Best Piper Build Guide

Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·

Playstyle Overview

Piper is an A-Rank Physical Anomaly Agent who deals damage and builds Assault mainly through her spinning Special Attacks. Hold Special to charge Tire Spin, keep holding EX to continue into Engine Spin, then release to finish. Her Core Passive grants up to 20 Power stacks, each raising her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate.

With a Physical or Sons of Calydon teammate, 20 stacks give the whole squad +18% DMG. Build Anomaly Proficiency and Anomaly Mastery. Piper is cheap and very easy to play, but much of her potential is locked behind Alice's W-Engine and Yuzuha, and she drops off noticeably outside Vivian or Velina teams.

Best W-Engines

1
Practiced PerfectionS1
Practiced Perfection

ATK 713 · ATK% 30%

Alice's signature is her best choice, bar none: high base ATK plus ATK%, Anomaly Mastery and plenty of Physical DMG, exactly the stats Piper wants.
Gift of Stardust ›

The equipper's Anomaly Mastery increases by 60. When inflicting Assault, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 20% for 20s, stacking up to 2 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When the equipper enters combat, immediately gain 2 stacks.

2
Sharpened StingerS1
Sharpened Stinger

ATK 713 · Anomaly Proficiency 90

Jane's signature offers lots of Physical DMG, Anomaly Buildup and Anomaly Proficiency, but its value depends on how many Dodge Counters you land, favoring Agents who stay on-field. Still great, but not better than Practiced Perfection.
Indulge in the Hunt ›

Upon activating a Dash Attack, gain 1 stack of Predatory Instinct. Each stack of Predatory Instinct increases the equipper’s Physical DMG by 12% for 10s, stacking up to 3 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s and repeated triggers reset the duration. When entering combat or triggering Perfect Dodge, gain 3 stacks of Predatory Instinct. While Predatory Instinct is at maximum stacks, the equipper’s Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 40%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

3
Weeping GeminiS5
Weeping Gemini

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

The best free option: a big Anomaly Proficiency boost whenever the squad applies an Anomaly, plus permanent ATK%. Not on par with the options above, but a reliable alternative.
Lingering Cries ›

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats are shown at base level

4
Roaring RideS5
Roaring Ride

ATK 624 · ATK% 25%

Her signature: an ATK% main stat, and each EX Special Attack hit grants one of three random buffs (ATK, Anomaly Proficiency, Anomaly Buildup Rate), which can all be active at once. Keeping all three up permanently is the dream; otherwise it falls behind, and even at best it doesn't match the top options.
Collision Potential ›

When EX Special Attack hits an enemy, one of three possible effects is randomly triggered for 5 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. The same types of effects cannot stack. Repeated triggers reset the duration, allowing several effects to be active at once:

Increases the equipper’s ATK by 8%, increases the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency by 40, or increases the equipper’s Anomaly Buildup Rate by 25%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

5
Electro-Lip GlossS5
Electro-Lip Gloss

ATK 594 · Anomaly Proficiency 75

Consistent in every situation: its ATK and DMG bonuses are almost always active. Other A-Rank W-Engines can match or beat it, but they need buff management or specific teams.
Kiss of Death ›

When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10% and they deal an additional 15% more DMG to the target.

*Stats are shown at base level

6
Fusion CompilerS1
Fusion Compiler

ATK 684 · PEN Ratio 24%

An alternative: PEN Ratio, ATK and Anomaly Proficiency stacks whenever she uses Special Attacks, which suits Piper's constant spinning.
Data Flood ›

Increases ATK by 12%.

When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 25 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times.

The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Piper is built like a typical Anomaly Agent: Anomaly Proficiency on Disc 4 and substats for stronger Assaults, Anomaly Mastery on Disc 6 to build Anomaly quickly. On Disc 5, PEN Ratio, ATK% and Physical DMG are roughly equal.

Skill Priority

  1. Special Attack
  2. ›Core Skill
  3. ›Assist
  4. ›Chain Attack
  5. ›Basic Attack
  6. ›Dodge

Special Attack is her main damage source and where she builds most of her Power and Physical Anomaly, so level it first. Her Core Skill raises the Anomaly Buildup Rate each Power stack provides. Then Assist and Chain Attack/Ultimate (her Ultimate also grants Power); Basic Attack sees little use and Dodge comes last.

Best Teams for Piper

Most Used Teams Right Now

Piper's most used team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault, with a very high average score. Velina takes care of Piper's Disorder management: more Anomalies means more Vortexes, so Piper can go all-in on fast buildup. Piper can swap out during her EX Special Attack, so Remielle's long animations aren't a problem.
Her next most used team. Vivian's Ablooms trigger on EX Special Attacks, and Piper can loop her EX cheaply in two parts (Engine Spin, then Really Heavy), so she goes through Vivian's feathers faster than most Agents.

Disorder Teams

Vivian applies Corruption, then Piper follows with Assault to trigger Disorder. Yuzuha boosts the team's Anomaly damage and, being Physical, unlocks Piper's Additional Ability.
Burnice acts as a Sub-DPS applying Burn off-field, and as a fellow Sons of Calydon member she unlocks Piper's Additional Ability when Yuzuha isn't available.

Stun Team

Piper's EX Special Attack gives her bursty Anomaly Buildup, fitting Nangong Yu's Stun-focused playstyle; the Flinch from Assault also helps reach Stun faster. Yuzuha provides strong buffs and unlocks Piper's Additional Ability.

F2P Team

Piper is the main DPS: Anby inflicts Daze and Nicole lowers DEF while grouping enemies, so Piper can freely use her EX Special Attack and Ultimate to build Physical Anomaly and Power stacks.

Best Bangboo for Piper

In teams with Vivian, Robin activates its Additional Ability thanks to a Mockingbird member; Luckyboo and Bangvolver shine with two or more Physical Agents such as Piper and Yuzuha, and Magnetiboo works in any team with an Anomaly Agent.

In the F2P team, Avocaboo handles healing (stronger with a Support like Nicole); Bagboo and Magnetiboo also work.

Mindscape Cinema

Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?

M1 and M2 are the most valuable steps and work together, since M2 scales with the Power stacks whose cap M1 raises. M4 and M6 are good but not essential. M3 and M5 only add skill levels and are not counted.

  • M1
    Spinning slashes have a 50% chance to grant an extra Power stack, and the cap rises to 30 stacks, making her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate much easier to stack.
  • M2
    Her downward smashes from Special Attack, EX Special Attack and Ultimate gain +10% Physical DMG, plus 1% per Power stack; she also moves faster while spinning.
  • M4
    Whenever a squad member applies an Anomaly, Piper recovers 20 Energy (once every 30s), allowing more EX Special Attacks.
  • M6
    Engine Spin lasts 2s longer and Power stacks last 4s longer, raising her overall damage. Nice to have but not essential.
M1

Leisure MomentRecommended

When Piper’s Special Attack: Tire Spin, EX Special Attack: Engine Spin, or Ultimate hits an enemy with a spinning slash, there is a 50% chance to gain an additional stack of Power. The maximum stack limit of Power is increased to 30.

One ordinary morning at Sons of Calydon, Piper lets out a lazy yawn. "Good morning—"

"Can we have another relaxing day today? It's important to take it easy, or else lil ol' me might end up working meself to death—"

M2

MotivationRecommended

During Special Attack: Tire Spin and EX Special Attack: Engine Spin, Piper’s movement speed increases. When using Special Attack: One Trillion Tons, EX Special Attack: Really Heavy, or Ultimate to launch a downward smash that hits an enemy, the Physical DMG dealt by the move is increased by 10%. For every stack of Power, this buff is further increased by 1%.

A bit of effort now means more rest later.

Though, it'd be even better if I didn't have to put in any effort at all — Piper stretches, pats the soft bed in her truck, and lies down.

M3

Truck Expert

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

Piper is always all about trucks.

Even when she's fast asleep, the rumble of an engine snaps her awake in an instant: "100 horsepower, 5-ton capacity... must be the new light truck from Three Gates Industries!"

M4

Refined TechniquesRecommended

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, Piper recovers 20 Energy. This effect can trigger every 30s.

Riding with Piper is a heart-pounding experience.

By the time she drawls out, "Hold~ on~ tight~," the truck is already barreling down the road.

She always gets you to your destination fast—though your nerves might take a hit.

M5

Personal Hobbies

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

Piper seems to have some hobbies that are not what you'd expect from her.

"This horse looks like a real runner... Hmm, but not many people are betting on it. Guess the one with the higher win rate is the safer bet..."

"Burp— Nitro-Fuel... I can drink more... Gimme another one!"

M6

Mild ExcitementRecommended

Increases the duration limit of EX Special Attack: Engine Spin by 2s and extends the duration of Power by 4s.

As you may already know, Piper's biggest dream is to live a life of perpetual relaxation.

But right now, her usually half-closed eyes are surprisingly bright and alert. "If it's for you... I suppose lil ol' me can try a little harder~"

Story

Agent Profile: Piper

Piper is a truck driver for the Sons of Calydon. Apart from driving, she's also responsible for vehicle maintenance and other related jobs.

Her tiny stature, cute voice (though she always seems half-asleep when not driving), and adorably harmless appearance (though she's a shut-in who can't be bothered to take care of her own appearance) make it hard to imagine that she would have such a crazy driving style.

Usually, by the time she drawls out, "Hold~ on~ tight~," the truck is already barreling down the road.

Rumor has it, Piper is a driver who doesn't need brakes. Though riding with her is a terrifying experience, she will always get you where you need to go safely, and in the shortest time possible. Of course, "safely" doesn't include any trauma that may be induced.

Piper has many hobbies that don't seem to match her age, such as reading newspapers, buying lottery tickets, and collecting car magazines.

Piper's biggest wish is to live each day slowly and leisurely.

Note: Please keep in mind, Master, that this is also my wish.

Increase Trust to Close to unlock more

Piper has a love for the sound of truck engines starting up, so she recorded the sound of Steeltusk starting up. She has to listen to the recording to fully wake up in the morning.

If Piper falls asleep during a meeting, playing a recording of a truck engine can quickly get her wide awake again (this intel was provided by Lucy).

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

Sometimes Piper says "lil ol' me" instead of "I"... Is she trying to be funny...? Or maybe she's shy!

Wise

I think it's probably just a catchphrase.

By the way, that last part... Is Fairy trying to complain about us...?

Hồ Sơ Người Đại Diện: Piper Wheel (Phần 1)

Piper, tài xế xe tải của Những Đứa Con Của Calydon. Ngoài lái xe tải, cô còn phụ trách các công việc liên quan đến bảo trì xe cộ.

Với thân hình nhỏ nhắn, giọng nói nhỏ nhẹ dễ thương (dù cô luôn buồn ngủ khi không lái xe), ngoại hình đáng yêu và không có chút tính uy hiếp nào (mặc dù cô khá khép kín, lười biếng và hoàn toàn không chăm chút vẻ ngoài), khiến người khác không ngờ được rằng cô lại có cách lái xe điên cuồng như vậy.

Thông thường khi cô nói "ngồi~vững~nha", thì khi chữ "vững" chưa kịp nói hết là chiếc xe tải đã lao vút đi trên đường.
Piper là tài xế "không bao giờ cần đạp phanh" trong lời đồn ở vành đai ngoài. Mặc dù việc ngồi trên chiếc xe của cô ấy sẽ khiến người khác tim đập chân run, nhưng cô luôn có thể đưa bạn đến nơi an toàn trong thời gian ngắn nhất...Tất nhiên là chưa tính đến thiệt hại về tinh thần.


Piper có nhiều sở thích không phù hợp với lứa tuổi của cô. Ví dụ như đọc báo, mua vé số, sưu tầm tạp chí xe cộ, v.v...
Mong ước lớn nhất của Piper chính là có thể nhàn nhã trải qua mỗi ngày.

Ghi chú: Đây cũng là nguyện vọng của tôi, mong bạn hiểu rõ.

Vì yêu thích tiếng động cơ xe tải khởi động, nên Piper đã ghi âm tiếng động cơ của Nanh Thép, mỗi ngày khi thức dậy cần phải nghe bản ghi âm trên điện thoại một lần mới có thể hoàn toàn tỉnh táo.

Nếu Piper ngủ quên trong cuộc họp, phát âm thanh động cơ xe tải có thể đánh thức cô ấy một cách hiệu quả (Dòng thông tin này được cung cấp bởi Lucy)

Ghi Chú Hợp Tác

Belle

Piper đôi khi xưng hô bản thân là "cái người này" thay vì là "tôi", do đang đùa hay là... đang mắc cỡ nhỉ!


Wise

Có lẽ đó chỉ là câu cửa miệng thôi.
Tính ra thì khi đọc nội dung này, anh luôn có cảm giác Fairy đang âm thầm than vãn gì đó với chúng ta...

Ấn tượng về Piper:
  • -Là vì lái xe tải nên tính cách giống ông chú, hay là vì tính cách giống ông chú nên mới yêu thích lái xe tải?,

  • -Piper dường như rất may mắn… Nếu đi cùng Piper thường xuyên, không chừng sẽ có được chút may mắn đó!,

  • -Người nói muốn hướng về phía trước, chắc hẳn phải có lý do khiến họ không muốn nhìn lại phía sau.
