Is Jane Doe good?

Jane Doe hits hard with wide Assault attacks that can crit, moves around the battlefield quickly, and her Ultimate adds crowd control on top, making her strong against groups of enemies. She's dead weight against anything without an Anomaly Meter though, and her best team setups aren't especially F2P-friendly.

We rank her A tier, and her signature W-Engine, Sharpened Stinger, stands out for the anomaly proficiency and buildup rate it adds, though any W-Engine with anomaly proficiency works reasonably well.

Pairs well with: Velina; Remielle; Seth; Yuzuha.

Strengths

  • Assault attacks hit hard and can land critical hits
  • Very mobile, making her comfortable to reposition with
  • Ultimate adds crowd control against groups
  • Wide attacks make her strong against multiple enemies at once

Weaknesses

  • Does nothing against enemies without an Anomaly Meter
  • Her strongest team compositions aren't cheap to build

Background

This time we're going to introduce Emma...

Err, wait... I mean Kylie! No, that's not quite right...

Apparently, there's another archive that is a little different.

Is it perhaps... Jane? Last I heard it was Anne!

Jane: "I didn't expect you to know me so well.

I'm delighted! Well, truth be told, it's all true!"

"Well, last time was last time! This time, I'm telling the truth.

Trust me~"

Jane Doe

What am I? A cat Thiren. You bet I'm the real deal.

"*sigh*... Having such a rare lineage used to give me quite a headache."

"Why would I lie to you? Meow~

Impressions

She seems to always be busy at night...

Is Jane a bystander who acted on accident, or a mastermind who planned it all...?

Agent Profile: Jane

Jane, a criminal behavior specialist, has had a "colorful" career as a consultant with Public Security over the years.

She is an expert in disguise, infiltration, and other investigative work.

She has a bad habit of trolling others and sometimes plays harmless pranks.

She's a skilled mimic, able to change her appearance and demeanor at will, making people wonder what the "real" Jane is like.

Jane has a wealth of life experience and can seamlessly blend into any environment, as though she has dabbled in everything there is to do.

However, if you ask her for any further details, she’ll give you a different story every time.

Who knows which, if any, are true.

Note 1: Jane does not know our true identity. Do not reveal this to her under any circumstances.

Note 2: Despite "Jane Doe" being an obvious alias, we haven’t found any information about her real or former name.

This is not my problem. My guess is that her true identity has been completely erased due to her special status.

Let me reiterate: This is not my problem.

Jane is a total night owl. She loves working the night shift and is most alive after dark.

She's also a bit of a hoarder, constantly filling her home with stuff (usually a bunch of junk food).

The pouch at her waist might look like a makeup bag, but it's actually her toolkit, packed with all the "essentials" for her work.

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

Fairy, you don't have to reiterate anything. We've all come to terms with Jane's name being Jane.

Wise

I mean, it's far from the worst name we've seen…
