Soldier 0 - Anby is an Electric Attack character who spends time on field dealing damage. Her attacks mark enemies with Silver Star and build White Thunder stacks, which she can spend to trigger Aftershock damage.

She works well alongside a Stun or Support character. Either specialty activates her Additional Ability, giving her CRIT Rate and increasing the squad's Aftershock damage against marked enemies while she is active.

Guide

How the kit works

Start hitting an enemy with Basic Attack: Penetrating Shock to apply Silver Star and charge the target. Each third of the charge gives the enemy one White Thunder stack, up to three. After the fourth basic hit connects, keep pressing or hold the button to pass through enemies up to five times.

Use Special Attack: Azure Flash when an enemy has White Thunder. It dashes forward and deals multiple Electric hits; on hitting an enemy, it consumes one stack to trigger an extra Aftershock. Once that extra damage triggers three times on the same enemy, Special Attack: Thunder Smite calls down a lightning strike that also counts as Aftershock damage.

With enough energy, hold the special button for EX Special Attack: Sundering Bolt (Special). A hit fully charges Silver Star. Ultimate: Voidstrike also fully charges it on hit and is available at Maximum Decibel Rating. Both skills and Azure Flash make Anby invulnerable during use.

Core Passive: Voltage Gap increases Anby's damage against marked enemies by 25%. Marked enemies also receive extra CRIT DMG from Aftershock attacks equal to 30% of her CRIT DMG. Bring a Stun or Support teammate to activate Additional Ability: Voltage Surge for another 10% CRIT Rate and a 25% squad Aftershock damage increase against marked enemies while Anby is active.

For defense, Dodge: Strobe makes Anby invulnerable during the dodge. Press attack during a Perfect Dodge for Dodge Counter: Ground Flash Counter. Defensive Assist: Counter Surge parries an incoming attack and deals Daze; follow it with Assist Follow-Up: Conducting Blow for Electric damage.

Build and why

Use four pieces of Shadow Harmony and two pieces of Woodpecker Electro. Shadow Harmony's two-piece bonus increases Aftershock and Dash Attack damage by 15%. Its four-piece effect builds up to three stacks of 4% ATK and 4% CRIT Rate when matching-attribute Aftershocks or Dash Attacks hit, at most once per skill use. Woodpecker Electro adds 8% CRIT Rate.

Branch & Blade Song is another set to consider: its two-piece bonus gives 16% CRIT DMG. Its four-piece CRIT DMG bonus requires at least 115 Anomaly Mastery, while its CRIT Rate bonus requires a squad member to apply Freeze or trigger Shatter. Check those conditions before using four pieces.

On disc 4, choose CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG. Use Electric DMG Bonus or Percent ATK on disc 5, and Percent ATK on disc 6. For substats, look for CRIT DMG first, then CRIT Rate and Percent ATK. CRIT DMG also feeds Voltage Gap's bonus for Aftershock attacks.

Leveling priority

Level Core Passive: Voltage Gap first, then Special Attack, Basic Attack, Chain Attack, Dodge and Assist. The passive strengthens damage against marked enemies and their received Aftershock CRIT DMG. Special Attack covers her White Thunder damage, while Basic Attack helps her keep attacking and charging targets.

For maximum ascension, you need 800,000 Denny, 4 × Basic Attack Certification Seal, 32 × Advanced Attack Certification Seal and 30 × Pioneer's Certification Seal. Leveling all skills to maximum takes 2,905,000 Denny, 25 × Basic Shock Chip, 75 × Advanced Shock Chip, 250 × Specialized Shock Chip, 5 × Hamster Cage Pass, 9 × Living Drive and 60 × Higher Dimensional Data: Mortal Cleave.

Mindscapes worth it

Prequel Protagonist is worth considering for its damage: after six instances of White Thunder's extra damage, it creates a vortex that deals 1,000% of Anby's ATK as Electric Aftershock damage to the target and nearby enemies.

Fail-Safe Protocol gives 12% CRIT Rate. After her Ultimate, Anby gains six Thunder's Cry stacks that Azure Flash (Special) can consume instead of White Thunder while still triggering its extra damage. Static Charge is another useful option: an EX Special hit triggers White Thunder's extra damage three times without consuming its stacks.

Silver Reverb is worth considering for its 12% Electric RES ignore against marked enemies. Past Glory and Director's Cut each add two levels to Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack and Chain Attack. You can leave those for later if the other effects matter more to you.

Teams

Anby gives the team a reason to attack marked enemies with Aftershocks: while she is active, the ability increases all squad members' Aftershock damage against those targets by 25%. Keep Anby on field when you want that squad bonus active.

Common mistakes

Do not ignore White Thunder stacks. Special Attack: Azure Flash needs an enemy with a stack, and its extra damage helps trigger Special Attack: Thunder Smite after three activations on the same target.

Do not forget the Stun or Support teammate: without one, Anby misses the CRIT Rate and squad Aftershock bonuses from her Additional Ability. Also avoid choosing four pieces of Branch & Blade Song without checking its Anomaly Mastery and team effect conditions.

Do not build only CRIT DMG and forget CRIT Rate or ATK. Use the disc options and substat order as a starting point, then check what your weapon and set already provide.
