Recommended teams
Not a priority to invest in: Anton is an early A-rank Electric DPS with a fun playstyle, but his damage and convenience fall far behind newer Electric DPS like Harumasa or Soldier 0. Only invest if you love the drill theme or need a budget filler for a Shock team; skip him if you already own an S-rank Electric DPS.
HarumasaRole Ranking
The list below is pulled straight from the overall Tier List, keeping only the 16 agents who share the Attack role. Order within each tier is NOT a strength ranking — it simply groups agents by their original tier.
Stat targets
Reference Level 60 targets (per mobalytics): ATK 2,400+ / Crit Rate 70%+ / Crit DMG 130%+; in Shock teams aim for roughly a 70/140 crit pair before piling on ATK%. The key point is NOT one hard number but keeping Crit Rate high enough that Burst Mode Basic Attacks crit consistently (only every 4th crit retriggers Shock), while carrying enough Energy Regen to avoid falling out of Burst mid-rotation — Anton is one of the most Energy-hungry agents in the game (/mobalytics). Substat priority: Crit Rate = Crit DMG > PEN > ATK% > flat ATK; slot 6 takes ATK% or Energy Regen depending on whether the team already supplies enough energy.
Rotation & combos
1) OPENER / WAIT FOR SHOCK: let the partner (Grace/Rina, or Anby-Nicole) apply Shock first — Anton only shines against already-Shocked enemies. 2) ENTER BURST MODE: hold EX Special to send Anton into Burst Mode, the source of 90%+ of his damage. 3) DUMP IN BURST: chain Basic Attacks + Drill/Piledriver; every 4 crit Basics on a Shocked enemy retriggers Shock, snowballing Electric damage. 4) MANAGE ENERGY: weave EX/Drill to refill (M1 makes this far smoother) so you don't drop out of Burst mid-combo. 5) ULT/CHAIN: slot the Chain or Ultimate when available (M4 gives the whole team +Crit), then swap out for the partner to re-apply Shock and loop from step 2.
- Unique Shock retrigger: in Burst Mode, every 4 crit Basics on a Shocked enemy detonates another Shock — with a well-built Shock team the Electric damage stacks up thick.
- Very cheap and accessible: an A-rank that drops from the standard banner, and his A-rank signature Drill Rig – Red Axis means F2P can assemble a low-cost Electric Shock team that still functions.
- Fun, punchy drill-themed playstyle: once in Burst Mode you just plant and unload — easy for newcomers who enjoy a stand-and-spam stationary DPS.
- Among the most Energy-hungry agents: almost all his damage is locked behind Burst Mode, which drains Energy constantly — without M1 or an energy source he falls out of Burst and output becomes inconsistent.
- Dependent on enemies being Shocked: outside Burst and against non-Shocked foes he is notably weak — he must be paired with a Shock applier (Grace/Rina), limiting flexibility.
- Low, dated ceiling: an early A-rank Electric DPS whose damage and convenience both trail far behind Harumasa / Soldier 0 — not worth prioritizing if you already own an S-rank Electric DPS.

Endgame mode fit
Usable in Shiyu Defense but only decent: Anton is a stationary single-target DPS, best on the half with a single boss where he can camp Burst Mode and unload. He needs a safe stand-still window (a Grace/Rina Shock team, or a Stunner) to avoid combo interruption. His scoring ceiling is below newer S-rank Electric DPS, so treat him as an F2P gap-filler rather than an optimal pick.
In Deadly Assault Anton is weaker: the mode favors AoE / anomaly pile-up against multiple high-HP foes, whereas Anton is single-target and needs ramp time to build Burst — he usually scores below wide-hitting DPS/Anomaly units. If forced to use him, run a full Shock team (Grace + Rina) to keep Shock present, pick a stage with a single big-HP boss, and maximize Burst Mode uptime. Recommendation confidence: MEDIUM — Anton's guides are seldom updated and he rarely makes optimal Deadly Assault lineups.

Mindscapes — how far is worth it?
When Drill Attack hits an enemy, Anton gains additional Energy, up to a maximum of 5 Energy per skill use. "Are you awake? Get spinning, bro!" "Try and keep up. It's time to do our stretches!"
When Anton uses his EX Special Attack and enters Burst Mode, he gains a Shield that equals to 7.5% of his max HP. While in Burst Mode, entering combat or switching in reapplies the Shield effect. This effect can trigger once every 15s. The Shield dissipates when Burst Mode ends. After arduous training, a few lucky individuals will display exceptional vigor and perform above their usual level during high-intensity activities, entering a state of flow commonly known as "being in the zone." Are you ready to get moving and enter the zone? — Nitro-Fuel's exclusive program "Good Morning, Zealous Office Workers!"
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Knowing a bit of everything may seem underwhelming, but in a complex and ever-changing Hollow worksite, having a wide skillset can present an opportunity to overcome difficulties.
When Anton uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, all squad members' CRIT Rate increases by 10% for 12s. "Find your rhythm, and let's get moving!" When Anton starts to get serious, everyone becomes more nimble. They have to keep up or else they will be training alone the next day.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Knowing a bit of everything may seem underwhelming, but if you are resolute enough to change from "knowing a bit" to "being excellent," then you become omnipotent!
When Anton's Piledriver Attack triggers a critical hit, his Basic Attack: Enthusiastic Drills (Burst Mode) and Dodge Counter: Overload Drill (Burst Mode) deal 4% more DMG for 30s, stacking up to 6 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration. "Yeah bro, can you feel the burn?" Whenever Anton wants to exceed his limits, his "bro" starts spinning at an astonishing pace, its buzzing echoing Anton's resolution.

How to read this build page
Every Agent build page has 4 parts: a stat table by level, W-Engine/Drive Disc suggestions, a Mindscape roadmap, and recommended teams. Read them in that order — stats tell you "what you need", gear tells you "where to get it", Mindscape tells you "is it worth pulling", teams tell you "who to pair with". The section below explains how to read each part, and it applies the same way to every character on the site.
How to read the stat table and level
The stat table shows values at the ascension breakpoints (usually the final one, e.g. Lv60) — these are BASE stats with no gear added, useful for comparing Agents or checking whether you've ascended far enough. CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are shown separately because they set the damage ceiling once Drive Disc substats stack on top. If your real stats are lower than the table, you likely haven't fully ascended or leveled yet — it's not a build mistake.
Why the W-Engine and Drive Disc picks make sense
Most Agents have a "signature" W-Engine designed for their exact role, plus a few cheaper standard-banner substitutes. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most Agents keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, just short by some amount of total damage.
- Drive Disc sets (2pc + 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that Agent's playstyle (mono-element, Anomaly, stun, and so on).
- Substats follow a priority that changes by role: Attack-type Agents usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Anomaly-type Agents add Anomaly Proficiency to that mix; Stun/Support roles often value survivability or energy stats over pure CRIT.
These weights differ per character — follow the exact substat priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.
Is Mindscape worth chasing
General rule: M0 (no duplicates) already clears the game's hardest content, even for S-rank Agents. Mindscape is a duplicate-fueled upgrade system, and each level costs more resources for a smaller power gain. For most Agents, the best value stop is usually M1–M2 (where some key effects unlock), while M6 is almost always for players chasing the absolute ceiling, not a requirement. Check the Mindscape section in the table above for that specific Agent's numbers.
Skill priority by role
There's no single order for every Agent, but the general pattern by role is:
- Attack: level the main damage skill first (Basic or Special Attack depending on kit), Dash/Dodge last.
- Stun: prioritize whichever skill builds Daze/Stun fastest, since the stun window is where the whole team dumps damage.
- Support: prioritize buff or energy-generating skills over personal damage — this role's value comes from lifting the whole team.
- Anomaly: prioritize the skill that stacks anomaly buildup, since most of the damage comes from the triggered effect, not the direct hit.
Always level the Core Skill steadily alongside the rest — it's a baseline stat that affects the whole rotation, not just one move.
Where to dig deeper
This section only teaches you how to read the page — for deeper comparisons, use the dedicated tools:

- Teams for full in-game comps, including Bangboo and rotation order.
- Disc score to check how your current gear scores against the benchmark.

Anton FAQ
What is the best W-Engine for Anton?
Anton performs best with Severed Innocence. See alternatives and required stats in the Gear section above.
Is Anton worth pulling?
Not a priority to invest in: Anton is an early A-rank Electric DPS with a fun playstyle, but his damage and convenience fall far behind newer Electric DPS like Harumasa or Soldier 0. Only invest if you love the drill theme or need a budget filler for a Shock team; skip him if you already own an S-rank Electric DPS.
What is the best team for Anton?
Anton works best in the Electric Shock team. Full members and rotation are in the Teams section.
Who voices Anton in Zenless Zone Zero?
Anton (faction Belobog Heavy Industries, birthday May 2) is voiced according to the official credits published on the HoYoverse Wiki. See the full English/Japanese/Korean/Chinese voice actor list in the "Voice Actors & Character Info" block above — this data is pulled directly from the official wiki, not guessed.
Which Mindscape of Anton is worth investing in?
Anton has 6 Mindscape tiers (M1-M6), each unlocking its own effect detailed in the "Mindscape" block above (official wording). Mindscapes cost Mindscape Cinema currency farmed from limited banners, so weigh it against your budget — F2P players usually stop at M0-M1 and prioritize W-Engine and Drive Discs before pushing Mindscape higher.
How much Denny and how many materials to level Anton to Lv60?
Leveling Anton to max Lv60 (ascension + basic skills to 12 + core skill A→F) costs roughly 1,706,000 Denny, plus role-specific ascension materials, attribute-specific skill chips, high-dimensional data, and weekly boss drops — see the full list with exact quantities in the "Materials Needed" block above, sourced from the game's official leveling tables.
