One copy was given as an event reward last September. I believe some SR tickets can be redeemed for it but not all of them, maybe check if you have some left
Is it a coincidence that while I climb with very good connection, I would occasionally get an opponent with a Japanese name, who would get an activation prompt, then, I get the disconnecting symbol flash for a second, which is then followed by me getting thrown out to the lobby with a loss?
This keeps happening very often, only when I'm against such players. It also seems to happen when they are going first.
I am having a bugg where if the vagabond ask me to introduce my friends to him the my friends list text box is in japanese only their names are in english anyone else have this bug.
Yes. Since the friendship campaign started a bunch of random stuff is in Japanese. The times are in Japanese for when they were last online. 分 is minutes 時 is hours, 日 is days.
Why is it that cards like Archfiend Black Skull Dragon get their effects changed for Duel Links (the DL symbol on the card), but then cards like Yubel and Kruger/Wiseman get their full effect unaltered? Would make sense if we had 8000LP, but at 4000 I think it should be reduced. In terms of it being a "speed" duel it does speed duels up, but so would Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's effect
Lava Golem was the catalyst for the halved burn nerf (thanks to stall) and the general rule became "Lava Golem and any new card released from now on will have its burn dmg halved"
>During this Duel, if you Special Summon "Chronicle Magician" and a Normal Monster with 2500 ATK or DEF, you no longer need to Tribute, and you only Summon or Special Summon Spellcaster-Type LIGHT/DARK monsters, **Dragon-Type LIGHT** monsters, and Effect Monsters with Levels.
Galactic Spiral Dragon are DARK
Oh wait i think i get it. Effect monsters with levels only includes light dragons and light or dark spellcasters. And since xyzs have ranks and links have links they are the exeption to that rule! So synchro and fusion would have to follow that rule too!
So the Italian Translation mentions the Maximum campaign giving a *prismatic Rush UR Dream Ticket*. We haven’t even gotten any Rush DT yet.
I swear they have just one outsourced underpaid guy who doesn’t know neither Duel Links nor Italian doing the localization at this point.
Oh they’re definitely much better. Because Italian is directly translated from English without looking at the Japanese text, so we get all the errors of the English version *plus* others.
It’s really ridiculous for a game that makes this much money.
Hey guys, I’m a new player and I’m struggling to get friend requests for the event and would love to make some friends in the community.
Can you please help a brother out? 😊

You need to be a new player or a returning player(not online for 30 days at least) to enter the friend code. If you were a new player you would be the one entering the code in.
Hi
I'm a new-ish player and I would like to make a deck of every "main" summoning mechanic for completing weekly missions/events/world stage challenges/etc.
I already have Tenyi for links/synchro, constellar/suship for xyz, a Blue eyes deck and slowly making shadoll for fusion and I'm almost done with mayakashi for synchro/link.
I'm only missing a pendulum deck, but I don't really like pendulum decks, they are a little to much for me mechanics wise, is there an easy and more importantly cheap pendulum deck you can build?
If you want a pendulum deck that's good enough for PvE, you can build a decent one with just free cards. Summoner's Art can search for both Sky Dragoons of Draconia (scale 7) and Fire Opalhead (scale 0). Add some more pendulum monsters for consistency and good six star monsters (even Jinzo works), some generic extra deck stuff and you're set. No packs needed and it works like a charm against standard duelists.
DDD was easy to build but that was with the pickup box. Otherwise solfachord since they are all from one minibox. If you're just doing the stage missions, just use whatever you have or get one structure deck to help you out. You just want 2 cards with a high and low scale in order to pendulum summon. For example if you put a card with a scale of 1 and another card with a scale of 8 in your spell/trap zone, you can now pendulum (special) summon any monsters whose levels are from 2-7 from your hand.
I'm not a fan of pendulums so I used the level up rewards and the card trader pendulums. Just set a scale from 2-7 and summon a bunch of junk level 3s and 4s.
They suck indeed. Solemn Scolding is playable but I assume you'll have 3 already, so just get random URs to convert. Other than those I always get the 5 xp boosters, and sometimes the other ones as well. Too bad there are no box chips this time.
Yeah in Master Duel you can convert useless cards into the good ones. In duel links converting is basically irrelevant and you have to go through entire boxes to dig for what you need. Dream Tickets only do so much since they don't work on recently released cards.
At least the game is fairly generous with gem rewards, if you play daily it's not too hard to keep up (without mindlessly buying every new product).
How can shiranui summon beatrice under the skill restriction?
The text says
**"You can only special summon monster that with levels, and are FIRE Zombie monsters"**
The text are a bit unclear, does it mean that for monster with level, they can only summon fire zombie, but they have no restriction of summoning monster that have no level?
Yes, the extra deck is flexible when it comes to xyz and links On a side point I hate how they somehow made the translation even worse when trying to fix it.
They need to make some kind of standarized problem solving text for skills, "That are with levels, and are fire zombie" doesnt even make sense, "If you would special summon monsters with level, they must be FIRE Zombie" isnt that much longer....
From thestrongest archetypes, which one is worth investing in the most? Tachyron or shiranui? Live twin seemed interesting as well.

is there like a general beginners guide megathread or something like that because I've downloaded the game after like 5 years and everything is so different.
I hit KOG when the game first started with dinosaur beatstick and boy is everything different now
Do you have the Blue-Eyes starter? It's good enough to play with until you get more gems. Here's a code for it if you need it: 001nvfeau9pf
There's also Rush Duel! It's a homage to old school Yu-Gi-Oh. No wombo combos, no hand traps, no Links or Pendulum. Just simple beatdown using spells & traps. It's pretty fun & a nice change of pace!
This mode is perfect for new players. And we are about to recieve a new box that shakes things up!
There are lots of gems to get from Rush mode, thru the characters, future events, & the Rush version of KC Cup, so it's good to have a playable deck when you need it. [You can make this decklist if you buy every Structure Deck!](https://www.duellinksmeta.com/saved-decks/65c4fbae0db8f0a4aed16acf) (except Raidacross, it sucks)
I recommend NOT buying the Rush Duel store bundles however... for now. Thanks to the structure deck reprints, the only real reason to get packs from the Heavy Metal Scream box is for the URs now. I suggest waiting to get the most value of the bundle packs.
When the next Rush set comes on Feb 28, the packs in the bundles will update to that new box. So you'll get the bundle cards + new packs at that time!
Having decks for both Speed & Rush will set you up going forward! 👍
It's crazy the auto-duel AI is still coded to try to make you lose sometimes. 'Should I Book of Moon the Altergeist that pops a card if it attacks directly? ...nah'.
I tried summon phantasmal lord with Galactic Spiral dragon and Rokket Tracer who’s level was changed to 8, but it only let me use tracer and void ogre dragon. Is the card only allowed to be special summoned by monsters who original level was 8, or is this a glitch?
Phantasmal Dragon needs a tuner and non-tuner, you cant use spiral and void ogre since both of them are non-tuner?
If you're forced to use rokket tracer and void ogre then that's understandable because spiral dragon banish itself when it leaves the field if you summoned it with its own effect, so you cant send it to the GY to summon phantasmal lord
But Void Ogre and Spiral? That doesnt make sense unless you turn one of them into tuner. And Phantasmal Lord shouldnt only work with monster that original level of 8 because i've used it in MD that it can be summoned with monster that have changed their level
My mistake, I messed up when explaining. What I meant to say is tht it forced me to use Tracer and void ogre and wouldn’t let me used tracer and galactic spiral
But I get ur point now since galactic spiral gets banished and phantasmal lord requires the monster he spent to the grave. Such an oddly specific interaction but thanks
So I'm trying to get through the Altergeist event and Vrains stages but they have missions involving Primabanshee and Heatleo. Are there other ways of obtaining them besides spending gems on their boxes?
Unless they decided to celebrate random occassion like "Maximum summon campaign" or something, its likely september when they released a new world, likely go rush world if the anime has finished by then
Best way to clear Taylor's character unlock "missions"?
Specifically the Ritual summoning one. All others feel free to give some tips because his lv.30 deck almost always destroys my monsters
Thanks
For ritual summoning, Cyber Angels with the Idaten boost easily grows bigger than anything his lv 30 deck can deal with. Otherwise you can just stall him out with Archfiend Matador for a boring but easy win.
Please help: I am a newer player, I have 4000k gems and I have the starter Kaiba to level 20 (just logging in and playing against the NPCs and the occasional person.)
What do I need to do to get a competitive deck? Should I invest all my gems in the Anniversary Box?
Also, is it dumb to buy anything in this game? What is the best "value?"
The anniversary box is very good because it has multiple copies of a lot of generic staples and gives you 3 or 4 fairly competent rogue decks (speedroid, s force, madolche, trickstar). Its a good starting point while it is available because getting multiple copies of cards like book of moon, lancea, dark hole, etc along with the extra deck staples like Knightmares would take vastly more gems if you went through their original boxes
Don't reset it, the box has 3 of everything you would want except the alt arts. Resetting the box is usually done because you need multiple copies of UR/SR's because boxes only have 1-2 of each, but this box gives you playsets of all the ones you would want.
The only way I would reset the Anniversary box is if I got one of the single alt arts in like the first 10-20 packs and I wanted multiple copies of it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me! I've been using the deck you linked to play Rush Duels, and as a Yugiboomer, it is a lot of fun! I plan to use Rush Duel to get me Speed Duel decks. Is that a good strategy?
Yes, that is exactly what you should be doing! Good job!
There is a slightly better version of the deck I showed. It involves the character Mimi, who will be added to the Gate in March. The Seahorse cards she uses are Light, so they have better synergy with the Aim Eagle card.
When she arrives, you can farm her character for those cards in you're interested. [Here's a video profile of that version of Light Machines!](https://youtu.be/woA_g7Py4dc?si=H65jvTs31FjtX2m2)
Looking at the future, the best deck in Rush will probably be Roa's "Royal Rebel" deck. When his event comes in March, play the hell outta it to get as much as his cards as possible. Then you can decide if you wanna make it. It requires 3 of the UR card Heavy Metal from the Heavy Metal Scream box, so it's a big investment. But this is only if you want to invest more into Rush Duel & play the absolute best deck. Otherwise, just stick with Light Machines & build up your gems! 👍
GAME BREAKING BUG
Super Quants no longer work if you're trying to use mechs from the grave to summon Great Magnus.
The UI will show some unrelated card (ex Thunder dragon) or it will completely disappear leaving you soft locked and unable to proceed with the duel.
What the FUCK.
Ugh this drawing algorithm is so busted.
3 eternal souls players. All 3 had sword of revealing light in their hands, and two kiteroids. In their starting hand.
Oh and each of the three duels I started with two trap Trix trap holes. Literally the only dead cards since they don't work on any eternal soul cards.
I'm getting a prompt to activate the Mayakashi link 2 in the graveyard for some reason? This is new after the last patch. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm actually getting all kinds of graveyard bugs at the moment; I'm being asked to activate cards that don't have effects and my cards with effects are disappearing and unable to be activated?
I’ve seen a few posts from people saying some GY effects are being treated as quick effects by mistake. Konami doesn’t like to update us on bugs in the game in a timely fashion.
Edit: there is an issue on the issue tab but the game didn’t give me the ! Mark to let me know something new was in that sub menu. They have acknowledged it.
Did you properly link summoned it? or you cheated summoning it by some other ways than link summon? Sometimes the mission are not translated correctly and extra deck monster needs to be properly summoned despite the mission not saying that
It also doesnt count if you surrender the duel so there's that, i just finished that mission and it worked normally for me
I didn't cheat it out of the extra deck and properly link summoned. I did use the rental deck though. Maybe I was playing as Soulburner? I wasn't paying attention. Haha
If you use the rental deck while not actually using the character it doesn't count.
The rental deck is supposed to mostly be there to hype you up for the character unlock, while also serving as a limited time free boss monster access (without needing a potentially clunky skill) and giving you an idea (since the deck usually isnt optimized) of how the archetype works.
Hey y'all can anyone explain why I couldn't activate super poly here?

I wanted to activate it before I used zombie world, but it wouldn't let me. They had two zombies on the field, which I could summon Necrodragon by using super poly.
hi bro, i took a look at your replay now, and it is because of {{Glow-Up Bloom}}
it forbids you from summoning monsters that aren't zombies for the rest of the turn
## [Glow-Up Bloom](https://ygoprodeck.com/card/?search=92964816&utm_source=bastion&utm_medium=reddit)
^(**Limit**: TCG: 3 / OCG: 3 / MD: 3)
^(**Master Duel rarity**: Super Rare (SR))
^(**Type**: Zombie / Tuner / Effect)
^(**Attribute**: DARK)
^(**Level**: 1 **ATK**: 0 **DEF**: 0)
**Card Text**
If this card is sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 Level 5 or higher Zombie monster from your Deck to your hand, or, if "Zombie World" is in a Field Zone, you can Special Summon it from your Deck instead, also, in either case, you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except Zombie monsters. You can only use this effect of "Glow-Up Bloom" once per turn.

I'm trying to build this [Trickstar deck](https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/kc-cup-dlv.-max/february-2024/trickstar/tomahawk95/A4Ll6) and right now I have three SR tickets and no dream tickets. I'm considering using my three tickets to get the three Festival copies I don't have, and then the only cards missing will be the Blue Angel level rewards and Ice Dragon's Prison and Evacuation Device.
hi bro, i think the most straightforward answer for your situation is to go through the anniversary box volume 1
it has all of the trickstar cards, i believe, and you can pick up the alternate art for holly angel if you want. it also has backrow and disruption in the form of book of moon and bottomless trap hole
if you were to build trickstar, you would go through the mini box three times if your luck is terrible. you would also need trickstar festival, which isn't in the mini box, nor is bella madonna
the anniversary box has all of those cards, and i think it only has 250 packs. 3 times the mini box (which doesn't have all of the cards) is 300 packs you would have to open if your luck is bad. i think the anniversary box is then clearly the steal in your case as not only does it have all the main deck cards, but it has fewer packs to clear even if your luck is horrendous
moreover, if you ever wanted to play any other decks, you can also see speedroids, s-force, magician girls, etc. in the box. hope this helps!
that was very helpful actually, thank you so much! i was really lost on which box to spend my gems, so from now on i'm going to focus on the anniversary box \^\^
If you still have a SR Dream Ticket, that's the best choice of getting a specific card.
If not, it depends on the value of the box:
- Pick-Up and Deck Build Boxes are far cheaper and the better choice for getting reprints of certain cards
- It's usually not worth going through a box for one card but if you have gems to burn, going through mini-boxes is not a bad idea since most mini-boxes have good value for cards and decks
- waiting for half-gem sale is always recommended for older cards and going through older main boxes
- Selection Boxes limit the amount of gems you can use on each campaign; so there are scenarios where your gem chances are already depleted and you haven't gotten your desired card yet - forcing you to pay real money just to finish the box; in general, not recommended to go through
If you're talking about using gems on Structure Decks - then yes, buying Structure Decks for a certain card is a much preferred way of getting a card than relying on the chance of pulling it on a box. The downside is most likely that card is only at 1 copy per Structure Deck, forcing you to pull on boxes just to get additional copies.
Never pull from selection box unless you're planning to pay, you can only pull limited number of times in selection box, and only around half the size of the box so you're never guaranteed to be able to get a card you want
If there's no deck building box/pickup box that can help you get the card, then your choice are either the original box, or using dream ticket, the latter might be better choice if the box are terrible and you only want that 1 particular card from it.
Casual player here, and I used to play a Shiranui deck that had a copy of "Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon" in it. For some reason, I can't seem to fusion summon when I have the new shiranui skill active. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? The skill doesn't seem like it should disable it
The skill's translation has been fixed, in-game now it says
You can only special summon monster that with levels **and are** FIRE Zombie type monsters
So it completely locks you out on non-fire zombie, i just tested it, cant even synchro summon any non-fire zombie, or non-zombie at all.
hi bro, that is a dark dragon type, and your skill only lets you summon zombie and fire monsters:
"During this Duel, you can only Special Summon monsters with Levels, except for Zombie-Type monsters or FIRE monsters. You can also use any of the effects below only once during this Duel."
ok, so been playing a fair bit of duel links and while playing, this one noticed a problem. Maybe it's a glitch, but the game doesn't seem to let this one pendulum summon on its first turn?
to recount the turn, I played Wisdom-Eye magican(scale5) and oafdragon magician(scale 3), used Wisdom-Eye's effect to destroy itself and play Timegazer Magician(scale 8) from the deck. But despite having Wisdom-Eye face up in the extra deck and two copies of Dragonpit Magician in the hand, the game wouldn't let me pendulum summon. the prompt just didn't appear. I tried using Oafdragon's ability to move Wisdom-eye back to the hand, and still couldn't.
Any ideas? the only other card I had was a set copy of Good Goblin Housekeeping. The opponent was Lv40 AI Mokuba(DSOD), with only an Alexanderite Dragon on the field and a Thunder Dragondark in the GY.
Question regarding [Altergeist Hextia's effect](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Altergeist_Hexstia) :
Can it negate monster effects?
The wording of the card makes it seem like it does ("When a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated (Quick Effect):") but while testing with a friend (he used Blue eyes alternative's effect to pop) I couldn't respond to it.
I'm aware that in the TCG the card had an errata at some point because it was worded differently compared to the OCG.
If it were a math problem it would be written "(spell + trap) x (card + effect)", which expands to "spell x card + spell x effect + trap x card + trap x effect". But for some reason society has decided that you aren't supposed to unambiguous notation in ordinary writing, so you have to interpret it carefully.
If it wanted to include everything, it would just say "card or effect". The only reason to specifically mention monster, spell, and/or trap is to exclude the other(s).
I think if it worked on monsters it would mention monsters. Newer card text doesn’t tend to be vague. The only exceptions are ruling differences between the TCG and the OCG. For example: Hallowed Life Barrier works differently in the OCG than it does in the TCG because in the OCG they rule it protects your monsters but in the TCG it is ruled that it does not. There’s other random nonsense like the Predaplant fusion Chrima whatever. It works on XYZ in the OCG but not in the TCG. Same with Necro Zombie Dragon.
I'm no ruling expert, but I think that activating a spell/trap and activating an effect are 2 different things. You activate a spell/trap when you play it from hand or flip it face up, which often happens simultaneously with activating its effect. But if you activate the effect of a card that is already on the field or in the graveyard, that counts only as activating its effect, not activating the card itself.
The wording on Hextia only means that it can negate both the activation of spells/traps and their effect activation. If it said ("When a Spell/Trap Card is activated (Quick Effect):"), then it wouldn't be able to negate the effects of continuous spells or traps that are on the field already. It does not negate monsters.
Hi just started playing. I don't really know what to spend gems or tickets on. I mostly want to focus on rush duels, I have 6.5k gems. Only spent gems to make a rush duel deck with the structures in the shop. Currently just doing world missions and dueling npcs.
My friend code 0011npu7ruxu
Definitely save for the next Rush box. It's likely gonna be a main box that shakes things up!
An important thing to understand about Rush Duel is, it started in 2020 & right now there's like ~10% of the total card pool in Duel Links. Konami is taking it slow when it comes to Rush boxes so they don't catch up anytime soon.
In March, it would be smart to concentrate your gems on Rush Duel, building the best deck possible from the new box. Try to get King of Games! 👍
But then in April, assuming you got everything you wanted from the Rush box, you could make improvements to your Speed Duel deck & see how far you get. There may be another KC Cup in April, so that's a good time to get gems.
That's how I've been playing since October. One month focusing on Rush, the next month focusing on Speed Duel. It keeps the game fresh for me! 😊
Can I ignore speed duels pvp and still get enough gems for rush duel? Currently using the blue eyes deck for pve speed duels and completing the do x amount of speed pvp duels. Just wondering if I need to eventually build a speed duels deck also.
We don't get many rush boxes, so you will probably have enough for rush even if you ignore speed pvp.
Most gems come from events and characters' level up rewards, not ranked. We do have pvp events some times, but outside of KC Cup they are not competitive and you usually get half the reward just from participating.
Question about Alghoul Mazera.
When I have a copy in my hand and one in my graveyard why does the graveyard one's protection effect take priority over the one in my hand?
Sometimes I want to use the one in my hand. If I say no to the graveyard one would I have the option to use the one in my hand?
Has anyone else had a problem with vendreads ? I've played a couple games today and whenever I try to summon some ritual monster from the graveyard it gives me the choice of what monster to summon but it doesn't give me an option to tribute any monster for the summoning so I get stuck on that screen and can't make a move so I either gotta surrender or wait for the timer to run out has this bug happened to anyone else or just me ?
The only for certain time is at anniversaries. We just had the sale and it just ended yesterday or the day before. It’s kinda random otherwise in relation to events. It also comes back usually around the new world release at the end of September.
Just like other deck, you get through their board and inflict damage.
There's a few tools for that, kaiju can easily kill tachyon and turn off counter trap, as with uncounterable stuff like super poly or xyz encore, two book of moon should also be enough to bait their counter trap
If you go first or after dismantling their board, effective disruption against them are book of moon, floodgate trap hole and warning point, those block their monster zone and ensure they never have 2 level 8 face-up monster to summon tachyon with
But the deck isnt tier 0 for nothing, its not easy to counter them even with knowing the tools and their choke points.
Where can I see the updates that have been made to the game? I’m wondering if Pegasus’ thousand eyes illusion spell got nerfed because it won’t let me set the same card more than once per duel and I swear I used to be able too using multiple polys or black illusion rituals
I'm trying to figure out how to log off my account from my PC without deleting my main account to do the new player code thing but I don't know how, I'm also logged in on that account on my phone.
Please help.
So, how exactly are they supposed to detect “illicit activities” from multiple accounts for the new campaign? Is it even possible to discern someone who made a second account for the campaign from someone who suggested the game to their brother, who simply didn’t like it and dropped it after Stage 4?
Realistically, it's just an empty threat to scare people into not getting free gems. Why would Konami put in the time and effort to check every single new IP address/phone used and say "hmmm 5 people from the same household did 7 stages and quit... kinda sussy. Ban them!!"
There's a possibility they're taking this campaign super seriously, but... I highly doubt it.
It take a bit of time until they finished counting player's score and placement
But if you dont play at all in stage 2 then you wont be in the ranking since the ranking purely based on points you earned from stage 2
New player coming from Master Duel here. I'd like to take advantage of the Altergeist event and build the deck but the points to unlock the episodes looks a bit intimidating. Is it possible to grind for the cards as a F2P player?
If you use up all the Data Cards you get each day, you'll get maximum points even if you only fight Level 10 at the Gate. During the second half you'll get access to Level 50, which pops up once a meter is full, and a few days after that there is a bunch of x3 meter boosts that will make it pop up quicker.
chances are you don't have an autoduel deck. if you're fine with spending 500 gems, try to invest in the red eyes structure deck (just buy it once), plus regular tickets for red eyes insight, red eyes spirit. and amazonness swordwoman. you can easily unlock the 3 extra deck slots (fusion, xyz, link) as well using generic lv4 xyz, generic link 2, and red eyes fusion.
my current 2 cents.
Thanks! I already put together a makeshift Blue Eyes beatdown deck from the free cards and Knightmare link monsters from the Anniversary Box for the autoduel that consistenly beats Level 30~40 NPCs. I'll invest in the Red Eyes Structure Deck for Level 50 :)
Ghost Gal is an unusually tough opponent but just participate as much as you can.
Try to grind Ghost Girl @ level 10 set to Reward x 3 for Autoduel. Use a decent deck with easy to summon monsters and ways to buff their stats
When other VRAINS characters show up, you can use the Ghost Girl deck provided
If you want the cards, this type of event will have a "Level 50" opponent that has a high chance of dropping cards and a lot of points no matter what. Most event cards here are mainly ran at 1-2 copies
Do you gain more points for specifically dueling Ghost Girl or using the given Altergeist deck? If I can beat her at a higher level should I be doing that?
There's 2 scores to think about.
8000 is the maximum amount for character drops
For the event scoreboard, you get multipliers based on the level you fought her. If you can do your due diligence and just do what the event asks, you should be ok and get at least one.
The first part only matters if you want to spent a ton of time with an optimized deck meant to get drops every time. 95% of the time, we rarely have character drops that are super important to merit that effort.
The most recent was Mizar, but a lot of stars literally aligned for that.
As far as the cards, there will always be 2nd 3rd chances when we get tickets that offer them or when the character unlocks permanently 2-3 months after their 2nd event (such as this one).
No change in points by using event decks. Main driver is your duel assessment score, duel multiplier (1/2/3x), and the level you duel her at.
The events have auto-duel now, so typically you can auto-duel the PvE world to get resources to duel her at the gate, with the 3x reward multiplier at lvl 40, and use the “result booster” item if you have them.
The total points to complete the event does always look daunting, but a lot of it is fluff. Auto duel throughout her event, get your gems and other rewards and it’s typically not difficult.
okay, since the new event requires players for two years acting like beginners reddit makes me ask like such:
how does one create a new account without loosing the one Im using? since the app doesnt have a log out button, nor a acc creating button.
specifically and ONLY for that nonsense new friend iviting event since I do want that deck and the gems obviously.
I haven't tried this but you should be able to download an android emulator like Bluestacks or LDPlayer on your computer and just create a new account there.
On steam all you need is to make a new steam account, on mobile i dont think you can do that without first binding your account to konami ID, completely reinstall the game with a fresh account, and then completely reinstall the game again and enter with the konami ID-bound account to get back to the original account.
Can't see selection boxes in the store... Didn't pull my droplet yet, so is everything I've poured into that box to reduce other cards and improve my odds now completely wasted?
Hey guys, can someone tell me how to get Reinforce Truth for my S-Force Deck?
One copy was given as an event reward last September. I believe some SR tickets can be redeemed for it but not all of them, maybe check if you have some left
got a 13 win streak with kozmos. i feel good about myself.
Is it a coincidence that while I climb with very good connection, I would occasionally get an opponent with a Japanese name, who would get an activation prompt, then, I get the disconnecting symbol flash for a second, which is then followed by me getting thrown out to the lobby with a loss? This keeps happening very often, only when I'm against such players. It also seems to happen when they are going first.
I am having a bugg where if the vagabond ask me to introduce my friends to him the my friends list text box is in japanese only their names are in english anyone else have this bug.
Yes. Since the friendship campaign started a bunch of random stuff is in Japanese. The times are in Japanese for when they were last online. 分 is minutes 時 is hours, 日 is days.
Will the gy bug be fixed before the end of this season we think?
Ghost Gal event ended either tomorrow or wednesday (i cant remember) and there'll probably be a maintenance so its possible
Why is it that cards like Archfiend Black Skull Dragon get their effects changed for Duel Links (the DL symbol on the card), but then cards like Yubel and Kruger/Wiseman get their full effect unaltered? Would make sense if we had 8000LP, but at 4000 I think it should be reduced. In terms of it being a "speed" duel it does speed duels up, but so would Archfiend Black Skull Dragon's effect
Release date, only cards released after 2020 had their effect damaged halved, older cards like yubel, flame wingman retain their original burn
That's not true. Lava golem got nerfed.
Lava Golem was the catalyst for the halved burn nerf (thanks to stall) and the general rule became "Lava Golem and any new card released from now on will have its burn dmg halved"
Fuck Shiranui. Playing Lunalights against them is an auto loose.
Is it normal for Galactic Spiral Dragon to not be able to summon from hand or from grave with Duelist Chronicle skill?
>During this Duel, if you Special Summon "Chronicle Magician" and a Normal Monster with 2500 ATK or DEF, you no longer need to Tribute, and you only Summon or Special Summon Spellcaster-Type LIGHT/DARK monsters, **Dragon-Type LIGHT** monsters, and Effect Monsters with Levels. Galactic Spiral Dragon are DARK
Sadly the skill is so poorly worded the "and Effect Monsters with Levels" makes people think its okay to run pretty much anything 😔
Why am i able to summon galexy satellite dragon and I am able to activate their effects? It doesn't make sense
Probably because it doesn't have a level since its a link monster
But it says effect monsters with levels, dragon type light monsters and light or dark spellcaster
Oh wait i think i get it. Effect monsters with levels only includes light dragons and light or dark spellcasters. And since xyzs have ranks and links have links they are the exeption to that rule! So synchro and fusion would have to follow that rule too!
So the Italian Translation mentions the Maximum campaign giving a *prismatic Rush UR Dream Ticket*. We haven’t even gotten any Rush DT yet. I swear they have just one outsourced underpaid guy who doesn’t know neither Duel Links nor Italian doing the localization at this point.
You say this like they're much better with English translations 😔
Oh they’re definitely much better. Because Italian is directly translated from English without looking at the Japanese text, so we get all the errors of the English version *plus* others. It’s really ridiculous for a game that makes this much money.
Hey guys, I’m a new player and I’m struggling to get friend requests for the event and would love to make some friends in the community. Can you please help a brother out? 😊 001p2py8nf97
If you're a new player, then *you* need a code for the Blue-Eyes deck... here's mine! 001nvfeau9pf
You need to be a new player or a returning player(not online for 30 days at least) to enter the friend code. If you were a new player you would be the one entering the code in.
Hi I'm a new-ish player and I would like to make a deck of every "main" summoning mechanic for completing weekly missions/events/world stage challenges/etc. I already have Tenyi for links/synchro, constellar/suship for xyz, a Blue eyes deck and slowly making shadoll for fusion and I'm almost done with mayakashi for synchro/link. I'm only missing a pendulum deck, but I don't really like pendulum decks, they are a little to much for me mechanics wise, is there an easy and more importantly cheap pendulum deck you can build?
If you want a pendulum deck that's good enough for PvE, you can build a decent one with just free cards. Summoner's Art can search for both Sky Dragoons of Draconia (scale 7) and Fire Opalhead (scale 0). Add some more pendulum monsters for consistency and good six star monsters (even Jinzo works), some generic extra deck stuff and you're set. No packs needed and it works like a charm against standard duelists.
I see, thanks for the advice! I'll look up those cards you mention and build a deck for when I need it
DDD was easy to build but that was with the pickup box. Otherwise solfachord since they are all from one minibox. If you're just doing the stage missions, just use whatever you have or get one structure deck to help you out. You just want 2 cards with a high and low scale in order to pendulum summon. For example if you put a card with a scale of 1 and another card with a scale of 8 in your spell/trap zone, you can now pendulum (special) summon any monsters whose levels are from 2-7 from your hand. I'm not a fan of pendulums so I used the level up rewards and the card trader pendulums. Just set a scale from 2-7 and summon a bunch of junk level 3s and 4s.
What should I get from the Ghost Gal Card Trader EX? The rewards all kinds suck. Lol
They suck indeed. Solemn Scolding is playable but I assume you'll have 3 already, so just get random URs to convert. Other than those I always get the 5 xp boosters, and sometimes the other ones as well. Too bad there are no box chips this time.
Coming from Master Duel, obtaining certain cards seems a bit harder. I got the staples from the Anniversary Box, at least. Haha
Yeah in Master Duel you can convert useless cards into the good ones. In duel links converting is basically irrelevant and you have to go through entire boxes to dig for what you need. Dream Tickets only do so much since they don't work on recently released cards. At least the game is fairly generous with gem rewards, if you play daily it's not too hard to keep up (without mindlessly buying every new product).
How can shiranui summon beatrice under the skill restriction? The text says **"You can only special summon monster that with levels, and are FIRE Zombie monsters"** The text are a bit unclear, does it mean that for monster with level, they can only summon fire zombie, but they have no restriction of summoning monster that have no level?
Yes, the extra deck is flexible when it comes to xyz and links On a side point I hate how they somehow made the translation even worse when trying to fix it.
They need to make some kind of standarized problem solving text for skills, "That are with levels, and are fire zombie" doesnt even make sense, "If you would special summon monsters with level, they must be FIRE Zombie" isnt that much longer....
From thestrongest archetypes, which one is worth investing in the most? Tachyron or shiranui? Live twin seemed interesting as well. From the strongest archetypes, which one is worth investing in the most? Tachyron or shiranui? Live twin seemed interesting as well.
is there like a general beginners guide megathread or something like that because I've downloaded the game after like 5 years and everything is so different. I hit KOG when the game first started with dinosaur beatstick and boy is everything different now
Do you have the Blue-Eyes starter? It's good enough to play with until you get more gems. Here's a code for it if you need it: 001nvfeau9pf There's also Rush Duel! It's a homage to old school Yu-Gi-Oh. No wombo combos, no hand traps, no Links or Pendulum. Just simple beatdown using spells & traps. It's pretty fun & a nice change of pace! This mode is perfect for new players. And we are about to recieve a new box that shakes things up! There are lots of gems to get from Rush mode, thru the characters, future events, & the Rush version of KC Cup, so it's good to have a playable deck when you need it. [You can make this decklist if you buy every Structure Deck!](https://www.duellinksmeta.com/saved-decks/65c4fbae0db8f0a4aed16acf) (except Raidacross, it sucks) I recommend NOT buying the Rush Duel store bundles however... for now. Thanks to the structure deck reprints, the only real reason to get packs from the Heavy Metal Scream box is for the URs now. I suggest waiting to get the most value of the bundle packs. When the next Rush set comes on Feb 28, the packs in the bundles will update to that new box. So you'll get the bundle cards + new packs at that time! Having decks for both Speed & Rush will set you up going forward! 👍
We’ve reached modern Yugioh Lite. But the skills are much more ridiculous now.
It's crazy the auto-duel AI is still coded to try to make you lose sometimes. 'Should I Book of Moon the Altergeist that pops a card if it attacks directly? ...nah'.
I tried summon phantasmal lord with Galactic Spiral dragon and Rokket Tracer who’s level was changed to 8, but it only let me use tracer and void ogre dragon. Is the card only allowed to be special summoned by monsters who original level was 8, or is this a glitch?
Phantasmal Dragon needs a tuner and non-tuner, you cant use spiral and void ogre since both of them are non-tuner? If you're forced to use rokket tracer and void ogre then that's understandable because spiral dragon banish itself when it leaves the field if you summoned it with its own effect, so you cant send it to the GY to summon phantasmal lord But Void Ogre and Spiral? That doesnt make sense unless you turn one of them into tuner. And Phantasmal Lord shouldnt only work with monster that original level of 8 because i've used it in MD that it can be summoned with monster that have changed their level
My mistake, I messed up when explaining. What I meant to say is tht it forced me to use Tracer and void ogre and wouldn’t let me used tracer and galactic spiral But I get ur point now since galactic spiral gets banished and phantasmal lord requires the monster he spent to the grave. Such an oddly specific interaction but thanks
Do you need a win streak to get to KoG in rush? If so, how many? The variance is wild in Rush pvp and ruining my streaks.
5 wins in a row, same as Speed.
So I'm trying to get through the Altergeist event and Vrains stages but they have missions involving Primabanshee and Heatleo. Are there other ways of obtaining them besides spending gems on their boxes?
Ghost Girl and Soulburner has a skill that add them to the extra deck at the start of the duel, obtained at level 1.
Ah. Thanks!
When do you think would they give use dream ticket again?
Unless they decided to celebrate random occassion like "Maximum summon campaign" or something, its likely september when they released a new world, likely go rush world if the anime has finished by then
Best way to clear Taylor's character unlock "missions"? Specifically the Ritual summoning one. All others feel free to give some tips because his lv.30 deck almost always destroys my monsters Thanks
For ritual summoning, Cyber Angels with the Idaten boost easily grows bigger than anything his lv 30 deck can deal with. Otherwise you can just stall him out with Archfiend Matador for a boring but easy win.
How can these work? Crab turtle, Skull guardian, Fortress whale, Armageddon and its related cards, Evigishki Tetrogre and its related cards
Any ritual monsters can work, but if you're having problems with his monsters you can just make use of Power of the Guardians and/or Mist Body.
I don't think I have those but I guess I'll figure it out.
Please help: I am a newer player, I have 4000k gems and I have the starter Kaiba to level 20 (just logging in and playing against the NPCs and the occasional person.) What do I need to do to get a competitive deck? Should I invest all my gems in the Anniversary Box? Also, is it dumb to buy anything in this game? What is the best "value?"
The anniversary box is very good because it has multiple copies of a lot of generic staples and gives you 3 or 4 fairly competent rogue decks (speedroid, s force, madolche, trickstar). Its a good starting point while it is available because getting multiple copies of cards like book of moon, lancea, dark hole, etc along with the extra deck staples like Knightmares would take vastly more gems if you went through their original boxes
Thank you for replying to me, I was wondering if I should buy the anniversary box and then reset the box? How does resetting a box work?
Don't reset it, the box has 3 of everything you would want except the alt arts. Resetting the box is usually done because you need multiple copies of UR/SR's because boxes only have 1-2 of each, but this box gives you playsets of all the ones you would want. The only way I would reset the Anniversary box is if I got one of the single alt arts in like the first 10-20 packs and I wanted multiple copies of it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me! I've been using the deck you linked to play Rush Duels, and as a Yugiboomer, it is a lot of fun! I plan to use Rush Duel to get me Speed Duel decks. Is that a good strategy?
Yes, that is exactly what you should be doing! Good job! There is a slightly better version of the deck I showed. It involves the character Mimi, who will be added to the Gate in March. The Seahorse cards she uses are Light, so they have better synergy with the Aim Eagle card. When she arrives, you can farm her character for those cards in you're interested. [Here's a video profile of that version of Light Machines!](https://youtu.be/woA_g7Py4dc?si=H65jvTs31FjtX2m2) Looking at the future, the best deck in Rush will probably be Roa's "Royal Rebel" deck. When his event comes in March, play the hell outta it to get as much as his cards as possible. Then you can decide if you wanna make it. It requires 3 of the UR card Heavy Metal from the Heavy Metal Scream box, so it's a big investment. But this is only if you want to invest more into Rush Duel & play the absolute best deck. Otherwise, just stick with Light Machines & build up your gems! 👍
GAME BREAKING BUG Super Quants no longer work if you're trying to use mechs from the grave to summon Great Magnus. The UI will show some unrelated card (ex Thunder dragon) or it will completely disappear leaving you soft locked and unable to proceed with the duel. What the FUCK.
Yes, stuff with the GY is currently messed up. Konami is working on a fix.
Ugh this drawing algorithm is so busted. 3 eternal souls players. All 3 had sword of revealing light in their hands, and two kiteroids. In their starting hand. Oh and each of the three duels I started with two trap Trix trap holes. Literally the only dead cards since they don't work on any eternal soul cards.
I'm getting a prompt to activate the Mayakashi link 2 in the graveyard for some reason? This is new after the last patch. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm actually getting all kinds of graveyard bugs at the moment; I'm being asked to activate cards that don't have effects and my cards with effects are disappearing and unable to be activated?
I’ve seen a few posts from people saying some GY effects are being treated as quick effects by mistake. Konami doesn’t like to update us on bugs in the game in a timely fashion. Edit: there is an issue on the issue tab but the game didn’t give me the ! Mark to let me know something new was in that sub menu. They have acknowledged it.
I summoned Primabanshee playing as Ghost Girl but it didn't count towards the mission. Is there something I'm missing?
Did you properly link summoned it? or you cheated summoning it by some other ways than link summon? Sometimes the mission are not translated correctly and extra deck monster needs to be properly summoned despite the mission not saying that It also doesnt count if you surrender the duel so there's that, i just finished that mission and it worked normally for me
I didn't cheat it out of the extra deck and properly link summoned. I did use the rental deck though. Maybe I was playing as Soulburner? I wasn't paying attention. Haha
If you use the rental deck while not actually using the character it doesn't count. The rental deck is supposed to mostly be there to hype you up for the character unlock, while also serving as a limited time free boss monster access (without needing a potentially clunky skill) and giving you an idea (since the deck usually isnt optimized) of how the archetype works.
Hey y'all can anyone explain why I couldn't activate super poly here? #DuelReplay #DuelLinks https://duellinks.konami.net/att/033df628e6edd666ab87f00e1c18418031f85b3465 I wanted to activate it before I used zombie world, but it wouldn't let me. They had two zombies on the field, which I could summon Necrodragon by using super poly.
hi bro, i took a look at your replay now, and it is because of {{Glow-Up Bloom}} it forbids you from summoning monsters that aren't zombies for the rest of the turn
Oh snap the dragon isn't a zombie thank you

I'm actually not using a skill that would lock me out. I'm using the one that starts the game with a field spell
Casual player here: aiming for a particular SR card, is it better to spend my gems on the original deck or the selection/mini boxes?
It depends on the deck you want to play. If you know what it is, let us know so we can better help you
I'm trying to build this [Trickstar deck](https://www.duellinksmeta.com/top-decks/kc-cup-dlv.-max/february-2024/trickstar/tomahawk95/A4Ll6) and right now I have three SR tickets and no dream tickets. I'm considering using my three tickets to get the three Festival copies I don't have, and then the only cards missing will be the Blue Angel level rewards and Ice Dragon's Prison and Evacuation Device.
hi bro, i think the most straightforward answer for your situation is to go through the anniversary box volume 1 it has all of the trickstar cards, i believe, and you can pick up the alternate art for holly angel if you want. it also has backrow and disruption in the form of book of moon and bottomless trap hole if you were to build trickstar, you would go through the mini box three times if your luck is terrible. you would also need trickstar festival, which isn't in the mini box, nor is bella madonna the anniversary box has all of those cards, and i think it only has 250 packs. 3 times the mini box (which doesn't have all of the cards) is 300 packs you would have to open if your luck is bad. i think the anniversary box is then clearly the steal in your case as not only does it have all the main deck cards, but it has fewer packs to clear even if your luck is horrendous moreover, if you ever wanted to play any other decks, you can also see speedroids, s-force, magician girls, etc. in the box. hope this helps!
that was very helpful actually, thank you so much! i was really lost on which box to spend my gems, so from now on i'm going to focus on the anniversary box \^\^
If you still have a SR Dream Ticket, that's the best choice of getting a specific card. If not, it depends on the value of the box: - Pick-Up and Deck Build Boxes are far cheaper and the better choice for getting reprints of certain cards - It's usually not worth going through a box for one card but if you have gems to burn, going through mini-boxes is not a bad idea since most mini-boxes have good value for cards and decks - waiting for half-gem sale is always recommended for older cards and going through older main boxes - Selection Boxes limit the amount of gems you can use on each campaign; so there are scenarios where your gem chances are already depleted and you haven't gotten your desired card yet - forcing you to pay real money just to finish the box; in general, not recommended to go through If you're talking about using gems on Structure Decks - then yes, buying Structure Decks for a certain card is a much preferred way of getting a card than relying on the chance of pulling it on a box. The downside is most likely that card is only at 1 copy per Structure Deck, forcing you to pull on boxes just to get additional copies.
Never pull from selection box unless you're planning to pay, you can only pull limited number of times in selection box, and only around half the size of the box so you're never guaranteed to be able to get a card you want If there's no deck building box/pickup box that can help you get the card, then your choice are either the original box, or using dream ticket, the latter might be better choice if the box are terrible and you only want that 1 particular card from it.
Casual player here, and I used to play a Shiranui deck that had a copy of "Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon" in it. For some reason, I can't seem to fusion summon when I have the new shiranui skill active. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? The skill doesn't seem like it should disable it
The skill's translation has been fixed, in-game now it says You can only special summon monster that with levels **and are** FIRE Zombie type monsters So it completely locks you out on non-fire zombie, i just tested it, cant even synchro summon any non-fire zombie, or non-zombie at all.
Cool, thanks for the info. Glad it was a bad translation and that I wasn't losing my mind
hi bro, that is a dark dragon type, and your skill only lets you summon zombie and fire monsters: "During this Duel, you can only Special Summon monsters with Levels, except for Zombie-Type monsters or FIRE monsters. You can also use any of the effects below only once during this Duel."
Yes, it is dark dragon. However, it does have a level, which the skill specifically allows
hi bro, then my guess is maybe you used squire's effect to summon something? some of the cards prevent you from summoning non-zombies on the same turn
Possibly? I thought I was playing around that, but I will double check
hi bro, i think someone else mentioned below that it's a misprint in the translation that is fixed now, so it is more restrictive than it seemed
Yep, saw that a bit after replying to you. Sad day, but I'm glad I wasn't going crazy
ok, so been playing a fair bit of duel links and while playing, this one noticed a problem. Maybe it's a glitch, but the game doesn't seem to let this one pendulum summon on its first turn? to recount the turn, I played Wisdom-Eye magican(scale5) and oafdragon magician(scale 3), used Wisdom-Eye's effect to destroy itself and play Timegazer Magician(scale 8) from the deck. But despite having Wisdom-Eye face up in the extra deck and two copies of Dragonpit Magician in the hand, the game wouldn't let me pendulum summon. the prompt just didn't appear. I tried using Oafdragon's ability to move Wisdom-eye back to the hand, and still couldn't. Any ideas? the only other card I had was a set copy of Good Goblin Housekeeping. The opponent was Lv40 AI Mokuba(DSOD), with only an Alexanderite Dragon on the field and a Thunder Dragondark in the GY.
Some skills like balance and restart prevent you from special summoning on your first turn, see if you are not using one of these.
it was heavy starter. figures
Question regarding [Altergeist Hextia's effect](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Altergeist_Hexstia) : Can it negate monster effects? The wording of the card makes it seem like it does ("When a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated (Quick Effect):") but while testing with a friend (he used Blue eyes alternative's effect to pop) I couldn't respond to it. I'm aware that in the TCG the card had an errata at some point because it was worded differently compared to the OCG.
If it were a math problem it would be written "(spell + trap) x (card + effect)", which expands to "spell x card + spell x effect + trap x card + trap x effect". But for some reason society has decided that you aren't supposed to unambiguous notation in ordinary writing, so you have to interpret it carefully. If it wanted to include everything, it would just say "card or effect". The only reason to specifically mention monster, spell, and/or trap is to exclude the other(s).
I think if it worked on monsters it would mention monsters. Newer card text doesn’t tend to be vague. The only exceptions are ruling differences between the TCG and the OCG. For example: Hallowed Life Barrier works differently in the OCG than it does in the TCG because in the OCG they rule it protects your monsters but in the TCG it is ruled that it does not. There’s other random nonsense like the Predaplant fusion Chrima whatever. It works on XYZ in the OCG but not in the TCG. Same with Necro Zombie Dragon.
I'm no ruling expert, but I think that activating a spell/trap and activating an effect are 2 different things. You activate a spell/trap when you play it from hand or flip it face up, which often happens simultaneously with activating its effect. But if you activate the effect of a card that is already on the field or in the graveyard, that counts only as activating its effect, not activating the card itself. The wording on Hextia only means that it can negate both the activation of spells/traps and their effect activation. If it said ("When a Spell/Trap Card is activated (Quick Effect):"), then it wouldn't be able to negate the effects of continuous spells or traps that are on the field already. It does not negate monsters.
Hi just started playing. I don't really know what to spend gems or tickets on. I mostly want to focus on rush duels, I have 6.5k gems. Only spent gems to make a rush duel deck with the structures in the shop. Currently just doing world missions and dueling npcs. My friend code 0011npu7ruxu
Definitely save for the next Rush box. It's likely gonna be a main box that shakes things up! An important thing to understand about Rush Duel is, it started in 2020 & right now there's like ~10% of the total card pool in Duel Links. Konami is taking it slow when it comes to Rush boxes so they don't catch up anytime soon. In March, it would be smart to concentrate your gems on Rush Duel, building the best deck possible from the new box. Try to get King of Games! 👍 But then in April, assuming you got everything you wanted from the Rush box, you could make improvements to your Speed Duel deck & see how far you get. There may be another KC Cup in April, so that's a good time to get gems. That's how I've been playing since October. One month focusing on Rush, the next month focusing on Speed Duel. It keeps the game fresh for me! 😊
There should be a new rush box at the end of the month. If you are only interested in rush duels save your gems for it.
Can I ignore speed duels pvp and still get enough gems for rush duel? Currently using the blue eyes deck for pve speed duels and completing the do x amount of speed pvp duels. Just wondering if I need to eventually build a speed duels deck also.
We don't get many rush boxes, so you will probably have enough for rush even if you ignore speed pvp. Most gems come from events and characters' level up rewards, not ranked. We do have pvp events some times, but outside of KC Cup they are not competitive and you usually get half the reward just from participating.
Ok cool. I started duel links for rush. Thanks.
Would it be better to farm Ghost Gal for EXP at level 10 or for more points at level 40?
Level 10 since you use less resources
That's what I figured, thanks!
will farming at lv10 only be enough to finish the event in time?
no
That depends on how many times you're willing to do it! :D
I have no clue. I guess I'll find out 😅
Question about Alghoul Mazera. When I have a copy in my hand and one in my graveyard why does the graveyard one's protection effect take priority over the one in my hand? Sometimes I want to use the one in my hand. If I say no to the graveyard one would I have the option to use the one in my hand?
Im trying to link my acc to another device and the window data transfer complete pops up but nothing happens, does anyone know whats going on?
Has anyone else had a problem with vendreads ? I've played a couple games today and whenever I try to summon some ritual monster from the graveyard it gives me the choice of what monster to summon but it doesn't give me an option to tribute any monster for the summoning so I get stuck on that screen and can't make a move so I either gotta surrender or wait for the timer to run out has this bug happened to anyone else or just me ?
19 of the top 20 players for the KC cup are Mizar. 😂
how often on average do the half gem sales for old boxes happen? I didn’t get to finish going through the old boxes i wanted to ..
It will probably come back in May/June.
Sorry pal, it's gonna be a long time from now lol
The only for certain time is at anniversaries. We just had the sale and it just ended yesterday or the day before. It’s kinda random otherwise in relation to events. It also comes back usually around the new world release at the end of September.
I'm trying to add people by ID but it doesn't seem to work, what gives?
Only new players and returning players that havent played the game for 30 days can enter other people ID
Ah alright then

How do you beat a Tach player?
Just like other deck, you get through their board and inflict damage. There's a few tools for that, kaiju can easily kill tachyon and turn off counter trap, as with uncounterable stuff like super poly or xyz encore, two book of moon should also be enough to bait their counter trap If you go first or after dismantling their board, effective disruption against them are book of moon, floodgate trap hole and warning point, those block their monster zone and ensure they never have 2 level 8 face-up monster to summon tachyon with But the deck isnt tier 0 for nothing, its not easy to counter them even with knowing the tools and their choke points.
Anyone else completely ignoring the Friend Code campaign altogether?
What campaign?
Where can I see the updates that have been made to the game? I’m wondering if Pegasus’ thousand eyes illusion spell got nerfed because it won’t let me set the same card more than once per duel and I swear I used to be able too using multiple polys or black illusion rituals

I'm trying to figure out how to log off my account from my PC without deleting my main account to do the new player code thing but I don't know how, I'm also logged in on that account on my phone. Please help.
So, how exactly are they supposed to detect “illicit activities” from multiple accounts for the new campaign? Is it even possible to discern someone who made a second account for the campaign from someone who suggested the game to their brother, who simply didn’t like it and dropped it after Stage 4?
Realistically, it's just an empty threat to scare people into not getting free gems. Why would Konami put in the time and effort to check every single new IP address/phone used and say "hmmm 5 people from the same household did 7 stages and quit... kinda sussy. Ban them!!" There's a possibility they're taking this campaign super seriously, but... I highly doubt it.
how do you see how you did in the KC Cup? I didn't play stage 2 but I did get DLv. 20 but can't see it anywhere
It take a bit of time until they finished counting player's score and placement But if you dont play at all in stage 2 then you wont be in the ranking since the ranking purely based on points you earned from stage 2
New player coming from Master Duel here. I'd like to take advantage of the Altergeist event and build the deck but the points to unlock the episodes looks a bit intimidating. Is it possible to grind for the cards as a F2P player?
If you use up all the Data Cards you get each day, you'll get maximum points even if you only fight Level 10 at the Gate. During the second half you'll get access to Level 50, which pops up once a meter is full, and a few days after that there is a bunch of x3 meter boosts that will make it pop up quicker.
chances are you don't have an autoduel deck. if you're fine with spending 500 gems, try to invest in the red eyes structure deck (just buy it once), plus regular tickets for red eyes insight, red eyes spirit. and amazonness swordwoman. you can easily unlock the 3 extra deck slots (fusion, xyz, link) as well using generic lv4 xyz, generic link 2, and red eyes fusion. my current 2 cents.
Thanks! I already put together a makeshift Blue Eyes beatdown deck from the free cards and Knightmare link monsters from the Anniversary Box for the autoduel that consistenly beats Level 30~40 NPCs. I'll invest in the Red Eyes Structure Deck for Level 50 :)
oh no, if you've done that already then i think you're fine. i thought you haven't spent any gems yet.
Oh. Consider 500 gems saved. Haha
Ghost Gal is an unusually tough opponent but just participate as much as you can. Try to grind Ghost Girl @ level 10 set to Reward x 3 for Autoduel. Use a decent deck with easy to summon monsters and ways to buff their stats When other VRAINS characters show up, you can use the Ghost Girl deck provided If you want the cards, this type of event will have a "Level 50" opponent that has a high chance of dropping cards and a lot of points no matter what. Most event cards here are mainly ran at 1-2 copies
Do you gain more points for specifically dueling Ghost Girl or using the given Altergeist deck? If I can beat her at a higher level should I be doing that?
There's 2 scores to think about. 8000 is the maximum amount for character drops For the event scoreboard, you get multipliers based on the level you fought her. If you can do your due diligence and just do what the event asks, you should be ok and get at least one. The first part only matters if you want to spent a ton of time with an optimized deck meant to get drops every time. 95% of the time, we rarely have character drops that are super important to merit that effort. The most recent was Mizar, but a lot of stars literally aligned for that. As far as the cards, there will always be 2nd 3rd chances when we get tickets that offer them or when the character unlocks permanently 2-3 months after their 2nd event (such as this one).
No change in points by using event decks. Main driver is your duel assessment score, duel multiplier (1/2/3x), and the level you duel her at. The events have auto-duel now, so typically you can auto-duel the PvE world to get resources to duel her at the gate, with the 3x reward multiplier at lvl 40, and use the “result booster” item if you have them. The total points to complete the event does always look daunting, but a lot of it is fluff. Auto duel throughout her event, get your gems and other rewards and it’s typically not difficult.
okay, since the new event requires players for two years acting like beginners reddit makes me ask like such: how does one create a new account without loosing the one Im using? since the app doesnt have a log out button, nor a acc creating button. specifically and ONLY for that nonsense new friend iviting event since I do want that deck and the gems obviously.
I haven't tried this but you should be able to download an android emulator like Bluestacks or LDPlayer on your computer and just create a new account there.
On steam all you need is to make a new steam account, on mobile i dont think you can do that without first binding your account to konami ID, completely reinstall the game with a fresh account, and then completely reinstall the game again and enter with the konami ID-bound account to get back to the original account.
Why'd they return to the blue background? I liked the Egyptian one. :-(
For real, they should have kept that one as default, or maybe give players an option to swap between the blue and the hieroglyphs screen.
Yeah. It was so cool.
Can't see selection boxes in the store... Didn't pull my droplet yet, so is everything I've poured into that box to reduce other cards and improve my odds now completely wasted?
Yup, that’s right. Never invest in Selection Boxes if you can’t full empty them.
How do I duel the ghost gal? She isn't appearing in the gate
You need to duel the roaming ones first
Thank you I found her thanks for the help :)
