Aniimo Skills, Traits and Ultimates
Two active skills, one ultimate, and a pile of ways to change what fills those slots. Here is how an Aniimo's kit actually comes together.
The short version
- An Aniimo equips two active skills at a time, alongside its ultimate attack.
- Active skills run on energy. Support Aniimo in the loadout run on cooldowns instead.
- Ultimates belong to final-form Nova creatures only.
- You swap actives straight from the menu, so a kit is never locked in.
- Trait Fruit unlocks a creature's rare passive trait.
- The training menu holds rank ups, skill customization, potential awakening and carried items.
An Aniimo's kit is smaller than it first looks. Two active skills equipped at once, plus an ultimate attack. That is the frame you are building inside, and everything else is about what goes in those slots and how hard it hits.
The good news is that almost none of it is permanent. Actives swap directly from the menu, so a creature you built one way in the morning can be built another way before the next fight. The constraints that do stick are worth knowing early, because they shape which Aniimo you invest in.
This covers the slots, the passives, the ways a kit grows past its starting moves, and what changes once you are actually in combat.
Two actives and an ultimate
Each Aniimo equips two active skills at a time alongside its ultimate attack. Active skills consume energy, so the two you pick are competing for the same resource in a fight, not running on separate budgets.
The ultimate is the part you cannot choose. Ultimate moves are exclusive to final-form Nova creatures, which means an Aniimo that has not reached that form is playing with the two actives and nothing more. If you are deciding where to spend your time, that is a real difference in ceiling.
Actives can be swapped directly from the menu. There is no ritual around it, so treat your two slots as a setting rather than a commitment.

Traits, the passive half of the kit
Alongside actives, Aniimo possess passive skills known as traits. These are not something you press. They run in the background and shape how the creature performs without asking for slots or energy.
One trait is gated behind an item. Feeding an Aniimo a Trait Fruit unlocks its rare passive trait, so the fruit is worth saving for a creature you actually intend to build rather than the first thing that will eat it.
Each Aniimo also carries a letter-combination personality type based on MBTI profiles, part of the same layer of who a creature is rather than what you have equipped.
Active skills
- Consume energy as their resource
- Can be swapped directly from the menu
- Certain creatures obtain moves beyond their default moveset
Traits
- Passive skills that need no input
- A Trait Fruit unlocks an Aniimo's rare passive trait
How a kit grows
Aniimo learn new combat abilities as they level up, so the pool of skills you can put in those two slots widens on its own as you play. Beyond that, certain creatures can obtain additional moves outside of their default moveset, which is where two Aniimo with the same starting kit stop looking alike.
Power is a separate track from selection. Certain materials are consumed to upgrade an Aniimo's attacks and increase their power, so a skill you have had since early on can stay relevant if you keep feeding it.
Legendary Aniimo possess distinct skills, which puts them outside the shared pool entirely.
The training menu
Most of the configuration work happens in one place. The training menu offers rank ups, skill customization, potential awakening, and carried item management.
That grouping is worth remembering, because it means progression and loadout are not scattered across the interface. When you want to change what a creature is, that is the screen.
What changes in a fight
Activating Aniimo skills while twined affords more precise manual aiming control. If a skill has been landing inconsistently for you, that is the lever to pull before you assume the skill is weak.
Support Aniimo in the loadout work on a different clock. Their abilities are governed by cooldowns rather than energy, so they are not drawing from the pool your active skills spend. Plan them as timers, not as costs.
Where to start
Pick a creature you like, check whether it can reach a final-form Nova, and build the two active slots around the energy you can actually spend. Save Trait Fruit for that creature. Everything else you can change later from the menu.
