Evolution line
Tier list →
RookeyNovaEvolution is multi-branch: a line can fork depending on the material you feed it, and branches can land on different elements.
Habitats
Open the map →Region guide: Russet Highlands, with each region’s level band and full roster.
The game’s own data files record 2 spawn points for Rookey: Russet Highlands, 2 spawn points. See its spawn zones on the map. They are areas, not exact spots.
Habitat is only one of three spawn conditions: weather and time of day also decide which Aniimo appear.
Umbral variant
Umbral Rookey is not a form: it is a rarity roll on the catch, like Sparkling. It rolls at 1 in 3,000, and the game describes it this way: “Affected by concentrated Vein energy, Innate Potential is always Perfect. After evolution or transformation, the Umbral appearance disappears.”
The Umbral appearance is its own dark recolour in game. The render above is the ordinary one: we have no published artwork of the Umbral coat to show.
