Character Creation

Change Appearence

As the only game in miHoYo's entire range of games where you can customize your character, what do you think of the face customization system in "Nexus Anima? “As you can see from the picture, Body, Hairstyle, Eyebrows, Eyes, Nose, and Ears are all customizable parts, among which you can also choose your favorite color for hairstyle and eyes!

Change Appearence

However, if there are travelers who has difficulties in choosing, like me, you can also try the official Face Preset options. It is worth mentioning that although there are fewer choices in the first test, and the characters are only female, you can still be very creative! As a result, how to update the Character Customization system in the future has also left everyone with a sense of surprise, and sure enough, the open world is all about playing something different!

Face Preset

After the customization of character’s face and body, the second customization part is to change the attributes, the initial points are 10, which can be assigned to those three aspects of Strength, Charisma, and Intelligence, if you are too entangled, there are also Attribute Template: Musclehead, Social Butterfly, Prodigy, and Well-Riunded can be choosed, at present, the attribute values will affect the options to talk to various NPCs in the game, but you should not be too cautious, each value can be readjusted in the game~

Gameplay of Auto Chess

Number of Anima

The maximum number of Anima that can be used is displayed in the center above the panel, so don't forget to put all the battle Anima on it!

 

Position deployment

Similar to most auto chess gameplay, players need to master the suitable positions of different Anima Ranged Attack, Frontline Tank, Backline Carryetc.) to complete the arrangement.

 

Kardia

In the lower left corner of the panel, players can deploy the "Kardia " they want, and different Kardia characters will provide different powerful Kardia buffs during battle.

 

Synergy effects

The six types of Synergy effets on the left panel can be regarded as buffs related to the number of similar elves playing. For eaxample,when the number of elves of the same type reaches 2/4/6/8, the "Summon Bountiful Seed" can be triggered, which is used as a healing buff to release Riceflowers to your full Anima for healing, recovering 12% of lost health, increasing unit attack power and magic strength, stacking up to five layers. Different meta-types trigger different effects.
