Where To Find It
Budclaw is listed in 4 habitats. Which creatures actually appear also depends on weather, time of day, and local phenomena, so a listed habitat is where to look rather than a guarantee.
Habitat |
|---|
Trait
Every Aniimo carries a passive Trait that is always active while it fights alongside a Pathfinder.
Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
Stealth | Skills build Momentum when they deal damage, up to 6 stacks. Momentum gain is doubled during tunneling. At max stacks, increases BREAK efficiency by 30% for 15s. |
Mobility
Mobility abilities are what a Pathfinder gains while Twining with this Aniimo, so they double as traversal tools rather than combat moves.
Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
Tunnel | Tunnels underground to become immune to all ranged attacks by continuously consuming stamina. Pound skills can launch the Aniimo into the air. |
