Evolution Tree Planner Basics

Hands-on tutorial for the Digimon Story Time Stranger Evolution Tree tool, covering branch requirements, currency budgeting, and share-code collaboration.

Interface Overview

The Evolution Tree planner mirrors all in-game branching data but adds three enhancements: cost forecasting, stat preview overlays, and share-code collaboration. Use the numbered callouts below as you follow along in-app.

  1. Branch Panel: Select Rookie → Mega routes. Hover a form to view required affinity, quest flags, and currency costs.
  2. Resource Ledger: Tracks Digi-cores, Modular Shells, and unique quest items consumed by planned evolutions.
  3. Stat Overlay: Toggle Attack/Defense/Speed deltas to compare potential forms at a glance.

Three-Step Planning Flow

  1. Anchor the Final Form: Decide on a Mega that fits your team role (burst, support, disruption). Mark alternative Megas as backups.
  2. Budget Resources: Enter your current currency stock to see deficit projections. The tool highlights farming quests to close gaps.
  3. Export Share Code: Generate a six-character code to share with teammates or your future self for NG+ runs.

Sample Growth Route: Terriermon → MegaGargomon

  • Rookie to Champion: Terriermon → Gargomon (Affinity 20+)
  • Champion to Ultimate: Gargomon → Rapidmon (Quest “Factory Recall”)
  • Ultimate to Mega: Rapidmon → MegaGargomon (Chrono Core x3, Vanguard affinity ≥ 40)

Plug the route into the planner and enable the Projected Statstoggle. You will see MegaGargomon gaining +28% Defense compared to alternative Megas— perfect for sustain squads. Save the share code and import it inside the Team Builder to simulate final resistances.

Collaboration Tips

  • Label share codes with version numbers (e.g., GARGO-1.1).
  • Use the notes panel to record Harmony dialogue checkpoints.
  • Archive obsolete plans after patches; old resource costs are marked in red.
