Digimon UP

Digimon UP is the newly released raising RPG from Bandai Namco. Tamers train Partner Digimon and Support Digimon, battle through stages and dungeons, and climb the ranks in Tamer Battles. Since launching on July 15, this Digimon UP guide has become essential reading. It helps you progress efficiently instead of stumbling through the early game. Maybe you just downloaded the app from the App Store or Google Play. Or maybe you're already deep into your first Digivolution. Either way, this Digimon UP guide walks you through every core system you need to master.

What Is Digimon UP?

Digimon Up MEmu

Digimon UP is a mobile raising RPG. It's built around nurturing Digimon rather than simply collecting them. You choose a Partner Digimon at the start of the game. Then you feed and train it through various content. Eventually you unlock Digivolution once it reaches the required level, all the way up to Mega form. Battles are largely automated. So this Digimon UP guide is less about mastering combos. It's more about optimizing the systems that make your team stronger over time: currencies, equipment, Skill Cards, and Support Digimon.

Idle rewards keep accumulating even while you're logged out. So a big part of any good Digimon UP guide is knowing exactly where to reinvest your resources. That way, nothing goes to waste.

Choosing Your Starting Partner Digimon

Your first major decision in Digimon UP is picking your starting egg and Partner Digimon. This choice matters early on because your Partner fights on the field as you progress, and how quickly it levels determines how smoothly your run goes. If you're rerolling, many players aim to secure a strong SP Support Digimon alongside their starter, since a well-rounded lineup of Partner, Support, Buddy, and SP Support Digimon is what actually wins Tamer Battles and clears tougher dungeons.

How to Level Up in Digimon UP

Leveling up touches almost every system in the game. This section of the Digimon UP guide is worth reading closely before you spend any resources.

Leveling Your Tamer Level

To raise your Tamer Level, use Hologram Tickets to activate the Hologram Device and pull gear. Any gear weaker than what you currently have equipped can be sold for Tamer EXP. Once you've banked enough EXP, your Tamer Level goes up automatically. Two shortcuts make this less tedious:

  • Auto button — repeatedly activates the Hologram Device for you. You don't need to keep tapping.
  • Hologram Device Settings — lets you choose which gear rarity is sold automatically. You won't need to manually clear your inventory every few minutes.

Leveling Your Partner Digimon

Your Partner Digimon levels up the same way your Tamer does: by selling gear you no longer need. Once your Partner hits a certain level threshold, Digivolution unlocks, boosting both its skills and its stats. Since Digivolution is one of the biggest power spikes in the early game, prioritizing gear sales toward your Partner's level is a smart move for anyone following this Digimon UP guide.

Digimon UP Currencies Explained

Digimon Up Currencies

Digimon UP runs on three main currencies, and understanding what each one does will save you from wasting resources.

CurrencyPrimary Use
BitsLeveling up the Hologram Device for better equipment odds
DigiEmeraldsBuddy Summon and SP Support Summon (once per day each)
DigiDiamondsSummoning Support Digimon repeatedly

Bits raise your Hologram Device level, which increases your odds of pulling higher-rarity equipment. DigiEmeralds are spent in the Buddy Summon and SP Support Summon, both limited to one free pull per day, so log in daily to avoid missing out. DigiDiamonds are the premium currency of the game — since they let you summon Support Animon multiple times, it's worth saving them up rather than spending them impulsively.

Understanding Equipment: Gear vs. Plugins

Digimon Up Equipment

Equipment in Digimon UP comes from the Hologram Device and splits into two categories:

  • Gear — equipped on your avatar. Gear provides stats and also changes your Tamer's appearance, so there's a cosmetic reason to chase rarer drops too.
  • Plugins — equipped on your Animon. Plugins come in several types, including Attack, Defense, and High-Speed, letting you tailor each Digimon's role on the field.

Any gear or plugin weaker than your current equipment can be safely sold for EXP, which loops back into the leveling systems covered earlier in this Digimon UP guide.

Skill Cards: Passive Power That Adds Up

Digimon Up Skill Card

Skill Cards are pulled through the Summon menu's Skill Card Summon tab, then managed from the Tamer section of the main menu, where you can auto-equip and level them up. The key thing many new players miss is that you don't need to equip every card to benefit from it — simply owning a Skill Card adds to your Total Passive Bonus. That means summoning for Skill Cards whenever you have the currency to spare is almost always worth it, even if you can't slot every card into your active build yet.

Support Digimon: Building Your Battle Team

Support Digimon

Support Digimon fight alongside your Partner Digimon and are pulled from the Summon menu. Getting multiple copies of the same Support Digimon grants bonus EXP, so duplicates are never wasted — they're a core leveling resource. Like Skill Cards, Support Digimon can be auto-selected and leveled up in the Digimon section of the main menu, making it easy to keep your whole roster progressing at once.

Daily Tasks You Shouldn't Skip

Digimon UP Daily Mission

Consistency matters more than any single big pull in Digimon UP. Check the Missions tab in the upper-right corner of the screen every day for objectives like defeating a set number of enemies or activating the Hologram Device a certain number of times. Completing these earns Daily Pts, which convert into DigiEmeralds and a Battle Terminal Pass — both of which feed directly back into the summoning systems covered above. Skipping daily missions is one of the easiest ways to fall behind, so make this the first thing you do each login.

Digimon UP Reroll Tips

If you're just starting and want the strongest possible foundation, rerolling is worth considering. Recent campaign periods have centered on chasing a top-tier SP Support pull alongside a free EX+ Buddy Digimon reward, so check current login campaigns before you commit to a save file. A strong reroll pairs a powerful SP Support Digimon with a solid starter Partner, giving your team an early edge in dungeons and PVP alike.

Quick Recap: Digimon UP Progression Checklist

  • Activate the Hologram Device daily (use Auto to save time)
  • Sell weaker gear for Tamer EXP and Partner Digimon EXP
  • Save DigiDiamonds for Support Digimon summons rather than spending them randomly
  • Use DigiEmeralds on your daily Buddy Summon and SP Support Summon
  • Summon Skill Cards whenever possible for passive stat bonuses
  • Farm duplicate Support Digimon for bonus EXP
  • Complete daily missions for DigiEmeralds and Battle Terminal Passes
  • Digivolve your Partner Digimon as soon as it's eligible

Following this checklist consistently is the fastest way to climb through the early and mid-game in Digimon UP.

Frequently Asked Questions
