Aniimo tier list: compare roles, PvE and Prismana forms
Which Aniimo tier list should you use? Match your mode, exact form and team job first. The six examples below compare current published placements; they are a starting point for checking a pick, with the original grades and sources kept beside each name.
Checked · Publisher rankings, not our own combat tests · Current client-build coverage unconfirmed
Six selected publisher placements checked 10 October 2026. Hideout specifies Basic where shown; Guide uses its PvE tab; AnIIDex does not label these rows by form.
Three upper-band placements are useful reading pointers; they do not prove the same build, form or team was tested.
Only explicitly named forms are carried across. A species-only label is not proof of Basic or Prismana coverage. The columns are attributed snapshots, not a combined score or an instruction to replace an owned teammate.
Turn a tier into a useful team question
Choosing a damage dealer?
Use the Sherro row to identify the disagreement, then ask what each method rewards. Compare your actual target, available partners and upgrade budget. A model leader and an editorial pick answer different questions; neither grade alone tells you which owned unit will fix your next encounter.
Missing a Break opening?
Read the Rookey row with the role definitions below. Find out whether a source evaluates direct Break output or puts several jobs in one group. Replacing a unit because another has a higher letter can leave the same team problem unresolved when the two perform different jobs.
Need sustain or support?
For Glacy and Melloblum, inspect the category before the grade. Ask whether you need healing, energy recovery or a partner effect. A broad Support label can hide that distinction. Keep the role, form and intended partner together when making a shortlist.
MATCH THE FORM YOU OWN
Basic and Prismana can occupy different tiers
A form name belongs with its grade. Hideout now lists forms separately. Aniimo Guide has a dedicated Prismana tab; its PvE column below is the species entry, not an independently confirmed Basic-form test. These three pairs show why a species-only search result is incomplete.
Selected form comparisons on the same source pages, checked 10 October 2026. Arrows compare entries, not upgrades or changes over time.
Prismana is not automatically higher on every published board. Treat the two entries as separate assessments.
These arrows compare separate entries, not a before-and-after balance change. A higher band is also not a promise that a form is easy to obtain, cheap to train or stronger in every encounter. This page does not supply an acquisition guarantee or a measured damage increase for changing forms.
When a screenshot omits the form, open the source entry rather than filling the gap from its portrait. If your exact regional or Prismana form has no reviewed row, keep that comparison unresolved. You can still shortlist a role, but should not apply another form's placement to it.
PAGE DATE ≠ GAME BUILD
Source dates, version scope and methods
Hideout: form-specific editorial list
Hideout's current page credits Em, ranked 4 October 2026, and describes a live-game S–D list. It separates forms and omits unrated entries. No separate PvE/PvP mode or exact client build is stated. It replaces the beta-era Lex list described in our September comparison.
Aniimo Guide: modes and creator inputs
Guide's page labels itself version 1.1, updated 3 October. PvE combines creator rankings; PvP uses base stats; Prismana draws on separate creator opinions. Its Break group combines Break/Support, and Support combines Heal/Regen. The version is the publisher's label, not our confirmation of today's client.
AnIIDex: a role-relative model
AnIIDex, updated 28 September, describes calculations at level 70 from game files with equal EP income. It evaluates five roles separately and assigns letters relative to each role's leader. Its overall board therefore compares relative role scores, not one universal damage measurement.
Our check date records when these pages and selected rows were readable. A publisher's update date records its own revision label. Neither establishes that every placement was retested against your server, patch, build or equipment. Where that connection is missing, this comparison leaves it unconfirmed.
Keep the original source open when using a row: a later revision can change the answer. If two sources disagree, first check whether they are discussing the same object and mode. Only then compare the method. Averaging a letter with a numbered tier would produce a score whose meaning neither source defines.
Why Break and Support labels need context
AnIIDex's five evaluations cover DPS damage, Break-gauge output, Support's contribution to a partner, Regen's EP contribution and Heal's HP recovery. Read those as the publisher's modeling choices. Guide's three display groups merge some of these jobs; Hideout presents five separate role columns.
This explains a category mismatch without resolving a performance dispute. Melloblum being under Guide's Break heading does not show that its actual role changed. Likewise, Glacy under a broad Support heading does not make it interchangeable with every partner-focused Support unit. Check the individual entry for the intended job.
For PvP, switch the original page to PvP before comparing. Our main table deliberately uses Guide's PvE view. Do not carry a PvE placement into a duel or read its stat-derived PvP board as a tested matchup forecast. If your question is about one opponent or a particular squad, a tier is only one input.
What about community votes?
Aniimo Tools, checked with its live page dated 10 October 2026, separates a community board and an editorial view. Its community votes mix power, design and nostalgia, with forms rated separately. Use that board to explore player preferences; do not treat vote share as measured strength or merge it with the grades above.
A community favorite can be a useful name to investigate. For a team decision, follow through to the source's reasoning and compare the exact form you own. A live vote percentage changes with participation, while an editorial grade changes with its author's assessment. The two signals need different context.
CHOOSE YOUR NEXT TASK
Need Homeland workers instead of combat ranks?
Start with the recipe's Home ability and required level. The worker directory links reviewed exact forms to their source-reported Home abilities. Choose candidates you actually own, then use the Finder to inspect coverage. A combat tier does not establish work speed, recipe throughput or a production optimum.
For example, Sherro Basic Form has source-reported Water Lv 3 and Leisure Lv 3 in our reviewed records. For a Water task, compare Water workers or open the Finder at Water Lv 3. Verify the form in your game, add only a worker you own, and return to your plan. That is an ability-coverage decision, separate from this combat comparison.
Quick answers
Which source should I start with?
For a form-specific editorial pick, start with Hideout. For separate PvE, PvP and Prismana views, start with Guide. For role-relative calculations, start with AnIIDex. Choose the method that matches your question and read its limits before upgrading a unit.
Does S equal T0?
There is no common conversion here. A role-relative letter and a creator-derived numbered tier use different inputs. Keep both original labels instead of manufacturing an average.
Is Prismana always ranked higher?
No universal increase is established. The paired examples above include unchanged, higher and lower bands across the sources. An entry's grade applies to that source's assessment, not every form of the species.
Does this confirm the current game version?
No. Source pages were checked on 10 October 2026, but exact current client-build coverage remains unconfirmed. Guide's version label is attributed to Guide; it does not certify this entire comparison.
Is this our own strongest-Aniimo ranking?
This is a limited source comparison with original reading guidance. We have not measured a complete combat roster or an optimal squad. Use the linked original boards for their full coverage and later revisions.
