What’s the best Anton build?
Anton is an A-rank, attack specialty agent who deals electric damage with piercing attacks. His best W-Engine is The Brimstone. It’s an S-rank option built around Soldier 11’s kit, but works really well for Anton due to his focus on basic attacks.
His best drive disc set is four pieces of Thunder Metal combined with two pieces of Puffer Electro, which further boosts his electric damage while also providing some pen ratio to help him chew through enemy defenses. Alternatively, four pieces of Freedom Blues and two pieces of Thunder Metal is also a great option for a more anomaly-focused build.
Here’s a brief summary of our best ZZZ Anton build:
| Rank | A |
| Attribute | Electric |
| Specialty | Attack |
| Attack type | Pierce |
| Best W-Engine | The Brimstone |
| Best drive discs | 4pc Thunder Metal and 2pc Puffer Electro |
| Main stats | Crit rate/damage > attack ratio or pen ratio > anomaly mastery or energy regen |
| Sub-stats | Crit rate/damage > pen > attack ratio > anomaly proficiency |
As an attack agent, Anton is skilled at dealing massive damage directly through attacks. He’s a powerful damage dealer who generally likes to get up close and personal with his enemies, smashing through them with powerful punches and drill attacks.
The most important part of Anton’s kit is his burst mode, which you can activate using his EX special attack when he has enough energy. Once you get to grips with this system and how to make the most of it, Anton can be a great asset to his team, piercing through enemy armor and disabling foes with his shock-inducing attacks.
If you want to make the most of Anton’s additional ability, be sure to team him up with other characters that share his attribute (electric) or faction (Belobog Heavy Industries), like Zenless Zone Zero’s Grace.
What are Anton’s best W-engines?
Anton’s best W-Engine is The Brimstone. As Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11‘s signature W-Engine, its skill is perfect for characters like Anton whose kits focus on a lot of basic attacks. It offers a substantial unconditional boost to his attack, as well as a stacking attack boost when he uses his basic attack, dash attack, or dodge counter, allowing him to dish out significantly more damage.
But don’t worry if you don’t have access to The Brimstone – there are some great lower rarity options for Anton.
Anton’s signature W-Engine is the A-rank Drill Rig – Red Axis. It’s tailor-made for him, boosting his energy regen with its advanced stats and increasing the electric damage from his basic and dash attacks when he uses his special or chain attack, which perfectly compliments his kit – especially with his burst mode ability. However, if you don’t need the energy regen, this W-Engine’s value drops significantly, as it can’t compare with the raw damage output provided by other options.
Alternatively, Street Superstar, Starlight Engine, and Cannon Rotor are all strong A-rank W-Engines for Anton.
Or, if you’re looking for a decent B-rank option to tide you over until you get something better, we recommend equipping Anton with [Lunar] Pleniluna, as it offers a nice, flat boost to his basic attack, dash attack, and dodge counter damage without any prerequisites.
