Details

Mesmerowl

Best For: Wind teams, Energy support, team sustain

Key Strength: Fast Energy recovery with additional team healing

Mesmerowl helps Wind teams keep their skills flowing instead of waiting around for Energy. Its Mesmerwave Recharge increases team Energy recovery, with an even stronger boost against Bewildered or Broken enemies. Its Ultimate also restores Energy when it hits enemies, while Wind Bomb Therapy provides healing to keep the team in the fight. This makes Mesmerowl a useful choice for teams that rely on frequent skill rotations.

Whirlbite

Best For: Water DPS teams, sustained damage, aggressive playstyles

Key Strength: High Water damage and a powerful Frenzied Assault state

Whirlbite is built around keeping up the pressure. Its skills apply Water Debuff stacks, while moving a total of 40 meters activates Frenzied Assault, granting a 25% Water Elemental Boost for 10 seconds. Its Hunter's Feast skill is particularly useful here, dealing heavy area damage and immediately activating Frenzied Assault. This gives Whirlbite a strong way to enter its enhanced damage state and keep attacking.

Crocobask

Best For: Grass teams, team support, defensive utility

Key Strength: Grass Resistance reduction, team damage buffs, and damage reduction

Crocobask gives Grass teams several useful advantages at once. Withered Wood Rot reduces enemy Grass Resistance when they are hit by its skills or Ultimate, helping Grass attackers deal more damage. Deepwater Croc King adds a 30-second team damage buff, while Spring Renewal makes the team harder to take down by reducing damage received by deployed allies and healing Grass-type Aniimo. It's a good option when you want both offensive and defensive support in one slot.

Jeburst

Best For: Water Break teams, shield breaking, aggressive rotations

Key Strength: High Break potential, free Ultimate access, and empowered basic attacks

Jeburst can get its damage and Break rotation going almost immediately. With 106 Break, it already has strong potential against enemy defenses, and its Turbo Boost trait makes its next basic attack hit harder and deal more Break damage. The effect can stack twice, increasing the value of its enhanced attacks. Even better, Jeburst starts battles with a free Ultimate that refreshes every 120 seconds. Its Waterfall Pool skill also increases Break Efficiency by 25% for 20 seconds, making it particularly useful against enemies that rely on shields or strong defenses.

Scrubbit

Best For: Water Break teams, sustained combat, Water Debuff setups

Key Strength: Strong Break potential, bonus damage, self-healing, and debuff application

Scrubbit has an interesting attack mechanic that rewards paying attention to enemy positioning. After the final hit of its basic attack, Thoughtful Service marks the enemy with Sludge. Hitting the marked side with a skill removes the mark, deals additional damage, and restores Scrubbit's HP. It can also apply Water Debuff stacks through Sludge Clearing, giving it another way to support Water-focused damage teams. This combination makes Scrubbit useful for both staying in combat and helping its teammates deal more damage.

A Tier Aniimo

Details

Hoptail

Best For: Wind and Lightning teams, aggressive DPS, ability-focused combat

Key Strength: High ATK and enhanced skills through Elastic Burst

Hoptail has a strong offensive foundation, with 125 ATK and a kit that rewards keeping up its attacks. Its Elastic Potential trait builds Elasticity stacks whenever its tail attacks hit or it bounces. Once it reaches four stacks, Hoptail enters Elastic Burst, enhancing its skills and increasing its offensive potential. You'll need to keep building those stacks to get the most out of it, but the payoff makes Hoptail a good fit for aggressive playstyles.

Hypnyto

Best For: Wind DPS teams, Critical Rate builds, sustained damage

Key Strength: High ATK and consistent Critical Rate increases

Hypnyto has one of the highest ATK stats in this tier at 130, and its signature skill packs 165 Might. Its Refracted Feather Array trait adds another advantage by dropping a feather whenever a basic attack hits. Each feather increases Critical Rate by 6%, up to three feathers for an 18% bonus. Keep landing basic attacks to maintain the full bonus, and Hypnyto becomes a reliable source of sustained damage.

Buffby

Best For: Wind Break teams, shield breaking, Break-focused encounters

Key Strength: High Break stats and a temporary 70% Break Damage increase

Buffby is built to put pressure on enemy defenses, starting with 103 Break and 126 HP. Its Honeydew Hauling trait generates Honeydew when its skills hit enemies. Collecting four Honeydew increases Break Damage by 70% for eight seconds, giving Buffby a powerful window to break through defenses. There's a trade-off, though: skills cost an additional 10 Energy during this period, and attacks stop generating Honeydew. Timing this boosted window well is key to getting the most from Buffby.

Salabask

Best For: Grass teams, defensive support, Grass DPS compositions

Key Strength: Grass Resistance reduction, team damage reduction, and healing

Salabask brings a useful mix of offensive and defensive support to Grass teams. Its Withered Wood Rot trait reduces enemy Grass Resistance by 17–30% for 10 seconds when they are hit by its skills or Ultimate. Meanwhile, Spring Renewal creates a zone that grants deployed allies 16–28% Damage Reduction and heals deployed Grass Aniimo over time. This gives Salabask a way to help Grass attackers deal more damage while keeping the team alive.

Sugarslime

Best For: Ice teams, Energy recovery, crowd control

Key Strength: Energy-generating Sweet Blobs, Ice Debuff application, and enemy control

Sugarslime does more than help Ice teams maintain their skill rotations. Sugar-Rush Tackle applies five Ice Debuff stacks and scatters Sweet Blobs that restore Energy when collected. Its Sugary Gravity creates a zone that slows enemies by 50%, prevents them from jumping, and pulls them toward its center when the effect ends. Its Ultimate, Sugary Downpour, deals area damage and generates additional Sweet Blobs, giving the team both Energy support and control over groups of enemies.

Sugarfish

Best For: Ice teams, Energy recovery, enemy control

Key Strength: Sweet Blob Energy recovery and Ice Debuff application

Sugarfish offers a simpler way to bring Sweet Blob support to an Ice team. Its Sugar-Rush Tackle applies five Ice Debuff stacks and drops two Sweet Blobs that restore Energy when collected. Sugary Gravity also slows enemies and pulls them together when the effect ends. It doesn't have all the tools of its Nova form, Sugarslime, but Sugarfish can still provide useful Energy recovery and crowd control as a Lumin-stage option.

Jeglid

Best For: Water Break teams, shield breaking, Water Resistance reduction

Key Strength: Enhanced basic attacks and additional Break Efficiency

Jeglid's Turbo Boost trait turns its skills into opportunities for stronger basic attacks. Casting a skill or Ultimate grants one stack, increasing the damage and Break of its next basic attack by 65%, up to two stacks. It also starts battles with a free Ultimate that refreshes every 120 seconds. For even more Break support, Waterfall Pool increases Break Efficiency by 25% for 20 seconds, while Aqua Wing Spin reduces enemy Water Resistance.

Hypnowl

Best For: Wind teams, Energy recovery, Wind Critical builds

Key Strength: Team Energy regeneration through Wind Critical hits

Hypnowl works particularly well with Wind attackers that can land frequent Critical hits. Its Windveil Harvest trait restores 1.5 Energy whenever an ally deals Wind Critical Damage, with a trigger limit of once every 0.5 seconds. It also has Mesmerwave Recharge, which increases team Energy recovery by 16–24%, rising to 28–42% for 20 seconds when hitting Bewildered or Broken targets. With Wind Bomb Therapy providing team healing, Hypnowl becomes a useful support option for keeping Wind teams active throughout a fight.

Reefish

Best For: Earth teams, Energy recovery, crowd control

Key Strength: Early Energy restoration and additional stun utility

Reefish gives Earth-focused teams an Energy boost right at the start of battle. Its Coral Cluster Reef trait restores 4–6 Energy for each Earth-type Aniimo on the team when entering combat, with a 15-second cooldown. This makes its value depend heavily on your team composition, but it can give Earth teams a useful head start with their skill rotations. Quicksand Trap adds some extra control by dealing damage and stunning enemies for three seconds.

Gachapus

Best For: Water DPS teams, Basic Attack builds, area damage

Key Strength: Randomized bubble effects and powerful Jackpot damage windows

Gachapus brings a bit of luck into its damage rotation through its Bubble Gachapon trait. Each basic attack launches a colored bubble and gradually fills its Gacha slots. Match five bubbles of the same color or obtain a rare Gold Bubble to activate Jackpot for 10 seconds, increasing Basic Attack Damage by 80%. Its Enhanced Bubble effects also vary by color, offering area damage, additional damage, or Energy recovery. Gachapus can hit hard during Jackpot, though its randomized effects make its damage less predictable.

Lilipole

Best For: Water Break teams, Water Debuff setups, sustained combat

Key Strength: Break potential, bonus damage, and self-healing

Lilipole has an interesting mechanic that rewards paying attention to enemy positioning. With 91 Break, it can contribute to breaking enemy defenses, while Thoughtful Service gives it a way to deal extra damage and recover HP. After the final hit of a basic attack, it marks the enemy's side with Sludge. Hitting that marked side with a skill removes the mark, deals additional damage, and restores 3% of Lilipole's Max HP. Its Sludge Clearing effect also applies six Water Debuff stacks, while Frogs Love Baths adds a 120-Might attack.

Puffby

Best For: Wind Break teams, shield breaking, early Break-focused progression

Key Strength: Honeydew-based Break Damage increase and good HP

Puffby shares Buffby's Honeydew mechanic, making it another option for Wind Break teams. Its skills generate Honeydew that restores four Energy when collected. Gathering four Honeydew increases Break Damage by 70% for eight seconds, but skills cost an additional 10 Energy and attacks stop generating Honeydew during this period. With 112 HP, Puffby also has some useful durability, while Pollen Ball Slam gives it a strong 95-Might attack.

Prawnch

Best For: Ice Break teams, Ice Debuff setups, close-range combat

Key Strength: Enhanced skills and additional Ice Debuff application

Prawnch uses the same Knuckle Burst mechanic as its stronger Nova form, Jabster. Its trait builds Strike Points whenever skills hit enemies, while charged attacks generate additional points. Once it reaches six points, Prawnch enters Knuckle Burst for six seconds, allowing it to use enhanced skills without charging and apply two Ice Debuff stacks on each skill's first hit. Spring Combo adds even more value by dealing additional damage to enemies with more than five Ice Debuff stacks, making Prawnch a useful option for Ice-focused teams.

B Tier Aniimo

Details

Saws

Best For: Water DPS teams, Water Debuff application, mobile combat

Key Strength: Water Elemental Boost with additional Water Debuff stacks

Saws is a Water DPS Aniimo that rewards active movement and skill usage. Surging Wave applies two additional Water Debuff stacks whenever a skill deals damage. After moving 40 meters, Saws enters Frenzied Assault and gains a 25% Water Elemental Boost for 10 seconds. During this state, Wavebreaker Shark Rush becomes a piercing dash that deals additional damage and extends movement progress when consuming Water Debuff stacks. Although these mechanics provide useful Water damage potential, Saws has lower overall stats than its Nova form, Whirlbite, making it less effective than stronger Water DPS options.

Popapus

Best For: Water DPS teams, Basic Attack builds, burst damage windows

Key Strength: Randomized bubble attacks with an 80% Basic Attack Damage increase during Jackpot

Popapus uses Bubble Gachapon to generate randomly colored bubbles with each basic attack. Collecting five bubbles of the same color or obtaining a rare Gold Bubble activates Jackpot for 10 seconds, increasing Basic Attack Damage by 80%. Its Rigged Draw skill can consume the least common bubble color to guarantee that the next basic attack uses the most common color, increasing its damage by 200% and expanding its attack area. Bubble Barrage also fires bubbles at the target for five seconds, with all damage counting as Basic Attack Damage. However, its randomized bubble generation makes its damage less predictable, while its lower stats compared with its Nova form, Gachapus, limit its overall PvE performance.
