If Nicole Asks, please cover for me.

Suiting up before the big battle. Hmm, a classic movie trope.

Burgers are truly a remarkable food — not just because I love them.

See? They've got a balanced mix of nutrients, a portable design, and endless creative combinations that all somehow work perfectly.

I'm convinced that burgers won't lose their value just because they can't go in a hot pot.

Or... could it be that burgers might actually taste amazing in a hot pot?

Soldier 0 - Anby is a limited-time S-Rank Agent, and will be available on the Exclusive Channel during version 1.6 Phase one, starting on March 12, 2025.

Strengths

• High Damage Dealer with the Aftershock's increased CRIT DMG
• Good Mobility: her attacks are fast paced
• No Faction related additional ability: Stun or Support, which opens team choices
• New powerful Aftershock mechanic
• Straightforward and easy to use

Weaknesses

• Does not outshine the other Attack agents
• Requires very High on-field time to get all her buffs to trigger

Soldier 0 - Anby is a Main DPS. Anby requires a tonne of On-field time, but her build and mechanics are rather straight forward. If you are looking for an Electric Attack agent that is easy to play and will not require too much brainstorming or investment, Soldier 0 - Anby will be the perfect pick.

Soldier 0 - Anby is the first Electric Attack agent after Asaba Harumasa, and compared to him she is way easier to play. Harumasa has some tricky mechanics, and if you did not feel very comfortable playing him, Soldier 0 - Anby is the exact opposite.

Anby's gameplay is not very complicated. Her Basic, Dodge, Chain, and Assists are all very straight to the point. She basically repeatedly slashes enemies with Electric attacks. Holding her Basic attack will allow to slash through enemies up to 5 times rapidly. Her attacks are very fast, allowing for good mobility between enemies, or fast evading against bosses.

Anby has a "new" mechanic called Aftershock. Aftershock is basically an additional attack that will trigger when certain conditions are met, and deal 1 extra instance of Electric. On top of that, other DMG types will also be considered as Aftershock DMG.

Basically you hit enemies with an additional Electric DMG after certain attacks to deal even more damage.

Aftershock can trigger through multiple ways:

• When your Special Attack hits an enemy.
• When Anby's White Thunder damage triggers 3 times on the same enemy.

You should not really have to think about it, as those aftershock attacks will trigger regularly while you attack.

Additionally, Soldier 0 - Anby also applies a special Mark on enemies through her Special Attack. This Mark is called Silver Star. Every stack of that Mark, will also apply a stack of White Thunder on the enemy. You can stack up to 3 White Thunder. When White Thunder is applied, you can press Anby's special attack again to consume one stack to trigger one Aftershock DMG.

Using her Ex Special attack will allow you to apply 3 stacks of White Thunder directly.

Marking enemies with Silver Star will also trigger Anby's Core Passive, which increases her damage dealt, and the CRIT DMG from Aftershock attacks.

One good thing also about Soldier 0 - Anby, is that her additional Ability requires you to have Stun or Support agents in your squad, and no other faction member, opening up the team possibilities. You will have to play her as the active character however, in order to trigger the increased DMG on Aftershock.

Basically all you have to know for Soldier 0 - Anby is:

• Use the Special Attack to mark the enemies with Silver Star
• Use her Ultimate when it is available. It also charges Silver Star.
• Use her Ex Special Attack to apply 3 White Thunder stacks immediately.
• Press Special Attack again to consume one stack and trigger Aftershock DMG.
• Keep her on field as much as possible.

For her Build, Soldier 0 - Anby's best W-Engine is her Severed Innocence signature S-Rank W-Engine. It is the Best-in-Slot option for Soldier 0 - Anby as it will give her a huge CRIT DMG boost, as well as increased Electric DMG. if you are looking to give Anby a good boost, her W-Engine is really 100% worth the investment.

Marcato Desire is the second best option for Anby's build, if you managed to grab it from the event. If not, any other Attack W-Engine that can provide CRIT or ATK buffs will do the job.

In order to give Soldier 0 - Anby the best build possible, you will need to farm for the Drive Disc set that releases with her: Shadow Harmony. This set is specifically made for her as it increases the DMG of Aftershocks and Dash Attacks, and the 4-piece will further increase Anby's ATK % and CRIT Rate %

You have various options as 2-pieces, as any set that gives ATK%, CRIT Rate %, or CRIT DMG % will be a good choice for Anby's build.

The best Bangboo option for Soldier 0 - Anby will highly depend on her teammates. So far, there is no specific Obol Squad Bangboo, so if you play her with other Electric agents, Plugboo if a good choice. it is unknown currently if she still counts as a Cunning Hares members or not, so Amillion may not work.

Snap is also one of the best general options, even if you do do not use the healing boost from double Stars of Lyra. His DMG boost is not negligible.

Support Bangboo such as Knightboo, Exploreboo, or Avocaboo are always viable options as well.

Soldier 0 - Anby is a very good main DPS. She provides your squad with heavy Electric DMG and has the ability to buff herself extremely well. She is also very easy to use, but requires high field time. She will have to be paired with agents that are only being swapped in for a few seconds here and there.

Astra Yao is the top support for Soldier 0 Anby for the time being. Her ability to heal, buff, and support you while being off-field is the perfect pair for Soldier Anby. Any premium team build for Soldier 0 Anby will include Astra Yao.

The third slot is for now extremely flexible, until Trigger releases. She will most likely fill it. But for the time being you can use Qingyi as the best option. Alternatives include Nicole Demara, Caesar King for some defense and additional boosts, or even Lucy or base Anby.

Qingyi is one of the best Electric Stun Agents you can get. If you do not have her, you can use Alexandrina Sebastiane. Rina is a support agent but she will increase Anby's PEN ratio. Caesar King is a very good choice for any team: she provides buffs, shields, and debuffs enemies.

This team is your go-to team if you just started the game or if you want a F2P squad. Despite both Anby's being the same person, you can still play them together. Base Anby Demara is a great option to stun, and Nicole is always a very good team mate for some support. She will be able to pack enemies together, allowing your Soldier Anby to slash through them more often. You can also use Seth Lowell or Lucy which are both good defense (for Seth) and support agents.
