Is Anton Ivanov good?

An A-rank Electric attacker whose Burst Mode retriggers Shock every 0.5 seconds once he lands 4 crits, one of the strongest ideas on any A-rank. His Mindscapes add a lot: M1 extends Burst Mode and M4 gives the team Crit Rate after his Chain Attack or Ultimate.

Most of his damage depends on keeping enemies Shocked and on staying in Burst Mode, which makes him very Energy-hungry, and he has few good teammates outside S-ranks.

Strengths

  • Retriggers Shock during Burst Mode
  • Strong Mindscapes
  • M4 gives the team Crit Rate

Weaknesses

  • Needs enemies kept Shocked
  • Very Energy-hungry
  • Few good teammates outside S-ranks

Agent Profile: Anton

Anton is a key member of construction staff at Belobog Industries and one of Koleda's trusted aides.

"Got a job you can't handle? Leave it to me!"

Anton is one of the top brass at Belobog, handpicked by its former president Khors, which makes him a "senior employee."

A genuine, straightforward man, always boosting the morale of his coworkers with his surplus of energy.

Apart from this, it seems Anton is always talking to his jackhammer, affectionately calling it, "Bro."

An instance from Anton’s everyday life goes like this:

Anton, seemingly in dialogue with himself, asks, "Whaddaya think, Bro?"

The jackhammer replies, "Vroom vroom vroom—"

Anton, apparently enlightened, responds, "I see, I see! You still got it, Bro!"

Unfortunately, I have not collected enough information on such occurrences and am not able to deliver further analysis.

Here is a video recording depicting Anton's life:

Late at night at the construction site, Anton gazes down at his jackhammer and mutters to himself, "Dang, this is exhausting, Bro..."

As the jackhammer buzzed to life, Anton nodded in acknowledgment. "No, a real one doesn't complain about being tired! Thanks for reminding me, buddy! You can never back down from a challenge!"

The truth is, Anton had set up demanding tasks for the construction workers, hoping to push them to their limits and unlock their true potential. However, witnessing their struggles and diminishing confidence, he couldn't bear to see them suffer any longer, so he secretly completed all the tasks in the dead of night.

In the end, Anton became the one who accepted all the trials.

* Anton's beloved "bro," aka his jackhammer, appears to have a connection to his former colleagues.

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

Anton keeps saying he's the "second-best driller in the company."

So... who's the first?

Wise

I think it's the heavy drill machine from their company. I've heard him say something like "I gotta win next time" against it.
