Dea Anchora
Durandal
Dea Anchora is Durandal's S-rank BIO-type Fire lance user from v4.4. She alternates punching and spear-throwing Ultimates to build Astrum, enters Astral Harness with a Charged ATK, then chains enhanced Ultimates into the Seirios Ballista finisher. As a Part 1 battlesuit with no Astral Ring, she is outdated in the 9.0 endgame, but her simple Ultimate-spam loop still works in Part 1 Fire teams built around Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo! and in the Elysian Realm.

Stat targets
- Stigmata affixes: ATK on every piece (Marisa Impact)
- Pair Little Joys with Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo!; otherwise favour SP regen
- Seirios Ballista gains 60% ATK per SP consumed: enter it with as much SP as possible (cap 35, 42 at SSS)
Talent priority
Where to get her gear: Sagittarius Astra from the Focused Supply; Shakespeare: Adrift (G3) and Little Joys (G4) are craftable in the Foundry, which takes a couple of months for a new account (Marisa Impact).
Recommended teams
Part 1 Fire (Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo!)
Sparkle is now the best support for Part 1 Fire and Ignite teams: SP, Ultimate CD reduction and big Ignite buffs, which is exactly what Dea Anchora lacks. Herrscher of Truth adds Elemental Breach. No Astral Ring here: this is a Part 1 team.
Budget Part 1 Fire (Chrono Navi)
Before Sparkle, Chrono Navi was the Part 1 Fire and Ignite support, and she remains the free option (Asterite Shop, Open World). Marisa Impact shows this Dea Anchora, Herrscher of Truth and Chrono Navi team in action.
How to play
Core loop
- Her Ultimate only costs 15 SP, restores 50 Astrum and grants Iron Body. It changes with context: Astral Flares (a flurry of punches) from melee, or Voidstar Anchor (a leap and spear throw that gathers enemies for 2s) right after Basic ATK SEQ 3/4/5. The two variants can alternate.
- Every Ultimate inflicts Ignite Trauma, and her QTE triggers on airborne or ignited enemies (3s Global Time Fracture, restores 10 SP, gathers enemies).
- Her Ultimate Evasion skill, Flight of Bellephoron, triggers a 3s Global Time Fracture (CD 15s) and connects into Basic ATK SEQ 3.
Astral Harness
- At 200 Astrum, hold [ATK] to cast Astra Forge (800% ATK of Fire DMG and a 2s Global Time Fracture) and enter Astral Harness, which drains 20 Astrum per second (the drain pauses during Ultimates).
- In Astral Harness her Basic ATKs are enhanced and her Ultimates become Astral Flares EX / Voidstar Anchor EX with invincibility. Cast the Ultimate twice, then tap [ULT] again for Seirios Ballista: 700% ATK of Fire DMG, plus 60% ATK for every SP consumed (up to 35 SP). It ends Astral Harness and resets Astrum.
- With Sagittarius Astra, open with the weapon Throw: it leaves Stardust, and Astra Forge (a Charged ATK) shatters it for a huge Fire blast that makes enemies take more Fire DMG.
Rotation
- Weapon Throw → spam Ultimate (alternating Astral Flares and Voidstar Anchor) until Astrum is full.
- Hold [ATK] for Astra Forge to enter Astral Harness.
- Ultimate, Ultimate, then Seirios Ballista. Repeat.
SP is her real limit: every loop spends it quickly. That is why Marisa Impact only recommends Little Joys when Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo! supports her; otherwise Shakespeare: Adrift and SP-regen help more. In the Elysian Realm, the Stars Ego signet alone is enough, and a Deliverance SP-regen signet should be picked up early.
Strengths
- Simple, satisfying loop: spam the Ultimate, enter Astral Harness, finish with Seirios Ballista ("still one of the best designs in the game" according to Marisa Impact).
- Voidstar Anchor gathers enemies, and her Throws and Time Fractures give her good control.
- Easy to unlock: War Treasury (Ancient Willpower since v8.5) and Dorm Supply; her stigmata are craftable in the Foundry.
- Unlocking her pays off with Elysian Realm first-clear crystal rewards.
Weaknesses
- No Astral Ring: outclassed by Part 2 battlesuits in Superstring Abyss and the Memorial Arena.
- Very SP-hungry; without Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo! or SP-regen gear, her loop stalls.
- Her PRI-ARM Sagittarius Astra mostly comes from the Focused Supply, which Marisa Impact advises against pulling for now.
- Needs Part 1 Fire supports (Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo!, Herrscher of Truth) that newer players rarely own; Herrscher of Truth is not currently obtainable.
Notable dupes · Rank
Restores 1.5 SP per second on standby, which eases her SP problems.
The last hit of Astral Flares EX deals 320% ATK of bonus Fire DMG, Voidstar Anchor EX creates 2 more Ether Anchors, and Voidstar Anchor (normal and EX) deals 25% more Fire DMG.
Seirios Ballista restores 10 SP and its SP cap rises to 42 (after SS2's +50% Total DMG on Seirios Ballista).
