What the above said. Kuwagamon, Okuwamon, and GranKuwagamon are all in the same line and all of them learn DEF pierce moves.
You can get Kuwagamon with Tentamon
Eaters dont really have a weakness, they just have tons of def and little health. Thats why def piercing and set damage abilities are great for them.

Is there a base Digimon I could eventually evolve into tentamon?

Any tips for Legendary/Master cup? I'm gettin straight up fucked
I've got lots of hard hitters/good strategy mons including UlforceVeedramon/Beelzemon BM/Lilithmon.
In particular the last battle of the Legendary cup I get to and since none of my virus types can do their normally amazing damage and character reverse doesn't work, all of my even halfway decent people end up being useless. Even my lv. 99 Megas that are strong against them only do like 100-150ish damage a turn. If I can even get one of them close to being dead then someone just ends up totally healing them all and I'm back at square one.

Do you have any strong Data Digimon?
The master and legendary cups were also rough for me. What saved me was having a good disposal of different types of Digimon.

I'm just starting Chapter 2
I already have a Greymon, Growlmon, Dorugamon, Kuwagamon, Seadramon, Veedramon, Gabumon (soon to be Garurumon), Salamon (soon to be Gatomon), Armadillomon (soon to be Ankylomon), and I'm currently working on an ExVeemon and a Stingmon at once to prep for Paildramon
I also have a full team of 10 builders and 3 Harugumon just waiting to be turned into PlatinumSukamon
Please send help

UlForce, Beelzemon BM, Blackwargreymon, Lotusmon, Mastemom and Lilithmon is how I beat legendary, pretty much just tanked it till I could hit the piercing attacks.
I'm SO happy with this game..
I've been trying to build a nice team now that I'm at chapter 6, but I'm impressed so far at the quality of the renders and the depth of the combat system.
the only thing bothering me are the bosses, they have an absurd amount of HP and can fuck up a whole team in no time depending on the battle, I suppose those are the risks of getting to play the game on hard (normal was too easy)

I see. so essentially you can't close them?
also, someone on another forum told me that having two platinumsukamons in your fighter party will make you gain more XP at the end of battles and help level your digimon up quicker, is that true?
KuwabaraTheMan
Banned
And Gabunon looks like a dinosaur for some odd unexplained reason
That's because Gabumon is a reptile wearing Garurumon fur.
I have MirageGaogamon and Jesmon. But neither seem to do much at all, MirageGaogamon especially.
Any recommendations for better ones?
No, you can close them but new ones pop up using the farm so it's an infinite supply of requests basically.
And yes, it's true.
3 PlatinumSukamons recommended (get via Pabumon -> Motimon -> Hagurumon -> PlatinumSukamon -> Etemon -> PlatinumNumemon)
The reason I listed it that way is that once you are far enough in the game with better memory, I recommend leveling one up to Etemon and then to PlatinumNumemon and then do another one and then another one til you have 3 PlatinumNumemon.
PlatinumNumemon being Megas means they can actually help kill things quicker and 3 = lots of EXP (since they all stack). PlatinumSuka and PlatinumNumemon are the only 2 Digimon that has the EXP up support skill.
They also stack with Tactician USBs (which do the same thing but are equip items) so at the end of the game you can essentially have 3 PlatinumNumemon with 9 Tact USBs (3 per PlatinumNumemon) giving you shit load of experience.
So to sum it up, yes it's true.
(also Character Reversal which inflicts bug can be learned from PlatinumSukamon. Bug reverses the strengths and weakness of any Digimon that gets inflicted with it meaning Virus Digimon can beat Vaccine Digimon if Vaccine Digimon is inflicted with Bug)
Plesiomon, a Mega level Data type Digimon with a piercing attack.
First one that came to mind.

At first I thought this translation was alright and didn't get what everyone was talking about.
Then I ran into Ryoko. I understand some people speak stupidly in real life as well, but come ON. That whole dialogue was cringyworthy.
I can't WAIT to meet Jimmiken.

I don't get it though...so you need 3 PlatinumSukamons instead of two? And what, I need to have all of them as my fighters while the rest in my party just in enjoy the level ups?
I'm not sure how that's supposed to work unless it is an exploit that's been discovered in this game. Since you brought up Tacition USBs, that's something else I wanted to ask you about...I have "equipment", but I don't get how I can use them. Like, I needed some certain Digimon to have higher attack powers, speed powers etc..it says I have "equipment" for that but how come I can't use them on my digimon? Is the only way to make them stronger just to level them up?
Oh, I actually already have him lol. I guess I'll have to level him up and try back again later with him in my party. Thanks!

PlatinumSukamon adds +100%EXP when the battle ends. 3 PlatinumSukamons add +300%, so you get four times the XP.
They need to be active when the battle ends.

Finished the game this evening. I clocked in just under 50 hours. I must say, I really liked the ending. It was satisfying.

So here's the rundown, load up all 3 of your Battle slots with PlatSukas (if you can stomach them taking a while to attack higher level Digimon) and leave the critters you want to level in your Reserve, that still get XP (I'm not sure if its full xp or slightly reduced for not being active in battle but from what I can tell its the same be it in Reserve or Battle).
Now, Equipment are items that Digimon can equip, obviously Platinum Sukamon can equip 2 items at once. The Tactician USB items you get from the Digifarm also grant bonus XP. All the PlatSukes and USBs stack with each other. Load up all your PlatSuks (all 3 of them) with Tactician USBs, and all the Digimon you can fit into your Reserve will receive unreal levels of experience. It's cheesy, but it's no exploit, this is exactly how the game's math was intended. At worst it would be an oversight by the devs.

I heard you like platinum so I put platinum on your platinum so you can platinum while you platinum.
great job man, congratulations.
I've wanted to platinum several of my favorite games, but I think Me2 will remain my lone, one and only shiny platinum trophy.
after beating the game and not going to NG+ from the lab.
he also makes wolf howling sounds
but man this looks like a terrible wolf design
it looks like a tiger to me lol.
No, this is a tiger.
You don't need 3, it just helps.
PlatSukamon gives you double EXP. 2 gives you more, 3 gives you even more EXP. They stack on top of each other. The rest of your party will enjoy the benefits if they are in the reserved section of your party. It's not an exploit either, it's using their 'support skill' found in Digimon -> Settings -> Click the digimon you want and press right to see your skills, the bottom bit (that says SS) is your Support Skill for whatever Digimon you're viewing.
Equipment can be equipped on the settings page. (which I showed you how to get to in the paragraph above)
Your Digimon gets stronger via leveling up and using bonus stats.
here is a short explanation:
Your ABI stat determines your max level and is raised via de-digivolving and digivolving. It also determines how many bonus stats your Digimon can get via training in the DigiFarm.
(ABI / 2) + 50 up to a max of 100 bonus stats across all your stats. (so you could have +80 bonus ATK and + 20 bonus DEF for a total of 100 bonus stats if you have 100 ABI as 100 / 2 = 50 + 50 = 100 according to the math above) The bonus stats are the brackets next to your normal stats on the digimons stats page.
Some Digimon NEED these bonus stats to digivolve (ie Tokomon -> Lucemon)
That's pretty much how it works, if you're too confused by all of this, just try it out and you'll get the hang of it quickly enough. A lot of this can be trial and error until you know how it works after all
And if you want to know how much EXP you could potentially get:
This is 3 PlatinumNumemon + 9 Tactician USBs equipped vs 1 PlatinumNumemon (who gives more EXP than almost any other Random non-boss Digimon and who is only available in the final dungeon)
The result: Over 600k EXP

So with the 3 PlatinumSukamon I'll get my digimon to level up much quicker?
Where would you recommend grinding?
I hate that fucking guy. I also don't like Arata much. It pissed me off when I walked into Kyoko's office and saw him sitting in her chair. Like, the fuck you think you are mothafucker?
That's what's confusing me here...I thought the point of having an all platinumsukamon lineup was to level up your reserves significantly faster. If that's not confirmed what's the point?
I see...So, where do I get tactician USBs (I might have one already) and do they automatically equip or do I have to do it manually?

I heard you like platinum so I put platinum on your platinum so you can platinum while you platinum.
Truly the only appropriate screenshot for a Platinum Trophy in this game.
Because, overall, it DOES level them significantly faster.
1. DigiFarm, put Developer-know-hows into the DigiFarm (can be bought from shop in DigiLab), set it to develop items for 1000 Yen (not 100 or 10,000, they won't work), wait til it gets to about 1 - 2 minutes left, save it and then reset until you get them. You typically get 2 developed if successful.
2. Victory Uchida in one of the later Chapters (forget which)
3. PlatinumNumemon in the final dungeon of the game.
Only the first one can be done at almost any time. The other 2 are later in the game.

The math part confuses me a little - they've always confused me in rpg/digimon games, but I trust the rest of the information you gave =] I've got one platinumsukamon now, a keramon on one of my farms, and once I get the opportunity I'll breed another to get a platinum sukamon. once I have three of them, where would you recommend grinding?You don't need 3, it just helps.

then it'll be worth it. now speaking of the digimon farm, there's things about this I don't understand...there are "commands" but are they really necessary? the digimon seem to be developing fine without my help. and I've tried to put "equipment" on them, there's three free slots, and I'm pretty sure I have farming equipment but I can't put anything there. what's the issue?
btw, thank you, everyone, for your help
1. Depends on where you are. I can't say without knowing the Chapter/where you are.
2. Yes, the Digimon don't do anything (apart from sending you DigiLine messages) without being told to develop (items), search (for requests) or Train (bonus stats).
3. Equipment should be able to be put on via the farm goods menu. If you can't, I don't know why. The farm goods have a yellow icon I believe. (see the DigiLab shop for examples).
Thank you! Probably one of the best RPGs I played in recent years. I hope we get a sequel soon.
Maybe after Next Order? (which hopefully we also get I hope)

What is the path of least resistance to get Gaiomon?
And by least resistance I mean CAM and ABI requirements lol
And by least resistance I mean CAM and ABI requirements lol
Agu -> Geo -> Rize -> Gaiomon?
ABI/CAM will be the same for Gaiomon no matter what so I'd say go with that. Since it's either that or it's Agu -> Grey -> Metal -> Gaio. And that one needs CAM just to get Greymon.

To elaborate on what Stuart here said (who has proved infinitely helpful in this thread), make sure there are as many Digimon in the Digifarm with the "Builder" personality that you can. If you only have 1 farm, don't worry about having all 10 Digimon in the farm being Builder types. Those in combination with Developer Know-How items you can place in your Digifarm, greatly increase the chance of getting Tactician USBs. You can just churn out a bunch of level 1 baby or in-training Digimon.
You can either do the slower way of reseting each time a Digimon gets scanned and hope for a Builder type, or you can buy a certain item in EDEN (in Chapter 2 and onward I think) that for 2500 yet can turn one Digimon into a Builder type.
I love the amount of depth in this. Really rewarding too.
Okuwamon destroyed the eaters for the first half of the game for me. It's nuts how much its primary skill does to them. Half the time it one shots them. The other half it does 90%.

That's because it has low HP but super high DEF, which makes beating it with non-pierce attacks a real pain in the ass, giving it the feeling of being nigh impossible to beat. Throw a DEF piece on them and they break apart like a paper bag, it's great.

Goddammit...for those of you in NY, have you been having power outages? This is the second time in 24 hours that we've lost power. I lost it again just now while remote playing this game, right in the middle of a mission, fuck. So all that progression's done for nothing.
2. I like that they message me. Even if it's all automated, it helps to make the game feel personal. Anyways, I haven't actually tried giving them commands...do they all do it at once or each digimon takes a task at a time?

=] Hi ZeroX
I would love, love, love a direct a sequel.
Does bandai namco ever do direct sequels though? Aside from the titles and some shared characters, it seems to me that digimon games have little to do with each other.
Each farm can only handle a single task at a time. Training takes a fixed amount of time depending on how much CAM you are willing to lose while Building/Searching takes between 45 and 20 minutes dependent on how many builder/searcher digimons you have in the farm. The results of all of these tasks can be improved with Farm Goods that you can purchase from the Digi Lab.
