Betamon, Gotsumon, Tentomon, Which Is Best? IN DIGIMON STORY CYBER SLEUTH HACKER’S MEMORY

Recommended Videos

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory presents players with a choice right from the off. A short while into the game, you’ll reach a special area called the Black Market, where hackers come together to buy and sell Digimon. You’re restricted to choosing one of three, and this will be your starter Digimon that you use for the initial few hours of the Hacker’s Story. The three options are Betamon, Tentomon, Gotsumon. Each has different abilities according to their type, but it’s important to remember that you’ll be evolving and devolving your starters as the Hacker’s Story progresses, so there’s no need to worry too much about your choice. Ultimately, you’ll be able to experience all three by the game’s end.

However, if we had to choose between the three, Tentomon would be our choice. This is because the game’s first three bosses are virus-type, and given that Tentomon is a vaccine-type, he’ll prove the most effective against them. Besides, it’s also one of the original Digimon… so, nostalgia!

Here’s a comparison of the differences between the three:

Betamon

Betamon is a Virus type Digimon that uses Water-based attacks. Betamon is an Amphibian Digimon that walks on four legs. Its personality is gentle, but although it is a docile Digimon, once Betamon is angered it emits its “Dengeki Biririn” from its body.

Examples of Attacks in Previous Games

  • Electric Shock Generates more than 1 MV of electric current to strike the opponent.
  • Beta Slugger (Fin Cutter)
  • Water Tower

Tentomon

Tentomon can be both a Virus and Vaccine type Digimon that primarily uses Plant-based attacks. It is an Insectoid Digimon with a friendly disposition. Tentomon has one hard claw on each of its fore-legs, and four on each of its middle and hind-legs.

Examples of Attacks in Previous Games

  • Super Shocker
  • Talon Attack
  • Tai Atari
  • Double Punch
  • Rolling Guard

Gotsumon

Gotsumon is a Datatype Digimon that uses Earth-based attacks. It is mischievous with a cheerful personality.

Examples of Attacks in Previous Games

  • Rock Fist
  • Crazy Crusher
  • Hardest Punch
