Aniimo: Thornblade No. 034 Location and How to Get the Towerwood Form

Thornblade is Aniimo No. 034, a Grass-type DPS in the Nova stage. Its Towerwood Form is tied to one corner of the map, and you can either catch a wild one outright or raise a Budsquire and evolve it. Both paths end in the same woods, so the only real decision is whether you spend catch items or spend levels.

Quick answer: Catch the Towerwood Form in Rosetower Woods (Breezy Plains) along the eastern cliffside near coordinates 0590, 0665 using an Anipod Mega, or evolve a Lv. 27 Budsquire (Towerwood Form) while standing in the same woods.

Thornblade No. 034 spawn locations

Thornblade appears in two areas of Breezy Plains, but the form changes with the region. The earliest Thornblade you can meet turns up in the Sea of Flowers at a low level, while the Towerwood Form is the higher-level variant that only roams Rosetower Woods.

Region	Level range	Form
Sea of Flowers	19–28	Basic Thornblade
Rosetower Woods	43–50	Towerwood Form

Rosetower Woods is found in Breezy Plains, with a recommended range of Lv. 44–51. Wild Towerwood Thornblades are usually around Lv. 45, and Lv. 49 encounters are frequent. This form’s level range is the main hurdle: enter too weak, and nearby enemies can finish the fight before you throw an Anipod. For a dependable search, check the eastern ledge and cliffside by the maze, where multiple Thornblades may roam.

How to catch the Towerwood Form in Rosetower Woods

Go into Breezy Plains and select Rosetower Woods as your destination. Bring a party ready for Lv. 44 or above, as the creatures near your target are at a similar level.

Make for the eastern cliffside by the vine-covered stone ruins, near coordinates 0590, 0665. Walk along the ledge and keep an eye on the flowering ground cover. Thornblade may be absent on a given pass, so you might need to circle back through the area.

Sneak up on the wandering Thornblade from the rear. Approaching without being seen improves your catch percentage compared with throwing once it has noticed you and turned around.

Use an Anipod Mega for double the catch multiplier; it works on targets up to Lv. 35 and gives about a 56% chance when the target is at full HP. Expect some throws to fail and bring several Anipods. For higher odds, first lower Thornblade’s HP or break it, then throw.

Should your party defeat Thornblade before you get a chance to throw, fast travel somewhere else and change the time of day to make it return.

Alternative area: Sea of Flowers

Earlier in your Breezy Plains progress, you can find another Thornblade guarding a chest in the Sea of Flowers. It is partly buried beside the chest, with a few Budsquires nearby. This lower-level area is handy before your team can manage Rosetower Woods. To respawn it, fast travel away and change the time of day if you defeat it before catching it.

Evolving Budsquire (Towerwood Form) into Thornblade

Towerwood Budsquire lives in the same area, so you can catch one during that visit and train it as an alternative. Its evolution depends on meeting specific conditions, and all of them must be met simultaneously.

A Budsquire (Towerwood Form) at Lv. 27 or higher.
Defeat a wild Thornblade using a party with the Budsquire as its only member.
Be standing in Rosetower Woods when you evolve it.

The requirement to win alone is easy to overlook. Remove all other creatures from your party, then have Budsquire defeat a wild Thornblade by itself. In Rosetower Woods, both the required opponent and the required location are right there.

Budsquire can evolve along two different branches. A separate condition set leads to Melloblum, so keep a Budsquire intended for Thornblade away from that route.

Confirming the catch and rewards

Catching or evolving one records the Towerwood Form in particular. Verify the registration in the Aniilog at entry No. 034. Its first-time registration awards Growth Flower x2, while submitting a report earns 100 Credits. A catch also advances your Thornblade Special Form collection progress and increases your Collaboration Ability Level by +1.

After you register the form, you can select it for that Aniimo from the Change Form menu. When it is not in your party, leave it in the Homeland: its Grass and Artisanship abilities can plant seeds, collect resources, or craft goods while you return to find another one.

Thornblade (Towerwood Form) stats and skills

The Towerwood Form is 1.6m tall, weighs 6kg, and has Grass element level 3. Its Grass typing means fire, wind, and dark attacks deal 1.6x damage, while grass, water, and earth attacks deal 0.625x.

Stat	Value	Stat	Value
HP	96	P.DEF	74
ATK	121	M.DEF	73
BREAK	53	REGEN	92

Sword Dance is its trait. Using a skill adds a stack, up to four, and stacks last 15 seconds; each basic attack consumes one to deal 180% extra damage. Use skills to build stacks, then spend them with basic attacks. Both dash skills increase Crit Rate on a hit. Thorny Defense retaliates when Thornblade is struck, and activating it on the exact frame an attack lands boosts Crit Rate by 30% for 15 seconds.

Skill	EP cost	Power
Thorny Defense	20	75
Thorny Impact	20	57
Thorny Rain	10	30
Elegant Waltz (Ultimate)	0	172

With the Towerwood Form logged and its stats in hand, you have both routes covered: sweep the eastern cliffside of Rosetower Woods with a stack of Anipod Megas, or raise a Budsquire in the same woods and satisfy its evolution conditions all at once.
