HoYoverse is expanding the Honkai series with a brand new title, Honkai: Nexus Anima. This strategy adventure game combines open world exploration with a creature collecting system similar to that of Pokémon. Players will encounter companions known as Anima each with its own backstory, traits, and more details yet to be revealed.
So far, 32 adorably designed Anima have been revealed, with many more still to come. Each Anima is unique, featuring its own backstory, height, Trait, Aspect, and Energy.
What Do We Know So Far?
Traits – From what we currently know there are 9 different traits that Anima can have. These can be seen in the list below:
- Strike
- Explorer
- Gladiator
- Protector
- Blaster
- Mastermind
- Hothead
- Cherubim
- Mascot
Although we don’t know what these traits do exactly we can assume that they correspond with the Anima’s Fighting style and overall role.
Aspect – There are 16 known Aspects that we have been made aware of so far. See below a list of the Aspects known:
- Satiation
- Hate
- Light
- Memory
- Dark
- Love
- War
- Change
- Beauty
- Peace
- Right
- Insatiability
- Competition
- Regret
- Weakness
- Pride
We can assume from leaked information and officially released gameplay that an Aspect is a key game mechanic within this Auto Chess Style mode. Many of these Aspects look like natural opposites (for example Light vs Dark, Love vs Hate). Rather than defining an Animas class or role, Aspects likely influence how an Anima may interact in battle such as by granting advantages or by giving special bonuses when combined.
As the Beta begins and the full release arrives, we’ll gain a clearer picture of how these collectible creatures function, including their abilities, interactions, and the systems that shape gameplay.
