Best matrices build
Annabelle’s matrices should also contribute to enhancing her damage. If you do not own the four-piece set of Annabella, a mix-and-match of two-set matrices involving Crow, Shiro, and Ruby is an alternative and the most popular option. If you don’t have the four-piece Annabella set, the most popular alternative is a mix-and-match of 2-set matrices involving Crow, Shiro, and Ruby.
Since Annabella already has a lot of Shatter, the damage she deals will be amplified by Shiro’s two-piece set. You can also combine Ruby’s two-piece set with these builds to increase the damage done by your weapon’s Flame attack skill. Annabella can make good use of Ruby’s two-piece set because it is ideal for Flame DPS characters.
Annabella Matrix (SSR)
- 2-piece Set: Hitting a target with a Flame weapon increases final damage by 6%/7%/8%/9% for 30 seconds, up to 2 stacks, and final crit rate by 2.5%/2.5%/3%/3%. When obtained repeatedly, only the effect with the highest star rating is used.
- 4-piece Set: Equip two or more Flame weapons to activate the Flowing Flames effect, which increases final damage by 13%/15%/17%/19% and crit damage by 21%/24%/27%/30% for 10 seconds after a critical hit. When the charged attack hits an enemy three times, you recover one dodge and your cooldown is reduced by two seconds. When obtained repeatedly, only the effect with the highest star rating is used.
Crow Matrix (SSR)
- 2-piece Set: Crit damage to targets with less than 60% HP is increased by 24%/30%/36%/42%.
Ruby Matrix (SSR)
- 2-piece Set: Flame ATK is increased by 15%/18%/21%/25% for 25 seconds after using the weapon skill. The effect operates in the background, and if multiple sets are used, the highest star set will be activated (does not stack).
Shiro Matrix (SSR)
- 2-piece set: Increase damage and shatter by 15%/19%/22.5%/26% on targets with more than 50% HP.
Best team compositions
Annabella + Ruby + Lin
- Gas Build: This build is ideal for a single-target enemy, as it is simple to use and has smooth rotations. To begin, use Annabella’s weapon and switch to Gas mode. Continue to spam dash attacks and make sure the snipe shots aren’t cancelled out. Lin can be used to buff Annabella and generate epiphyllum for off-field damage. Ruby’s weapon can be used to deal more damage.
Keep in mind that Annabella is the primary DPS in this build, so Ruby and Lin are not required. As long as Flame Resonance is activated, you can use other Alternatives, such as any type of Flame weapon. Use any other buffer, such as Claudia or Tsubasa, as an alternative in Lin.
- Burn Build: Swap the matrices of Annabella and Ruby to switch between DPS and Support builds and deal damage to multiple targets. Ruby is now the primary DPS weapon in this build, with Annabella taking the Support stance. In this case, the Burn build is a little more difficult to rotate than the Gas Build.
Start by Lin as she utilizes her continuous wind field and ensures constant epiphyllum production. Lin’s zone increases the duration of Burn by 4 seconds. Then, switch to Annabella to select Burn bullets, deal two Dodge attacks to activate a fully charged Cross Snipe, and grant Ruby buffs whenever possible. Use Ruby’s ability and the discharge ability to activate the Burn Tally mechanism effect and spam Burn detonations to inflict significant damage.
This brings to a close our guide on Annabella in Tower of Fantasy.
