Beginner Mistakes and Resource Traps to Avoid

Rewards from the pre-launch web event are only granted when you log into the game with the identical email or phone number you used to pre-register, so that it matches your official game account. Use a different address and they do not arrive. This is the one setup step worth getting right before you care about anything else, because it happens once and you will not think to check it again.

After that, play the early quests properly. They are the tutorial, and they cover movement, catching, twining with Aniimo, combat and elemental counters. Skimming them is not a disaster, but the elemental counter lesson in particular is the sort of thing that quietly costs you fights later.

This is the irreversible one. While an Aniimo is below level 60, you can reset its Capability Awakening freely at any time, and the reset fully recovers the training materials you invested. Once that Aniimo reaches level 60 or higher, it can no longer be reset. The exact shape of the refund below 60 is not fully settled, but the lock at 60 is.

What matters for a new player is the deadline, not the system itself. The lock is tied to a level rather than to a choice you make, so it arrives on its own while you are doing something else. If you are experimenting with Awakening on a creature, do the experimenting early and settle on what you want before that creature climbs into the sixties.

An Aniimo's innate potential value scales its enhancement costs. Higher starting potential means less total Astranite to max out a stat. Two of the same creature are therefore not the same investment, and the cheaper one is cheaper all the way to the top, not just at the start.

Upgrading attribute potential to higher levels also requires progressively rarer materials, so the cost curve gets harder the further you push. Both of these point the same direction: do not spread upgrade resources evenly across everything you have caught. Concentrate them on the small team you actually run the story with, and let the rest of the collection sit at whatever level it arrived at.

Primegy is a stamina-style resource that gates repeatable reward activities, the kind you run over and over: farming resources, repeating battle content. You spend it to restore your ability to earn rewards from those activities. Treat it as the thing that decides how much progress a session can contain, rather than as something you top up when you happen to think of it.

Aniipods are the other quiet drain. Keep them in reserve for rare spawns, weather-dependent creatures and quest targets instead of throwing at every common encounter you walk past. Aniimo shows a capture chance before a pod is thrown, so you can check the number rather than throwing the moment combat starts. One thing the chance will never save you from: Omega Aniimo cannot be captured at all, so no quantity of pods will land one.

Fighting opponents of a significantly higher level causes a large drop in the damage you deal and an increase in the damage you take. It hits from both sides at once, which is why an overlevelled fight does not feel slightly hard. It feels impossible, and no amount of good play closes that gap.

The fix is boring and it works: level up and come back. While you are building toward it, an effective early team composition includes a DPS unit, a break unit, and a healer or support. Get those three roles covered before you start worrying about which specific creature goes in which slot.

06Where to start

Sort your login account out now, keep any Aniimo you are still tuning under level 60, and point your Astranite at three or four creatures rather than thirty. Everything else on this list you can afford to learn the slow way.
