Meta is SP Type

Type	PvE	PvP
SP Type Recovery	- Increase Survivability - Great HP Recovery Rate - Easy Stage Clears	- Best with AoE Skill Card - Best with Stun/Evade Card

SP: Recovery Type is currently the strongest Digimon Type due to its consistent HP Recovery, which greatly improves survivability across all stages and PvP content. When paired with powerful Skill Cards such as DMG Increase, AoE, Evade, Stun and Decrease Cooldown, SP Type can consistently defeat even the toughest bosses.

Other Types

Attack Type

Type	PvE	PvP
Attack Type CRIT	- Decent in Stage Clears - Must Have Good Skill Cards (e.g. AoE, DEF, CD)	- Falls behind due to lack of Recovery

Attack: Critical Type excels at clearing stages when paired with strong Skill Cards and high-tier equipment. However, its lack of sustain makes it less forgiving, causing your Partner to struggle in longer battles. If you choose Attack Type, focus on maximizing your damage output to defeat enemies before running into survivability issues.

Tap for Passive Skill

Attack: Critical Type Passive

Passive Skill	Effect
	Attack Speed 0.200
	Normal Attack Damage 10.000%
	Critical Rate 10.000%
	Critical Damage 10.000%
	When landing a critical hit, Support Damage UP 15.000% for 6 seconds

*Passive Skill value shown above is based on SP Recovery Lv. 3.

Defense Type Not Recommended

Type	PvE	PvP
Defense Type Stun/Counter	- Usable, but Outclassed - Slow Progression	- Not Recommended

Defense Type is currently the weakest of the three Battle Types. While it offers survivability, its lack of HP recovery and lower damage output makes progression noticeably slower. If you choose Defense Type, equip high-damage Skill Cards to compensate for its lower offensive potential.

Tap for Passive Skill

Defense: Counter Type Passive

Passive Skill	Effect
	DEF Bonus 20.000%
	Damage DOWN 10.000%
	Counterattack Rate 10.000%
