Main Story

History

Lanino runs the weather channel alongside Elnina as employees of Tenna.

Chapter 3

Lanino and Elnina are two of the Darkners who first appear in the TV World. During the Desert Board in Round 1, the pair will trigger a battle after using Lancer to dig up a key and block the oasis, or after drinking from the oasis 8 times. During their battle, Lanino and Elnina get into an argument, and one of the pair storms off based on choices made earlier in the battle. The remaining character continues through the fight alone, but realizes their mistake, and the battle ends early.

The main goal of the Island Board in Round 2 is to get to Atlantis Stadium, which is only accessible when two lovers meet at Lover's Cliff. When Lanino and Elnina are about to be reunited, it is revealed that Rouxls Kaard has begun dating whichever Darkner left the battle first. Awkwardly, the three form a throuple.

After the players escape Tenna, the new throuple appears on the set of the cooking show, and Rouxls initiates a battle upon learning the fact that, despite being in a relationship with Tenna's highest subordinates, their positions and power do not extend to himself. In the last phase of the battle, Lanino and Elnina will fight alongside Rouxls. Afterwards, the two will admit that they had only entered a throuple with Rouxls because they wanted to date each other again, but both Darkners thought the other was interested in Rouxls. Lanino and Elnina reconcile completely and decide to leave Rouxls, stating that the latter is "hot but really weird."

If Starwalker was spoken to in Chapter 1, he joins the couple as their new third after the battle, and the three exit on the right side of the screen.

In their final appearance of Chapter 3, Lanino and Elnina quit working for Tenna, being some of the final Darkners to do so. However, the weather channel is still featured in Tenna's battle, which could be due to legal contracts.

Chapter 4

If both Lanino and Elnina were recruited during Chapter 3, they can be fought at the newly-renamed Love Dojo, where the prize for winning is an Exec Buffet. If one of the two reach 0 health, the fight is won and immediately stops.

In Battle

Desert Board Encounter

Attacks

• Sun: A moon will appear above the battle box that will produce small suns that move down the screen in an arc. If these bullet come into contact with Elnina's (at least for the first few turns on of the battle), they'll produce two pink hearts that rapidly move to the side of the screen.
• Extra Dextra Sun/Moon: If you said you liked Lanino's attacks more, he will start producing larger versions of his normal bullets. Upon contact with Elnina's, they will dissipate.

Strategy

The battle is almost entirely survival, as whether or not you use the ACT ILOVETV on either, one of them will ask who’s attack you like more, leaving the ACTs only real function being decreasing up the time Tenna takes to finish saying ILOVETV for you at the end of the battle.

Trivia

• He and his partner's names are likely based on El Niño and La Niña, the warming and the cooling phases of the Southern Oscillation.
• When a lampshade is featured in the final attack of their Chapter 4 rematch, both remark how it made the attack stronger, but they didn't like how it felt (with some uncertainty). This is because the lampshade is supposedly Rouxls.
