At a glance

Jane is an on-field Physical Anomaly damage dealer. She builds Physical Anomaly and benefits from triggering Assault against enemies she has hit. Her attacks apply Gnawed for 10 seconds, letting Assault damage critically hit and extending the Flinch caused by Assault.

Her fighting rhythm revolves around the Passion state. Deal damage and use well-timed dodges to build Passion Stream, then keep attacking while managing the gauge. Anomaly Proficiency improves her Assault critical rate and can also give her ATK during Passion.

Guide

How the kit works

Start with Basic Attack: Dancing Blades or another damaging move. Passion (Basic) builds Passion Stream when Jane deals damage, triggers a Perfect Dodge or uses a Defensive Assist. At maximum Stream she enters Passion: her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate rises by 25%, and each point of Anomaly Proficiency above 120 gives her 2 ATK, up to 600 ATK.

Entering Passion grants one use of Basic Attack: Salchow Jump. Hold the attack button for consecutive strikes and release for the Finishing Move. While the consecutive strikes are active, Jane has increased Anti-Interrupt and takes 40% less damage; she is invulnerable during the Finishing Move. Hitting an enemy with it in Passion generates Stream.

Damaging skills consume Stream in Passion, while Perfect Dodge and Defensive Assist restore it. Dodge: Phantom lets Jane pass through enemies in Passion. Follow a Perfect Dodge with Dodge Counter: Swift Shadow Dance for an invulnerable counter.

Use EX Special Attack: Aerial Sweep - Clearout (Special) when you have enough Energy; Jane is invulnerable during it. Chain Attack: Flowers of Sin and Ultimate: Final Curtain both put her directly into Passion with maximum Stream. They are useful ways to enter the state when available.

Core Passive: Insight applies Gnawed on hit. Against a Gnawed enemy, Assault has 40% base CRIT Rate and 50% CRIT DMG; each point of Jane's Anomaly Proficiency adds 0.16% to that CRIT Rate. Additional Ability: Sore Spot activates with another Anomaly character or a character from Jane's faction, increasing her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate by 20%. Against an enemy already affected by an Attribute Anomaly, her Physical Anomaly Buildup is increased by another 15%.

Build and why

Use four pieces of Fanged Metal and two pieces of Freedom Blues. Fanged Metal gives 10% Physical DMG and, after a squad member inflicts Assault, 35% more damage to that target for 12 seconds. Freedom Blues adds 30 Anomaly Proficiency, which helps both Insight and the ATK gain in Passion.

Puffer Electro is an alternative two-piece to consider for 8% PEN Ratio. Its four-piece bonuses focus on Ultimate damage and ATK after an Ultimate, so they do not fit Jane's Assault focus as directly as Fanged Metal.

Choose Anomaly Proficiency on disc 4, Physical DMG Bonus or Percent ATK on disc 5, and Anomaly Mastery on disc 6. For substats, look for Anomaly Proficiency first, then Percent ATK.

Sharpened Stinger is the first weapon choice. Dash Attacks build its Physical DMG stacks, while entering combat or triggering Perfect Dodge gives all three; at maximum stacks it also grants 40% Anomaly Buildup Rate. Practiced Perfection is next: it gives Anomaly Mastery and gains Physical DMG stacks through Assault, starting combat with both stacks. Weeping Gemini is another option, gaining Anomaly Proficiency when the squad inflicts Attribute Anomaly.

Leveling priority

Follow the game's order: raise Core Passive: Insight first for the Assault mechanic, then Basic Attack: Dancing Blades for Jane's frequent attacks. Next come Special Attack: Aerial Sweep and Chain Attack: Flowers of Sin, followed by Dodge: Phantom and Quick Assist: Dark Thorn (Assist).

For maximum ascension, prepare 800,000 Denny, 4 Basic Anomaly Certification Seal, 32 Advanced Anomaly Certification Seal and 30 Controller Certification Seal.

Raising all skills to the maximum takes 2,905,000 Denny, 25 Basic Physical Chip, 75 Advanced Physical Chip, 250 Specialized Physical Chip, 5 Hamster Cage Pass, 9 Ferocious Grip and 60 Higher Dimensional Data: Falling Fist.

Mindscapes worth it

For impact, a suggested order to consider is M6, M2, then M1. "Shady" Technique adds CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG in Passion. Any squad member's Assault immediately fills Passion Stream and puts Jane in Passion; if that Assault critically hits, Jane also attacks for Physical DMG equal to 1,600% of her Anomaly Proficiency.

Adapt to the Environment ignores 15% of enemy DEF when Jane hits a Gnawed target or a squad member triggers Assault on one. It also adds 50% CRIT DMG when Assault critically hits. Crime Counsel increases the maximum uses of Basic Attack: Salchow Jump by one and gives extra Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate and damage in Passion.

Common mistakes

Do not let Passion Stream run out without watching for a chance to dodge. Damaging moves spend the gauge, but Perfect Dodge and Defensive Assist restore it. A Salchow Jump that hits an enemy in Passion also generates Stream, so use the attack you gain on entering the state.

Do not build only for ordinary CRIT stats and ignore Anomaly Proficiency. The Assault critical rate against Gnawed enemies has its own base value and scales with Jane's Anomaly Proficiency. That stat also feeds her Passion ATK bonus above 120.

Check the team condition before starting a fight. A Support or Defense character does not activate Sore Spot by specialty alone; Jane needs another Anomaly character or a teammate from her faction. Also remember that the extra 15% Physical Anomaly Buildup applies only when the target already has an Attribute Anomaly.
