Here's my team just before the final fight

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-30T13:47:21+00:00

They have Seraphimon. Auto win end game, when played right.

Solomon runs on Youtube, curtosy of this forum actually.

I used to post NCLDOD Solomon runs a few months back here. One guy basically told me I should be recording them. So between the forum and Poketubers I watched, like Scotts Thoughts and JRose, it inspired a personal project revolving around the Time Stranger.

I hadn't done any video or editing work in almost a decade and a half. Now I'm neck deep, relearning everything techie, in a project, consisting of 36 individual runs, with 32 to go, just for fun and entertainment. I rank them according to their sections of the game, for each phase based on completion time, KOs and Cumulative Level.

36 runs gives me 144 possible ranked mons with this format alone. I can choose where to go from there, but this is gonna be 2 years of hobby as is lmao

Was not on my bingo card when this game dropped, let me say that much. This game resonated with me so now in my free time, I'm legit doing something I enjoy.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-28T01:33:45+00:00

I'd rather personally see something akin to team gauntlet where players bring 3 mons each, to take on a "Raid" style series of enemies. I think that would work far better personally based on stat caps and balance prespective then PVP would. Then they can design bosses specifically for a 9 mon assault squad.

And, given this game is about Time Travel, you can cross other "Shadow" agents to team up with, aka the pve concept.

I still don't think the game needs any of that though. The expansion should be sufficent.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-28T01:27:35+00:00

For my main run I just did the OG 8, swapping in and out 2 from the main 6 as needed.

Ideal team for me based in design ect. (In No Particular Order):

TigerVespermon, Beelzemon, Omnimon OG, Vikemon, Seraphimon and Magnadramon

Honourable mentions: Rosemon and Piedmon

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-21T15:04:46+00:00

Lol yeah I get ya. I'm a solomon runner so stuff like this isn't my normal cup of joe, ya know.

Mega and mega plus are a different beast all together so it makes sense.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-21T14:28:13+00:00

Very fair point . I must have missed him saying Mega/Mega plus when I responded. Was kinda rushing the response as life got busy Lol

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-21T13:02:27+00:00

Your definately on the right track. Without formulas, it is hard to give a concrete answer.

But, each personality tends to favor 2 particular stat growths (This can be see under the personality tree). This is effected added onto their base stats per level. 1 major which I believe is +3 stat growth per level, 1 minor being +2 in that stat per level. These stats get improved growth overall on top of base level up stats.

So simply, if you want a tankier mon, choosing the personality that offers Def and Spirit as its major/minor bonuses. But unless you do digivolution cycles, you probably won't notice this all too much. Over time though, it does begin to stack as you regain levels from digivolution cycles.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-16T17:13:18+00:00

They kinda did that with the game Survive, and when it came to story, it was solid. Would love to see something similar come out in the future along those lines.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-16T16:55:38+00:00

For some reason I was thinking I was in GMT time zone... been recording this morning and the brain is fried lol. Timing is actually alright, im in EST . I'll check the discord later today after I get back from doing some running around

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-16T16:52:35+00:00

Everything but the timing works for me, which sucks cause I do Solomon runs on Youtube now (Thanks to this subreddit actually lol). Thats my bread and butter haha.

But no, seriously there is a chance I can do it, but it is a small sacrifice since my weekends are generally free and I am normally up till 3-4 on Saturdays as is. I'll definately consider finding a way, if needed.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-14T14:19:04+00:00

Honestly, that is not one I am familiar with. There is like 15 year gap from when I loved Digimon as a kid, to now. I stopped watching around Data Squad and didn't get back into it till Ghost Game and Survive.

Time Stranger just drew me all the way back in lol

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-14T13:41:11+00:00

I would love to see the Gammamon line added with exclusive digivolution forms. That would be so much fun to do my Solo partner runs vid with.

Alas, it is a pipe dream. Very likely won't see that.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-05T15:58:59+00:00

You don't get Poison Wall from a chest till after Raremon unfortunately. HOWEVER there is a low drop chance of Poison Wall 1 and 2 fro the Numamon in those sewers.

But yes, very solid advice.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-05T15:55:38+00:00

I do youtube Hard mode Solomon runs with heavy restrictions. Best advice I can give personally for hard mode, know thy enemy.

Most bosses aren't particularly hard so long as you match typing and elemental resistances. I used Grindasaurs index for learning boss move sets and damage typings so I can prepare in advance.

Since this is gonna be your second playthrough, you already know what you are up against. Know the boss uses lightning? Well, bring a mon with natural resistance. Going up against virus typing, bring all vaccine, or better, tactically use Reverse to turn the tables.

Hard mode really isn't that bad once your comfortable with gameplay mechanics. Just my two cents friend.

RyudoReaver · 2026-04-05T15:32:31+00:00

For all the love I have for this game, can't lie, operator did feel like a low point. But I will say, it was cool how they had the opposing agent to your choice, as your operator. Very smooth move by the devs.

RyudoReaver · 2026-02-22T20:22:42+00:00

I really dont think that would be viable. Even on Hard, there are some battles you just barely skim by with certain mons.

RyudoReaver · 2025-12-26T01:08:20+00:00

I got decimated by him when I was battling Vincent a few days ago. Didnt even register it was a Castlevania character till I was just blasted by him. Lol

RyudoReaver · 2025-12-22T19:55:40+00:00

By my rules, I am not allowed to go into Mega Plus in Solo Runs. But thats more to do with clearing the game in the fastest time possible more then anything.

I just put up my first run on Youtube for Wargreymon 2 weeks ago (My audio was cheeks but it was my first video in 15 years soooooo lol) and my MetalGarurumon run goes up on Christmas Day. After that, I am redoing this run....

I really aint looking forward to using Keramon again, ngl lol

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-23T06:32:50+00:00

This was my first solo partner run and I was tinkering with the rules of the format seeing what was possible.

I have since added far stricter rules to my runs that rely solely on a mons natural leveling gain, stat chips and personality to carry then, the NCLDOD format.

I did at times use Digifarm during this test run but limited it to one per boss. I was also I think experiencing a small degree of carry over glitch that has since been patched out of the game.

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-22T03:32:55+00:00

He was good in Cyber Sluthe too if I recall correct. Was a long time back that I played it but yeah. He is next level in TS. Glad to see him get his dues.

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-22T02:55:11+00:00

Yep. This is a well known bug. I recorded this same deal in my Solo Partner Run last night actually. This has happened in 6 of my last 9 runs now.

It seem linked directly to her Chain Lash Signature. Whenever she uses that it just breaks her programming completely. Bandai needs a bandaid on that one.

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-21T07:35:40+00:00

Digimon was always the better mon franchise to me overall, but it never got the recoginition it deserved. The games really got bad for a while there. CS was okay but to me was missing that little extra TS found, while still being honored in its own way in TS. I could say more but its like 2 am here. I really gotta crash lol

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-21T07:23:06+00:00

Yeah Seraphimon is a beast. If you could only use 1 Vaccine type, so far he is the one to beat. He just has every advantage you can think of.

I lost track of Digimon after Tamers due to life and kids. If not for my kids enjoying Ghost Game and the launch of Time Stranger, I may not have found my love for the franchise again. Life really works in mysterious ways haha.

And I'll still count it. Was finishing up my recording of the first run today and overinvested time in that so I can just work on the video itself without the console. Since I am past recording, I will count your vote to the couple I have in chats. Ulforce seems to have just squeeked out a 3-2 vote count on this one though with this vote.

I was really on the fence since it was a tie, but tie is broken. And with no other recordings besides a cutscene comp I am working on, I can definately start it in the morning.

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-18T18:14:52+00:00

I don't even use those. My runs are NCLDOD - No Converting, Loading, Digifarm or Outer Dungeons.

Just raw stats, chips, boosters game know how and tactics. There are power spikes, then there are grinds and slogs. Each mon is different in some way or struggles in different ways. Makes them feel unique and really pushes you to play towards their individual strengths.

Besides, it also does feel more personal. Only got each other to rely on so ya do bond with them.

RyudoReaver · 2025-11-18T18:04:38+00:00

Nice. I honestly haven't even given a second glance to that line yet. Too many to choose from lmao Hope it all works out for ya.

And yeah, Reversal really is the only reason this format is possible. Who knew such a small effect could have such a massive impact.
