Bosses in the opening hours

The early main-mission bosses come thick and fast — the ones to prepare a counter for include Kuwagamon, Raremon, Cyclonemon, Vademon, Greymon (Blue), and an underground gauntlet of Fugamon, Ogremon and Hyogamon. Most of the opening threats are Virus-attribute, so a Vaccine partner has the edge — one more reason to weigh your starter choice.

Keep these up to date as you go

  • Check evolution requirements before you over-level — the Evolution Guide shows every route.
  • Match a Personality to the stats you actually want to raise on each partner.
  • Aim your team at the top of the tier list, and set up DNA fusions for a big power spike.
