As a free stunner, almost everyone has Anby, and she still works fine for learning the game or filling a slot in an Electric team. That said, S-rank stunners like 
Qingyi, Trigger, 
Lighter, and 
Lycaon have surpassed her in stun speed and buffs. Not worth burning resources on if you own an S-rank stunner; just keep her playable and that's enough.
There is no widely-published exact stat number specifically for Anby (she is a free stunner and guides rarely cite hard targets), so treat these as QUALITATIVE goals: maximize Impact to build Daze fast — the 4pc Shockstar Disco (+6% Impact & +20% Daze) is the core. Keep enough Energy to fire EX Special on cooldown (a 2pc Swing Jazz gives +20% Energy Regen). CRIT only lets her chip in some damage and is not the focus. Stat priority: Impact > Energy Regen > ATK% > CRIT. Only if you build a damage-leaning M6 should you push the CRIT/Electric DMG line.
1) OPENER: enter and use Basic Attacks to build energy. 2) Core combo: 3 Basics → HOLD Basic to release Thunderbolt for a big chunk of Daze. 3) Fire EX Special (her strongest Daze move) the moment it's off cooldown. 4) When the Daze bar fills → Chain Attack to open the stun window, then QUICK-SWAP to your DPS to finish. 5) Park Anby off-field while the DPS works; when stun ends, swap back and repeat from step 2. Tip: time Ultimate/Chain well to (with M4) feed energy to your Electric DPS.
"Rapid Charge Mode": the 4th Basic Attack hit grants +12% Energy Regen for 30s. For a stunner, energy = number of EX Specials = Daze speed, so this is her most worthwhile QoL cinema. the community recommends M1+M2 as the F2P stopping point.
"Precision Charge": Basic Attack Thunderbolt deals +30% DMG to a Stunned enemy; EX Special inflicts +10% Daze on a not-yet-Stunned enemy. That +10% Daze is the real prize — it stuns faster, which is her whole job. Together with M1 these are her two best cinemas to pull.
All skills +2 levels. A flat bump with no gameplay change — a stepping stone to M4, low value.
"Conducting Charge": on Chain Attack or Ultimate, off-field Electric agents recover 3 Energy (+2 per 12% Energy Rate Anby has, up to 6). Great in mono-Electric teams (feeds a DPS like Harumasa/Soldier 0) but dead weight outside them — team-dependent value.
All skills +2 levels again. Still just flat numbers, a bridge to M6 — low value.
"Charging Field": each EX Special grants 8 Charge stacks; every Basic/Dash Attack consumes 1 stack for +45% DMG on that hit. Her biggest personal-damage jump, turning Anby into a stunner with genuinely respectable damage. But she is a free agent whose personal damage is secondary — aim for this only with spare resources (whale-tier).
- A FREE agent from the very start: nearly everyone owns her, costs no pulls, and works right away to learn the stunner role.
- Extremely simple: easy combo, no fiddly mechanics, point-and-Daze — great for beginners and low-effort players.
- Reliable Daze output plus surprisingly decent personal damage for a stunner, especially once at M6.
- A cheap Electric-team enabler: pairs smoothly with Harumasa/Soldier 0/Rina, and with M4 even feeds energy to the Electric DPS.
- Power-crept: S-rank stunners like Qingyi, Trigger, Lighter and Lycaon stun faster and buff the team far more.
- Almost no team buffs: she only Dazes and doesn't grant Crit DMG/damage to the DPS the way premium stunners do.
- Energy-dependent: her Daze uptime hinges on EX Special, so slow energy regen leaves gaps in the stun cadence.
A serviceable early/mid pick in Shiyu Defense: Anby stuns fast enough to open windows for an Electric DPS to clear one side. In the hardest floors her lack of team buffs drags the score versus a Qingyi/Trigger team — fine for F2P, but swap her out if you own an S-rank stunner.
In Deadly Assault — which needs 3 teams — Anby is a valuable filler: slot her into a third Electric team so you don't have to stack all your good stunners on one squad. Not a top scorer, but she lets F2P players field all three lineups.

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.
