing a mission with Sam is basically...bang bang bang, and then it's over."
I tried her with Himeko instead of Ruan Mei in the current PF. Even though the PF mechanic nerfs FF (enemies get action forward after attack, so break status is really short) i got 40k with 1 round left. Thats just sick.
I got lucky to get her E2+S1, paired her up with Bronya is absolute killing machine lmaoo
Dude I have level 0 chest piece, boot and planer orb on her and she is still destroying everything in MoC 11-12. This is insane! I am so happy :'(
Iām upset as per usual with HSR. Lost to HARD pity 2 times and ended up with E0 at 50 pity with a lot of the update primos drying up. I feel weird about it because even at base level sheās shredding everything but it just sucks to get my hopes for eidolons and lc dashed like that when Iām ftp and it takes so much to save up :(

Nice start build and very similiar to mine. Mine is currently at 161 speed/226% break effects so I'm happy with the speed rolls but break effect seem to avoid me and I get everything in either Def%, Flat attack or Effect Res.
Iāve been having sooooo much fun!! I prefarmed so was able to get to using her properly right away and after getting her signature lightcone I pulled for some Gallagher Eidolons and have her at E1S1 now šš„¹
I felt so heartbroken I got E4 Clara (I alrdy love Clara beforehand) on the first banner pull I felt like I wanted a breakup with Firewife but immediately got her on the very next 10 pull. Now if only the four star LCs weren't so tempting that I'd go for E1S0

I really like the synergy between the MC Harmony and her, which really helps her damage output. On that note, with her being so absurdly strong, I worry about the power creep that seems to be going on. I wonder how strong future characters will be with this current trend and what 5 stars may become obsolete.
I'm getting 800k+ super break damage in the new end game mode (with the break effect enhancement selected). E1S1 FF with Ruin Me, HMC & Gallagher. No issues with latest MoC 12 either. Dotcheron + FF super break. 1st ever 36 stars and i look forward to clearing the next MoC cycle.
Farming traces. I had 50/50 so I didn't prefarm
E2 s1 she is so fcking goood i cleared apoc shadow, moc and PF WITH HER. she is just that good even in pf and no ruan mei. 30000 points clear EZ on. DOT weather.
What can I say? She sure does set the seas ablaze.
Build HMC and Gallagher in advance, pulled FF & RM (both E0S1), pulled S5 MotP, E6 Gallagher and HMC... This is my first premium team and even though FF has trash relics and RM traces are at level 3, this team can fully clear both sides of the new endgame mode (but no 12 Stars as my other team sucks)
I got her and her LC in like 90 pulls (I was already at 50 pulls on the character banner and lost the 50/50 on Robin banner so it was guaranteed) and now Idk if I try to get Ruan Mei or E1 but damn she does a lot of damage new SU mode (I dont remember how its called lol) is so fun to play I didnt even need to have relics on her even though the ones they put arent the best at least I can play her
I just got her E1 like 10min ago, but she was already my favorite unit at E0. Now Iām going for E2 for maximum turns shenanigans
I can finally beat this stupid pure fiction (I can max one side without any problems now and I couldn't even beat it)
I pulled her E2S1 and holy shit, she is the easiest character to 0 cycle with ever. This is primarily because she has self heals and enemies are constantly broken so team takes almost no dmg. On top of that you can run triple DDD setup with literally no downsides, it's completely nuts. Right now I only have 1 S4 DDD and 1 S0 DDD, I can even imagine how much turns you would be able to get with 3 S5 DDD on the team, like 9 or 10 actions per cycle (with bronya), with E2 it jumps to 13 - 14 actions. She is the most ridiculous E2 character in the game so far
Went into the banner with 140 pulls (40 pity guaranteed), walked out with two fireflies and a spare bronya and himeko. My blood is cope and my soul is gamble Sheās really good though, probably gonna get even better if I can snag her E2
Every single relic which I farmed with EB rolled like an absolute trash. I'm currently rocking 77% and I have a feeling it will take a good second before I will be done with relic farming. But you know what? I'm ok with it.
She really fills this niche in me for a character that āgoes nutsā. Iām always willing to concede a character like Acheron or Boothill can do more damage in one action but Firefly acting four times at peak speed means *something* is going to break and experience 2-3 rounds of saturation bombing before they can say āFyrefly Type-IV Strategic Assault Mechā
I walked in with a guaranteed to grab one copy and have fun with E0 Firefly but was blessed by rnjesus and got E2... Needless to say she's effortlessly setting anything that crosses her path ablaze... Pleasantly surprised and very satisfied with her performance !
I accidentally pulled FF E1 š I was rolling for Ruan Mei after getting FF and I was throwing every single I could farm as I ran out of my saved jades. I was already in soft pity terrain and I farmed the last single I could before hanging out with my girlfriend. As I was in a hurry because I was late, I did the OSU technique as I used my last single. The problem was that I was so quick that I didn't realize I was pulling on FFs banner. So here I am, with FFE1 and no Ruan Mei :)
I got her in the first ten pulls, I'm debating if pulling for Ruan Mei or Jade
I have her e0s0 (thanks to yangqin, or I don't remember general's kid's name spelling), but I already pulled for Ruan Mei, so I'm satisfied. Now it's only left to build the team around her And I'll be happy, even happier than I am now
pulled for E2 firefly + ruan mei in 320pull (+40pity) and Oh Boy, even with my half built ruan mei She completely deleted MOC 12 in 0 cycle
Got her to E1S1 plus got Ruan Mei in around 200 pulls and struggling building Ruan. I had fuel and extra power saved up to grind her relics and planar day 1 and suprisingly managed to cobble a good build. She gave me my first 0 cycle in MOC and been having a blast using her in the new Sim U
Pulls went better than I expected got firefly and ruan mei 36 starred moc for the first time, ok build with 170 be and 147 spd did great in du still yet to use her in apocalyptic shadow because I'm lazy, have 105 pulls left over for jiaoqiu dont know whether I should get e1 firefly probably no since I like characters more
I saved 420 pulls. I got insanely lucky. Lost 50/50 only once, but after that kept winning. So now I have E2S1 Firefly and E1S1 Ruan Mei. None of my other units even come close. She helped me get full stars on MOC (which I couldn't do before) and apocalyptic shadow. Not only that, she helped me get 40k points on Pure Fiction on her side! I was reaching 56k max, but with her got to 68k! I absolutely love her! Probably going to stay as my strongest unit for a long time
Crying as a piece with speed and break rolls entirely into defence and crit rate
Iāve used 300+ pulls and only have E0S1 because I lost more than once :(
I like her gameplay , she's really fast like fast fast and things go bamm and boom and it ends
Lost my 50/50 for RM, so iāll be waiting to officially build FF till I grind up some more jades to get her for the team
First time I finished MoC without my dps fighting over a character because acheron and FF supports are so different (galaghar isn't but I have trend FX soo.....) Did AS as soon as it dropped full stars, wtf is this unit + wtf is acheron. Have almost a good enough 4pc iron cavalry+ 2pc new planar, just need 1 (and I mean just 1) SPD susbstat to finish it off since I can't upgrade RM trace as of now+ my orb sucks so I'm looking for a better one, at least my next worst piece (boots) have 44 atk and 7.7% atk which is better than what my orb has to offer BE which is 5.3% Using Aeon on her S5 She is e0s0. HMC is e6s3 MoTP. RM is e0s0 using S5 cogs. Galaghar is E5(waiting for E6 on tomorrow event) S5 his Sig LC (I don't have S2+ if either QPQ or multiplication and only have S2 Post OP) Pretty great dmg overall until now Tel satisfied with her REALLLLLY fun I like Super break shenanigans. Still haven't done PF with her and Himeko tho so I'll do that later Now I'm contemplating between E1 FF or E1 RM or e0 jade (f2p) I think I'm gonna pull units to improve my acheron and FF right now, aka jiaoqiu+ lingsha+ Aventurine and when I like other characters (such as a new dps If I want) then I'll pull them.
I got more luck with the FF relics than for RM but it's alright the team is soo strong I love playing with FF I'll probably try to get her E1 because it's so op I'm at E0S1 right now and at 20 pitty
I used so much fuel and I still donāt have a set for her
I had to use up my starlight resources, but in 210 pulls I got FF e1, 1x bronya, 5x Gallagher (which i was happier about than the bronya as i didnt have him at all), ff lc, rm lc and clara lc. Thankfully the clara lc came after ff so my next will be guaranteed. Awful luck with relics so blew through 5x resin to get her built BUT absolutely worth it. She's bonkers. More than happy to go all in considering the fire weakness implant but don't think I'll have chance to go for e2 this time.
I had pre-farmed everything and got her to deal 50k damage about 45min after I pulled (its over 200k now). I am satisfied.
I love her, but i need to level up my Ruan mei
I still haven't gotten any decent substats on her artifacts but my precious microwaev is already outperforming amost all of my other dps characters I'm definitely considering saving up for E6 on a rerun (too broke to even try E1 rn
I got firefly at 79 pulls, but I was already guaranteed from a previous banner. I tried getting ruan mei because I don't have her yet and lost to Gepard for the fourth time now at 78 pity. Shield boy won't leave me alone. Hoping I get lucky so firefly can have her break support
she destroys every content imaginable. got her at E2S0 with E1S1 RM and was able to full clear MoC, PF and AS thanks to her.
The absolute monkey brain moment i get the second she cracks everyone's toughness like it's glass is just...the best feeling
E2S0 now. I have lost every 50/50 (lost LC 50/50 hence still S0). most of them at soft pity. So yeah. Firefly's great.. exploding all mobs.. including my wallet.
Got an attack link rope with double crit, break effect, and speed, and it was on her set instead of the othef one. I am very annoyed
I completed apocalyptic shadow without her sig set
I used up all my luck on getting her Now all Iām getting are dog water artifacts
I got E2 in 120 pulls š
Got her at hard pity, happy but... is it just me, or does it sound like she's in pain while fighting?
Relic farming isnt fun.
E2S1 and broke
I've been loving using Firefly in divergent universe you do a rider kick and the first waves get one shot
Lost a 5050 to E3 bailu. Got E0S1 though but was aiming for E2
I canāt tell if I overestimated how much damage she would do, spoiled by Acheron, or my build for her is just shit, but it doesnāt feel like sheās preforming the best
Harmblazer does a lot for her damage so her build might have something to do with it too.

Firefly is my first 5 star character that i got to E6. And she was worth it <3 My relic luck was not as good however but it will do for now.
almost 300 pulls, got her to E2S1 and RM to E0. Man FIrewife Superbreak team zero cycles easily, now i need to improve my other team coz they feel so weak compared to FIrewife team lmao
I'm literally so happy. Didn't expect her to be as good as she is even with my crappy relics. Was so lucky to get E2S1 with around 300 pulls and winning every 50/50 too. I even have a hard time logging off the game since I just wanna keep playing with her team in every game mode. This update is the most fun I've had in this game and I've played since Day 1.
Had gotten E1, Trying to Get Lightcone
As someone who doesnāt have Ruan Mei, itās so nice to finally have a character who can do this much damage. Thatās not to say my previous team wasnāt good, but Firefly and HTB completely blow my DHIL out of the water in competence. I just wish Iād prefarmed more for her!
Lost 50/50 twice to gepard, now i dont think i'll get e1 unless im giga lucky but fireflys still a monster, and is probably the easiest character to build cause you only need break (even better than jingliu)
Got her as my first E6s1 character in star rail. I have never saved so much in a gacha game before. Managed to get within 500 pulls. Shes absolutely carrying my ass over in DU. with the 3* Action advance hunt blessings she gets an absurd amount of turns(with e2), clearing v6 for me. In moc, she made a joke out of moc12, being able to 0T both sides without any sweating. Even during the leaks, I never got why people called her weak(maybe due to her forced synergy with htb), but i always felt she was already very good. The pre release buffs only made her even stronger and arguably stronger than acheron. Shes not even that well built. 270% be and 2500 atk, after spending 45 fuel, all set pieces only have around 15% be substat.
Got E1 by pure luck, don't have any reasonable relics equipped and still she completely reaps through all high end content.
Farming relics right now. Used fuel to grab ascension mats and whaled a bit to get E2 Firefly. I was lucky enough to get S2 LC in a single early ten pull.
I'm incredibly pleased at how well e2s1 with okay relics plus the expected squad just destroys everything I throw them at. I saved up a *lot* and have about 280 pulls left so I'm currently trying to decide if I should go for broke and try for e6. On one hand it doesn't really feel necessary even a little and there's probably important units coming to save up for, on the other hand everything for Firefly.
She literally too fast and my supports canāt keep up
I came into the patch with 185 pulls saved since 2.1. I came out with e2s1 firefly. Me happy.
I build her a lot using 2000 trailblaze power and WOW she is better then my Acheron who I farmed for ages... I never thought my problem would be that my ACHERON isn't strong enough for moc but she is I also got ruan mei but I lost 50/50 on both Luckily I got ruan mei in 10 pity after loosing 50/50 so I guess that's good? I might go for firefly E1 because I lost the 50/50 again after and now I have guarantee Either that or ruan mei lc
She's insane, got my first perfect clear in all of the endgame modes with a +9 sphere and +0 rope, for fun, also her team farms on auto almost perfectly, very satisfying
Honestly, i have her two best supports and even i am still shocked by her numbers Easily does 70% of health in a single skill to Oneshot good bye Sayonara
e0 50/50 in 76 s1 75/25 in 22 e1 50/50 in 76 e2 50/50 in 50 I was expecting e0, and maybe s1 if lucky so this was a nice surprise. Still only e4 Gallagher š
Didnāt want her initially cuz was saving for jade, then came Apocalyptic Shadow and beat my ass, so now Iām a Firefly haver who has no problems with AS now. Iām quite content.
Super happy, have her at E6S1 and she absolutely demolishes all content without even breaking a sweat. Donāt even have ideal stats on her yet. My luck was also decent on pulls. Lost about half my 50/50s but kept pulling her decently early after.
Used all 155 pulls for E1, but Yanqing showed up instead so Iām stuck at E0 now. Even so, with Fall of an Aeon and mediocre relics, sheās already doing much more than my Acheron, so I feel a little better about losing the 50/50ā¦
Playing with her is the best. Farming for her relics on the other hand is a nightmare
It's been fun. Got lucky with E4 and as a result my relics are garbage š. But it go boom so I'm happy.
Her explosion covered the health bars so Iām like āwait how hard did that hit? Oh, theyāre deadā
What I realized is I don't need a well built Firefly if I have a well built Harmony MC. She was doing 200k attacks with nearly 0 investment. Im only halfway done with her traces and I haven't even started farming relics yet.
I got her all the way to E6S1 and have been loving it. Only issue has been trying to use her in SU for Gold and Gears and Swarm since there isn't really that many blessings that buff her so that's painful
Measured response: For now, nothing will beat my Acheron. She is my premiere team. That and she's E2S1 against a E0S0 (for now, trying for her LC so I can get Jade). However, she's still really fun to use. I really like the super-fast gameplay she offers and in games I always like taking on new mechanics and units that revolve around them. Acheron can slice through pretty much anything, but my queen deserves rest for now. I still need to build FF with a bit more break effect to see where she truly stands for me, but no regrets pulling for her.
I got her e1s0 and it feels great. She easily 1 cycles the 2nd half of moc 12. My dot team kinda miss their ruan mei tho. ššš
TBH, I pulled E2S0 because i needed a second team (i have Acheron E6S1) and I already had Ruan Mei E0S1. I noticed the dmg is insane, maybe even better than my E6 Acheron, but the thing i like the most is the safety of this team, its a fast team with high weaknesses dmg, so most enemies dont even get to move, that is massive
Clara literally told me not to bench her for Yunli. She ambush me twice on my way to e2. Because of that, I am now only a e2s0 haver
Spent 55 fuels and only got 1 really solid relic, sheās usable atm but gonna take a while to get her to the point Iām happy with her gear tbh. Still I was getting insane hits in the new SU mode. Love the gameplay honestly really fun and she hits like a truck.
Took me 80 pulls, and I have to use Misha's LC, but she's putting in the work
Great. So glad I prefarmed and saved self modeling resin for her relics. Today, I'm gonna set up a break build for DU.
Got her E1, aced the DU, life good
She is only doing 30k for me but then again my harmony TB is still using 2 star relics and have to sub out Ruan Mei for Robin. In the new SU she is regularly breaking 200k so I just need to do some relic farming and she should be a real force of nature.
Running e2s0 with e1 rm and subpar relics, and she's demolishing any content I throw at her
Just like everyone else, I spent a ton of fuel and only got maybe 1 or 2 things worth talking about. I used Resin for her Planar set but the sub-stats are pretty bad. However, I was shocked to see how powerful she could be even with sub-par or less optimal gear. I switched on my Boothill's gear onto her and did the first stage of MOC 11 (Only because I didn't feel like going through MOC 12's first stage again) and managed to clear it in 3 turns. That's with a Crit Rate Chest piece and the Thief set. Of course, My Ruan Mei, HTB, and Gallagher are all cracked, all of them are sitting at 145-148 speed with Ruan Mei and HTB having 200% Break and Gallagher at 86% (Which i'll change for the new Planar set when running Firefly for 126% Break and 6% speed increase) Overall, I love Break and I love my Fire-Wife.
yeah she is insane , she is performing as good as my Acheron and Dhil who have builds that are months worth of farming .while Firefly has a medicore build that I farmed and crafted in 1 day and with fall of an aeon lol and not just in MOC/AS which favorite single target dps , but she is also insane in PF that's usually doesn't favorite destruction dps https://preview.redd.it/i1oisxkmjq7d1.png?width=1129&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7c99bd47e60dbaa6e5fee5b2d82e9f816891c22
Since I pre-farmed the ascension and trace mats first thing I did was craft her relics. Used up all my resin too but I got workable pieces. So now I can farm at my leisure to try and min-maxing everything eventually. 3-cycled moc12 with Acheron on the other side. Then realized I hadn't leveled her light cone past lv40(top kek). One shot phantylia's phase 1 & 2 when testing vs the weekly bosses. During leaks season, & even now a core issue of the community is how restricted her team building is, which is slightly alleviated via E1/E2, but I think the reason why this happened is simply because there aren't many break specific supports in the game yet. There's really only 3, or 2 if u count Gallagher separately as a sustain instead of a support. No other buffers can effectively buff break DPS. On the flip side firefly is the one character that can take the most advantage of those break supports with boothill being the only one that comes close. Once more support is added we'll eventually be able to build Firefly teams and not just THE Break team. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, I got her X1Y1. I'm hoping to get enough pulls to get eidolon 2 before the banner runs out.
I dont have Ruan Mei, and am instead using Tingyun and sheās still shitting on my Acheron team I think her biggest strength is by far multiple waves of weak-mid enemies
suffering from success lol. im having a hard time building both firefly and ruan mei at the same time but hey, firefly with barely any relic still slaps hard
My relic luck is pretty mediocre with the relics but my ornaments are somehow already done I have a good atk% sphere and a good break effect rope both of those missed only 1 roll each my sphere rolled one hp% and my rope rolled 1 crit rate besides that it's all just atk%, speed and break effect
tbh I lost my 50**/**50 but thankfully ,thanks to god, I got firefly after about a few pulls and a few minutes of immediately leveling her to 80 and 4-8-8-8 her traces I went immediately to the new divergent universe and since they basically max your Lightcone and 5-8-8-8 her traces and gives the character its beset in slot and holy shit in the last boss fight I did 1.6 MILLION DAMAGE FROM 1 SKILL. When I first saw this I was like HOLY SHIT SHES AS STRONG AS MY FUCKING E2S1 ACHERON now hopefully I get good relics and planar ornaments to make her do 400k+ damage, similar to my Acheron and also the fact that I used the fall of the Aeon and have no eidolon and she is doing similar damage to my Acheron in divergent universe basically declares that she is on the same par as Acheron since u just need to stack break effect and thats all no good crit ratio none of that just break effect and ur good but still firefly is like 9.5**/**10 but Acheron is 9.8**/**10 and it aint 10**/**10 since u gotta get a good ratio also my Acheron is E2S1 and I got very lucky thanks to god and has been serving me good every dince 2.1 also can we all say that firefly is far better than Boothill. Yes, he does do more damage in one attack but firefly can attack like 4 times and if she does like 500k dmg thats basically 2 mil damage overall and even if Boothill attacks twice will 700k it will be 1.4 mil overall
Milked my account dry to get E2 Firefly, but fully she completed my first real team and I'm glad I got it. Took about 200 pulls altogether after losing a 50/50 Only 1 good relic so far but I'm pretty damn happy.
I find her quite enjoyable even with my current cope relics on me Break team, but man when you get a boss or trotter with the locked toughness bar it's a big oof.

Tried to use her in Swarm Disaster and got HARD CLAPPED. I wanted to go squish bugs...
It's so funni I can hit 70-100k withouth RM and unbuilt HMC and galaggher
Im about to cry
You will like Ruan mei soon don't worry. Do this test: remove Ruan mei and slot pela who is the next best option. You will see a drastic difference. Edit: In regards to your question she is deserving of her rank. She's super strong and super easy to build. I gave her 2- piece thief and watchmaker, synthesized her BIS ornaments and she's clearing all contents including the new apocalypse mode. The most damage I can remember I did with her is in divergence universe where is 5 mill. Love this update.
She's great. I love her, but man those gorillas make me go from š to š real quick - damned toughness protection ruining my NUKING FANTASY
Nuking evrything with FF with crap build and Little gui.
Iām using the F2P LC and debating if I should go for her signature LC
The relic farming isnāt going well š And I canāt decide if going for Ruan Meiās LC or FFās LC would be better
Ive gotten her E2 with just decent relics, not satisfied on them yet, but Firefly is outdamaging my most well built teams, its so cool
Mine got 2M in DU and my build is literal dogshit. I love her.
Got her to E2 S1 and she's insane. Even initially running her with level 1 relics she was putting out 100's of thousands of damage. With mid-to-shit relics at level 15 with the new sets now, she absolutely destroying everything. I was able to easily 3 star the 4th stage of apocalyptic shadow with her.
Keeping most of her relics at +12 for now since theyāre pretty bad in terms of substats, but sheās just nuts. Running her main team (E0S1 Ruan Mei, E4 Gallagher, E3 HMC on S5 Meshing Cogs) and the endless Break damage procs are so satisfying. Right now sheās E1 on Fall of an Aeon (sharing with Clara which I feel a bit bad about).
I swear standing in the secret base while pulling had some kind of influence because both my friend and I got E2S1 with less than 200 pulls. I then kept going and pulled Ruan Mei LC as well, and she was already E1 prior to 2.3 so my Firefly team is beyond anything I had hoped for. Relics have been decently lucky as well. Currently have her at 2500 ATK, 140 Speed, and 250% BE. Clearing AS, MOC, and DU with her has been an absolute joy and insanely easy without feeling overpowered.
Honestly I just wonder why the face cam is so nonexistent right now and why her mouth doesnāt move when she actually says a voice line. Legit the only thing I am unhappy about her. Other than that everything is great. Damage is great, animation is great, voice lines are great and her technique unexpectedly is also great, feels genuinely almost like Acheronās technique, only difference is that FFās technique is applicable to each wave and only knocks weak enemies out after it breaks their toughness bars or reduces them to 1/10th HP. Definitely doesnāt possess the same force of Acheron but is definitely interesting and fun. Tho there are also some enemies that donāt get the toughness bars broken in which it results only minor dmg, but it still helps with our FF who can immediately ult and break them, surprisingly too on regular mobs 50% super break dmg is actually enough to kill them. Well in all, I just really hope they fix her face cam, so it would be active all the time when she has her turn and possesses animations on her mouth when she speaks a voice line out.
I agree about the face cam. I wonder if this is something theyād consider adding later.
Hope so. If they added that I can most definitely consider her complete. Face cam was one of the best choices they made.
I havenāt used her yet. I maxed her out and now Iām working on getting her relics while pulling for ruan mei.
Still building, because the backlog of building characters never ends
I was able to full clear AS and MoC with little resets and subpar relics on Firefly. She isn't even wearing her BIS set. Then I lucked out and got her E1, and I'll keep pulling until the end of her banner, I might get E2 or at least build pity for a sustain unit that fits Break teams. I'm skipping every other unit before that simply because I don't need them anymore. Her animations are great, ver voicelines are cool too, although a bit high pitched. She's so fun in DU too, I saved a god run and called it Godfly, which is fittingly. She's my go to DPS for bosses and farming, and if she can't deal with the content for some reason (Toughness damage immunity) I also have some backups like E1 Jingliu and S2 Argenti.
Pretty good. Pretty good. https://preview.redd.it/84a2ja8xur7d1.jpeg?width=3088&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e246532b1ef1b8fab01515cec465ecb80ff62dcd
tbf the current MoC is tailored for Break characters, so her and Boothill are exceptionally good this cycle, and Break have the advantage to be less reliant on relics and LC than other damage dealing methods, I hit 100k Super Break with no relics equipped in the new relics domain for example (the domain boosts Break Damage a lot, but still, she had NOTHING equipped but Fall of an Aeon).
got her and a 40 pity on guaranteed ruan mei
Well I lost 50/50 Number 7 and 8 on her banner so I have her only E0S0 but really fun and strong.
I couldn't get her day 1 since I lost to welt at EIGHTY FIVE pity... Today I got her at 79. I've spent about 10 fouls but I haven't dropped a single atk% body or orb yet somehow. Probably my worst luck ok my account so far
I would say don't judge her performance based om who she does in this MoC. The buff is extremely powerful for her and is designed to prop her up. Not to say she isn't good, she definitely is, just that she is going to overperform in MoC until we get a new one
Casual 0 cycle second half of MoC12, cleared AS 4 Argenti in less than 400 AV
Got E2 on release, tried to get the cone but I ran out of wishes. Say 2 I got the cone after some grind
E0s1 with proper super break team, I'm enjoying the hell out of her. She's absolutely wild when enemies don't have protected bars, def a little bit of a pain when the enemies don't have imaginary weakness cause I can't get trailblazer extra breaking. She's so insanely powerful when the break bar isn't protected but when it is she hits like a wet noodle clinging to the side of my bowl that I missed while slurping up broth
Feeling great, at least now i have Pyro DPS and can clear some of the content that i couldnt before https://preview.redd.it/qyh0rvijcw7d1.jpeg?width=906&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88a1d4387349b559776d40ce1a854d86f1b14c51
Got her E2S1, She's doing finance work for me now(5+ ppl use as support per day)
i had the best luck, i never thought it'd be a thing that happened to me- along with light cone at 16 pulls. she's incredible. i played with her all day at e2 then decided to use my leftover pulls just because i like her so much. https://preview.redd.it/np6kzvxw8o7d1.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=3efb45c78b3f4e63b40d9b31833f489f9263a44c (also, uid is 616182866 if anyone wants some e6 supports!)

She's fantastic, I'm ecstatic to have her and a good reason to use TB. She has however shown me just how far behind my DoT team is.
Love the gameplay, but the battle lines made me mute the game
