Revision - nimbi - Aniimo Wiki

Nimbi is No. 017 in the Aniimo index, a Wind creature that fights in the Support role. Don't be surprised to see them floating in the clouds in small groups above the grasslands.

Nimbi, No. 017, a Wind-element Support Aniimo

Wild Aniimo are taken with Aniipods, and once caught this one can be raised, sent into battle, kept at The Homeland, or traded to another player. It belongs to the Nimbi line, which runs to 3 entries in total, and 3 alternate Forms have been published for it.

Base Stats

Evolution

Nimbi is the base form of its line. The line splits here into 2 outcomes: Dreaple and Turbo.

Aniimo	No.	Stage	Element	Role
Nimbi	017	Stage 1	Wind	Support
Dreaple	019	Stage 2	Dark	Support
Turbo	018	Stage 2	Wind	Support

Forms

Besides its Basic Form, Nimbi has 3 published Forms. 2 of them carries a different elemental pairing from the Basic Form, so the Form a Pathfinder catches decides what the creature is weak and strong against.

Form	Element	Where It Appears
Cloudmist Form	Wind	Nimbus Fields
Plateau Form	Wind / Ice	Driftwise Meadow
Rainstorm Form	Wind / Electric	Nimbus Fields

Where To Find It

Nimbi is listed in 2 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
Nimbus Fields
The Argent Strait

Trait

Every Aniimo carries a passive Trait that is always active while it fights alongside a Pathfinder.

Trait	Effect
Shrouded in Mist	After using 4 basic attacks, enters [Shrouded in Mist] state. Casting a skill consumes this state to enhance the skill's effects.

Traversal

The index grades three traversal capabilities, Climb, Fly and Swim, from level 1 to level 3. A Pathfinder inherits them by Twining with the creature, so Nimbi is worth keeping for how it gets you across the map as well as for what it does in a fight.

Capability	Grade
Fly	Level 1

Mobility

Mobility abilities are named actions used while Twined. They are separate from combat skills and graded traversal capabilities.

Ability	Effect
Puff Up	Puffs up, allowing you to jump higher and perform one dash while airborne.

Skills

The table lists combat moves across forms and capture unlocks, plus the innate basic attack. Choose two combat skills for the build; Power and Cost retain the listed skill values.

Skill	Type	Power	Cost	Effect
Cloud Orb	Combat	30	10	Throws a missile condensed from clouds at the target. If the user is [Shrouded in Mist], the missile creates a larger explosion on hit, dealing damage equal to 180% Might.
Thunder Bolt	Combat	30	10	Throws a missile condensed from thunderclouds at the target. If the user is [Shrouded in Mist], the missile creates a larger explosion on hit, dealing damage equal to 120% Might.
Cloud Shield	Combat	0	20	Creates a cloud shield to protect itself, absorbing damage up to 15% max HP and reducing stamina consumption by 15% for 20s. While affected by [Shrouded in Mist], the shield absorbs damage up to 18% max HP instead, and stamina consumption is reduced by 18% for 30s.
ATK	Innate	6	0	Wields the power of wind to attack targets from a distance.

Nimbi line evolution requirements
