... If Okuwamon wasn't already a Stingmon in his slid down form I'd wonder if he was an armored Digmon prior to evolving given his skill at it.
Just thinking not enuff dakka if your finisher can't maim your foesEh, his finisher is fine. It's just that Okuwamon was huge and ridiculously tough. Verge could only damage him because his war-gauntlets are a Chrome Digizoid alloy and next update will show their condition. (They're not entirely intact)
Not his kill, so no. Verge only loads worthy foes he killed in at least equal share. Since Beat did most of it, it was Beats unless the guy who says "hnn" actually offers to share
Okuwamon is one of those Ultimates which are mid-line...but have one hax which makes it REALLY hard for lower tiers to meaningfully harm them.So, was Okuwamon unusually strong for his species, or do Ultimates just have that huge a gap between their typical starting stats and their caps?
Yeah, but he had more than just that.Okuwamon is one of those Ultimates which are mid-line...but have one hax which makes it REALLY hard for lower tiers to meaningfully harm them.
Full body diamond hard chitin
Yeah, but he had more than just that.
Remember, the attack from him was also the hardest blow Verge has ever taken, and he was fast enough to compete with Beat's monstrous agility despite his massive size, making WereGarurumon seem slow by comparison.
No. He considered it Beat's rightful kill and didn't think loading it to be an honourable action. If there were more enemies around he probably would have loaded some for the sake of practicality, but he considered the battle won.
Ah, good question.So, was Okuwamon unusually strong for his species, or do Ultimates just have that huge a gap between their typical starting stats and their caps?

Aye, it's pretty fortunate indeed.Fucking hell, that's pretty good. Guess you can't look down on mature Ultimates no matter how beefy you think you are.
Good thing we got a good amount of experience teamfighting mature ultimates in the past arc, huh?
Right now Verge isn't technically strong enough to be an "Elite Bellator" For that you're looking at needing stats in the mid-thousands.
So Beat is now easily Elite Bellator tier, right?JewelBeemon (Black/Onyx)

Geez that's a strong bug!No. He considered it Beat's rightful kill and didn't think loading it to be an honourable action. If there were more enemies around he probably would have loaded some for the sake of practicality, but he considered the battle won.
Ah, good question.
Due to my stat system there are often wide gaps between species members due to the power of their previous forms. The whole multiplicative system means that a difference of 100 becomes 300 then 900, etc.
This particular Okuwamon was a very strong champion (more powerful than Drunky) who then managed to hit his soft caps. But the fact that he'd never hit Mega demotivated him to train any further given the vast amount of effort and resources it would take.
Here were his full stat lines:

As a note: Due to his speed-size ratio Okuwamon seemed slower than he should have, especially since he was extremly heavy. But as he saw when one on one he was able to blitz Verge with little effort.
I am a bit surprised though that he was that strong as a Champion but only became a mid tier Ultimate. I guess he just didn't have the right personality for a higher tier form or something?
Yes. Expect a promotion in his future.
Who can also ambush things really well. It was part of the reason why he went Okuwamon rather than JewelBeemon, mentality.
Yep and tougher than she'd have ever been. But Repulsa as a soft capped LadyDevimon would have been a bit stronger in the end thanks to her species expanded caps.So this is basically what a mid tier Ultimate species peaks at if a particular mon doesn't have the potential to reach Mega? So a little bit weaker than what Repulsa would have capped out at had she not obtained a Spirit?
You're half right. Okuwamon isn't a mediocre evolution by any means. In fact that's what Astamon's Beat evolved to before hitting Mega.I am a bit surprised though that he was that strong as a Champion but only became a mid tier Ultimate. I guess he just didn't have the right personality for a higher tier form or something?
Perhaps the most obscure and rare evolution however is the "Equipment" evolution, where a digimon is able to bond with the equipment left behind by another deceased digimon of a higher level. Though this only works if the data of the mon in question is compatible with that of the preserved equipment.
I was assuming upper mid tier, along the lines of something like MetalGreymon. One step down from stuff like LadyDevimon and one step above stuff like WereGarurumon.You're half right. Okuwamon isn't a mediocre evolution by any means. In fact that's what Astamon's Beat evolved to before hitting Mega.
If being peak Champion was enough to reach Mega there would be a lot more of them running around. Most mon evidently don't have that special something that allows them to go all the way.
Sadly no. Their data really isn't compatible.So, this is a thing. And Pit is now using Sandiramon's spear. Potential new Digivolution for him?
That's... roughly correct.I was assuming upper mid tier, along the lines of something like MetalGreymon. One step down from stuff like LadyDevimon and one step above stuff like WereGarurumon.
I like that you've put a lot of thought into this. And you certainly hit several broad strokes of my interpretation of a digital world. Though there are some things I have to correct or clarify.Three main factors I can see:
Megas tend to be quite divergent from the previous stage, and we also know higher evolutions have strong influences on personality. Those who have the personality for a Mega might well have hell getting to Ultimate for the same reasons(this is a good thing, see point 2). Those who run around loading digimon in a rampage run into point 3.
Secondly, Mega stat requirements are absurd. Like, beyond most digimons hardcaps. They have to essentially load massive amounts of data at one shot to hit the target from their hardcap(most likely this is from loading a capped Ultimate who's on track to Mega themselves) with the associated risks of outright exploding...OR, they are those digimon with immense difficulty evolving at Rookie and Champion levels, thus expanding their Talent when they do evolve, in exchange for a long period of vulnerability and visibility.
Third, a lot of Megas are Titles. First come first serve, if the mantle is taken it doesn't matter how well you fit the requirements if theres one already. The Demon Lords are probably one of those. Those who go on a loading rampage probably very swiftly qualify for an unclaimed Demon Lord seat...and the rest are stuck.
Those typically tend to be 'normal' Megas though, right? Things that aren't part of any special group and aren't particularly strong by Mega standards.Now with all this said, there are wild mega digimon out there, more than one might think too. But for them finding enough fuel is very tough, and Bulwark tends to hunt any that get too destructive.
Correct.Those typically tend to be 'normal' Megas though, right? Things that aren't part of any special group and aren't particularly strong by Mega standards.
Things that are just the basic Mega evolution of common species.
