Aniimo evolution is multi-branch — a line can fork depending on the material you feed it, and branches can land on different elements. Read the tier list before committing an evolution material.

Twining with Thornblade

Twining lets you take Thornblade’s form directly rather than commanding it from a distance — so its movement kit becomes yours while you are transformed. Before you Twine, name the outcome you want: cross terrain, trigger an environmental interaction, dodge pressure, or convert an elemental opening. A DPS Twine is a commitment — enter with an exit plan and a second role ready.

Investment priority

The stats above are the species baseline. Individual creatures then vary by Potential (Common up to Perfect) plus four trait axes, and Resonance training from level 20 to 60 is consumed per creature. Appraise several Thornblade before you spend Advanced Astranites on one, and check where it lands in the tier list before committing.
