It REALLY does. I mean, I was lucky and only had to do it seriously for three or four Digimon, but man,<em>fuck</em>Lucemon. You had to do that process for every single stat, it felt like.<br/><br/>But yeah, Rand...get three Platinum Numenons and 9 Tactician USB's as quickly as you can. That speeds up the levelling MASSIVELY. Like, with those three as your main party, each with three TUSB's, one battle in Kowloon Level 4 will take you from level 1 to level 30. It speeds things up MASSIVELY.<br/><br/>I called my three Platy, Numy and Stotch, and my playthrough would have been about 400 hours of grinding if not for them. XD
