1How each of the 3 pillars works

• 1. Unlock Evolution (unlock condition 🔒): the condition that unlocks evolution for that Aniimo. Each Aniimo has its own condition to meet, such as clearing a Sanctum, defeating an Alpha/Boss or completing a journey quest.
• 2. Evolution requirement (training level ⬆): the level requirement each individual Aniimo must meet. The evolution level differs by Aniimo (Lv.12–52).
• 3. Evolution Material (consumable element stones 💎 vs permanently kept keys 🔑): evolving normally consumes element stones, and some evolutions also consume special materials such as Unbroken Flameruff Spirit or Stamen of Cubbo’s Rose. Some evolutions do not consume element stones. However, Soul items for special branch evolutions, such as 'Soul of Electric Shock' (a Companion Handbook level 10 reward), are not consumed on evolution; you keep them permanently as unlock items.
