When it runs

Sep 24 – Sep 27 to Dec 3 – Dec 6

Closes Sun 27 Sep, 19:59 UTC

Aniimo-America runs on UTC-4, fixed all year. Windows open and close at 04:00 server time.

What Holo-Battle Interlink is

The Battle Art Department builds the scenarios from the data of the strongest Aniimo on record, so the fights are pure damage and survival checks rather than catching.

Three routes each record their highest star rank independently. Their combined stars unlock milestones. Helping another Pathfinder improve their rank earns Support Rewards; both tracks reset weekly.

Season 3, Departure with the Wind: Part 1, runs from 24 September to 29 October. Week 1 (24 to 28 September) fields Alpha Irisal, Alpha Tubster and Alpha Bouldus. Week 2 (1 to 5 October) is scheduled with Alpha Scorchhowl, Alpha Minespine and Alpha Luminelle, and week 3 (8 to 12 October) with Alpha Blazen, Omega Sherro and Alpha Grizbo.

Each week names a Lucky Aniimo, and winning with it pays a 10,000 Credit bonus. Fulmintis is the Lucky Aniimo in weeks 1 and 3, and Irisalis in week 2.

Four new route modifiers arrive this season: Cold Snap, Volt Surge, Reversal Strike and BREAK Pursuit. Two existing ones changed. Water Pressure Imbalance now adds a Water hit worth 100% of ATK on any hit the Alpha takes, at most once every 5 seconds (it was 10% of ATK on critical hits). Unscathed now uses an 80% HP threshold and +60% attack speed (it was 90% and +80%).

A season leaderboard tracks the top 500 on a Personal Points board and one team board per route, Left, Middle and Right. It is scheduled to open for viewing from the 22 October week.

  • Credits10,000 bonus for a win with the week’s Lucky Aniimo
  • Season StampsInterlink support pays outside the weekly Stamp cap

The best line of play

  • Run it with a fixed group on Thursday night. Four days sounds generous until the Monday 03:59 UTC+8 cutoff arrives with the claim unsettled.
  • Build for the route modifier. Cold Snap rewards Ice hits, Volt Surge rewards stacking Lightning Debuff past 10, Reversal Strike rewards counters, and BREAK Pursuit rewards skill hits during BREAK.
  • Expect a harder Alpha at 9 stars and up: the Rampage grade buff now adds +30% ATK per layer on top of the existing Enhance stacks.
  • Helping another Pathfinder beat their current-period best pays Season Stamps that sit outside the weekly Stamp Rush cap, so support runs are not wasted effort.
  • Leave the mode before the reset. Rewards settle on exit, and an unsettled run at Monday 04:00 UTC+8 is the one way to lose the whole period.
