Soldier 0 – Anby, also known as Silver Anby, is an S rank unit who was introduced to Zenless Zone Zero alongside version 1.6. The original A -rank version of Anby was already a fan-favorite among the player base due to her presence in the story.
As such, with the release of an S-rank version, players were even more hyped, as she can keep up with some of the best DPS units in the game and also outperform them in certain scenarios. If you are a fan of Soldier 0-Anby, here’s a detailed build guide that will help you get her ready for the endgame.
Best Soldier 0-Anby Build
Soldier 0-Anby is an S-Rank Electric Attack unit, and she primarily functions as the team’s main DPS. Her entire kit revolves around marking enemies with the Silver Star mark, which can be inflicted by simply attacking an enemy. Additionally, she also inflicts enemies with one stack of White Thunder.
All enemies who are marked by Silver Star receive increased damage from Soldier 0-Anby. Finally, every Silver Star marked enemy also takes additional Crit DMG from Aftershock, and it also increases Anby’s personal Crit DMG by a significant amount.
The good part about Anby is that her kit is very simple to use as marking enemies with Silver Star and then dealing additional damage to them doesn’t take a lot of effort. Her overall damage is also very high, which puts her among other top DPS units like Yanagi, Evelyn, and Harumasa.
Make sure you always have a Support or a Stun unit in the party alongside Soldier 0-Anby as she gains additional Crit Rate and the Aftershock damage dealt to all enemies through allies is increased by 25%.
Best Soldier 0-Anby W-Engines
Anby being an Attack unit, needs a W-Engine that her boost her damage, Crit stats and her base ATK. While the Severed Innocence W-Engine is the best open to use for Anby, you can also go for something like Zanshin Herb Case or Marcato Desire.
Here are some of the best W-Engines that you can use on Soldier 0- Anby:
|
W-Engine |
Rank |
Synergy With Anby |
|---|---|---|
|
Severed Innocence |
S-rank |
This is the best W-Engine for Soldier 0-Anby and it comes with Crit DMG secondary stat. Additionally, it also provides a massive Crit DMG boost through its passive and grants a stack to the user whenever they use a Basic Attack, Special Attack, or Aftershock. Each stack provides further Crit DMG boost and can trigger up to three times. Once there are three stacks, the equipped gains a massive Electric DMG boost. This W-Engine synergizes perfectly with Anby since it directly boosts her kit by providing benefits such as Crit DMG and Electric DMG Boost. |
|
Zanshin Herb Case |
S-rank |
This is also a very good W-Engine for Soldier 0-Anby, and it comes with Crit DMG as the secondary stat. Additionally, it provides a 10% Crit Rate boost through its passive and a massive Electric DMG boost whenever a Dash Attack is used. When an ally Stuns an enemy, the equipped receives a further boost to their Crit Rate. This W-Engine has its benefits as Anby can dash to enemies using her Special Attack. Apart from that, having a Stun character in the team is a requirement for Anby which helps trigger the additional Crit Rate boost from the W-Engine. |
|
Marcato Desire |
A-rank |
This is an A-rank W-Engine, but it works exceptionally well on Anby. For starters, it comes with Crit Rate as a secondary stat. Additionally, upon dealing damage through Chain Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper’s ATK is increased by a significant amount. When enemies are afflicted by Attribute Anomaly, the equipped receives even more ATK boost. |
|
Cannon Rotor |
A-rank |
This is the Battle Pass W-Engine and can work decently on Soldier 0-Anby if you don’t have some of the better ones as mentioned earlier. It comes with Crit Rate as a secondary stat and also increases the ATK and DMG of the equpper by a decent amount. |
Best Soldier 0-Anby Drive Discs
When it comes to Drive Discs, you should go with the four-piece Shadow Harmony and two-piece Woodpecker Electro. This is because the Shadow Harmony set directly buffs the Aftershock, which in turn is an integral part of Soldier 0-Anby’s kit. Woodpecker Electro, on the other hand, provides some additional Crit Rate which helps with Anby’s consistency when dealing damage.
|
Drive Disc Set |

Slot 4: Crit Rate Slot 5: Electric DMG Slot 6: ATK |
2-pc: Dash Attacks and Aftershock have a 15 percent DMG bonus. 4-pc: When the equipped character hits an enemy with a Dash Attack or Aftershock, if their attribute matches with the DMG type, then the equipped character receives a stack. This stack increases the ATK and the Crit Rate of the character by 4% and can stack up to 3 times. |
|
Woodpecker Electro |
2-pc: Crit Rate is increased by 8 percent. |

This is the best team that you can run for Soldier 0-Anby as she will function as the main DPS while Pulchra will help Stun enemies and create openings. Astra can provide Crit DMG boosts alongside heals to not only buff the team, but also keep the allies safe. Knightboo helps recover Energy, which allows all the units to use their Ultimate abilities more frequently, thereby leading to more DPS and faster clear speed.
If you want, you can replace Pulchra with Tsukishiro Yanagi who will inflict Anomaly on the enemy team very quickly. However, since Yanagi is an S-rank unit, your investment increases significantly.

In this team, you pair Soldier 0-Anby with her A-rank version who is a Stun unit and helps create openings for the S-rank version. While A-rank Anby isn’t the most optimal, she is the best unit in a free-to-play setup. Nicole is an amazing support unit who can help with crowd control, thereby making it easy to deal damage.
