Jane Doe's main gameplay mechanic revolves around entering the Passion state by filling her Passion stream. While in the Passion state, her Physical Anomaly build rate increases by 25%, causing her to deal attack damage much faster.

The Passion State depletes quickly. Triggering perfect dodges, defensive assists, and Salchow jumps in the Passion State regenerates and maintains the Passion Stream.

Her W-Engine should provide Anomaly Proficiency points so she can use her game mechanics. Here is a review of the best W-Engines for Jane Doe.

W-ENGINE STATISTICS W-ENGINE EFFECTS
Sharpened sting Base ATK: 714
Anomaly Competence: 90
Give in to the hunt: When you activate a dash attack, you gain 1 stack of Predatory Instinct. Each stack of Predatory Instinct increases the wearer's physical damage by 12% for 10 seconds. Stacks up to 3 times.

This effect can be triggered every 0.5 seconds and repeated triggers reset the duration.

When you enter combat or trigger Perfect Dodge, you gain 3 stacks of Predatory Instinct. While Predatory Instinct has the maximum number of stacks, the Equipment Builder's Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 40%.

Electric lip gloss Base ATK: 594
Anomaly Competence: 75
Kiss of Death: If there are enemies with an attribute anomaly on the field, the wielder of this skill increases the ATK by 16% and deals an additional 25% more damage to the target.
Crying twins Base ATK: 594
ANG: 25%
Lingering screams: Whenever a squad member inflicts an attribute anomaly on an enemy, the outfitter receives a buff that increases anomaly competence by 42, stacking up to 4 times.

This effect expires when the target recovers from the stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Rainforest Gourmet Base ATK: 594
Anomaly Competence: 75
Dinner is ready!: For every 10 Energy spent, the Outfitter gains a buff that increases ATK by 3.6% for 10 seconds, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Fusion Compiler Base ATK: 684
PEN ratio: 24%
Flood of data: Increases ATK by 21%. When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the Equipment Builder's Anomaly Skill is increased by 43 for 8 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Sharpened Stinger is perfect for Jane Doe as it increases her physical damage and significantly improves her Anomaly build rate. The stackable Predatory Instinct makes her Dash Attacks a powerhouse, providing consistently massive attack damage. At maximum stacks, Anomaly build rate increases by 40%.

Electro-Lip Gloss is an excellent alternative for players looking for a strong W-Engine via the Battlepass. The additional damage boost against enemies with attribute anomalies makes this a strong option.

For the free-to-play option, Weeping Gemini offers Anomaly Proficiency Points, which Jane can use to further increase her attack damage without relying on premium W-Engines.

It's especially fun for free-to-play players who like to see high attack damage numbers. However, like most A-class W engines, it has some availability issues, making it better suited to longer battles.

Rainforest Gourmet is another free option. Players can easily manage her buff using her EX Special, which provides a strong and consistent ATK boost. However, there is some downtime, meaning her performance can fall short of her signature W engine.

Fusion Compiler is an alternative S-rank W-Engine for Jane. It provides a solid ATK boost and improves Anomaly Proficiency with each Special or EX Special attack. However, it is difficult to maintain full stacks of Fusion Compiler, so only consider this if you have no other options.

Drive Discs that grant Jane Anomaly Proficiency increase her attack damage. Once her Anomaly Proficiency exceeds 120 points, each additional point increases her ATK by two, with a cap of 600, allowing her to deal even more damage in battle.

Her abilities focus on maximizing the damage she can deal in short bursts and taking advantage of her high build of physical anomalies. To optimize her performance, it's important to choose the right Drive Discs that fit her gameplay mechanics.

JANE DOE DRIVE DISC Drive Disk Description
Metal with fangs 2-piece: Increases physical damage by 20%.

4-piece: When a squad member attacks an enemy, the Outfitter deals 35% additional damage to the target for 12 seconds.

Freedom Blues 2-piece: Increases Anomaly Competency by 30.

4-piece: When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, the target's Anomaly Build RES on the equipper's attribute is reduced by 20% for 8 seconds. This effect does not stack with other effects of the same attribute.

Hormonpunk 2-piece: Increases ATK by 10%.

4-piece: When entering battle or switching in, the user's ATK is increased by 25% for 10 seconds. This effect can be triggered once every 20 seconds.

Buffer Electro 2-part: Increases the PEN ratio by 8%.

4-part: Ultimate damage is increased by 20%. Casting an ultimate increases the outfitter's ATK by 15% for 12 seconds.

For Jane Doe's best physical and anomalous build, the 4-piece Fanged Metal set is highly recommended. This set is perfect for increasing her raw damage, especially when Jane triggers attack damage on her opponent.

To complement this set, you can combine it with either a 2-piece Freedom Blues for an Anomaly Proficiency boost or a 2-piece Hormone Punk to boost her Attack by 10%.

Alternatively, players who want to focus more on Jane Doe's penetration damage can also combine the 4-piece Fanged Metal with the 2-piece Puffer Electro. The additional penetration ratio damage provides additional penetration effects, allowing her to bypass defenses and deal greater attack damage.
