Danball Senki W 2.02 【Full Version】

If you are a casual player, version 1.50 (if you have it) is perfectly fine. But if you are:

Then hunting down Danball Senki W 2.02 is the ultimate quest. It represents a rare moment where a developer revisited a game not to add microtransactions, but to genuinely perfect the craft. In the world of little battlers, 2.02 is the heavyweight champion.

In versions 1.x, the “Gun-Pho” type LBX (gunslinger/artillery) dominated. A single charged shot could end a match in seconds. 2.02 finally addressed this:

A handful of LBX frames got subtle stat tweaks: If you are a casual player, version 1

Following the massive 2.00 update (which added the LBX:Wars story arc, new machines, and rank-up battles), 2.02 was a stability and competitive balance patch. It did not add new story content, but it fundamentally changed the post-game meta.

To understand the importance, here is a timeline of updates leading to 2.02:

| Version | Release Date | Key Changes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1.00 | Oct 2012 (Initial) | Launch version; unbalanced guns; missing AR data. | | 1.05 | Dec 2012 | Added first 5 AR cards; fixed save corruption bug. | | 1.50 (W Update) | Mar 2013 | Added online ranking; nerfed “Aerial Strike” infinite combo. | | 2.02 | Aug 2013 | Final patch. Infinity Tower, total rebalance, cross-play fix, 15 hidden LBXs. | Then hunting down Danball Senki W 2

Notably, there is no 2.00 or 2.01 publicly released – Level-5 jumped straight to 2.02, making the version number itself a curiosity.

Pre-2.02, post-game was limited to replaying story missions. Version 2.02 introduced the “Infinity Ranking Battle” – a 100-floor survival tower where enemy LBXs have exponentially inflated stats. Clearing floor 100 rewarded the secret LBX “Joker DX,” previously unavailable without cheating.

On November 27, 2013, Level-5 released Danball Senki W: Super Custom (a budget reprint with all DLC on-cart). However, that reprint’s save system is picky. To import your original 100-hour save, it must be from version 2.02 of the base game. Lower versions give a “Save data corrupted” error.
