Tanya

Preferred IV: +ATK or +SPD / -HP

• Ideally, Tanya wants to increase her raw damage output or ability to perform follow-up attacks with an Attack or Speed asset respectively. HP is her best choice of flaw, as it affects her performance the least and allows her to preserve her other stats.

Weapon: Firesweep Bow / Shining Bow(+SPD)

• The Firesweep Bow stops counterattacks from all foes without Null C disrupt when Tanya initiates combat, allowing her to focus on maximizing her offensive prowess while circumventing her middling overall bulk.

• Tanya can also use her native Shining Bow to good effect, as it grants her an additional +7 Damage if the foe’s Defense exceeds their Resistance.

Assist: Reposition / Preference

Special: Luna

• Luna is Tanya’s best choice of Special, as it allows her to break through bulky foes easier when it triggers in addition to charging reasonably quickly.

Passive A: Swift Sparrow 2 or 3 / Fury 3

• Swift Sparrow 3 is a fantastic A slot for a Player Phase centric build, as it grants the user a substantial boost to their Attack and Speed on Player Phase without any drawbacks. Swift Sparrow 2 is also a decent choice on a budget, though not as strong.

• Fury 3 can also be used on a budget to provide a similar offensive bonus while also granting Tanya some additional bulk, which can be useful should she need to take a hit.

Passive B: Lull Spd/Def / Chill Def

• Lull Spd/Def reduces the foe’s Speed and Defense by 3 in addition to negating their buffs in these stats, allowing Tanya to circumvent the Foe’s Defensive buffs and perform follow-up attacks with greater ease.

• Chill Def can also be used to inflict a -7 Defense debuff to the foe with the highest Defense, increasing Tanya and her team’s damage output against the afflicted enemy.

Passive C: Spur Spd/Res 2 / Preference

• Spur Spd/Res 2 gives Tanya some supportive utility when she isn’t attacking, but her choice of C slot skill is largely up to player preference.

Sacred Seal: Darting Blow / Atk/Spd 2

• Darting Blow grants Tanya an additional +6 Speed when initiating combat, giving her even greater consistency in securing follow-up attacks.

• Atk/Spd 2 can also be used to grant Tanya a visible boost to her Attack and Speed.

Preferred IV: +ATK / -HP

• For a defensive build, Tanya should increase her raw damage output with an Attack asset to maximize her enemy phase KO potential. HP is the chosen flaw to preserve Tanya’s defenses.

Weapon: Guard Bow(+RES)

• The Guard Bow is Tanya’s best option for a defensive build as it grants her a massive boost to her Defense and Resistance when attacked by ranged foes, adding considerably to her durability during Enemy Phase.

Assist: Reposition / Preference

Special: Luna / Aether

• Luna is still a fantastic choice of special, giving Tanya an easier time breaking through bulkier foes when it activates while also sporting a reasonably fast cooldown.

• Aether can also be used if self healing is desired, but this comes at the cost of an incredibly long cooldown.

Passive A: Distant Def 4 / Warding Stance 4

• Distant Defense 4 grants Tanya a massive +9 boost to her Defense and Resistance in addition to the effect of Dull Ranged when attacked by long range foes, making her even more effective as a ranged tank.

• Warding Stance 4 is also an excellent choice, as it provides a massive boost to Tanya’s Resistance in addition to the Guard effect, which lets her counter Special reliant foes.

Passive B: Null C Disrupt / Mystic Boost / Quick Riposte

• Null C Disrupt guarantees Tanya’s counterattacks, even against foes who possess Firesweep weapons or Dazzling Staff, letting her solidly counter ranged foes who rely on Firesweep’s protection to avoid counterattacks.

• Mystic Boost grants Tanya some much appreciated self healing by restoring 6 of her HP after combat while also nullifying adaptive damage and Wrathful Staff, although in most scenarios countering and KOing the Staff user with Null C Disrupt would be preferable.

• Finally, Quick Riposte can be used on a budget to guarantee Follow-ups during Enemy Phase.

Passive C: Atk Smoke / Preference

• Atk Smoke inflicts a -7 Attack debuff to all foes within 2 spaces after combat, increasing Tanya’s Enemy Phase durability further.

Sacred Seal: Distant Def / Swift Stance

• Distant Def makes for an excellent choice of Sacred Seal, increasing Tanya’s Defenses significantly when attacked at range.

• Swift Stance is a decent alternative to increase Tanya’s Speed and Resistance during the Enemy Phase.
