Every major city in LumenTale: Memories of Trey throws a giant Animon boss and a Lumen Match squadron captain at you — and because type effectiveness is per-species, walking in blind gets expensive. Here’s every boss in story order with weaknesses, resistances, and counters. Remember the universal tech: scan bosses early (1–2 scans reveal weaknesses), and field Animon that resist the boss’s attack types to starve its TP and deny bonus actions.

🌲 Prologue — Scarlet Woods & Iris Hamlet

Toxigall (Lv 8)

Mini-boss leading the Smellwing pack in Scarlet Woods. A warm-up — bring anything that doesn’t fold to Virus/Demon damage.

Iotamor (Lv 11) — Demon (Hidden: Anomalous, Ice)

• Weak to: Electric, Aura, Geo
• Counters: Ozelash and Mollupom shred it — one big reason Ozelash tops our starter rankings.

Pymant (Lv 14) — the First Real Wall

• Weak to: Water, Electric, Demon, Geo
• Attacks with: Slicing Wind (Aura) and Blaze (Fire) — and it acts twice per turn once its TP hits 2, so bring Aura/Fire-resistant Animon to starve it.
• Counters: Ozelash or Queccha, plus Mollupom, Deniuli, Owaxle. Avoid Flowende and Almyuna.

Dena — First Squadron Leader (Area 1 Lumen Camp)

Her star is a Mollupom — Electric moves win again.

⚙️ Logos Route (North)

Knequital (Lv 20, 3 health bars) — Aura / Sereum — Arsilia Courthouse

• Weak to: Geo (per walkthrough testing)
• Its Draw quirk makes it stronger as the fight drags, and below half HP it charges a big attack — burst it down rather than turtling.

Bucky — Arsilia Stadium Captain

Fought after three back-to-back Lumen matches; your team is fully healed before him. Bring your widest move coverage.

Blumester, Logos form (Lv 26, 4 health bars) — Voltar City Generator

• Weak to: Virus  |  Resists: Fire, Geo
• ⚠️ Below half HP it gains Diamond Spike — an instant-KO move. Keep no one at low HP and finish fast.
• Reward: Electric Holoken affinity.

Anne — Voltar Captain

Recommended Lv 27+.

Nuclheart (Lv 29) — Virus — Paradine Landing (Edenheart)

• Weak to: Ice
• Flanked by three self-resurrecting goo Animon — ignore the adds and focus the boss.
• Reward: Virus Holoken infusion.

Elio — Paradine Captain

Recommended Lv 32+; his team punishes Virus-type Animon, so bench them for this one.

Arct-Rex (Lv 32) — Ice — Glacial Peak Depths (Speranova)

• Weak to: Geo, Chakra  |  Resists: Virus, Water
• Recommended Lv 36+.

Kentaress (Lv 36) — Data / Sereum — Cathedral Finale (Logos)

• Weak to: Electric  |  Resists: Virus, Geo
• The Luminary’s true form and the climax of the northern route (you’ll fight the human antagonist Kines along the way).

🌋 Mythos Route (South)

Rezza & Mango — Mirasilva (Baza’s Palace)

Trial fights before the chamber; Mango rematches later as the stadium finals captain with a stronger team.

Dualine (Lv 20+, 2 phases) — Grass / Felicis — Baza’s Chamber

• Weak to: Ice, Chakra, Fire  |  Resists: Virus
• Kit: Aromasynthesis (self-heal every turn), Shards Rain (AoE), Mud Trap (team Agility down), and Nature’s Wrath — a colossal Grass AoE. Bring Geo/Grass-resistant Animon.
• Counters: Deniuli or Fulgaze (Fire), Sapsy, Mollupom/Kerocrack/Owaxle with Ice or Fire moves; Cadedro’s Congestion debuff (Attack + Agility down) blunts both phases.

Blumester, Mythos form — Costa Linda Docks

• Weak to: Grass, Electric, Demon  |  Resists: Water, Fire, Virus
• Reward: Water Holoken infusion; the Costa Linda captain fight after it awards the Meridemblem (needed to evolve Maidelly into Megamitosa).

Morsiver (fought twice) — Fire / Horrens — Altipetra

• Weak to: Aura, Chakra, Water  |  Resists: Anomalous, Geo  |  Immune to: Demon
• First fight at the Ascension Ritual Stadium (4 health bars), then a much stronger rematch in the Volcanic Depths.

Elodie — Altipetra Captain

Healing-heavy team with a devastating Pinouflage — you must burst her Animon down within a turn cycle or she heals it all back.

Katamos — Lost Animon — Aeolyc Islands Temple (Memorenia)

• Weak to: Virus  |  Resists: Ancient  |  Immune to: Aura

Primalong — Ancient/Grass/Geo — Temple (Prince Mars’s true form)

• Weak to: Ice, Data
• The problem: it spams Turbo Vortex, stacking +2 Agility until it’s nearly unhittable, plus Excisio (multi-target) and Plus Ultra (stat boost).
• Counters: Agility-reset debuffs (Mud Trap), Ancient-damage reflectors (Bibrickle, Armansient), Wicedom’s Arctic Mirror, multi-hit moves like Stacking Strike to clip the last sliver of HP. Carrigante survives everything here but lacks Ice/Data offense — pair it with a dedicated damage dealer.

Damame — Memorenia Captain

The strongest undefeated captain in Mythos — fights alone. Full coverage and a healer recommended.

🏁 Finale — Magnolia

Blanco (first fight) — Unwinnable

Scripted loss outside AARI HQ — don’t burn items. Inside the HQ, free the vice-captains: each rescue lowers Blanco’s Animon defense in the final fight.

Blanco (final, 2 phases) + Eterjian

• Phase 1: his six Animon. Phase 2: he summons Eterjian — weak to Electric and Geo, resists Fire and Ice, and spreads its attack damage across multiple Animon; Aura-resistant team members trivialize it.

Majetsune — FINAL BOSS (Lv 65, 8 health bars)

• Weak to: Ancient, Aura  |  Resists: Data
• Its main attack, Glitch_Wave, is Data-type — stack Data-resistant Animon and bring your team to Lv 70+.

♻️ After the Credits

Finish both routes and the giant bosses become catchable in rematches — they deposit straight into your Anispace storage after a second win. Locations and typings in our Rare Animon Spawns guide, and team prep in Best Team Comp.

Boss data compiled from community walkthroughs and guides; captain rosters aren’t fully documented yet and some weaknesses come from single-source playtesting — we’ll refine numbers as the community datamines them.

Team building in LumenTale: Memories of Trey doesn’t work like other monster catchers — there’s no universal type chart, four of your six Animon fight at once, and every attack spends from a shared resource pool. Here’s how to actually build a winning squad, plus concrete picks for every stage of the game.

🧠 The Five Rules of LumenTale Team Building

1. Coverage beats memorization

Type effectiveness in LumenTale is defined per species, not per type — two Animon with identical typings can have different weaknesses. That means “coverage” doesn’t mean memorizing a chart; it means carrying moves of many different types and scanning enemies (1–2 scans reveal weaknesses) to find what sticks. The community tier lists reward exactly this: the S-tier Animon all carry skills spanning 3–5 types and/or multi-target moves.

2. Run 6, fight 4, everyone levels

Your team holds six Animon with four active in battle — and all six earn EXP. Use the two backline slots for situational picks without worrying about them falling behind. (Leveling tips: EXP & Leveling Guide.)

3. Mix your Attributes

The five Attributes (see Attributes Explained) are activated manually by spending extra SP on top of a move’s cost — and there’s no advantage triangle, so the win comes from mixing effects:

Attribute	Emotion	Activated Effect	Team Role
💚 Felicis	Joy	Heals allies slightly after attacking	Sustain
💙 Mestus	Sadness	Spends % of own HP for bonus damage	Burst
❤️ Furor	Anger	Flat skill-damage increase	DPS
💜 Horrens	Fear	Neutralizes resistances / forces super-effective	Wallbreaker
🩶 Sereum	Calm	Greatly raises crit chance; crits build TP	Economy

A team stacking one attribute has one tool; a team mixing four has four. Horrens deserves special mention — when nothing on your team hits a boss’s weakness, a Horrens activation punches through anyway.

4. Respect the SP/TP economy

Skills and attribute activations draw on your team’s SP, while TP builds toward bonus actions — landing crits and weakness hits fills TP for your whole team. It cuts both ways: bosses build TP too (Pymant acts twice per turn once its TP fills), so fielding Animon that resist a boss’s attack types starves the boss of TP. Sereum attackers and weakness-hitting move coverage are your TP engine.

5. Spend your Stat Points

Stat growth is manual — 3 points per level, assigned by you, freely respeccable. A “weak” Animon is often just an unallocated one. Respec toward the role you’re using it for.

🌱 Best Early-Game Team (Prologue → Arsilia)

Animon	Typing	Why
Ozelash (starter)	Electric / Furor	The best starter — Electric hits both early bosses (Iotamor, Pymant) and squadron leader Dena’s Mollupom, and Electric Animon are scarce until past Arsilia City.
Mollupom	Geo (Hidden: Water)	Learns Seismic Step (hits 3 enemies) and exploits the early bosses’ Geo weakness. Later evolves into S-tier Obsidedge.
Owaxle	Anomalous/Fire/Virus	Mental Strike hits 3 targets; excellent coverage and solid defenses.
Toxigall	Virus/Demon	Demon coverage for the flex slot.

Also worth catching early: Pinchop, Boobat, Lampecko, and Almyuna. Picking a different starter? See Best Starter Animon — just know Salabel struggles early because many early-game Animon resist Demon.

🏙️ Best Mid-Game Additions

• Doryogun (Fire/Geo) — the best speed-to-damage ratio in the mid game; a boss-killer, though weak at clearing crowds.
• Birchette (Aura) — strong if evolved before Voltar City.
• Rainagon (Water/Geo, with Ancient coverage) — fast and hard-hitting.

👑 Best Endgame Team (Community S-Tier)

Animon	Typing	Why It’s S-Tier
Obsidedge	Water/Demon	Skills covering Water, Demon, Ice, Chakra and Ancient, with multi-target damage.
Klawller	Water/Virus	Obtainable early; its Hyperstrength quirk doubles Attack and Sp. Atk.
Konbian	Fire/Demon	Adds Anomalous/Aura coverage plus crowd control.
Trepagator	Virus/Data	Only weak to Fire and Chakra; covers Virus/Data/Electric/Geo.
Carrigante	Anomalous/Geo	Nearly immune to everything except Fire; deals Anomalous/Geo/Demon damage.
Florenco	Grass (support)	The premier healer — Aromasynthesis sustain keeps the squad standing.

Strong A-tier alternatives: Doryogun, Nefandle, Blizzbull, Luxecko (its Supercharge quirk generates bonus SP — pure economy), Rainagon, and support specialist Therapix.

🎯 Situational Boss Picks

• Cadedro — its Congestion debuff lowers a boss’s Attack and Agility (clutch vs Dualine).
• Bibrickle / Armansient — reflect Ancient damage (great vs Primalong).
• Wicedom — Arctic Mirror for punishing physical spam.
• Harpilia — wins stat-boost races against buff-stacking bosses.

For every boss’s weaknesses and the exact counters, see our Boss Weakness Guide.

📝 Team-Building Checklist

1. Four active slots: 2 damage dealers with different move-type spreads, 1 wallbreaker (Horrens or Sereum), 1 support/healer.
2. Two bench slots: rotate in whatever hits the next boss’s weakness.
3. At least three different Attributes across the active four.
4. Prioritize multi-target moves (Seismic Step, Mental Strike) for wild packs and captain fights.
5. Scan every new enemy — per-species weaknesses mean the scan IS your type chart.

Leveling in LumenTale: Memories of Trey is unusual: the fastest EXP source in the game isn’t battling — it’s throwing away your trash. This guide covers every EXP method, how stat growth actually works (it’s manual!), and every way to permanently boost your Animon’s stats.

⚡ Every Way to Earn EXP

1. Trash Can Recycling — the Fastest EXP in the Game

City trash cans award EXP to your entire team when you discard items into them, and sorting correctly is the whole trick: putting a material in the matching bin awards significantly more EXP, while a misplaced item gives a mere 10 EXP.

Bin Color	Accepts
🟢 Green	Glass
🔵 Blue	Plastic
🔴 Red	Organic
🟡 Yellow	Metals

Two caveats: trash cans have a region-based EXP cap (so you can’t get overpowered in the starting zone), and you should keep crafting and move-enhancement materials — don’t recycle the Quartz and Anivite EX you’ll need for items like Prismatype. Dump the junk, keep the mats.

2. Cooking: Riso del Bosco (1,000 EXP per Plate)

The recipe Riso del Bosco grants 1,000 EXP per use when fed to an Animon. Buy the recipe at city restaurants, stock ingredients, and you have a repeatable EXP source that works anywhere you can cook.

3. Battling in High-Level Zones

Fighting above your weight yields huge EXP. Save first, then soften wild enemies before combat even starts by aiming preemptive hits in Animon Mode. Bonus: your whole squad benefits — all six team members earn EXP from battles even though only four fight at a time, so nobody rots on the bench.

4. Experience Bilia

Catch with an Experience Bilia and the Animon you catch receives a one-time EXP boost — a nice head start for new recruits that joins them straight to your level range. (More catching tech in How to Catch Animon.)

📈 How Stat Growth Actually Works (It’s Manual)

This trips up almost every new player: stats do not increase automatically when you level up. Instead:

• Each level-up awards 3 Stat Points.
• You assign them yourself among the six main stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Agility. Every 3 points invested raises the stat by 1 (occasionally 2).
• An Animon whose points were never allocated will feel weak even at a high level — if your team suddenly feels underpowered, check the Squad menu first.
• Respec is free and unlimited — reassign points anytime from the Squad menu or in Anispace, so experiment without fear.

Note that Luck sits outside the Stat Point system — see below. For what each of the 7 stats does, see the Beginner’s Guide.

💎 IVs: The Hidden Growth Values

Each Animon also has innate values (IVs) shown as Roman numerals from N (none) to X (10) on the stat screen. Higher IVs mean better returns in that stat. IVs can be raised after catching via:

• Mystical Relic inheritance — the rebirth mechanic (below)
• Food — cooked meals and restaurant dishes
• Anispace training equipment — sport furniture (dumbbells, weights, boxing dummy) your Animon interact with at your base

🍝 Stat-Boosting Food

• Cooking at rest spots (the fountains in each area) with the right recipes permanently raises an Animon’s innate stats. Trey is the best cook of the three characters — cook with him for the best success rate.
• Restaurant meals raise the associated stat (or Luck) by roughly 1–2 per meal. Example: Salame Imperiale costs 1,000 and raises Luck by 2.

🍀 Luck: The Odd Stat Out

Luck (1–10) affects critical hits and lucky events, and it doesn’t take Stat Points. It can be raised, though — Luck-boosting restaurant meals like Salame Imperiale do it directly. One important wrinkle for min-maxers: Luck is not inherited through Mystical Relic rebirth, so fix Luck last, after your stat work is done.

🔮 Mystical Relic: Endgame Stat Fusion

The Mystical Relic rebirth lets you sacrifice up to 3 Animon into one. The reborn Animon:

• Resets to its base evolution at level 1
• Keeps the highest value of each base stat among itself and all sacrifices
• Preserves its Hidden Type, affection, and learned moves (ability is rerolled; Luck is not carried)
• Has a 1/100 chance of emerging as a Lost variant if the sacrifices are the same species

⚠️ The game autosaves during this — sacrifices are permanent and irreversible. Combined with the trash-can and Riso del Bosco methods above, re-leveling a reborn Animon is fast.

🛠️ Related Crafted Items

Item	Effect	Recipe	Best Crafter
Prismatype	Activates an Animon’s Hidden Type	2× Anivite EX, 10× Plastic, 30× Quartz	Nada
Appendix Q	Rerolls an Animon’s Quirk (ability)	2× Anivite EX, 10× Glass, 1× Diamond	Ales

Pushing craft success over 100% can trigger a “Great Success” and a free duplicate. Full Hidden Type details in our Hidden Types guide.

✅ Quick Leveling Routine

1. Explore and hoover up every barrel, box, and pickup in a zone.
2. Battle high-level wilds on the way (whole team gets EXP).
3. Back in town: sort your junk into the correct trash bins for big team-wide EXP.
4. Feed Riso del Bosco to whoever’s lagging.
5. Spend the Stat Points immediately — unspent points are wasted power.

Every Animon in LumenTale: Memories of Trey has a visible main type — but many are also carrying a second, concealed typing called a Hidden Type. Hidden Types change your matchups, expand your movepool, and in some cases are the only way to make an Animon evolve. Here’s exactly how the system works and how to use it.

🔍 What Are Hidden Types?

A Hidden Type is a potential secondary typing that most Animon species can carry, concealed until you reveal it through gameplay. Two things make LumenTale’s version unusual:

• It’s per-individual, not per-species. The Hidden Type belongs to the individual creature. A species has a fixed pool of possible hidden typings, but any given wild Animon may or may not actually have one — most wild Flowende are pure Grass, while some carry the Grass–Chakra dual typing.
• Not every species has one. Some Animon have no Hidden Type at all, while others can carry one of two possibilities — Bonkey, for example, can hide either Fire or Chakra.

If you’re new to the type system itself, start with our Complete Type Chart & Weakness Guide — and keep in mind LumenTale’s big twist: there is no universal type chart. Effectiveness is defined per species, which is exactly why revealing an individual’s Hidden Type matters so much.

👁️ How to Reveal a Hidden Type

There are three ways to surface a Hidden Type:

1. Scan the enemy three times in battle. Each scan costs a turn. Scans one and two reveal weaknesses; the third scan reveals stats, the Hidden Type, and the evolution chart. This also completes the AniWiki entry, so it’s worth doing even for Animon you don’t plan to catch.
2. Level the Animon up. Hidden Types can surface through leveling, typically announced by the Animon unlocking type-based moves that match its hidden typing.
3. Inspect before you catch. You can check a wild Animon’s details in battle before throwing a Bilia to see whether that specific individual carries the Hidden Type — do this if you’re hunting a dual-typed copy.

⚗️ The Prismatype Item: Forcing a Hidden Type

Caught a great Animon that turned out to be monotype? The craftable Prismatype item grants/activates the Hidden Type on an Animon that was caught without one.

Prismatype Recipe	Where to Get the Materials
2× Anivite EX	From larger Anivite Crystals (rarer); also purchasable in Altipetra on the Mythos route
10× Plastic	From barrels, boxes, and Lumen Clubs
30× Quartz	Break Anivite Crystals using a Geo-type Animon

Craft it at any rest spot — no recipe unlock is needed to start, and crafting it repeatedly unlocks the formal recipe. Crafting with Nada improves your success rate, and a “Great Success” doubles the output. One tip from veteran players: scan first, spend later. Confirm the Animon actually benefits from Hidden Type activation (or needs it to evolve) before burning the materials.

🧬 Hidden Types That Gate Evolution

Some Animon cannot evolve until their Hidden Type is revealed. Two confirmed cases:

Animon	Typing	Evolves Into	Requirement
Mollupom	Geo (Hidden: Water)	Obsidedge	Level 26 + Hidden Type (Water) revealed
Twinkler	Data (Hidden: Virus)	Silverus	Level 36 + Hidden Type (Virus) revealed

If your Mollupom or Twinkler is stuck at its evolution level, it almost certainly needs its Hidden Type activated — scan it, level it, or craft a Prismatype. For the full evolution system, see How to Evolve Your Animon.

📋 Known Hidden Typings (Confirmed So Far)

Animon	Main Type	Hidden Type Pool
Flowende	Grass	Chakra
Smellwing	Virus	Demon (only possibility)
Bonkey	Anomalous	Fire or Chakra (one of two)
Mollupom	Geo	Water (required for evolution)
Twinkler	Data	Virus (required for evolution)

This list grows as the community documents more species — an estimated 23 Animon have Anomalous as either their main or hidden type alone, including Megamitosa, Owaxle, Dionybble, Skeletape, Venomera, and Iotamor.

⚔️ Why Hidden Types Matter in Battle

• Movepool: An Animon’s learnset usually draws from both its visible and hidden type, so a dual-typed individual has broader coverage.
• Matchups: The Hidden Type alters overall effectiveness — two individuals of the same species can take hits very differently. After a full scan, the battle UI shows a broken-shield icon for attacks the enemy is weak to, and a shield icon for what it resists.
• Permanence: Once unlocked, a Hidden Type is preserved through Mystical Relic rebirth, so it carries into min-maxed endgame builds.

❓ Hidden Types FAQ

Do all Animon have a Hidden Type?
No. Some species have none, most have one possibility, and a few (like Bonkey) have a pool of two.

Is Anomalous the same thing as a Hidden Type?
No — Anomalous is a normal element (paranormal/psychic phenomena), one of the game’s 13 types. It just happens to appear frequently as a hidden typing.

Can Lost (rare variant) Animon have different Hidden Types?
Nothing suggests Lost variants change typing — a rebirth-produced Lost variant keeps the Hidden Type it already had. See our Rare Animon Spawns guide for how Lost variants work.

What’s the fastest way to check for one?
Scan three times in battle. It costs turns, but it permanently completes the AniWiki entry with stats, Hidden Type, and the evolution chart.

At the start of LumenTale: Memories of Trey you pick one of five starter Animon in the Anispace — and each one represents a different Attribute. There’s no wrong answer for a casual playthrough, but if you want the smoothest early game against the first bosses, one starter stands out.

Short answer: Ozelash is the strongest overall pick. Here’s why, plus how all five compare.

The five starters at a glance

Starter	Type	Quick verdict
Ozelash	Electric	Best overall — rare early typing + damage-boosting Attribute.
Mewaii	Virus	Strong — hits several early bosses effectively.
Queccha	Geo	Good, but has a strong catchable alternative early.
Vortail	Aura / Water	Decent coverage, weak in key early fights.
Salabel	Demon	Least recommended for the early game.

Why Ozelash is the best starter

Ozelash is Electric-type — an element that’s uncommon early on, so you won’t easily replace it by catching something else in the first few hours. More importantly, Electric attacks are effective against the first two bosses, Iotamor and Pymant, as well as the first Lumen Squadron leader Dena’s Mollupom. It also carries the Furor Attribute, which directly boosts skill damage (see our Attributes guide) — meaning it hits hard and hits the right targets right when the game asks you to.

The other four starters

Mewaii (Virus) — a very strong runner-up

Mewaii is Virus-type and effective against the first two bosses, Iotamor and Pymant, plus several of Dena’s Animon. If you prefer its Felicis (healing) support flavor, it’s a comfortable, safe choice for the early game.

Queccha (Geo) — good, with a caveat

Queccha is a solid Geo starter, but the early game hands you a strong alternative: Mollupom, an excellent Geo Animon you can catch during the prologue. That overlap makes Queccha less essential than it looks.

Vortail (Aura / Water) — decent coverage

Vortail gives you flexible Aura and Water coverage, which is nice for general exploration. Its weakness is timing: it struggles in some key early battles, being weak against Pymant and against Knequital if you head north.

Salabel (Demon) — the hardest sell

Salabel is the least recommended starter, largely because its Demon typing doesn’t line up well with the early challenges the game throws at you. Pick it if you love the design more than the min-max — it’s still perfectly playable.

Does your starter choice lock you in?

Not really. LumenTale is built around catching a full team, so your starter is only your first partner, not your only one. Browse everything you can add in the Animon Dex, and learn the capture basics in our How to Catch Animon guide. Even the “worst” starter is fine once your roster fills out.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the five starters in LumenTale?

Mewaii, Vortail, Ozelash, Salabel and Queccha. You choose one in the Anispace at the start of the game.

What is the best starter in LumenTale: Memories of Trey?

Ozelash is the most-recommended pick — its Electric typing is rare early, effective against the first bosses, and paired with the damage-boosting Furor Attribute. Mewaii is the strongest runner-up.

Can you get the other starters later?

Your starter is your first partner, but you build a full team by catching Animon throughout Talea, so you’re never limited to one creature.

Starter recommendations reflect community consensus (including Game8 and LumenTale community guides) for the early game. Your ideal pick can vary with playstyle and difficulty.

Catching is the heart of LumenTale: Memories of Trey — you build your team by capturing wild Animon out in Talea with your Holoken. There are two very different ways to do it, and picking the right one (and the right Bilia) makes the difference between a clean catch and a wasted encounter.

The two ways to catch an Animon

1. Bilia Mode — catch it in the field

With the Holoken you can aim and throw a Bilia straight at a wild Animon in the overworld, no battle required. Land the throw and a quick QTE (quick-time event) begins — succeed at it and the Animon is yours. The better you get at the QTE, the higher your catch rate climbs, so this method rewards practice. Take your time aiming before you toss.

2. Animon Mode — weaken it in battle first

Hitting a wild Animon in Animon Mode starts a battle where you have the advantage — especially if you lead with an Animon whose type is strong against it. In battle, the core rule is simple: the lower the target’s HP, the higher your catch chance. Whittle it down (without knocking it out) and then attempt the capture.

Use the right Bilia

Bilias come in different kinds, and choosing the one that best fits the Animon you’re after maximizes your odds. Matching your Bilia to the target is one of the easiest ways to stop losing catches you should have made.

Read the Animon’s behavior

Not every Animon reacts the same way when it spots you. Some stay calm and are easy to approach for a clean Bilia throw; others are aggressive and will chase you on sight, which can force a battle. Knowing a species’ temperament helps you decide whether to go for a field catch or set up an Animon Mode ambush.

Quick tips for a higher catch rate

• Weaken, don’t defeat. In battle, low HP boosts catch rate — but a knocked-out Animon can’t be caught.
• Bring a type advantage into Animon Mode so you control the fight and can safely chip HP down.
• Match your Bilia to the target for the best odds.
• Practice the QTE — field catches get more reliable the better your timing.
• Aim first. The Holoken lets you line up the throw before you commit.

Once you’ve caught something new, check its stats, type and Attribute on its page in the Animon Dex, and see how it grows in our evolution guide. New to the game? Start with the Beginner’s Guide.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the fastest way to catch Animon?

For calm, low-level Animon, a well-aimed Bilia throw in the field (Bilia Mode) is quickest. For tougher or aggressive ones, Animon Mode — weakening them in a battle you control — gives the most reliable catch.

Does lowering HP increase catch rate?

Yes. In battle, reducing an Animon’s HP substantially increases your catch chance. Just be careful not to defeat it.

Does the type of Bilia matter?

It does. Different Bilias suit different Animon, and choosing the most fitting one maximizes your chance of a successful catch.

Catching mechanics summarized from the game and community resources including the official Beehive Studios site and Game8. We’ll revise if a patch changes how catching works.

Every Animon in LumenTale: Memories of Trey has one of five Attributes — Felicis, Mestus, Furor, Horrens and Sereum. Types decide what your Animon is strong and weak against; Attributes are a separate layer that gives each Animon a powerful, manually-activated battle bonus. Learn to read and time them and your fights get a lot easier.

In the story, an Attribute represents the emotion an Animon stirs in the people who see it. In battle, it is a tactical trigger you fire on your own terms.

How Attributes work in battle

An Attribute bonus is not automatic. You choose when to activate it when you attack — look for the Attribute icon next to your skill list during battle, or check an Animon’s info screen out of battle to see which one it has. Because you decide the moment, the skill is in knowing when a trigger is worth it.

All 5 Animon Attributes and their effects

Attribute	Battle effect
Felicis	After attacking, slightly heals the Animon’s allies.
Mestus	Spends a percentage of the Animon’s own HP to deal extra damage.
Furor	Boosts the damage of the skill used.
Horrens	Ignores the enemy’s resistance — making the next attack super effective if it would otherwise finish them.
Sereum	Raises critical-hit chance; every critical hit also grants one extra TP.

When to use each Attribute

Felicis — sustain

Free healing spread to your team every time you attack. Fantastic in long or 4v4 fights where chip healing keeps your party alive without spending a turn on recovery.

Mestus — high-risk burst

You pay HP to hit harder. Best when you can end a threat this turn — don’t trigger it if the extra damage won’t matter, because that HP is gone either way.

Furor — reliable damage

A clean skill-damage boost with no downside. The safe pick for pure aggression and the easiest Attribute to use well.

Horrens — resistance breaker

Its niche is huge: it can turn a resisted hit into a super-effective, potentially lethal blow by ignoring resistance. Save it for the moment it flips a kill.

Sereum — crits and tempo

More crits mean more damage and extra TP to power your next move. Strong on fast, offensive Animon that attack often.

How this fits with Types

Attributes and Types are independent systems. You still want a favorable type matchup (see our Type Chart & Weakness Guide), but a well-timed Attribute can win a fight you’d otherwise lose — Horrens punching through a resistance, or Felicis out-sustaining an opponent. Check any Animon’s Attribute on its page in the Animon Dex.

Frequently asked questions

How many Attributes are there in LumenTale?

Five: Felicis, Mestus, Furor, Horrens and Sereum. Each Animon has exactly one.

Do Attribute bonuses trigger automatically?

No. You activate them manually when you attack, using the Attribute icon by your skill list. That control is the whole point — timing matters.

Is one Attribute the best?

There isn’t a single best one; they suit different roles. Furor is the most consistently useful for raw damage, Felicis is the best for sustain, and Horrens is the biggest game-changer in the right moment.

Attribute details are based on the game’s mechanics as documented by community resources including Game8. If a game update changes any effect, we’ll update this guide.
