Best support Aniimo: buffing the team and weakening the target
Support buffs your team and weakens the enemy. It is the third most populated role, with 19 species, and it is very unevenly spread: Wind alone has six, while Ice and Holy have none. The ranking rewards durability and regeneration, not attack.

Support is the role that never shows up in damage numbers but changes how long a fight lasts. 19 species carry it, making it the third most populated role in the game.
The top of the ranking
How they are ranked
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| REGEN | 30 % |
| Stat total | 30 % |
| M.DEF | 20 % |
| P.DEF | 20 % |
A support does not need to hit hard: it needs to stay on the field and reapply its effects. Hence both defences at 20 % and regeneration on top. The total weighs as much as regeneration because a fragile support does not last long enough to apply anything.
A very lopsided spread
| Element | Supports |
|---|---|
| Wind | 6 |
| Electric | 4 |
| Rock | 3 |
| Dark | 3 |
| Fire, Water, Grass | 1 each |
| Ice, Holy | 0 |
Wind holds almost a third of the role. Conversely, if your team is built around Ice or Holy, support has to come from elsewhere — and that is often what pushes players to bring in an element they had not planned for.
What the ranking cannot see
This is the role where our stats say the least, and that is worth stating:
- The actual effects live in the skills, not in the six base stats. Two supports with the same total can do radically different things.
- A support’s value depends on the team around it. An effect that boosts attack is worth nothing without someone to use it.
So treat this ranking as a starting point: it tells you who stays standing, not who makes the best combo. The combat mechanics themselves are detailed in combat basics.
Frequently asked questions
What is a support Aniimo for?
Buffing the team and weakening enemies. It is the role that makes the others better rather than dealing the damage itself.
How many support Aniimo are there?
19 out of 86. Wind has six, Electric four, Rock and Dark three each; Ice and Holy have none.
Support or healer?
Support acts upstream: it reduces the damage you take instead of repairing it afterwards. In short fights it often does more than healing.
How are supports ranked?
REGEN 30 %, total 30 %, M.DEF 20 %, P.DEF 20 %: it rewards an Aniimo that lasts and reapplies its effects often.
