Critical Points in Digimon Story Time Stranger is a crucial part of the turn-based battle system. When you hit an opponent’s weak point, it generates Critical Points (CP). You can then use the points to perform different techniques. Furthermore, CP will be crucial in challenging battles and can make the difference between a win and a loss. Here are the ways to obtain it:

Get CP Through Battle

Players can get CP, aka Critical Points, by performing virtually any attacks during a fight in Digimon Story Time Stranger, including regular attacks, which take SP. However, your CP intake largely depends on the Digimon you use and the enemy you are facing. Critical Points in the game then fill up a meter, which you can use to strengthen your Digimon further.

Unlock the Strategic CP Application Agent

You can unlock Agent Skills and spend Anomaly Points to get more advantages during battle. The Strategic CP Application Agent is one of the skills. It gives you the CP meter charged up by 10 for every Agent Rank. However, it takes a good bit of time to gather the Anomaly Points required for this particular perk.

The X-Arts in Digimon Story Time Stranger allows players to perform Cross Arts during fights. After that, you can charge up the Critical Point meter by attacking the enemy and hitting their weak points as mentioned. Once the gauge is filled, you can then use it to enhance your Digimon’s abilities.

However, this is a temporary boost, and it will wear off after a limited amount of time. But you can still get it back by repeating this entire process and filling up the meter once again.
