Introduction
Hello and welcome to this Xentinel Mei Elysian Realm Guide!
This Guide is based on the 8.7 CN beta v2 and therefore subject to change, which is why this guide isn’t as detailed. For safe information, please await the global beta.
ER Weather for v8.7
Nothing too interesting here this time.
When the active Valkyrie hits the enemy, Rice Cake launches an attack. This has a 5 second cooldown and applies one stack of “Firework” on the enemies.
Valkyries can trigger Firework stacks with Weapon Skill or Ultimate , dealing big DMG to the enemies.

+2 Signets Phase 2: Kalpas, Pardofelis
Xentinel Mei Basics
The new Mei is a Grail of Infinitude Valkyrie, therefore her gameplay focuses on Ultimates . Here’s a quick summary of her kit so that the following can (hopefully) be easy to understand!
AR Charging Build
The first build is based on the Ego Signet 「悬光」 and focused on Mei’s Gameplay during Astral Ring Charging mode.
The Signet has following (relevant) effects on her kit:
- Hitting enemies with her Basic ATK SEQ 3 makes the next Ultimate cost no SP
- When doing a second Ultimate, Weapon Skill CD is reduced
- Weapon Skill reduces HP (until 25% of max HP)
This comes down to a rotation of
Weapon Skill ➤ Basic ATK x2 ➤ Ultimate x2 ➤ repeat

Video Example
As of now, Mei is a really strong unit in the Elysian Realm. Both builds can do 1:xx clears at S0, which is a very solid time.
On the downside, the SO build is sort of clunky to play because the timing needs to be really good, else she just won’t launch the right attacks. Her ARC Build is pretty easy to play, however, if she misses one attack the rotation is basically ruined and she needs to throw in an entire Basic ATK sequence to make up for it.
This is still v2 though, so stay tuned for updates!!
