All 25 Held Items, Effects and Contracts in Aniimo

Supreme Elixir gives your Aniimo a big final damage boost, but its max HP drops to 1. Ferocious Fang asks nothing in return: plain ATK that grows with level. The right pick is the item your Aniimo can actually trigger, not the one with the flashiest line of text.

How Rare, Epic and Legendary Held Items Work in Aniimo

Every held item comes in Rare, Epic and Legendary, and the core effect is the same in all three. Rarity sets the stat bonus and how far the item can be enhanced. A Rare stops at +5. An Epic reaches +10, where the first advanced effect switches on. Only a Legendary goes to +15, where the second advanced effect unlocks and the item can take a contract.

You enhance an item by feeding it Held Item Cores. The core effect is there from the start, and the +10 and +15 effects are what those cores earn you.

Where Aniimo Held Items Drop: Alphas, Chests and Elite Training

Alphas are the dependable source. Most of them hand you a held item on the first clear, and later wins can drop more. Minespine and Geoclaw are the fights worth repeating, since both keep dropping held items after the first clear.

Chests around Idyll can hold held items of any rarity. Elite Training is a core source too, and its 90-badge milestone pays out an Advanced Held Item Pack.

What a Held Item Contract Does and How to Form One

Bring a Legendary held item to +15 and the contract opens. Press Form Contract, pick a creature family and pay the Mark of the Strong: Breezy Plains. From then on, every Aniimo of that family that wears the item gets its signature skill enhanced.

A family is a whole evolution line. Emberpup, Flameruff, Scorchhowl and Inferlupa all belong to the same family, and both Scorchhowl and Inferlupa have a signature skill the contract can upgrade. You can look up each skill in the skills list.

Ferocious Fang is the example worth knowing. Contracted to the Emberpup line, it gives Scorchhowl's Burn Breaker a dash of up to 6 meters to your lock-on target at max charge. Put the same item on an Aniimo from another family and the pact effect stays off.

Best Held Items for DPS, BREAK, Heal and Support Aniimo

Start with the plain-stat items. Ferocious Fang suits attackers, Gargantuan Horn suits Break Aniimo, Spirited Feather suits Support and REGEN Aniimo, and Giant Tortoise Shell suits a healer or any Aniimo that has to survive. Their core effects need nothing from your Aniimo, so they fit almost any build. The +15 bonuses have conditions of their own, like ATK above 15, so check that stat before you count on them.

Everything else asks something of your Aniimo, and that's where a slot gets wasted. Pearl of the Sea does nothing on dry land, and Supreme Elixir does nothing for a Support Aniimo. Look up your Aniimo's role on the full roster, then match the item to the habit:
