Capability Awakening Guide

This Capability Awakening Guide shows how to raise Aniimo's Acquired Potential. Read to learn how to raise Acquired Potential, what materials to use, and how to get them.

List of Contents

What is Capability Awakening?

Raise Aniimo's Acquired Potential

Raising Acquired Potential

Capability Awakening is the main method of raising your Aniimo's Acquired Potential. Note that Acquired Potential is different from Innate Potential, which are your Aniimo's natural Potential stats after hatching or getting caught.

Raising Acquired Potential, specifically the stats your Aniimo wants (e.g. ATK for DPS, Regen for Support), is how they become more effective in battle. Potential Levels are maxed out at 20, though you can exceed this by having bonuses (shown by the blue numbers next to the Potential Level) from either raising your Star Rank or equipping certain Held Items.

How to Increase Stats

Be Mindful While Raising Stats

The game will recommend which stats to aim for when raising your Aniimo's Acquired Potential, indicated by a blue thumbs-up icon beside the desired stat. However, make sure not to neglect the other stats, as well. For example, your Aniimo should always have a level or two invested in HP, as you lose once all of your Aniimo are down.

Level Up to Increase Capability Awakening Count

Capability Awakening Count
Level Capability Awakening Count
Levels 1-44 5
Level 45 10
Level 55 20
Level 60 30

Upon reaching Level 45, your aniimo's Capability Awakening Count will increase to 10. This increases again to 20 once they hit Level 55, before capping at 30 once they are Level 60.

Level up your character and get promoted via beating Elite Training Guide missions to increase the level cap of your Aniimo.

Capability Awakening Count is Also Increased by Star Rank

Raising Star Rank
Star Rank Capability Awakening Count
T5 +5
T6 +8
T7 +10

The number of Capability Awakenings you can do is also dependent on your Aniimo's Star Rank. From T5 onwards, your Capability Awakening Count will also increase, providing up to 23 additional Awakening Counts upon reaching T7.

How to Raise Resonance Star Rank

Awakened Capability Cannot Be Reset Above Level 60

Reset Awakened Capability

If you want to redo raising your Aniimo's stats, you can reset their Awakened Capability as long as they are not above Level 60 yet. Once they are past Level 60, all stats raised are permanent and cannot be reset anymore.

If you reset, all Star Dust, Star Sand, and Starcryst Essence consumed will be refunded. Resets are also unlimited (as long as you have enough Credits), so be sure to experiment with raising your Aniimo's stats before committing to leveling them up fully.

How to Do Capability Awakening

Go to Aniimo Management Screen

Step Instructions
1
Aniimo Management Screen
Go to the Aniimo Management screen and select the Aniimo whose stats you want to raise. Press the Training button at the lower-right corner.
2 Capability Awakening Tab
Switch to the Capability Awakening tab.
3 Selecting Stats
Select the stat you want to raise.
4
Capability Awakening
Check if you have the right amount of materials and press Awaken. The game will also indicate how many Potential Levels you've gained via Capability Awakening.

How to Get Materials for Capability Awakening

Fight Weekly Aniimo Bosses

Weekly Bosses

The main method of earning Capability Awakening materials is to fight weekly Alpha and Omega Aniimo Bosses. This can be done thrice per week, and attempting these fights won't drop resources anymore after that.

Omega Sherro is the best resource for Star Dust (x10) and Star Sand (x4), while Omega Infergon is the only one who drops Starcryst Essence (x2).

Dailies and Weeklies Guide

Coilstrike Club

Coilstrike Club

The Coilstrike Club in Astra sells useful materials for improving Aniimo, including Star Dust and Star Sand. Do note that buying these will cost you Voxel Coins instead of Credits and that there is a limit to how much you can buy.

How to Get Voxel Coins

Stamp Shop

Stamp Shop

The Stamp Shop sells 5 Star Dust for every 20 Windborn Stamps spent, with a weekly buying limit of 10. This is a total of 50 Star Dust, costing 200 Windborn Stamps. This is a good investment if you want to hit the spending limit needed to unlock other premium items in the Stamp Shop.

Stamp Shop Guide

Item Exchange

Item Exchange

Buying the Daily Supply Pack at the Item Exchange Shop can get you 3 Star Dust and 1 Star Sand, though each pack costs 50 Primegy to buy. If you have an excess amount of Star Dust, you can also exchange it for more Star Sand here.
