Armor Chips
Armor-type evolution requires specific Digi-Eggs as catalyst items to unlock new forms in the digivolution tree, with no consumable resource cost.
The game features 8 of the 8 standard Crests and their corresponding Digi-Eggs (Armor type), as canon from Digimon Adventure 02 establishes 8 standard Crests: Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Sincerity, Reliability, Hope, and Light. (Kindness appears only in a movie, and Destiny/Darkness is not a standard Crest.) Each crest corresponds to a particular Digi-Egg, and these are utilized to open the digivolution tree. Players can advance their Digimon's development by using the Digi-Egg item itself, not by utilizing a Tamer's DNA Charge (which is strictly a battle attack power-up mechanic in games like Digimon World 3).
- Required Tool
- D-3 (Digivice)
Lore & Background
Each crest corresponds to a particular Digi-Egg used to open the digivolution tree. After combining certain elements, an entity of its digivolution tree becomes available. Each Digi-Egg serves as a catalyst item for Armor evolution; digivolving does not consume any resource from the Digi-Egg itself, as there is no 'Crest Power' mechanic in Adventure 02 canon.
Reader's Guide
To unlock armor-type evolution, players must utilize a Tamer's DNA Charge. Upon reaching the digivolution limit or completing certain quests, the digivolution tree becomes automatically available. Players can advance development by combining elements to make an entity of the digivolution tree available, noting that each Digi-Egg has a distinct quantity of DNA which is consumed during the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Armor Chips?
These artifacts function as digital representations of the eight standard Crests and their corresponding Digi-Eggs from Digimon Adventure 02. They serve as key catalysts required to unlock specific Armor Evolution paths for partner Digimon within the game.
How do I use Armor Chips?
Players must utilize a D-3 Digivice alongside these items to activate the evolution tree without needing DNA Charge attacks. The artifact acts as a permanent tool rather than a temporary battle buff during development phases.
Which Crests are included with Armor Chips?
The set covers Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Sincerity, Reliability, Hope, and Light according to established series canon. Variations such as Kindness or Darkness do not appear in this standard collection of eight types.
Do Armor Chips get used up after evolution?
These items are not consumed upon use and remain available for future digivolution attempts within the tree structure. This allows trainers to repeatedly access different Armor forms without needing to reacquire the artifacts constantly.
Why are Armor Chips important in gameplay?
They provide the only method to reach specialized Armor Digimon that standard leveling or DNA Charge mechanics cannot unlock alone. Accessing these forms significantly expands the strategic options and roster available to the player.
