The recommended agents for this W-Engine are arranged from most to least recommended.

Sharpened Stinger is an Anomaly W-Engine tailored for units who rely on Physical DMG, namely Jane and Piper. However, Dash Attacks are required to activate its Predatory Instinct stacks.

Grace may still be a viable option for Sharpened Stinger due to its huge Anomaly Buildup bonus.
