Best party partners
Slot Anubis beside a Pal that covers the Dark weakness chart at /elements, so a single swap answers whatever resists you. Keep one flyer for traversal and one Handiwork Pal for field crafting alongside it.
How to fight a wild Anubis
Open from behind for the backstab multiplier, keep its Volt Cannon, Earth Fissure, Earth Fissure, Thunder Bolt on cooldown by circling, and use the /damage calculator to confirm your weapon clears its 86 DEF before you commit ammo.
PvP notes
Anubis is a niche PvP pick — bring it for the Nightmare Whisper partner skill rather than raw stats. Ranked lobbies punish single-element teams, so never stack two Dark Pals.
Boss and raid use
Against tower and raid bosses, Anubis performs best with a same-type damage move plus a shield-breaking partner. Check the raid rotation notes on /guides before committing a full team.
