FAQ
What does BREAK do in Aniimo?
It damages enemy poise/guard so they take your real damage — game8's comps always carry one, and several DPS traits (Pawney's +30% into BREAKed targets) reward the pairing.
Who is the best BREAK creature?
Tubster and Geoclaw headline the role at S tier; Inferlupa is the S-tier hybrid that also deals the damage.
Is BREAK a starter-friendly role?
