At the core of SOMO are the SOMOs themselves. Unique, collectible characters with distinct personalities, abilities and potential. 

Each SOMO belongs to a specific class, boasts unique power types and holds elemental affinities that determine their strengths and weaknesses in battle. As you progress through the universe, you can evolve your SOMOs, unlocking new abilities and increasing their power.
