Aniimo's best starter for a new action-RPG player is Lunara, in Hizzle's editorial judgment, because ranged attacks offer a more comfortable way to learn positioning. Choose Helion if you prefer getting close and gathering enemies for an aggressive attack sequence.
| Your preference | Starting pick | The habit to learn |
|---|---|---|
| Keep some space while reading an enemy | Lunara | Maintain distance while still landing attacks. |
| Stay close and punish a group | Helion | Know when a committed attack leaves time to escape. |
| Pick the companion you actually like | Either | Build the other slots around the jobs it does not cover. |
Both fill an attacking role. Your starter decision does not remove the need for team support. A ranged attacker can still get surrounded, and a close-range attacker still needs a way to recover.
Can I get the other starter later?
UNSURE: the sources checked do not establish a current, permanent way to obtain the unchosen starter. Do not treat beta speculation or a future story hint as a guaranteed recovery route. Make the opening choice as though you will keep it.
Published starter references also disagree about attribute totals, and one kit comparison explicitly draws on beta testing. We therefore do not publish an exact total, universal damage ranking or current-frame combo here. Aniimo best early team: build around your starter gives a practical team structure instead.
Either choice satisfies the listed First Companion requirement. Return to Aniimo beginner guide: how to start after choosing.
