Why do you want to nerf an héro ? Anne os a good défensive one, but she will be dépassés soon.
All thé ons who wants a nerf forget that it could be their plus good méta héro. And big pay to win Will Always have an incredible adva’ce to you. You will juste penalize thé one who juste have her. Némésis for exemple or Horus , are much insane in attack when younhave 3 or 4 or them. New Heroes will be soon better, and accept your limit. This game will be only frustration for you otherwilds
no more doubts. Anne should SLOW n Barbarian Class .
this hero is really ridiculous. not balanced. too OP. has been widely used in the top 100 as well. time to nerf @Petri
Well, let’s see, Anne is Fast while checks notes yup, none of my taunters, overhealers, or cleansers are. (And even if I did have any, if Anne is tanking, a Fast tank will often still get the opportunity to fire before Fast attackers.)
My theoretical best potential counter ability is from Hanitra, but dodge (especially on offense) is an unreliable counter, and it also leaves me bringing yellow against a problematic yellow hero.
My actual best counter is “bring at least 3 purple and pray for tile damage,” which is generally even less effective than it sounds. (Doubleplustrue because oh look, Anne’s a Fighter so even successfully wiping her with tile damage has an approximately 140% chance of filling her mana bar, watching her self-resurrect, and taking her fire anyway.)
I was playing against her and she isn’t definitely the biggest trouble I was having with. She’s quite susceptible to blind and I use Peridot though so take that into consideration. But the likes of Sobek or Miriam and Midnight are giving me more trouble. I have her also and LBed her and I can say blind and dodge are bane of her as well. Unlike for AoE like Sobek she won’t continue if she misses - this is also thing with Khufu. Another advantage to go with 3 Ninjas against her.
Also don’t think she’ll get nerf yet because she is not as frequent on defense as I would think. During W3K I also didn’t see a lot of her. MaM is much more frequent, which is why I think those get hit with nerf bat soon. But I am derailing a bit.
She may never get a nerf, new heroes to come out are just as OP or more so. The devs have “solved nerfs” by just making most new heroes OP

Come on! They nerfed Vela and Telluria so hard, that they “cant” be used anymore, and now we should stop asking for a nerf because other people maxed their new OP-heroes out? Come, on! Thats just silly. Anne is way OP, and so is Khufu (And I have him). Anne should be nerfed hard. She is even OP is they changed her to average speed.
Long boring battle with Anne firing 5 times. A few lucky breaks for both the defense and the offense.
Looks like it’s time to level my second copy of Anne…
Wtf…this card has fast charge…what will come next?
3 month ago anne will be bad in 2 month just wait a little
Its already happening. I’m already seeing some of the whales saying this is too much for them. This game will be dead in 18 months
Anne is crazy unbelievably OP, but I’m still against nerfs. There are better ways to achieve balance than screwing over the players that have invested time and resources into the hero.
Agreed. I get annoyed playing against Anne, M&M, and a couple others, but I dont want players to not have what they paid for. For the record I think I have maybe 2 of the top 10 heroes in the game, so I am not saying this because I have these great heroes. Plus, they keep releasing even more OP heroes on a daily basis. Anne might be OP today, but it is very possible that in a month she will be outclassed by another Holy hero. In fact, she may be outclassed already.
I can deal with 2 anne on defense easily you can prepare heal or taunt guardian panther decimated your team i can’t deal with guardian panther and i don’t see anne op on defense at all She overated on here waterpipe panther jove event ogima are way more over power im a master player myriam and midnight is not op only a player like me with every hero see who are op
Even if true, “oh no, Anne may already only be the second (third?) most powerful yellow hero in the game” doesn’t mean that she’s not problematic/OP/however one wants to put it.
“But but but Musketeers” isn’t an argument that Anne isn’t OP, it’s an argument that we are arguably getting an ever-increasing number of increasingly OP heroes.
The very best of most recent heroes are, maybe, briefly, “balanced” in the sense of “someone who has all the best of the most recent heroes might counterbalance any given A+++ hero.”
I’m not saying that Anne is a unique problem, quite the opposite. But at some point, I’m not sure how “we’re just going to release even more ridiculous heroes in four nanoseconds” is necessarily less of a nerf to the the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses crowd than “we reduced the strongest aspects of this hero by, like, maybe 10%.”
(I mean, look at Treevil: he got nerfed…somewhat…and is still pretty arguably king of any 3* Rush tourney where he’s not specifically disallowed.)
Yeah, it’s not great that people spent money/game resources/time/etc trying to get and max out Anne if they then have to see her nerfed, but…
…it’s also not great that people spent spent all that on Anne only to see Musketeers or Super Ultra Mega Monstrous Elemental Challenge Uber Whoopie whatever heroes potentially outmode her either…
…never mind the folks who’ve spent money/gamestuff/time gaining and maxing out, oh, Caitlin or Akkorog or Odin or Poseidon or Guinevere and who have had their investments effectively nerfed/trampled/pick-your-metaphor-here?
The difference in the latter cases is arguably it used to take longer for heroes to become “obsolete” — and I suppose one could argue that the increasing trend toward roster-depth events is supposed to make “old” heroes still useful. Just… “old” maybe used to mean more like “two or three years out of date” and less like “soooo six months ago.”
You know guys, Ursena completely neutralizes Anne, especially since she’s not a ranger so she’s powerless against that yellow reflect. At least Jove is a ranger so there’s a chance the reflect gets bypassed
Obviously Ursena is average against Anne’s fast, and also her stats are really lagging behind in 2022 even with a costume. But still, I can’t help but wonder if it’s time to dust off some old heroes who are already perfectly good counters apart from aging stats and slower speeds…
When Anne first came out, i didnt think I’d ever get her and when i did, it was a miracle. That event where she was featured, it was a 1% chance to get her so the likelihood of fighting her in a raid ideally shouldve been pretty small. But i digress:
I personally dont think she is as OP as some others, but she can be really hard to fight because of who shes really surrounded by. I do feel like if they truly wanted to balance the game, they’d make at least one hero be a direct counter to another. Dodge and counterattack are your best friends going against Anne and there are plenty of those
EDIT
Me personally, as tempting as it is to have a powerhouse like Anne maxed, i think I may actually max costume Drake Fong for his blind. I have the emblems to fully max a monk so he can potentially be a pest with Costume Alaise. So attack down, blind, dodge, counterattack, plenty of ways to survive a hit from her.
This is the best counter. To Khufu as well. There’s just not much room for slow heroes anymore. The Meta is fast / very fast defense. Also on offense. If you can get six tiles and three heroes to fire at the same time. One of which has a defense down, it’s a win.
Her and Khufu are the only reason why Thor has become more useful for me. Bai Yeong has a better blind for sure, but I find that VF sometimes very necessary to get off before Anne fires as fast is often too slow with many boards.
Arguably the best defense is reflect, but good luck getting that for every color you’d like. (A big problem with counterattack is the smug satisfaction of watching Khufu et al blow themselves up quickly turning to the taste of ashes when you realize your entire team is still dead.)
Taunt would probably be the next-best defense, but… it’s very often slower than dodge; on the other hand, when it fires, taunt does work whilst dodge might work.
…and none of this helps much if you can’t have your counter up and ready before the big boom is incoming. With Khufu at least, it’s not implausible outside Rush, given his Slow speed.
But Anne is Fast. (…and effectively that much faster when tanking.)
