What does capability awakening do?
Capability awakening uses stardust to specialize and improve an Aniimo's acquired potential.
◇verified at launch · Sept 2026
You increase acquired potential inside the capability awakening tab by spending enhancement materials on specific stats. This shapes how an Aniimo performs in combat by focusing its stat growth where you want it.
Stardust is a shared resource with competing demands. Besides funding capability awakening, stardust is required for potential upgrades and for modifying IV stats. Investing it to specialize one Aniimo takes away from your supply for adjusting another creature's base values.
Resetting Investments
You can reset capability awakening freely at any time while an Aniimo is below level 60. This returns the invested training materials so you can change your stat distribution without penalty.
That flexibility disappears later in progression. Once an Aniimo reaches level 60 or higher, capability awakening can no longer be reset, locking in your stat choices permanently.
Not settled: Whether the training material refund when resetting capability awakening is restricted exclusively to Aniimo below level 60 is not settled yet.
