Element and Role

As an Ice creature, Cheekie’s attacks deal 1.6x damage into Water and Lightning and are resisted to 0.625x by Fire, Ice, Earth and Wind. Aniimo has no immunities, and same-element hits are always resisted — the full grid is on our type chart.

The Breaker tag marks a kit focused on breaking enemy guards and stagger bars. Teams pair a Breaker like Cheekie with a DPS who benefits from openings it creates.

Evolution Line

The official evolution tree places Cheekie on a line with Cheekie (stage 1) → Wavwal (stage 3). Each stage raises the stat ceiling and unlocks stronger skill variants, so base-form investment carries forward through the family.

How bonding and stage-ups actually play out in-game is covered in our evolution guide.
