Anna

Player notes
Anna is a Legendary Watcher tagged with Luccia. In practical terms they cover healing, Act Again, and battery / buff enable. Luccia leader from Sagas of Ice and Blood: Forced Alert multi-actions, single-target focus, and Primal Ward answers.
Build around Alert, Strike Back, and Preempt windows. She wants interactive objects and off-turn actions online. Icebreaker imprint is niche—only pull/equip if you are maximizing Anna specifically, not as a general imprint.
In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Destroyers. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
Star plan on this page (“High during Luccia / Ice and Blood; reassess later if faction shifts”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.

Anna deep guide
Overview
Anna is a modern limited-style option—build her when you pull her as a featured DPS/flex rather than forcing her into every early roster.
Openers
- Identify whether the map wants her as primary or secondary DPS.
- Open with setup skill, then spender.
- Protect from hard matchup counters.
Mid-fight
Use as a banner carry with full enable support. If under-starred, keep her as flex and let Col/Camelot cook.
Investment
Banner-dependent high. Fund stars if she is your current limited centerpiece.
Sample teams
Pitfalls
- Pulling and building without an enabler.
- Comparing 1★ Anna to 5★ Col unfairly.
When to skip
Skip building if the banner was a spook and you lack resources for a third DPS.
Is Anna worth building?
Banner-dependent high. Fund stars if she is your current limited centerpiece.
Role and matchups
Anna fills healing, Act Again, and battery / buff enable. Watchers edge the magic lane into Destroyers while enabling the physical triangle. Attack into Destroyers for free damage. Full role chart →

Star priority: High during Luccia / Ice and Blood; reassess later if faction shifts
Gear deep dive
- Weapon — Icebreaker Bow: Alert / ward-break oriented bow for Luccia-era kits. Prefer it when forced Alert and Primal Ward content; cold-themed kits.
- Trinket — Frostspine Grip: Ice-era trinket for Alert / Luccia kits. Best when alert and ward-break stages; cold-themed kits.
- Tarot — Judgement: Alert / reaction-heavy tarot. Take it for reaction-heavy and off-turn damage plans.
Open each gear page for alternatives and Best on lists.
Team plan
Build the party around Anna as the enabler: one primary DPS (Seeker/Breaker/Destroyer), one frontline Defender, then flex for matchups or faction auras (Luccia). Feed Act Again and NRG into the carry first.
- Open with Ward Breaker when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Forced Alert) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Alert Shot) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Spend the first enable on your invested carry, not a half-built flex unit.
