Annie: skills, upgrades and Might

Annie is a UR warlock who plays as DPS. Fully upgraded, she reaches 916,394 Might, rank 2 of 16 among the game's DPS heroes. Unlocking her takes 10 shards ( Annie Shard), and the shards become available once the Warlock Statue reaches level 20. Annie does not appear in the hero list until server day 14.

Awakening and the Exclusive Weapon follow their own schedules, unrelated to when the hero appears. The awakening tab appears on day 29 of the season: it opens for the fifteen UR heroes one at a time, one every two weeks, with the last tab on day 197. The Exclusive Weapon becomes available on day 190 of the season.

Why she matters

Role: A warlock DPS who sets her targets on fire, as Candy Jar and Surprise Gift leave a burn worth 100% of ATK per second. Damage keeps ticking after the hit itself. The ultimate meanwhile picks the three highest-attack enemies and strikes them for 3,553.2%.

Worth investing: Annie ranks second of sixteen DPS heroes by maximum Might (916,394), sits in tier A and belongs to the best squad of the game alongside Arthur, Billy, Ulfrid and Joker. She opens up early, on server day 14, so she is worth levelling as soon as she is obtained.

Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards ( Annie Shard). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:

Skill levels

Every skill goes up to level 40 with Skill Badge: one skill costs 436,700 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:

Awakening

40 levels, 2,870 awakening shards in total ( Annie Awaken Shard). At max it adds:

• HP +1,327,045, ATK +12,654, DEF +18,540

How to play

Among UR DPS heroes only Annie fires an active skill every 4.5 seconds: Surprise Gift returns faster than Zoya's, Joker's and Red Lady's skills at 5 seconds each. Candy Jar gives 3,553.2% against the three highest-attack enemies, less than Joker's 5,047.5%, yet it leaves a burn worth 100% of ATK per second.

Annie enters the hero list on server day 14 together with Joker, and her Awakening opens on season day 29, the third after Marlena and Cynthia. Her Exclusive Weapon waits until season day 190, and only Arthur's weapon opens later than that. Her shards come from the Warlock Statue at level 20, and she stands in the guarantee of the third recruit pool as well.

Stars cost the most. The third target of Candy Jar arrives as early as ★10, the extra 900% against a burning enemy at ★30, and a further 200% of damage at ★50, that is after all 975 shards. Awakening is generous by comparison, 1,327,045 HP against 425,119 for Zoya and Joker, and it opens early.

In the best squad of the game Annie stands with Arthur, Billy, Ulfrid and Joker for 131.1M effective HP, 3.2M damage per second and +15% for four warlocks. The burn makes Nicole her natural partner, since Inferno Array adds 45% against burning targets.

Squad stats with faction bonus

23.1 M HP223,649 ATK179,351 DEF131.1 M survivability3.2 M damage/s4.9 M power

Synergy

• Faction bonus +15% to HP, ATK and DEF: 4 warlocks + 1 warrior.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Arthur 32%, Billy 29%, Ulfrid 14%. The sum hits the model's 75% cap.
• Shields and healing add 9.7M survivability: Arthur.
• Roles: 3 tanks + 2 damage heroes.

Key skills

• Arthur, Earthshattering (every 7s): −35% damage taken by the squad for 5s
• Arthur, Strong Will (passive): −9% damage taken by tanks
• Billy, Fate's Thread (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Ulfrid, Throat Bite (every 7s): −27% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Ulfrid, Sharp Claw (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Annie, Candy (auto attack): 747% ATK damage
• Joker, Deal Cards (auto attack): 747% ATK damage

Why this is the best combination available

• Arthur's main contribution: 32% squad damage reduction, 8.4M of shields per fight. The best substitute among your heroes, Louis, does not match it: without Arthur the squad's result drops by 36%.
• Ulfrid's main contribution: 14% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Harper, does not match it: without Ulfrid the squad's result drops by 16%.
• Billy's main contribution: 29% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Louis, does not match it: without Billy the squad's result drops by 16%.

When to use it

• The best squad on the "Survivability" tab differs by the swap Annie, Billy, Ulfrid, Joker → Marlena, Daskal, Harper, Louis: it gains 15% more survivability but loses 2% effectiveness. Trade only when survivability is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max damage" tab differs by the swap Arthur → Red Lady: it gains 13% more damage per second but loses 68% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Annie, Billy, Joker → Daskal, Shadow, Louis: it gains 7% more power but loses 32% effectiveness. Trade only when power is what matters. Power is a storefront sum that ignores synergy; it decides less in a real fight.

How this is calculated

Stats are taken at full investment (level and star template, personal growth ratio, awakening and exclusive gear). Over a 30-second fight every skill casts on its cooldown, the first cast at its initial delay. Survivability = (HP + shields + healing) / (1 − damage reduction, capped at 75%). Defense and troops are computed server-side and are outside the model. Index 100 = the best squad built from all heroes in the game.
