Antal is an Electric Supporter who specializes in providing Electric and Heat-based utility to the team. He increases ally Electric and Heat DMG, as well as apply Susceptibility to both elements. While powerful, this limits Antal to Heat and Electric teams.
Antal provides further buffs to the team by adding another stack of Physical Status and Arts Inflictions with his Combo Skill, as well as providing minor healing through his Talent.

How to Play Antal
As a Teammate
Antal supports the team by applying a debuff with a long duration on a single enemy via Battle Skill, and by buffing his teammates with his Ultimate.
You get the most damage by using his talents in this order:
Lock-on Before Using with Battle Skill
Antal's Battle Skill applies Focus, inflicing one enemy with Electric and Heat Susceptibility. Use lock-on to ensure this debuff lands on the desired target.
Buff Allies with Ultimate
Casting Antal's ultimate buffs the team with Electric Amp and Heat Amp. This can be used either at the start of the rotation, or when the hypercarry is about to deal the bulk of its damage, such as Laevatain in ultimate.
Antal's Skills and Talent Priority
Skills Priority
| Priority | Skill | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ultimate | Provides a team-wide Electric and Heat Amp to boost everyone's damage. Level this first to increase the buff's strength. |
| 2 | Battle Skill | Antal's most consistent form of utility. Level this in conjunction with Ultimate to increase the applied Susceptibility. |
| 3 | Combo Skill | Antal is more suited to a supporting role rather than dealing damage, so level this only if you see fit. |
| 4 | Basic Attack | Similarly, Antal is likely not getting use out of his Basic Attacks. Invest in this only after his Battle Skill and Ultimate. |
Talents Priority
| Priority | Talent | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Improviser | Provides more utility to the team via bursts of healing if they deal skill DMG while buffed by Antal's Ultimate. Level this talent first. |
| 2 | Subconscious Act | Makes Antal himself more durable in combat. Level this after other priority Skills and Talents. |

Who is Antal? (Lore)
Member of Op Team Z7
Clever, but blunt, Antal is a member of Endfield Operations Team Z7. A Supporter who specializes in Originium Technology, he is constantly on the lookout for chances to test his orbiters and their modifications.
It's been stated that Antal is not the best at reading people. Despite his notable intellect and affinity for technology, he has, on occassion, left his team embarrassed by letting loose a misplaced comment or two.
Likely 12F From Arknights
Antal looks very similar to 12F, another Savra character from Arknights. It is currently unknown if these are the same character, related, or entirely separate people.
