Piopiota is No. 051 in the Aniimo index, a Water creature that fights in the Support role. Narcissistic little creatures who spend a large amount of time grooming their fur and striking the perfect pose.
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 Susuta line, which runs to 4 entries in total, and one alternate Form has been published for it.

Base Stats
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.

Evolution
Piopiota grows out of Popota. It sits at the end of the line, with nothing published beyond it.

Forms
Besides its Basic Form, Piopiota has 1 published Form. Each 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.
Image | Form | Element | Where It Appears |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nighttime Form | Dark / Water | Evolution from Nighttime Popota |
Where To Find It
No spawn location is published for Piopiota 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.
Trait
Every Aniimo carries a passive Trait that is always active while it fights alongside a Pathfinder.
Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
Radiant Charm | Increases Water damage by 16% for all opposite-sex Aniimo on the team. |
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 Piopiota is worth keeping for how it gets you across the map as well as for what it does in a fight.
Capability | Grade |
|---|---|
Swim | Level 3 |
Skills
The table lists Piopiota's four available combat moves across forms and unlocks, plus Sea in Wrath and its basic attack. Choose two combat skills for the build. Power is the published damage figure and Cost is the resource required.
Skill | Type | Power | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Water Cannon | Combat | 39 | 10 | Jumps up and hurls a huge water ball at the target, dealing AoE damage and creating a puddle. |
Surge | Combat | 72 | 20 | Restores HP to the entire team based on 4% of the Aniimo’s max HP. If within 10m of a water environment, absorbs water to boost healing; each puddle absorbed doubles the healing, up to 4 puddles at once. |
Dark Tide | Combat | 76 | 20 | Gains 15% BREAK Damage Reduction for 20s. If within 10m of a water environment, absorbs water to gain additional stacks of the effect; each puddle absorbed grants one additional stack, up to 4 puddles at once. |
Surf | Combat | 50 | 20 | Summons a wave underfoot, rides it toward the target to deal damage, and creates 4 puddles. |
ATK | Innate | 6 | 0 | Wields the power of water to attack targets at close range. |
Sea in Wrath | Innate | 100 | 0 | Summons a huge wave toward the target to deal damage. Also increases Water damage for team members by 20% for 30s. |
Evolution routes
Starting form | Result | Level | Materials | Unlock and conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic Popota | Basic Piopiota | 39 | 3 Wave Stones | Attract an opposite-gender Susuta to follow while Twined as Popota. |
Nighttime Popota | Nighttime Piopiota | 39 | Wave Stones; confirm the required quantity in the Evolution menu. | At night, attract an opposite-gender Susuta to follow. Personality must contain both Energetic and Playful. |
Twine as Popota on the Echoback Landing beaches and approach an opposite-gender Susuta until it turns pink and follows. Open Evolution after the notification. For the Nighttime branch, perform the interaction at night and meet both personality requirements.
Water support example
Combat pair | Ultimate | Personality example | Held item |
|---|---|---|---|
Surf + Surge | Sea in Wrath | ESTP | Miraculous Fleece |
Priority scale: 5 highest | ATK | BREAK | REGEN | HP | P.DEF | M.DEF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Offensive support example | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
Damage dealer | Breaker | Support | EP recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
Piopiota |
This is an example Water lineup, rather than a required party. Miraculous Fleece supports healing, while the party uses the puddles created by Surf for damage, BREAK or recovery skills.
Puddle and healing decisions
Use Surf to create four puddles before the next Water teammate needs them.
If the party needs healing, use Surge near water; it can absorb up to four puddles. Otherwise preserve puddles for the damage, BREAK or EP-recovery holder.
Use Sea in Wrath when the ultimate is ready for the planned window. It grants the team 20% Water damage for 30 seconds.
Refresh the puddle supply before the next rotation rather than spending every puddle on healing when the team is healthy.
A held-item contract upgrades Surf from four puddles to six. Those two additional puddles can remain available after a four-puddle heal, so the value depends on the party rotation.
Radiant Charm gives the listed 16% Water-damage benefit to opposite-sex team Aniimo. Account for that sex condition when choosing teammates; the existing trait and skill values remain the reference for each effect.
Available combat moves
Form | Native options | Additional unlock lead |
|---|---|---|
Basic | Surf; Water Cannon; Surge | Nighttime Piopiota unlocks Dark Tide. |
Nighttime | Surf; Dark Tide; Water Cannon; Surge | No additional move listed. |
Choose two combat skills. Sea in Wrath and the basic attack are separate from those slots. Dark Tide is a defensive option with 15% BREAK damage reduction for 20 seconds, enhanced by absorbing nearby water; it serves a different purpose from Surge healing.
