It sure has consumed me. 90% of my 20hr playtime has been focusing solely on digivolution and grinding, and it's a lot of fun.

Did I see Kuwabara say something about stat-decreasing items? Or did I misread?

There are items that decrease your bonus stats, so that you can focus your bonuses on the stats that you need to get higher.

Holy fuck, the difficulty spike on the hard mode Eater boss in the Subway is off the chain.
How in the fuck do you go from fighting bosses that do 100 damage tops and then minutes later you fight a boss that does like 800 damage plus regens?
I don't want to turn down the difficulty, but oh man, it's like something got seriously broken in terms of stats in the difficulty increase. I am at a complete loss on how to deal with this guy in a way that doesn't involve grinding.
Please tell me I am just missing something simple about this thing.

I can do fine enough despite his absurdly high damage due to my team of champions, but then he does the absorb attack on the guest digimon and does a whooping 1,200 HP in damage and regens everything he took.
Is there any way to get back to this one?
Much later on, there will be one or two more requests in there. Once those are done, it becomes available in the Mirror Dungeon accessible from the DigiLab
but by then, there will be far better places to grind anyway.

That's what I thought. Awesome.
The green SS on a digimon's data page is its support skill, right? Does it apply to everyone even though the way it's worded doesn't exactly imply that ("increases x stat by x%", for example) and are the reserve mons' support skills active, or do they have to be in the frontline?
e: also does a digimon's personality affect anything?

Had a bit of trouble with this one as well.
Use attacks that ignore the ennemy's defense (if none of your digimon has such attacks, try to get a Gekomon or a Stingmon) and have all your digimons guard when the boss has two turns in a row. He should go down in 3 or 4 attacks.
Reserve Digimon skills aren't active unless they are in the front line (it's why PlatSukamon bonus exp skill doesn't work)
Personality effects what stats are trained in the farm.
Put a Digimon with a certain personality (ie Defender which I think is DEF) as leader and every Digimon in the farm will gain bonus stats based on the leaders personality when trained in the farm.

It applies to the whole party, they have to be on the front line though for it to activate.
Their personality affect what kind of stats are trained in the digifarm. Like if it's fighter and you set them as the farm leader and choose train, all the Digimon in the farm will have their ATK stat raised (along with whatever their own personality trait raises).
There's also Builder and Searcher though that help with the other 2 Digifarm options: Developing items and Investigating.

Maaaaan that's stupid. Ah well.
I'm not there yet but you could always try a poison skill.
Also help I can't decide between Lopmon to Devimon or Gatomon. I wanted Gatomon but Devimon is so cool. Which one would be easier to acquire through another Digimon?
Thank you! Sorry for cluttering the thread with my questions, I just want to know exactly what I'm doing lol

Is there any purpose to replying to a Digimon's texts? If there is I think I forgot it.
Does it raise CAM or something?

Any multiple choice dialogue is the only problems I have with the localization so far.
IF the choices actually match with the question asked, sometimes the choices aren't what they're supposed to be.
When the story presents choices it'll be split weirdly and not even a choice at all so it's like
How are you doing today?
- I am doing very
- well thank you
- how about yourself?
Yea there are some weird localization issues between the texts, and some of the choices. Like a lot of them just straight up don't make sense. Still nowhere near as bad as that SAO translation though, that was legendary.
Nearly up there with Xenoverse.

DIgimon levels don't really matter except for battling. If you're focused on evolving, you can evolve ASAP if you'd like. However, it's worth nothing that if you're trying to fulfill ABI prerequisites, you need to grind and devolve/digivolve to increase your ABI stat.
Wait til max level and ABI should increase more when you de-digivolve.
It can help cut the grind ever so slightly.
Unfortunately, I didn't find a Digimon with a poison skill, but I ended up grinding a little bit and made two saves: one where I had Blue Greymon and Veedramon ready to evolve, Gatomon pretty damn close to it, and IceDevimon and Seadramon in reserve. With the other, I went full hog-wild, used those EXP items, and made a team of Cyberdramon, Blue MetalGreymon, and IceDevimon.
IceDevimon has a def-piercing skill and he still owned the thing in two hits by himself. I am now a believer of piercing skills.

Gatomon has a fixed-damage special attack that does 150 HP per hit. It's normally enough to handle the Erasers I've fought so far in two hits.

This game seems complicated. Still on the edge to buy this.

They're in the shop in the digilab, more of them become available as you progress.

Does BlackKingNumemon digivolve into Platinum?Start of Chapter 4...
And I have 2 of my EXP boosting partners
I'll probably still spend some time in the Hagurumon dungeon but not too much. Maybe try to get 1 more Plat if possible but we'll see. I can always pick one up later.
You'll find them or get them as rewards from quests.
No? (edit: yes, paper answered below. I haven't even had a BlackKingNumemon so I just assumed not. sorry)
Pabumon -> Motimon -> Hagurumon -> PlatinumSukamon -> Etemon -> PlatinumNumemon
Only the Suka and Nume (aka the plats) have the bonus EXP support skill.

You can always keep one in the farm for later chapters anyway.
Indeed. Though I believe when I played it originally, I almost always had 2 plats with me until I had more memory than I needed for that point in time haha. (then I put the 3rd one in and they recked shit and leveled up my reserve team with ease lol)

Finally got Beelzemon! Was a hassle getting Infermon's HP to 2000. His Gluttony skill is pretty awesome too
Current Mains:
Beelzemon is taking a lot of work, haha. I'm working through the Wizardmon stage right now.

You get memory up items from bosses, quest rewards and treasure chests. You might already have some if you check your inventory.
Story Missions afaik

That is a badass team of badassery.
And chests and quest rewards (only the red pinned ones are story related just fyi)
Always pick up chests and shiny sparkles just incase
It's honestly no more complicated then Pokemon.
