New player guide
Pick your server first, because progress only carries between platforms on the same server. Then choose Helion or Lunara as your first companion, log in on seven days to collect Set Out, Pathfinder! (two Aniipod Ultras on day one, a Sparkling Cube on day seven), pick a free Prismana in the Prismana Pact and claim it at the Wayfarer I title, and redeem the launch codes once the story quest Chasing the Clouds opens your mailbox.
Your first days, in order
- Before you playPick your server
There are three: America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Your character carries over between PC, console and mobile only when you sign in to the same server, so pick the one you will stay on.

If you sign in with a third-party account, link an email on the first-login screen. If you skip it, only Customer Support can link one later.
Account details - Early storyChoose Helion or Lunara
Your first companion, and a permanent choice: you can only own one. Both are Holy DPS with identical base stats. Helion fights up close with burst damage; Lunara attacks from range, heals itself and weakens targets' Holy resistance.
Compare the two

Every code - After Chasing the CloudsStart your daily routine
Catching Alpha Turbo in the quest Chasing the Clouds unlocks Daily Activity and Elite Training. Daily Activity pays up to 3,000 Pathfinder EXP a day; Elite Training pays a Sparkling Cube at 120 points and a free Somniwing at 180.
The daily routine - Your first catchesLearn how catching works
Your odds depend on the Aniipod, the level gap, the target's HP or a back attack, and statuses like sleep. Aniipod Ultra and the Sparkling Cube always succeed.
How catching works - This weekJoin the events running now
Several launch events reward new players, including a 30-day login event and weekly Prismana boosts.
What is on now
Helion or Lunara
HelionTrait Solar Grace: 30% more final damage when not attacking with an advantageous element, and every 4 basic attacks empower the next skill. Its innate skill, Helios' Judgment, turns it into Soleon until the battle ends.
LunaraTrait Lunar Power: 30% more final damage when not attacking with an advantageous element, and skills charge basic attacks that deal extra damage and heal a little. Its innate skill, Selene's Judgment, turns it into Fennelun until the battle ends.
Both starters share the same base stats: HP 100, ATK 116, BREAK 64, P.DEF 72, M.DEF 72, REGEN 90. Pick the play style you like; neither is stronger on paper.
Choices you cannot undo
- Your character's gender.
- Your starter, Helion or Lunara.
- Title promotions. Each one also raises the level of wild Aniimo.
- Releasing an Aniimo.
- Aniipods you have thrown, including Aniipod Ultras and Sparkling Cubes.
The Aniipod selector remembers the last pod you threw. After using an Aniipod Ultra or a Sparkling Cube, switch back to a normal Aniipod before your next throw.
Small things worth knowing
- Primegy refills one point every six minutes up to 300. Spend it before it caps.
- Lumin Amber is the only way to raise your stamina, and each one gives 200 Pathfinder EXP.
- Your three free Nurtures a day do not carry over.
- There is no difficulty setting, and the game saves to the server on its own.
- If you get stuck in the world, Unstuck in Settings takes you to the nearest Transporter.
- Early Aniimo that help you explore: Celestis can climb and fly, Pranky and Glacy swim, and Cornet and Tromber can take off from flat ground.
New player guide, answered
What should I do first in Aniimo?
Choose your server, link an email if you use a third-party login, pick Helion or Lunara, then claim Set Out, Pathfinder! each day, choose your free Prismana in the Prismana Pact, and redeem codes once the quest Chasing the Clouds opens your mailbox.
Should I pick Helion or Lunara?
Pick the play style you like, because you can only own one. Both are Holy DPS with identical base stats. Helion is a close-range burst fighter; Lunara attacks from range, heals itself and lowers targets' Holy resistance.
What does the starter evolve into?
In battle, Helion's innate skill turns it into Soleon and Lunara's turns it into Fennelun until the fight ends. Both unlock a permanent evolution later in the story.
What free rewards do new players get?
Set Out, Pathfinder! gives seven login gifts, including two Aniipod Ultras and a Sparkling Cube, and the Prismana Pact gives one Prismana of your choice at the Wayfarer I title.
When can I redeem codes in Aniimo?
Once the story quest Chasing the Clouds opens your mailbox. Redeem them in Settings, Account, Gift Code Redemption. Codes are case sensitive.
Which server should I choose?
The one closest to you that you will stay on: America, Europe or Asia-Pacific. Progress is shared across platforms only within the same server.
Can I move my PC progress to mobile?
Yes, on the same server. Sign in on mobile with the same account and choose the same server.
Do I need to link an email?
Only if you sign in with a third-party account such as Google. Link it on the first-login screen; afterwards only Customer Support can add one.
Can you get both Helion and Lunara?
Not at launch. You can only own one; the other goes back to the mural and appears in the main story. No guide has found a way to own both yet.
What do pre-registration rewards give?
Pre-registration passed 30 million, so everyone gets all four milestone rewards: the Sunlit Meadow outfit, an avatar frame, two Aniipod Ultras and 200 Glimmer.
