Anima is a special resource in the popular mobile game, Lords Mobile. You use it to train your Familiars, which are like pets that give you awesome bonuses and skills. Think of Anima as the food that helps your Familiars level up and become more powerful.

You'll quickly learn that getting your Familiars stronger is a huge part of growing your own power in the game. The short answer is: Anima is the resource you need to merge pacts and train your Familiars in the Monsterhold.

How to Get and Use Anima

Getting your hands on Anima is pretty straightforward once you know where to look. Here are the main ways you can gather it:

• Springs: These are special buildings in your turf that produce Anima over time. You just need to build them and upgrade them to increase how much Anima you get.
• Mystic Spire: This is another key building. Here, you merge Pacts to get new Familiars. The process of merging pacts itself requires Anima.
• Events and Quests: Keep an eye on the in-game events and daily quests. Many of them offer Anima as a reward for participating or completing certain tasks.
• Resource Packs: Sometimes, you can find Anima in special bundles in the game's store.
  

I remember when I first started playing, I totally ignored my Familiars. I was so focused on troops and buildings that I didn't even build all my Springs. A player from my guild pointed out how much I was missing out on. Once I started actively producing Anima and training my Familiars, I noticed a big difference, especially with the Aquiris Familiar which helps speed up my construction time. It was a game-changer for me.

Using Anima is just as important as getting it. You mainly use it in the Mystic Spire to merge Pacts. This is kind of like a lottery where you combine Pacts to get Runes or even fully-formed Familiars. The more powerful the Pact, the more Anima you'll need.

I’m currently saving up a ton of Anima to try and get the rarer Familiars. My goal is to get the Gemming Gremlin because the free gems it produces are so valuable. It’s a long process, and sometimes merging Pacts feels like a waste when you don’t get what you want, but the payoff is totally worth it when you finally unlock that powerful skill.

Familiars can seem complicated at first, but they are a vital part of making your account stronger. By focusing on a steady income of Anima, you can consistently level up your Familiars and unlock skills that will help you in battles, with research, and even with resource gathering.

If you’re looking to make some in-app purchases to speed up your progress, consider using Playstorm. You can play fun games on the app, earn gems, and redeem them for Google Play or Apple App Store gift cards. It's a great way to get a little extra help in Lords Mobile without breaking the bank.
