What Is Eklue in Aniimo?
You want Eklue on your team if you run crit-heavy builds. This Nova-stage Wind Aniimo slots into the Support role and functions as your team’s sonar operator. It carries number 032 in the Aniilog. Eklue pings enemy weak points with sonar pulses, marking targets so every DPS unit in your party lands harder critical hits.
Its core kit revolves around the Detect Weakness skill. That skill applies a Weakness Mark that chips away 12% of the target’s CRIT resistance. The ultimate, Target Weakness, extends that same marking effect to every enemy in view and shreds their Wind resistance by an additional 20%. Against wind-focused enemies or Wind DPS teammates on your roster, this is devastating.
Base stats sit at 6,430 total, with a base magic attack of 120. Eklue evolves from Eko and is one of the most synergy-dependent supports in the entire Aniimo roster. Wild spawn data shows zero spawn points, so you cannot find one in the wild. You raise an Eko and evolve it. Teams built around crit scaling treat Eklue as mandatory equipment.
Eklue Base Stats
| Stat | Base |
|---|---|
| HP | 5,610 |
| ATK | 280 |
| P.DEF | 145 |
| REGEN | 141 |
| M.DEF | 117 |
| BREAK | 137 |
| Total | 6,430 |
That 280 ATK is unusually high for a Support-type Aniimo. Most supports lean into healing or shielding. Eklue swings arcs that actually hurt. Paired with 145 P.DEF and 141 REGEN, you get a unit that stays alive through extended encounters while dealing meaningful damage. There is no weakness here that demands fixing. The kit functions cohesively across every combat phase.
Eklue Skills Breakdown
Every skill in Eklue’s pool ties back to the sonar marking identity:
- Ice Arc Strike (Might 20, 10 EP, 15s cooldown): An ice-element arc for elemental coverage. Useful against Fire-resistant enemies.
- Detect Weakness (Might 0, 0 EP, 15s cooldown): Your bread and butter. Emits a continuous sonar pulse. Hold a target’s weak point inside the beam for 0.8 seconds and the Weakness Mark applies. This cuts CRIT resistance by 12% for 20 seconds. Upgraded versions reduce the required hold time to 0.4 seconds and apply a 5% damage reduction debuff on top. ATK scaling pushes the CRIT resistance cut up to 21%.
- Arc Strike (Might 20, 10 EP, 15s cooldown): The plain Wind-element version. Reliable baseline damage.
- Tactical Kick (Might 45, 20 EP, 1s cooldown): This is your main DPS tool. A 1-second cooldown means you spam it relentlessly while the sonar mark is active.
- Water Arc Strike (Might 20, 10 EP, 5s cooldown): Water-element variant with a shorter cooldown for consistent pressure.
- ATK (Might 6, 0.1s cooldown): Basic attack. Quick procs that build skill gauge.
- Target Weakness (Might 0, ultimate, 8s cooldown): The showpiece. Applies Weakness Mark to every visible target simultaneously for 30 seconds and reduces all marked enemies’ Wind resistance by 20%. ATK scaling can push the resistance shred up to 35%.
Your rotation is straightforward: open with Target Weakness on cooldown, maintain Detect Weakness on priority targets between abilities, and pour damage into Tactical Kick while marks are active. That is how you extract maximum value from this unit.
Eklue Evolution Line
Eklue evolves from Eko (#031), a Lumin-stage Wind Support. Eko has 38 recorded spawn points across the map, which makes hunting one significantly easier than searching for a Nova-stage directly. The Eko line introduces the Sonar Attack mechanic early, so the design direction is consistent from the beginning. Eklue has no further evolutions past Nova. You are looking at a clean two-stage line: Eko at Lumin, Eklue at Nova. The sonar concept scales from single-target cone pulses on Eko into a full-screen marking ultimate on Eklue. Plan your resource investment accordingly — every skill point and training item you put into Eko carries directly into Eklue.
Where to Find Eklue
Wild spawn data lists zero spawn points for Eklue. You cannot encounter one in the open world. Your path is:
- Hunt Eko — Check all 38 spawn locations using the Aniimo tracker. Raise the strongest Eko you can find.
- Evolve — Level that Eko through its stages until it reaches Nova and transforms into Eklue.
- Check event banners — Support-tier Nova units occasionally rotate through limited-time banners. Keep an eye on announcements.
The farming route is straightforward but requires patience. Eko spawns are scattered but reachable. Prioritize stats during the Lumin stage so Eklue inherits strong base values after evolution.
Should You Use Eklue?
Yes, if your team relies on critical hits. Period. A 12–21% CRIT resistance reduction that spans the entire battlefield during the ultimate is rare among Support units. Most supports provide healing or damage mitigation. Eklue provides raw offensive amplification that no heal or shield can match in damage-check content.
The additional 20% Wind resistance shred from the ultimate also pairs naturally with Wind DPS units like Cornet. If you run a Wind-element team, Eklue becomes the linchpin that makes every member perform above their base output.
Crit-based teams will find Eklue non-negotiable. It is not a nice-to-have. It is the multiplier that separates a competent team from a dominant one.
Eklue FAQ
What element is Eklue?
Eklue is a Wind-element Aniimo. Its arc skills also carry Ice and Water variants for elemental flexibility against different enemy resistances.
How does Detect Weakness work?
Detect Weakness fires a sonar pulse from Eklue’s tail amplifier. Hold a target’s weak point in the beam for 0.8 seconds to apply Weakness Mark, reducing CRIT resistance by 12% for 20 seconds. Upgrades reduce hold time to 0.4 seconds and add a damage reduction debuff. ATK scaling pushes the CRIT resistance cut to 21%.
What does Eklue evolve from?
Eklue evolves from Eko (#031), a Lumin-stage Wind Support with 38 recorded spawn points.
Is Eklue worth using on crit teams?
Absolutely. The Weakness Mark system exists to inflate critical hit performance. The Target Weakness ultimate marks every visible enemy while shredding 20% Wind resistance. That combination makes Eklue one of the strongest support options for any crit-reliant roster in Aniimo.
