Soldier 0 - Anby is an S-Rank Electric Attack Agent from the Defense Force's Silver Squad and the centerpiece of Aftershock teams. She charges a Silver Star mark on enemies, then chains Azure Flash dashes that trigger Aftershocks, while giving every Aftershock in the team extra CRIT DMG. With her Potential unlocked and Trigger and Orphie & Magus at her side, she's rated T1 on Prydwen and Tier 1+ on Game8, and players who didn't claim the 3.1 anniversary selector can pick her for free in the Beginner Guide.

Teams

Recommended teams

Aftershock: Orphie & Trigger

Her best and most used team (about 5% of teams in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault). Trigger stuns and debuffs from off-field, Orphie & Magus add Aftershocks, ATK buffs and DEF ignore. Bangboo: Mercury, whose Active Skill gains up to +90% DMG from Aftershocks with Defense Force Agents in the squad.

Double support: Trigger & Astra Yao

Soldier 0 - Anby
Trigger
Astra Yao

Her second most used team. Astra Yao adds DMG, CRIT DMG, flat ATK and Quick Assists with almost no field time, leaving Anby the field. Bangboo: Mercury.

Budget: Pulchra & Nicole

Soldier 0 - Anby
Pulchra
Nicole

Two A-Ranks. Pulchra stuns from off-field with Aftershocks and her Binding Trap gives +30% Aftershock DMG without any Mindscape; Nicole shreds DEF. Bangboo: Mercury.

Guide

How to play

Silver Star and White Thunder

  • Her attacks charge a Silver Star mark on the enemy. Each third of charge gives 1 stack of White Thunder (3 max). Her EX Special Attack and Ultimate fill the mark in one go, and Dodge Counters refill about half of it.
  • With White Thunder on the target, her Special becomes Azure Flash: each hit consumes a stack to trigger an extra Electric Aftershock. Three triggers on the same enemy call down Thunder Smite, followed by Azure Flash - Boundary (Potential), another Aftershock.
  • With her Potential, teammates' Aftershocks also charge Silver Star (once every 5s): off-field Aftershock Agents like Trigger and Orphie & Magus are her ideal partners.

Buffs

  • Core Passive: +25% DMG against Silver Star targets, and Aftershocks against them gain CRIT DMG equal to 30% of her own CRIT DMG (35% with her Potential). That's why she stacks so much CRIT DMG.
  • Additional Ability (a Stun or Support teammate): +10% CRIT Rate, her Chain Attack and Ultimate count as Aftershocks (with her Potential), and while she's the active Agent, the whole squad's Aftershocks deal +25% DMG to Silver Star targets.

Potential

Silver Heart I, unlocked with Potential Silhouettes from the Potential Archive, reworks her kit: her 3rd Basic Attack hit pulls enemies in, her Dodge Counter grants Voltage Overload for 15s (cancel Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters into Azure Flash, or cast her EX Special with a single press), and Azure Flash - Boundary is added. Levels II–VI raise her Additional Ability's Aftershock bonus from 34% to 50%. Prydwen's T1 rating assumes the full P6.

Stun combo

Chain Attack → cancel → Azure Flash ×3 (+ Boundary) → Ultimate → Azure Flash ×3 → EX Special → Azure Flash ×3 (+ Boundary). Enter each Stun with at least 60 Energy (120 for a double EX version) and a well-charged Silver Star mark. With Trigger, let her Chain Attack go first to apply King of the Summit.

Strengths

  • One of the best Electric DPS, with a high skill ceiling (Perfect Dodges, optimized Stun combos).
  • Buffs every Aftershock in the team: great synergy with Trigger, Orphie & Magus and Pulchra.
  • Free pick in the Beginner Guide (with Jane and Hugo) if you skipped the 3.1 anniversary selector, which also offers Severed Innocence as an S-Rank W-Engine choice.
  • Several team options that perform close to each other.

Weaknesses

  • Relies on Dodge Counters: weaker against passive enemies that rarely attack.
  • Wants off-field Aftershock teammates (Trigger, Orphie & Magus) to perform at her best.
  • Few good F2P W-Engines: her damage drops sharply without a premium option.
  • Her rated performance assumes a fully unlocked Potential.
