TyrannomonTyrannomon

Why the top picks

Agumon tops the list because its buff is a passive (increased counterattack rate) with no cooldown, so it stays active as long as Agumon is deployed. Active-skill Buddies like Triceramon & Andromon hit harder per proc but have an 8s cooldown for only 5s uptime, leaving your Partner unbuffed between casts.

Why the top picks

WarGreymon (SP Ver.) is the standout, a passive that launches an attack on all enemies whenever your Partner lands a critical hit with normal attacks. No cooldown, scales with your crit rate. Pegasusmon (A) is the best active alternative, buffing Combo damage for 5s.

Why the top picks

Equip the highest-rarity Support you own (tap Auto Select). EX+ units like Durandamon (normal-attack damage + top base stats), HeavyLeomon (crit rate), Hydramon (HP recovery), HiAndromon (skill crit) and Skadimon (stun) lead thanks to raw stats and unique effects you can't easily get from gear.

Why the top picks

Omni Blade deals the highest damage of any Skill Card and adds +15% Crit Rate. King Device, Digital Calm (with Health Regen), Surprise Attack From the Inside! (8s stun) and We Have to Stop Fighting! (5s Damage Null) round out S-tier. Meta rule: prioritize AoE damage over single-target.

Meta Guide & Best Build

Battle Type
Go SP → Recovery — currently the strongest type. Passives give +10% HP Recovery Rate & +10% HP Recovery, and heal 7% of Max HP per Partner skill use. Switching type costs 500 DigiEmeralds.
Buddy
Equip Agumon (Tai Kamiya Ver.) for the permanent, no-cooldown counterattack buff.
SP Support
Slot WarGreymon (SP Ver.) — passive AoE on every crit. F2P: the free Flamedramon (Base Lv.10) works well too.
Core Skill Cards
Baptism by Fire (32% AoE), Ice Wall (64% + DoT), Accelerator (99% + atk speed), Secret Ninja Technique Tome (160% + evasion), Bandage of Love (HP regen).
Stat Priority
CRIT Rate & HP Recovery first; Attack Speed & Evasion secondary.
Equipment
Upgrade your Hologram Device before mass-spending Hologram Tickets — higher-level devices roll better gear.
