Easiest way to get Tactician USB?

[TheStark700]

I heard about this useful item before. Anyone have suggestions the easiest or most effective way to obtain tactican usb?

[Mao Zedong]

So far I only know two ways of getting it. One is to use the develop feature on the farm (1000 yen), another is to do offline colosseum legendary cup. You get 1 tactician and billionare usb, but make sure to lose the last round or you won't be able to do it again

[クズハモン]

Develop one on the farm island(requires 2 dev know hows) and right before it's done(one minute left) save and then if it's not the usb, quit and reload save until you get it. You get 2 per batch

[brago90]

PlatinumNumemon can drop it.

[PolyethyleneMan]

Get 10 digimon with the builder personality and put them in the farm, along with two dev know hows. Use the middle option on the development command (IDK how many yen it is), and save about 30 seconds before the item is complete. You can get two USBs per session with this, and just reload the save if you don't get the right item.

Yup, I've been trying this method. It seems to be a rare drop. Took me about 30 minutes to get the first two but no luck yet on more.

More Developer Know-How items on the farm should increase your odds.

Also if you are having to retry dozens of times, you may as well try to get the save time as close as possible to when the development finishes. Note that if development finishes while you are on the menu saving your save will be after the item is chosen, so keep a backup save just in case you overshoot.

Just for reference, getting a full equip loadout of Tactician's isn't strictly necessary. Contrary to what I've seen some people say, Tactician USB's don't multiply with one another, they stack additively with each other. Each Tactician effectively just adds another fight's worth of XP onto your gain. So if 0 Tacs is 1x, then 1 Tac is 2x, 2 is 3x, and so on. Which means that each additional one increases your total gain by a smaller and smaller percentage. So if you can't get a bunch of them easily, don't stress too much over it. Having at least 2 equipped is nearly a must, but anything past that ends up mostly being convenience in my experience. But as the others have said, yes, the easiest way to get them is to have a farm (preferably multiple farms if you can) run Research at the 1k setting and then save scum it until you get a Tac, then do it again.

What about PlatinumSukamon? Is it worth to always keep 2 of them in the active party? I'm finding their fighting style incredibly boring and would love to be more diverse. Right now, I'm farming my Etemon to PlatinumNumemon so until I get them, I'm using at least 2 PlatinumSukamon in active party per battle.

Should I just keep one instead and switch it out with someone else?

Platinum mons DO multiply, including against the USBs. Having 3 is significantly different than having 2, which is significantly different than having 1, and having 3+USBs is even more of a big deal.

The best grinding in my opinion is to take 3 platinum sukamons with 3 tactician usbs each, in chapter 16 or higher, and go to Odaiba along with a rookie+ Free type mon for starting battles and whichever mons you want to train. ALL of the enemies in Odaiba use physical attacks only, so the platinum sukamon's 999 defense stat makes them basically invincible. Most if not all of them are ultimate level as well, so the XP is really good there. Just Function call to stat battle, then press select and alt tab for a minute or so, come back with enough xp to go from 1 to 50 in one battle.

Obviously chapter 16 is pretty far into the game, but you don't really need to do much grinding prior to that, especially if you play on normal. Only end game and bonus content enemies should be strong enough to force you to optimize at all on normal. Bonus, by the time you get that far you should naturally get all the tactician usbs you need just from spamming development while you play the game.

Ooh this is quite interesting.

Sadly, I'm not at chapter 16 yet as I've been going through side missions, managing my Digif-farms, collecting items, etc. It's actually taking much more time than I had expected.

Question though...are the Royal Knights from the DLC packages worth leveling up? I've been using them a lot but it seems they take much longer because of the xp length.

First off, the DLC Royal Knights are not worth levelling up. They have low stats compared to actual megas and they're basically only useful in early game. And while I do agree that having the maximum number of PlatinumNumemons and Tacs is very beneficial, it is by no means necessary. For example, having 3 PlatinumNumemons gives the most xp, but you can complete battles much faster if you use something else to one-shot the fight. Though I would like to reiterate that stacking Tacs is not THAT major of a difference. The way the math works out, having 9 Tacs equipped only a little over triples the technical value of having 2 equipped, so DON'T stress over it. And if you'd like reference on the math, each Tac increases the battle xp by one fight's value. So one USB equipped is 2x, 2 is 3x, and that makes 9 10x if we follow that process. If we use an example, if we said a fight was normally worth 500 xp, then with 2 equipped you would get 1500 xp. 9 would be 5000 xp. And while yes, that is a major difference, keep in mind that it only saves you a bit over 2 fights worth of XP, so it isn't all that vital when you consider how much time it would take to get all those extra USBs in the first place. If you already have them, then great, use them. But don't worry if you can't get them. Also, don't bother using PlatinumNumemons if you're not specifically grinding. If you're just doing normal story or side mission stuff, then just use whatever party you like to use. It's easy to get level 99, or at least into the 80s, so don't worry about the bit of wasted xp from those high xp value fights.

Thanks for the reply! Some of the details is what I suspected and from now on, I'm going to be much more diverse in my party lineup. It just felt so boring at times playing with 3 PlatinumNumemons lol.

I'm going to abandon using the DLC Royal Knights too (except when I get the Mega versions). Been playing through a normal story playthrough so far.
