Anby Overview

Anby is an A-Rank Electric Stun Agent and a member of the Cunning Hares who specialises in applying Daze to enemies in combat. She's also quite simple, as her gameplay only revolves around managing her Basic Attack string. After hitting the third Basic Attack, she can launch an enhanced Basic Attack (by pausing a bit before performing the fourth attack, or by holding down the Basic Attack input after the third attack) or Special Attack of both variants with an increased Daze output that scales on her Core Skill level, maxing out at 64% on level 7. Her Additional Core Ability is activated when she's paired with another Cunning Hares member or an Electric character; with it, she recovers additional Energy when performing a Dodge Counter.

Anby Skill Priority

Below are the best skill priorities for Anby:

Skill	Priority
Core Skill	★★★★★ (Top)
Basic Attack	★★★★ (Top)
Chain Attack	★★★ (High)
Special Attack	★★★★ (Top)
Dodge	★ (Low)
Assist	★ (Low)

Anby's Core Skill provides her with an amazing 64% bonus in Daze once maxed, making it highly prioritised. Following up, her Basic Attack and Special Attack should be upgraded, as their contribution to her overall Daze application stands as the highest among her kit. Chain Attack comes next, with its value just behind her top-priority skills. Lastly, you can upgrade her Dodge and Assist skill, while they can still provide situational value, their upgrades contribute the least to overall effectiveness.

Anby Best W-Engines

Being a Stun character who relies quite a lot on her EX Special to apply consistent Daze, Anby wants as much Impact and Energy Regen as possible. Although the two stats are only available from W-Engines and Slot 6, she's incredibly easy to build. For her W-Engine options, Hellfire Gears stands out as the best despite not being her Signature. We recommend you secure this W-Engine for maximum effectiveness.

Best choice
Hellfire Gears (S-Rank)	Base ATK: 684 Bonus Stat: Impact 18% W-Engine Effect (R1): While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/s. When using an EX Special Attack, the equipper's Impact is increased by 10% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Alternatives
The Restrained (S-Rank)	Base ATK: 684 Bonus Stat: Impact 18% W-Engine Effect (R1): When an attack hits an enemy, DMG and Daze from Basic Attacks increase by 6% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect can trigger at most once during each skill. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Demara Battery Mark II (A-Rank)	Base ATK: 624 Bonus Stat: Impact 15% W-Engine Effect (R5): Increases Electric DMG by 24%. When the equipper hits an enemy with Dodge Counter or Assist Attack, their Energy Generation Rate increases by 27.5% for 8s.
Steam Oven (A-Rank)	Base ATK: 594 Bonus Stat: Energy Regen 50% W-Engine Effect (R5): For every 10 Energy accumulated, the equipper's Impact is increased by 3.2%, stacking up to 8 times. After Energy is consumed, this bonus remains for 8 more seconds. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Precious Fossilized Core (A-Rank)	Base ATK: 594 Bonus Stat: Impact 15% W-Engine Effect (R5): When the target's HP is no lower than 50%, the equipper inflicts 16% more Daze. When the target's HP is no lower than 75%, this bonus is further enhanced by 16%.

Anby Best Drive Disk Sets

Anby is best suited for Drive Disk Sets that can provide buffs to her teamates due to the fact that she's purely for Daze application. Therefore, Sets like King of the Summit and Astral Voice will be the best 4-piece options for her. Moving on to her 2-piece Set, you can choose from King of the Summit, Shockstar Disco and Swing Jazz.

Best Choice
King of the Summit	Increases Daze of attacks by 6%. (2-piece) When 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. (4-piece)
Astral Voice	ATK +10%. (2-piece) Whenever 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%. Only one instance of this effect can exist in the same squad. (4-piece)
2-piece Choice
King of the Summit	Increases Daze of attacks by 6%. (2-piece)
Shockstar Disco	Increases Impact by 6%. (2-piece)
Swing Jazz	Energy Regen increases by 20%. (2-piece)

Anby Best Teams

Anby needs to be paired with another Cunning Hares member or a character of the Electric element in order to activate her Additional Core Ability, making it highly recommended to meet the requirement.

1. Anby Premium Teams

When it comes to Anby's premium teams, Electric Attack characters such as Seed, Harumasa, and Cissia work best with her. For the 3rd member, you should prioritise those who complement your main DPS most, like Ophie & Magus and Astra Yao in this case.

2. Anby Free To Play Team

Due to Anby's strict requirement for her Additional Core Skill, it's a bit difficult to create a team with all three squad members having their Additional Skill. Nonetheless, the exemplary teams below can do just that.

Anby Mindscape Cinema

M1: Rapid Charge Mode

Rating: ★★★★ (Great)
Effect: When the 4th-hit of Anby's Basic Attack hits an enemy, her Energy Generation Rate is increased by 12% for 30s.
This Mindscape gives Anby a higher Energy generation rate in combat when completing her Basic Attack string. Additionally, the long effect duration makes it so that you don't have to pay much attention to keeping it active.

M2: Precision Discharge

Rating: ★★ (Good)
Effect: When Basic Attack: Thunderbolt hits a Stunned enemy, its DMG is increased by 30%. When Anby's EX Special Attack hits an enemy that is not Stunned, the Daze inflicted is increased by 10%.
The only notable thing about Anby's Mindscape 2 is the increased Daze from her EX Special, as the increased DMG on stunned enemies has almost no impact on her since you will be using your DPS rather than her to deal DMG during enemy stun windows.

M3: Well-Disciplined

Rating: ★★★ (Good)
Effect: Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
Although this Mindscape only offers numerical skill level increases, it gives Anby a considerable increase in her overall Daze application compared to her other Mindscapes.

M4: Conducting Charge

Rating: ★★★ (Good)
Effect: When Anby launches a Chain Attack or uses her Ultimate, off-field Electric Agents recover 3 Energy. For every 12% Energy Generation Anby Has, recover an additional 2 Energy, up to a maximum of 6.
This Mindscape is quite beneficial to both Anby and her teamates, though the team-wide effect is limited to only Electric characters, making it not as great in teams where you're not using Electric characters.

M5: Street Experience

Rating: ★★★ (Good)
Effect: Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
Identical to Anby's Mindscape 3, only offering numerical skill level increases but is a pretty good upgrade in practice.

M6: Charging Field

Rating: ★★★★★ (Best)
Effect: When Anby uses her EX Special Attack, she gains 8 stacks of Charge (max 8 stacks). When she hits an enemy with her Basic Attack or Dash Attack, 1 stack of Charge is consumed, increasing that attack's DMG by 45%.
This Mindscape offers the biggest increase in Anby's DPS, though bear in mind her overall Daze output remains the same.

Conclusion

Overall, Anby is a decent Stun Agent in Zenless Zone Zero. Despite struggling a bit in the current meta, when she's equipped with the right build and team setup, she can still get the job done. Besides, she's the mascot of the game. We hope this Anby guide can provide you with better knowledge of her strengths and help you maximize her effectiveness.
