Best Anton Build Guide

Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu · Updated 6 Oct 2026

Playstyle Overview

Anton is an A-Rank Electric Attack DPS built around Burst Mode. After EX Special Attack: Smash the Horizon, Bro!, his attacks turn into Drill and Pile Driver Attacks that deal heavy Electric DMG while constantly draining Energy, so he is very Energy-reliant.

His Additional Ability adds an extra instance of Shock DMG to his next hit on a Shocked enemy after every 4 critical hits in Burst Mode. So you will want lots of CRIT Rate and teammates who keep enemies Shocked, like Grace, or Electric Stunners such as Qingyi and Trigger. His damage falls far behind modern DPS units, drops sharply outside Burst Mode, and he has few partners outside S-Rank Agents.

Best W-Engines

Heartstring Nocturne

ATK 713 · CRIT Rate 24%

An excellent stat stick. It gives a huge amount of unconditional CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, so Anton crits constantly to trigger his Additional Ability.

String & Melody ›

CRIT DMG increases by 50%. When the equipper enters the battlefield, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Zanshin Herb Case

ATK 713 · CRIT DMG 48%

A solid generic option. It keeps 20% CRIT Rate up almost all the time, with always-on CRIT DMG and high Base ATK.

Growth Through Adversity ›

CRIT Rate increases by 10%. Dash Attack Electric DMG increases by 40%. When any squad member applies an Attribute Anomaly or Stuns an enemy, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by an additional 10% for 15s.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Severed Innocence

ATK 713 · CRIT DMG 48%

A strong stat stick packed with CRIT DMG. It stacks from Basic and Special Attacks and adds Electric DMG at full stacks, which suits Anton well.

Tranquil Blossom ›

CRIT DMG is increased by 30%. When the equipper lands a hit with a Basic Attack, Special Attack, or Aftershock, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's CRIT DMG by an additional 10%, stacking up to 3 times. The effect lasts for 30s, with each stack's duration calculated separately, and can only be triggered once per use of a skill. With all 3 stacks, the equipper's Electric DMG increases by 20%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

The Brimstone

ATK 684 · ATK% 30%

Soldier 11's signature, which stacks ATK from Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters. It suits an on-field Anton. Each stack has its own timer, so you need to keep attacking to keep it maxed.

Scorching Breath ›

Upon hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, or Dodge Counter, the equipper's ATK increases by 3.5% for 8s, stacking up to 8 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Street Superstar

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

A niche free option. Chain Attacks from the squad build stacks that greatly boost his Ultimate. It's competitive when you have an Ultimate for each Stun, but it falls behind in standard rotations.

Flaming Bars ›

Whenever a squad member launches a Chain Attack, the equipper gains a Charge stack, stacking up to 3 times. Upon activating their own Ultimate, the equipper consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the skill's DMG by 15%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Starlight Engine

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

A dependable free option with an ATK% main stat plus an ATK buff after Dodge Counters or Quick Assists. The buff is easy to maintain with a Support in the team. Marcato Desire also works. His signature Drill Rig - Red Axis is only worth it if Anton truly needs the Energy Regen.

Knight Plummel ›

Launching an Assist Attack increases the equipper's ATK by 12% for 12s.

4-piece:

As long as an enemy in combat is Shocked, the equipper's ATK is increased by 28%.

Woodpecker Electro

2-pc ›

2-piece:

CRIT Rate +8%

Strongest when enemies stay Shocked. It gives +28% combat ATK for as long as Shock lasts, multiplying all of Anton's ATK. It fits an on-field playstyle, for example with Trigger. Hormone Punk or Puffer Electro can fill the 2-piece slot.

Puffer Electro

Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equipper's ATK by 15% for 12s.

Woodpecker Electro

2-pc ›

2-piece:

CRIT Rate +8%

A set for burst play. Save your Ultimate for the Stun window and use it before the combo to gain ATK and Ultimate DMG. Its value drops if you can't have an Ultimate for every Stun.

Dawn's Bloom

4-pc ›

2-piece:

Increases Basic Attack DMG by 15%.

4-piece:

Increases Basic Attack DMG by 20%.

When equipped by an Attack Character, using an EX Special Attack or Ultimate will further increase Basic Attack DMG by 20% for 25s.

Repeated triggers reset the duration.

Swing Jazz

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Energy Regen increases +20%

A big Basic Attack DMG boost that grows further after an EX Special Attack or Ultimate. 2-piece Swing Jazz adds Energy Regen so he enters Burst Mode more often.

Hormone Punk

4-pc ›

2-piece:

ATK +10%

4-piece:

Upon entering combat or switching in, its user's ATK increases by 25% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s.

Swing Jazz

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Energy Regen increases +20%

A large ATK boost on switch-in, ideal for swap-heavy teams (Astra Yao, Nicole) or burst play with Qingyi. Swing Jazz helps him enter Burst Mode more often.

CRIT Rate: 70 – 100%
CRIT DMG: 120 – 160%+

Anton needs high CRIT Rate because his Additional Ability only triggers every 4 critical hits in Burst Mode. Balance it with CRIT DMG before you look at ATK. With Nicole in the team, avoid a PEN Ratio Disc 5, as that stat loses value when enemies are already DEF-shredded.

Skill Priority

Core Skill
›Basic Attack
›Chain Attack
›Special Attack
›Assist
›Dodge

His Core Skill boosts Pile Driver and Drill Attack DMG, so it is worth leveling early. Basic Attack in Burst Mode is his most consistent damage, followed by Chain Attack/Ultimate and Special Attack. If you run the Quick Assist team with Astra Yao and Nicole, push Assist much higher since his Quick Assist multiplier is huge.

Best Teams for Anton

Shock Teams

Grace keeps enemies Shocked and activates Anton's Additional Ability on her own, letting him make full use of the extra Shock DMG in Burst Mode. Rina buffs Anton and extends Shock duration.

Swap Rina for Qingyi to raise the Stun DMG multiplier. Anton can then unload huge damage on targets that are both Stunned and Shocked.

Quick Assist Team

Anton

Astra Yao

Nicole

This team exploits Anton's very high Quick Assist multiplier. Astra Yao keeps triggering Quick Assists and buffs everything, while Nicole shreds DEF. Prioritize Assist levels and run 4-piece Hormone Punk.

Stun Team

Anton

Trigger

Astra Yao

Trigger stays off-field almost all the time. She raises the Stun DMG multiplier, activates Anton's Additional Ability as a fellow Electric Agent, and leaves the field to him. It pairs well with 4-piece Thunder Metal.

F2P Team

A free team. Anby Stuns and applies Shock, Nicole shreds enemy DEF, then Anton enters Burst Mode to unload.

Best Bangboo for Anton

Plugboo is the main pick for Shock teams (needs two Electric Agents, easy with Grace or Rina). Safety, Avocaboo or Electroboo are alternatives. Safety only activates its Additional Ability with two or more Belobog Heavy Industries members.

In the F2P team with Anby and Nicole, use Electroboo, or Bagboo and Avocaboo.

Mindscape Cinema

Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?

M1 is the best stopping point because it fixes Anton's Energy problem. M6 is also a very strong upgrade to his Burst Mode damage. M2 and M4 are decent. M3 and M5 only add skill levels and are not counted.

M1
Drill Attacks restore extra Energy on hit (up to 5 per skill), so Burst Mode lasts longer and comes back sooner.
M2
Anton gets a Shield worth 7.5% of max HP when entering Burst Mode. It makes his on-field time safer but isn't essential.
M4
Chain Attacks and Ultimates give the whole squad 10% CRIT Rate for 12s. It's a handy team buff, though not a must.
M6
Critical Pile Driver Attacks stack up to 6 times to boost his Burst Mode Basic Attack and Dodge Counter DMG. That's a very large damage increase.

Warm-Up ExercisesRecommended

When Drill Attack hits an enemy, Anton gains additional Energy, up to a maximum of 5 Energy per skill use.

"Are you awake? Get spinning, bro!"
"Try and keep up. It's time to do our stretches!"

State of FlowRecommended

When Anton uses his EX Special Attack and enters Burst Mode, he gains a Shield that equals to 7.5% of his max HP.

While in Burst Mode, entering combat or switching in reapplies the Shield effect. This effect can trigger once every 15s.

The Shield dissipates when Burst Mode ends.

After arduous training, a few lucky individuals will display exceptional vigor and perform above their usual level during high-intensity activities, entering a state of flow commonly known as "being in the zone."

Rotational Training

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

Knowing a bit of everything may seem underwhelming, but in a complex and ever-changing Hollow worksite, having a wide skillset can present an opportunity to overcome difficulties.

Everyone Get Fired Up!Recommended

When Anton uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, all squad members' CRIT Rate increases by 10% for 12s.

"Find your rhythm, and let's get moving!"
When Anton starts to get serious, everyone becomes more nimble.
They have to keep up or else they will be training alone the next day.

Jack of All Trades

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

Knowing a bit of everything may seem underwhelming, but if you are resolute enough to change from "knowing a bit" to "being excellent," then you become omnipotent!

Break the LimitRecommended

When Anton's Piledriver Attack triggers a critical hit, his Basic Attack: Enthusiastic Drills (Burst Mode) and Dodge Counter: Overload Drill (Burst Mode) deal 4% more DMG for 30s, stacking up to 6 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

"Yeah bro, can you feel the burn?"
Whenever Anton wants to exceed his limits, his "bro" starts spinning at an astonishing pace, its buzzing echoing Anton's resolution.

Story

Agent Profile: Anton

Anton is a key member of construction staff at Belobog Industries and one of Koleda's trusted aides.

"Got a job you can't handle? Leave it to me!"

Anton is one of the top brass at Belobog, handpicked by its former president Khors, which makes him a "senior employee."

A genuine, straightforward man, always boosting the morale of his coworkers with his surplus of energy.

Apart from this, it seems Anton is always talking to his jackhammer, affectionately calling it, "Bro."

An instance from Anton’s everyday life goes like this:

Anton, seemingly in dialogue with himself, asks, "Whaddaya think, Bro?"

The jackhammer replies, "Vroom vroom vroom—"

Anton, apparently enlightened, responds, "I see, I see! You still got it, Bro!"

Unfortunately, I have not collected enough information on such occurrences and am not able to deliver further analysis.

Increase Trust to Close to unlock more

Here is a video recording depicting Anton's life:

Late at night at the construction site, Anton gazes down at his jackhammer and mutters to himself, "Dang, this is exhausting, Bro..."

As the jackhammer buzzed to life, Anton nodded in acknowledgment. "No, a real one doesn't complain about being tired! Thanks for reminding me, buddy! You can never back down from a challenge!"

The truth is, Anton had set up demanding tasks for the construction workers, hoping to push them to their limits and unlock their true potential. However, witnessing their struggles and diminishing confidence, he couldn't bear to see them suffer any longer, so he secretly completed all the tasks in the dead of night.

In the end, Anton became the one who accepted all the trials.

* Anton's beloved "bro," aka his jackhammer, appears to have a connection to his former colleagues.

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

Anton keeps saying he's the "second-best driller in the company."

So... who's the first?

Wise

I think it's the heavy drill machine from their company. I've heard him say something like "I gotta win next time" against it.
