Zenless Zone Zero – Anby build and promotion guide

Earn yourself all the movies and hamburgers in the world with the best Zenless Zone Zero Anby build. As a Stun character, she specializes in inflicting Daze on the enemy to interrupt them and clear the path for Chain Attacks.

Anby’s Basic Attack unleashes up to four slashes with the first three dealing Physical DMG and the final one dealing Electric DMG. One of Anby’s core mechanics to master is her enhanced Basic Attack: Thunderbolt. To trigger Thunderbolt, first land three hits with her Basic Attack and then either hold the Basic Attack button or pause for a moment and then press the Basic Attack button again.

Hitting enemies with Basic Attack: Thunderbolt, Special Attack, or EX Special Attack after the third hit in Anby’s Basic Attack combo increases that move’s Daze infliction thanks to Anby’s Core Skill. In addition, this timing allows her to execute Special Attack and EX Special Attack faster than is normally possible.

• Full Name: Anbitasinia / Anby Demara
• Role: Stun
• Damage Type: Electric
• Faction: Gentle House aka. Cunning Hares
• Rarity: A-Rank

When paired with a fellow Electric Agent or member of the Cunning Hares, Anby recovers Energy after triggering a Dodge Counter.

You can further boost Anby’s capabilities by completing her Mindscape Cinema through getting additional copies of her. Level 1 nets her even more Energy Generation, Level 2 increases the damage dealt by Basic Attack: Thunderbolt against stunned targets and the EX Special Attack’s Daze against targets that are not stunned. Level 4 recovers Energy for off-field Electric Agents after Anby launched as a Chain Attack or Ultimate, giving her some support capabilities. Level 6 allows Anby to stack and consume Charge to enhance her damage output.

ZZZ – Anby: best teams

Anby is a solid character for interrupting the enemy thanks to her high Daze application and can also help by applying Shock to enemies, further stunning them if they’re weak to Electric DMG.

• Harumasa (Main DPS), Anby (Sub DPS), Soukaku (Support)
• Bangboo: Agent Gulliver

This is a robust Electric DMG composition consisting of characters that are – or have been in the past, in the case of Harumasa – available for free. Harumasa is the main damage driver, marking enemies and then using his Dash Attack to cut down their HP. Anby helps with Daze and Shock application, allowing Harumasa to get some Chain Attacks in. Soukaku’s Ice DMG boosts find little use in this team, but she can still pass on a significant amount of ATK to the Main DPS.

• Anton (Main DPS), Anby (Sub DPS), Grace (Sub DPS)
• Bangboo: Plugboo

This Mono-Electric team is all about inflicting Shock on the enemy consistently, which not only allows Anton to deal additional damage, but provides him with the necessary space to get his slower attack combo rolling. Grace is the main source for Anomaly Buildup here, while Anby contributes her Daze infliction as well as her own Electric DMG.
