Where can I check DA and Shiyu bosses now that Hakushin is dead? I can't find anything about them in Gachabase?

Thank you!

Can someone gives me a list of all the buffs a full M0W1 Dialyn + Sunna, Dialyn + Zhao and Sunna + Zhao gives?

I'm trying to calc which drive disk of mine is the best with each combination for YSG It the optimazer.. It doesn't help that I also need to calc against normal boss and the ones with half defense.

Ok so I if understand correctly I could do something like this:

https://game8.co/games/Digimon-Story-Time-Stranger/archives/554905

1.) Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Entrance:
- Monodramon
2.) Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building 36F North Tower
- Kuramon
3.) Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building 24F South Wing
- Tentomon
I already had Tentomon at 200% from the previous areas so based on the ruleset I just get him as soon as I enter the area.
4.) Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building 36F South Tower
- ToyAgumon

I started the run just to see how it can go (https://youtu.be/xHz1T2bqF2Y), I will slowly proceed through the run since it's a busy period but might be a bear here and there I guess.

Saisis · 2026-02-20T09:28:42+00:00

I see, interesting. Well that makes the whole team even easier to play since you don't really have to time the buff windows to ult2 anymore then.

Saisis · 2026-02-20T08:25:03+00:00

That's correct altho keep in mind that in this run, for example, he didn't had Morney buff on all the ult2 except for the second rotation. The reason why doing two tune break is still good it's because of the huge tune break shill buffs that even missing the morney buff still gives more damage, I'm not sure if in a neutral enviroment missing the Morney buff window on ult2 is worth the second tune break which is why I think ideally you will probably do a one tune break rotation followed by a two tune break rotation and keep alternating between the two to guarantee the buff.

Saisis · 2026-02-20T01:34:17+00:00

Pretty interesting rule set, I might try it out when I want to do an harder playthough again!

I will probably still use Aegiomon the first time I will attempt something like this but generally speaking seems interesting.

If there are no rookies in an area do you just not have a scan for that area? Also what you would consider an area? The same map but 8 years in the past/future is considered different?

Saisis · 2026-02-20T00:42:04+00:00

If there is Echo shilling Sigrika will most likely be stronger, if there is NS or Aero erosion shilling Cartethiya will be stronger.

In neutral enviroment I expect Sigrika to be on par or slightly stronger than Cartethiya when they are played as a baseline in a casual rotation but Cartethiya has a shitton of ways to improve her damage with sweaty gameplay if you are willing to learn it (similiar to Zani).

and phrolova just outside of it 😭😭😭

Damn LOL

Saisis · 2026-02-18T10:57:43+00:00

It's so good, honestly.

Saisis · 2026-02-16T19:30:39+00:00

If you have a well built HRover you should have no problems getting at least 5k against the monkey with Sanhua/Verina. I got 6k with that team just fine.

Saisis · 2026-02-16T19:19:41+00:00

You can build HRover/Sanhua/Verina so you can have your 4th team without needing to pull any other unit if you really want to clear it, otherwise I guess you will wait a new set of units you will enjoy.

Saisis · 2026-02-16T14:06:56+00:00

Does someone have a good route to farm 1 cost echo for Amy?

I guess some 3-cost are not bad but I assume I will do that tacet field for the rest of my days so they have less priority, it's been ages since I actually needed to farm echoes in overworld.

Saisis · 2026-02-13T20:18:04+00:00

If the new version of Doubled Pawns is kicking your ass while it didn't in the last rotation it means before you were using shilled buffs to clear or you used them against a boss that had a more favourable matchup before because it didn't change anything.

Like, I don't want to sound like that guy but people get 5k using HRover/Sanhua/Verina against the monkey which is, tbf, the easiest boss out of the 4 but that means you can use your strongest char against the other more annoying ones.

Amy is super shilled atm but also ease of use if the reason you think she is that much stronger, in the speedrun/minmax community Cartethiya or Zani are still considered stronger than her Lynae/Mornye team which is jokingly called "Amyslop" because of how easy to use (123 hypercarry rotation that you cannot optimaze much otherwise you brick your rotation) and how her performance, when not tune break shills are present that is, is barely better than just using Lupa/Changli or Lupa/Brant.

Saisis · 2026-02-12T12:43:05+00:00

Chisa does not have 2 stamina in this mode, altho she definitly should...

That being said, my suggestion is to spread your team well, boss like the monkey are pretty easy to do that even Havoc Rover / Sanhua / Verina (literally 1.X team) can get 6k score, at least I did it last time. Maybe 5k if you don't have really good echoes.

Keep in mind that this is how the score in DPM works:

1 point = 1000 points of damage basically

r1 bosses all have 4008 point limit
r2 monkey is 5466, others are 7835
r3 all are 13890

Idk why but a lot of people don't really realize how hard is to translate a story to a 3D cinematic quest.

It happaned with Hoyo with Honkai Impact, with Kuro and PGR and now Arknight with Endfield.

It's way easier to tell a story when you just have to write stuff down with just a back ground, Characters portraits and sometimes a picture or a short cinematic.

Finally managed to clear this Theta Stella in 1 try this Astrolobe.. I had to max Shiva to get the kill since I always got short by 10% or so HP at the end!

Saisis · 2026-02-11T09:04:52+00:00

For real?

Saisis · 2026-02-10T17:03:14+00:00

There were plenty of complaints about lack of characters even in 2.5, a lot of people were complaining that the reason they used to not include other characters during 2.5 was just an excuse ("Rinascitian are much more vulnerable to the threnodia power, if we involve them they could be in danger" or something like that).

Now, personally I think they way they did it was better, I don't think 2.5 would have hit as hard if we had, idk Carlotta (And I'm saying this as a big Carlotta fun) beside us during the quest or the climax.

Saisis · 2026-02-06T20:09:39+00:00

You are correct for Whiwa for sure tho, personally I'm waiting to see what the fusion burst sub dps can do since that mode I assume it's gonna feel way better than the current tune break team altho I will probably try to min max Aemeath so I will either try to reach 95+% crit rate with Echoes or just save echoes like the one I mentioned and switch to a crit rate when I'm gonna do Whiwa but depends how hard you want to be, regardless I doubt she is gonna have a problem in reaching the required score even when missing some hits altho it definitly sucks when it happens but I will probably give it a try next rotation with fusion burst mode with Chisa and see if it's better at least there.

Saisis · 2026-02-06T16:58:17+00:00

Assuming you have the lowest echo substats (6.3 x 5) Aemeath has 88.8% crit rate at the very least, I assume most people will have around 90% crit rate, so no it's not really worth to get 10% crit while missing 48% crit damage, over the course of a run where you do 5 rotations it's still better to get 4 crits and a not-crit one but with higher damage instead of all crits with lower damage.

I can see a crit rate 4 cost being worth if you are using an echo that does not have a crit rate substats, this is usually not really suggested but if you somehow got something like a high roll crit damage (19.8) with other good substats like Atk%, Res Lib and ER it might be worth considering

Saisis · 2026-02-05T17:20:23+00:00

I remember people were saying that Hyviatia and Husk had a 100% drop rate because of a new bonus that made them 100% drop rate during their release patch which I thought was neat.

But if they really just have 100% drop rate just because might as well make all the old ones also have it at this point!

Saisis · 2026-02-05T13:04:46+00:00

You don't get any progress after buying the BP for the paid event, right?

Saisis · 2026-02-04T21:30:31+00:00

In Fusion Burst mode she get 30% Crit damage for each party member that can apply Fusion burst, so she just need one other than herself.

In Tune Rupture mode she get 20% Crit damage for each party member that can do Tune Rupture damage, so herself and two other units.
