Digimon Story Time Stranger personality chart - all types and skills

What is the best Digimon Story Time Stranger personality? They say it's personality that counts, and that extends to our favorite digital monsters. However, this isn't just to give them a bit of character. Personality types bestow stat bonuses per level-up and unique passive skills that can make a huge difference in battle.

With so many personality types in Digimon Story Time Stranger, it's easy to lose sight of what each one offers. Our complete personality chart includes all the stats and skills to help you choose the best personality for your Digimon in the RPG game. We can also walk you through the steps to change a Digimon's personality to suit your needs.

The best personality depends on your Digimon's role on the team. Each personality offers certain stat boosts and personality skills, and it's important to take into account which ones align with what your Digimon brings to each battle.

Here are the best personality types for each role:

Philanthropy is best for healers
Valor is best for physical and counter attackers
Wisdom is best for magic attackers
Amicability is best for taunters, buffers, and debuffers

All Digimon have a base personality, which you can view in the Field Guide. However, that personality is not necessarily the best one for how you'd like to raise them. For example, Gatomon has a Tolerant base personality, which aligns with the support skills she can learn over time. However, the benefits of a Tolerant personality are minimal if you'd prefer to build her as a magic or physical DPS unit.

How to change Digimon personality types

To change your Digimon's personality type, speak to the battle members in your party when prompted by the speech bubble icon that occasionally appears above their heads. You can also interact with Digimon after they complete their training at the DigiFarm to see how their personality has changed.

When you converse with your Digimon, you can select multiple dialogue options. Each one is tagged with a different icon that corresponds to a main personality type, and whichever one you select shifts your Digimon's personality in that direction.

Here are the icons for each of the main personality types:

Heart: Philanthropy
Sun: Valor
Spectacles: Wisdom
Eye: Amicability

Regardless of whether you speak to a Digimon in your party or on the DigiFarm, you might be prompted to change the Digimon's personality skill after its type changes. Keep in mind that a Digimon can only have one personality skill. If you swap its existing skill out for a new one, you won't be able to switch it back until its type shifts back to match that skill. Even then, there's only a one-in-four chance that the new personality skill offered is the one you want.
