Anby Demara
Who is Anby Demara?
Anby Demara is an A-rank Electric Stun agent from the Cunning Hares and one of the original starter characters of Zenless Zone Zero. She is the most commonly available Stun unit in the game — obtainable from the standard banner, story rewards, and various early-game events. While outclassed by premium Stun units in the late game, she covers the essential Stun role well for Electric and mixed element teams throughout early and mid-game content.
Kit Summary
Quick 3-hit Electric combo building Daze progressively; fast and efficient for her standard A-rank kit.
Charges forward with a 2-hit Electric burst dealing concentrated Daze; her main Daze generation tool on a short cooldown.
On dodge assist, delivers an Electric hit with solid Daze accumulation — keeps her Daze cycling smooth after defensive inputs.
AoE Electric burst that deals strong Daze to all nearby enemies and applies an Electric vulnerability debuff briefly.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Shockstar Disco (4pc) — Impact and Daze accumulation for consistent Stun cycling. Same set as premium Stun units — easy to farm early.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
The Restrained (4★ Stun W-Engine) — standard Impact-boosting W-Engine available from the standard rotating shop. Budget: Any W-Engine with Impact or ATK% sub-stat will serve until The Restrained is obtained.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Budget Electric: Harumasa + Anby Demara + Rina (accessible Electric team before acquiring Trigger)
Starter: Nicole + Anby + Soukaku / Lucy (Anby covers Stun for any early-game team composition)
F2P Verdict
Anby is obtainable from the standard Permanent Channel banner and through early-game story/event rewards — effectively free.
She gets meaningfully better at M2 (increases Daze per EX Special hit) — standard pull duplicates provide this naturally.
Fully viable in all content before Hollows Deep stages; Trigger is the natural upgrade when players reach end-game Electric teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I upgrade from Anby to Trigger?
Anby covers Stun needs up through mid-game content and casual endgame. Once you are consistently clearing Shiyu Defense floor 7+ and want to push higher clear speeds or lower rotation timers, Trigger is the upgrade — she stuns faster, cycles more reliably, and provides Electric DMG buff on Stunned enemies.
Is there a Soldier 0 version of Anby worth comparing?
Anby Demara — Soldier 0 is a separate S-rank limited agent with a different Electric Attack (not Stun) kit. She is not a direct upgrade to Anby Stun; they fill different roles. Anby standard remains the Stun pick while Soldier 0 fills an Electric Attack DPS slot.
Does Anby work in non-Electric teams?
Her Daze accumulation is useful in any team needing a Stun unit, but she deals Electric DMG which wastes element synergy outside Electric compositions. She is a fine budget Stun in mixed teams for new players who have not pulled a dedicated elemental Stun agent yet.
