Ana is one of the victims in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Following the disappearance of her sister, Ana is determined to look for her and find out what happened. Because of this, she has a tough resolve that allows her to get through a lot of the punishments compared to the rest of the victims. Read ahead as we talk more about how to get the best build for Ana in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Best Ana Attributes
Ana starts off with a high Toughness stat, making her one of the tankiest characters who can take more blows from the killers. She also has a high Strength stat, which allows her to go toe-to-toe against them very well, too.
Here are Ana’s base stats:
- Toughness: 35**
- Endurance: 25*
- Strength: 30
- Proficiency: 20
- Stealth: 20*
A tankier build Ana with a maxed-out Toughness and raised Endurance works well when playing with teams, as she could act as bait or someone who could protect others who are working on tasks. However, this may work against her if she’s the last one standing, so it’s best to compensate by either adding some points to Proficiency, or getting some perks that would aid in tasks.
Taking advantage of Ana’s toughness, you can also opt into adding points to Stealth, which allows Ana to intentionally grab a killer’s attention away from a spot and easily shake them off right after. Stealth would also help Ana compensate for completing tasks safely.
Best Ana Ability Modifiers
Ana’s main ability is Pain is Nothing, which significantly reduces damage taken from attacks and falls while also granting immunity to the effects of poison. This is especially helpful during chases or encounters, as it gives Ana a great chance of survival.
Ana has four ability modifiers that can improve the ability’s usage:
- Quicker Recharge Rate: Reduces the ability recharge time to 162/153/135.
- Reduced Damage: (level 1 and 3 only) Your damage reduction multiplier is set to 70%/80%
- Stamina Hit Recovery: (level 2 only) While active, incoming melee attacks will restore small amounts of stamina.
- Increase Duration: Ability lasts for 9/10/11 seconds.
Take note that you will need to level up Ana’s ability to level 3 to be able to unlock all three slots for its modifiers. Also, the same modifiers’ effects do not stack up, and only the modifier placed on the higher level will take effect. For a tougher Ana, it’s best to go for these modifiers:
- Level 1: Reduced Damage
- Level 2: Stamina Hit Recovery
- Level 3: Increase Duration
Ana will be able to pop her ability for longer when it matters, which usually happens in the middle or at the end of a match.
