Best Jane Doe build
Recommended W-Engines
Jane Doe’s main gameplay mechanic revolves around entering the Passion State by filling her Passion Stream. While in the Passion State, her Physical Anomaly buildup rate increases by 25%, dealing assault damage much faster.
The Passion State depletes quickly. Triggering perfect dodges, defensive assist, and Salchow jump while in Passion state regenerates and maintains the Passion Stream.
Her W-Engine should provide Anomaly Proficiency points to take advantage of her gameplay mechanic. Here’s a breakdown of the top W-Engines for Jane Doe.
| W-ENGINE | STATS | W-ENGINE EFFECTS |
| Sharpened Stinger | Base ATK: 714 Anomaly Proficiency: 90 | 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%. |
| Electro-Lip Gloss | Base ATK: 594 Anomaly Proficiency: 75 | Kiss of Death: When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper’s ATK increases by 16% and they deal an additional 25% more DMG to the target. |
| Weeping Gemini | Base ATK: 594 ATK: 25% | Lingering Cries: Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 42, 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. |
| Rainforest Gourmet | Base ATK: 594 Anomaly Proficiency: 75 | Dinner’s Ready!: For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 3.6% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
| Fusion Compiler | Base ATK: 684 PEN Ratio: 24% | Data Flood: Increases ATK by 21%. When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 43 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |
Sharpened Stinger is perfect for Jane Doe, boosting her Physical DMG and greatly enhancing her Anomaly Buildup Rate. The stacking Predatory Instinct makes her Dash Attacks a powerhouse, ensuring consistent massive Assault damage output. At maximum stacks, Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 40%.
Electro-Lip Gloss is an excellent alternative for players looking for a strong W-Engine through the battlepass. The extra DMG boost against enemies suffering from Attribute Anomalies makes this a strong option.
For the free-to-play option, Weeping Gemini provides Anomaly Proficiency points which allows Jane to further increase her Assault damage without relying on premium W-Engines.
It’s particularly fun for free-to-play players who enjoy seeing big Assault damage numbers. However, like most A-class W-engines, it has some uptime issues, so it’s better suited for longer fights.
Rainforest Gourmet is another free-to-play option. It allows players to easily manage its buff by using her EX Special, providing a strong and consistent ATK boost. However, it does have some downtime, meaning its performance can lag behind her signature W-Engine.
Fusion Compiler is an alternative S-ranked W-Engine for Jane. It provides a solid ATK boost and buffs Anomaly Proficiency with each Special or EX Special Attack. However, it’s difficult to maintain Fusion Compiler’s full stacks so only consider this if you have no other options available.
Recommended Drive Discs
Drive Discs that give Jane Anomaly Proficiency increases her Assault damage. Once her Anomaly Proficiency surpasses 120 points, each additional point increases her ATK by two, with a cap of 600, allowing her to deal even more damage in combat.
Her abilities focus on maximizing the damage she can deal in quick bursts and capitalize on her high physical anomaly buildup. To optimize her performance, it’s essential to select the right Drive Discs that align with her gameplay mechanics.
| JANE DOE DRIVE DISC | DRIVE DISC DESCRIPTION |
| Fanged Metal | 2-Pieces: Increases Physical damage by 20%. 4-Pieces: Whenever a squad member inflicts Assault on an enemy, the equipper deals 35% additional DMG to the target for 12s. |
| Freedom Blues | 2-Pieces: Increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30. 4-Pieces: When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, reduce the target’s Anomaly Buildup RES to the equipper’s Attribute by 20% for 8s. This effect does not stack with others of the same attribute. |
| Hormone Punk | 2-Pieces: Increases ATK by 10%. 4-Pieces: Upon entering combat or switching in, its user’s ATK increases by 25% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s. |
| Puffer Electro | 2-Pieces: Increases PEN Ratio by 8%. 4-Pieces: Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equipper’s ATK by 15% for 12s. |
For Jane Doe’s best physical and anomaly build, the 4-piece Fanged Metal set is highly recommended. This set is perfect for increasing her raw damage output especially when Jane triggers assault damage on her opponent.
To complement this set, you can pair it with either a 2-piece Freedom Blues for an increase in Anomaly Proficiency or a 2-piece Hormone Punk to boost her attack by 10%.
Alternatively, for players who want to focus more on Jane Doe’s penetration damage, the 4-piece Fanged Metal can also be paired with 2-piece Puffer Electro. The added Pen Ratio damage provides additional penetration effects, allowing her to bypass defenses and land bigger assault damage.
