Evolution line
Tier list →
ThornbladeNovaEvolution 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: Sea of Flowers, with each region’s level band and full roster.
The game’s own data files record 2 spawn points for Thornblade: Sea of Flowers, 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.
Shining Thornblade
Egg database →
Shining Thornblade Egg is a Legendary egg item in the launch build: “Flourishing Vitality radiates outward, nurturing an exceptionally gifted life. It will surely Hatch an Aniimo with Perfect Acquired Potential.” The Custom Egg Box - DPS is the published route to it: “Choose one of the following Eggs as a reward: Shining Thornblade Egg, Shining Scorchhowl Egg, or Shining Sherro Egg.”
Shining is an egg, not a form and not the Sparkling roll: it guarantees the potential your Thornblade hatches with, not how it looks. Every egg in the launch build.
Umbral variant
Umbral Thornblade 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.
