See the IV Checker for All Units

Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a story hero obtained by all players in the beginning of the game, Anna will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

Base Stats

We recommend base stats for your Anna. She has a lot of weak stats so the bane would not be worth the boon in most situations. This is because Anna currently has no access to merges so there is no way to eliminate her bane.

Anna Best Builds

(User Submitted) Double Attacking Anna

： Deck Swabber+ ： Reposition ： Galeforce ： -

： Atk/Spd Solo 4 ： Null Follow-Up 3 ： Atk Smoke 3 ： Flashing Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Deck Swabber+'s +Spd refine will bump Anna's spd even further to proc instances of Flashing Blade for her special. It also gives her room to attack without worrying about an enemy unit counter attacking her.

Pure Damage Sorcery Blade Anna

HOT
： Nóatún ： Reposition ： Blue Flame ： -	： Death Blow 4 ： Wrath 3 ： Panic Smoke 3 ： Sorcery Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This uses Sorcery Blade 3 in the skill slot. Anna cannot play the stat game as she has low BST. To combat that, we instead rely on pure damage to allow her to deal lots of damage. Nóatún allows her to warp to allies so she would not have problems scoring Sorcery Blade and Blue Flame procs. Wrath 3 speeds-up Blue Flame activations. If Wrath and Blue Flame lands on an opponent, up to 35 pure damage can be dealt. If the foe is susceptible to Sorcery Blade's adaptive damage, then Anna might be able to K.O. the opponent!

Ninja Masakari Arena Anna

HOT
： Ninja Masakari+ ： Rally Atk/Spd+ ： Ruptured Sky ： -	： G Duel Infantry 4 ： Lull Spd/Def 3 ： Joint Drive Spd ： Flashing Blade 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a build designed to give Anna the most points in Arena. G Duel Infantry will improve her scoring. Ninja Masakari improves her burst potential, while Lull Spd/Def 3 will help her trigger Flashing Blade 3, and subsequently, Ruptured Sky a lot faster.

Ganglöt Imitation Anna

HOT
： Arcane Downfall ： Reposition ： Iceberg ： -	： Distant Stance ： Quick Riposte 4 ： Joint Dist. Guard ： Atk/Res Ideal 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Anna makes good use of Ganglöt's base kit, with Arcane Downfall being significantly better than any other weapon Anna can wield. Her above average Res can be used to check magic users.

Anna Best Weapon Refine

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Nóatún	SP: 400
Might: 16　Range: 1　HP: +3 If unit’s HP ≤ 50%, unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally. If unit’s HP ≥ 50%, unit can move to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces. ：500　：200

We Recommend the Special Effect Upgrade!

We recommend refining Anna's weapon Nóatún with the special effect upgrade. Doing so will allow her to warp to any space adjacent to an ally if her HP is equal or less than 50%. If her HP is atleast 50% or above, she gets a less powerful but still useful ability in being able to warp to a space adjacent to any ally within 2 spaces. This up many new battle possibilities, so be sure to prioritize this upgrade if you use Anna a lot.

Anna Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Anna Roles

Anna - Commander Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Anna is a close ranged physical attack phase unit. Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def. Additionally, her exclusive weapon skill allows her to warp to an adjacent space of one her allies when her HP gets low.

Anna's Strengths

Can warp to allies!

Anna's weapon, Nóatún, allows her to warp to allies depending on the amount of HP she has.

If she has HP ≤ 50%, she can warp to a space adjacent to any ally no matter where they are in the map.

If she has HP ≥ 50%, she can warp to a space adjacent to an ally within 2 spaces.

This opens up different strategies, as she can either retreat to the safety of an ally when she has low health or pull of a surprise attack on an enemy unit.

Learns the Powerful B Skill Vantage

Her B slot skill, Vantage, is an excellent passive skill.

It allows her to counterattack a foe first before they can make their attack (when a counterattack is possible), which means that an enemy attacking Anna can lead to their own speedy defeat.

Annas Weaknesses

Weak to Physical Attacks

Anna's weakness lies in her low Def stat. The counterattacks of close-physical attacks can often inflict lethal damage on her, so you must watch out for heavy hitters.

No merges available

As Anna does not appear in any summons, it is impossible to obtain duplicates for merging. This means there is no possible way to increase her base stats.

Should you Unlock Potential?

Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero?

We Recommend Unlocking Potential for Anna - Commander!

We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Anna - Commander from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Anna - Commander is very useful as a axe attack phase, so you may find using Unlock Potential on Anna - Commander helpful if your team lacks a party member with this role.

Anna as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	-

Anna is one of the story protagonists, so she cannot be used as a source hero. However, Anna is often required for specific Quests & Missions or used as for bonus Arena points, so we recommend building her so that she can do well in combat.
