The choice between Helion or Lunara when starting your journey in Aniimo is a personal one, and ultimately comes down to which you prefer, but of the pair, Lunara is likely your best option.

While both have many similarities, a big difference between the pair is that Lunara is a ranged attacker and can sustain its own HP, whereas Helion is a stronger close-ranged DPS, with significant damage output.

Lunara is the better choice at the start of the game though, as it can fit into a wide array of team compositions, so you’ll have the freedom to shape and evolve your team as you see fit while you progress in the game.

Beware, though, as, as it stands, the choice is final, and there’s currently no way to obtain the starter that you didn’t select, though this could change as the game evolves.

Helion and Lunara have a variety of similarities, which is unsurprising given a relatively equal field is required for starter options, though there are some significant differences.

Both Aniimo share the same element, stat total, role, and Exploration type, with the main differences being that Helion is a close-range attacker with self-buffs, while Lunara thrives on long-range attacks and debuffing enemies.
