What Are Quirks in Anime Rising?
Quirks are special traits or bonuses that units can have, affecting their stats and abilities. They come in different grades ranging from E up to SS, including SS, S, A, B, C, D, and E. These quirks influence various aspects such as:
- Strength
- Skill Damage Boost
- Attack Speed
- Charge Speed
- Punch Damage Boost
- Stun Damage
- Shield Penetration
- Movement Speed
- Critical Chance
In addition to these general quirks, some are specific to classes, known as class quirks. These unique bonuses give special advantages depending on your character’s role. For example:
- Tacticians get Battle Intuition, boosting all units’ attack speed by 6 times for a short duration.
- Berserkers have War Frenzy, increasing attack speed with skill usage.
- Mages benefit from Deadly Execution, increasing skill damage on enemies with missing HP.
- Assassins gain Blade of Sacrifice and Death Kneel, dealing more damage to healthy mobs and extra damage after enemy death.
- Brawlers have stances like Barrage and Precision, which reduce skill cooldowns and increase attack effectiveness.
- Some quirks are global, such as Lucky Sevens (chance to deal 777 times damage) and Precision Distance (every third skill deals more damage).
These quirks allow for flexible team builds and strategic choices based on your preferred playstyle.
Anime Rising Meta Explained
The meta focuses on building teams that maximize damage output and efficiency across different playstyles:
- DPS Builds: Focus on maximizing damage per second to climb leaderboards.
- Devour Builds: Aim for high average DPS with survivability.
- AFK Farming: Builds optimized for farming resources overnight with minimal attention.
- Burst Damage: Teams designed for short but powerful damage bursts.
Popular builds include stun builds, mage builds, brawler strategies, berserker builds, and assassin setups. For example, an effective AFK farming team could have two tacticians and three assassins. The interaction between class quirks, such as the assassin’s teleport every 5 seconds and high burst damage, combined with movement speed quirks, allows quick enemy kills and efficient farming.
The meta is flexible and depends heavily on how you combine quirks with your units. The spreadsheet shared by community member Yagmon (also spelled Jagmmon) provides detailed stats, quirks, and build suggestions, making it a valuable resource for any player.
Mastering quirks and understanding the meta in Anime Rising can drastically improve your gameplay. Players have a comprehensive tool to analyze quirks and builds. Whether you want to climb leaderboards, farm efficiently, or optimize burst damage, knowing these quirks and strategies will help you rise above the rest. Be sure to check the spreadsheet and keep experimenting with different combinations to find what works best for you.
