Digimon Cyber Sleuth : The ULTIMATE EXP Guide! Early Game to End Game! 

@Dan Z Gladly. I plan to be playing it on release day so I can learn as much as I can to share with everyone.

I'd personally love to see what the specific gameplay is like for the new digivices, like color pendulum, the vital bracelet be, and the new Ken and Davis animation voice activation digivices. I'm confused on what to buy haha. But idk if you cover digivices 😅

@@magaroo4752 I can do some research into them, but no I don't own or cover those. Once all this starts to actually make some money I could invest in such things to cover more, but sadly at the moment that is difficult.

@@Rordrikhow do you beat Arcadiamon 2nd encounter

@@eduardoaguilar8032 I assume you are referring to the encounter with Arata at your side? If that is the fight it is a pain when he heals a lot off of your ally. Vaccine types with Penetrating moves can really help do the damage needed.

Oh no! Well hopefully this will help you get ahead and enjoy the rest this game has to offer. Don't let that memory get you stuck just keep pushing through and enjoy.

Me who's at chapter 16 🗿

That is a neat trick if you want to get your first one really early. 3 of them might be tough to fight with at first, though with Character Reversal at level 25 you could make it work. With them taking up 18 memory will have to wait a couple chapters to be able to bring along enough others to train.

The reloading can be tough, all depends on how lucky you are. I do feel a little bad for the Digimon whose while lives become making you items never to leave the farm again.

I know I only had 3 Megas total when I beat these games the first time. It isn't too hard to get a couple items and get plenty EXP. Or go all out and break it completely.

Heh, my first time beating CS I only got 3 megas before I learned these tricks. Transferring Digimon back and forth helped out a lot when I was working to fill up the Field Guide.

I certainly beat the game the first time without using any of these tricks so it can be done, but if you want to get many megas or ultras this will help a lot.

@@Rordrik definitely, and that is my goal too. Thanks once more making this 😉👍

You're welcome. I hope it helped you enjoy these wonderful games.

I am glad that it helped. I completed my Field Guide with 200 ABIs of all the DNA digivolvutions at least, so I get it. Not quite all level 99, but with these methods it isn't hard just takes a little time.

@@Rordrik grinding isn't an issue for me I have nothing but time lol

@@obsidianfrost9514 Get the right setup and the right areas and it won't take long. Get ABI up there will also raise your max level. All of the ones I train with can reach it well before 200 ABI.

In Hacker's Memory there is a side quest that ends with a fight with a PlatinumNumemon. It does have a chance to drop a Tactician USB, but not always. Otherwise it is all development and the one from Victory Ushida.

You only need a minimum of 2 Developer-Know-Hows to get a chance to get the Tactician USBs. So it is not too hard to get started. Just gotta get lucky and then everything gets much easier.

​@Rordrik mmm that explains why I could do it bee. Going g at it for 2 days reloading the game to get the tactician guess I'll give up for a while a d get more money to get more developers .. ( I'm barely at chapter 4 new game old save got blue lighted 😢)

I did this with 1 lvl farm then got it to lvl 2 , and 2 development knows it took me awhile maybe 4-5 days but I got 9-10 usb tech. I rocked chapter 3 end boss with high lvl digimon lvl 45! But I grinded Kowloon 1-2 for awhile even before getting usb tech! The grind is real

That is a high end area, I hadn't really tried farming there. I had always thought that was a point of no return, but you are right you can safely go there once it is open.

@@Rordrik how do I get back there once I’ve done it

@@GrimlockedAndLoaded To go back there you do the same thing as you did the first time to get there. Go to Roppongi Underground Lab (or talk to Wormon in the hospital to teleport there) and talk to Yu to go in.

@@Rordrik thank you

I don't have any numbers to confirm that, but it does feel harder to get the Tactician in the Complete Edition. They are incredibly strong, but I'm not sure the developers realized just how strong since they are in the 1,000 YEN tier and not 10,000.

That is a tough one to answer since getting the Tactician USBs are random to get. If you do not use the resetting method it will take nearly your entire playthrough. If you focus on it as soon as possible you could get it going after about 20 hours or so. Lower memory can also slow you down from getting too crazy too fast.

@@Rordrik Glad to say that I've farmed all the platnumes and USBs today. But may I ask he best place to farm? As of now I'm at chapter 8. Thanks

@@airo2329 It depends on which of the two games you are playing. In Cyber Sleuth the best place is in upper level of the Metroploitan Building and in Hacker's Memory it is Under Kowloon Lv 5. If you're looking at earlier game usually any new areas that open or main cases will have better than average XP gains.

@@Rordrik Thx for info, will try to enjoy the game :DD

If you are referring to timers like the Training and Development you are right, it is not true 1:1 time. If you leave the game freely running it will be. It seems that transitions (opening menus, entering battles, loading screens) pause the timer making it take longer than it would seem.

Typically I go for the PlatinumSukamon for early game grinding so I will usually start it from Keramon or Hagurumon depending on who I find. This will give you character reversal if you can reach level 35. If you can't on the first try then go to Vademon who will give you both Character Reversal and Nightmare III (I like to raise their INT through training to use it and cover their main weakness). If you need to go back down a quick stop at GoldNumemon for Revive isn't bad then you might have enough ABI to jump right to Platinum. Yeah the farm is an important part for getting free EXP and getting good items. It can make a big difference if you ignore it.

For the most part Hard Mode is just a real grind to be able to get through. It is especially tough early on because many of these tricks don't really work until you get going. A couple things to note that could help. Buffs stack up to five times and each time it refreshes the duration. Training up many Digimon so you can have teams of any 3 data types are good. As for getting to the point where you can get your first new recruits it may be best to flee from some battles when you can. The damage they do is high early on and you can't always get more healing items right away. I hope that helps.

@@Rordrik Half the time Flee for some stupid reason has Hagurumon do the basic Attack... I think since I posted that it kept me from getting to the eater Tutorial fight... 39 times.... I just got the body reconstructed and am now working on maxing a Botamon into Shine Greymon... Also healing Items... there needs to be more than 6 of those in the tutorial if you pick hard mode... I had 1 hp and had to make it last from the Eater fight up to the first entry into Mirei's DigiLab...

@@jakeforgey5378 I have had flee fail because of the percentage chance, but I have never had it attack instead that is weird. My first try at Hard I think I Game Overed 6-7 times trying to get to the Digi Lab. The beginning it quite brutal on Hard. Though you are now you are past the worst of it, now just all the grinding to be able to beat those bosses.

You are right, that is a place that many people use to farm XP, especially early on. I always found that if you're grinding enough to be strong even the final round can take a while to defeat you so I never used it much.

@@Rordrik I just use it to farm up Kuramon and Tsumemon, alongside the rest of the Mons you face... got a farm with the Seven Demon Lords in need of making... that and I use the exp to max my team of Hagurumon, 3 platinum sukamon with a few mons in back to slowly get them to max... I also tend to rush through to chapter 3 or 4... you (can if you look around) get (up to) +15 Memory by the Kowloon LVL 3 boss's defeat so that tends to be enough to get 4 champs typically... it also lets me slowly build up my healer to be able to reach Angewomon and sub out a PlatSuka for Angewomon... Edit: I also use it to farm the following starters and level them up to the needed digivolution stages. Ajax: Terriermon > Angewomon < Gargomon > SaintGargomon Violet: Poyomon > Sistermon Blanc Kuro: Botamon > GallantmonCM Neru: Kuramon > Titamon Seirra: Pabumon > Lilithmon Mei: Pabumon > Rosemon/Rosemon BM Bob: Poyomon > Plesiomon Phil: Botamon > Leopardmon LM Doc Who: Poyomon > MarineAngemon Orochimaru: Pabumon > Ouryumon Adam: Kuramon + Pabumon > Alphamon + Ouryumon > AlphamonOuryuken Vergil: Punimon + Pabumon > ExVeemon + Stingmon > Paildramon > Imperialdramon DM/FM Virgil: Punimon > UlforceVeedramon Zoe: Pabumon > Sakuyamon Smough: Botamon > Dorugamon Gwyn: Kuramon + Punimon > BlackWargreymon + MetalGarurumon (BLK) > Omnimon Zwart Irina: Punimon > Angewomon > Magnadramon Overall 8 Kuramon, 6 Poyomon, 3 Botamon, 5 Punimon, 6 Pabumon and my Hagurumon...

That would make sense that it might not be quite that much. Not sure why the formula would work that way, but 40 times does sound more accurate. Thank you for letting me know.

Early game getting a PlatinumSukamon on your team early will double your exp gains to help with that. Plus you can build up your farm to start getting your first Tactician USBs which will also help a lot. Though early game memory will be a limiting factor of how many megas you can afford to have around.

gracias! @@Rordrik

Yeah, those are the best end game places to get Exp, so they open up late. Mostly for filling out the field guide. If you get the Tactician USBs most anything can be enough experience to get you easily through the game.

Yes, only the Digimon that are in your party get to use their Support abilities such as their experience boost. It only calculates the XP at the end of the fight so if you wanted to you could fight with other Digimon and right before you deliver the final blow switch to all 3 of them.

@@Rordrikcould the 3 PlatNum’s be your starting line up and then you switch them to your actual battle mons? Like is the opposite true? Or do they HAVE to be there at the end of the fight

@@Michael-and-a-Guitar The Tactician USBs and the Support skills only work for your active Digimon. You could start with other Digimon if you like and then switch to the PlatinumNumemon for the final blow. Though the constant switching would take more time than I think it is worth, but feel free to try it out!

Yes a Digimon needs to take part in a battle for their support skill to work. Memory constraints will keep you from getting too many Ultimates for a while but keep pushing forward and it will get easier.

@@Rordrik THANKS :3 SO IS POSSIBLE TO START WITH 3 PLATINUM NUMEMON AND SWITCH FOR OTHER 3 TO STACK THE 6?

@@enmadaniaisabel1552 The three active Digimon are the only skills that work. So to start the battle you could use anyone, but the final blow you need the three exp boosting Digimon up front. You cannot get 6 times just from Digimon skills.

@@Rordrik OH THATS WHY OwO I GOT CONFUSED BECAUSE I THINK I GOT EXTRA EXP FROM SISTERMON AND SUKAMON BUT BOT SURE HOW MANY (RIGHT KNOW I HAVE 2 SISTERMON AND 2 SUKAMON) THANKS YOURE THE BEST :3

I believe I have gotten one pair with 2 Developer-Know-Hows, but that is only once in over 8 playthroughs of these games. Though early in the game it can feel great to get some, the Memory Cap certainly makes it harder to get too crazy with your team early on. Once you have 5 Developer-Know-Hows you will probably have enough Memory that you can fully use them and get stronger. The easiest is with 5 for sure.

@@Rordrik Ty soo much got 10 with just the basic start up! Restarting was a bear!! But soo rewarding after I was able to do the end bosses on chp1-3 with ease once I stated to get the hang of it!

I answered this on another video, but I'll reply here too in case other people need it. When you gain Memory Ups they are just items in your inventory that you need to go in and use to gain the extra memory.

These games are not available on mobile, but the Complete Edition can be found on Steam on PC.

Indeed he does. Thank you for pointing that out.

I assume you mean the Abyss Server in the post game of HM? It is a fine place that could possibly be used for some grinding as well, but I never found it consistently as good as other areas. The real challenges and exp would be from bosses not as much the fodder. If it works out well for you, let me know.

I assume you're talking about using 2 PlatinumNumemon and any other Digimon with 3 slots so you still have 9 Tactician USBs? I have done this sometimes in the past. If they aren't high level and trained up this can be helpful, but usually I have found it is not needed especially with Character Reversal to help deal with Vaccine types. It is slightly faster in battle, but losing that extra multiplier makes each battle worth less. Go with whatever feels better to you.

@@Rordrik its realy slower Overtime? i thought because you 1 Shot the entire Party you are faster Overall because more Battle + i thought If you Grind for abi Points and wanna Grind some specific mons (Like example a Marineangemon With all Support skills that you wanna have fast Battles because you Go often evolve and digivolve :o) but good to know thats still slower

@@gsnamine3958 I have tried both and not noticed a big difference. It is all quite efficient. I have not fully timed and tested it, it is all by feel.

@@Rordrik thanks alot For you advice and the answers Wish a nice day!

I do not own the Switch version, but yes I hear it is quite easy to set it up and leave it idle overnight to get great exp gains. Other consoles you could still do it, just not as easy.

So long as those two goods available are Developer-Know-Hows that should be the minimum required to get the Tactician USBs. Your chances won't be as good as with all five, but should be possible.

@@Rordrik does digimon rank make difference for farming?. Are 10 megas in farm have faster/better quality product than 10 babies in farm?

@@Red-nw2yn I have no proof that it does improve it for sure, but it certainly feels that the higher the stage of a Digimon the better the results. It could just be coinciding with getting more Developer-Know-Hows later in the game.

@@Rordrik Finally got 4 tactician usb. My lv2 farm have 8 babies stage 1. 1 rookie. 1 champ. (all builders personality) And 2 who know goods. 1st and 2nd usb takes around 15 reset. Meanwhile 3rd and 4th usb takes 30 minutes. I only need 3 usb for 3 plat numemon right?, right???. Edit : nvm, i rewatch the video. Need 5 more usb

@@Red-nw2yn Yeah I feel like you got a bit lucky getting the first set so quick, but the second set balanced it out. Good to know I was right that 2 Develop-Know-Hows is enough. And yes I see you that you need 3 per PlatinumNumemon so 9 in total or 5 successful developments.

They are developed in the farm at the !,000 YEN development order. For optimal find rate you must have 5 Developer Know Hows on the farm. To make it quicker to research them you can make all of the Digimon on that island Builder personality. If RNG isn't on your side you can always save and reload to change what you get.

@@Rordrik ahhh i got it, thanks for info

Get PlatinumSukamon early in the game. Throughout the game build up your farms to do 1000 Yen developments for Tactician USBs. Get 3 PlatinumNumemon to put those USBs on and destroy your foes.

Well hard mode is always a challenge even getting some increased XP if you want it. Though I get it, I was able to beat the game my first time without using any of this but I only got 3 megas by then end. I'm a collector at heart, so I like getting them all.

Sure mostly involves Billionaire USBs and PrinceMamemons, but I can go more in depth.

@@Rordrik thank you

@@Daniel-dm6df You can also use the GoldNumemons until you get the PrinceMamemons same passive just I think the PrinceMamemon has a stronger version if I'm not mistaken.

If you are asking about how to get her it takes a Tokomon with 50 CAM to get (gained by being in battles and feeding meat in the farm typically). Though she is only available in the Complete Edition or original Hacker's Memory.

I committed on the one other video you did on making exp farm video . Then i found this one

@@lightxsmile Welcome back. I hope you found them both useful.

Not all strategies or Digimon games are for everyone. If this doesn't strike your fancy there are always many others you can try out that play very differently.

he’s just uploading it so guys like me who don’t know if it’s outdated or not can be reassured
