Anton Ivanov is an A-Rank Electric Attack Agent who enters Burst Mode with his EX Special and then drills enemies while draining his Energy. His Additional Ability re-triggers Shock damage every 4 critical hits, so he shines next to a Shock applier like Grace. He's one of the most Energy-hungry Agents in the game and has fallen behind the current meta (T3 on Prydwen, Tier 3 on Game8).

Recommended teams

Shock: Grace & Qingyi

Grace keeps enemies Shocked for his Additional Ability and shares both his attribute and his faction; Qingyi brings fast Stuns and a Stun DMG multiplier. Bangboo: Safety (2+ Belobog Agents, extra bonus on Shocked targets) or Plugboo.

Shock: Grace & Rina

Game8's premium team: an all-Electric squad where Rina's PEN Ratio and Shock duration boost both Grace and Anton. Bangboo: Plugboo (2+ Electric Agents) or Safety.

Budget: Anby & Nicole

A free team: Anby is Electric (Additional Ability) and applies some Shock, Nicole shreds DEF. Bangboo: Electroboo or Plugboo.

Guide

How to play

Burst Mode

  • His EX Special Attack (Smash the Horizon, Bro!) puts him in Burst Mode: his Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, Quick Assist and Special turn into powerful Electric Drill and Piledriver attacks. Burst Mode drains Energy on every hit and ends when he's empty.
  • Core Passive: Piledriver attacks deal +24% DMG and Drill attacks +40%. In Burst Mode, hold Basic during the 2nd (Drill) and 3rd (Piledriver) hits to extend them.
  • Enter Burst Mode with as much Energy as possible, ideally right as a Stun starts.

Shock synergy

  • Additional Ability (a teammate sharing his Electric attribute or the Belobog Heavy Industries faction): in Burst Mode, every 4 critical hits make his next hit on a Shocked enemy deal an extra 45% of the Shock DMG (once every 0.5s).
  • Apply Shock first (Grace, Anby, Qingyi or his own hits), then burst. High CRIT Rate means more re-triggers.

Tips

  • His Quick Assist in Burst Mode has a very high multiplier: Astra Yao's Quick Assists are great with him.
  • Outside Burst Mode he's weak: spend that time building Energy with Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters, or swap out.

Strengths

  • Unique Shock re-trigger mechanic with a high ceiling for an A-Rank.
  • Strong Mindscapes: M1 extends Burst Mode, M4 gives the whole squad CRIT Rate.
  • Straightforward on-field playstyle.

Weaknesses

  • A big part of his damage needs enemies to stay Shocked.
  • Extremely Energy-hungry, and weak outside Burst Mode.
  • His best teams rely on S-Rank Electric Agents, and newer DPS outclass him.
