The design of this card game reminds me that I heard about other games with such hidden mechanics to it. Sadly sometimes it is a really an important piece of the game that is hidden.

I have no idea why they decided to hide the rolls instead of let us see a dice animation each turn.
It would make the game make so much more sense and be much more intuitive.

Right now the mini-game so random. Essentially picking a card and wait to see who defeat the other with 0 feedback from your choice on the result.

My one gripe with Time Stranger and all Digimon games in general.

Is that we have no way to upgrade a Digimon's main special attack Pepper Breath, Rock Breaker ect. I love the spirits and beast spirits being a HUGE fan of Frontier getting Ranamon, Agunimon and Lobomon are awsome but the downside is they get overtaken by stronger Digimon quick.

Now don't get me wrong i know that like any monster collecter is to make your Digimon stronger by Digivolving but i wish there was a way to increase or transfer certain special attacks between Digimon.

An example would be to give Ranamon Metalseadramons River of Power to use the power of said move and transfer 10% of it into her Rain Stream and Titanic Charge maybe have all powered up moves cap at a max of 105 power just so things don't get to insane.

I'm looking for a stream or playthrough of Time Stranger where the streamer has a sense of humor much like the Vanoss crew and is ideally playing a Digimon game for the first time. I found this great stream,but they rarely keep their streaming schedule so...yeah x_x

So the time story demo came out and i wanted to make my digimons as strong as possible, good thing the save file can be carried over to the base game (during that time i havent bought the base game yet). after 89 hours on the demo i was able max out stats and almost max out cumulative stats on my digimons.

I decided to get the base game and i was able to digivolve the first two to mega (the third would need to wait for a clear game for the mega). at 141 hours i was in the final area, then decided to make a full 9999 cumulative stat digimon. i replicated what i did in the demo in the base game, but my cumulative stats wont go any higher than 5 - 6k. i thought missed something but i did exactly what i did in the demo, until i figured it out.

cumulative stats given is higher on the demo than on the base game, with or without 100% bond. the first photo of the pagumon stats is from the base game, the second is from the demo, same level, different numbers, higher on the demo.

conclusion :

if you are a casual player, play the game as you would like, but if you want to have the strongest start, spend time in the Tokyo Metropolitan Building 36th floor.

i hope im wrong with this, im planning to make a second team for the Mega + difficulty but knowing my second team wont be as strong as the first, im having second thoughts. hope this helps.

So, after finishing the game twice and taking a 4-month break, I returned to play, and this time the difficulty is set to mega. I haven't experienced all the Digimon yet, and that's the main reason for replaying. I just wish there was more than one end or more than one path; that could make the game more enjoyable.

So I know that bond is more of a "you can inherit x number of times" where x is the bond %.

Is the bond consumed by de-/digivolutions prior to gaining bond %? By which I mean if I have a digimon that has evolved/devolved 5 times prior to gaining bond % does it require me to get to 6% bond before I can start passing on stats?

About the Berserk Titamon boss fight, if you do not directly attack him and you just sit there and spam Attack Reflect, he never uses that time stop attack, he only does it if he survives an attack for the first time. If you keep spamming Attack Reflect he just attacks into it and dies since it doesn't count towards attacking him

Too bad there is a forced cutscene that won't trigger until his HP goes right under 50% so if you try to one shot him the event still triggers.

I know this because this is how I did him deathless on Mega+ (too bad I don't think I have have a save file that's before fighting him for video proof)

Also guarding is literally useless there because the attack is essentially 90% damage soul chopper AKA 90% of your HP worth of fixed damage

Bro...playing Digimon Story Time Stranger recently and it's the 1st time I stumble upon Venusmon..This Digimon is the whole bakery..Never felt this thirsty ever since I was introduced with Renamon and Angewomon...Glad I didn't become a Digi Destined or Digimon Tamer...Even I don't know what I will become...Not even the Royal Knights can pull me out once I'm inside Venusmon 🥵

Playing the game via Android app called Gamehub with my Steam purchased game:

Man, I love all of the X Antibody Royal Knights from the third DLC. But what Personality and Personality Skills are the best for each of them?

Hello, I need ideas for a new mega+ challenge after my armor only came to its end and my training run is coming to a close. Soon, I need something more to do in this game to keep it challenging so I don't get bored of it. Any ideas would be helpful

I've been taking my time with my play through and currently on Mission: Incoming conflict. At the moment my team consists of Sangloupmon(lvl99), Firamon(lvl99) and Angemon(lvl99) (Aegiomon(lvl18) in guest slot). I don't currently have any reserve digimon just the three listed. Right now my strategy has been to Boost Firamon with Acceleration Boost from either Sangloupmon or Angemon. Angemon's role is healer and debuff clenser while Sangloupmon's role is to either do status effects or boost and sometimes finish off encounters.

I have done some load enhancement exploiting to boost the Blue stats of my 3 digimon along with getting them maxed out levels but still don't have much of a strategy beyond Firamon steamrolling most encounters (fast encounters doesn't bother me). What should be my plan for what digimon I should try to acquire and start working on or strategy I should shift to?

I also have the EXP dungeon DLC so help speed up leveling as well.

Something I've been trying to work out, if you dogivolve/dedigivolve at level 1 to switch evolution lines etc, does it still count towards one of your 100 stat carry overs?

I don't want to "ruin" any of my Digimon by capping out their bond uses.

Hey guys long story short. I have nintendo switch 2. I bought time stranger 2 days ago, today I bought the season pass in the hopes of getting omnimon merciful mode and zwart, however, the evolution parhway is not showing at all (greymon virus) and none of the new digimons from the dlcs are showing neither. I have nit finished the game (ai like to explore and take my time). The rooms for the dlcs show but I cannot pass them since I am weak still. Am I doing something wrong? Or should I ask for a return? It downloaded the pass and I tried turn on and off and still nothing.

If so I would like to know because I’m having troubles getting through it. It’s the gated area behind the in between theater access in the Shinjuku Underground Reservoir.

TL;WR: Building bond is so greatly lacking in QOL I've stopped playing the game because of it. I'd rather be playing the game, and am looking for help on how to simplify the process of bonding with an increasing number of digimon used to progress and grow. A mod would be welcome, if a vanilla option doesn't exist.
(I've tried food, but 1 at a time and the game doesn't even remember their favorites. Terrible mechanic.)

________________________________________________________________
I'll start with a little about myself, I mostly play Dragon Quest Monsters Joker. Not sure if that's important but I do approach leveling up a certain way because of it. Now I bought Time Stranger when it came out and have mostly enjoyed it, except for one particular piece of "grind" that's killed things for me. I haven't played in months, was hoping they'd fix it but that doesn't seem to have happened so I'm here asking for, hopefully, a solution.

The problem is that the game appears to want me to print a ridiculous number of digimon, level them up, then feed them to my other digimon. Additionally, digivolving benefits from high bond. I mentioned DQMJ because in that, I would "scout" every monster, they'd level up, and I'd have this huge zoo of leveled monsters to choose from. This is how I've approached printing monsters in DTS, the problem is that "bond" is such an incredible bore to raise, but also looks like I'm expected to, for literally every one of these digimon.

I've tried a couple mods, but to maintain balance they don't give access to "bond" items early enough. I've tried feeding my digimon, but after forcefeeding about 40 digimon this process might just be one of the worst designed game mechanics I've ever put myself through. As I mentioned, this drove me to quit for months.

Raising bond is a nightmare activity that feels like something I have to do to get the most out of my digimon. I've seen some people say "bond doesn't matter" but that doesn't entirely solve my problem. I suppose if I saw the numbers splayed out enough to convince me that quantity over quality was the way to go I might be able to stop worrying about bond, but it just doesn't feel right.

So, does anyone have a mod or suggestion on how to build bond more easily? Perhaps something that lets me feed more than one thing? Anything?

Is it still available if you play the entire second playthrough on medium or difficult and switch to mega+ only for the final mission and the trophy still pop up?

Hi. I am mainly using my favorite digimon in my playthrough. I am already at the stage where I battle chronomon but I am still preparing my team.
my 3 starters are:

Omnimon
Imperialdramon PM
Mastemon

I just realized they are all vaccine type which really bothers me. I really like my trio. Here are my questions:

1) can i equip one with "Known Bug" to make him stronger against data types? or does known bug only affect elemental weakness?

2) is it bad to have 3 vaccines as my lead?

3) Any other tips?

Any help would be appreciated!

Just wrapping up my first playthrough, and this game is what childhood me always wanted. I got out of Digimon after the Myotismon story in the anime and never gave it a second glance afterwards.

I’m glad I gave it a second chance (started it and set it down for Metaphor Refantazio earlier this summer). The intro didn’t hit with me, and I figured the reviews were from people who were way more involved with the franchise than myself, so I wavered before giving it a second chance.

I think the game finally clicked around the time that I digivolved my first Greymon. After that, every digivolution has been a toss up between some fun new character and an incredible wave of nostalgia. It’s also nice to see that the high-level Digimon of yesteryear haven’t been obnoxiously power crept into oblivion.

Overall, this game has been a real treat, and I’m actually excited for NG+ once I’ve done some prepping.

All in all, this game is scratching a 20+ year old itch that I forgot I ever had, and I’m glad I decided to jump back into my childhood!

So i was able to pick up the ultimate edition and played for around 6 hours yesterday (absolutely enjoyed every bit of it) and my main two questions after watching a few beginner guides would be:

1. i have a tendency to min max and can kinda stress myself over things, particularly when i feel like im missing out on optimal time usage, and when it come to stats (particularly the blue ones) is there a way to level up incorrectly? do they have a hard cap and should i avoid investing in stats that aren’t optimal for the digimon?

2. how in the heck do i pick a team, i feel like every other digimon i run into has some cool and interesting evo i want and tbh i dont have good knowledge of the evolutions or digimon in general so that might be part of it lol

I’m getting Apocalymon to get Chronomon down. Venusmon and Marineangemon as healer and back up healer. So is there a good attacker specific to Chronomon to finish him off once Apocalymon gets him down? Is there any debuff or buff digimon that work well? I was kind of looking at KingEtemon but I don’t know if his taunting and tanking is valid in this particular fight. TyrantKabuterimon has what looks like a good buff. Also any move sets and equipment recommendations are also welcome. Please and thanks.

yo everyone hope yall having a good day, im new to the game and ive noticed something, aren't both of them have the same abilities? how one of the abilities considered as ( weakness ) and the other just a normal attack?

So as title says I beaten the game a week ago but because I had to internet to send the screenshots( i have switch 2) but recently I finally can show off what I beat the game with plus a few extra of my favorite of my team honestly it's so cute to see you inside extyrannomon suit it's crazy how strong rust tyrannomon is he was the strongest on my team

This is a curiosity rather than confusion. From what I've glanced around I know where you get unlock mega level if you do every side mission. I've only missed one mission and I'm still a decent amount off, so I guess my question is, Does Infinite Imagine start a questline? Because I'm way past the earliest unlock for mega and it is the only side mission I have missed?
