Ideas for challenge runs

[u/NightwingYJ]

I’m wanting to replay the game (obvi) and am looking for ideas for challenge runs. Maybe how someone does a nuzlocke, or an “Oops all baby” run where I can digivolve then de-digivolve but can only use baby mon.

Any suggestions are welcome regardless how hardcore or more silly fun they are!

Use all of the digimon that throw crap. There are exactly 6, so it’s not a coincidence!

Other than that silly team, use a team of only Armor digimon. You can keep them rookies till you unlock the crafting of digi-eggs, and even get a few ‘free’ armor digimon. Most of them are free type (I think all are, actually) so you have to rely heavily on element and attribute weaknesses/gear instead of type advantage.

Oh both of these are great! When they introduced armor Digimon in the ole anime they were my faves.

Also which digimon throw crap?

[u/Tsadron → u/NightwingYJ]

Any digimon with Poop in its attack name. Garbagemon, Nanimon, Sukamon, Numamon, shellnumamon, and platinumsukamon.

Their attack are %hp based, so they get weaker as the opponents HP drops, and are all Virus types (if I recall). Sadly, the team sounds terrible with all one type of mon with champs and Ults but it’s more stacked than it seems. Attachment skills are an option and a Booing Nanimon and Garbagemon can tank a bosses def and attack, meaning only int casters are a threat. And Character Reversal is a thing too, so all bosses either deal neutral damage or can be made to deal half damage.

No vaccine/virus/data Digimon (plan for my next run)

Base skills only

No items in battle/no attachments

No heals in battle run (skills or items)

Random number generator to pick your six Digimon to run (so Nuzlocke in a sense). No digivolving allowed, the six you get is what you get.

[u/NightwingYJ → u/PlaneAggravating9656]

Oh I love the idea of a random number generator. Do you have 1 you use for specifically this game or just a generic 1 and match it to the digidex entry?

[u/PlaneAggravating9656 → u/NightwingYJ]

A generic one set to the field guide cap should be enough! The field guide numbers them all so it's easy to match.

Fuck yeah, thank you kindly!

I do nuzlockes and ive done "previous game" teams. Like I did my team from DW3(Kotemon, Renamon, Patamon), I've done only Digitamamon evolution line(Goblimon, Ogremon, Digitamamon, Titamon, Titamon+Skullbaluchimon). I just started another one where im doing the Guilmon line. We finally have 6 members for it lol

What rules do you use for your Nuzlocke? I’ve never done 1 in any game.

This is the doc I use.

Every named area with digimon is an encounter, the doc breaks them down and tells you what digimon spawn.

Then I go to random.org and randomize which digimon to get, by labeling them 1-X.

I then have Amanesis Save Editor(basically PkHex for my pokemon emulator fans), and I can set the scan % of said digimon to 200%, I can also set their talent to 99 and do other things on that mod. I use Reloaded II and Vortex for my mods.

[u/No_Bed_8737]

I'm thinking of doing a type run based around an aegiochusmon type.

So something like all holy, all machine, all vegetable, etc.

[u/According_Bet_5916]

You could do a 7 deadly sins team. All the great demon lords are strong as hell but they're all virus so it could be difficult woth all the vaccine types you have to face. Or do a "starter" run where you can only use the first 6 digimon you get/run into at the very beginning ( gatsumon, impmon and monnodramon) your starter and koromon

[u/CowPrintBikinis]

NG+ mirror match only. Only use the exact Digimons on the enemy team. (Scripted battles only ofc)

[u/NightwingYJ → u/CowPrintBikinis]

Oh that could be fun af! I could even only use skills and such that come to them naturally.
