A bit late but at last.
Aint no one chainin this rebel mofu >:3

Just kidding. So lets get to it and make it quick this time:

Anemone
a.k.a Anewaifu

Her stats are well spread and while some may say her def or Hp is to low for a counter girl..... Anemone is no longer just a counter girl (we will get to that later so hang on). She is a bit on the slower side of things with only 400 speed though.

Skills:
3x 1.8 to single random enemy and then 0.5 to all after wards.
While the 0.5 after doesnt seem like much, thats still an additional hit. Other girls with this skill do not have that, so thats Anemones unique something.
Activation rate is the same as usual, nothing to write home about nor be ashamed of.

Abylities:

Ok here its where it gets interesting:

Standard DMG Buff - of whooping 30% ! Much stronger than the usual 22% so definitely a plus

Counter/Super counter at 4x. Not the strongest, but not the weakest either. Was pretty good back in the day though.

Defense/Guard/Guts - this is one of the best skills in game since its 3 different skills put into one and stucks well with any girl really, the higher her defense the better. Plus it benefits the whole team as well.

Crit Rate and Damage : Ok so Anewaifu got buffed not relatively recently and this turned her into semi broken nonsense as far as skill in vacuum go.
She has a 30% activation rate and 40% Crit damage. Holy shit of the shitting stone. I believe there are maybe two other girls who have this skill this high (Kuko and Loquat) in both rate and dmg. Insane

Ok so the thing with Anewaifu is that for a long time she was one of the prime Counter girls with nice Active ability. This all changes when she underwent a massive overhaul with her Bloom that turned her into a Crit girl. Not half assed one, not semi decent one, but a full fledged Crit girl that has also Full Fledged Counter due the Def/Guts buff.

This by itself makes her broken. Not in the damage terms but in terms of identity and her depoyment in squads. Both Crit and Counter are two prime skills and you do not put them together. Especially not if both parts of the skill setup have its secondary buffing skill (Crit Rate and Damage. Counter and Def buff).

I am tempted to give her S- tier simply because of the skill setup. Its more like A++ Or S--. Somewhere in the middle. But personally I think with the overall utility and the way she has been setup Anemone is S tier albeit of a different sort than either Saffron or Kerria.

Now for waifu factor.... well... its Anewaifu. What shoul i say
This girl has 2 or 3 additional forms, due to how popular she is. And only after several new girls finally came out she lost her prime position in the popularity poll. Finally. Honestly I didnt like her for a looong long time simply due to the crazy hype everyone sprouted around her. I think it wasnt justified. Her personality is on the warm/shy/composed side of things. Her looks are OK-ish, though nothing that literally speaks to me. But she is not unlikebale.
I have the Miko version and that one is plenty cute. But I have a weakness for the whole Miko aesthetics and such. I dont think I have the second version of her... not even sure what it was, but eh.
Anewaifu is just....there. She is not the shining diamond, but nor is she the dirty coal. She is the ever present and dependable like a solid rock and stone. Always with you, always prepared and ready. Always useful. She just ...IS.
And sometimes that is all you need.
