Walkthrough & Progression Roadmap
Digimon UP is an idle auto-battler — "progression" means pushing stages, which automatically unlock every system. This is the fastest efficient path from day 1 to endgame. Data from GameWith.
The one goal
Reach Stage 160 (~280–290K Power) within 2–3 days. That single milestone unlocks nearly every feature in the game (everything except Crests). Then chase Power to push further.
Day 1 — First Steps
Reroll (optional but worth it)
On the SP Support banner, aim for Aegiochusmon (SP Ver.) — see the reroll guide. Starting with an EX+ Support builds a strong team fast.
Pick any partner
All 15 partners are mechanically identical — pick your favourite. You can't unlock a 2nd partner until your first hits Lv.99 / Mega, so commit.
Grab 1,000 free Hologram Tickets
Claim the campaign/Presents rewards — Hologram Tickets are your core early power source.
Unlock the Hologram Device (Stage 11)
Turn on its Auto function and spend tickets for Equipment & Plugins. Sell what you don't use for Tamer & Partner EXP.
Level the Hologram Device
Lv2 costs 12,000 Bits; Lv4 costs 48,000 Bits and adds SSR-rarity gear. Roll the Skill Card & Support gachas too.
