Anton Ivanov Best Builds
Anton DPS Build
Maximizes Anton's damage during Burst Mode and his Shock-triggered damage. Severed Innocence is the best W-Engine; use the listed alternates if unavailable.
Prioritize the 4-piece Dawn's Bloom bonus and a 2-piece Swing Jazz complement. Ensure sufficient CRIT Rate so Anton's Burst hits crit consistently.

Anton Ivanov Best Teams and Bangboo
Anton F2P Team
Anton is the main DPS. Use Anby to apply Shock/Daze and Nicole to reduce enemy DEF so Anton can enter Burst Mode and deal heavy damage.
Anton Shock Team
A Shock-focused variant: Grace stacks Electric Anomaly and applies Shock while Rina provides buffs and extends Shock duration so Anton can trigger extra damage during Burst.
Anton Alternative Team
Alternative setup where Qingyi replaces the usual support to boost Stun multipliers so Anton deals massive damage to stunned + shocked enemies.
Anton Ivanov Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 basic attack | Anton's Basic Attacks are his consistent source of damage during Burst Mode, so max this Skill out first. | |
 special attack | Anton's Burst Mode is tied to his EX Special Attack, and his Special Attack during it deals a good amount of damage, so max this out along with his Basic Attack. | |
 core skill | Anton's Core Passive increases the damage of his Special Attack when he uses it. Though leveling this up does not increase the damage of his Shock triggers, it can increase Anton's CRIT Rate permanently. Upgrade this whenever you can. | |
 chain attack | Anton's Chain Attack and Ultimate deal good damage, but are not used as frequently as his Basic Attack and Special Attack, so it has a lower priority. | |
 dodge | Anton's Dodge Skills allow him to do some damage in and out of his Burst Mode, but it's less of a priority than his Basic Attack and Special Attack, so leave it for last. | |
 assist | Anton's Assist Skills deal some damage, but it's less of a priority than his Basic Attack and Special Attack. |
