1111 The index publishes six base values for every Aniimo plus an Attributes total that adds them together. ATK drives damage, BREAK is what wears down an enemy's guard, P.DEF and M.DEF cover the two damage types, and REGEN governs how quickly resources come back. These are base figures and balance changes can move them.

2525  
26-No spawn location is published for Pawney in its Basic Form. Creatures at the end of an evolution line are usually raised rather than caught, and the index leaves their habitat blank.
26+Pawney's main acquisition route is the Sword of Bravery evolution branch from Helmut. Prismana Pawney belongs to a matching Prismana Flow.

3333 Mobility
3434  
35-Mobility abilities are what a Pathfinder gains while Twining with this Aniimo, so they double as traversal tools rather than combat moves.
35+Mobility abilities are named actions used while Twined, separate from combat skills and graded traversal capabilities.

40-Pawney brings 4 combat skills and 2 innate skills into a fight. Power is the skill's published damage figure and Cost is what it draws from the resource bar.
40+The table lists available combat moves, including form or capture unlocks, and the separate innate moves. Choose two compatible combat skills for the build. Power is the published damage figure and Cost is the resource required.

47+Follow the Russet Highlands Warrior story until the eastern arena and Sword of Bravery objective become available. The story calls for Twining with Helmut; the stone itself can also be damaged by other Aniimo. Keep this route separate from the Warrior story in Beast Fang Ridge.

53+The priority scale runs from 1 to 5, with 5 highest. Attack leads each example; the Snowfield example puts more emphasis on BREAK. Weakening Smash is the Ice alternative once unlocked. Echoing Grimoire rewards consecutive casts of the same skill, so plan those casts around the available EP and attack window.

56+Somniwing is one recovery option for these teams. For Snowfield Pawney, Prismana Turbo can replace the dedicated Breaker when that role is unnecessary. Dreaple is another support choice for a skill-focused plan.

58+Working through the damage window
59+ 
60+Set up support effects, then use Rookey to deplete the enemy BREAK gauge.Refresh the support effects before switching to Pawney. Use Ironclad Armament when the Break window suits the planned attacks.Weave basic attacks between the three total Weakening Slam casts to recover some EP. The third cast stuns susceptible targets, but not Alpha opponents.Use uncontracted Shadow Cut while the target will remain inside the spin. The contract allows movement and improves interruption resistance; weigh that positioning benefit for the encounter.Recast Ironclad Armament for Dragon Slayer Strike before the useful ultimate or Break window ends, then return to EP recovery.
61+ 
62+Ironclad Armament grants 10% increased EP recovery and 30% extra damage to BREAK targets for 15 seconds. Its Break-window damage benefit is separate from the recovery effect; it is not a rule that the ultimate has no use outside Break.
