How to Raise Partner's Level
| 1 | ▼Use the Hologram Device |
|---|---|
| 2 | ▼Sell Unwanted Gear and Plugins |
| 3 | ▼Level Up by Gaining EXP |
1. Use the Hologram Device
First, use a Hologram Ticket to activate the Hologram Device. Each ticket rewards either a piece of Equipment or a Plugin. To use the device more efficiently, we recommend enabling the Auto function and configuring its settings.
Hologram Device GuideHologram Device's Functions
| Auto | - Unlocked when you attempt Stage 11 - Automatically uses tickets to activate the device |
|---|---|
| Settings | - Available from the start of the game - Allows you to specify the rarity to keep or sell - Automatically sells items below the specified rarity - Allows you to specify the number of tickets to use per activation - Gain Equipment/Plugins equal to the number of tickets specified - Allows you to specify which stats to keep or sell - Useful for min-maxing advanced stats |
2. Sell Unwanted Gear and Plugins
Sell any unwanted equipment and Plugins. Selling them grants a certain amount of Partner EXP. Since the only options are to equip or sell them, it's generally safe to sell everything except the highest-rarity items you obtain.
Higher Rarity Yields More EXP
The higher the rarity of the equipment and Plugins you sell, the more Partner EXP you earn. To level up your Partner efficiently, upgrade the Hologram Device to increase the drop rate of high-rarity items.
3. Level Up by Gaining EXP
When your accumulated EXP reaches the required amount, your Partner levels up. Level up your Partner consistently from the start of the game to meet the level requirements needed for Digivolution.
How to Digivolve Your Partner
Reach the Required Level to Digivolve
Once your Partner reaches the required level, tap the Digivolve button to evolve them. Digivolution only requires your Partner to meet the level requirement, and no additional materials or resources are needed.
Levels Required to Digivolve
| In-Training II | Rookie | Champion | Ultimate | Mega |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lv.5 | Lv.20 | Lv.40 | Lv.65 | Lv.90 |
Choose Type During Digivolution
When Digivolving from In-Training II to Rookie, you must choose one of three types: Attack, Defense, or SP. Your chosen type determines your active skill effects and the passive skills your Partner learns.
Best Battle Type| Tip! | You can switch types at any time, but each switch costs 500 DigiEmeralds. |
|---|
Choose Type Based on Your Goal
| To Increase ATK | To Increase DEF (Survivability) |
|---|---|
| Attack or SP (Skill) | Defense or SP (Recovery) |
Choose a Champion Branch
When Digivolving from Rookie to Champion, you must choose one more sub-type based on the type selected during Rookie Digivolution. Your chosen branch determines the effects of Passive Skills 3-5.
| Tip! | The branch you choose during Champion Digivolution also determines the passive skills your Partner learns at the Ultimate and Mega stages. |
|---|

Stats Increase Upon Digivolution
When a Partner Digivolves, both their basic and advanced stats increase, significantly boosting their power. Digivolution also grants possession bonuses, so Digivolve your Partner as soon as they reach the required level.
How to Increase Battle Power| Tip! | The stats gained upon Digivolution are the same for all Partners, regardless of their type or Digivolution stage. |

Each Digivolution enhances your Partner's active skills, increasing the damage they deal. Once your first Partner reaches the Mega stage, its active skill power becomes the standard for all subsequent Partners.
| Tip! | The effect of the "...for 5 seconds" skill varies depending on the type you choose. |
|---|
Learn New Passive Skills
Each Digivolution unlocks a new passive skill, up to a maximum of five. Once your first Partner reaches the Mega stage, all five passive skills are permanently unlocked, and subsequent Partners will have all five passive skills active from the In-Training I stage.
| Tip! | The type-based passive skills are shared by all Partners and cannot be customized for individual Partners. |

Unlocks a Second Partner and Beyond
Raise your first Partner to Lv. 99 and the Mega stage to unlock additional Partners. Each new Partner costs 500 DigiEmeralds to obtain.
