Fire Kick looks like a plain dive until you dodge with it. Time the leap against an incoming attack and it hits for 120% damage and gives the user a 20% damage boost for 20 seconds. Plenty of Aniimo skills work that way. The real payoff sits behind a dodge, a counter or a mark that an earlier skill set up, and the power number won't show any of it.

How Basic Attacks, Skills and Ultimates Fit Together
Every Aniimo has a free basic attack in one of its elements. It costs no EP and fires between skills, so it's what you fall back on when nothing else is ready. Most skills spend EP, which makes the cost matter as much as the power when you choose what to fire. Each ultimate belongs to a single Aniimo, and they aren't all big hits. Some ultimates heal the team, some boost a whole party's damage, and some wrap allies in damage reduction.
Physical, Magical and Utility Skills in Aniimo
Most skills hit as Physical or Magical. Utility skills are built around a buff, a heal, a shield or an EP refill, and a few of them still hit. Eko's Sonar Attack is one of those: it damages targets in a cone, and its final hit applies Weakness Mark.
Every skill also has its own element, and it doesn't always match the Aniimo that uses it. Pebble Kick is an Earth skill, and the Emberpup line, which is Fire, learns it. When you build a team around an element, check each skill's element instead of only the Aniimo's.
Dodge Dives and Counter Stances That Reward Timing
Some kits pay you for reading the enemy:
Dodge dives. Fire Kick, Lightning Kick, Pebble Kick and Blossoming Moment leap up to dodge an attack. Pull off a successful dodge and the follow-up pays out. Fire Kick deals 120% damage and boosts the user's damage by 20% for 20 seconds, Lightning Kick paralyzes what it hits for 5 seconds, and Pebble Kick inflicts Blockade for 8 seconds. Blossoming Moment grants a shield equal to 10% of max HP for 20 seconds instead.
Counter stances. Aqua Defense, Thorny Defense and Wind Counter cut damage taken and counterattack when hit. Get hit the moment you cast one and it pays out: Aqua Defense applies Lockdown for 12 seconds, Thorny Defense raises Crit Rate by 30% for 15 seconds, and Wind Counter adds 20% BREAK Efficiency for 10 seconds and stuns for 1.5 seconds.
Charge and release. Burn Breaker charges up and, at full charge, spends all the EP you have left. Every extra 10 EP adds 30% damage. Energy Orb steps up its damage the longer you hold it, and Wild Show adds 30% BREAK damage when you release at the right moment.
Setup Skills and the Marks They Leave Behind
Plenty of kits come in pairs. One skill sets up a mark or debuff, and the next one cashes it in.
Fire Debuff. Fiery Punch and Lava Punch remove every Fire Debuff stack from the target and add damage for each one. Burning Sun adds 2% damage per stack, and Magma Surge stuns a target carrying more than 5 stacks.
Pinecone Marks. Squarrel and Squashel plant a Pinecone Mark with Pinecone Bomb. Heavy Tail Strike spends it for 50% more damage, a launch and a 2.5-second stun, and Blazing Fist Barrage spends it to turn the next basic attack into Punch Rush.
Claw Marks. Fanatic Clawing applies them while the user is Enraged, and Critical Hit and Earthquake spend them.
Fox Marks. Lumin Bolts apply a Fox Mark that lowers Light Resistance on every hit, and Moon Impact splashes extra damage around any target carrying one.
Weakness Mark. Detect Weakness and Sonar Attack apply it, Target Weakness marks everything in view, and Arc Strike stuns enemies that carry it.
Team Buff Ultimates and Support Moves in Aniimo
Each of these ultimates boosts one element for the allies around it: Sparkelf's Keep the Fire Bolt Going!, Piopiota's Wrath of the Sea, Tromber's Zephyr's Breath, Dreaple's Dream Blast, Fragrancier's Fragrance Bomb, Erlath's Crazy Bubbles and Melloblum's Rose Garden. Because each one is tied to a single element, they pay off most in a party built around that element. Line them up with the Aniimo you pick from the Aniimo roster.
Healing ultimates take a few shapes. Gracewing's Help! Gracewing! heals the whole team instantly, Glacy's Spring of Life keeps a healing zone that restores allies inside it, and Leafy's Lotus Bloom heals the team and adds a Grass boost. Tubster's Truce is the defensive one: allies in its field take 35% less damage for 7 seconds.
Once you know which moves you want, see which held items suit the build and which Aniipods help you catch the Aniimo that know them.
