Additionally, when catching Aniimo in Idyll, there’s a chance to trigger a Lucky Strike, which boosts the region’s Prismana energy.

Each time a region’s Prismatic Energy increases, there is a chance for the region’s Prismatic Energy state to surge to Full, drawing out Prismana Form Aniimo. When this happens, a brilliant Prismana Flow appears in the area, and the location where the Prismana Form Aniimo spawns is marked with special colors.

Using the Branch’s change-weather function, you can directly attract and spawn Prismana Form Aniimo.

Teleporting is a quick way to move your character. To use it, select a transportable icon on the map. Teleportable icons are usually blue, such as Outposts, Branches, Blooms, and Sanctums.
