Best Skill Upgrades for Anya

Find the best skill upgrades for Anya in Sea of Remnants. This guide details optimal choices for her unique remnant abilities for combat and exploration.

When investing in Anya's skill tree, prioritizing certain upgrades can dramatically enhance her combat effectiveness, particularly for a build focused on her water-based offensive capabilities. For "Riptide Slash," the most impactful upgrade is "Deepen the Cut." This upgrade increases the base damage of Riptide Slash by 15% and adds a 10% chance to inflict the "Bleeding" status effect, which deals damage over time. While "Wet" is her signature, adding a secondary damage-over-time effect provides more consistent pressure. Another valuable upgrade for Riptide Slash is "Flowing Strikes," which reduces the mana cost of the ability by 20%, allowing for more frequent use. For "Tidal Surge," the upgrade "Amplified Tides" is essential. It increases the bonus damage against "Wet" targets from 25% to 40% and reduces the cooldown by an additional turn when the bonus damage is applied. This significantly boosts her AoE damage potential. The upgrade "Shattering Waves" is also worth considering, as it adds a 5% chance for Tidal Surge to break enemy armor, reducing their physical defense by 15% for 2 turns.

Regarding her support ability, "Mending Waters," the upgrade "Restorative Mist" is highly recommended. It increases the healing amount by 20% and grants the target ally a temporary buff that increases their Spirit by 10% for 3 turns, indirectly boosting their healing and magic defense. For Anya's passive, "Ocean's Grace," the upgrade "Evasive Maneuvers" is a strong choice. It increases the evasion chance from 10% to 15% and grants a 5% chance to evade magical attacks as well. Finally, for her ultimate, "Abyssal Barrage," the upgrade "Lingering Depths" is crucial. It increases the duration of the stun effect from 1 turn to 2 turns and adds a lingering "Wet" status effect to all targets hit, setting them up for subsequent Tidal Surges. Prioritizing these upgrades will transform Anya into a potent damage dealer and a reliable support character, especially in challenging encounters like the fight against the Leviathan in the Whispering Depths.
