A Electric Stun

Anby Demara is the free A-Rank Electric Stun Agent you get at the very start of the game. Her kit boils down to two short combos that build a lot of Daze very quickly, and she deals decent damage for a Stunner, especially at M6. She gives her team no buffs or debuffs, though, so any stronger Stunner (Qingyi first of all) eventually replaces her.

W-Engines

Hellfire Gears BiS
S · Impact
Koleda's signature and Prydwen's top pick: Impact main stat, off-field Energy Regen and up to +20% Impact from EX Specials, which Anby uses constantly.
Off-field Energy Regen +0.6/s; each EX Special Attack grants Impact +10% for 10s, up to 2 stacks.
The Restrained
S · Impact
Lycaon's signature, Game8's first choice: stacks Basic Attack DMG and Daze, which suits Thunderbolt. A bit less Daze than Hellfire Gears but more damage.
Hits stack Basic Attack DMG and Daze +6% for 8s, up to 5 times.
Steam Oven
A · Energy Regen
Craftable A-Rank with an Energy Regen main stat. Excellent to open fights, so it shines in Shiyu Defense; weaker over long Deadly Assault fights.
Every 10 Energy accumulated grants Impact +2% (up to 8 stacks), kept for 8s after the Energy is spent.
Precious Fossilized Core
A · Impact
Craftable A-Rank with an Impact main stat. Its bonus Daze against high-HP enemies makes it great in Deadly Assault, sometimes even better than S-Rank options.
Daze +10% against targets above 50% HP, and +20% above 75% HP.
Demara Battery Mark II
A · Impact
Her signature, but it mostly boosts her own damage. Only worth it if you want to play her for damage, which Prydwen doesn't recommend.
Electric DMG +15%; Dodge Counter or Assist Attack hits raise Energy Generation Rate by 18% for 8s.

Drive Discs

King of the Summit ×4
Shockstar Disco ×2
Best Stun set: +6% Daze and up to +30% CRIT DMG for the whole squad after EX Specials and Chain Attacks. The full buff needs 50% CRIT Rate, and only works if your team builds CRIT.
Set effects
2pIncreases Daze of attacks by 6%
4pWhen the equipper is a Stun character and uses an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack, increases CRIT DMG of all squad members by 15%, and when the equipper's CRIT Rate is more than or equal to 50%, further increases CRIT DMG by 15%, lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
2pImpact +6%
Astral Voice ×4
King of the Summit ×2
Use it if someone else already wears King of the Summit (its 4-pc doesn't stack) or your DPS isn't CRIT-based. Needs regular Quick Assists.
Set effects
2pATK +10%
4pWhenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
2pIncreases Daze of attacks by 6%
Shockstar Disco ×4
Swing Jazz ×2
Game8's pick and a good early option: the most raw Daze, plus Energy Regen. Usually weaker than a supportive 4-pc.
Set effects
2pImpact +6%
4pBasic Attacks, Dash Attacks, and Dodge Counters inflict 20% more Daze to the main target.

Anby's value is her Daze: Impact and the Core Passive come first. Keep her Additional Ability active with an Electric Agent or Nicole/Billy to get more EX Specials.

Teams

Recommended teams

Free Cunning Hares

A fully free team from the first chapters. All three share the Cunning Hares faction, so every Additional Ability is active, and Nicole's DEF Shred lands during Anby's Stuns. Bangboo: Amillion (2+ Cunning Hares) or Bagboo.

Electric: Harumasa & Astra Yao

Prydwen's go-to budget Stunner for Harumasa when you don't have Qingyi: she fills his downtime fast and shares his Electric attribute. Astra Yao adds the buffs and Quick Assists. Bangboo: Plugboo (2+ Electric Agents).

Ether: Zhu Yuan & Nicole

A budget take on Zhu Yuan's classic team, with Anby as a stand-in for Qingyi. Nicole activates both Anby's (faction) and Zhu Yuan's (a Support in the squad) Additional Abilities; she also adds +25% Ether DMG through her own. Bangboo: Amillion or Bagboo.

Guide

How to play

Core Passive: Fluctuating Voltage

Launching Basic Attack: Thunderbolt, a Special Attack or an EX Special Attack right after the 3rd hit of her Basic Attack adds up to 64% Daze. Her whole game plan is built around that timing.

The two combos

  • With Energy: Basic 1 → 2 → 3 → EX Special (Lightning Bolt) → tap Basic for Thunderbolt. The EX comes out faster after hit 3 and both hits get the Core Passive bonus.
  • Without Energy: Basic 1 → 2 → 3 → hold Basic for Thunderbolt. Holding is easier than pausing and loses nothing.
  • Her regular Special Attack is never worth it: Thunderbolt does the same job better.

Tips

  • Use her Ultimate outside Stun to create an extra Stun window rather than saving it for damage.
  • Always take the Dodge Counter, even mid-combo: with her Additional Ability active (a teammate sharing her Electric attribute or the Cunning Hares faction) it refunds 7.2 Energy every 5s.
  • Defensive Assist + Assist Follow-Up is a huge burst of Daze: take it whenever an enemy flashes.
  • From M1, finishing a full 4-hit string every 30s gives her +12% Energy Generation Rate.

Stun the enemy, Chain into your damage dealer, and repeat. That is all Anby needs to do.

Strengths

  • Free from the start of the game, with an easy M6.
  • Very simple combos that build Daze fast and are hard to get wrong.
  • Generates plenty of Energy, and can even feed other Electric Agents at M4.
  • Surprisingly decent personal damage for a Stunner, especially at M6.

Weaknesses

  • Almost no AoE unless enemies are grouped up.
  • Brings no buffs or debuffs, unlike most other Stun Agents.
  • Outclassed by at least one other Stunner in every team, starting with Qingyi.
