Profile
Cocytus Breath
Unlocks at level 1
Cooldown: -
Range: 1 Tile
Initial Energy: 400
Gabumon uses Petit Fire as his normal attack, dealing 100% damage to an enemy.
The first time Gabumon casts his Ultimate, he Digivolves into Metalgarurumon, permanently increasing his ATK by 40% and Haste by 25, and unlocking new skills.
When casting Ultimate as Metalgarurumon, he jumps to a target tile and unleashes Cocytus Breath in an area (4-tile long, 3-tile wide). This causes enemies within the area to lose 28% + 2% HP every 0.5s and freezes them for 3s.
Passive. Yamato does not directly join the battle, remaining invincible on the sidelines. When a battle starts and whenever Gabumon casts his Ultimate, Yamato cheers for Gabumon, increasing Gabumon's ATK by 15% for 5s. While this effect is active, Gabumon recovers an extra 150 Energy every second if he has not yet Digivolved into Metalgarurumon.

Review
Yamato & Gabumon (primarily Gabumon) is an S-Level Dimensional Mage that deals aoe damage and freezes enemies, while also providing utility through team healing.
Gabumon's mechanic revolves around Digivolving into MetalGarurumon, which grants him increased ATK, Haste, and an upgraded skill set. As Gabumon, his basic attack is Petite Flame, a ranged attack dealing damage to an enemy. While Yamato does not participate directly in combat, casting Gabumon's Ultimate causes Yamato to cheer, increasing Gabumon's ATK for 5s and generating Energy every second until he Digivolves. Upon casting his Ultimate, Gabumon transforms into MetalGarurumon and unlocks the rest of his skills.
After Digivolving into MetalGarurumon, his Ultimate becomes Cocytus Breath, dealing damage to enemies in a 4x3 area and freezing them for 3s. Immediately upon Digivolving, he uses Garuru Howling to boost his ATK and Haste for 16s, followed by Garuru Tomahawk, which pretty much deals damage to enemies in an area.
At Mythic+, he unlocks Grace Cross Freezer, a skill that fires 10 base missiles divided evenly among all enemies. The total number of missiles increases based on how many allies are deployed near Gabumon at the start of battle, and each missile deals splash damage to surrounding targets. With each Ultimate cast, once an enemy takes 4 instances of missile damage, subsequent missiles deal reduced damage to that target. At EX+10, any enemy that takes 4 missile hits is also frozen for 2s and receives additional damage. Finally, at Supreme+, once Gabumon Digivolves into MetalGarurumon, he heals nearby allies determined by the ones deployed near him at the start of battle every second for 8s. If Agumon is among the affected allies, this duration extends to 12s. Additionally, Gabumon gains an ATK increase for each ally receiving this effect.
Story and AFK Stages - Gabumon sees little use in this mode, as there are far better specialists available for pushing high-deficit stages.
Dream Realm - He is used in the top team for Midnight Harvester alongside Agumon, but outside that boss he doesn’t get used.
PvP - Gabumon provides solid utility through healing and crowd control through freezing, but lacks damage.
Legendary+ increases Gabumon’s (and MetalGarurumon’s) Energy Recovery from attacks, more so when he Digivolves.
Mythic+ makes MetalGarurumon gain a skill that fires missiles that deal damage evenly to all enemies.
EX+10 makes WarGreymon’s missiles freeze an enemy when they get hit by it 4 times.
Supreme+ gives MetalGarurumon and allies deployed near him at the start of battle healing and increases his ATK based on the amount of allies affected.
Gabumon (MetalGarurumon) is a decent specialist, but he is easily overshadowed by existing alternatives. If you still want to invest in Gabumon, a good starting point is Mythic+ and EX+10 for the added missile crowd control, followed by Supreme+ to unlock the team healing at the start of battle.
High Energy Recovery.
Good Crowd Control.
Team Healing.
Low Damage.
