Personalities
Every Aniimo has a four letter personality, such as ENFP. It gets one letter from each of four pairs. Each letter adds a small combat bonus and a Homeland work bonus. Match the letters to the role: Energetic and Nimble for DPS, Energetic and Practical for Break, and Instinctive and Judicious for healers and support. A Psyche Fruit costs 100 Glimmer and gives a whole new personality at random. So save it for an Aniimo you plan to keep.
What each letter does
| Letter | Slot | Combat bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Energetic (E) | 1 | ATK +2%, BREAK +2% |
| Instinctive (I) | 1 | REGEN +4% |
| Practical (S) | 2 | DMG +4% |
| Nimble (N) | 2 | Crit Rate +5% |
| Tenacious (T) | 3 | P.DEF +6% |
| Faithful (F) | 3 | M.DEF +6% |
| Judicious (J) | 4 | HP +4% |
| Playful (P) | 4 | DMG Reduction +4% |
Each slot holds one of its two letters. So an Aniimo never gets both bonuses from the same slot. In Aniimo Management, blue labels mark E, S, T and J. Pink labels mark I, N, F and P.
The best personality for each role
| Role | Letters to look for | Personalities |
|---|---|---|
| DPS | Energetic and Nimble | ENFP, ENTP, ENFJ, ENTJ |
| Break | Energetic and Practical | ESTP, ESFP, ESTJ, ESFJ |
| Heal and Support | Instinctive and Judicious | ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ |
Practical also suits a DPS in slot two. It gives flat damage instead of crit. A healer gets nothing from Practical, because it isn't the one dealing damage.
Check and change a personality
- Open Aniimo Management and select the Aniimo. You'll see its four letter personality in its details.
- Buy a Psyche Fruit for 100 Glimmer. You can get one from Joff at the Outpost, or in the Shop under Item, then Glimmer.
- Open your inventory and go to the Aniimo Items tab. Then feed the Psyche Fruit to the Aniimo.
- The new personality is random, and it applies right away. Keep trying until you get the letters you want.
There's no confirmation screen. A Psyche Fruit changes the personality as soon as you use it. You can't get the old one back.
Helion and Lunara are locked
The starters can't change personality. Helion is always ENFP, and Lunara is always ISTJ. If you feed either one a Psyche Fruit, you only get an error.
Personality and evolution
A few evolutions check personality letters. Budclaw only becomes Geoclaw if its personality includes Tenacious. Budsquire only becomes Melloblum if it includes Faithful. Missing the letter? A Psyche Fruit can fix it.
The Homeland bonus
Personality matters in your Homeland too. Each letter raises an Aniimo's work efficiency by 20% at certain Homeland facilities. For example, Practical helps at the Claw Game Cooker, and Tenacious at the Carousel Mill. Faithful helps at the Joy Wheel Loom, and Judicious at the Crafting Table. There are others too.

What do personalities do in Aniimo?
Each of the four letters adds a small bonus that's always on. For example, Nimble gives Crit Rate +5%, and Judicious gives HP +4%. The letters also speed up Homeland work at certain facilities.
What is the best personality in Aniimo?
It depends on the role. DPS want Energetic and Nimble, such as ENFP. Break wants Energetic and Practical, such as ESTP. Healers and support want Instinctive and Judicious, such as ISTJ.
How do you change an Aniimo's personality?
Feed it a Psyche Fruit from the Aniimo Items tab of your inventory. The new personality is random and applies right away. Watch out: there's no confirmation.
Where do you get Psyche Fruit?
Buy it for 100 Glimmer from Joff at the Outpost, or in the Glimmer shop. It's also a reward in the Tracing the Trail: The Shadow of Legend event, which runs until 9 December.
Can you change Helion's or Lunara's personality?
No. Helion is locked at ENFP, and Lunara is locked at ISTJ.
How many personalities are there in Aniimo?
There are sixteen. That's every combination of one letter from each pair: E or I, S or N, T or F, and J or P.
Does personality affect evolution?
Yes, for a few Aniimo. Budclaw needs Tenacious to become Geoclaw, and Budsquire needs Faithful to become Melloblum.
What does the Energetic personality do?
Energetic gives ATK +2% and BREAK +2%. It's in the first slot, opposite Instinctive, so an Aniimo has one or the other.
Should I use Psyche Fruit early?
Wait until you know which Aniimo you'll keep, because each fruit costs 100 Glimmer and the result is random.
