Clione
Clione is a recurring enemy in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. They are known for being one of the most powerful enemies in the Neptunia series. They are sky blue in color and float around, most likely due to their angelic wings — two on each side. It seems to only reside in the Super Dimension from Hyperdimension Neptunia and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1.
Variations
Clione is an enemy in the Neptunia series that is notable for its variations. While the Clione itself does not change in terms of design, they are known for being incredibly powerful despite their cute appearance and can completely overwhelm an under-leveled party. Each variation of the Clione will vary in strength, but they tend to become more powerful as you encounter them.
Appearances
Hyperdimension Neptunia
They first appear in Hyperdimension Neptunia as optional enemies that can be faced in dungeons by using the Descent Bell dungeon skill on a dark purple glyph. However, these optional enemies are capable of overwhelming an under-leveled party and become more powerful in higher level dungeons. The upside to their increasing power is that the amount EXP they give off also increases. Cliones give off greater amounts of EXP than most of the enemies in the game.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1
After a long absence in the Neptunia series, Cliones make a reappearance in Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 as common, but still fairly powerful, enemies.
