What Is Thornblade in Aniimo?

Thornblade is a Nova-stage Grass Aniimo filling the DPS role, numbered creature 034 in the Aniilog. It is a rapier-wielding duelist designed around countering incoming attacks and stacking Crit Rate to punish openings. It carries 6,251 total base stats, a base magic attack of 121, and grows from 1.47 m to 3.46 m in length and from 38.9 kg to 263.38 kg in weight. Thornblade comes in Male and Female variants, sleeps at night, and has four recorded forms: Basic, Thunderstorm, Prismana, and Umbrabow.

Thornblade Base Stats

Stat	Base
HP	5,422
ATK	282
P.DEF	129
REGEN	143
M.DEF	127
BREAK	148

ATK 282 and BREAK 148 give Thornblade both damage output and bar pressure. HP 5,422 is acceptable for a Nova-stage unit, and the balanced defenses are average. REGEN 143 supports its frequent countering playstyle.

Thornblade Skills

• Thorny Defense (Might 75, 20 EP, 6s cooldown): Enters a defensive stance with 20% damage reduction and counters when attacked; if attacked as the skill is used, Crit Rate increases by 30% for 15s.
• Aqua Defense (Might 75, 20 EP, 15s cooldown): A defensive stance with 20% damage reduction that counters; if attacked at cast time, applies Lockdown to the target for 12s.
• Thorny Impact (Might 57, 20 EP, 1s cooldown): Thrusts toward the target; on hit, increases Thornblade’s Crit Rate by 15% for 15s.
• Lightning Impact (Might 57, 20 EP, 1s cooldown): A variant unlocked with the Thunderstorm form that also boosts Crit Rate by 15% for 15s.
• Thorny Rain (Might 30, 10 EP, 1s cooldown): Core. Rapidly attacks with the thorn blade, usable up to 3 times in a row.
• ATK (Might 6, 0.1s cooldown): Basic close-range grass attack.
• Elegant Waltz (Might 172, 100 EP Ultimate, 8s cooldown): Repeatedly stabs a target with the thorn blade.

The recommended loop is to bait an attack with Thorny Defense for a 30% Crit Rate spike, then chain Thorny Rain into the burst, and finish with Elegant Waltz.

Thornblade Evolution Line

Thornblade is a Nova-stage endpoint with no further evolution recorded. It is a finished duelist build you can invest in confidently.

Where to Find Thornblade

Should You Use Thornblade?

Thornblade is a strong counter-based Grass DPS. Its 282 ATK and the stacking Crit Rate from its defensive and impact skills give it a high damage ceiling, and the Lockdown from Aqua Defense adds crowd control utility. It rewards reactive play and timing rather than aggressive front-line engagement. A solid pick for players who enjoy duelists and patient combat.

Thornblade Team Role and Build Notes

Thornblade fills the DPS slot as a NOVA-stage Grass Aniimo. Its 6,251 total base stats break down into 5,422 HP, 282 ATK, 129 P.DEF, 143 REGEN, 127 M.DEF, and 148 BREAK, with a base magic attack of 121. Play Thornblade as a pressure unit: open with Thorny Defense to set up the crit spike, then cycle Thorny Rain while staying just outside punishment range, finishing with Elegant Waltz when available.

Its combat tools all carry 100% Break effectiveness:

Skill	Might	EP	Cooldown	Break
Thorny Defense	75	20	6s	100%
Aqua Defense	75	20	15s	100%
Thorny Impact	57	20	1s	100%
Lightning Impact	57	20	1s	100%
Thorny Rain	30	10	1s	100%
Elegant Waltz	172	100	8s	100%

The basic attack (Might 6) serves as filler and for triggering on-hit effects between skill rotations. Thornblade is a NOVA-stage endpoint with no further evolution, so it is a finished build you can commit resources to without worry of obsolescence. With 4 recorded forms (Basic, Thunderstorm, Prismana, Umbrabow), collectors have multiple variants to chase.

Thornblade is found in the Breezy Plains with 5 recorded spawn points, so expect to farm that area for a good specimen.

If you are deciding whether to commit, weigh what Thornblade offers against your current roster: it is a DPS unit with a NOVA-tier stat line and a clear counter-based identity. That makes it easy to slot into a team that needs exactly what it does, and easy to leave behind when your roster outgrows it.
