This guide will attempt to group digimon into tiers based on their overall stats and use the field testing method I have layed out which was inspired by reading LordKarusaman's Gundam musou 3 guide on pilot stats and gundam tiers. This is my first faq and I'm putting a solid amount of time into this. I hope to enjoy the digimon experience even more by learning the strength and weakness's of digimon in more detail, and I hope that you, the reader, will also enjoy reading this faq. We all wondered which digimon are the strongest and the what not, I hope this will fulfill your willingness to find out. =============================================================================================================== Version History(2.0) -Officially started writing guide on 2/25/2013 -Fixed weird errors 4/02/2013 -Fixed errors for good 4/04/13 =============================================================================================================== Legal matters(3.0) Copyright 2013 By Dr.Newtype This guide cannot be reproduced or sold for buisness purposes.

I would go to FAQ's and boards and I would find that no one really took a legitimate shot at truly distinguishing tiers in Digimon World Dawn/Dusk. Even if people did assign tiers they weren't done in a very convincing matter. The following question have to be answered when analyzing digimon in this game: - What makes this digimon so unique compared to other digimon? - How can we distinguish the tiers in digimon, is there a legitimate way to do it? - Is there a way to test the strength and weakness's of digimon that can convince us to beleive that tiers exist in this game? - Is there a way to create competitive digimon gaming without cheapness being a factor? All these question will be answered in the guide. The goal is to field test, revolve and settle the tiers of digimon. ================================================================================================================ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Field tesing breakdown(5.0) So this is how it's gonna work... In digimon you can constantly degenerate and digivolve digimon. As a result digimon's aptitude will increase as well as it's overall stats. This is called sliding. However, unfortunately...you can continute to do this until eventually all the digimon's stats are 999. By this way what happens? You will get digimon that will OHKO virtually every digimon in the game, when you play your friends it will be the same. Suppose if you have a digimon with all 999 stats and so does your friend, whoever goes first wins. There's no point in playing the game competitvely when you can OHKO just about anything. You might as well as play divekick. So for the tiers I'm breaking down a reasonable and realistic approach to identifying what tier what digimon belongs in. The digimon tiers are only meant for Mega level digimon as well as super ultimate. What you will notice is I will write next to the Overall tier and I might categorize a digimon as super ultimate. The case will be that it may not be considered a super ultimate in the cannon series but it's strength is so well distinguished from the other Mega level digimon that I called it "Super Ultimate". An S+ tier mega is S+, but when you have a digimon that has strength considerably stronger than other S+ tier digimon it should have a different title. A digimon that will be ranked S+++ or higher will be considered a Super Ultimate level digimon. This is how the stat tiers will work: Base Stat tier ============================================= : S+= 2400+ : : : : : : : : S= 2150-2400 : : : : : : : : A= 1950-2150 : : : : : : : : B= 1750-1950 : : : : : : : : : : C= 1500-1750 : : : : : : : : D= 1450 and below : ============================================= Individual Stat tier ============================================ : : : : : : : : : S+=650+ : : : : : : : : S= 550-600 : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : A= 500-550 : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : B= 450-500 : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : C= 400-450 : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : D= 350-400 : ============================================= These are the standards set for the field testing: -The Mega level digimon must have used as little sliding as possible to reach its form. Ex: I have a MagnaAngemon level 15 with an aptitude for level 80. He digivolves to Seraphimon at level 66. You must digivolve at level 66 and cannot go above. Unless it couldn't be helped. -Stat requirements must be met at the minimum. Ex: For MagnaAngemon to digivolve to SLAngemon, you need to have 250 attack. The number should not be any more than 50. You may not have MagnaAngemon with 301 attack and digivolve it to SLAngemon. -Upon reaching its Mega form you must max out UP TO THAT PARTICULAR APPTITUDE ONLY. You are not allowed to slide any more unless neccesary for DNA digivoltuion or reaching another mega form. - DNA digivolved digimon must meet target aptitude ASAP. Ex: I have a MMilleniummon level 88(max apt). For it to become ZeedMilleniummon I need Gigadramon to also become level 88. The minimum level required for ZeedMilleniummon is 77. But since I have MMilleniemmon at level 88 already I need to get Gigadramon to level 88. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SLIDE BOTH DIGIMONS APTITUDE ABOVE 88. In most cases I will have to rework the digimon process for DNA digivolution. -When sliding a Mega digimon to increase its aptitude for DNA digivolution. YOU MAY NOT MAX OUT THE MEGA DIGIMONS LEVEL FIRST AND THEN SLIDE IT. It must meet the required level for degeneration. Ex: I have a level 80 Seraphimon. I already have a maxed out level 85 Gallantmon and I want a GallantmonCM. I must degenerate in order to increase its aptitude to level 85. I cannot first level Seraphimon to level 80 then degenerate it to MagnaAngemon at level 80. When degeneration is available at level 34. -And finally...this is the layout for field testing. The digimon must go alone to transfield and fight all the way through it and then fight the Gaia of Origin. Sounds rather...difficult? Yes of course. But this is the only way to truly test the strength of digimon and see what there capable of. This is the layout for the tiers: Digimon name Base stat Tier, its level, # of fields it survived -If the digimon beats the members of the Gaia of origin I will state the numbers that it beat. -The following stats are used to calculate the base stats: Attack,Defense,Spirit,Speed. -Equipping items is 100% prohibited in field testing. -Only MP maybe recovered not health. It's to see how far a digimon can push themselves with their combat abilties. -I will perform an indepth analysis of high level digimon, and digimon who might posess considerable potential. -Please note that the digimon I call "Super Ultimate" may not necessarily be Super Ultimate in the actual series. -The only case where health is recoverable is a move that can both deal damage and heal. Damage and heal combined indicate combat potential in battle so it is acceptable. =================================================================================================================

"Unknown" Interesting right? Only God Almighty knows how many times I fought the Gaia of Origin. You will notice the +/- sign, this indicates how much more stat points it can legally have for competitive means. Conventionally no digimon should exceed 130+ the base stat, or go below anything -130 the base stat. Meaning for Chronomon HM the highest his base stat should hit is 3130 and shouldn't exceed that, and it should not go below 2870. I will now present the competiton tiers. Competion tiers consist of the following: -Ubers(U) -Over Used(OU) -Under Used(UU) ================================================================================================================= Competition tiers(6.1) Ubers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chronomon HM Argomon MG ZeedMilleniummon MoonMilleniummon Imperialdramon PM Gallantmon CM Armageddonmon Beelzemon BM Duftmon Malomyotsimon Argomon UT Alphamon Pharoahmon HerculesKabuterimon Shinegreymon BM Susanoomon Omnimon Over Used ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apocalymon Eaglemon Lilithmon Chaosmon Minervamon Imperialdramon FM Cherubimon(Vaccine) Cherubimon(Virus) ChaosGallantmon Milleniummon Beelzemon Sleipmon Valdurmon VNMyotsimon Neptunmon Seraphimon Ophanimon ShineGreymon RM Banchouleomon Ravemon BM Rosemon BM Gulfmon Gallantmon Miragegaogamon BM Piedmon Devitamamon Imperialdramon DB Lotusmon Under Used ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Valkyriemon Ebemon DSgreymon DSmiragegaogamon Holydramon Blackwargreymon Rosemon Wargreymon Metalgarurumon Daemon/Creepymon Sakuyamon Kuzuhamon Justimon Phoenixmon Vikemon Dorugoramon Dianamon Jijimon Babamon Cannondramon Grankuwagamon Skullmammothmon Diaboromon Hiandromon Machinedramon Saberleomon Anubismon Puppetmon Metalseadramon Princemamemon Imperialdramon DM Goldramon Gigaseadramon Parasimon Precismon Kingchessmon Queenchessmon Darkdramon Apollomon Gryphomon Ghoulmon GhoulmonB Marineangemon SLangemon Megagargomon BSgargomon Boltmon Zanbamon Pukumon Jumbogamemon Ravemon Lampmon Megidramon Metaletemon Shinegreymon Miragegaogamon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tier breakdown(6.2) Here's a take on what the individual tiers actually mean: D class: The digimon nobody cares about really. Maybe your friend will take a liking to WarGreymon only cuz he remembers him from the original series which he hasn't watched in many years. They have many weakness's and don't have much potential in matters of combat. They crumble quick, in some cases immediately. These digimon are meant for UU competition...not OU and Ubers. But note that there are good digimon in this tier like Anubismon but the reason they're there is because their primary role is support through healing. C class: These guys unlike the previous class have some potential. Especially guys like Lampmon who can use their special tech to put digimon to sleep. The digimon in this tier have base stats that indicate they have some potential but they weren't able to hold out transfield because they lacked tankiness. These digimon should be able to fend off A class digimon but will need support doing it. Majority of them belong in UU tier and can have some potential in OU. B class: Alright...remember Yu Yu Hakusho? You guys remember how tough Toguro was and we were totally frightend by him at maximum power? Yea I remember that. Then I find out, according to Koenma he was only a B+ tier demon. What does this have to do with digimon? Well at this point the digimon are scary. They aren't run on the mill digimon and they have made it out of the 2nd transfield, well the majority. They will have some kind of trait that will make them especially annoying to deal with. Like Sakuyamons Dodge Dance which makes it hard to hit her. These are the class of digimon you might have to do some prepping for, especially if paired with S class sweepers. A class: This is when things get real. These are the digimon we have come to know and love, Gallantmon, ImperialdramonDB, and Banchouleomon. The digimon in this tier have few weakness's in some cases none. It has some dangerous sweeping digimon as well as balanced and overall solid digimon. These digimon belong mainly in OU. No digimon in this tier is to be overlooked. S class: Welcome to Mega heights. Where the strongest digimon rein supreme... or do they? At this point your playing with the big boys and the top 20 or so strongest digimon in the game. No weakness's, no fear, and no threats. These digimon are the Demi Lords of the digital world in Dawn/Dusk. And not much can put up a front against them. But these are just the Demi Lords...what about the Lords of the digital world? Well let me give you an idea of how strong S tier digimon are. 1 S class digimon can fight off at least 250-300 digimon. That's a small battalion of champion, ultimate and Mega class digimon. But what about 2? If they are to fight together they can probably take down 2000+ digimon. The digimon I am talking about are from transfield and this is presumed with MP heals to test their full combat abilities. It's probably way more than 2000 digimon. These are the main threats in OU and you WILL prepare yourself to fight them in competitive play. S+ class: These are among the top 16 strongest digimon in the game. Consisting of legendary digimon that EVERYONE has heard of at some point. I never watched the series to see ImperialdramonFM but I was always aware of his existence through the media somehow. Finally the gaia of origin now gets a challenge. The guys are able to hack and slash through 2 or 3 members of the gaia of origin. Alone..they can fight some where around 500-1000 digimon consisiting of mainly ultimate and mega class digimon from transfield. If paired up with another S+ class digimon they can take down around 10,000-30,000 transfield digimon. Remeber that when I make these estimates there are 3 things to take into account. That the digimon has unlimited MP heals(not Hp), and their defense and spirit stats. The MP heals are present to take the digimons combat abilties to the max and see how long they can survive. These digimon belong in Ubers with no questions asked except with the possiblity of Apocalymon and a few others going to OU. S++ class: These are THE strongest Megas in the game. They are between Mega and Super Ultimate class of digimon. The digimon of this calibur have earned the right to be called the Lords of the digital world. As there strength makes them look nearly imposibble to take down. They can take down 1000-3000 digimon in transfield alone, and maybe abit more. They take down between 4-6 members of the gaia of origin with no legitimate difficulties. But don't worry...these guys are in Ubers. So unless your taking them on in Ubers you can stay happy go lucky in OU and worry about digimon like beelzemon. S+++ clas: This is the level that belongs to the legends of the digital world as well as Lords of all digimon. I had no other way to explain the strength of this class other than to call them Super Ultimate. If these digion are to take on an army of transfield digimon I estimate they would take down atleast...120,000 digimon before nearing death. This is the case of ZeedMilleniummon who has around 775 speed and can outspeed digimon twice in transfield. These digimon have no true weakness and have outstanding movepools since most of them are DNA digivolutions. S++++ class: This class only belongs to digimon that not only clear transfield taking no damage, but also soundly defeat all members of gaia of origin. This was a theoretical tier and I wasn't sure if anyone was gonna make it this far. Well somebody did make it, Chronomon HM, who is an actual Super Ultimate class digimon. However the power of this class of digimon is so high that I can't really categorize them into a class so I list them as unknown. This digimon has earned the right to be called "Ruler of the digital world". Distinguishing between true potential and maximum(6.3) I know some of you have doubts about these tiers so some things must be cleared up. The reason some of the tiers are so grandiose and seem exaggerated is because the tiers are based on MAXIMUM potential not TRUE potential. Maximum potential tiers are based on the strength, and combat abilities of digimon based on their HP and stats. What skeptics would feel is refilling MP may appear unrealistic and in a way it is. Skeptics seek out what's called true potential. True potential is when a digimon is left to survive off of whatever is available in the real time which is a more realistic approach. But here's the problem...by the time a 3000 MP digimon makes it to the 3rd field they've lost all their MP. If I have a Miragegaogamon BM and he still has 80% of his health...doesn't that indicate greater potential? And unfortunately there is no struggle in this game like Pokemon. The digimon is stuck at B+ tier despite having the potenial to go much farther. In this case much of the cast would stop around B tier and would not proceed any further. In any case, testing a digimons maximum potential would give us a better idea of what the digimon can do compared to limiting a digimon which is only suitable in competitive play. ================================================================================================================= Indepth Analysis(7.0) In this section I will discuss the strong points of the digimon that are B+ or higher. What must be understood that even though certain digimon might have a base stat level that indicates they might be A+ tier potential, they can turn out to be S tier, some times even higher. These are the reasons: -Movepools -Traits -Tank type Movepools are incredibly important. For those of you who play competitive Pokemon...you understand how important movepools are. You will be required to fight various pokemon and it's critical that you be prepared to take on tanky threats like Tyrannitar, and sweepers like Garchomp. In similitudes, a digimon must have a big enough movepool to fight tanky threats like Eaglemon and Cherubimon. That or the digimon should be tanky by itself. Next is traits...in Pokemon we also have traits. Some of them turn what would be an ok Pokemon to Lordlike Pokemon. In digimon though, instead of having 1 trait, you have 4. The following are the best traits to have: -All Elements -StatusBarrier -Economizer -Healthy Body The digimon is given traits upon reaching it's new form and there is nothing you can do to give it any alternative traits like in Pokemon. It stays as is. Any resistance based trait is also very good. The last and equally important reason for digimon performance is its type. If you look at the stats of your digimon below personality you will read type. There a bunch of types a digimon can be, but the most potent one being tank type. Devitamamon had excellent performance compared to the rest of its base stat peers. It turned out to be a tank type with a wonderous 697 or so defense....So without further a do, here is the indepth analysis. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusmon(7.1) Tier: B+ Base stat: 1725 Traits: -Heroic Move -Dark Veil -Thundertatoo -Mind's Eye Analysis: Though this digimon has an attractive appearance, it is quite frightening. Pollen spray will ensure the demise of your digimon unless your prepared for it. The rest of the moveset consists of electric, dark, and earth. It is good enough to put rock solid digimon under pressure. If your opponent finds a way to get around pollen spray this digimon won't have much use. This digimon makes for solid support in OU and amazing support in UU tier. However, it can'r be relied on for sweeping since it has a mediocre moveset. The only real use the moveset will see is with pollen spray, as it is the core for the successful execution with Lotusmon. Piedmon(7.2) Tier: A- Base Stat: 1750 Traits: -Dark Veil -Dodge Dance -Assassin -HighCollector Analysis: When I looked at this digimon I was like...meh he doesn't look special. Turned out I couldn't be more wrong. In the cannon series he is considered to be among the superior level of Mega class digimon. And it turned out to be just that. I was SO excited to see how far this digimon would make it into Transfield and hoped if he was an S class digimon. With moves like 01 crusher, D.Mag.Square, and its technique, Trump Sword, not much was about to stop this digimon. 01 crusher is one of the best moves in the game. If Piedmon is able to stun or confuse its foes, it can safely lower all your mons attributes with DMag.Square. Sounds especially scary in competitive play right? Yup no doubt. In fact this digimon can probably ball S class digimon. A digimon to always be careful of, because if you let your guard down for a second you can find yourself in a rut fast... DotshineGreymon(7.3) Tier: B+ Base Stat: 1750 Traits: -Heroic Power -All Elemts -Economizer S -StatusBarrier Analysis: Such a pathetic looking digimon. Yet still fearsome. He has 3 of the best traits in the game and maintains a decent typing. His moveset is rather mediocre as it consists of metal and fire alone. Atleast each of the moves pack a solid punch. In OU DSgreymon wouldn't see much use as he would be outclassed by more bulky sweepers. But he would pose a threat in UU as B class digimon are dominant in that tier. Devitamamon(7.4) Tier: A+ Base Stat: 1775 Traits: -Heroic Guard -Dark Veil -PoisonBarrier -DeathBarrier Analysis: It is said that the core Devitamamon contains all the evil of the digital world. Well I bear witness to that. I mean...sheesh this guy can even compete with Armageddonmon in his tankiness. And Armageddonmon is a Super Ultimate class digimon. Though its move pool may not look that great at first cuz it's mainly dark attribute, demon claw+tank= death through stalling. Did I do that in the field testing? Of course. I recall clearly when I was fighting 2 or 3 Rosemon that had me paralyized for about 10-15 turns total. Tanked all that and relied on poison for damage. By the time I made it into the last field I still had around 75% health. Died fighting the first wave of the Gaia of Origin, not without a fight of course. Indeed fear his evil...for he can even scare the Lords of the digital world with his absurd tankiness and stalling tactics. It will take mainly S or higher class digimon to take down this beast. As for the A class digimon better be protected by their S class brothers in the heat of battle. ImperialdramonDB(7.5) Tier: A Base Stat:1800 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Guard -Mind's Eye -Assassin Analysis: How can anyone forget this memorable digimon? As kids we loved the different forms of Veemon and the different forms of Imperialdramon. All of which we realized had considerable strength. In the game this digimon has certainly earned my respect. His movepool is quite phenomenal.Burst breath is a great fire move. It also inherits a very useful move called wild TD claw. He can even play support role in competitive games with blazing power. Not much to be said here other than this digimon being an overall solid OU tier digimon. Eaglemon(7.6) Tier: A Base Stat: 1890 Traits: -Heroic Guard -Heroic Heart -All Elements -StunBarrier Analysis: This was one of the first digimon who's stats I calculated. I didn't test him until 90 or so hours later. The digimons performance was excellent. It had no struggles until the 4th transfield. All elements is about a good a trait as it gets, and with a high spirit stat you can expect this digimon to tank through alot of hits. It has a pretty solid move pool which consist of thunder, air, and light. Dark elements are still a threat though...other than that it doesn't have any weakness's. Ophanimon(7.7) Tier: B+ Base Stat: 1950 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Nimbus -Economizer S -HealingWave Analysis: The leader of all female angel digimon. Since it's an angel digimon and of holy element you can guess what role it would play in battle right? It plays support. Hence why it didn't score so high in the tier. She's not alone though, Anubismon is another digimon who didn't score high because it is support. Support roles won't be high in tiers because they're digimon that aren't meant to sweep or tank, but that doesn't mean they lost their usefulness. In competitive play Ophanimon will guarntee giving headaches because of her healing abilties. So pair this digimon with 2 sweepers and your opponent will be in a scare. Don't expect this digimon to take too much on its own though...it has good attacks but its sweeping abilities are weak due to a small movepool. This digimon will help the digimon of the Lord Almighty by heralding spiritual healing on His servants. MiragegaogamonBM(7.8) Tier: A+ Base Stat: 1950 Traits: -Heroic Move -Mind's Eye -Dodge Dance -Economizer S Analysis: Much like the other OU sweeper digimon. This digimon has a solid movepool consisting of amazing moves like flash punch and shining ray. He is not limited in the use of his movepool and can cover a solid amount of weakness's. Dodge dance acts as a plus to his decent trait spread. You can call this digimon the scizor of digimon because of his solid typing and sweeping abilities. Pharoahmon(7.9) Tier: S+ Base Stat: 1950 Traits: -All Elements -Mind's Eye -Miser -DeathBarrier Analysis: Where do I start with this guy? I'll start by saying I was completely MIND BLOWN. I would never suspect that Pharoahmon would have what is arguably the best special tech in the game. It's because of his special tech alone that he was able to make it so far otherwise he would be a B+ class or an A class digimon. This digimon is arguably the best digimon in the game. His tech Mummy gas hits 3 zones and scores for draining the enemy digimons life energy... meaning that if he attack 3 digimon each next to each other he can recover all his health even if he's about to die. This digimon made me question wheather I should allow healing in battle or not for combat reasons. What I mean to say of course is healing using abilities that digimon like Ophanimon and Angewomon posess.But I felt that would cause an imbalance in the tiers since combat ability is not being tested instead support ability is being tested. But only with the exception of digimon that use combat ability move like drain whip and mummy gas are permitted in fights due to combat potential. Do you understand what this means? Given infinite MP healing to test combat abilities, this digimon can never die in transfield. This is the only digimon in the game that can't die in transfield pretty much no matter what. Even though it didn't ODV gaia of origin, I still consider this digimon a high class digimon because of its extremely unique typing. Play this digimon for yourself...I mean why not? After all he is one of the top 16 strongest digimon in dawn/dusk. Gulfmon(7.10) Tier: A Base Stat: 1975 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dark Veil -Assasin -Gladiator Analysis: In the series, Gulfmon is suppose to be a high class mega digimon. He is also a high class digimon in this game. This is one of those digimon that you hoped would score really high on the tiers. When I first worked on him I calculated his base stat to be 2250 however this was incorrect. I trained him right and his power reading was around 1975. He has 2 frightening moves to him, demon claw and his special tech dead scream. Demon claw is a superb move and can take out super tanky digimon as long as they don't have statusbarrier. On the down side he also has gladiator which results in him taking more damage. He has a rather mediocre movepool with demon claw and dead scream being the only real useful moves. He can still be a threat though and can give pains to both A and S class digimon alike. RosemonBM(7.11) Tier: A Base Stat: 1975 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Dodge Dance -Lucky Gods -Skill Master Analysis: Rosemon(normal) had poor performance and ranked bottom tier. When I looked at this digimon I thought to myself, "Maybe it has potential...or maybe not". I wasn't really sure. Looking at its base stat indicated that it had lower A tier potential. As soon as I started playing her I knew she was gonna be atleast B or upper B tier. She's very attractive, but don't be seduced by her lovely appearance. This digimon inflicts status ailments like no tomorrow. From watching her play I realzied in competitive play she's gonna need to get restriction on the use of charite. It would be very easy to put digimon to sleep and then pick them off one by one. She made it through all 4 fields with 47 or so percent health. She then got sweeped by the first wave of Gaia of Origin. Not a digimon to pushover, if this game sees revival anytime soon, expect Rosemon to give problems with her status ailments unless your prepped. Gallantmon(7.12) Tier: A Base Stat: 2000 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Heroic Power -Ex Damage4 -ConfuBarrier Analysis: I remember the series that Gallantmon appeared in. I never really watched that series too much but I always thought Guilmon was adorable and Gallantmon was AWESOME. And he's still awesome in this game. Gallantmon has a respectable base stat of 2000, he also has a good movepool which consists of light, metal, and fire. In field testing I didn't have any issues in any of the fields. But I still knew Gallantmon wasn't gonna beat the first wave of Gaia of Origin. This digimon is a standard for OU competition tier. Not much else to be said. Neptunmon(7.13) Tier: A+ Base stat: 2025 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Mist Coat -Healthy Body -Mind's Eye Analysis: First time I saw him was in Digimon Xros wars. He is the first of the Death Generals that team Xros heart has to face. In this game he is just as fearsome as he is in the series. Healthy body is a weaker version of statusbarrier, nonetheless still a good trait to have. Gigaton hydro is his scariest and most threatening move as it does solid damage to not just one but double to multiple digimons. Sadly that's the only real scary move but it's a threat for support digimon. Seraphimon(7.14) Tier: B+ Base Stat: 2025 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Nimbus -All Elements -Healing Wave Analysis: This digimon is technically A class. It's just that he didn't perform up to par at transfield. He plays a mixed role with support and offensive roles and is balanced between both. Well...his support is better thanks to the trait healing wave. His offensive role can fluctuate because the only prominent moves are of light elements. But what he lacks in offense is made up in his support and defense. This digimon can be played in both OU and Ubers due to his support and I would expect to see him much in OU managing support roles. RavemonBM(7.15) Tier: A Base stat: 2050 Traits: -Heroic Move -Silphy air -Dodge Dance -Assassin Analysis: Ravemon(normal) has nothing special other than his looks. Blast mode and burst mode digimon are always stronger, and the strength is usually considerable. Ravemon BM is no exception to that and this time he has a very dangerous move at his disposal called 01 crusher, the best non special tech a dark digimon can have. To add to his tech of horrors he can also learn laser blade, shine slash, and glory thunder. His special tech is an air type that can hit two times. With a very diverse movepool that covers virtually every weakness he can quickly become a threat supported with attack boost moves like blaze power. Every digimon will be afraid of this digimon in OU as he is one of the best sweepers in OU. Banchouleomon(7.16) Tier: A Base Stat: 2050 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Critical 4 -Gladiator -StatusBarrier Analysis: This digimon has some disadvantages and he isn't as good as he looks. He has a shallow movepool that consists mainly of earth elements. Even if he does have moves that are of non earth element, they're not very strong. The good news is his offense is still considerable and he has flash punch, a very respectable earth element move. I don't see much use of Banchouleomon in OU unfortunately as he is outclassed by digimon like Ravemon BM and Shinegreymon RM. In some tourneys it would be understandable if they shot him down to UU. Omnimon(7.17) Tier: S++ Base stat: 2050 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Move -Dodge Dance -Assassin Analysis: Whenever I look at this digimon fond memories comeback when I first saw this digimon in Digimon Rumble Arena. He made his first emotional appearance in the movie Digimon bokura no war game. I was practically in tears when I saw him in the movie cuz of how he came to be, watch the movie yourself to find out. In the game he still holds tightly to his legend as a legendary digimon. His combat abilties are most unusual. He lacks considerable tankiness, if you are to take him through transfield going back and forth constantly through each of the fields he would at most kill 100 digimon. Yet he is strong enough to plow through the first wave of the gaia of origin. Dodge dance makes it hard to hit him and can be especially useful in Omnimon's case because of how much damage he can deal in a short amount of time. Omnimon would see plenty of use in OU as he is such a memorable digimon, as well as a very powerful sweeper. Cherubimon(vaccine)(7.18) Tier: A+ Base Stat: 2075 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Heroic Move -Mind's Eye -Critical 4 Analysis: I can respect Cherubimon as a digimon. It didn't have any major issues in transfield, but I can see issues coming up in competition. Cherubimon might have strong moves but the movepool is not diverse. Fatal hand is a very effective move against dark type digimon, but it doesn't beat amazing moves like 01 crusher which can not only potentially stun you but also paralyze. The only real use I can see of Cherubimon vaccine is to act as an anti meta threat in OU. But it can't be heavily relied on to carry your small team of digimon. Herculeskabuterimon(7.19) Tier: S+ Base Stat: 2075 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Guard -Thundertatoo -ParalBarrier Analysis: As far as I know this digimon doesn't actually appear in any of the movies or anime series. This digimon made one of his first appearances in Digimon World which was originally released on the Playstation. I got the game back when I was 7 or 8 years old...didn't complete it till I was 16 in 2008. Anyways this digimon is strangely tanky. He had 6014 HP when I raised him and an amazing 614 defense and offense. This was how I raised him: By the time I got Kabuterimon and Kuwagamon I simply degenerated and digivolved between them and their rookies forms until I reached level 64 or whatever the required level was. This is the approach I take to level most DNA digivolution digimon as it is the most effective way to complete stat requirements. I only took 43 or so damage when going through transfield. Ok...so if we calculate and estimate how many digimon HKabuterimon can plow through it is estimated to be around 2500 digimon. That's more than twice the number an S+ class digimon on average is able to fight off. His movepool is actually quite mediocre. Burst counter is only good for digimon that take alot of damage and TD claw being the best move he has as it can paralyze quite often. His Special tech is nothing to be too fond of. In competitive play HK can be used as an amazing tank but his usefulness will be short lived as most the digimon in Ubers have statusbarrier. ShinegreymonRM(7.20) Tier: A+ Base stat: 2075 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dark Veil -Antidote 4 -StunBarrier Analysis: What I love about each mode that shinegreymon has is their incredible movepools. Shinegreymon(normal) has the following moves: shine slash, rising ray, cyclone claw. Ruin mode further advances to learn destroycannon and chaos blast. His special tech, torrid weiss is his best advancement. This digimon competes with RavemonBM, though I still feel RavemonBM is stronger cuz of 01 crusher. In OU this digimon, easily, ranks as one of the best sweepers. Valdurmon(7.21) Tier: S Base Stat: 2075 Traits: -Heroic Move -Nimbus -Silphy Air -Economizer S Analysis: This digimon, as far as I know did not appear in any of the anime series. He looks alot like Ho-oh and certainly has the strength of a legendary digimon. His special tech aurora angelR is one of the best light element moves in the game. His movepool is solid consisting of light, air, and thunder elements. So with an offense of 550+ combined with a good movepool, we can see digimon being crushed by brute force and succumbing quickly. When I played with him through transfield I hadn't felt this good bout a digimon in a while, but looking back I think I got over excited. Though his movepool maybe good, it's still weak in comparision to Ravemon BM and shinegreymon RM who have outstanding movepools. Still a digimon to be feared, it's not a digimon that anybody would hold back against. Sleipmon(7.22) Tier: A Base Stat: 2100 Traits: -Heroic Heart -All elements -Assassin -Economizer S Analysis: Another solid digimon. He has strong moves but his movepool isn't diverse which is a setback. He also has the best anti meta move in the game, bifrost. Bifrost is amazing for 2 reason: It hits 3 times and lowers water resist. So the Sleipmon and Neptunmon duo can cause serious damage together and run mayhem through OU. Also it has the all elements trait which turns it into a tanky sweeper. I visualize Sleipmon being able to outplay Gallantmon, wanna know the funny thing? They're both from the royal knights. VNMyotsimon(7.23) Tier: A+ Base Stat: 2100 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dark Veil -Assassin -Ex Damage4 Analysis: I enjoyed playing VNMyotsimon. He is first introduced in the first season of Digimon. He is the first mega class digimon to emerge, and is quite powerful. In Dawn/Dusk his special tech VN infuse is considerably powerful, essentially it's 01 crusher with alittle more power. He falls right in the meta play with a blaze of powerful moves, those being demon claw and VN Infuse. 01 crusher is obsolete because of VN infuse, it's wise to replace it with black coat or Dmag.Square. But like most meta digimon he must be careful of Sleipmon, Shinegreymon RM, Valdurmon, and Gallantmon. Beelzemon(7.24) Tier: S Base Stat: 2100 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dar Veil -Sniper 4 -Critical 4 Analysis: A classic digimon stemming from the 3rd season. He always struck me as an awesome digimon especially after seeing him in the opening of digimon world 3. Too bad I never completed that game... or atleast not yet. Beelzemon isn't too special, much of what he has is very meta game. Demon claw, demon blast, gattling bomb, pyramid power are the moves to have. But isn't this build strikingly similar to every other high level dark digimon we see? It is very. The only thing that makes him different is Crtical 4 which can be very good. Otherwise not much else. Milleniummon(7.25) Tier: A- Base Stat: 2100 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dark Veil -Critical 4 -Ex Damage4 Analysis: Milleniummon has been around for a while. You see a glimpse of him in digimon season 2, he's been in other digimon games too. The only time you see him in the anime/manga series is in the manga for digimon xros wars. Machinedramon was such a dissapointment scoring at D tier. I had hope for Milleniummon and my hopes were fulfilled. He is worthy of being called a good digimon 550+ base attack combined with a good movepool consisting of: dark, fire, earth, and metal elements. Though he is outclassed by other digimon in OU doesn't mean he doesn't have potential to still become a strong sweeper in OU. Lilithmon(7.26) Tier: S Base Stat: 2125 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Dodge dance -Assassin -ConfuBarrier Analysis: One of the seven great demon lords. She's very attractive but of all the female digimon in the game she is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest. Even S class digimon have trouble with her when facing her at the 4th field. Her dodge rate is one of the scariest things to her other than her powerful attacks. Unfortunately her movepool is all dark so she would have trouble against Apocalymon. But she has every move necessary to take out almost every kind of digimon with the exception of digimon that have statusbarrier. If I were somebody facing this digimon in battle ubers or not, I will still be scared of her. ChaosGallantmon(7.27) Tier: A Base Stat: 2125 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dark Veil -Gladioator -PoisBarrier Analysis: This digimon doesn't exist within the media. But he is a creative design isn't he? ChaosGallantmon is considerably more powerful when compared to the other dark mega class digimon, especially in OU. Strong enough that he has the trait gladiator to weaken him. One of the most fearsome traits he has is poisbarrier, this will ensure he can tank the damage he will receive from S class dark digimon. His movepool is decent containing moves like shine slash, 01 crusher and if you get gallantmon at 100% scan, you might be able to get royal slash on CGallantmon, but he might become too powerful is where the doubt sets in. A digimon to tread carefully in OU. Cherubimon(Virus)(7.28) Tier: A+ Base Stat: 2150 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Move -Sniper 4 -Assassin Analysis: Surprisingly strong with a decent movepool to follow. I shoulda said this before, but after the 2100 base stat no digimon goes below A tier. Cherubimon can play a mean meta game with moves like Glory thunder, and Demon slash. His special tech is nothing to be jolly about, it only hits one zone and has 146 effect. It tanks decently, well better than Omnimon. I would say this digimon falls...right at the middle or the heart of OU. Its movepool doesn't make it too special, but not bad either. Minervamon(7.29) Tier: S Base Stat: 2175 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Move -Gaia Brave -Dadge Dance Analysis: WOW. They added plenty of fan service with her in Digimon Xros wars. People who don't know what fan service is just ask your anime buddies. She has a good movepool consisting of: metal, light, and earth elements. Her defense rocks a solid 600, meaining she can probably be played in ubers. She doesn't have much to be afraid of, her weak attribute is fire but who's about to stand up to her in OU other than Dotshinegreymon and ImperialdramonDB? As a result she stands at the top of OU due to her lack of weakness's. Chaosmon(7.30) Tier: A+ Base Stat: 2175 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Heroic Move -Assassin -Gladiator Analysis: Back in the day I would look at this digimon and wonder how strong is he? Is he some kind of legendary digimon? In a way he is a legendary digimon because he technically shouldn't have existed and has considerable strength. Let me clear something up because I know people are going to say this. There are multiple ways to digivolve certain digimon, through DNA or standard methods. Chaosmon is no exception, in fact, he has a total of 3 digivolution routes. The one involving Banchouleomon and Valdurmon would obviously be much stronger and I would have to put him in ubers. So what I'm doing is I will put him in restriction of Darkdramon+Banchouleomon only, as it would cause imbalance to tiers, atleast that's how I feel. He has a good movepool made up of light, dark, thunder, and air. But the downside is none of the moves do considerable damage. His 590 strength makes up for that, as he can also inflict paralysis. Don't underestimate his power just because his movepool is lacking in strength. Apocalymon(7.31) Tier: S+ Base Stat: 2250 Traits: -All Elements -Economizer S -Skill Master -StausBarrier Analysis: He's the final boss of Digimon season 1. It's debated wheather or not he's a super ultimate class digimon in the actual series. Just very recently I finished watching Digimon Season 1, I would say that he's a very high class of mega digimon. Around S tier or upper A tier, but not super ultimate. In this game he's extremely fearsome and very tanky. His attack isn't much, but his defense and spirit make up for it. Spirit scaling at 550+ and defense around 515+, not to mention he has all elements which makes him into an absurd tank. I see this digimon wreaking havoc in OU, as his special tech has a very high percentage to cause confusion. Other than that his movepool is nothing fantastic. Anybody with this digimon on their team has competitioon cut out for them. Shinegreymon BM(7.32) Tier: S++ Base Stat: 2250 Traits: -Heroic Power -Nimbus -Flame Aura -Gladiator Analysis: He is first introduced in the movie burst mode activate. His strength is truly exceptional. He is easily one of the strongest digimon in the game in terms of sheer strength. His movepool is also one of the best in ubers. He doesn't have a dark type move but his special tech, corona sword will take care of light element digimon with ease. He lacks tankiness because of gladiator, if he didn't have gladiator he would likely be an S+++ class digimon. He can probably give Chronomon HM a scare as well. His awesome look is backed up by his incredible strength. Imperialdramon FM(7.33) Tier: S+ Base Stat: 2250 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Guard -Mind's Eye -Economizer S Analysis: How can't this digimon be a legend by just his appearance? Every person who has seen digimon seasons 1 and 2 are familiar with his appearance. His strength pales in comparison to Omnimon in the anime but he's still known for his amazing power. In Dawn/Dusk his strength is great and and few can compete with him. But of course there are digimon that can compete with his strength. His movepool consists of fire and metal elements. In terms of attack power this is imperiadramons strongest form. Alphamon(7.34) Tier: S+ Base Stat: 2350 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Move -Deathward4 -Lucky Gods Analysis: He appears in the digivolution x movie. He is the strongest of the royal knights. I was talking to my friend, I had shown my buddy an in progress version of my tier guide. He told me the tiers were not cannon as Alphamon should be much higher in the list and VNmyotsimon should be much lower. At the time I had not correctly done the digivolution training and the mons were underpowered. His power at the time measured to be 1950, turned out he was actually 2350. His special tech digitalize of the soul isn't too special, his movepool isn't that great either because it's mainly light element and not much of anything else. His pro is his overall solid stats and tankiness, he has fatal hand which is an excellent meta move to turn the game around as it is damaging and slows your opponent. When I corrected the stats not only was he S+ tier, but he is the 12th strongest digimon in this game. My friend told me he should atleast be top 20, this game is surprisingly cannon. Argomon UT(7.35) Tier: S Base Stat: 2375 Traits: -Psychic4 -DarkBreath4 -Ex Damage3 Analysis: Ugh...see this is what you call wasted talent. He is an ultimate class digimon but his power rivals those of top class mega that's why he's here. Given his awesome stats, but what are you suppose to do when his movepool is the worst movepool of all mega class digimon? One word. GRIND. And you have to do it hard. It took me about an hour and a half to finally get through transfield and to die fighting the origin. I don't even wanna talk about him, his movepool is too weak to actually do something with. He can easily be outstalled through poison. He is suppose to be S+++...but due to his pathetic movepool I shot him down to S. I don't see him being played in any meta, maybe in UU or OU. Susanoomon(7.36) Tier: S++ Base Stat: 2400 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Guard -Gladiator -StatusBarrier Analysis: Is one of the few Super Ultimate class digimon in the actual series. He appears in Digimon Frontier and Digimon Xros wars. In the game he can be considered a Super Ultimate even though he didn't quite make the requirements. He has an amazing movepool consisting of light, earth, fire and electric. He covers a huge chunk of ubers and has no weakness's. Gladiator prevents him from becoming excessively powerful but having statusbarrier he has virtually nothing to fear other than digimon with stronger brute force. Malomyotsimon(7.37) Tier: S++ Base Stat: 2400 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Dark Veil -Economizer S -Healthy Body Analysis: He is the final boss of digimon season 2. His power greatly excels many Dark digimon because he is capable of having a movepool that is made up of fire, electric, dark, and air. Among the dark digimon his attack is only surpassed by Zeedmilleniummon and Armageddonmon. Weather people choose to use Mmyotsimon or ZDmilleniummon is up to them. But I can see people prefering the use of ZDmilleniummon over Mmyotsimon because of his superior stats and more diverse movepool. Moonmilleniummon(7.38) Tier: S++ Base Stat: 2400 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Guard -Dark Veil -StatusBarrier Analysis: I tried to understand how moonmileniummon is involved in the series and it's pretty confusing. Either way, this is another debated super ultimate class digimon. But I feel he is not super ultimate in the series but instead strongest among megas. Originally he tested at a ridiculous 3452, I knew that was wrong at heart. It sure as heck was. He strength was still considerable at 2400+, I felt that very few would get past his strength. His movepool is mediocre, volcanonapalm isn't very good for ubers. The only moves that are of use are Forlorn fang, crazy ice blast, and his special tech. Moonmilleniummon is outclassed by stronger digimon in ubers, but he can still be of some use because of statusbarrier and dark veil. Beelzemon BM(7.39) Tier: S++ Base Stat: 2500 Traits: -Heroic Power -Dark Veil -Mind's Eye -Assassin Analysis: The 7th strongest digimon in the game. With Beelzemon having a strong 2100 base stat I knew this digimon would have considerable strength. Beelzemon BM has some less preferable traits compared to Beelzemon but still packs a punch. He is esentially the same as Beelzemon, only difference is traits being slightly different and now he has beast whack. Beast whack is a good move for a dark digimon to learn but only slightly boosts Beelzemon BM's movepool. Trouble would brew against digimon like Armageddonmon who has an amazing movepool. Beelzemon BM is still capable of finding space in competitive play due to his solid strength. Duftmon(7.40) Tier: S+++ Base Stat: 2525 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Heroic Move -Healthy Body -Assassin Analysis: He's among the royal knights. His move pool is strong having laser blade, beast whack, gash breeze, royal slash, and leopard mode...he is very deadly in ubers. His base attack is around 600, royal slash+600 attack stat= death, or ND. Even holy digimon in ubers will fear and revere Duftmon because of his movepool. Duftmon has every right be in the royal knights as his power as at the peak in the digital world and in Dawn/Dusk. He is the 6th Lord of Dawn/Dusk. Gallantmon CM(7.41) Tier: S+++ Base Stat: 2525 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Heart -Gladiator -StatusBarrier Analysis: One of the 6 Lords of Digimon Dawn/Dusk. He is one of the 6 "Super Ultimate" class digimon in the game. He ranks at 5th, despite having a movepool of all light elements except burst counter, he is truly one of the most fearsome digimon in the game. Light element digimon in ubers are meta, so even though Armageddonmon might be stronger Gallantmon CM can still move fast enough to kill Armageddonmon. Burst counter can work well to protect support types like Seraphimon. Gallantmon CM has the gladiator trait but it's a good thing it's there otherwise he would be too tanky. His spirit nears an astonishing 700, with defense being 550+. I don't see this digimon having trouble with anyone in ubers. Imperialdramon PM(7.42) Tier: S+++ Base Stat: 2550 Traits: -Heroic Power -Nimbus -Mind's Eye -Economizer S Analysis: One of the 6 Lords of Digimon Dawn/Dusk. He is one of the 6 "Super Ultimate" class digimon in the game. He ranks 4th and wanna know what makes him especially fearsome? His trait nimbus. This digimon is the mewtwo of digimon, and once you see Imperialdramon PM you won't ever forget him. I don't even have to explain why he would be an uber threat to dark digimon, but you will want to know why he's a super threat to light element digimon. Nimbus gives him special resistance against light digimon. Meaning he can defeat threatening digimon like Gallantmon CM with effort. He can also learn royal slash...the strongest move a light element a digimon can learn. 650+ attack ensures brutual damage output against dark digimon. All his stats are 600+, now understand why he's not uber but super uber? Armageddonmon(7.43) Tier: S+++ Base Stat: 2725 Traits: -Heroic Power -Heroic Guard -All Elements -StatusBarrier Analysis: One of the 6 Lords of Digimon Dawn/Dusk. He is one of the 6 "Super Ultimate" class digimon in the game. He's an actual super ultimate class digimon in the series. He makes his appearance in revenge of Diaboromon movie, the same movie Imperialdramon PM makes a short, but powerful and memorable appearance. He is the 2nd Lord of the Dawn/Dusk. He can probably take out 3 monster teams in OU, maybe even 6 monster teams. See his traits? He has almost no weakness...well conventionally he doesn't. There sure as heck are digimon in ubers that can woop Armageddonmon. However...he isn't the second strongest digimon in the game for nothing. He has the strongest 01 cursher in the game, his HP nears 7000, and MP at 4000+. Though ubers would be ruled by holy element digimon, Armageddonmon can still input the bitter effect of super uber power. Zeedmilleniummon(7.44) Tier: S+++ Base Stat: 2775 Traits: -Heroic Power -Mind's Eye -Assassin -StatusBarrier Analysis: One of the 6 Lords of Digimon Dawn/Dusk. He is one of the 6 "Super Ultimate" class digimon in the game. In the series he is debated a super ultimate...at this point considering he's gone through 3 digivolutions Milleniummon, Moonmilleniummon, and finally Zeedmilleniummon he is worthy of being called super ultimate. He is the 3rd Lord of the game. He's suppose to be the digimon of the legendary tamer Ryo Akiyama who is considered to be the greatest digimon tamer of all time. His strength is remarkable hitting 680+ attack and 690+ spirit. His movepool doesn't look like it would pit ubers, but his attack stat helps to boost his mediocre movepool. To top it off he has assassin which increases critical hit rate so it turns a digimon with a mediocre movepool to a super power. Though outclassed by Armageddonmon's attack stat, ZDmilleniummon has a superior overall stat distribution. Argomon MG(7.45) Tier: S++ Base Stat: 2900 Traits: -Heroic Heart -Dark Veil -Gladiator -SleepBarrier Analysis: He's very strong but not what he appears to be. He has a 930+ defense but the trait gladiator holds him back from becoming an invincible tank. He can also be outstalled through poison taking 500 damage each time he ends a turn. His movepool isn't that strong, with his only strong move being his special tech, mystic cannon. Something must be understoods, it only recently hit me but the trait assassin stacks with both ally and foe alike. Meaning someone like Omnimon will hit more crits fighting against Beelzemon BM who also has assassin. Both digimon will land more crits but with the expense they will also get hit by crits more. So Argomon's tankiness would becoming useless in the face of someone like Omnimon. Argomon is far outclassed in ubers by digimon with overall superior strength and even more so movepools. Chronomon HM(7.46) Tier: S++++ Base Stat: 3000 Traits: -All Elements -Economizer S -Status Barrier -Mind's Eye Analysis: Well...I wouldn't be surprised if you guys just scrolled down to check what I wrote for this guy and then exit right? Hahaha im sure some of you would do that. Anyway, Chronomon HM has strength that far exceeds any digimon in the game. He is the only digimon that has each individual stat exceeding S++, he is the only S++++ digimon in the game, he was the only digimon that got through transfield without taking so much as a point of damage, he was the only digimon that defeated gaia of origin soundly(everybody else died or near deathed), he's the only digimon that beat both Darkdramon and Anubismon and ranked S+ on the S class field testing. So many points that indicate his super strength. This is going to be a downer for you guys but this digimon should be perma banned. Yes im sorry for saying that but he's just too strong. Im not talking banned as in he should only be played in ubers, by banned I mean he can't be used in competitive play AT ALL. He literally has no weakness's. None whatsoever. I conducted how many digimon he can take down in transfield before defeating gaia of origin, I estimated he can take down around 250,000 digimon traveling back and forth between the 4 fields. Being banned in competitively play is something im sure you guys can understand with so many points taken. Nonetheless, this game did a wonderful job at distinguishing the strength of each digimon especially the high level digimon. A hats off to Bandai. *Takes off phedora and bows* ==================================================================================================================== Extra Field testing(8.0) This section is for S class and higher digimon. And ohhhhh maaannnn is this something. So we thought the Gaia of Origin was tough? Wait until you fight these guys. For those who have completed the game and also the legendary tamer quest, I am aware that you understand how strong these digimon. Once you beat the gaia of origin you may proceed to fight the following digimon: Dawn -Darkdramon -Anubismon -ImperialdramonFM Dusk -Saberleomon -Argomon UT -Armageddonmon -Credits to Omega Zephyr for the info. For those who DON'T KNOW how strong these 6 digimon are well let me compare them to gaia of origin... they make the gaia of origin look like tooti frooti's that use wooden swords for weapons and the most they can hurt is a pesky bee. They can very easily decimate the strongest digimon in the game. I'm going to break the tiers down, it's the same format as the gaia of origin field test except I will list the digimon and the names of those beaten. Here are the guidelines: -No equipment -No HP OR MP healing -They must be fought consecutively -You may run away from wild digimon because it's a waste using MP on them -This is only for Dawn -Fights one round each field -May fight up to 2 digimon only Pharoahmon 1950 D lv73,(0/3) Omnimon 2050 B+ lv79,(1/3) Defeated Darkdramon HerculesKabuterimon 2075 D lv66,(0/3) Valdurmon 2075 D lv71,(0/3) Beelzemon 2100 D lv68,(0/3) Lilithmon 2125 D lv80,(0/3) Minervamon 2175 D lv74,(0/3) Apocalymon 2250 C- lv99,(0/3) Shinegreymon BM 2250 C lv78,(0/3) Imperiadramon FM 2250 D lv80,(0/3) Alphamon 2350 C lv85,(0/3) Susanoomon 2400 A lv86,(0/3) Moonmilleniummon 2425 D+ lv88,(0/3) Malomyotsimon 2475 B+ lv74,(0/3) Beelzemon BM 2500 A lv75,(1/3) Defeated Darkdramon Duftmon 2525 A+ lv88,(1/3) Defeated Darkdramon Gallantmon CM 2525 A+ lv88,(0/3) Imperialdramon PM 2550 A+ lv89,(1/3) Defeated Darkdramon Armageddonmon 2725 A+ lv89,(1/3) Defeated Darkdramon Zeedmilleniummon 2775 A lv95,(0/3) Argomon MG 2900 B- lv80,(1/3) Defeated Darkdramon Chronomon HM 3000 S+ lv99,(2/3) Beat both Darkdramon and Anubismon Those who felt the tiers were too grandiose I field tested and created a seperate tier for S class digimon. The tiers are based on true potential and I see these tiers being the tiers for Ubers anyways. I didn't include Argomon UT because playing him is tedious. Please understand...the digimon in their respective fields are unrealistically powerful. You can't inflict any kind of status on them, their critical hit ratios are absurd, their evasion is quite frustrating to deal with, and their tankiness can compete with Argomon MG. Circle of Power(8.1) Circle of power is just a fancy term for the top 20 strongest digimon in the game, it's as follows: 1. Chronomon HM 2. Armageddonmon 3. Zeedmilleniummon 4. Imperialdramon PM 5. Gallantmon CM 6. Duftmon 7. Beelzemon BM 8. Susanoomon 9. Malomyotsimon 10.Omnimon 11.Argomon MG 12.Shinegreymon BM 13.Alphamon 14.Apocalymon 15.Moonmilleniummon 16.Pharoahmon 17.Imperialdramon FM 18.Minervamon 19.Lilithmon 20.Valdurmon ==================================================================================================================== Balancing Competitive play(9.0) This section is about restrictions that have to be placed to make competitive play balanced.
