11Leveling and Progression22Your Animon grow stronger through battle. As they gain experience they level up, improve their stats, and can evolve into new forms. This page covers how progression works for your creatures and for your own journey across Talea.44Experience and Levels66Animon earn experience by taking part in battles. When a creature gains enough experience it levels up, becoming more capable in combat. Higher levels are what let your team stand up to tougher story opponents and other players online.88How to Get EXP Fast1111Several methods speed up leveling beyond ordinary battles.1313MethodHow It WorksThrow items in trash cansTrash cans in cities let you discard unneeded items for EXP; useful after exploring builds up surplus stock. Do not throw away crafting or move-enhancement items.Cook a high-EXP recipeThe Riso del Bosco recipe grants an Animon 1000 EXP; buy it once it appears in city restaurants.Use Experience BiliaCapturing an Animon with an Items and CurrencyBattle in high-level areasRisky but lucrative; save first and pack healing, since an Animon or two is likely to faint.Aim with Animon ModeHitting an enemy with your strongest Animon in Animon Mode chips its health before battle starts, giving a head start.1515See How to Get EXP Fast.1616Stat Allocation1818When an Animon levels up it earns Stat Points, which you spend on its six core stats from the Stat Management screen. To reach that screen, open the menu, go to the Animon tab, select an Animon to view its info, then choose the stat management prompt in the bottom corner.2020StatWhat It DoesHPHow much damage the Animon can take before fainting.AttackDamage output for physical moves.Special AttackDamage output for special moves.DefenseResistance against physical damage.Special DefenseResistance against special damage.AgilityInfluences turn order, so faster Animon usually act first.2222It is crucial to actually distribute Stat Points: an Animon whose level is up to par will still feel weak if its points are unspent. You can redistribute the points later if a build is not working, so an early commitment is not a permanent one. Each Animon also has a kit of up to five active moves. See How to Increase Stats.2323Raising Innate Stats Through Cooking2525Beyond Stat Points, many cooking recipes raise an Animon's innate stats. These are prepared at the Fountain rest spots, and you should cook with Trey to avoid wasting ingredients. See Crafting and Cooking.2727Research Level2929Scanning Animon in battle fills their index entry and raises their Research Level. Scanning three times reveals all of an Animon's information, including its stats, Hidden Type, and evolution chart, though each scan costs a turn. One or two scans is usually enough to reveal weaknesses. Capturing an Animon completes its entry with a star; for starters, you must find wild or opponent versions to scan, since you cannot scan your own. See How to Increase Research Level.3131Evolution3434Growth often unlocks evolution. A creature that reaches the right point can change into a stronger form, as the starter Mewaii does when it becomes Maidelly, Vortail into Furtex, Ozelash into Kouzear, Salabel into Vilender, and Queccha into Quequator. Evolved Animon keep their elemental type and attribute while gaining power. Animon do not evolve automatically: when one is ready, a yellow arrow appears next to its icon, and you evolve it manually from the Animon tab in the menu.3636Starter Evolution Lines3838A starter's first evolution is by level, and its final stage branches based on which item you use, tying it to the region you align with. The pattern is consistent across all five starters.4040StarterFirst StageFinal Stage (Branch)MewaiiMaidelly at Level 18Megamitosa (Level 40 + Meridemblem) or Dolegamii (Level 40 + Septemblem)VortailFurtex at Level 18Weaphoon (Level 40 + Meridemblem) or Fursazen (Level 40 + Septemblem)OzelashKouzear at Level 18Byazevolt (Level 40 + Meridemblem) or Zenicore (Level 40 + Septemblem)SalabelVilender at Level 18Horrogre (Level 40 + Meridemblem) or Goldrago (Level 40 + Septemblem)QuecchaQuequator at Level 18Barangu (Level 40 + Meridemblem) or Meterier (Level 40 + Septemblem)4242Both emblems are tied to the route split. The Septemblem is earned on the northern Logos route, after winning the squadron match in Voltar during The City of Entertainment quest. The Meridemblem is received in Altipetra at the end of the City of the Sun quest on the southern Mythos route. Neither emblem is consumed on use, so one of each is enough to evolve every starter you raise.4343Special Evolution Conditions4545Many other Animon evolve under specific conditions rather than by level alone.4747AnimonEvolution RequirementDeniuli into FulgazeLevel 28 during daytimeAlmyuna into LopyunaLevel 27 at nighttimeLampecko into LuxeckoLevel 25 with a LampaliteCadedro into NelumbierLevel 27 in rainy weatherRainxy into RainagonUse the Mestus trait several timesChagmaFive critical hits in one battle (Gongbog) or five misses in one battle (Natmiss)Minube into ChromauraAll six Minube colors plus Rainbow WeatherToypette into AnizordAll three Toypette shapes plus a Zord Head4949For the complete chart of requirements, see the All Evolutions Guide.5050Team Progression5252Progression is not just about a single strong creature. A balanced team that covers several elemental types holds up better across the game. As you explore new regions you will meet new species to catch and raise, gradually deepening your roster.

The campaign opens new regions across Logos and Mythos, introduces new characters, and offers choices that shape the story toward multiple endings. The choice of which region to enter first comes after the Out of Ideas quest. See Story and Setting, Should You Go North or South, and Characters.6262Online Progression Note6464Crossplay and cross-platform progression between the Steam and Nintendo Switch versions have not been confirmed. It is currently unknown whether a single save can carry between platforms or whether players can battle and trade across them.
