Key Features of Jane Doe

How to get Jane Doe

In the second phase of version 1.1 (September 4), this special operative of the criminal investigation department of the Security Service appeared in banner, which increased the probability of its drop. In the future, this character can only be obtained through Signal Search. Unfortunately, HoYoverse has never held an event in which the reward would be a 5-star fighter, so it is definitely not possible to get the rat for free.

Key Characteristics of Jane Doe

Jane Doe's abilities and their upgrade priority

You can read about the heroine's abilities in the game itself, so we decided to add it under the spoiler so as not to increase the size of the article. We also recommend that you study our combat system guide, to better understand it.

As for pumping up the heroine's talents , then the priority should be the inclinations and evasions, as they are the main source of her damage. Next in importance are basic and special attacks (thereby increasing her overall DPS).

Once you've maxed out these abilities, you can move on to upgrading chains of hits (ulta), increasing Jane's overall damage. Upgrade Assist last, as it's noticeably less useful than other abilities.

Mental Picture of Jane Doe

To open it, you need to accumulate Agent Profiles, which are given out when duplicates of the heroine fall out, which, of course, is random. Considering the small chance of getting 5-star characters, you will need to spend a lot of time and money to unlock all the mental girls. However, even without them, Jane can easily play the role of main DD.

The table below lists all the mental abilities, their descriptions and benefits for the heroine.

If you still decide to try your luck, you can stop at M1 and M2 , thanks to which you can significantly increase the overall damage of Jane Doe. If you have a choice between a starting mental weapon and a signature weapon, we advise you to take the second option, since the signature will bring more benefits.

How to play as Jane Doe

Basic combinations

Its gameplay is built around the accumulation of the "Tide of Excitement" scale (it is located in the upper left corner of the screen) and the transition to the "Madness of Excitement" state (the bar turns red), which increases the heroine's damage and accelerates the accumulation of anomaly in enemies. You can collect the scale by the following actions:

• Any damage-dealing moves are not the most effective, as the buildup is relatively slow and Jane's damage will be relatively small.
• A chain of attacks and a super ability - immediately fill the scale to the maximum, allowing you to instantly go into a strengthened state. But before this, you first need to stun the enemy or accumulate decibels, so this method can be considered situational.
• Dodges are a good option, as each successful dodge fills the bar by about 15-20%. If you add counters here, you can completely fill the bar in 4 dodges.
• Defensive Assist is the best option, as it instantly fills the bar to 69%. All you need to do is perform 1-2 dodges to enter the enhanced mode. So we recommend that you start the fight with an ally (like Seth), and then use Assist to switch to Jane and activate Gaming Madness almost instantly. The gif below shows an example of this tactic.

In "Madness of Excitement" do not start mindlessly beating all enemies left and right, otherwise you will quickly use up the corresponding scale. The thing is that you can extend its action. The main way to do this is Salchow technique , which you can only perform once per "Madness of Excitement" (if you don't have M1). It restores about 30% of the bar.

Note that when "Salchow" is active, the heroine takes 40% less damage, and during the execution of the finishing blow, she becomes completely invulnerable. So if you see that the enemy is about to perform an attack, then simply release the attack button to avoid taking damage. You can find out that you can perform "Salchow" by the red flashing button located to the right of the "Tide of Excitement" bar.

The second method of restoring the scale involves using perfect evasion - it restores about 20% of the bar, and subsequent counterattacks spend relatively few points. Let's add that immediately after the counterattack, when switching to normal attacks, you will immediately carry out the 5th and 6th hits of the chain, during which the heroine is also invulnerable.

Therefore, we recommend that you always use Salchow after entering the "Frenzy of Excitement" and use mostly dodges followed by counterattacks and two normal attacks to extend the duration of the enhanced mode as much as possible. You can also activate enhanced special attacks when they are ready. In general, the rotation will look like this:

1. Build up Excitement Rush with Dodges or Defense Assist to quickly transition into Excitement Frenzy.
2. Start using perfect dodges followed by counterattacks and 2 normal attacks to deal maximum damage to enemies and maintain the enhanced mode. When ready, use enhanced special attacks.
3. When the Thrill Rush gauge drops below half, use Salchow to deal additional damage and extend the duration of Thrill Madness again.
4. Let's remember that the ult can instantly enter the "Madness of Excitement" or completely restore its scale, so use the super ability either when the bar approaches 0 or if it is blue.

Advanced Combinations

The information above should be enough to deal massive damage to your enemies as Jane. However, if you want to maximize her potential, you can try learning some advanced techniques. For example, after dodging, you can press the attack and assist buttons at the same time to perform two attacks at once, dealing massive damage to your opponent.

If you have a support in your team that can boost Jane, such as Seth, try to use quick help in the "Frenzy of Excitement" mode. For example, the cat-boy will be able to give the rat an Unwavering Shield, which will increase her knowledge of the anomaly. However, such a technique will not increase the "Frenzy of Excitement" scale, which is why you will have to monitor it even more carefully.

As for the enhanced special attack, it is great for invoking Chaos. For example, you can invoking Shock with Grace's attacks, and then perform an enhanced E to trigger Chaos and deal massive damage.

However, you should be careful when using this technique when the enemy's Anomaly bar is fully accumulated (the circle next to his health bar). The thing is that in this case, the enhanced special attack will not give an additional anomaly, and it will simply go nowhere.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Jane Doe

With the help of its unique abilities, the rat can inflict significant physical damage to both single targets and large groups of enemies. Its advantages also include:

• A very mobile character, even without the "Madness of Excitement" state activated, as he can make as many as 3 dashes instead of 2.
• Capable of accumulating physical Anomaly extremely quickly and consistently, resulting in very frequent "Onslaught" activations.
• Can cause Onslaught to critically damage an enemy, an additional multiplier that is not available to any other Anomaly hero at the time of Jane's release.
• Deals massive damage both on and off the field (during attack chains and defensive assists), making her a valuable damage dealer throughout the entire battle.
• A skilled player can extend her "Frenzy of Excitement" almost indefinitely through dodges and other abilities, keeping her in enhanced mode at all times.
• She can easily play the role of a hypercarry or combine with other Anomaly damage dealers in Chaos squads, which significantly increases her flexibility when building teams and makes her a very promising heroine for the future.
• Has wide sweeping attacks, so can deal damage to several enemies at once and control the crowd.
• Increasing the Knowledge of the Anomaly also increases the Attack Power in the "Madness of Excitement" state, which makes its assembly much easier, since you can pay attention to fewer characteristics.
• She is able to perform her main role perfectly even without opening the Mental Picture, which will certainly appeal to F2P players.

However, it is still impossible to call Jane an ideal character, since she also has her drawbacks:

• Its gameplay, with the need to constantly build up the "Gambling Rush" meter, can feel a bit tedious, especially if you can't maintain "Gambling Frenzy" for long.
• The heroine's effectiveness drops significantly when fighting enemies that do not have an Anomaly scale. Fortunately, there are few such opponents in the game.
• Loses significant power if unable to obtain enough Anomaly Knowledge to increase its attack power and other stats.
• Sometimes she may lose a large amount of damage due to the anomaly bar recharging (remember that her enhanced special attack does not cause the next bar to accumulate).

Best build for Jane Doe

The best amplifiers

The table below presents the most interesting options.

Best Drive Discs

As for main characteristics of drives , then your selection should look like this:

• IV-sector: knowledge of anomaly.
• V-sector: Physical damage bonus (priority) or penetration chance%.
• VI-sector: anomaly control (priority) or attack power%.
• Substats: Anomaly Knowledge > Attack Power% > Penetration Chance

If we talk about recommended values of parameters Jane , then they should look something like this:

• Attack: 2400-2900 units
• Health: 9000+
• Defense: 800+
• Knowledge of anomaly: 360-420 units (at 420 units you will be able to get an additional 600 units of attack power)
• Anomaly Control: 150-195 units

Best Commands for Jane Doe

F2P team

Unfortunately, Jane doesn't have any synergy with any of the free characters, so she won't be able to activate her extra ability with them, but Nicole will allow you to reduce enemy defense, and Enby will effectively stun them and trigger attack chains for a quick activation of "Frenzy of Excitement". You can use this option for now, but it is advisable to quickly move on to at least the next squad.

Newbie Team

A noticeable improvement over the previous squad, as it allows Jane to use her additional ability. She also gets a noticeable buff from Seth and can increase Piper's Charge. Both of her companions are epic, making them easier to obtain and level up.

Command for Onslaught

In both variants, Seth is a great support, helping to activate Jane's additional ability, increase her Knowledge of Anomaly, and reduce the resistance to the accumulation of Anomaly in enemies.

As for Nekomata, she would be a great ally for Jane, making it easier for her to apply Charge to enemies by increasing the effectiveness of her enhanced special attacks.

As for Rina, she can give Jane a significant bonus to her penetration chance, thereby increasing her Onslaught damage. However, without M1, the maid's buff duration is rather short. If Rina is not available, you can try taking Lucy instead, who can give Jane a 600 attack buff.

Command on Chaos

As we noted above, Jane pairs well with Grace, as the latter can help inflict Chaos on enemies. It is enough to first cast Shock on them, and then switch to the rat and bring their physical anomaly to the limit (often one enhanced special attack is enough for this).

Any of the characters listed above will do as a support. We have already listed their advantages for Jane above. We will add that other squads will appear in this section in the future when the developers add new Anomaly characters to the game.
