Tips and Tricks[]
- Anya has two attack ranges, melee with her sword and long range with her rifle.
- Similar to her father, Anya is a strong all around fighter. While she lacks Dante's specialist bonus damage, she gains vampiric traits from her mother that grant her greater survivability.
- Anya is one of the best checkpoint defenders in the game, and is both able to travel extremely fast and her rifle has very long range. If a weak enemy is about to get through, she's fast enough (provided she's nearby) to cut them off, or, finish them off with a rifle shot just before they leave the map.
- Vampiric Claw has the potential to give Anya some of the highest healing in the game. As she herself has only less than average health, and it heals her based off the enemy's maximum health, against mightier foes she can heal herself for huge amounts of health.
- That being said, it is never ideal to have her fight larger enemies at melee range unless there's no other option.
- While her Ultimate is great for mowing down enemies, the ability to instantly revive Anya if she falls in battle nearby is very powerful. Reviving her should always take priority over combat unless an enemy is about to cause a game over.
Hero Synergy[]
- Works well with Grimson, able to support him from afar, and their Ultimate Spells together can spell doom for entire hordes.
