4⭐ Digtoise worth it?

[Wereriche]

Im thinking of building a Digtoise team for manual digging. Is the investment worth it?

[Crene]

from what iv seen its good if its in your party(+crafted item) but its bad if its in your base they eat way to much for how much work they do

[Red riding hood the third]

my digtoise was able to mine quartz using drill crusher and there are more then one pal that has 4 stars in mining already.
i wouldnt invest

[PantsuMask]

yea, they are annoying in the base honestly.

I've bred Digtoise with dainty eater and work skills, only really worth at base if you put in that effort. They're good to have as a companion when you're out mining metals though

[Le fishe au chocolat]

Yes, I won the third boss with a 4 stars Digtoise in my pals team.

[Vulture]

I had more fun making a mining team of a bunch of broncherry, a fast flier, and a reptyro or mammorest.

No.

anubis can be made as early at lvl 19 with bushi and penking, the hard part is making the cake lol

Do what you want if you want to min max then it depends.

Digtoise apparently is only for active player mining and not base "passive" mining at the moment as it's bugged.

I've actually bred numerous Digtoise with four stars and a full compliment of work speed-related traits, they're not too shabby imo
They do 8~9 damage per hit to ore nodes when stationed at a base, and they take such short breaks between spins that it's pretty much constant. Put a bunch of Dumud chowder in the feed box and they work very consistently.

That being said, I don't care too much about being sub-optimal; in my personal opinion they're totally fine.

Edit: Missed the part in the OP about manual digging; they are significantly more effective when deployed directly from your team, so my stance remains.

ya, this. Caprity and Grizzbolt, Elizabee and Chillet or Dinoblossom. Just have to catch a beegarde. You can breed a beegarde, but I would just catch it since you're getting honey from them anyway. And swing by the East side to grab an Arsox or Wixen to cook faster.

Is it worth going 4star for drill crusher?

[BigFatJuicyMonkeys]

If you're going to 4* anything for manual mining might as well do it with an Astegon and instantly mine all nodes in the area instead of each node separately really quickly.

You could probably do it with Mommorest too since they have a similar ability but I've never seen any footage of that in action. Astegon can fly too so it has that going over it.

I'd say that depends on how efficient your cake supply is, and how many other needs you have for your breeding program. I'd file it firmly under 'nice to have' not 'omg I need this' A leveled digtoise with a couple stars and some damage buffs will be more than adequate for quick mining trips to specialty spots, and you can spend your cakes on making combat and travel pals suitable for endgame.
