Support cards can be used before each battle to help in winning. They usually resemble a tool that appeared in the previous game Digimon World and possess various support effects, like adding 300 attack points, recover 700HP if own HP is lower than foe's, 1st attack, changing own property to Darkness and halving both self and foe's HP, countering foe's attack and halving self's HP etc.
Normally each card only allows six copies. There are some cards that the player is limited to only one copy, like the Seven Cards, Downloader and Rosemon's Lure. The player can only have three partners and the other three (and their armor forms) cannot be obtained but only acknowledged in their slots of the players card collection. Also in the game, there are twelve super-rare cards that can only be obtained by creating 'fusion mutations'. These twelve cards are known in the game as 'Digi-Jewels'. These cards, when all are put in the same deck, after a battle they will give extra points. However, these cards have little to negative effects.
Partner Digimon
Edit
In the beginning of the game, the play chooses one partner out of the three that are available, while getting a starter deck with specialties the same as the chosen partner's Armor forms. As the player progress through the game he/she will be able to select two more partners. Partners available are:
- Veemon (armor: Flamedramon, Raidramon and Magnamon)
- Hawkmon (armor: Shurimon and Halsemon)
- Armadillomon (armor: Digmon and Submarimon)
- Wormmon (armor: Shadramon and Quetzalmon)
- Gatomon (armor: Nefertimon and Tylomon)
- Patamon (armor: Pegasusmon and Baronmon)
Experience Points
Edit
Every partner cards have a Rank in its stats, Digi-Parts can be achieved by leveling up partner card also by leveling up partner card can gain extra HP or attack stats. The player has card battles not only to get more cards but also to help their partner/s gain experience points. When the partner gets enough experience points, it goes up a rank. The partner first starts at Rank 1 and the highest rank is 99. Every 5 ranks, the partner gets a boost in either their HP or attack power.
Aside from Experience Points gained from battle with opponents, there are bonus experiences that can be gained by performed particular task when in battle:
Digi-Parts
Edit
As the players partner/s go up in ranks, he/she gains digi-parts. Digi-parts can be used to modify the partner to boosts its HP, attack power or support effect. Only 118 digi-parts can be earned by going up in ranks. The others can be gained by beating certain opponents certain number of times and partner fusing. There are a total of 128 digi-parts in the game.
Completing the Game
Edit
By beating A the player 'finishes' the game. However, the game completion is only around 40%. To fully complete the game, the player must go through city to city again and beat the new arenas that open. The last opponent in the game is BlackWarGreymon who only appears after the player has beaten BlackMetalGarurumon and have 300+ wins. Card collection and Digi-parts collection do not affect the game completion, which means even if one gets 100% cards and digi-parts, the game completion may not end with 100%.
