Best Holy Aniimo — The Starter Element Explained (2026)
Holy is Aniimo's starter element: exactly two creatures — Helion and Lunara — both S tier, both DPS, with identical 504 stats and combat-only transformations.
Holy is the smallest element in Aniimo by design: exactly two creatures — the starters Helion and Lunara — and both sit in S tier. It is the element every player starts with, and the launch meta treats it as a genuine damage plan, not a tutorial tax.
Stated by developer · 2026-09-17Quick answer: both holy creatures are S-tier DPS — Lunara (massive base ATK, the community's beginner pick) and Helion (top-tier DPS, melee burst). The launch holy comp runs Helion/Fennelun + Rookey + Prismana Glacy + Somniwing — import BREAK, support and sustain from specials. Full breakdown below.

Catching holy Aniimo
Spawns follow environment, weather, phenomena and time of day — officially. Use the creature database to find each creature's Habitat block on the official wiki, then route with the map guide; form-hunting (Highland, Beach, Nighttime and 16 more official forms) is where element-collecting gets profitable. The launch codes on the codes page currently grant Aniipod Pros — the catching currency that matters.
FAQ
Are the starters really both S tier?
Yes — game8 ranks Helion and Lunara as a shared top-tier DPS slot, which is why the starter choice is about play style, not power.
What element are the starters?
Holy — the official wiki's filter name. Some community guides call it Light. Two of 86 indexed creatures carry it.
Do starters evolve into Soleon and Fennelun?
Not permanently — those forms are combat transformations (community-documented, consistent with the official wiki showing no evolution blocks for starters). Details in the evolution guide.
