What are Emberpup's base stats in Aniimo?
Emberpup, the first Aniimo players catch during the tutorial, has one of the game's lowest base-stat totals, consistent with its early Lumin stage (HP 67, BREAK 40, M.DEF 57, P.DEF 60, REGEN 68), but its attack is unsettled: it is given as both 90 and 86, and the total of 382 assumes an attack of 90.
This one is not settled.
Both versions are shown because the disagreement is itself information — usually it means the mechanic changed between beta builds.
A total near 382 keeps this Lumin stage creature suited strictly for early practice.
The early game tutorial covers movement, catching, twining with Aniimo, combat, and elemental counters across introductory quests. Emberpup exists to let you practice these mechanics without risk. While new players are advised to catch the creatures they encounter early on rather than skipping past them, this initial companion possesses weak stats that cannot carry harder encounters.
Progressing the main story quests unlocks locked game features and systems at the Polaris Institute, where you encounter stronger Aniimo. Treat Emberpup as an entry point for learning how catching and elemental counters work, then phase it out as your team expands.
Not settled: Emberpup's base attack displays as 86 in some profiles and 90 in others. If the attack stat is 86, the overall base-stat total drops below 382.
