Is Soldier 0 - Anby good?
An S-rank Electric attacker and the first Aftershock agent. Most of her attacks fill a Silver Star Mark on the enemy, which turns her Special into Azure Flash up to three times; three in a row on one target add Thunder Smite and more Aftershock hits. Version 2.3 buffs and partners like 
Orphie & Magus lifted her further, and she has several teammate options that perform close together.
She relies on Dodge Counters and struggles against passive enemies, wants one or two off-field Aftershock agents such as 
Trigger and Orphie, and has few free W-Engines.
Pairs well with: Trigger; Orphie Magnusson & Magus; 
Ju Fufu.

Background
Suiting up before the big battle. Hmm, a classic movie trope.
Soldier 0 - Anby, formerly introduced as Silver Soldier - Anby, is a playable Agent in Zenless Zone Zero, and the captain of the Defense Force - Silver Squad.
"I don't know... Seeing Anby back in this outfit stirs up such a mess of thoughts.
Memories come rushing in, like a piggy bank full of Dennies smashed open.
As Anby would put it, isn't this what they call...
a montage?"
NICOLE DEMARA
"No desire for praise or adoration, no thirst for blood on your blade...
Could 'hatred' even find its place there?
TRIGGER
"Sixth Street isn't even that big — how has she never crossed paths with that spicy-food-loving girl?!"
GENERAL CHOP
"My despair and longing are merely a curse born from the moment your gaze fell upon me.
You... You will break it, won't you?"
IS IT LIFE? A HOLLOW SHELL? OR MERELY A SIGH IN THE ETERNAL NIGHT?
Silver Soldier - Anby
"Burgers are truly a remarkable food — not just because I love them."
"See? They've got a balanced mix of nutrients, a portable design, and endless creative combinations that all somehow work perfectly."
"I'm convinced that burgers won't lose their value just because they can't go in a hot pot."
"Or... could it be that burgers might actually taste amazing in a hot pot?"
There are two references about Soldier-0 Anby from the tale The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.
The Chinese script of the orignal name of Soldier-0 Anby, is 銀心錫兵.
The description in the trailer, Death and Rebirth, quoted a sentence: "Charge on, charge on, o' brave soldier.
Your only way out is death!" , which is quoted from the story.
Stories
1Agent Profile: Anby
Anby, the original member of Gentle House.
According to the New Eridu resident records, her identity as "Anby Demara" only exists after joining Gentle House, the name obviously being taken from Nicole. Before registering as an employee of Gentle House, all data relating to Anby is suspiciously blank.
Despite her extreme lack of common sense, Anby is well-versed in matters related to combat and is among the strongest combatants of the Cunning Hares.
Anby's greatest interest is movies, of which she likes an extensive range of genres. Due to an excessive obsession, she tends to take the stories in movies as reality.
Contrary to her seemingly emotionless appearance, Anby is easily moved by movie storylines.
Her favorite food is hamburgers because "they contain protein, carbs, and greens, taste good, and are even affordable — there's nothing else besides hamburgers."

Rumors suggest Nicole found Anby near the ruins of the old capital and took her in because she was impressed by her formidable combat abilities.
"It's not because she's strong! I took her in because I'm kind~" — Nicole
Anby's behavior and combat performance suggest she has had military training.
Due to the suspicious gaps in her history, it's advised to maintain a certain level of vigilance towards her.
