Anna, Commander Stats: 41/29/38/22/28 Default Set: Anna is one of the 3 Heroes, every player starts with. In my humble opinion she has the most potential out of the 3 but also requires the most investment to reach peak performance. For an Axe unit she has a rather strange stat spread. She is the fastest green unit in the game (boon/banes excluded) with 38 Spd which is quite impressive. Her resistance isn't bad either, even allowing her to tank a +10 Reinhardt with Hone Cavalry (though she will not survive without help if he has Moonbow or Luna). Thanks to her superb Spd she will avoid being doubled by typical -blade mages like Linde or Nino and those will have trouble to kill Anna in a single hit. Her Atk stat is below-average but she has enough to take out most blue mages with one hit and thanks to her Spd she can double many Lance units. You shouldn't expect her to dent green Armor units though. She is overall fine in terms of offense though not outstanding compared to her fellow Axe infantry Raven or Legion. Her Legendary Weapon, Noatun, gives Anna unparalled mobility akin to a Flying unit. After refining it allows her to teleport around which has various uses for a supportive role. Be it to reposition allies or granting buffs through Spur/Drive skills this kind of free movement is quite handy to have around. That being said a refined Slaying Axe is probably better if you're looking for better combat performance as Noatun doesn't offer any benefits for combat and Anna struggles to meet some benchmarks for kills. Not everything is well with Anna though. Her biggest weakness is her poor defense. A lot of the top tier sword units have little trouble defeating her in a single hit and she is most of the times not capable of taking more than 2 hits from any physical attacker. Even green units start to take her out pretty easily and there are not many options to fix this problem without impeding her strengths. Overall, Anna can be described as a mage killer. But this requires her to have Distant Counter which is an expensive inheritance, so a more supportive role might fit her better if you're looking for a less expensive build. Keep in mind that there is no option to grant Anna more merge levels so she is limited in her maximum potential and will score less points than other units with merges. Despite this, she is regularly featured in the Arena so investing in her is not a bad choice, especially with the free stat bonus she receives. Builds: Mage Counter (Budget) Support Anna

It was such a great place...
