Characters
Animasters are the playable human characters who bond with Anima. The Anima do the fighting on the board; the Animasters support them from behind it.
You bring three into a battle. The active leader grants an Exclusive Principle (an exclusive leader effect) plus an Offer Relic, and the other two each add an Offer Relic. Some are crossover characters from other Honkai games. Exact Exclusive Principle and Offer Relic numbers aren’t published yet.
