Aniimo Hypnyto Build — Skills, Role & How to Get

Q: What level does Hypnowl evolve into Hypnyto?

Lv.57, with 1 Gust Stone and the Bewitching Eye Soul item.

Quick answer: Hypnyto is a Wind-element control DPS added with Season 1 Part 2 on October 29, 2026. Get it free by reaching level 10 of the Standard Companion Handbook during Part 2, or evolve Hypnowl at Lv.57 with 1 Gust Stone and the Bewitching Eye Soul item. Build it as a control second-DPS: unlock every skill, then max Gale Bind and its control tools before raw damage.

What is Hypnyto?

Hypnyto is the second-stage evolution of Hypnowl and the new Wind-element Aniimo of Season 1 Part 2 ("Departure with the Wind"). Its job is control and disruption, not pure damage: area crowd control, sleep/hypnosis effects, and interrupts that cancel boss and elite charge attacks. Community write-ups describe it as a way to reduce a team's dependence on healing supports, because enemies spend more time controlled instead of attacking. Source level C — official notes confirm the Aniimo and the season; the role description is community analysis.

How to get Hypnyto — free route

Step	Detail
Pass	Standard Companion Handbook (Season 1 Part 2)
Requirement	Reach level 10 of the free track
Reward	Hypnyto Egg — hatch it to obtain Hypnyto
Deadline	Claim before the regional Part 2 pass closes — Europe: Dec 9, 2026 23:59 UTC

Regional deadlines differ, so read the timer on your own pass screen rather than converting the Europe date. Source level C.

Buddy XP for the pass comes from weekly missions, seasonal objectives and daily Institute Guide activities. If you are short of level 10 near the end of the season, those are the repeatable sources to clear.

Second route — evolve Hypnowl

Requirement	Detail
Level	Lv.57
Material	1× Gust Stone
Item	Own the Bewitching Eye Soul item
Hypnowl spawns	Crescent Bay, Wildwater Gorge, Cloudreach Falls

Source level C — community evolution tables agree on the level and the Gust Stone; the Soul item requirement is reported alongside them.

The free pass route is cheaper. Use the evolution route if you already have a Hypnowl with good Potentials and traits, since evolution keeps the individual you trained.

Paid route — Advanced Companion Handbook

The Advanced track (reported around $9.99, regional pricing varies) adds:

Level 10: Hypnyto Soul (also called the Bewitching Eye Soul)
Level 20: Perfect Potential Prismana Hypnyto Egg

Prismana Hypnyto (Wind/Light) is paid-track only. No free route to the Prismana form is documented. Source level C — check your regional store price before buying; do not treat the USD figure as universal.

Skills

Skill	Type	What it does
Featherblade Chase	Regular	Fires homing blade projectiles that track the target
Gale Bind	Regular	Roots the target for up to 12 seconds
Dazzling Prismaglare	Ultimate	Passive Refracted Feather Array traps enemies inside a laser cage, then deals heavy damage
Refracted Feather Array	Passive	The trap component tied to the ultimate

Hypnyto runs two regular skills plus one ultimate. Regular skills use individual cooldowns and energy; the ultimate needs ultimate points, so it will not be available at the start of every fight. Source level C.

Build priority

This is player strategy, not an official build table:

Level up first to unlock every active and passive skill. A control Aniimo with a missing skill is worse than a lower-level one with the full kit.
Max the control skills next — Gale Bind first. Longer root and shorter downtime are the reason to field Hypnyto at all.
Put leftover materials into damage — Featherblade Chase and the ultimate.
Do not chase crit or burst stats before control uptime. Hypnyto is not the team's primary damage dealer.

On material investment: exact skill-up material quantities are not published in any source checked. Do not copy a number from a video or a machine-translated guide; open the skill screen and read the current cost there. What the sources do agree on is the order above — control before damage.

Role in a team

Control / interrupt: cancels charge attacks and channeled moves that would otherwise force a heal or a dodge.
Second DPS: contributes damage, but is not the primary carry.
Peel: roots and sleep effects create space for the carry and the healer.
Not a healer and not a tank. Do not slot Hypnyto as the team's only sustain.

Pair it with a burst damage dealer who can punish a rooted target, and a healer who covers the gap while control is on cooldown. In boss fights, save Gale Bind for the telegraph you cannot otherwise survive or interrupt.

FAQ

Is Hypnyto free?

Yes, on the Standard Companion Handbook track — reach level 10 during Season 1 Part 2 and claim the Hypnyto Egg. The Prismana version is on the paid Advanced track.

What element is Hypnyto?

Wind. Its Prismana form is reported as Wind/Light.

What level does Hypnowl evolve into Hypnyto?

Lv.57, with 1 Gust Stone and the Bewitching Eye Soul item.

What is the best Hypnyto build?

Can I still get Hypnyto after Season 1 Part 2?

Unconfirmed. The evolution route does not depend on the pass, but whether the free egg returns in a later season is not announced.

Is Hypnyto good?

It is a control specialist, so its value depends on the fight. It is strongest against bosses and elites with interruptible charge attacks, and weaker as a standalone damage pick.
