Budsquire, answered

What element is Budsquire in Aniimo?

Budsquire is Grass in every one of its forms. Its role in the official index is DPS.

Where do you find Budsquire?

The official Aniimo index lists Sea of Flowers and Rosetower Woods. We have not stood there and seen it ourselves yet, so treat that as a lead rather than a fact — we will confirm or correct it once we have played the area.

How does Budsquire evolve?

In the official Aniimo index the line runs Budsquire (Basic Form) → Thornblade or Melloblum (Gamma Stage). Where two names share a stage, the line branches: the stage before evolves into one or the other. The index does not say what triggers each step or which branch you get — we will add that from our own playthrough rather than guess.

How many forms does Budsquire have?

2: Basic Form and Towerwood Form. Forms are the same creature, not separate entries — they share the same dex number, the same base values, the same trait and the same skills. That is why we keep them on one page instead of 2 thin ones.

Is Budsquire any good?

Nobody has played the release version yet, so anything about tier lists would be invented. What the numbers say: its ATK of 103 is above average, while its P.DEF of 59 is among the lowest in the dex, for 424 points across all six values. Those are the index base values — the level they refer to is not documented, so read them as a shape, not as a score. We will judge it properly once we have used it.

What is Budsquire's trait?

Sword Dance: Each skill used grants 1 stack of [Sword Dance], up to 4 stacks, lasting 15s. Each basic attack costs 1 stack of [Sword Dance] to deal 180% extra damage.
