Anton Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Has high damage potential during Burst Mode where he can retrigger Shock
• Core Skill increases his Skill's DMG depending on the attack type
Weaknesses
• Most of his damage potential is tied to his Burst Mode and triggering Shock, making him lose value in non-Shock teams
• Needs to have his Energy topped up since his damage relies heavily on Burst Mode
• Needs to have a high CRIT Rate as his attacks need to crit in Burst Mode

Anton is an Electric, Attack character who acts as the team's main DPS. His kit allows him to trigger Shock for additional damage during his Burst Mode and can increase his Special Skill's damage.

This build maximizes Anton's damage output during Burst Mode and the damage of his Shock triggers. Since he will be hitting Shocked enemies, he can easily gain and utilize the big ATK buff the Disc set provides to do immense damage during Burst Mode.

Make sure Anton also has enough CRIT Rate since his attacks need to crit during Burst Mode.

All W-Engine (Weapon) Guides

Severed Innocence is the Best for Anton

Severed Innocence is Soldier 0 Anby's signature W-Engine and Anton's current best-in-slot W-Engine. It provides a lot of CRIT DMG and Electric DMG when it has max. stacks.

ZZZ - Swing JazzSwing Jazz
(2-pc) 		★★★ - Best Set!
Dawn's Bloom increases the damage of Anton's Basic Attacks. This effect becomes even more potent after he uses an EX Special Attack or Ultimate. 2-piece Swing Jazz is great to pair with this since Anton needs the Energy Regen so he can activate his Burst Mode more often.
ZZZ - Hormone PunkHormone Punk

ZZZ - Swing JazzSwing Jazz
(2-pc) 		★★☆ - 2nd Best
Hormone Punk also works well with Anton since it gives him a lot of ATK upon switching in. This will increase the damage he deals during Burst Mode and the damage of his Shock triggers. 2-piece Swing Jazz works great here also since it gives him Energy Regen which allows him to enter Burst Mode more often.

Anton Skill Priority

Skill Priority Explanation
Zenless Zone Zero - Core Skill IconCore Skill ★★★★☆ Anton's Core Passive increases the DMG of his Special Attack when he uses it. Though leveling this up does not increase the damage of his Shock triggers, it can increase Anton's CRIT Rate permanently so upgrade this whenever you can.
Zenless Zone Zero - Basic AttackBasic Attack ★★★★★ Anton's Basic Attacks are his consistent source of damage during Burst Mode, so max this Skill out first.
Zenless Zone Zero - DodgeDodge ★★☆☆☆ Anton's Dodge Skills allow him to do some damage in and out of his Burst Mode, but it's less of a priority than his Basic Attack and Special Attack so leave it for last.
Zenless Zone Zero - AssistAssist ★★☆☆☆ Anton's Assist Skills deal some damage, but it's less of a priority than her Basic Attack and Special Attack.
Zenless Zone Zero - Special AttackSpecial Attack ★★★★★ Anton's Burst Mode is tied to his EX Special Attack and his Special Attack during it deals a good amount of damage, so max this out along with his Basic Attack.
Zenless Zone Zero - Chain AttackChain Attack ★★★☆☆ Anton's Chain Attack and Ultimate deal good damage, but are not used as frequently as his Basic Attack and Special Attack so it has a lower priority.

Most of Anton's damage will come from his Basic Attack and Special Attack so upgrade those first. When you have extra materials, upgrade his Chain Attack as well. Lastly, upgrade his Core Skill whenever you are able as it will provide really great passive effects.

How to Play Anton

Special Attack Easily Inflicts Electric Damage

Anton's Special Attack and EX Special Attack inflict a lot of Electric Damage and can easily trigger Shock on enemies, so use them for consistent damage.

This synergizes well with Anton's Core Skill since it increases the damage of his Drill and Piledriver Skills. Also, holding EX Special Attack will make Anton enter Burst Mode which makes his attacks more powerful at the cost of Energy.

Use Basic Attacks During Burst Mode

Anton's Burst Mode is where the majority of his damage comes from. Not only does it make his attacks more powerful Electric DMG, but it also allows him to retrigger Shock when he hits Shocked enemies for every four crits of his Basic Attack.

This effect makes Anton's damage during Burst Mode so potent, so keep using Basic Attacks so his Burst Mode won't be wasted.

Stay in Burst Mode Indefinitely

When in Burst Mode, Anton can have a way to stay in that mode infinitely without running out of Energy. Take note that Anton's Cinema 1 (C1) is required for this to work.

Steps for Infinite Burst Mode

1 Enter Burst Mode using Anton's EX Special Attack. This is important.
2 Execute three Basic Attack sequences against enemies.
3 When Anton's energy is about to run out, make sure to only make the 3rd hit count. Purposefully miss the first two attacks.
4 You can do this infinitely as long as you don't hit the enemy with your 2nd hit or miss the 3rd hit.

How Does This Work?

This works because Anton's C1 provides energy generation by hitting enemies. If we purposefully miss and only hit the third attack, it will charge Anton's energy gauge enough for the next sequence to still be in Burst Mode.

This may take practice for you to perfectly execute as it requires pin point accuracy. Hitting enemies with the second hit charges the gauge but immediately uses it on the third hit so the next sequence will not be in Burst Mode. Missing the third hit altogether does not charge the gauge at all making Anton leave Burst Mode.

Combo Shock With Burst Mode

Shock Into Burst Mode Combo
Trigger Shock → Chain Attack Into Anton → Hold EX Special Attack (Burst Mode) → Press Basic Attacks Repeatedly

Since Anton's Burst Mode continuously depletes his Energy, it is best to use it when the enemy is already in Shock to maximize its damage potential. Inflict Shock on the enemy first using Anton or an Electric Anomaly character like Grace before using it.

If you're using another character to trigger Shock, you can Chain Attack into Anton after the enemy gets Stunned and enter Burst Mode to deal massive Electric and Shock damage.

Deal Massive Electric DMG With Ultimate

Anton's Ultimate deals massive Electric DMG, so if you need to burst down an enemy quickly you can use it to get the job done. This can synergize well with any Electric buffers like Rina since they increase Anton's overall damage.

Anton Mindscape Cinema (Duplicates)

Recommended Cinema

Why We Recommend It
M1 ★★★★★ - Amazing
This gives Anton whenever his Drill Attack hits an enemy. This is amazing because it will allow him to extend Burst Mode since his Energy won't deplete quickly with the additional Energy he gets. It also allows him to enter Burst Mode more frequently.
M2 ★★★☆☆ - Good
This gives Anton a Shield when he enters Burst Mode. It's good to have for increased survivability during Burst Mode but not a necessity.
M4 ★★★☆☆ - Good
This allows Anton to increase his team's CRIT Rate when he uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate. It's a good buff to have for the team, but not much of a necessity.
M6 ★★★★★ - Amazing
This increases the damage of Anton's Basic Attack and Dodge Counter during Burst Mode whenever his Piledriver Attack crits, which increases his damage immensely. The damage boost stacks as well.

M3 and M5 are excluded since they are only for skill enhancement.

Mindscape Cinema List and Effects

Cinema Effect

M3 Rotational Training
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
M4 Everyone Get Fired Up!
When Anton uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, all squad members' CRIT Rate increases by 10% for 12s.
M5 Jack of All Trades

M6 Break the Limit
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.

I did try using Jane's passion dash/dodge playstyle. Anton's dodge counter stance does deal more multiple drill damage very well! Just focus the enemy without pressing the spacebar, only dodge skill. Maxed Anton's dodge already. You wont regret it!

Also another thing to note: Anton needs to activate Burst mode by a Skill button to enable its drill attack. You can Perfect Dodge Electro attack the right way,
