Preliminary information

Before explaining what the best Duel Links decks are , I think you might be interested in learning more about these decks and the title involved.

Well, Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links , available for free for Android , iOS / iPadOS and Steam (Windows PC) , is a game that brings the experience of traditional physical trading cards to the virtual world . The title relies heavily on deck building , i.e. building your own deck of cards.

Inside the game there are hundreds of cards (over 700) , and of course we are talking about the same ones that are also available in physical edition. The game rules are also clearly what the Yu-Gi-Oh series has accustomed players to: you win when your opponent’s life total goes to zero . This means that it is possible to build particularly complex custom decks , made of Monster , Magic and Trap cards . The latter can be obtained by purchasing booster packs through gems(the virtual currency available in-game), unlocking characters called Legendary Duelists or leveling up the latter.

As you may have already guessed, the title pushes the player to create the deck of cards that best suits his needs and this step is of fundamental importance to be able to bring home concrete results, both against artificial intelligence and in battles against others. players . For this reason, I advise you to pay particular attention to the information I will give you in the next chapters.

Best Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links Decks

Having given you a general smattering of the game, I’d say you’re ready to take action. Below, you will find everything you need to get the deck of your dreams, from directions to get the best decks of cards for the various game modes to traditional decks that can be unlocked in Duel Links.

Legendary Duelist Deck

Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links includes various unlockable characters , which are also among the most iconic in the universe stemming from Kazuki Takahashi’s manga. Each of them has its own deck and therefore it is important to unlock all Legendary Duelists in order to use their cards in their own custom deck . Don’t know how to do it? I’ll explain immediately how to proceed.

Well, at the beginning of the game you will be asked to choose between Yami Yugi  and Seto Kaiba . This will be the first character you will unlock and of course you will have his deck immediately available . For the rest, all you have to do is continue playing and complete the missions proposed by the game. You can access them by pressing the Missions icon on the top left.

By completing the objectives proposed by the game and redeeming the related rewards , you will advance in the various phases of the game. Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links will gradually introduce you to the Legendary Duelists through dialogue , so you won’t be able to miss their arrival in the game world in any way. However, in order for a Legendary Duelist to spawn, it is usually necessary to reach a certain Phase , defeat this character in battle, and meet other conditions .

To give you a concrete example, to unlock Joey Wheeler , just reach Stage 3 and defeat him . As for Tea Gardner and her deck of cards, you have to get to Phase 5 , defeat her , use Spell / Trap cards 5 times and beat her again (but at level 20 ) in the Duel World.

Usually, to challenge the Legendary Duelists, you have to press on the Gate on the right of the main screen of the game and spend the Keys at your disposal. The latter can be obtained in various ways: for example, through the daily rewards or by winning the various battles against normal duelists.

In some cases, certain special characters appear in the game only after performing some specific actions . I refer specifically to Mako Tsunami (appears using Tribute Summon 150 times), Bastion Misawa (must win 50 rounds with 3 or fewer cards remaining in the deck), Bandit Keith (defeat 50 Legendary Duelists), Odion (use 300 trap cards), Aster Phoenix (summon Dark-type monsters 200 times), Weevil Underwood (defeat 100 normal duelists), and Ishizu (use Tribute Summon 200 times).

Other Legendary Duelists will appear within the game at certain times chosen by the developers . In this case, the events that will allow you to unlock these characters will automatically appear in the game. During the continuation of your adventure, you may therefore find yourself in front of “old acquaintances” that you may not have expected to see. Note that Legendary Duelists, once unlocked, can be used as playable characters and can level up , allowing the user to unlock more exclusive cards .

In short, in general, I recommend you to enjoy Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links and you will see that, in the end, you will be able to easily unlock all the Legendary Duelists and their respective decks. Clearly, we are talking about a constantly evolving game and I therefore want to clarify that the information in this post is to be taken as purely indicative, since the developers could decide to make changes at any moment.

PvE

The PvE mode requires the player to defy the ‘ artificial intelligence . For this reason, according to many it is important to use a deck suitable for farming , that is, aimed at obtaining experience and objects in the shortest possible time.

In this sense, some enthusiasts argue that the decks available within the game ‘s Store are more than good for this purpose, since they are designed by the developers precisely to allow users to be able to defeat all the enemies related to the challenges without too many problems. for single player . On the other hand, we are talking about enhanced decks compared to the default ones of the Legendary Duelists.

For this reason, I advise you to press on the shopping cart icon at the bottom and to press on the doors of the Store . At this point, select the Structure item at the bottom and you will see all the possible decks to buy appear on the screen . In the initial stages, the advanced decks cost 1000 gems , while the enhanced individual characters usually can take home with 500 gems .

I recommend that you try to figure out which character you will use the most during the game, playing games with all the ones you have unlocked, and buy a deck related to it. For example, if your favorite Legendary Duelist is Yami Yugi and you are just starting to play, I recommend purchasing the Sorcerer’s Alliance deck , while if you are in the advanced stages, you may want to opt for the Masters of Chaos deck .

In any case, it is always very difficult to give precise indications about the decks, since these are always based on the skills of the player . In short, as far as the PvE mode is concerned, I suggest you take a look at the Shop and choose the deck most related to the character you use the most.

PvP

The PvP mode is in online battles against other players and, therefore, in this case, it is rather important to customize your deck of cards , since the other players probably know very well those offered by the game and then they also know how to counter them.

As you have probably already guessed, there are myriads of possibilities from the point of view of customization and giving general advice on building a deck for Duel Links PvP is almost impossible, since the cards to be used vary depending on the character used and the needs of the player .

However, fans of the game have decided to share their decks with other players, so that everyone can find the deck that suits their needs. The solutions proposed by the players are promptly published on the Duel Links GamePress website (in English).

Here the experts select the best decks and the latter are published in the relevant sections, namely PvP Decks and  Farming Decks (PvE). By selecting one of the decks proposed by users, all the relevant information will be shown, from the cards contained within it to which packs you need to buy to find the latter up to the weaknesses / strengths of the deck . The decks with the dollar sign next to them are the cheapest ones , while those with a smiley face are also suitable for those who are just starting to play.

I remind you that, to modify your deck, you have to go to the Dueling Laboratory (the last building from left to right), press on the Deck Editor item and select one of the free slots of the character you want to assign the deck to. Don’t forget to also set the skill and make the deck active .

In case you need more information about the game, I also recommend that you consult the Yu-Gi-Oh encyclopedia (in English), an inexhaustible source of information about the game and the manga universe in general.

In short, now you have all the necessary information to be able to build the deck that suits your needs on Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links. I wish you a big good luck in your dueling career!
