FAQ

Who is Helion in Aniimo?

Helion is one of the two starter Aniimo — a Light-element, close-range melee fighter with high burst damage. You choose between Helion and Lunara at the start of the game.

Is Helion a good starter?

Yes for aggressive players. Helion rewards getting in close and eliminating targets with burst damage. It is intuitive to play, which makes it friendly for action-RPG newcomers.

Should I pick Helion or Lunara?

Pick Helion for melee burst and straightforward combat; pick Lunara for ranged attacks and battlefield control. Both are Light-element, so the choice is playstyle, not elements.

Can I get Helion later if I pick Lunara?

Not by wild catch — Helion is not found in the wild and has no wild Alpha (via AniimoTools, October 8, 2026). The documented route is eggs: an Alpha Egg hatches a local Aniimo with the Alpha mutation, a Wonder Egg one with at least Alpha or Sparkling — and neither egg names the Aniimo it holds, so a specific hatch is not guaranteed. Idyll still has many more Light Aniimo to catch afterward.

Do Helion and Lunara have the same stats?

Yes. The official companion wiki at launch lists an identical base stat line for both starters — Attributes 514 (HP 100, ATK 116, BREAK 64, P.DEF/M.DEF 72, REGEN 90). The difference is the kit: Helion is a physical melee fighter, Lunara a magic ranged attacker.

Who is Helion?

Helion is one of the two starter Aniimo in Aniimo — the close-range pick. It is a Light-element melee fighter that deals burst damage in small areas: you close the distance, unload, and the target goes down. Per the official site, new players select their starting creature (“Prismana Form”) as part of becoming a Wayfarer, and this is the brawler option of the two.

How does Helion play?

Helion rewards committing to the fight. Its kit is built around closing gaps and dealing heavy damage up front, with simple, readable rotations that make it the more intuitive starter for players new to action RPGs. The trade-offs are what you would expect from a melee brawler: short range means you take more hits, and groups require positioning rather than raw damage.

At a glance:

Strengths — high burst up close; simple combo flow; excellent at eliminating single targets; intuitive to learn.

Weaknesses — takes more damage at melee range; weaker against scattered groups without good positioning; less utility for exploration and puzzle-style traversal.

Should you pick Helion or Lunara?

Pick Helion if you like being in the middle of the fight: melee combat, boss duels, and damage numbers you can feel. Pick Lunara if you would rather control space from a distance. Both are Light-element and both are viable — the choice shapes your first hours of combat feel, not your account’s fate, because Idyll is full of catchable Aniimo that diversify your options quickly.

What are Helion’s stats?

Sourced from the official companion wiki for the launch build (September 16, 2026) — Helion is listed there as a DPS with element label “holy” (displayed as Light in official English marketing):

Stat	Value
Attributes (total)	514
HP	100
ATK	116
BREAK	64
P.DEF	72
M.DEF	72
REGEN	90

That base line is identical to Lunara’s — officially confirmed now, not just community assumption. What separates the two starters is the kit. Helion’s trait Solar Grace raises final damage by 30% when attacking without an elemental advantage, and every 4 basic attacks grant a Solar Halo that empowers the next skill — a self-sufficient loop for a starter that carries you through neutral matchups. The skill set is physical and melee-flavored: Light Bombardment (diving strike), Holy Roar (stacking Light damage), Sun-Kissed (EP recovery), Holy Storm (a pull-in vortex with heavy BREAK damage), and the Helios’ Judgment ultimate — the official page notes it evolves him into Soleon for the rest of the fight with a damage bonus.
