U should talk abt ur digitwst au

YAYY YAYY!! THANK YOU!!!

Okay, so to start this off: Digitwst is a crossover AU I have that focuses on the freshman of twst as main characters in a digimon show. Hence the name: Digimon: Twisted Wonderland AKA Digitwst. I’ve had this AU for over a year now, so I bet that a lot of what I say here is actually something I’ve said before whether it be in a post or ramblings in tags or what have you. But of course, as I’ve had it so long some things have changed from their initial conception or been not really elaborated on. I’ll try to talk about as much as I can in this post, so yeah!

Now, as I said, it focuses on the freshman as it’s main characters, (with Ortho Shroud serving as the “season’s” 6th ranger character, more on her later) Yuu is the mainest protagonist being the goggle head of the group (for those who may not know, almost all of the digimon protagonists wear goggles, with the only exceptions I know of being Marcus/Masaru of Savers/Data Squad and Hiro of Ghost Game. So the goggle head is basically just the main character/leader of the group) in this AU Yuu uses she/they and her partner digimon is of course, the one and only Grim!

Grim is a special case, as he’s a digimon yet his name doesn’t end in the usual “Mon” suffix, nor can he digivolve. He also gets a slight redesign to make him look more like an actual digimon, which includes giving him the digital hazard. A thing in which I’ll have Wikimon explain for me for convenience:

Fun fact there is an actual real digimon called Grimmon, but he has like, no relation to our Grim, of course. All of this adds up to a bit of an overarching mystery about what the hell’s going on with Grim, but it’s not all too important right now

Oh yeah, everyone’s been aged down as well. 16 is a bit too old for a digimon protag gang for the most part, so all the freshmen are are 12 now (and probably need to get a new name for their group lol-) this is also very inspired by the OG Adventure, and so everyone (minus Ortho Shroud) went to Night Raven Camp before falling into a lake in the middle of the woods and waking up scattered around Sage’s Island in the Digiworld

Now, for the other kids and their digimon, I’ve heard the relationship between the kids and their digimon is usually a complement or a contrast as for the most part the series focuses on the kids and uses their relationship with their digimon as a conduit for the kids growth, so I’ll get into that

Ace and Funbeemon: If Ace is blunt and isn’t afraid to call people out, but also refuses to say he genuinely cares for his friends, Funbeemon is the opposite. She’s often sympathetic and caring, but has a hard time voicing her own frustrations, instead wishing to keep the peace. (Oh wow I’m just now realizing that sounds a lot like Trey lol) Funbeemon keeps Ace in line and Ace helps her stand up for herself, basically

Her line is as follows: Funbeemon -> Waspmon -> CannonBeemon (and probably split evolution to Vespamon) -> QueenBeemon

Similarly, Deuce’s partner, Crabmon is also a contrast to Deuce, with Crabmon being the one with the brain cells. He’s much more calm and rational than Deuce (who’s currently started going through his delinquent phase) and such.

His line is as follows: Crabmon -> Coelamon -> Whamon (perfect) (/split evolution probably to Divermon) -> Cthyllamon

Jack and Gaomon are very similar, but I feel like Gaomon is a bit more, idk, incompetent? Bumbling? A bit less strait laced? Not sure. Apologies, I know that Jack is your wife, he just doesn’t take up enough space in my brain for me to think about this often, sorry 😔

Anyways, Gaomon’s line is: Gaomon -> Garurumon -> WereGarurumon (?) -> FenrirLoogamon

Next up is Epel and Salamon. They are also very similar in things like their stubbornness! Epel did not want to be partners at first but Salamon wasn’t having any of it. By being able to see himself in Salamon and learning to love her, he grows to no longer hate femininity because if his partner is the coolest ever, and she can be very cute, feminine and beautiful, then while he might not like those things about himself he can learn to be okay with it

Salamon’s line is: Salamon -> Rabbitmon -> Angewomon -> LovelyAngemon

Ortho Shroud does technically have a partner, but it’s a bit complicated. I’ll get too it later I think, but for now it’s: Cutemon -> Boarmon -> Cerberumon -> Anubismon

Sebek and Pulsemon, AKA Zippy! Zippy is just like Sebek, but like, way more energetic. If Sebek is loud and boastful, then Zippy is loud and, again, energetic. Sebek will proudly proclaim how great Malleus is (even if his admiration is a bit diminished bc of the lack of fae heritage) then Zippy is running around him like a little kid. Think almost, ADHD little boy

Zippy’s line is: Pulsemon -> Runnermon -> Boutmon -> Kazuchimon

So, as I said it starts in a summer camp but that gets very quickly discarded when the six kids get isekai’d to the digital world via weird lake in forest and end up scattered. Fun fact, I’m actually writing a fic for Digitwst, one on ao3 but that’s been discontinued because I decided to rewrite it lol. The basic plot will stay roughly the same though.

Anyway, the first arc, the prologue if you will, is the kids becoming partners with their digimon and meeting up with each other. Some characters will be represented by digimon counterparts, because this is in fact a series where they get stuck in the digital world and so, digimon. Crowley is represented by Yatagaramon and Ambrose is Wisemon. They’ll appear sometimes to help or ask for some. In the prologue, they advise the kids (I need to get them a group name lol) to find the Great Seven, mega level digimon who’ve been around as long as anyone can remember. They say that they’re lucky that Sage’s island is a port island because a ship is setting off to the Queendom of Roses - Queen Rosemon’s domain - very soon and that they’re lucky should board the ship and try to get an audience with her to ask for her help. In the meantime, they’ll do their own research, just in case

And so, there starts the basic story loop. I want their adventure in the digital world to last about 10 months, to reference the fact that twst takes place over a school year. About a week or so I wanna say is spent on the prologue, then about a month or so for each arc after that, with the exception of book 7 taking place in month 10 as their last adventure before they return home, with about 4 months to get in some event stories

Now, finally, the thing we (me) have all been waiting for, Ortho Shroud!

To start this section off, I will need to establish something: during the duration of the story, the time conversion rate is 1 minute to 1 month. Meaning the 10 months the kids spend in the digital world is a mere 10 minutes in the analog world (what I call the ‘real world’ because that name implies that the digital one isn’t). An important thing to note is that Ortho Shroud is not a robot in this AU. She is just an AI, and in that means that she has no body in the analog world, and cannot enter it. The most she can do is appear in screens, and even then she usually just resides in the app that Idia made for her. A single day at that conversion rate is 120 years Digiworld time. Not to mention that the time conversion rate doesn’t even stay consistent. Sometimes it’ll be a year a second, sometimes it’ll be 6 months for every one month. Basically, what I’m getting at is: Ortho Shroud looks to canon! Lilia being nearly 700 years old and says those are rookie numbers

Please remember that during all of this, she is still just a 12 year old. Sure she may be so old that she’s stopped counting, but mentally she’s twelve, and having to go through this. She’s not having a good time, basically

This is worsened by her working at STYX. At first she was fine with it. She got to research as much as she liked and got to visit her brother whenever she wanted! She was being helpful! But eventually, those visits to Idia became the only times she left STYX. The director of STYX, Lord Plutomon of the Great Seven, favored her immensely. He would spend all his days in Tartarus telling everyone that if they needed to spend to him, tell Ortho Shroud and she would tell him instead. It’s fine, that’s fine! Only then all the work that he was supposed to be doing, and she was basically the acting director of STYX. Totally fine, totally. If only the lord acted like she was his favorite. Whenever they would talk, he would be cold and distant, seemingly trying to get the conversation over with as quick as he could

Fine! That’s fine! She’s his favorite, but he also hates her, amazing! At least she has her brother, right? She still has those moments of being able to leave her duties and just hang out with her brother, right? Well…

Let’s just say they have… some slight miscommunication issues. As in, they never tell each other anything truly important. Hell, Ortho Shroud hasn’t even told him that she’s a girl! Or that she’s not eight! And Idia, isn’t better either. At least in canon, the two can stand side by side and touch each other. They’re on the same level. But in Digitwst, they’re locked behind a screen, I actually drew something for this but never ended up posting it lol

This is basically how they see each other, both literally and figuratively. Take it as you will, I can only hope that this is making you as mentally ill about them as I am.

At least in canon, Ortho knows why she was made, for sure no questions. But here? All she has is theories and red string, which makes the fact that she and her ‘brother’ have never met in person sting even more

She says the only good thing about STYX (and she’s tempted to say her life in general, but she does truly love her brother still) is her dogs. Cerberumon is always there for her, and seems to genuinely care for her (even if she is a bit suspicious) and the two Dobermons, even if they can’t speak. But even then, they’re still just coworkers. Ones she would kill herself if they weren’t at work together with, but still, just coworkers. (Not that she’d actually kill herself over that, but, Y’know)

I could go way more into her and her story, but that’s it’s own 40 page essay lol. So to wrap it up, Ortho Shroud, AKA Adesius of Digimon Twisted Wonderland, I diagnose you with depression and probably anger issues as well. Have fun!

Anyway, that’s it for now! If my autistic/ADHD ramblings have intrigued you despite not knowing much/anything about digimon, feel free to ask about it again!

WASP REVIEW - WASPMON, FUNBEEMON, AND CANNONBEEMON (DIGIMON)

[Image IDs: Three official renders of the listed Digimon, those being Waspmon, FunBeemon, and CannonBeemon /End IDs.]

Well, this will be interesting as someone whose only experience with the Digimon franchise is whatever Karina from Drawfee has explained about the franchise. But I'm gonna try my best to understand what we've got going on here, which shouldn't be too difficult! Let's just hop into the deep end here! (Apologies in advance to the Digimon enjoyers)

Starting with Waspmon, this Digimon is very clearly at least mostly mechanical, which I suppose makes my job here a little bit easier, as it's clear they were not going for accuracy. Even still, I do have to point out some things. It seemingly only has one pair of improperly segmented legs (unless those rib-like parts around its mesosoma are legs too), with more human-like hands, and these big armored shoulder plates (supposedly propellers?) that are perhaps only comparable to the large tibiae of shield-handed wasps. They also seem to have only one set of wings but I can't say for sure. The head seems accurate enough, with even the right number of eyes, in the right positions! That's pretty rare! The antennae are a bit too straight, not segmented enough, with feathered ends I've never really seen in a wasp, although they do remind me of some notably different featherings on certain species, such as a number of members of the genus Dendrocerus. There are other things I could point out, like the abdominal spines and laser stinger, but given its mechanical nature, I'll leave it at the fact that the abdomen is too big, with perhaps the closest example I can give in relation to the roundness of the gaster being that of gall wasps!

[Image Sources: bugguide.net, Jim Moore, Wikimedia Commons, S.E. Thorpe, and Flickr, Judy Gallagher | Image IDs: Three photos, one of a black and yellow shield-handed wasp on a white surface, the next of a black specimen of the genus Dendrocerus in front of a white background, the last one of a black and red Cynipid gall wasp on a brown wooden surface /End IDs.]

As for FunBeemon, this one seems a lot more natural on nature, with a very clear inspiration too. Body's properly segmented, the color could stand to be a tiny bit darker though. The correct number of wings, legs, and eyes. But the eyes that are supposed to be compound are these glassy, mammalian eyes, and the legs aren't quite colored or segmented right, with too few claws on most legs as well. The antennae seem to be segmented properly though! Even with little lines that seem to imply the presence of the flagellomeres, not quite clear on that though. The mandibles shouldn't be grey like that, and the head in general is a bit too wide and round. It has the same strange abdominal spines as Waspmon, which shouldn't be there, as I don't believe any species of bee has those. But they did get the "serrated" (barbed) stinger right, even if it is far too thick!

[Image Sources: Jupiter's Wasp House, ie Myself, and Cambridge University | Image IDs: A photo of a black and yellow honey bee on a human hand, followed by four images of a honey bee's stinger viewed on an extremely close up scale /End IDs.]

Finally, when it comes to CannonBeemon... What's going on here? Don't get me wrong here, it's awesome, but it does also look like Polistes dominula got freaky with a FusionFall Shattergun. All bits aside, this Digimon does fall into essentially the same category as Waspmon, it's too mechanical to really bother with the details, this one even moreso. Everything I said about Waspmon's general head area still applies. It has the right wing count, though they are thin for something as heavy as this thing has to be (the Wiki says 38g but I'm not sure about that for something so big and metallic, not gonna lie). It has only four, very short legs, with little grabby hands at the end, which while incorrect is actually pretty cute. The shape is too abnormal to compare to any real wasp, though I do quite like the use of hexagonal cell shapes here in reference to real social bees' and wasps' hive structures. That's about it for that, though.

Now, what about their behaviors? Well, as one might expect, Waspmon is the defensive soldier type, patrolling the viscinity of the hive, being aggressive enough to divebomb Digimon that get too close. Now, I won't deny that wasps do divebomb as an offensive move against potential hive invaders, but they act on far more than distance to the hive, their reaction to an individual's presence is based on a multitude of factors, such as movement/body language, their level of familiarity with the threat, and of course, actual actions taken by the potential threat to harm the hive, among other things. That said, these Digimon do seem to be quite intelligent, as the wiki states "The antenna-parts on its head have high reconnaissance ability", IE they are able to gather information essentially at the level of a special operative. A real wasp can remember quite a lot, though it definitely takes in more than just what it can detect through smell.

CannonBeemon is also a line of defense for the hive, though being much more powerful, both of these Digimon use lasers instead of venom, as you could've probably guessed from their mechanical structures, which is, of course, not true for actual wasps. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that wasps don't fire lasers though. Whether or not these two soldiers hunt for or feed on anything is unclear.

As for FunBeemon, it also doesn't seem to be out gathering food either, but it does gather some materials, those being bits of "home data", to build up the hive the same way many social Hymenopterans would gather wood, dirt, or the material needed to make wax. This Digimon gets along well with plant Digimon, which should probably be the case for all the rest of them too but whatever. These ones, too, also attack... With projectiles, they fire off their stingers like arrows. This is a surprisingly common thing amongst representations of stinging Hymenopterans in media? strange... They also have a second ability to summon allies, which is unfortunately, for whatever reason, referred to as "88 Call". Apparently this is because 8 in Japanese can be read as "Hachi", which is also a word that refers to eusocial Hymenopterans, like honey bees, but of course, two eights can also be read in a far, far worse way. Different potential connotations aside, the description of this move says that FunBeemon summons allies with its antennae, which, as far as I know, the alarm pheromones of bees are not produced in or near the antennae.

Back to the material gathering and building of the hive though! It turns out that FunBeemon isn't the only one who helps to build the hive, as it's aided by-

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! - FORGEBEEMON

[Image ID: The official render of ForgeBeemon /End IDs.]

This guy! Not much to say here in terms of accuracy, as I don't think they're really trying for that here. But I do really love that they accounted for its ocelli in the mask design! Coulda used a bit more space around the compound eyes though. It's got antennae, which aren't segmented right, but they're present, and bend in the right place. It also has wings that are even tinier than CannonBeemon! Its two moves are also defense by way of offense, with a saw-like stinger, and two extra robotic arms that can produce a powerful electric discharge.

It's not called a "Forge" for nothing, either, as these bees are the ones that take materials and bond them together with an adhesive called "Honey Glue" (Don't think that's how that works, but oh well) that's produced in its abdomen, much like how honey bees produce wax!

[Image Source: Hive And Honey Apiary | Image ID: A photo of a black and yellow honey bee producing wax from its abdominal glands /End IDs.]

But, if they have a hive, and live in the same eusocial manner as some real honey bees and vespid wasps, then they must have a Queen! I wonder what it looks like-

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! - QUEENBEEMON

[Image ID: The official render of QueenBeemon /End IDs.]

... That's just a human woman in a costume... Are y'all sure this is a Digimon?... Well, I mean, it still has absolute power over the hive, so I guess yeah, that's their queen, but... Huh.

Well QueenBeemon gets a badass army and a badass mech chair with venom shot arms and laser turrets at least. Surely that's the end of them and that's all that needs to be s-

HERE COMES A- OK JUST GET IT OVER WITH - VESPAMON AND TIGER VESPAMON

[Image IDs: The official renders of Vespamon and Tiger Vespamon /End IDs.]

Alright, more guys in suits. Human status is less clear given the fact they have no skin showing, but they're definitely humanoid... I can at least comment on the fact they seem to be designed to be male, which, if they're meant to be soldiers/workers too (Where are the drones??) that wouldn't be the case, as the vast majority of male social wasps (including bees) do not have defensive capabilities and don't leave the hive nearly as often as the females.

But that HAS to be it? Right? RIGH-

OH COME ON - HONEYBEEMON, FLYBEEMON, JEWELBEEMON, AND DINOBEEMON

[Image IDs: The official renders of HoneyBeemon, FlyBeemon, JewelBeemon, and DinoBeemon /End IDs.]

... I'm not even gonna bother.

WaspBeemon and FunBeemon (Ranked on accuracy): 6.5/10

CannonBeemon and ForgeBeemon (Accuracy not considered, ranked on design): 5/10 - 6/10

Everyone Else: [DISQUALIFIED]

Note

i got my take for the digi partners for each of the tf2 mercs:

soldier: kamemon (evoline: poyomon - bukamon - kamemon - gwappamon - shawjamon - jumbo gamemon);

heavy: bearmon and/or gulimon (evolines: bearmon: punimon - tsunomon - bearmon - grizzlymon - monzaemon - shin monzaemon; gulimon: jyarimon - gigimon - guilmon - growlmon - wargrowlmon - gallantmon/megidramon);

medic: ((both his partners have "maniac" tendencies like him)) biyomon (female) and/or sorcermon (male) (evolines: biyomon: puwamon - pinamon - biyomon -saberdramon - crowmon - varodurumon; sorcermon: pichimon - pagumon (white with blue eyes) - gomamon - sorcermon - baalmon/wisemon - beelzemon/belphemon/seraphimon);

sniper: loogamon ((his loyal hunting and spycheck "doggy")) (evoline: fusamon - bowmon - loogamon - loogarmon - soloogarmon - fenrilloogamon);

engineer: kotemon and/or fanbeemon (evoline: kotemon: metal koromon - kapurimon - kotemon - gladimon - knightmon - leopardmon; fanbeemon: pupumon - puromon - fanbeemon - waspmon - cannonbeemon - tigerwaspmon);

demoman: mushroomon ((he also loves explosions, but when he is in his mega form he also has drunk tendencies when with his tamer)) (evoline: yuramon - budmon - mushroomon - cherrymon - puppetmon);

pyro: flame wizardmon ((he has pyromaniac tendencies too, and sometimes if he is seen in pyro vision not only him but also the other mercs partners would look like cute fully harmless tamagothi creatures versions of themselves)) (evoline: mokumon - demi meramon - impmon - wizardmon/wizardmon x antibody/flame wizardmon - mistymon/baalmon x - dynasmon/gallantmon x/beelzemon x)

spy: mikemon ((his "kitty" who is also his precious "princess")) (evoline: yukimi botamon - nyaromon (with a tortoiseshell tabby like coloration) - mikemon - bastemon - lilithmon/magnadramon);

scout: terriermon and/or angoramon (evolines: terriermon: zerimon - gummymon - terriermon - gargomon - rapidmon/rapidmon (armor) - mega gargomon/black mega gargomon; angoramon: pyonmon - bosamon - angoramon - symbare angoramon - lamortmon - diarbbitmon);

ms. pauling: lunamon and/or lopmon ((like scout with ms. pauling, his respective partners also are in love with them (terriermon with lunamon and angoramon with lopmon)) (evolines: lunamon: pafumon - moonmon - lunamon - lekismon - crescemon - dianamon; lopmon: conomon - kokomon - lopmon - turuiemon/wendigomon/prariemon - antylamon (good) - cherubimon (good/virtue)/cherubimon (evil/vice)

how would be like the scenario of them first meeting their partners after a bunch mysterious looking eggs were left abandoned on RED base?

Oooooo those are all some interesting picks!

Gonna be honest with you - I'd imagine they'd try to eat it at first. Soldier would at least, maybe roping Demo (probably drunk) into helping him

No one stops them either. The worst they'll do is set the kitchen on fire and make a bunch of mess with the eggs. That's not too crazy

How very wrong they were

The eggs - All at once, as Soldier was prepared to crack them - hatched and there was just a bunch of Baby Digimon everywhere

The mercenaries are all trying to catch these giggly and slippery little guys, maybe shooting at them along the way. It's very chaotic, paired with a lot of yelling and maybe comedically girlish screams

The only ones who are dealing with this calmly are probably Spy, Engineer, and Pyro. Spy and Engineer are mostly calm because the little guys aren't really hurting anyone, just being annoying by causing chaos. Pyro is calm because they like the Digimon a lot

No one knows what Digimon are because there's no media about it (googled to check if they would have come out when TF2 is set - They did not)

Pauling is contacted eventually to help. When she gets there, she is promptly jumped by all the babies, who use her as a shield to hide from the Mercs

Some are hanging out with Pyro instead, using their presence as a shield

Eventually, all of them are caught and things are settled. It's very difficult to keep it settled, but yeah. More help on the battlefield :D

Re-visiting the "Knowledge armor evolutions" idea because I had a brain blast about Armadimon/Digmon.

MetallifeKuwagamon is gold with purple markings, which gives it a reasonably strong visual connection to Digmon. And then RhinoKabuterimon as the ultimate works so well I'm astonished neither I nor KarnEX thought of it. It's big and bulky, it has a shell, it's down on all its legs, it's gold and purple (more of a Gamecube indigo and that becomes the dominant color, but you get the idea), and it has fin-like protrusions where ears would be. On paper, it's basically the platonic ideal of what an Armadimon evo should be. I'm actually happier with this than I am with any idea I've had for its natural evolution path.

I already discussed my line for Wormmon/Searchmon. Climbmon and Shivamon have perfect synergy with them, you could parse a narrative about searching for enlightenment, and Shivamon has a little worm buddy. I actually really love this one. In fact, this line feels completely organic as a Wormmon evolution line.

I could have given the Funbeemon evos to V-mon/Honeybeemon, but I decided Dinobeemon actually does work the best because of the whole "V-mon wearing an exoskeleton" commonality. And then GranKuwagamon is a no-brainer since it's the default evolution of Dinobeemon. When you think about it, this line is canon compliant since Dinobeemon and GranKuwagamon legitimately are V-mon evolutions...Just in the same way Paildramon and Imperialdramon are Wormmon evolutions. GrandisKuwagamon Honey Mode also exists, but that feels a little bit cheap since it's literally a digixross using Honeybeemon. It's also not in the builder.

Hawkmon/Flybeemon is where I start to moan about the lack of options again. BanchoStingmon is red and black, and you could give it some poetic meaning that Yolei's partner would evolve into the final form of Ken's partner. I could have put Jewelbeemon as the perfect level to bridge the gap, but being green is literally the opposite of being red. Vespamon does a good enough job in that slot, it's got robotic armor with black stripes. Hawkmon talks and acts like a samurai while Vespamon is an elite knight. idk

Patamon/Mothmon...we really do need more insect digimon that aren't bees or rhinoceros beetles or stag beetles. I'm defaulting to KarnEX's idea of Cannonbeemon simply because of the gun abdomen. And then TigerVespamon essentially just because it was still available.

Tailmon/Butterflamon gets Eosmon, also KarnEX's idea, because Morphomon's natural evolutions were never revealed. We could have had a full line of butterfly fairy digimon that could have been used here, but alas. Queenbeemon also works as the ultimate stage, but I like Eosmon Ultimate because it's at least butterfly-themed and its actual body is gold so there actually is a good amount of visual cohesion. It's also very goddess-like which ties it to Angewomon and Ophanimon.

Archetype: Royal Base

Debuts: BT-18

Last updated: BT-19

Boss monster: QueenBeemon, TigerVespamon

Main tamer: Winr/Saikiyo

Additional tamers: Kisakata Kousuke, Xu Yulin, Musha Yuuji

Fun thing about the bees: they have like five traits. They're Cyborg, they're X-Antibody, they're Royal Base, half of them are LIBERATOR, and then they're all Rule: Treated as [Insectoid]. What this means is that, even though there's only one in-archetype level 3 right now, you can stock up on searchers. Kokuwamon X-Antibody will hit two out of three on a search. Kokabuterimon will hit one out of four. Never will you hurt for draw power!

The big thing the bees bring to the table as an archetype is the concept of face-up security cards. Previously, your security was always a private area, but the bees can set shields face-up, and many of them have a new type of Security effect that triggers while they're face-up instead of when they're checked.

Tamer Winr/Saikiyo (BT19-084): Gains you a memory at start of main if you have a face-up shield. By suspending him, you can evolve one of your digimon into a face-up shield, then place another bee face-up in security.

Level 2 Puroromon (BT18-004): At the start of your main, you can place a bee face-up to take your top security to the hand (thus gradually accumulating face-up shields while your total security remains the same). Since this triggers no matter what the egg was evolved into, one might consider running Ukkomons to speed up egg usage.

Level 3 FunBeemon (BT18-044): Same effect as Puroromon but as an on-play instead of start of main. Gives a flat +1k on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get +1k.

Level 4 Waspmon (BT18-046): None of your opponent's digimon with less DP than the wasp can swing at security. Gives a flat +1k on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get +1k.

Level 4 ForgeBeemon (BT19-048): When either player's effect would take one of your bees out of the battle area, prevent it by placing this digimon as a face-up shield (without taking your top security to the hand). Gives a flat +1k on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get +1k.

Level 5 CannonBeemon (BT18-052): When evolving or on play, de-evolve one of your opponent's digimon by 1 card for each of your face-up shields. Gives "trash your opponent's top security when you delete an opponent's digimon in battle and survive" on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get Blocker.

Level 5 Vespamon (BT19-052): When evolving or on play, delete one of your opponent's digimon with a play cost of 2+2n or less where you have n face-up shields. Gives "trash your opponent's top security when you delete an opponent's digimon in battle and survive" on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get Blocker.

Level 6 TigerVespamon (BT18-056): Piercing and Reboot face effects. When evolving, suspend as many opponent digimon as you have face-up shields, then none of their digimon can unsuspend. When another digimon is deleted, unsuspend.

Level 6 QueenBeemon (BT19-053): Alliance face effect. When attacking, play a bee from your face-up shields with its play cost reduced by 8. Whenever one of your bees would leave the battle area outside of battle, place it as a face-up shield instead.

If you have a TigerVespamon with sources, and Yulin mindlinked for the alliance, you can potentially knock out five security at once (alliance check piercing into an enemy digimon, level 5 inherit trashes top security, TigerVespamon unsuspends when a digimon is deleted, do another alliance check) then hybrid for game or something.

Build Advice

As this archetype is literally brand-new, the community is still experimenting with deckbuilding. Here's a basic, no-frills example:

["BT18-004","BT18-004","BT18-004","BT18-004","P-106","P-106","P-106","ST15-16","ST15-16","ST15-16","ST17-12","ST17-12","BT15-087","BT15-087","BT19-084","BT19-084","BT19-084","BT19-084","BT16-082","BT16-082","BT18-044","BT18-044","BT18-044","BT18-044","BT9-046","BT9-046","P-118","P-118","P-118","P-123","ST17-02","ST17-02","BT18-046","BT18-046","BT18-046","BT18-046","BT19-048","BT19-048","BT19-048","BT19-048","BT18-052","BT18-052","BT18-052","BT18-052","BT19-052","BT19-052","BT19-052","BT19-052","BT18-056","BT18-056","BT18-056","BT19-053","BT19-053","BT19-053"]

Notice the lack of a Quartzmon, unusual in green decks. For one thing, Quartzmon isn't an X-Antibody, and for another, I mean, who needs level 7s when your top end and mindlink tamer have Alliance? (also your friends will probably hate you if you quartz for game)

Due to the [Insectoid] trait, many people opt to include one or two of Motimon to get extra swings off. I personally have found that I need to get as much face-up security as possible early on, so I prefer to max out on Puroromon instead. For the same reason, the classic RhinoKabuterimon might find a home here, but I'd personally feel apprehensive about including cards without the X-Antibody trait.

glad to see those spreading the truth
