Starborne: Frontiers – Builds for Anomalies

How to Deal with Anomalies

Antimatter Anomaly

• Antimatter 12 first clear (31 secs) – with more obtainable ships.
• Heliodor M4, Meiying B1, Sentinel B2, Butcher B3, Salvation B4
• Heliodor tanks and cleanses the bombs. Butcher/Meiying can be replaced with any skip or back targetting attackers.
• If you don’t have Sentinel, use Volk.

Boss dies fast – round 3 every time.

Chemical Anomaly

• Chemical 12 – First clear, 30 secs, with more obtainable ships.
• Valerian T2, Meiying M2, Salvation M3, Shepherd M4, Butcher B4.
• This boss takes full damage from corrosion, but note the affinity disadvantage Valerian has against him. For 100% on Lvl 12, think its 320 Hacking.
• Top Saboteur isn’t killed, but Valerian self heals.

If you don’t have Valerian, use Wisteria (and may want to use her instead anyway – no affinity disadvantage, so a lot less Hacking required).

The other two attackers can swap to any attackers with back or skip targetting.

Electric Anomaly

Here’s a different approach based on Oleander. This clears level 12 consistently.

• Meiying T4, Panguan M1, Oleander M3, Xcellence M4, Butcher B4.
• Formation dependent on Oleander’s heal range.
• Panguan back middle so her bombs help kill the top & bottom leeches. If you don’t have her, Valerian works just as well here.

Xcellence on his own to kill the middle leech – but has time because that leech skip targets and is hitting Oleander. Xcellence also bypasses bosses shield, hits hard. (Luxx is worth trying on this boss for same reason.

Meiying & Butcher can be swapped for any other attacker with Back or Skip targetting.

Thermal Anomaly

• Thermal 12 – first clear, 50 secs, with more obtainable ships.
• Butcher T1, Meiying M1, Shepherd M4, Valerian B1, Oleander B2
• Oleander heals everyone except Butcher and buffs Valerians Corrosion damage.
• Valerian (can use Wisteria instead) is hitting boss as well as bottom defender.

Meiying can be replaced by any back or skip targetting attacker (or Apex).
