Aniimo Elements

Elements are the elemental affinities carried by every Aniimo in the index. Nine of them are published, and an individual creature holds either one or two. The pairing decides which attacks it deals well with, which it suffers against, and which creature traits it benefits from.

There is one thing this wiki deliberately does not do: publish a matchup chart. Elemental weakness clearly exists, because a number of creature traits read "increases damage dealt to enemies weak to your element". What has not been published is which element beats which. As of September 17, 2026, the official creature index carried element tags on every entry and no effectiveness relationships between them, and no official announcement had supplied any, so no effectiveness table is given here.

The game itself does show type counters. A support post published during the 2026 beta period documented a Type Matchup Panel reached from the Aniimo Management screen by clicking a creature's type icon, and the same post noted that rain weakens fire abilities. What has never been published outside the client is the panel's contents, and no launch-era surface has restated the panel as of September 17, 2026. The relationships therefore stay in the game rather than on this page.

Rock is written as Earth in a handful of skill descriptions. Both refer to the same affinity.

Element Overview

Every entry counted here is a Basic Form. Because Forms can add or swap an element, the spread across all 208 published entries looks different from the Basic Form spread, and the last column shows that.

The official creature index was rebuilt for launch. As of September 27, 2026 it publishes 86 Basic Form entries numbered 001 to 082 plus 122 Form variants, 208 payloads in total, and most dex numbers moved by one or two places in the process. The per-element rosters further down use the rebuilt index's dex numbers, checked on September 27, 2026. The tallies in the table immediately below are current.

Dual affinities are common enough to matter but far from the norm. Of the 86 Basic Form entries, 8 carry two elements and the other 78 carry one. Rock is the widest affinity at 14 entries and Holy the narrowest at 2.

Fire

12 Basic Form entries carry the Fire affinity, 9 of them as a single element and 3 paired with something else.

Water

13 Basic Form entries carry the Water affinity, 11 of them as a single element and 2 paired with something else. Water used to be the widest affinity in the index; it lost ground when the launch rebuild dropped a block of ocean-dwelling creatures.

Wind

13 Basic Form entries carry the Wind affinity, all of them as a single element.

Grass

13 Basic Form entries carry the Grass affinity, 9 of them as a single element and 4 paired with something else.

Rock

14 Basic Form entries carry the Rock affinity, 10 of them as a single element and 4 paired with something else, which makes Rock the widest affinity in the Basic Form index.

Ice

5 Basic Form entries carry the Ice affinity, 4 of them as a single element and 1 paired with something else. Ice fell furthest in the launch rebuild.

Electric

10 Basic Form entries carry the Electric affinity, 10 of them as a single element and 0 paired with something else.

Dark

12 Basic Form entries carry the Dark affinity, 10 of them as a single element and 2 paired with something else.

Holy

Holy is by far the rarest affinity in the Basic Form index: only 2 entries carry it, and both are filed outside the main numbering as specials. The way most Pathfinders will see Holy is through a Form rather than a Basic Form, since Prismana Forms add it to creatures that are ordinarily something else. As of September 17, 2026 Prismana is the only Form that does so, and seven entries pick up Holy that way.
