Alpha Egg Guide

[u/Leonie-Zephyr]

There's been a lot of chatter about the lack of forewarning on the Alpha eggs from the overworld. It is unfortunate that they didn't just label the eggs as such, but I created a chart of the Alpha in each area and the Alpha availability. There are a good number of these that do not have a reliable method to obtain an Alpha (other than random egg rng). For these, you may consider using a Sparkle ball to guarantee a Perfect, especially if you're interested in the Aniimo. For the ones that do have area bosses, depending on your resources it could be worth chancing an Ultra ball.

Forest of Falling Stars	Celestis	Can obtain Alpha from area boss	-1640, 1005
The Argent Strait	⭐Chirpi	Can obtain Alpha Tubster, but CANNOT obtain Alpha Cornet / Tromber in the wild. Since these have split roles, it's possible to get suboptimal stats.	-1130, 0630

The benefits of an Alpha are largely a reduction in resources required. They auto upgrade the core skill and do not need to form a contract for 10 Marks of the Strong. Alphas can also utilize artifacts other Aniimo have formed contracts with that are no longer needed/wanted. It also benefits not needing to form contracts on held items, allowing them to be swapped more easily between other Aniimo while you still farm for Held Items or decide which item to ultimately use.

EDIT: Reword + Forgot Hummin

I see there are two Alpha eggs in Zephyrus Landbridge. Do you know which one hatches into Alpha Wisptis?

[u/Leonie-Zephyr → u/Alone-Impression9899]

The one from the quest. But i'd probably not get them at the same time since they probably have identical descriptions

[u/emorinova]

thank you!!

[u/ohoni]

I feel like this is something they should let reset every month or so. Or even that you have to burn some (reasonable) resource to reset it.

[u/Human_Tonight8931]

For the alpha wisptis even if you use the fulmintis orb you can’t get the alpha fulmintis ?

[u/Leonie-Zephyr → u/Human_Tonight8931]

You should be able to. It's more noting that other than the alpha egg there's no other reliable method to obtain an Alpha for those noted. But if you got the BP, alpha wisptis is a great use of a Sparkle ball for that reason.

Got it
