Overview
Strengths
- Frozen Soul at Transcend 5 deals 150% additional damage to Frozen targets and grants +25% Attack Speed for 10s while hitting them.
- Apostle of Lust adds +88% Attack, +2 basic-attack targets, and +10% Additional Damage. Her autos become the AoE engine.
- Snowshadow Skybreaker Dance hits all enemies for 1014% Attack and self-buffs Attack Speed by 75% for 10s.
Weaknesses
- Without a reliable Freeze applier the Passive 2 bonus never turns on, and her floor drops hard.
- Story and general PVE sit at B while Freeze uptime is inconsistent across content.
- She wants Freeze partners and crit lines; a naked kit without either underperforms the sheet.

Investment
Extra copies
Prioritize her character card before pouring extras into Transcend. Lingering Allure is the copy that changes how she plays; skill levels come after the card is online.
Transcend stop
Push through Transcend 5, then Awaken if the copies are already there. That is where Frozen Soul and Apostle of Lust finish scaling.

Review
Anessa is a Frost knight in the front row whose kit is built around one condition: Frozen. When that status is up she is a multi-target melee carry. When it is not, she is a generic Attack stacker with a wide basic attack and nothing special about the multiplier.
Frozen Soul is the skill you level first. At Transcend 5 she deals 150% additional damage to Frozen enemies, gains +25% Attack Speed for 10 seconds while attacking them, and marks those targets so they take +15% Additional Damage from her Frozen Soul effect. That is why the skill priority puts Passive 2 above everything else. The rest of the kit feeds into this window.
Apostle of Lust at T5 is +88% Attack, +2 basic-attack targets, and +10% Additional Damage. The added targets matter as much as the Attack: her basics become a three-wide cleave, which is how she clears waves and contests Brawl boards without waiting for cooldowns. Snowshadow Slash is a frontline AoE at 504% Attack on a 10s cooldown: reliable filler between ults. Snowshadow Skybreaker Dance is the big button: 1014% Attack to all enemies, then +75% Attack Speed on herself for 10 seconds on a 34s cooldown. Ult into Frozen Soul uptime is the rotation.
Tier placement tracks Freeze reliability. She sits at S in Brawl, where short fights and status pressure keep Frozen online; A in Raids when a partner can hold the status; and B in PVE / PVP when the condition is sparse. Dian Cecht, Merlin, and Katrin are the usual names next to her for that reason: Freeze and sustain around a frontliner who only spikes when the status is live.
Gear on this site for her is Fragarach (crit damage / Attack %), Warrior Armor (block / crit resist), Glory of the Empire (HP %), and Rune of Focus (crit damage). Cards that show up beside her kit are Lingering Allure, Moonlight Swordplay, and Elgrad Sword Art Journal. Build for crit damage and Attack; the kit already widens her basics and pays out when Frozen is present.
Pull her if you already run Freeze or you live in Brawl. Do not expect the same unit to carry story content where nothing Freezes the front line.
