Anima

Anima is the second of three optional Aeons that you can obtain. You have to do a fair amount of work to get her. You must go through each of the Cloister of Trials and complete the Destruction Sphere portion of each (to obtain the secret treasure chests).

Anima is the physical manifestation of a dream from a fayth, and in her case, it is Seymour’s mother. This manifestation and background are revealed during a flashback sequence within the game’s story.

Refer to the Anima side quest page for more information on how to obtain her:

Overdrive: Oblivion

Anima is one of the strongest Aeons you can obtain. Magus Sisters are arguably stronger, but they can be fairly unpredictable to use.

Anima during Oblivion overdrive sequence

She can use a regular attack and an attack called “Pain,” which can instantly kill enemies. Her Overdrive, Oblivion, can do a ton of damage as it hits enemies multiple times.

Anima is capable of breaking the 9,999 damage limit as soon as you obtain her.
