Very much worth building and pulling: she's still one of the strongest Anomaly DPS around, easy and smooth to play. Her strengths are high uptime and reliable Assault burst; her weaknesses are needing to hit an AP threshold before she fully takes off, and a fair reliance on an enabler (
Seth) to stay safe during long on-field stretches.
Level 60 targets (per prydwen): ATK 2,300–2,800+ / HP 9,000–10,000+ / DEF 800+ / Anomaly Proficiency 375–420+ IN COMBAT / Anomaly Mastery 192+. Key AP thresholds: above 120 AP she starts converting +2 ATK per point; at 375 AP her Assault reaches 100% Crit Rate; at 420 AP she caps the +600 ATK bonus in Passion (per prydwen). No need to farm CRIT — Jane's crit comes from AP. Discs: 4 Anomaly Proficiency · 5 PEN Ratio% > Physical DMG% > ATK% · 6 Anomaly Mastery. Substats: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% > PEN = ATK.
1) OPENER: use Basic attacks and Perfect Dodge / Defensive Assist to fill Passion Stream → enter Passion (bar turns red). 2) IN PASSION: hold Basic to release Salchow Jump (an invulnerable spin, heavy anomaly, and it RESTORES Passion instead of consuming it). 3) Prioritize Perfect Dodges to land Dodge Counters — the highest daze and anomaly per second, and they restore Passion. 4) STUN WINDOW: use Chain Attack / Ultimate → Jane instantly enters Passion at full value, refreshing her Salchow charge → chain multiple Salchows back-to-back for burst. 5) Weave in EX Special when available (part of her best combos). 6) LOOP: keep Passion up and spam Assault; with a second Anomaly agent, trigger Disorder in between.
Adds 1 extra Salchow Jump charge (the spinning Hold-Basic move in Passion) — very useful with a Stunner to chain multiple Salchows in the stun window. In Passion, Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate +15% and each point of Anomaly Proficiency adds +0.1% damage (cap +30%). A solid output bump with no playstyle change.
The ideal cap if you chase mindscapes (~+45% dmg per game8): hitting a Gnawed enemy (or a squad member triggering Assault on a Gnawed enemy) ignores 15% of its DEF; and when Assault CRITs, its CRIT DMG is boosted by +50% (from the fixed 50% up to an effective ~180% value). STOP HERE (M2) if investing heavily — the Alice + Jane + Nicole team at M2+ is rated the strongest in the game by prydwen. F2P still plays M0 well; not mandatory.
All skills (Basic/Assist/Dodge/Special/Chain) +2 levels. Just a small flat bump with no gameplay change — low value, a stepping stone to M4.
When any squad member triggers Assault or Disorder, the whole team gains +18% Attribute Anomaly DMG for 15s. Handy in Disorder teams (Alice/Vivian) but a small bump for Jane herself — mostly a background buff, not worth pulling for on its own.
All skills +2 levels again. Still just flat numbers, a bridge to M6 — low value.
The whale-tier jump: in Passion +20% Crit Rate and +40% Crit DMG; after any squad member inflicts Assault, Jane INSTANTLY enters Passion with full Passion Stream (near-perfect uptime); on an Assault crit she fires an extra hit for 1,600% of her Anomaly Proficiency. Very strong but expensive — most stop at M0/M2, only those with spare resources aim for M6.
- Her anomaly can CRIT — a unique mechanic no other Anomaly had at release; and the crit scales straight from Anomaly Proficiency, so you never farm CRIT stats.
- Incredible mobility with 3 dashes; Perfect Dodge and Defensive Assist both dodge and refill Passion, making her very hard to hit and safe on-field.
- High uptime, strong both inside and outside burst windows; works as a sole DPS or in Disorder teams, giving great team-building flexibility.
- Revitalized by the new Anomaly roster (Alice, Vivian, Yuzuha) — her damage ceiling jumps sharply with the right partners despite being an early-release Agent.
- Very AP-hungry: needs ~375–420 Anomaly Proficiency to unlock full scaling (100% crit + ATK cap). Below that she loses a large chunk of damage — demanding disc RNG and farming.
- Reliant on player skill and field time: her power hinges on consistent Perfect Dodges / Dodge Counters; mobile enemies can make her Salchow combos miss hits.
- Not very flexible vs endgame buffs: if a mode's buffs (Shiyu/DA) don't favor Physical/Anomaly, Jane struggles more than many other characters (per prydwen).
Excellent in Shiyu Defense: rated T1 Anomaly DPS. Very strong single-target with Vivian (highest Assault scaling via Abloom, and she feeds Jane field time) + Yuzuha/Nicole; or the Alice + Jane + Nicole comp at M2+ that prydwen rates the strongest in the game. Constant Assault crits pile heavy burst in the stun window.
Also strong in Deadly Assault: shines with Physical Disorder teams (Alice) or Ice/Fire-Physical Disorder (Burnice) to pile anomaly on multiple high-HP foes, with high uptime for steady output. Note: if the DA rotation's buffs don't favor Physical/Anomaly, her score dips versus buff-aligned carries.
