Does Aniimo have PvP?
No. Aniimo has no standalone PvP (player versus player) or ranked mode. You can't battle other players or your friends directly. Operation: Egg Heist is the only mode the game describes as PvP. But its live Team Mode plays as co-op, with your team against the Sanctum's Aniimo. The developers plan casual competitive modes for the second half of the season.
Every mode with other players, and whether it is PvP
| Mode | Who you play against | PvP? |
|---|---|---|
| Operation: Egg Heist | The Sanctum's Aniimo, with a team of up to three | Called PvEvP by the game; plays as co-op today |
| Holo-Battle Interlink | Alpha fights on three weekly routes, co-op | No |
| Companion Mode | The open world, with up to four players | No |
| Sanctums and bosses | The game's challenges, as a Party | No |
| Pathfinder duels | Characters from the game, not players | No |
| Aniimo Exchange | Trading with friends, no battle | No |
Is Egg Heist PvP?
Not in practice yet. The game describes Operation: Egg Heist as PvEvP, which means players against the game and against other players. But the live Team Mode is co-op. You find the activated Sanctum, roll the egg out of the nest and escape. You play against the Sanctum's Aniimo, not other teams.
Good news: it does have a rank ladder, from Rookie Egg Hunter to Egg Emperor. You only earn rank points from successful extractions, which means escaping safely. That ladder is the closest thing Aniimo has to ranked play.
Will Aniimo get PvP?
The developers have said casual competitive modes are coming in the second half of the season. They haven't said anything about a ranked ladder or direct battles between players.
