List of Contents
| The SS tier has the best Digimon that can all carry an entire team by themselves. These Digimon have amazing Signature Skills and can help you mow through the game if built properly. | |
| Digimon in the S tier are Digimon that have amazing Damage or Support capabilities, have amazing consistency, and are easy to build and function with minimal difficulty. | |
| A Tier is for Digimon that are tech options that can fill up a slot in their team, but can pull their own weight. These Digimon are usually used as flexible members to make any team workable. | |
| B Tier consists of mostly Damage Dealers that need teams to be built specifically around them to shine. They're great, just needs some effort on your end to make them the best. | |
| C Tier consists of Damage Dealers that have the ability to clear, but the lack of diversity in their Signature Skills hold them back from reaching higher tiers. |
Digimon with Signature Attacks that can Deal Damage on top of giving buffs, debuffs, Status Ailments, or healing are the qualities we look for when placing these Digimon in their Respective Tiers.
Digimon that can work with multiple team compositions are placed higher on the list. Naturally, Supports and Healers will be more prevalent as these Digimon are needed for higher difficulties.
Due to the availability of Load Enhancements and the DLC Outer Dungeons, even an In-Training Digimon will be able to clear the game.
But you can only do so much with buffing, Cross Arts, and healing items before you face up back to back against the entirety of Olympos XII.
