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.

59+Begin with support effects, then keep Leaf Slash or The Luminus Gust hitting while tunneling. Stealth gains Momentum twice as quickly underground; reach its six-stack trigger to gain 30% BREAK efficiency for 20 seconds. Tunnel protects against ranged attacks, and Pound attacks can still launch Shrubclaw.

61+Move during Charged Blow's charge so both swings line up, then pass the BREAK opening to the damage dealer. Quake Impact provides a wide-area ultimate when available. Recover EP between attempts rather than charging without the resources to finish the sequence.

63+The Charged Blow contract shortens its charge and adds a one-second stun. Earth Skills and Core Skill Contracts separate the move's charge stages from its base Power. Held Items covers Gargantuan Horn's BREAK growth and its Acquired Potential threshold.
