How to not get stuck

  • Train before every boss. Bosses check raw stats — the Chapter 1 desert boss alone wants roughly 10,000 HP and 1,000 STR. Grind training and battles until your partners meet the bar.
  • Recruit constantly. Befriending field Digimon raises Floatia's prosperity, which unlocks shops, training and healing — see the Recruitment Guide.
  • Plan your digivolutions. Aim your stat training at a specific target form using the Digivolution Guide, and keep care mistakes low.
  • Manage lifespan. Partners age and eventually pass on, reincarnating as eggs with a bit more potential — it's part of the loop, not a game over.
