11 Every Aniimo in the index is filed under one of five battle roles. The role is not a soft label: it is printed on the creature sheet next to the dex number and the element, and it is the main thing a Pathfinder reads when building a team for combat or a co-op boss fight.
22  
33 The roles are not evenly stocked. DPS is a third of the index on its own and Heal is a fraction of it, so a balanced team is easy to fill on the damage side and much harder to fill on sustain.

1010 DPS creatures carry a team’s damage. They are the largest group in the index and the default answer when a fight simply needs an enemy dead faster.

1313 Break
1414  
1515 Break creatures exist to wear down an enemy’s guard. The BREAK stat is a separate value on every creature sheet, and a Break specialist is what opens the window the rest of the team hits through.

1818 Support
1919  
2020 Support creatures buff allies and weaken enemies rather than dealing the killing damage themselves. They are the glue in longer co-op fights.

2323 Heal
2424  
2525 Heal creatures keep a team alive. There are only seven of them in the whole index, which makes them the scarcest role by a wide margin.

3030 Energy creatures feed the resource bar that skills draw from. Their value shows up indirectly, in how often the rest of the team gets to use its expensive abilities.
