Anby Demara Build: W-Engines, Discs, Stats & Rotation

Use Steam Oven as the craftable starting point, put Impact in disc 6, and learn the third-hit branch before refining substats. This guide covers original A-rank Electric Stun Anby, not Soldier 0 - Anby. It is a source-reviewed setup, not a live-combat benchmark.

Equipment and all six disc slots

Slot	Main stat for this setup
1	HP, fixed
2	ATK, fixed
3	DEF, fixed
4	CRIT Rate; CRIT DMG if the set requirement is already met
5	Electric DMG; ATK as a temporary alternative
6	Impact

King of the Summit (4) + Shockstar Disco (2) adds team utility for a CRIT attacker. Reach 50% CRIT Rate to satisfy Summit’s stronger buff condition. Shockstar Disco (4) + Swing Jazz (2) remains a straightforward Daze-focused fallback.

Steam Oven is craftable. Hellfire Gears is worth using if already owned. Keep Demara Battery Mark II as a temporary option while building the replacement. Equipment and combo details: Prydwen’s Anby reference, checked September 20, 2026.

Choose the fallback if you cannot yet assemble the required main stats. Completing a named set is not useful if you miss the condition that made you choose it. Lock your usable pieces; keep them available until the complete replacement works.

Choose between the two sets deliberately

Your current pieces	Practical choice
Summit assembled and its 50% CRIT condition met	Use its conditional team utility for a CRIT attacker
Summit pieces leave CRIT below the requirement	Keep the functional Daze set while finding the missing stats
The team does not rely on CRIT damage	Reconsider why Summit’s buff is valuable before farming it

For example, a finished setup at 47.6% CRIT Rate needs 2.4 percentage points to reach 50%. One S-rank CRIT Rate substat increment is 2.4 points, but rolling that stat is not guaranteed. This is a threshold calculation, not a stun-speed benchmark. Disc stat increments.

A repeatable Thunderbolt rotation

1. Perform Basic hits 1 → 2 → 3.
2. Without EX energy, hold Basic after hit 3 for Thunderbolt.
3. With EX ready, use EX Special → Basic: Thunderbolt after hit 3.
4. React to attacks with Dodge Counters or Defensive Assists; resume the setup when safe.

Use this as a training drill: watch for the distinct third hit, then perform only the branch you intended. If you cannot tell which action occurred, slow down and remove teammate swaps from the exercise. Add the handoff after the input sequence is comfortable.

Upgrade skills with a purpose

Prioritize Core, then the Special and Basic attacks used for Daze. Improve defensive and chain skills according to how often you actually use them. Do not spend the same amount on every button merely to make the levels match.

Before farming, write down the failed step. “I get interrupted before the third hit” calls for practice. “I perform the rotation cleanly but the opening arrives too late” is a reason to inspect progression and equipment. This distinction keeps expensive upgrades tied to a problem you can observe.

Team handoff and stopping rule

In Anby → Nicole → Billy, Anby prepares the opening, Nicole supports it, and Billy spends it. Once the enemy is stunned, avoid using Anby for extra actions without a clear reason.

Compare two complete setups against the same enemy. Record time to the first stun, whether Billy enters promptly, and whether the team needs an extra stun cycle. A more impressive equipment screen is not sufficient evidence by itself. Stop farming Anby when her job is reliable and another teammate has a more obvious weakness.

Review scope and revision

September 20: added the set-condition comparison and worked CRIT threshold; removed an unrelated placeholder product offer. Kit and equipment references checked during Version 3.2; the source’s full build review dates to 2.0, so this is not a new 3.2 damage ranking.

September 17: replaced the old default Demara Battery recommendation with a craftable stun option, added a conditional team-buff set, and specified the disc slots and input sequence. The Daze guide explains what the enemy gauge is telling you.
