Breezeborne Refrain (R5) 112%

Viper's Ballad

Base ATK: 510

CRIT Rate: 27.6%

Increases Energy Recharge by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40%. When the equipping character hits the opponent with their Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, they gain a stack of "Hymn of the Pure." This effect can trigger once every 0.03s, max 3 stacks, and at 3 stacks, all instances of "Hymn of the Pure" are cleared to give the equipping character "Thus Lied the Viper" instead. This grants nearby party members a 24% / 30% / 36% / 42% / 48% Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG boost for 12s, during which no stacks of "Hymn of the Pure" can be obtained. The aforementioned effects can still trigger even when the equipping character is not on the field.

Fantastic weapon, providing a great teamwide buff along with good stats for Anastasya herself. This makes it better than even her own signature weapon, especially with refinements.
Elegy for the End (R1) 106%

The Parting Refrain

Base ATK: 608

Energy Recharge: 55.1%

A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" effect for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" increases Elemental Mastery by 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 and increases ATK by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.

Excellent weapon, providing enough Energy Recharge for Anastasya to use her Elemental Burst every rotation in most teams, while also giving her a strong teamwide buff. This makes it overall superior to her own signature weapon.

Best Artifacts for Anastasya

Heart of the Furnace 100%

Heart of the Furnace

2-Piece Set: ATK +18%.

4-Piece Set: Increases the equipping character's ATK by 12% for 12s when they trigger a Stellar Glimmer reaction or deal Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG. Also increases Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG dealt by all nearby party members by 50%. The above effects can trigger even when the equipping character is not on the field, and he DMG bonus from multiple Artifact Sets with the same name do not stack.

This set provides a fantastic teamwide buff, while also giving Anastasya 30 ATK% for her own damage. She should always use this set unless another character on the team is using it already.
Tenacity of the Millelith 100%

Tenacity of the Millelith

2-Piece Set: HP +20%

4-Piece Set: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased by 20% and their Shield Strength is increased by 30% for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field.

Since Anastasya has off-field hits from her Elemental Skill, she is able to use this set for additional buffing and maintain high uptime on it. This is a great option if Heart of the Furnace is already being used by someone else on the team.
Disenchantment in Deep Shadow 99%

Disenchantment in Deep Shadow

2-Piece Set: ATK +18%.

4-Piece Set: Increases Superconduct Reaction DMG by 80% and Stellar-Conduct Reaction DMG by 40%. When the wielder attacks opponents affected by Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct, this attack's CRIT Rate is increased by 16%.

Anastasya's best set for her own damage in Stellar-Conduct teams (this does not work in Stellar Swirl). She can use this if the buffing sets are already being used by other characters on the team.
Noblesse Oblige 97%

Noblesse Oblige

2-Piece Set: Elemental Burst DMG +20%

4-Piece Set: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack.

Since Anastasya wants to use her Elemental Burst every rotation, this is another good supportive set she can use, if the others are already being used by other characters on the team.
Disenchantment in Deep Shadow 100%

Disenchantment in Deep Shadow

2-Piece Set: ATK +18%.

4-Piece Set: Increases Superconduct Reaction DMG by 80% and Stellar-Conduct Reaction DMG by 40%. When the wielder attacks opponents affected by Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct, this attack's CRIT Rate is increased by 16%.

Provides great stats for Anastasya, and is her overall best set for her damage.
Epochal Advent 98%

Epochal Advent

2-Piece Set: ATK +18%.

4-Piece Set: The equipping character gains 1 Starspark when they use an Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, or perform a Normal Attack. Up to 2 Starsparks can be held at once. The equipping character gains Undying Radiance while holding at least 1 Starspark. This effect increases the CRIT Rate of their Cryo DMG by 20%, with an additional 20% CRIT Rate if that DMG is Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG. The equipping character loses 1 Starspark every 3s while on the field. Undying Radiance ends when all Starsparks are extinguished.

The massive amount of CRIT Rate this set provides is great for Anastasya's damage, allowing for more focus on CRIT DMG and ATK% substats. However, since she already ascends with CRIT Rate, it can be difficult to avoid overcapping on the stat, especially if your team has Cryo Resonance, or if using a CRIT Rate weapon like Breezeborne Refrain.
Gilded Dreams 93%

Gilded Dreams

2-Piece Set: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.

4-Piece Set: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each party member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and Elemental Mastery is increased by 50 for every party member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the aforementioned buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.

This can be a decent set to use if you don't yet have Disenchantment in Deep Shadow or Epochal Advent. However, this set requires triggering Elemental Reactions rather than dealing reaction damage, which can result in inconsistent uptime in some teams.
A Day Carved From Rising Winds 87%

A Day Carved From Rising Winds

2-Piece Set: ATK +18%.

4-Piece Set: After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, gain the Blessing of Pastoral Winds effect for 6s: ATK is increased by 25%. If the equipping character has completed Witch's Homework, Blessing of Pastoral Winds will be upgraded to Resolve of Pastoral Winds, which additionally increases the CRIT Rate of the equipping character by 20%. This effect can be triggered even when the character is off-field.

Although Anastasya can not get the CRIT Rate from this set, it still provides 43 ATK%, making it slightly better than 2pc mixed set options.

Anastasya's Stat Priority

Sands of Eon: Elemental Mastery / ATK % > Energy Recharge
Goblet of Eonothem: ATK % / Elemental Mastery
Circlet of Logos: CRIT > ATK % / Elemental Mastery
Substats: Energy Recharge > CRIT > ATK % / Elemental Mastery

Since Anastasya's damage scales primarily off of ATK, so it is best on her Sands and Goblet. However, depending on how much ATK she already has from other sources such as her weapon and team buffs, Elemental Mastery can be just as good if not slightly better. Generally, both ATK and Elemental Mastery are close enough to use whichever has better substats. Energy Recharge Sands can be used, but Anastasya will usually have enough from her weapon and/or substats. For the Circlet, CRIT is always best, but if she already has high CRIT value, an ATK or EM Circlet isn't too far behind.

Recommended Stats for Anastasya

Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Jade Vista. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.

HP: 17,000-20,000
ATK: 2200-2400
Elemental Mastery: 110-200
Energy Recharge: 145-165%
CRIT Rate: 75-90%
CRIT DMG: 140-165%

These numbers reflect Anastasya on Jade Vista and Heart of the Furnace in a team where she requires Energy Recharge to use her Elemental Burst every rotation. The listed stats reflect what you would see on the stat screen, before any buffs are applied. The exact amount of Energy Recharge needed can vary from team to team, but will generally be no higher than 165%.

Sands of Eon: ATK % / Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge
Goblet of Eonothem: ATK % / Elemental Mastery
Circlet of Logos: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK % / Elemental Mastery
Substats: Energy Recharge > CRIT > ATK / Elemental Mastery

Anastasya scales off of ATK, so it is best on the Sands and Goblet. However, if Anastasya already has a good amount of ATK overall in your team, Elemental Mastery performs identical, so you can use whichever piece has better substats. Energy Recharge Sands can be used if you can't feasibly reach Anastasya's Energy Requirements without it. CRIT is always best on the Circlet, but ATK or Elemental Mastery aren't too far behind and can be used until you get a CRIT piece.

Recommended Stats for Anastasya

Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Jade Vista. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.

HP: 17,000-20,000
ATK: 2300-2500
Elemental Mastery: 450-550
Energy Recharge: 140-150%
CRIT Rate: 70-85%
CRIT DMG: 140-165%

Anastasya's Talent Priority

Talent Priority: To the New World > Polestar's Divine Judgment >>> The Dawn Beyond the Everwinter

Most of Anastasya's damage and buffing comes from her Elemental Burst, so it should be leveled first. Her Elemental Skill is also a large portion of her damage, so it should be leveled next. Her Normal Attack talent is not an actively used part of her kit, and can be ignored.

How to Play Anastasya

As a support, Anastasya's main goal on the team is to provide consistent, long lasting off-field Cryo application, Stellar Glimmer reaction damage, and buffing. Her gameplay consists of casting her Elemental Skill and Burst, then swapping to the next character in the rotation. During her 20 second Elemental Burst duration, she will Seal herself, preventing you from swapping back to her until the Burst duration ends, or enough Stellar-Glimmer hits are dealt. When swapped back to after she is no longer Sealed, Anastasya will deal a large instance of Stellar-Glimmer damage.

As a DPS, Tsaritsa's Elemental Skill grants her Cryo Normal Attacks that also deal Stellar-Glimmer reaction damage. Her Elemental Burst will Seal the rest of the party, preventing them from being swapped to, and buffing Anastasya's CRIT DMG for each. After performing her full Normal Attack chain, the party will no longer be Sealed, and Anastasya gains three enhanced Elemental Skill casts, which will deal high Stellar-Glimmer reaction.

Anastasya's Best Constellations

Anastasya has a good C1, and an excellent C2, providing her with much more teamwide buffing. After C2, her Constellations are not worth going for unless you are going all the way to C6.

Anastasya has some of the strongest damage increases from her Constellations in the game. Her C1 and C2 are both excellent stopping points. C3 is decent as well, but it's not advised to go beyond C2 unless going all the way to C6.
