Digimon UP Tier List (July 2026): Best Digimon Ranked

Building a winning team in Digimon UP requires looking beyond your favorite childhood monsters. While Bandai Namco’s virtual pet RPG lets you start with iconic Digimon, progression comes down to team synergy. Unlike standard gachas where your starter dictates early power, Digimon UP separates combat into three distinct character types: Support Digimon, Buddy Digimon, and SP Supports. This updated Digimon UP tier list ranks every unit so you can invest your upgrade materials effectively.

Tier List Overview & Breakdown

Our Digimon UP Tier List ranks the best Support, Buddy and SP Support Digimon currently available, as well as a full breakdown of every Starter Partner evolution path.

• Support Digimon: Judged by their party-wide Battle Effects (e.g. Stun Rate, Critical Damage, Cooldown Reduction).
• Buddy Digimon: Evaluated on their Unique Skills as well as scaling potential at maximum Breakthrough level.
• SP Support Digimon: Ranked by comparing their base stat growth and skill versatility against standard SR Digimon

S-Tier Digimon

Standout Digimon picks worth prioritizing your resources on. The Digimon in the list below offer some of the best skills and party-wide buffs in the game.

Digimon	Info
Lylamon [Support]	• Increases your team’s Evasion Rate, granting you more chances to dodge incoming attacks entirely.
Hippogriffomon [Support]	• Increases your team’s Critical Damage, additionally rewarding team comps that already have higher Critical Rates.
Agumon [Buddy] (Tai Kamiya)	• One of the best Digimon in this tier list. His passive skill dramatically increases your Counterattack Rate, and its Breakthrough makes it the best long-term investment in the game.
Jazarichmon [Support]	• Increases Boss Damage, making it the best pick for PVE encounters and Story Chapter boss fights.
Megaseadramon [Support]	• Lowers enemy Skill Critical Damage, allowing your team to tank more hits and offering an additional layer of defense against Skill-heavy enemy teams.
Triceramon [Buddy]	• Significantly boosts its own Attack Power after using a Skill. The only downside is the boost is only applied to Normal Attacks.
Knightmon [Support]	• Increases the amount of Health restored by any HP Recovery Effects.
Digitamamon [Support]	• Reduces the chance of your team getting Stunned, countering enemies that rely on crowd control to win battles.
Wingdramon [Support]	• Shortens the cooldown of Partner Skills, allowing you to cast stronger Skills more frequently in prolonged battles.
Nefertimon [SP Support]	• Among the best SP Supports in the game. Nefertimon increases the base damage of up to 5 Support Digimon.
BryweLudramon [Support]	• Lowers enemy Critical Damage taken, allowing your team to survive a potential one-shot Critical attack.
HeavyLeomon [Support]	• Increases your teams Critical Rate, in essence functioning as a damage multiplier, paired perfectly around heavy-burst damage team comps.
Parrotmon [Support]	• Increases Airborne Rate, giving your team more chances to block enemy actions.
WarGreymon [SP Support]	• One of, if not the strongest SP Support Digimon. The WarGreymon features an insane AOE attack, triggered passively through your Partner attacks, which means that the effect is almost always active.
Durandamon [Support]	• Increases Normal Attack Damage, pairing perfectly with other attack buffing Digimon, like Triceramon.
Bluemeramon [Support]	• Increases overall Skill Damage, making it an easy pick for any Skill-based, offensive team comps.
Skadimon [Support]	• Perfect for crowd controlling enemies. Skadimon increases your teams overall Stun Rate, making it much easier to interupt enemy actions mid-battle.
Lavogaritamon [Support]	• Reduces damage taken from bosses, a must-have for PVE and Story Chapter boss encounters.
HiAndromon [Support]	• Significantly boosts Skill Critical Rate, allowing more consistent Critical Strikes for your Skill-based Digimon.
Hydramon [Support]	• Increases your teams HP Recovery Rate, keeping them topped up and alive in prolonged fights.

A-Tier Digimon

Not the top picks, but the Digimon in the list below are still reliable additions to most teams.

Digimon	Info
Halsemon [SP Support]	• Increases Critical Damage after using a Skill.
Andromon [Buddy]	• Increases Attack Power after using a Skill, boosting your overall offensive performance.
Pegasusmon [SP Support]	• Boosts Combo Damage for 5 seconds after using a skill, improving your Combo efficiency.

B-Tier Digimon

These Digimon are still usable and won’t actively lose you battles, but you’ll likely prioritize better options on our Digimon Tier List first.

Digimon	Info
Mammothmon [Buddy]	• Shares the same post-Skill Attack Boost as Andromon, however, it is slightly less powerful.
Flamedramon [SP Support]	• Similarly to Halsemon, Flamedramon also increases your Critical Damage after using as skill, but at a lower rate.

C-Tier Digimon

The Digimon in the list below are simply outclassed by nearly everything found in the lists above them.

Digimon	Info
Tuskmon [Buddy]	• Increases its own defenses after using a Skill.
Tyrannomon [Buddy]	• Just like Tuskmon, Tyrannomon will also increase its own defenses after a Skill, but the additional defenses it gains are overall weaker.

Starter Partner Evolution Guide

Your Starter Partner is a completely different system from your Support, Buddy and SP Support Digimon. It determines your core Digivolution line from In-Training all the way to Mega. In the list below, you’ll find all of the available evolution paths.
