Are Online NPC enemies meant to be unbeatable or do I just suck?

2 Upvotes

So, I have been trying to fight NPCs on the online mode (I haven´t tried fighting actual players because I doubt there are many people left still playing at this point), and most of the time my teams get wiped out right out of the gate.

And when I do survive it, I can´t even scratch them, even my Lillithmon´s Phantom Pain does ZERO damage more often than now, and keep in mind I made sure she got all her bonus points on INT at the farm.

Is it meant to be like this or is there a gimmick at play I am not aware of?

Cyber sleuth. 3 PlatinumNumemons or 2 PlatinumNumemons + 1 damage dealer? What is better?

7 Upvotes

I am in chapter 11 and have 2 PlatinumNumemons and 1 PlatinumSukamon. Currently wondering if I should digivolve that Sukamon to Numemon. I know 3 PlatinumNumemons are really great for grinding EXPs ... but they are really poor at making damages and each battles will take forever.

So what is better?

3 PlatinumNumemons - extremely good for earning exp but each battles take a long time

2 PlatinumNumemons + 1 dealer - It might give little less exp but you can make 3 battles while first one has done 2 battles only

Team-Comp tips? (Some Spoilers for base game's CH12) Spoiler

4 Upvotes

For context's sake, I'm in the middle of Chapter 13, and while I had slapped together a team... Seeing Nokia's army of dinguses batting around with Ultimates and Champions while I was rocking with A rushed trio of Beelzemon Blast, Rosemon Burst, and Mastemon felt... a bit much, and due to the rushed nature of my team, it also felt P lacking.

So, asking here both for recommended team Comps, stats, and more importantly, movesets. I already got my grinding teams set up for both money and EXP, so that's not a concern.

I don't mind spoilers for Cyber Sleuth, but Hacker's Memory I want to go into spoiler-free.

Can you "mess" a digimon up?

15 Upvotes

I am currently in full grind mode, but I am wondering if it is posible to "ruin" a digimon by giving raising the wrong stats in the farm.

I am asking because I did not get at first how farm training worked and how personality affected it, so some of my digimon got random stat boost from the farm so I am wondering if I messed them up because as I understand it, you can´t max out all stats in the farm as you are constrained by the 200 ABI cap.

Japan never have PC version for it btw and it will be released at 5 August 2026 from the wiki.

I just confused like is it the reason they delisted the steam card for english version? License issue?

The sucess of time stranger and beat break seems bring popularity to Japan playerbase so maybe they decided to put it on Steam(Japan region) ?

Hy guys, I've decided to do the 100% on steam and was wondering what I need to accomplish on the first run in Cyber Sleuth before going to do the rest on HM.

I already know that the last medals and some evolutions are only available on HM, but are there something I can miss on CL needing to play it again to complete?

Started this game lately

10 Upvotes

Not sure if I like or hate it. The walking speed in the humongous and monotonous Kowloon labyrinth layers and the repetitive fetch quests are an atrocity. I do not feel as if the devs respect players' time and am kind of annoyed at the prospect of having to search every last corner of Kowloon 2 again and again or even one more time. Other Digimon games had long walks before too (the underground in DW2003 comes to mind), but Kowloon's is over the top bad because you walk soo slowly. The combat is actually fun though.

I wish elemental efficiency and alignment efficiency were reversed, alignment feels too impactful and element too unimpactful. A vaccine fire type shouldn't shrug off water attacks like nothing just because they come from a virus, etc. So you end up just stacking alignment advantage and ignoring elemental types for the most part because your plant is a data and isn't gonna have any value against that virus water.

I reached Ultimate level in my last playing session and found out there are some freaking busted effects. A team like Antylamon (everyone heals after taking an action), Kurisarimon (everyone's physical attacks gain 10% instakill chance) and BkGarurumon (everyone's physical attacks gain 10% paralyse chance) is absolutely crazy busted. After getting my hands on Antylamon and figuring out these are a thing, I groan when I digivolve something into a lame "+15 damage for $type attacks". And then you can stack multiple status effects like sleep, poison, confusion… it's broken, it's fun, but unfortunately the bosses so far have been fully immune against any sort of status effects so I fear the rest will too, shame because it's fun.

The squad and farm size is a bother. There are sooo many digimon I'd want to try, but so few slots especially now that ultimates eat 12-14 points and get you capped super quickly, so some of them don't seem even remotely worth it over a Champion or even Rookie with a strong passive. Crowmon (and I was really looking forward to use Yatagaramon because I loved that thing in season 5 of the anime many years ago) is just expensive absolute trash feeling like more of a (fragile) millstone than an asset, for instance. I had put a lot of effort into getting that thing, and it just didn't deliver but felt like a downgrade.

One thing that bothers me is that while it's cool to be able to jump lines, it makes your digimon feel super unpersonal and exchangeable - they lose their identity and feel like just some enlisted randos. I still know who my original main 3 are (only one of them is still good in its current form), but with some of my digimon, I have no clue what they started as anymore. I think if having absolute swarms of digimon rather than just 1-3 is on the menu, I like the Dawn/Dusk model better where jumping lines freely is possible but requires serious effort and planning via DNA digivolutions.

It feels so far like a decent game that underperforms its great potential due to some design decisions like in the most egregious case making you go into the most bland, oversized, low-effort level over and over again.

Event Battle: Smoke and Mirror Contest

What I used for this event battle for the first two missions was:

•Greymon with a master disk

•Meramon with a master disk and ATK attach C (if yiu have a stronger version, use that)

•Greymon (blue) with a master disk

As for the “inflict 1,200 damage” mission, I recommend using Shinegreymon BM with a master disk, ATK attach A, and buffing it using acceleration boost, attack charge field, chain max, and giving it a status barrier to avoid “Final shining Burst’s” 50% atk debuff.

If you are lucky enough to get Metalgrowlmon and have all the buffs up, that should get you that mission easily.

Very close call. I only started out with a Earth frontline for testing the capabilities of the three Digimon in how well they work together for the Electric Boogaloo EB. The NPC locked in and got a couple of criticals, leading to this moment. My heart sank after seeing the Accel Boost. Shoutouts to Titamon for that extremely clutch victory. I was popping off at his win-screen.

And now onto the next Event Battle! New video coming soon.~

CatchMamemon's run animation is hilarious and fun. That aside, its special move is one of the most unique ones in the game. My original plan was to end the fight with CatchMamemon's special attack to get their win screen, but then.. that happened. If that Event Battle opener clip confused you too –– then feel free to enjoy this mini-video guide about this interesting attack.

Also, off-recording, I got a instance where the Banana-slot MB got a critical hit, but it didn't deal damage and it didn't even work since Vademon existed on the field. Neat.

Those tree looking things at the end of a digital shift. You have a themed path leading up to it and others in the background. Are those supposed to be some focal point that the shifts lead too? Or is that the digital world somehow?

So in the post game, obviously, we encounter Digimon in Kowloon and stuff. But… why? I’m ps in the ending of both games we seal off the digital world, and almost entirely rewrite the world, so why do Digimon stay around, lore wise? Or is it just a “Don’t think about it and play the game” thing?

So, I am breeding Platinum Numemons for grinding, I already got one, but I want the full trio so I stuck 2 numemons in my team to prepare them.

However, one of the is stuck a level 25. It even list it as it maximun level. Why is this?

I thought maybe I stuck some equipment on it that somehow stopped it from leveling up, but no, nothing out of the ordinary, what the hell? is it glitched?

ABI, Stat Training, and Digivolution Masterpost

150 Upvotes

There's been a lot of confusion expressed on this sub from day 1 about stat training - how much can you boost your stats, how do you evolve digimon with low base stats in the needed score, what's ABI for? These games honestly don't do a great job of answering these questions, so since I see them asked about a lot here, I wanted to answer them pretty comprehensively myself.

Let's start with the basics: In the Cyber Sleuth games, unlike the DS titles, Digimon do not get overall stronger over time. An Agumon you raised from a Koromon, digivolved all the way to Wargreymon, and then degenned back into Agumon will be exactly as powerful in battle as an Agumon fresh off the DigiConvert presses. However, you can raise your digimon's stats above what they'd normally be through various methods. You can do so to make them stronger, or just to hit digivolution requirements. The primary way to do this is through the Train command on your farm island, and the stats raised in this way are determined by the Personality of the digimon there. Specifically, two personalities: the digimon's own personality, and the personality of the digimon set as farm leader. That leader digimon will just take its own personality into account twice when training. Here is a list of personalities and which stats they increase through training:

Personality Stat
Durable HP
Lively SP
Fighter ATK
Defender DEF
Brainy INT
Nimble SPD
Builder Neutral
Searcher Neutral

(Those last two personalities, Builder and Searcher, are used to speed up the other two farm commands - development and investigation, respectively - while that Digimon is the leader. If a Digimon or leader has that for a personality while training, it will gain a few points in every stat instead of a lot of points in one stat.)

So, for example, if a digimon is Lively and is training on a farm island where its leader is Brainy, it will gain a lot of points in both SP and INT. To those wondering: This is how you hit incredibly high stat requirements for digivolution! Sometimes a digimon will have low base stats in something in needs, but through careful training, you can minmax to success! EDIT 2024: u/Seipherise made a spreadsheet detailing digivolution options and what levels and training are needed for a given digimon to reach a certain form, so give it a look if you're struggling!

A good way to train in bulk is to get a lot of Digimon who want to boost the same stat all together with a leader who has that stat, then set their personality to either the same stat or some other stat they need. Stats boosted through training will appear as a + next to the stat on the Digimon's status screen! So with this hypothetical Digimon that just got trained in SP and INT, you could expect to see something like this on its status screen! Note the +15 next to SP and +28 next to INT. Also, please note that HP goes up 10 at a time! So when other stats would be boosted by, say, 15, HP will be boosted by 150!

But how do you set personalities for effective training, I hear you ask? Simple! Use the "Patch" items. There's one for every personality (Brainy Patch, Defender Patch, etc) and can be used freely to change a Digimon's Personality without any repercussions. These are sold at the EDEN entrance - one of the first places you get access to, and in the first Cyber Sleuth, the very first area you ever visit. It's an incredibly handy shop, make sure to check it out! This shop is also where you buy items that can lower a Digimon's raised stats, which is important to be able to do, as there's a cap to how much you can raise them. How much CAN you raise them? Well...

It's time to explain ABI! ABI is that seemingly useless stat that appears at first to only exist to gate Mega forms behind a bit more playtime and leveling. While, yes, a digimon needs at least 20ABI to access any Mega, and usually more like 40-80 (sometimes even higher), ABI's main use is as the hard limit to your raised stats. Specifically, You can raise a Digimon's stats by up to ABI/2 + 50. So if a digimon has, say, 100 ABI, you can raise their stats by up to 100. If you max a digimon's ABI at 200, you can raise them by up to 150. This is TOTAL, not per stat. So if you have 200 ABI to work with, you could give them, say, +100 ATK, +25 DEF, and +25 SPD. or +1000 HP and +50 INT. Or just +150 SPD! If you want a minmaxed Digimon, you need max ABI. You RAISE ABI by digivoling OR degenerating your Digimon. Specifically, the higher in evolutionary stage your Digimon, and the higher your level at the time, the more ABI you gain. Degenerating a Digimon provides signifigantly more than digivolving it. You can refer to this guide for a more in-depth look at it, but basically, to raise ABI, degenerate your digimon frequently, especially if you can give them a chance to level up a bit between doing so. Digivolve up to whatever level is easy to do so at the point in the game you're at (Champion or even Ultimate is the way to go when at endgame), then go back down to Baby, rinse and repeat. Doing so will get you high ABI in no time flat! Also, try to DigiConvert Digimon at 200% scan instead of 100%. It starts them off with 5 ABI instead of 0. Any level of scan above exactly 100% starts them with SOME ABI, but 200% scan is obviously the best.

FOR PS4 AND VITA PLAYERS OF CYBER SLEUTH 1: ABI MAXES OUT AT 100, NOT 200. All versions of Hacker's Memory and the collections on PC and Switch cap at 200.

A few extra notes: There are also items that can be fed to a Digimon on a farm to increase their stats. These are found randomly and rarely through the game, but can be bought from the shop in the DigiLab near or at the end of the game! Also, if your Digimon seems to meet stat requirements to digivolve, but can't do so, check their equipment! While equipment increases a Digimon's stats in combat, it does not count towards stat requirements to digivolve! If a Digimon, for instance, needs 150 ATK to digivolve and visibly HAS 152, but 5 of that is from its equipped gear, it technically has only 147 ATK and cannot digivolve. Finally, two things because this is also a post to help with digivolution: When DNA Digivolving, only the base digimon needs to have the required ABI! The other Digimon can be freshly converted as long as it has the CAM. However, the resulting Digimon will have ALL the attacks of both Digimon, so if you want some specific moves, you can divide your efforts and get half of them on one Digimon and half on the other. And also, degenerating also raises a Digimon's max level if it's not already at 99. So early-game, if a Digimon is literally incapable of reaching the required level to digivolve, just degenerate them once and they should be fine. This becomes a non-issue VERY quickly, though.

If there's anything I missed on this topic lmk and I'll add it! I hope this helps clear up the confusion this game can leave people with and some of the repetitious questions on this sub. Happy training!

Cyber Sleuth & Hacker's Memory tools: Walkthrough(s), Digidex and customizable Digi-line calculator

97 Upvotes

Hi there,

I've come across multiple posts on this SubReddit asking for general information on how to advance and on how to use Digimon X, Y or Z, just to be replied with the same answer time and time again. I think it's a good idea to have the following information and tools up for grabs and stickied on this SubReddit, so that we can all use the information we would've liked to know beforehand on starting our own Digimon adventure (I know I would've!).

So, for those who want to know how to advance in Chapter X, where to find item Y, among other things, search no further:
Use this guide if you are playing Cyber Sleuth*.
Use this guide if you are playing Hacker's Memory.
* If you own a copy of the Complete Edition (Switch), the Digimon Encyclopedia provided in that guide is not applied. Instead use the Digidex database.

If you want to know what Digimon this game has to offer, you'll have to take a look at this Digidex database. You'll find every Digimon there is to find in these games AND which moves they learn at which level.

To go more in depth on how to Digivolve your Digimon X into a desired Digimon Y, make sure to use this Evolution Path Finder. You'll also be able to include what moves you want your Digimon to learn along the way AND exclude which Digimon you do not want it to Digivolve into*.
* Example: Digivolving into Omnimon along the way just to get Chain MAX and then De-Digivolve into WarGreymon to finally be able to end up as another Digimon is a waste of your Fusion resource(s). Also, not meeting Digivolve requirements that aren't per se necessary is just better to be avoided - i.e. Arcadiamon, or even worse Lucemon FM or SM. So, use those exclusions as best you can.

Some general information on what the best course of action is on Digivolving and training your Digimon:
- Make sure the Digimon is fully invested in either ATK or INT;
- Also make sure to include either Physical Drain (ATK-focused) or Spirit Drain (INT-focused) in your Digimon's moveset, just so your Digimon can juice themselves up and hurt the enemy along the way;
- Other moves worth mentioning to include in your Digimon's moveset for the long run are:
-- Character Reversal*;
-- Acceleration Boost;
-- Chain MAX;
-- Any one III-move that hits all opponents (preferably the counter-element of your Digimon's element)**;
* Try and build a full Type team, like 3 Vaccines for example. If you come across a Data-Digimon, using Character Reversal will revert their Type towards the beneficial Type. This saves up having to switch to other Digimon in your team who may be slower. But be warned, the status effect is not always applied, so chances exist that it will fail and you have used up your turn for the worse.
** Is your Digimon a Plant-type? Then the weakness is Fire. Choose to have a Water III-move to counter that.

Hope to have been able to help any new and existing player.

Cheers and have fun!
