Fallen Anankos Skills at 5★

Silent Breath Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If foe initiates combat or foe's HP ≥ 75% at start of combat, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-X on foe (X = current bonus on each of foe's stats x 2; example: if foe has +7 bonus to Spd, inflicts Spd-14, for a net penalty of Spd-7; calculates each stat penalty independently), deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attacks by 7 during combat (for standard weapons, "first attacks" means only the first strike; for weapons that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res.

Noontime Cooldown Count = 2 Restores HP = 30% of damage dealt.

Kestrel Stance 3 If foe initiates combat, grants Atk/Spd +6 during combat and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

Savvy Fighter 4 If foe initiates combat, inflicts Atk/Spd-4 on foe and neutralizes effects that guarantee foe's follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit's follow-up attacks during combat, and also, if unit's Spd > foe's Spd-10, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 40% during combat. (For standard weapons, "first attack" means only the first strike; for weapons that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes.)

A/S Near Save 3 If a foe uses sword, lance, axe, breath, or beast damage & initiates combat against an ally within 2 spaces of unit, triggers 【Savior】 on unit. If Savior triggers, grants Atk/Spd+4 during combat. 【Savior】 Unit takes ally’s space, enters combat in ally’s place, and receives all after-combat effects. Doesn't trigger if ally is on terrain that unit can't move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects don't occur.

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (10)		★★★★☆

Def (10)		★★★☆☆
Res (7)		★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

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.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Fallen Anankos are +Spd and -Res. Spd is a superboon and raises Anankos's base Spd from 44 to 48. Fallen Anankos is reliant on his high Spd, especially with Savvy Fighter 4.

Anankos's defensive stats are all quite high. We recommend -Res as his bane due to his status as a Near Save unit.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Fallen Anankos up to +10. Spd is his most important stat and it should be boosted as much as possible.

Fallen Anankos Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Fallen Anankos Roles

Anankos - Seething Silence 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

Fallen Anankos is a close magic attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Fallen Anankos Strengths

Fallen Anankos is a great Spd-based Tank

Fallen Anankos is a straight-forward unit that focuses mostly on inflicting penalties, damage reductions while granting himself stat bonuses. Silent Breath helps him inflict massive debuffs on foes, effectively reversing the numbers to gain the upperhand against foes.

Additionally, Fallen Anankos has Savvy Fighter 4 which further helps him inflict more Atk/Spd penalties onto foes during enemy-phase combats. It also helps him with his follow-up attacks as it negates any effects that prevent him from making one. This skill is also one of his sources of damage reduction as it can effectively reduce foe's first attack by 40% during combat.

Fallen Anankos Weaknesses

Weak to Armor Effective Weapons

Fallen Anankos takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Slaying Hammer+, Randgríðr, or Thani, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Fallen Anankos takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Sealed Falchion or Divine Mist, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
