Element and Role

As a Water creature, Shelly’s attacks deal 1.6x damage into Fire and Earth and are resisted to 0.625x by Water, Grass, Ice and Light. Aniimo has no immunities, and same-element hits are always resisted — the full grid is on our type chart.

The DPS tag means its kit is built to deal the bulk of its team’s damage. In practice you Twine into it during damage windows and swap out when you need defense or healing.

Evolution Line

The official evolution tree places Shelly on a line with Shelly (stage 1) → Sheldon (stage 2). Each stage raises the stat ceiling and unlocks stronger skill variants, so base-form investment carries forward through the family.

How bonding and stage-ups actually play out in-game is covered in our evolution guide.

• Trait — Tidal Heart: While in water terrain or after absorbing water, increases Water damage by 20% for 10s.
