Helion vs Lunara: Which Starter Fits You?
Helion or Lunara? A no-hype starter comparison built around learning the launch combat loop, your preferred role, and avoiding irreversible early investment.
Pick the starter whose feel you enjoy in the tutorial. Helion and Lunara are both valid early choices; the bad choice is locking scarce materials into any first unit before you know how your party needs Break, damage, and sustain.
Choose a Learning Tool, Not a Tier List Screenshot
A starter should help you learn movement, targeting, command timing, Twining, and the capture setup. A guide that declares one starter “mandatory” without naming the patch, encounter, and team context is not a useful launch guide.
Use the tutorial to answer a personal question: do you prefer the first starter’s rhythm and control? That answer is more durable than a launch-day rating.
This guide is written for the launch version. Do not use beta-era guides as proof: systems and account flows may have changed. Recheck the current in-game notice and official FAQ after every update.
Helion vs Lunara: Compare by Your Next Job
If one feels clearer in direct combat and helps you understand damage windows, it may be the better starting teacher for you. If the other’s movement, range, or ability rhythm feels easier to control, that is a valid reason to choose it instead.
Neither starting choice removes the need to recruit other roles. Your early roster should eventually cover damage, Break, and recovery rather than duplicating a single play pattern.
- ✦Choose the one you control comfortably during the tutorial.
- ✦Keep upgrade materials flexible for the first several encounters.
- ✦Build the rest of the party around missing roles, not starter loyalty.
The No-Regret First-Day Plan
Play both available tutorial moments, choose the one that makes you want to continue, and advance the main story until core functions open. Catch and test a few teammates before using high-tier materials.
If you later learn a different role fits you better, changing the team is normal. A launch starter is an opening companion, not a contract to ignore every other Aniimo.
Helion vs Lunara Is Not the First-Hour Checklist
The first-hour page tells you to finish the tutorial and learn catching. This page only answers which of the two named starters you should walk out with. It will not tell you which Aniipod to throw or when Homeland unlocks.

Not as a universal launch answer. Choose by control feel and use your roster to cover missing roles. Patch and encounter context matter more than a one-word verdict.
