Digimon UP Digivice Guide: How to Unlock, Upgrade Parts, and Change Appearance
The Digivice is one of the most valuable progression systems in Digimon UP, providing your Digimon with powerful passive bonuses that make battles significantly easier. While many players focus on leveling their Digimon first, unlocking and improving the Digivice should become a priority as soon as it becomes available. This guide explains how to unlock the Digivice, how Function Research works, every available Digivice part, upgrade mechanics, and how to customize its appearance without affecting its stats.
What Is the Digivice in Digimon UP?
The Digivice is an equipment system that grants passive stat boosts and special effects to your Digimon. By installing different components, you can improve attributes such as Critical Rate, Critical Damage, resistance against certain attacks, and many other combat bonuses.
Since these passive buffs apply throughout battles, the Digivice becomes an essential feature for pushing through tougher stages and unlocking more game content. If you’re planning to progress efficiently, upgrading the Digivice is just as important as improving your Digimon lineup.
How to Unlock the Digivice
To access the Digivice feature, you’ll first need to clear Stage 120. There is also a server requirement. The server must have been open for at least two days before the Digivice becomes available. Since most active servers have already passed this requirement, new players only need to focus on reaching Stage 120.
If you’re having trouble progressing, enable the Auto Battle feature to clear stages faster until you unlock the system. Reaching Stage 120 is an important milestone because several gameplay features remain unavailable until you’ve progressed that far.
How to Obtain Digivice Parts
Digivice components are earned through Function Research.
Each Function Research attempt requires DigiChips, and every research becomes progressively more expensive than the previous one.
Example costs include:
- First research: 150 DigiChips
- Second research: 250 DigiChips
- Third research: 400 DigiChips
- Later attempts continue increasing in cost.
The parts you receive are completely random, so collecting a specific component may require multiple research attempts.
Best Way to Farm DigiChips
Since DigiChips are required for both researching and upgrading Digivice parts, farming them consistently is important.
The most reliable source of DigiChips is completing the game’s Dungeons, making them one of the best daily activities if you’re actively developing your Digivice.
Saving DigiChips for important upgrades instead of spending them immediately can also help maximize long-term progression.
Every Digivice Part
The Digivice contains six equipment slots divided into two categories.
External Parts
External Parts are the rarer category and occupy three equipment slots.
Available External Parts include:
- LCD
- Button
- Body
These parts come in the following rarities:
- SR
- SSR
- UR
Because of their higher rarity, obtaining powerful External Parts usually takes more Function Research attempts.
Internal Parts
Internal Parts fill the remaining three slots inside the Digivice.
Available Internal Parts include:
- Memory
- Storage
- Disc
- GPU
- CPU
- APU
Internal Parts have lower rarity tiers:
- N
- R
- HR
Although easier to obtain, Internal Parts still provide useful passive bonuses that contribute to your overall combat performance.
How Gear Effects Work
Every Digivice component grants its own passive effect after being equipped.
Some examples include:
- Critical Enhancement Disc increases Critical Damage.
- Green LCD boosts Critical Rate.
- Orange Button provides resistance against Combo Damage.
Mixing different parts allows you to customize your Digivice based on your preferred combat strategy, whether you want higher offensive power or improved survivability.
Only three External Parts and three Internal Parts can be equipped simultaneously, so choosing the right combination becomes increasingly important later in the game.
How to Upgrade Digivice Parts
Each Digivice component can be upgraded all the way to Level 100.
Upgrading requires additional DigiChips, making resource management especially important once you’ve collected stronger parts.
Every level increases the part’s Passive Bonus by 4%.
At the maximum level:
- Maximum Level: 100
- Passive Bonus Increase per Level: 4%
- Maximum Passive Bonus: 400%
Because upgrades become expensive over time, many players choose to invest in their best rarity parts before leveling weaker alternatives.
How to Change Your Digivice Appearance
The Digivice can also be customized with different visual designs. Unlike upgrading parts, changing appearances requires Camp Coins instead of DigiChips. Camp Coins are only obtainable after joining or creating a Camp, making guild participation worthwhile even if you’re mainly interested in cosmetic rewards. Available Digivice appearances include:
- Digivice (Alternative Style) 3,500
- D-3 3,500
- D-Ark 3,500
- D-Scanner 7,000
- Digivice iC 7,000
- Digimon Xros Loader 10,500
- Digivice (Alternative Style Variant) 10,500
Does Changing the Digivice Appearance Affect Stats?
No.
Changing your Digivice’s appearance is purely cosmetic. It does not alter your equipped parts, passive bonuses, Gear Effects, or overall combat performance.
You can freely switch between unlocked appearances without worrying about losing any of your upgrades or equipment.
The Digivice is one of the most impactful progression systems in Digimon UP, offering permanent passive bonuses that can significantly improve your team’s strength. After clearing Stage 120, it’s worth investing time into Function Research, collecting stronger parts, and upgrading your best equipment with DigiChips.
While cosmetic Digivice skins provide a fun way to personalize your account, your biggest power gains come from obtaining high-rarity parts, equipping the best Gear Effects, and steadily upgrading them toward Level 100. Prioritizing these upgrades will make advancing through later stages much more manageable and help your Digimon perform at their full potential.
