Ready to dominate the Digital World with the strongest partners possible? With over 400 Digimon available in Time Stranger, choosing the right team can feel overwhelming. Our tier rankings break down which Digital Monsters deserve your training time and which ones you should skip entirely. Whether you're building for story mode or endgame content, these rankings will guide your evolution decisions.
S-Tier: The Digital Legends
These powerhouses represent the absolute peak of what Time Stranger offers. Each brings game-changing abilities that can carry you through the toughest encounters.
Digimon Time Stranger Trophy and ...
WarGreymon Line
The Agumon → Greymon → WarGreymon evolution remains unmatched for consistent performance. With balanced stats across all phases and Terra Force dealing massive damage, this line excels in both early grinding and late-game boss fights. His 538 attack at level 11 makes him a reliable damage dealer throughout your journey.
MetalGarurumon Line
Gabumon's ultimate form brings incredible DPS with versatile elemental coverage. The Cocytus Breath ability can freeze enemies while dealing substantial damage. This line particularly shines against Virus-type bosses where type advantage matters most.
Coronamon
Don't sleep on this rookie powerhouse. Coronamon puts up insane numbers with Corona Flame, a physical-fire hybrid attack that benefits from Acceleration Boost. At level 11, his 1,670 HP and 391 defense make him surprisingly tanky while maintaining 523 attack power.
tip
You can obtain Coronamon by devolving Patamon down to Poyomon, then evolving through Pokomon to reach this hidden gem.
A-Tier: Exceptional Performers
These Digimon offer excellent capabilities with minor limitations that keep them from S-tier status.
Bearmon
Despite having lower attack stats (493 at level 11), Bearmon consistently hits hardest with Barefist. His Beast-type classification seems to amplify physical damage output beyond what the numbers suggest. With 317 defense, he can absorb hits while dishing out punishment.
Gilman
Boasting the highest raw attack stat at 585, Gilman delivers devastating single-target damage. His 321 defense provides decent survivability, though you'll want support Digimon ready with healing and buffs for sustained fights.
Gomamon
The strongest starter choice thanks to superior bulk and Vaccine typing. While lacking raw damage, Gomamon counters early-game Virus bosses effectively. Pair him with Agumon for a balanced offensive-defensive core.
B-Tier: Solid Choices
Reliable performers that excel in specific situations but lack the universal appeal of higher tiers.
Monodrammon
This glass cannon hits incredibly hard with Knuckle Beater despite having the lowest attack stat (490) in our rankings. His 902 HP makes him fragile, requiring constant support, but the damage output justifies the investment.
Patamon
The highest intelligence among starters makes Patamon a natural caster. However, Data typing creates problems against Virus bosses in early content. Still valuable for magical damage when type matchups favor him.
Angewomon/MagnaAngemon Lines
These evolution paths provide essential healing and buff utility. While not damage powerhouses, their support capabilities become crucial for challenging boss encounters.

important
Use the Skill Sharing system to patch weaknesses. Compatible Digimon can inherit abilities from allies, creating hybrid builds that overcome natural limitations.
C-Tier: Situational Picks
These Digimon serve specific niches but struggle with consistency or availability issues.
DemiDevimon
Appealing design and early AoE attacks seem promising, but this starter falters when it matters most. Virus typing creates disadvantages against early bosses, and the steep evolution requirements (250 ATK, 350 INT) make progression difficult.
Olympus XII Members
While these legendary Digimon boast impressive stat ceilings, their late-game availability limits practical impact. Save resources for more accessible powerhouses unless you're planning endgame optimization.
Evolution Strategy Tips
Type Triangle Mastery
Understanding the Virus/Vaccine/Data triangle remains crucial for success:
- Vaccine beats Virus (Gomamon vs early bosses)
- Virus beats Data (avoid DemiDevimon vs Data enemies)
- Data beats Vaccine (Patamon struggles vs Vaccine types)
Skill Inheritance Planning
The Skill Sharing system lets you create custom builds:
- Give Acceleration Boost to physical attackers like Coronamon
- Add Critical Charge to glass cannons like Monodrammon
- Teach Attack Charge to consistent damage dealers
