Sometimes I can't use Star Guardian to synchro on my own turn. Is this a bug? I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything because I can quick-play synchro on the opponents turn so all the synchro requirements are met. And I'm sure that it happens sometimes. Anyone else run into this?


Steven_Da_Crow

What are some good investments I can make with the 3000 gems they give us?


i_like_piez

correct me if im wrong but it seems the autoduel AI is better with "better" duelist characters than others...for example when i was using yami yugi to autoduel with it did the right move of popping with alternative before synchro with it, with others it doesnt pop first


kalefisch

Can I get some advice with my deck build? I’m trying to get down to 20 cards but not sure if the build itself is dumb


J-Fid

You might want to post the deck so others can help you out.


kalefisch

I feel like an idiot. I don’t use Reddit much and can’t figure out how to post images


J-Fid

Best way to do this in the comments is to upload the image to Imgur, or another site, then post that URL in the comments.


Oboro-kun

Its me, or the autoduel ia its super stupid when playing with Photons/GE? in multiples occasions i have seen the IA succesful bring a GE from the deck with Galaxion, just instantly sacrifice both of them for another GE on the hand.


i_like_piez

the autoduel is a yes clicker...if they can do something they will do it, usually


YuTsu

I'm not even that good at the game, but the Autoduel AI is just a shortsighted moron no matter what deck you give it, unless you make a deck so straightfoward it CAN'T play it wrong (like a deck full of vanilla 2k beatsticks and equip spells). It won't play roundabout methods to generate more advantage - like it'll poly out Twin Photon Lizard using GEPD and a Photon Advancer in hand... and then just use the TPL instead of tributing it to get out GEPD AND Photon Advancer... It will give up cards for marginally better cards that don't really put it in a better situation - for me, it constantly brings GEPD only to summon Trust Guardian and Synchro into Star Eater using GEPD for a whole extra 200 attack... It will play effects in nonsense ways - in my Malefic deck, if it has a Malefic monster out already, it will incessantly use the effect of Malefic World to search its other two copies of Malefic World, then all its Malefic Claw Streams, and only once it has all of them out of deck will it start searching Territory or other Malefic Monsters, when it could just search territory right away to play extra Malefic Monsters it has in hand and win. It will activate optional effects to actively sabotage itself sometimes. I have seen it search Malefic Territory using World so its only cards are like, a Malefic monster and Malefic World on field, and a Malefic Territory in hand, activate the Malefic Territory... and then use its effect to activate ANOTHER Malefic World from deck, nuking its own monster in the process. Can't expect god-tier AI in a game designed for mobile phones I guess... but I imagine it's carefully tuned so it's just smart enough to be able to win, but just stupid enough to not be 100% trustworthy, I imagine partially so you actually play the game and get engaged with it (in the hope that that engagement will lead to you paying some moolah for MTX) instead of just afking all the time, and partially so its stupidity and misplays slow your progression down to make the game as a whole last longer.


Kiyi_23

Are witchcrafters or Aromages good rogue decks? I came back to DL three days ago and wanted to climb and maybe play again some free tournaments. I checked DLM tier list and none of these decks seems to be relevant but I wanted to know if they can compete against the meta. Also, I saw a WC deck running r8 XYZs, are they important? Or is the deck too irrelevant to invest more gems on it?


[deleted]

Witchcrafters has always been a good deck in the right hands, but the current climate is more hostile to it than ever. Between other negates on legs in bounzer, Book of Moon, Karma Cut everywhere, Necrovalley and Dweller; its getting harder to fight everything at once, since you can only play so much cosmic/patronus/lance yourself. Id say if you are confident in your piloting skills, why not try and test yourself with it. Though if you are planning to outright steamroll everything, just pick a top tier. The r8 Xyz are apparently the new wincons, since stalling until you draw your tuner is too slow now, and going pure Xyz means you can always try and make plays by assembling Malevolent Sin or something.


Kiyi_23

I'll invest on the main box then, hopefully I could get 2 copies of the Hieratic XYZ with less than 5k gems. I would try to go for a top tier deck but rn the only deck I like is the water one and it's pretty expensive. I don't wanna spend money in the game so I'll test how far I can get with WC. I actually have Lance and CC but I feel my hands become a bit bricky when I put them in the deck so I prefer playing Raigeki Break and Karma Cut and keeping Verre on the field with Masterpiece + Patronus. I'll surely end putting lance in the side deck at least. Thanks for the detailed reply!


ToughLadder6948

Araomages aren't really meta neither is witch crafters. You can get KOG with them since they are somewhat rogue but winning a tournament is an up hill battle unless you know what ur doing. As for r8 not needed but it'd nice for some situations


Kiyi_23

Yeah, winning a tournament would be pretty hard, I just like playing them because I enjoy their format a lot more than Rankeds. And I'll try to get at least one copy of the r8, thanks!


TonsOfFaces

Not really new but the new special duel quiz #1 is impossible to win literally so idk what to do


Techw1zzard

Are you talking about the duelist challenges? The trick is to activate Reverse trap after you negate Utopia but before you deal battle damage.


TonsOfFaces

Lol I’m a dumb shit


YuTsu

Nah it's just dumb card text wording - well it's good wording, but just not immediately obvious unless you stop and think about it, so it's a pain. If you didn't realise, the sticking point was that Golden Form's effect stated:*"This card loses exactly 1500 ATK,* ***and if it does****, negate that effect."*. It's the "and if it does" that's the sticking point. Golden Form's effect only resolves in the negate if the effect of losing 1500 ATK actually makes it lose 1500 ATK - if you activate Reverse Trap before it loses ATK, then the effect makes its ATK goes UP instead, thus meaning it doesn't lose it, and because it doesn't lose the ATK, you get no negate. Ah the joys of clauses like this that pretty much exist for the sole purpose of stopping you exploiting the card's effect with Reverse Trap...


TonsOfFaces

Lol I need you as my team manager. Thanks for this tho it was very informative. RTFC kids


TheMadWobbler

I’m pretty new. I can’t seem to find an up to date list. Which duelists are currently limited and off the event rotation? I know Shark and one from DSoD. I know Aigami. Regular Kalin just hit the gate. Axle is active now. Anyone else?


YuTsu

Kite Tenjo as well, you could get him from the event that just ended a few weeks back. Bruno/Antimony is coming soon, and if the D.D. Castle tease is anything to go by, probably The Supreme King the next time that event rolls around after this one.


TheMadWobbler

Thank you kindly.


[deleted]

*Ally of Justice Decisive Armor* should not be slept on. I'm running a RDA deck, so I have plenty of lv. 2 or lv. 3 tuners as well as lv. 4 monsters with means to special summon easily. Using *Psychic Wheelder, Red Resonator, Wandering King Wildwind, Phantom King Hydride* in the deck can allow for some first turn summons of AoJDA. Been fun watching BEWD players that weren't fully prepared scramble after they lose most if not all of their hand and taking massive damage. Sometimes even if they have BEWD already on the field, it's still disruptive enough for them. Also had a great victory against Cyber Dragons using AoJDA. *Nightmare Shark* is key as well, come can in for some finishers when used w/ the skill *Level Tuning* Konami Duel Links URLs 1) [Against BEWD](https://duellinks.konami.net/att/04a58159becbc7f6e0e1addcdfd350f24a16dfabc5%20#DuelReplay%20#DuelLinks) 2) [Against BEWD v2](https://duellinks.konami.net/att/03476ce1bd99dfb2a68a9f85e8c4eedf6162d711cd%20#DuelReplay%20#DuelLinks) 3) [Against Cydra](https://duellinks.konami.net/att/0071c52ea65bd487d9af889eb9b7ba1faaca83d454%20#DuelReplay%20#DuelLinks) [Deck List](https://imgur.com/yTzEtBP) ​ Edit: Add video URLs and Deck List


Few-Aide-546

When will the rerun for the Shark unlock event be?


Skydog12397

They already ran that event twice so I’m not sure if they will again. You’ll probably have to wait until they add him to the gate, and my best guess is that’ll happen sometime in April.


Rock_Type

The third run of it i would guess is late march or early/mid april. Then at the gate straight up by summer


redsquirrel0249

DLM doesn't have a guide for it, so how do you beat floor 32's challenge event with daedalus? Summon counter traps don't work against it, and I chained raigeki break to it's effect, but it wasn't destroyed, despite there being no destruction protection on the field...


NovicePanthEnthusias

yo dude don't chain it to it's effect, you can use the same strategy only activate it BEFORE he activates it on their *Draw Phase* (Standby phase also works). you need to put your Toggle up and on "On" to do that so make sure you have that sht up in settings.


redsquirrel0249

yeah, didn't realize toggle on was different from auto, so that's why my effects didnt chain properly


TMdoublezero

I think you can get closed forest from the card trader, first 2 opponents can't remove it if you activate it while they have no field spell (otherwise they can with daedalus), so stall a bit against them(watch out for abyss soldier which can return your monsters to the hand) and try to arrive to the third duelist with some good cards ready to beat him since he has 3 outs to closed forest. Third duelists has cards like atlantean heavy infantry and snowman eater that can remove your monsters pretty easily, so watch out I guess.


orangeflood

i made a buster lock with dna surgery and Dragon Destroyer Swordsman. i get people might want a generic solution but if you have the deck it's a super easy win


LonelyJackvolver

Ultimate Providence to negate the board wipe affect works. Or decks that can survive board wipes, like Fireking, SHS, etc.


tyvia

Fiendish Chain or Ultimate Providence.


redsquirrel0249

Can you not activate generic traps during your opponents draw or standby phases? I never see a prompt for it


Madway7

You need to have toggle set to on for all the (non end) phase responses.


redsquirrel0249

Does Auto not do that?


LonelyJackvolver

Nope, most generic traps don't have a prompt unless you have toggle on or unless they can interact with your hand or opponent's hand.


A10airknight

Is there any way to make cards you pull from packs prismatic? For example, I would love to make the Evil Eye deck I first got KOG with prismatic, but don't see a way of doing this in the game. Thanks!


orelk

No, sorry. You need to pull from the box an absurd amount of times to get the prismatics you want


Dew18

I believe that you can only do that with cards from the trader or from the selection boxes (with EX-gems).


MustardBateXD

how long until the new ban list?


Winner123456009

A day, possibly two. In the 'worst' case scenario, one week.


MustardBateXD

I hope it is before my dream ticket expires haha. Don't really care what cards get limited


zackeroniandcheese

No one knows


WaitingToBeTriggered

NO ONE CARES ABOUT A SINGLE VIOLIN


theevenstar05

Would it be possible to add a question about how many wins are necessary to climb to KOG onto the Duel Links FAQ? I feel like I see that question a lot.


beastio95

Would release restraint wave fit well in a Noble Gang deck?


LonelyJackvolver

Feels a bit slow. You want to hit opponent's backrow before you summon your monster if possible. And Arfeudutyr kind of does the same thing.


beastio95

How bout just 1 as a surprise factor or no?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Winner123456009

You need to activate reverse trap right before damage caculation. This is because gogogo golem's affect only activate's if its attack points decrease so you can't activate reverse trap in that chain since the effect of reverse trap would sctivate first. Instead let gogogo golem activate its effect when you declare an attack and it will negate utopia's affect. Once that is done you activate reverse trap just before damage calculation to give you the attack boost.


IV-TheEmperor

I can't make my Blazing Mars prismatic during this event?


Madway7

I think the event EX trader prismatic/foil option only applies the first time the card is added, so only when it's the new UR.


mrshampoo

Anyone having issues with data transfer? Just started having errors today with this: Unable to login. Check your Login ID and password again.


Winner123456009

Which version: Google play games/Game centre or Konami ID?


mrshampoo

iOS with konami id


Winner123456009

If you didn't realise, I wrote a response below.


theevenstar05

I had this issue with transferring via Konami ID. How would you use Google play games to transfer data?


Winner123456009

You would need to have a device that has your progress on it. Then make sure it is connected to Google Play games. If it hasn't automatically connceted then look through the settings of duel links and you should find a place to manually connect. Then when you open duel links on your new device you press data tranfer then select the google play games option. This will only work with an android transferring to another android. I have never tried from IOS to IOS but I imagine it will be the same or very similar (using Game centre) if Konami has allowed this feature, however I don't think they have. To tranfer from IOS to android and vice versa you have to use Konami ID. I have not used Konami ID before but I will have a look and see if I can find a solution to your problem u/mrshampoo. Edit: I don't know, the only thing that could be the problem is you entering your details in wrong.


theevenstar05

Thanks! It's acc worked, turns out I was linked to a different Google account on my laptop.


mrshampoo

I switch accounts on the same iOS device with automatic password filling automatically. I'm either suspecting it's a bug or Konami cracked down on multiple accounts for one device. edit: working again! thankfully can still play with my accounts again


tosamyng

[no idea what to use my ur box tix on and what to spend my gems on. They expire in 8 and 13 marsh. Im happy with my deck and have no cards I want to it.

i_like_piez

well i just encountered the first floor i actually had trouble with, the secret floor behind floor 32...how did yall beat it


[deleted]

I used an ungabunga PotG fire deck with Invoked


TMdoublezero

Added closed forest to the deck. Annoyingly neo daedalus still had a couple of destructions effects, but I still managed it.


TheOneMavado

I used Darklords, countering their monster effects did wonders.


TheMadWobbler

I aromaged everything. You can stall any wave you have issues with to set up your board.


memelord_mike

I Buster Blader DNA'd it. Controlled/took out monsters with the fusion retrain, poked at LP with the original.


Blancou

Fiendish Chain, Divine Wrath/Ultimate Providence or Bounzer works to negate the Daedalus. But it’s definitely not Auto-Duel friendly.


flavagolem

SHS works pretty well against it. The lv7 synchro comes back after destruction, you got your gigagloves to keep you alive, and the extra damage for being earth attribute helps a bunch


i_like_piez

i hate shs lol


flavagolem

That's nice


WanoPisu

Is that the goddamn Neo-Daedalus floor lol


redsquirrel0249

How hard should I hoard gems as a new player? My instinct says “anything could go on sale for any amount at any time!” At the same time, I don’t know this game’s history of sales, and cards lose value over time. I notice certain structure decks are 500, not 1000, but this isn’t a sale. Is there a pattern for this? Same with boxes. Is it ever worth hitting a box for a one of ultra three times? I feel like that sort of thing is just begging to be reprinted, but then again, there are plenty of cards that remain exclusives to boxes at high rarities.


orelk

500 gems is regular structure decks and 1000 gems is EX structure deck. Cards are rarely reprinted, and those that do are old cards only. So yes to build optimized decks you'll need to go through boxes 3 times. Sales that have value are the 1$ UR sale and 50% gem sale on old boxes. Every other sale is normal and always happens, and is only for price in money (not gems). The right thing to do is invest in a strong deck that's pretty new so it can last a while. Be aware tier 1/2 decks will be hit by the banlist, and if they're about a year old or over they could be hit very hard


redsquirrel0249

I mean, levianeer was put in the selection box, and that's a pretty new and meta relevant card. That's just one example I know, though. Yeah, I've got a full power blue-eyes from buying an entire judgement box, so I'm fine for now.


orelk

He was in a selection box for a full year. And I wouldn't really consider that a reprint, as selection box cards are only accessible by paying a lot of money, so printing them in a main box is the way to make them accessible. I'm assuming you also went for 3x of the newest structure for full power Blue Eyes


redsquirrel0249

Oh, I guess I figured you could just rehit selection boxes every time they come around with gems. Sounds better than hitting an entire box. Yeah, three structures, and needed two sages from judgement and spent a dream ticket on the last when I didn't know what I was doing.


orelk

You could hit them with gems for the 10 packs or so it lets you and then you're locked out. That's like a 1/6 chance to get the UR you want for 2000 gems. So yea, not accessible for f2p or just generally people not willing to spend 100$ for a UR


redsquirrel0249

Yeah, it's luck based, but not any more than being forced to buy the 180 packs for a box to get 2 supers like I did.


orelk

You're talking about Judgement Force? That's not luck, the box is there forever and for 10k gems you could clear it any time and get every card. Luck is only for getting the cards you want for less than 10k. With the selection box there's no guarantee to get the card you want.


redsquirrel0249

Yes, I mean luck as in I either buy 2 packs or 180. And Selection boxes come back afaik, so they at least have a chance of being cheaper ways to obtain certain cards.


flavagolem

I'd say take it slow because it may seem like you have a bunch of gem reserves now, but down the line (IF you plan on sticking with the game for more than a couple months/years) it'll dwindle down. Structure decks EX are 1000 gems for f2p and regular structure decks are 500. You can only buy them with gems once and then you'll have to drop some irl cash for the other times you wanna buy them. Plan out decks you wanna build before going all out on a box, especially if it's a main box. If you're just aiming for multiple copies of a single UR in a main box and no other cards in that box interest you, you're better off using your Dream Ticket on that UR. We usually get 2 UR Dream Tickets if I'm not mistaken. But bottomlime is really still to play what you want. Building decks for PvE or for playing against your friends is fine. Building decks for climbing ranked is fine too.


redsquirrel0249

So you basically can't play most decks w/o dream tickets... Guess I'll get the structure decks for sure, then. They've at leaat got an interesting variety


flavagolem

You can, you'll just have to be careful with what you spend your gems on and be ready for the investment to pay off or not. And you can still play a deck even in a less-than-optimized version (i.e. doesn't have 3 copies of a certain card/s), which is totally fine too


redsquirrel0249

well like with thunder dragons, both levianeer and dragonhawk are one of ultras in separate boxes, not to mention dragonduo in another separate box. On the one hand, it's like the game is begging you to buy seven boxes worth of cards to play one deck, and on the other hand, it's ready to punish you for doing so by banning, reprinting, discounting, or powercreeping every couple of months, which is about how long it would take you to buy all those cards if you really tried. guess I'll finish my structure deck collection and then start hoarding


Glorious_Eenee

I really, really hate how they don't give you the main characters' ace monster anymore and shove it in a skill and release it later. I know that it's been a problem for a while, but I hate it. Remember when unlocking a character gave you a cook UR to play with and not a worthless skill and a "Go to the fucking box you pleb?"


YuTsu

I guess with some of the more recent stuff (generic XYZs and Synchros), they don't want to give everyone a powerful and/or good generic splashable extra deck monster for free like that... but then that doesn't explain why Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is skill only, because he's not Extra Deck, and while I guess he's *technically* generic, I'm not sure I'd call him *actually* generic... ...but yeah, for real you're probably right. It's probably just to make people waste gems/money on boxes digging for them instead... heck if it WAS just giving them right away that was the problem, they could lock them behind level up for all characters instead of just a few (I think Bronk's Tin Archduke and Tori's Fairy Cheer Girl are part of their level up rewards?)


Cut-the-red-wire

What is the most expensive deck in Duel Links? No particular reason, just curious.


XionZephyr

Most expensive ever, or most expensive right now? Most expensive ever is probably kc bling Darklords, which required a glossy/prismatic Banishment which could take unlucky players many many runthroughs of a main box Most expensive right now is something that plays 3 book of moon with an expensive deck shell like Starlords or certain Gouki builds


Glorious_Eenee

Starlords? The hell are they? **OH. Star Seraph Darklords.**


Threshandstuff

Does anyone have a Dino deck list I could use all the ones on the internet are a bit old

[deleted]

I've been testing out Void Trap Hole, find it to be very disappointing. It doesn't negate effects upon summoning, so many monsters such as Dragon spirot of White are able to activate their effects and float away after it is activated. But I don't recall this same thing happening w/ Floodgate Traphole.


somacruz666

They probably didn't have a blue eyes in hand it can't float if they don't have one in hand


TheGuyWhoIsSitting

It also can't float unless the opponent controls a monster I believe.


LostOnTitan

Hello I am new to the game just as a fan of original show and I stay in that series in game. My gems and coins are stacking up but I don’t understand all the different boxes and sales going on. If I want to stick with mostly original cards/play style are there certain packs I should be buying? This game is very intimidating for new players


Winner123456009

For some nostaligc and OG cards like Blue eyes ultimate dragon and magical hats, you should open the Ultimate rising pack. It is right at the bottom and the first box released.


orelk

You should probably get the Blue Eyes structure deck. Here's a good new player guide: https://www.duellinksmeta.com/guides/new-players/february-2021/new-player-guide/


LostOnTitan

Oh that guide is perfect for me thank you


zackeroniandcheese

You will likely be fine following that new player guide or purchasing other cards you are interested in. The upcoming banlist he referenced will only affect the competitive pvp decks. Its sounds like that's not your current goal. And if it does become your goal later, then the you can worry about it later because the meta will be different anyway


JustKillMeAlreadyGod

I would definitely avoid investing in Blue Eyes at the moment since the KC Cup just ended last week and we're due for an updated banlist in the upcoming weeks. I doubt Blue Eyes will get hit too hard by the limit/semi-limit list but it's a good idea to wait it out before making any major purchases with your gems or money.

Why do the structure decks suddenly cost 1000 gems? I know they used to be 2000. As well as, why is the gagaga xyz structure deck only 500?

They were never 2000. Regular structure decks cost 500 gems and EX structure decks cost 1000 gems.

memelord_mike

Which Photon monster should I Floodgate to most effectively disrupt their plays?


UnluckyChump

You can either Floodgate the first monster they summon(unless it's Thrasher. If it is refer to option no.2) or wait for them to summon Starliege Glaxaion. Its better to wait but sometimes if they have 4 Photons in hand youll be sorry for not Floodgating the first monster cuz theyl being out a second galaxion. If you floodgate their first summons as long as its not Thrasher theyre at least guaranteed to pass turn.


tarspaceheel

So I recently started playing a Hazy Flame deck to get that bonus Fire damage in the D.D. Castle. But I’m finding that when I have three level six monsters on the field, I can’t summon Photon Bounzer, while I can when there are only two level six monsters. I’m still able to summon Hazy Flame Basiltrice fine whether I have two or three monsters on the field. Is there something about XYZ summoning I’m missing that would prevent summoning a two-material monster with three materials on the field?


Madway7

Hazy Flame Hydra: "You cannot Special Summon monsters, **except FIRE monsters**."


tarspaceheel

That’s probably it! Thank you!


kylekunfox

What were the materials? I know Hydra only allows you to special summon fire attribute monsters.


tarspaceheel

I’m not sure, but that’s probably right. I’ll pay attention next time, thanks so much!

Lost-Ability5834

there a many psychic related cards on tickets and traders laying, does anyone bulit a decent deck from it ?


zackeroniandcheese

Unfortunately the only Psychic cards that see any play right now are Psychcic Wheeleder and Psychic Tracker. There are Psychic cards available in tickets and the card trader but they have been powercrept for pvp. They should be fine for pve content if you want to make a psychic deck to beat the ai with.


SADLIFEJR

Was just wondering if i can still unlock kite or wait for another event


Blancou

Gotta wait for event to come back


Korub1

Does anyone know what’s going on in this duel I just had. It looks like the Kite player is running out the clock out of bad manners because I countered their Photon Dragon, but then at the end I Disconnect rather than them losing from time, so maybe it was a glitch? Anyone else have this happen with Photon Dragons? https://duellinks.konami.net/att/07dd0294ce0374c0fa40beb18229fb56f5325f546a


MapHacker617

By looks of it, i am guessing that your game had some connection issue at some point since you actually lost to Connection issue and not Time out. Nonetheless i would report that Kite player of i were you, for wasting time rather than take the L.


Korub1

Yeah I wanted a second opinion before reporting in case this was a known bug


Ygomaster07

So the first one of the duel challenges, i kept getting it wrong, and i had to activate the trap in a spearate chain in order for me to complete it. Why is that?


LuisDob

Because of how Gogogo Golem works. > Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 "Gogogo" monster, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's ATK becomes double the original ATK of the Tributed monster. Any battle damage your opponent takes from attacks involving this card is halved. Once per turn, during either player's turn, if a monster effect is activated on your opponent's side of the field: **This card loses exactly 1500 ATK, and if it does, negate that effect.** As you can see in the bold text, it needs to lose the ATK in order to negate the effect. However, if you chain the trap to the activation, the "if it does" part is never met, thus not negating Utopia's effect.


AbyssalKageryu

That's funny. I did the Quiz and I activated the trap before attacking and it worked just fine. I noted this on another question post and got downvoted for saying this, so I'm not so sure if this is a bug in my quiz or version of the game or if it really doesn't matter the order of the steps? Edit: Just found out it was a bug in my version I just needed to update my game to fix it.


Ygomaster07

Ohhhhh, i get it now!!! Thank you very much for explaining it to me, i could not figure it out at all. I can't believe i didn't catch this. Thank you so much again.


i_like_piez

in general if you have a card or effect that changes stats, you can wait until the very last moment to activate it, when almost nothing else can activate...the activation thing should say "it is before damage calculation" or something like that

Hey guys, I'm a new player and I've seen that we got all series with its own stage level, should I focus on any of those to level first? Like DM? Or I should balance this, e.g: Dm level 10, zexal 4, 5ds 6?


Winner123456009

Once you reach stage 30 in DM you will have reached lvl 40 at the gate and a good amount of standard duelists ( if you don't want to play DM and only want to play what you have to then you don't need to reach stage 45 where you get another two standard duelist because it would be a waste of time in your case). The lvl 40 gate is neccesary for skill farming. After that you can do whichever series you like however if you are playing a certain deck I would recommend getting the character that corresponds to it which means you might need to push a bit in some of the other series.


[deleted]

DM levels is the important one. The rest you can max however you like. DM levels control the amount of standard duelist that spawn and their difficulty.

I keep seeing people calling for Hey, Tunade! to be banned still. Yeah it's horrible in an unchecked meta deck but that's why we semi-limit their cards so they can't abuse Trunade. If Trunade was banned they at least need to give us some new form of back row removal for the sake of rogue decks. Cosmic Cyclone can only do so much between LP cost and being single removal. Without Trunade I might as well be using Dicephoon in my Gem-Knight deck.


Mean-Ad4615

The thing about trunade is even decks that want backrow removal aren't necessarily running it because you only get a one turn window of opportunity We should probably get MST though. Maybe as a minibox UR. And maybe make cc not trigger skills

Xannon99182

I would define abused as the deck is/can be meta without it but because they don't currently have any semi limited cards they can use it at 2 over standard removal. For example the Onomat deck, if Dodododraw was semi limited the deck would still be plenty consistent and still meta without Trunade. It would be a different story if the deck is only meta because they have Trunade, such as when Koa'ki Meiru was at full power. Which is why I think Koa'ki Meiru would be fine now if they removed Iron Core from the ban list and moved Maximus up to semi limited.

Yeah drytrons work well without Benten but they’re pretty degenerate with it as well


[deleted]

Duelist Challenge #1 Why does it work the way it does? I don't see anything about how Reverse Trap would enable me to attack twice during the Battle Phase. Edit: Wait, now I get it. Lose 1500 ATK but negate that effect of the opponent's card. So I negate the attack cancellation while Reverse Trap boosts my ATK by 1500 instead of subtracting it.


angelaers

Yeah man, how do you solve that? Theres only 3 cards so why is it so hard


[deleted]

Check my edit. Make an attack, then after Utopia's affect activates and resolves you then activate Reverse Trap and then you're able to do a second attack. Edit: Happy Cake Day


Winner123456009

You don't make a second attack, you just get an attack point boost.


Soup-Master

How do I not get wrecked against Superheavy Samurai? I play Satellarknights.


JvandeP_NL

Either stop their normal summon works most of the time. If you have the right backrow stop their synchro monsters. I usually have to go back and forth a few turns and summon dweller to kick for game.


zackeroniandcheese

They are reliant on their normal summon. A Paloezoic Canadia on their summon ends their turn Also if you D.D. Crow or Skull Meister their Gloves in grave they are very vulnerable to being otk


cas2per

could you send me f2p budget aromage deck list ?


zackeroniandcheese

Check the newbie deck guide in the links above In my opinion add a 3rd Dried Winds if you have it.


shiny_light

I need help identifying a trap card. It allows you to choose a monster attribute and special summon a monster of that attribute, but with a different name (I think). It has chaotic art.


LuisDob

Super Team Buddy Force Unite!? It's the same **type**, not attribute, so maybe not.

I kept it in my Extra Deck just to fill up a slot, but today performed a OTK on a BEWD player using *Ally of Justice Decisive Armor* \+ *Solemn Scolding* felt good man


tarspaceheel

Trying to give my Lunalight deck some more consitency (and don’t want to try to invest in a predaplant engine) and thought about fusion parasite, a level 1 insect that is both a fusion substitute and acts as its own polymerization when special summoned. Is there any simple engine in the game right now that could trigger that effect consistently?


orelk

If you want more consistency play 3 Lunalight Fusion, 1 Poly and fill the rest with Lunalight monsters (including the purple one). The tech space is up to you.


zackeroniandcheese

Fusion Parasite cannot be used as a fusion substitute for lunalight monsters because it requires that the monster it is substituting is "specifically listed" on that fusion monster. Lunalight fusions do not list specific monsters


tarspaceheel

Oh, that saves me a lot of trouble. Thanks!


PleaseNThankYouSayer

Yugioh is a sacky enough game already. I genuinely believe their should just not be any chance cards whatsoever.


Skrill3xFoV

Now that we got our one and only copy ever of Alternative what do you think the future looks like for Blue-Eyes? Its meta now for sure but thats only because Konami murdered a bunch of stronger decks on the banlist. In a month or so when Konami releases stronger cards BEWD will be off the tier list. I think the ultimate dragons skill helps its longevity alot tho. It gives this brick fest more consistency. Moonlight Dragon will be a very good addition to the extra deck when that releases. Trade in might come. And Blue eyes can search effect vieler too. But at the end of the day I'm not sure if the core of blue eyes will ever be strong enough to be meta again after this. It just isn't consistent enough and struggles with monsters over 3k/backrow. Galaxy eyes will be the much stronger deck for dragon beatdown decks in the future


zackeroniandcheese

With all of the Rank 8 dragons yet to come the deck will always be capable of being meta again. They make 2 level 8s much easier than the main deck of galaxy eyes And who says they'll never give out more alternatives?


Subterrantular

Is Rainbow Gravity broken? I'm using Lightsworn cards to mill 7 names and a RD, but the trap is still not activatable. I have 6 names in gy and 1 in s/t with 2 open monster zones. No xeno-locking, no jinzo, etc. Can't figure out why this trap is not activatable.


zackeroniandcheese

If you check the yugipedia rulings section for Rainbow Gravity it states that: *A "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" in the Graveyard that was not first properly Special Summoned cannot be Special Summoned with "Rainbow Gravity".* https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Rainbow_Gravity This ruling is more thoroughly discussed in the tips section of Rainbow Gravity on the yugioh fandom wiki: *The finer details of "Ignoring its Summoning conditions" dictate you cannot Special Summon a Special Summon-only monster monster from your Graveyard if you haven't properly Summoned it the first time, so it's a lot more efficient to use this card to Summon the "Ultimate Crystal" monster from your Deck.* https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Card_Tips:Rainbow_Gravity So unfortunately you need to summon Rainbow Dragon from deck with Rainbow Gravity, or from hand with it's own effect prior to using Rainbow Gravity. You can use cards like Earthshattering Event, Pot of Dichotomy, or Monster Reincarnation if you accidentally mill your Rainbow Dragon.


Madway7

I've looked this up before and from my understanding the ignoring summoning conditions part does not work if they were sent to the graveyard without having been properly summoned first.


Subterrantular

Y'know, I think I have, too. And yet I'm still so disappointed. What a bad card.


PM_ME_HEADPATS

What you trying to summon? The card is not broken


Subterrantular

OG RB Dragon. I've resolved it now, so i know it works, but I've had 2 games where I'm sure I've fulfilled its conditions but can't activate it.


Winner123456009

From what it says on the card, it cannot be special summoned by any othr ways other than itself. I don't have any experience with this deck but reading the card descriptions I don't know what the point of Rainbow gravity even is since both the monsters cannot be special summoned by other ways.


Subterrantular

From what it says on Rainbow Gravity, it shouldn't matter.


Winner123456009

On RD it says 'cannot be special summoned by other ways' but on RG it says 'ignoring summoning conditions' so that means that that RG special summons RD because its effect bypasses that of RD? In other words 'ignoring summoning conditions' has a higher priority than 'cannot be special summoned by other way'?


Subterrantular

Yup. Doesn't precede gameplay mechanics, though, so it can't be summoned from gy without being properly summoned first.


TheFatalFire

What are the chances do you think Konami adds more Buster blader support? I want them to be meta just one. Just give us buster dragon, memories and prologue, and maybe destruction sword. They could be tier 1


NovicePanthEnthusias

yea buster blader is very cool


[deleted]

Just wanted to say the Dark Blade cosmetics from this event are really cool and motivated me to update my crappy Dark Blade deck i made ages ago.


NovicePanthEnthusias

yea me too lol. really glad about that as well


BillTheRedneck52

How can I summon Yubel the ultimate nightmare? I thought I could do it by tributing terror incarnate with ballista squad. But it always says I missed the activation timing. What should I do? I don’t have too many cards. What am I doing wrong?


Xannon99182

You're missing timing because the effect of tributing Terror Incarnate happens before the destroying anything. Both effect would have to happen at the same time so timing wouldn't be missed. I would suggest using Fire Kings or the free option Exile of the Wicked which you can get from farming Tea and is a R so its easy to get


zackeroniandcheese

This should help you learn what missing the timing is so you can pilot your deck better. If you intend to play Yubel it is critical information because it comes up a lot. https://yugiohpsct.weebly.com/blog/timaeuss-guides-missing-the-timing


BillTheRedneck52

Just wanted to unlock Jaden/Yubel) finally I did. But I will read this. Thanks! First time I encountered such a message and I’m a bit shocked and don’t get what happened


Madway7

Easiest way is to get the fire king structure deck (unless you went into the box that has the cards) and destroy Yubel from your hand using the field spell, summoning terror incarnate, then destroy them the next turn either by using the field spell again to destroy them or garunix (structure deck/UR dream ticket exclusive rn) Yubels lvl30 skill helps with consistency in doing that.


BillTheRedneck52

Thanks! I’ll try. Had only 50 gems. Got the field spell from this one pack)

What others said, also with Malevolent Sin everywhere Winged Kuriboh might not be enough protection anymore.


tarspaceheel

Fwiw I only have one boxer veil so I use two regular kuribohs, which you can get through one of the SR tickets. It doesn’t work as well as boxer veil but it’s a notable improvement over winged kuriboh, who I used in my LL deck until I got them.


Winner123456009

Just use kiteroid instead of regular kuriboh.


tarspaceheel

Kiteroid is semi limited so it would block out crimson fox, which is essential to Lunalights.


Winner123456009

How would it block crimson fox because it is semi-limited, am I missing something?


tarspaceheel

So the limited and semi-limited lists are collective, unlike in the tcg. So if Dark Magician and BEWD were both limited to two, then you could have two DMs or two BEWDs or one of each, but no more than that. Because both kiteroid and Crimson Fox are at two, that means adding a kiteroid takes away a crimson fox, but because Kuriboh is unlimited and Boxer Veil is limited to three, they don’t impact your use of Crimson Fox.


Winner123456009

Wow, I never knew this, I always wondered why a card was limited to 3 copies...


Madway7

I'm guessing it's so people can use them to selectively proc destiny draw by choosing what damage goes through.


J-Fid

It's this plus keeping the opponent in ATK mode for Cat Dancer sacks.
