Anby Demara's Best Mindscapes
Being an A-Rank, you will likely get all of Anby's Mindscapes eventually by playing the game. That being said, some Mindscape Cinema upgrades are more impactful than others. These would be Rapid Charge Mode (M1) and her Charging Field (M6). Her M1 increases her Energy Regeneration Rate, allowing more uses of her EX Special, and her M6 greatly increases the damage she deals after an EX Special. By increasing the frequency of Anby's EX Specials, she can accumulate more Daze on targets faster, stunning them more effectively.
# | Mindscape | Description |
---|---|---|
M1 | Rapid Charge Mode | When the 4th-hit of Anby's Basic Attack hits an enemy, her Energy Generation Rate is increased by 12% for 30s. |
M2 | Precision Discharge | When Basic Attack: Thunderbolt hits a Stunned enemy, its DMG is increased by 30%. When Anby's EX Special Attack hits an enemy that is not Stunned, the Daze inflicted is increased by 10%. |
M3 | Well-Disciplined | Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2. |
M4 | Conducting Charge | When Anby launches a Chain Attack or uses her Ultimate, off-field Electric characters recover 3 Energy. For every 12% of Anby's Energy Generation Rate, recover an additional 2 Energy, up to a maximum of 6 additional Energy. |
M5 | Street Experience | Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2. |
M6 | Charging Field | When Anby uses her EX Special Attack, she gains 8 stacks of Charge (max 8 stacks). When she hits an enemy with her Basic Attack or Dash Attack, 1 stack of Charge is consumed, increasing that attack's DMG by 45%. |

How to Play Anby Demara
Anby's gameplay revolves around building Daze by using her hold Basic Attack or her Special Attack during her Basic Attack combo to deal increased Daze and stun enemies easily.
Anby's hold button Basic Attack and her timed Special Attack and EX Special Attack deal increased Daze to enemies, so taking advantage of these is important to Stunning enemies quickly. Compared to the S-Rank Stun Agents, Anby's Daze application is much lower, so taking advantage of these properly is important to bridge the gap. She is the only A-Rank Stun Agent in the game, and is given to you for free, so it can be worthwhile to learn how to properly play her.

Anby's best W-Engine is The Restrained. It increases the damage and Daze from her basic attacks, the core part of the Daze combos. Her best A-Rank option is Steam Oven. This W-Engine increases her Impact every time 10 energy is accumulated.
While Ice-Jade Teapot can be considered as a S-Rank W-Engine alternative, players should keep in mind that Anby may not be the most suitable for its Effect Ringing Melody. This is because at minimum, Anby should possess at least 15 stacks of Tea-riffic before switching to another Agent. This would allow the squad to benefit from the DMG buff. However, to do so, she needs to attack 15 or more times (more than 3 Basic Combos, which total 12 attacks), at which point, she may have already stunned the target. If Anby is well built and players use her EX Specials effectively in combat, Anby may not build up to 30 stacks properly, which decreases the potential Impact the W-Engine can provide for her.
Anby's best Drive set is the Shockstar Disco set. It's the best set for all stun Agents, granting a great bonus to her Impact and Daze. The best 2 piece set is Swing Jazz for the energy regen, but Freedom Blues and Thunder Metal are both good too. The only mandatory main stat on the Drives is Impact on Disk 6, everything else is flexible depending on how you build her and which substats the pieces roll.
Bangboo Information
Anby's best Bangboo are Amillion on a Cunning Hares team, and Plugboo on a mono- Electric team.
Other alternatives include Sumoboo and Electroboo as A-Rank options.
