Aniimo Thornblade: Location, Stats, and Evolution Guide

Officially indexed as No.035, Thornblade is a Grass Aniimo that fills the DPS role. With Aniimo’s September 16, 2026 release locked in, here is the complete confirmed profile: attributes, stat spread, evolution family, where it lives, and every skill on its sheet. We’ll layer live player data on top after launch.

Thornblade Base Stats

HP	ATK	P.DEF	M.DEF	BREAK	REGEN	Total
96	121	70	70	50	92	499

Six attributes sum to the total shown on the official index; ATK covers physical attack while BREAK scales guard damage. These are launch-preview base numbers — inherit building and equipment will move the final values.

Element and Role

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

The DPS tag means its kit is built to deal the bulk of its team’s damage. In practice you Twine into it during damage windows and swap out when you need defense or healing.

Evolution Line

The official evolution tree places Thornblade on a line with Budsquire (stage 1) → Thornblade (stage 3) → Melloblum (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.

Building around the Grass element? Shrubclaw is another confirmed Grass pick.

Is Thornblade Good?
