Is it a waste of time grinding at the start to get Tsunomon's scan rate to 200%? Also, how do we raise the stats of Digimon after they reach their max? My Pabumon can't go any higher.

De-Digivolve. See the previous page for explanatons on what ABI is and how it affects the max level. But since Pabumon is a baby, Digivolve him to Motimon and keep Digivolving til you can't Digivolve anymore and the level is maxed... then De-Digivolve to up ABI and thus up max level so you can Digivolve some more.

And it's very very quick to get their scan to 200 for baby/in-training but personally I don't usually bother and just get them at 100% scan rate.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Really? I was sure it was. Oh well lol.

Maybe it's a Mode Change of Omegamon Zwart? hahaha. (it does look like him )

edit: Looking at it, you can see the places where the Garuru Cannon would be so yeah, it's like a twisted version of Omegamon Zwart to me.

Yeah, it's obviously still related to Omegamon.

My guess is that it will be the result of a WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon who jogress together but things get corrupted by some evil presence somehow as a third factor in it, resulting in that twisted thing.

As opposed to Omegamon Zwart, which is just a normal jogress of BlackWarGreymon and MetalGarurumon (Black).

That's a possibility as well lol. Virus infects them during Evolution.

Or maybe infects them at the Omegamon level.

We'll see soon enough but yeah, another Omegamon related Digimon.

 

[Lexxism]

Um, is there an ABI needed for Imperialdramon? Looks like I need to start increasing my digimon ABI.

 

[Reishiki]

The Legendary Warriors are from Frontiers right?

The Ten Legendary Warriors are the ten Digimon who the various spirits that appear in Frontier are based off:

AncientGreymon
AncientGarurumon
AncientBeetlemon
AncientKazemon
AncientMegatheriummon
AncientSphinxmon
AncientMermaimon
AncientTroiamon (Is the greatest thing ever)
AncientWisetmon
AncientVolcanomon

Each one of those has a Human Hybrid, Beast Hybrid and a Fusion Hybrid, although only two fusions were seen in Frontier: Aldamon and BeoWolfmon

Um, is there an ABI needed for Imperialdramon? Looks like I need to start increasing my digimon ABI.

Do you have Paildramon yet?

if not, don't get one yet, wait til the two Digimon have 80 - 100 ABI just to be safe.

If you do, then if you don't have enough ABI, you'll need to get a new Stingmon or Ex-Veemon (depending on what you choose to De-Digivolve Paildramon into)

I don't remember off hand how ABI is calculated when DBA Digivolving nor how much Imperialdramon needs.

But yes, you can assume all Megas need ABI. How much varies but they almost always need the ABI.

Damn 80. I guess I'll stay in level kowloon level 3 for awhile to raise their ABI. I'm currently at level 4 and I'm done with the subway stuff. Where's the best place to level? or I did miss it at the subway?

 

[Candescence]

I swear the restaurant sections are written by Kinoko Nasu, because it's just pure food porn.

Also King Drasil, is that Yggdrasil in Digimon Savers dub? (most of those names changes I didn't like (only saw the first 15 eps of the dub) but I didn't mind the dub itself funnily enough) If so, that's annoying as well, just because it's a great reference that's been in many localized things (including certain Bamco games).

Yeah, it's what they chose for Yggdrasil. I honestly don't get why they changed it to 'King Drasil', either, since it completely loses the norse myth reference. Maybe because they were worried about pronunciation?

Okay, what the heck am I supposed to do to beat the two

That shouldn't even matter for the anime as it's dubbed anyway unless the voice director is bad or something as they would be making sure everything is pronounced correctly.

[March of the Crabs]

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I increase the level cap? My Digimon maxes out at level 15 but needs level 16 to Digivolve into who I want!

Vaccine types, Champion or above.

Concentrate on both of them at once.

I used two Vaccines (Rapidmon and Gatomon) and one Virus (LadyDevimon)

Golden Triangle on one, Holy Light II on the other and Darkness Wave which hits both of them. Took them down quickly enough.

This was on Normal, don't know how I'd do it on hard but this worked for Normal anyway. (along with maybe one or two SP or HP healing items if needed)

Top of the page/previous page.

But basically, ABI stat. De-Digivolve to raise it (or Digivolve into a different champion to raise it and then De-Digivolve to your Rookie)

Unless you are on hard that fight should be pretty easy. What digimon do you have.

Just checked it out.

Imperialdramon needs 20 ABI but you will ONLY be able to raise it to 100 from then on by De-Digivolving to Paildramon and then Digivolving back to Imperialdramon just as a warning. (unless you want to train another Stingmon/Ex-Veemon)

Also if you want Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode later in the game then you will need 100 ABI. It's a requirement for him.

Thanks for looking at it. Looks like I have no choice but to raise it to 100 ABI before digivolving it to Paildramon.

Also, my question for grinding. I'm at chapter 4 after doing the Shinjiku subway. Is Kowloon level 3 the best way to grind?

 

[fastballspecial]

I hate to be "one of those people" but the enthusiasm for this game is making me more interested in it. I've never played a Digimon game and have zero experience with the series in any form.

With that said, is there stuff I should know or have to know before jumping in the mess? Or does the game do a pretty good job of initiating the uninitiated? The game is incredibly colorful, the designs of the monsters seems really cool and I love a good turn based RPG.

Take the Hagurumon request from the board, that is THE best place to grind for now. With 3 PlatinumSukamon + Character Reverse (one of the moves they learn which makes Vaccine Digimon weak to Virus type moves), you'd get 4000 EXP roughly per fight in the starting area of his dungeon. (Peckmon/Greymon are Vaccine types that can be infected with BUG from Character Reverse while Dorugamon is a data type who is already weak to virus type moves and those 3 were the only ones I came across at when at the first area of the dungeon where Hagurumon is)

To get PlatinumSukamon, get Pabumon from Kowloon level 1, then

Pabu -> Motimon -> Hagurumon -> PlatinumSukamon.

And if you need to de-digivolve them to Hagurumon to raise their ABI/Max Level then do them one at a time so you can use the other 2 to help you level Hagurumon up quickly so they can re-digivolve into PlatinumSukamon.

 

[Tiops]

Got wrecked by the Chapter 5 bosses, had to evolve 2 Digimons to Ultimate (AeroVeedramon and Angewomon) to be able to beat them, and the battle was long as hell even then.

Hard is pretty hard.

How does one go about getting the prized Tactician USB?

 

[Nachtfalke]

I have a question about this Digivolving/De-Digivolving thing:
Should I level the digimon to the levelcap and then digivolve / de-digivolve them or should I do this when possible? For example, the levelcap for my patamon is 35 iirc, but I can digivolve them between lvl 15-17. Will I miss something when I will bring them on the next level like Skills in Fire Emblem Awakening?

 

[Stuart444]

Either via the 1000 yen development in the DigiFarm, as a reward later on (I think we get one as a reward) or via an enemy near the end of the game.

I'd say do it to max and then de-digivolve. it gives a bigger increase in ABI.

 

[BY2K]

So do I get the EXP boost from PlatinumSukamon even if he's only in the reserve and not active in battle?

 

[Saphirax]

Nope. Needs to be active.

Needs to be active. And remember, they stack so 3 = 3 times the bonus EXP .

Ah, so that's why I saw someone having 3 PlatinumSukamon on his/her lineup. It makes sense. Thank you again with your help. You were really helpful.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I auto battled the gold cup and my team of platsuks slowly killed flamedramon lol

i suppose it was time to move on eventually

Glad to be of help. And as to

Spoiler

Lucemon. His first form is easy because I just used Lilithmon's Phantom Pain AFTER using PlatSukamon's Character Reversal and it hit him for MAX dmg (literally) but Chaos Mode DESTROYED me. Mercilessly. ;_;

I'll keep that in mind for him.


I have to say it's a bit intimidating the more I look at the options given the number of ways you can transition any digimon into other evolutions to gain access to different skills. Building really powerful ones is going to take a really long time I can already tell.

 

[Croc]

So can anyone give me a tip for where to go in Chapter 7? I'm supposed to eat at some restaurant in Nakano and I've walked around multiple times (especially on the restaurant floor) and I don't see anything. And it also won't even let me leave Nakano cause it says I have an empty stomach.

edit: oh, the places aren't marked. I just saw an X briefly flash across my screen so I guess I wasn't walking close enough to the walls...

There's two by the entrance, and one on the third floor iirc. They look like fronts of stores, you have to go up to them and interact.


Also, what level were people's lucemon when they evolved it to FM? I'm trying to do the math, and I think I can get the right stats at like 90s >.>

They aren't really clearly marked, just run at every door you see until a prompt shows up. There are two on the ground floor near the entrance from what I remember.

Hey guys/gals

I really hate to derail the discussion going on here but I'm looking for a little input about this game. So if a few people could just chime in with some quick opinions that would be great.

I have never played a Digimon game before but from the first time I saw this game it peaked my interest. Is this a good game to jump into if I have never played any of the prior games? Does it stand on its own? Do to my own ignorance I sort of associated this series as another "pokemon" game, however the OP points out that its in fact closer to Shin Megami Tensei style games. How close is this comparison? I really enjoy the SMT games along with the variants and if this is similar then it should be right up my alley.

Finally, outside of the obvious graphical differences are there any other downfalls of the Vita version? I would prefer to play this on the handheld if everything works well there.

It stands on it's own, no prior experience needed. Can't say too much about the comparison to SMT though since I've just played the Persona games in depth.

But anyway the Vita version is just fine, they are basically the same outside of 30fps on the Vita while the PS4 is higher. But the Vita version is perfectly fine considering it was originally made for the Vita so get that if you prefer to play it on your hand held .

No Digimon knowledge required at all, so that shouldn't be much of a concern. I'm actually looking forward to recommending this to my friends who haven't given Digimon a fair shake before. I think the SMT comparisons are pretty spot on, not only because of the Japanese setting, but because both those games and this one have really addictive monster growth systems- if you enjoyed making really powerful demons/personas, this game won't disappoint you.

Oh, and I've been playing the Vita version. I think it looks great!

Imo flamedramon isn't all that good. I say go for ulfroceveedramon.

 

[Stuart444]

You won't be able to get UlforceVeedramon until around Chapter 19 anyway just remember.

And if you want to get all stuff in the field guide taken care of, you can always Digivolve him to Flamedramon and then De-Digivolve him.

Question, I have AeroVeedramon and I just got the Digi Egg of Courage, so is it worth it to De-digivolve and get Flamedramon or should I just keep heading for UlfroceVeedramon?

Well since I'm in Chapter 7 how about getting Flamedramon and then when I'm later in the game go back and get him up to UlforceVeedramon? Is how is Flamedramon compared to AeroVeedramon?

If I remember correctly, Flamedramon learns a decent skill around Lv. 20 something.

So it could definitely be worth it even if I end up with UlforceVeedramon in the end anyways?

 

[Stuart444]

Just so people know, the Platinum Digimon and GoldNumemon both give you more EXP (Plats) and Yen (GoldNumemon) when you face them in battle as well. And I think the EXP USB is dropped by PlatinumNumemon in the final proper dungeon.

GoldNumemon seems to drop CAM USB which doesn't increase friendship like you might think. It increases the Combo Rate (Combo Rate + 10%) (I found him in Kowloon Level 4, base yen is just over 3000 from one fight and they are easy to beat with Vaccine types)

Just some small tid bits incase you come across them. I remember using Function Call 2 in the final dungeon to spawn PlatNumemon for the EXP USB.

Just some small tips for folk
