33 Every Anima in Honkai: Nexus Anima is classified along two axes: an Aspect and a Trait. The Aspect functions like a faction or elemental affinity, driving team synergies. The Trait determines the Anima's battlefield role. How it fights, where it positions, and what utility it provides during Auto-Chess Combat.

77 Aspects correspond to the philosophical and scientific principles that once defined the Old World before the Sundering. In the Old World, Aspects existed in paired opposites controlled by Sovereigns. Each Sovereign governed both halves of a pair. Light and Dark, Love and Hate, Life and Death. After the Sundering split them apart, each half became a standalone concept governed by a separate Novarch.

1616 This means the total number of individual Aspects after the split is roughly double the number of Sovereigns. With 39 known Sovereigns, there could be up to 78 individual Aspects, though the 16 used as in-game synergy categories represent the ones most relevant to Anima classification.

2525 When multiple Anima sharing the same Aspect are deployed in battle (including bench units in assistance slots), they activate escalating synergy buffs at the 2/4/6/8 thresholds. A team with 4 War Anima gets a stronger War synergy bonus than one with just 2. This stacking is the main incentive for building focused teams.
