Tumblers let you catch multiple Aniimo in one run, making repeated Wild Surges quicker to clear. Joff sells them for Credits, but regular Aniipods also work if you want to save your money.
Before attracting the group, take your companion out of an aggressive stance so it does not start attacking the creatures you want to catch. Use a smaller companion or recall one whose effects obstruct your view. Your own Sparkling Aniimo’s particles can make special catches harder to spot.
Rubber Duck lures help draw nearby passive Aniimo together. Their range is limited and the ability has a cooldown, so place them near the creatures you want to gather and reposition as needed. Two compact groups can be easier to catch than one group spread across the whole area.
Line up the Tumbler carefully and aim to use its catch capacity. A little time spent arranging the group can save another item or several individual throws. If the Tumbler stops moving, try pressing forward again to get it moving.
Tumblers can become expensive when used repeatedly. Compare the price with the Aniipods you would otherwise spend, including any extra throws after failed catches. Treat Tumblers as a way to save time, they are optional for building Prismatic Energy.
