How Thornblade evolves

  1. Basic Form

    Budsquire

  2. Gamma Stage

    Thornblade Melloblum

Budsquire branches at the Gamma Stage: it evolves into either Thornblade or Melloblum — two separate creatures with their own entries, not a special form. The official index doesn't say what decides which one you get; we'll add that once we've seen it in-game.

Thornblade, answered

What element is Thornblade in Aniimo?

It depends on the form: Basic Form is Grass, Towerwood Form is Grass, Rainstorm Form is Grass and Electric, Umbrabow Form is Grass and Water and Prismana Form is Grass and Water. The base values, trait and skills stay the same across every form — only the element and the habitat change.

Where do you find Thornblade?

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 Thornblade 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 Thornblade have?

5: Basic Form, Towerwood Form, Rainstorm Form, Umbrabow Form and Prismana 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 5 thin ones.

Is Thornblade any good?

Nobody has played the release version yet, so anything about tier lists would be invented. What the numbers say: its ATK of 121 is well above average, while its BREAK of 50 is well below average, for 499 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 Thornblade'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.
