Versions:
Yu-Gi-Oh!
franchise was released last Wednesday (19):Master Duel
is available forPC
,Xbox
,PS4
,PS5
andNintendo Key
. To get a good start in the game and your first deck, you should follow some tips and know where to invest your resources.Game Modes
Master Duel
has arrived with two game modes available, let's talk about each one.Duel:
Duels arePvP
matches, where we can playFree Duels
andRanked Duels
. InRanked
you earn points (forDuel Pass
) and rank up, you will always receiveGems
upon reaching a new rank.Ad

Solo:
TheSolo
mode works like a campaign mode, where the player ventures intoPvE
matches (Single Player), advancing their progress and unlocking new stories. We also find tutorials in the middle of these campaigns, which show all the mechanics ofYu-Gi-Oh!
. Both tutorials andSolo
matches will provide you with rewards such asGems
,Cards
and more.
Rarities
Master Duel
also has a rarity system. In the game you can find cards of these rarities: -Common
(N); -Rare
(R); -Super Rare
(SR); -Ultra Rare
(UR).How to get resources?
Gems:
Gems
are like a gold, used to buypacks
or offers. You can acquire them throughDuel Pass
,Solo
mode andMissions
. So playSolo Mode
a lot, it's your biggest source ofGems
.CP:
CPs
are equivalent toArcane Dust
fromHearthstone
, and are used to generate specific cards in-game. You can earn them in theDuel Pass
by dismantlingCards
and completing someMissions
.
Where to invest your Gems?
Gems
, you should know where to invest them for your firstdeck
.Duel Pass:
TheDuel Pass
is your priority, theMaster Duel
offers the goldenDuel Pass
for only600 Gems
, and you can unlock it without putting real money into the game. The golden pass will give you the same600 Gems
(returning the amount invested), plus100 CP
โUR
and more rewards! TheDuel Pass
has a duration of75 days
, you will finish it easily. To level up in the pass, you must playRanked Duels
orEvent Duels
to earn points:50
to100
points for playing a duel (important: you will not earn points if you surrender),120
points if you win. From grade1
to30
, the points required to grade up vary between50
and90
points, and from grade31
, exact100
points will be required.
Bundle Deal:
Here you will receive your first cards; try to buy theBundle Deal
. There are currently three bundles, and each one of them cost750 Gems
, providing10 Master Packs
and1 UR card
(referring to the bundle). It is recommended to buy all three, as only10 boosters
cost1,000 Gems
. You save250
for each bundle (750
savings if you buy all three) and you still get an extraUR
(3 URs
if buy the three bundles).
Packs:
Did you see that got some keys while opening yourMaster Packs
These keys areSecret Packs
that you unlocked, invest the rest of your gems in these packs. Look for some deck you want to build and see if you have theSecret Pack
of that archetype, then you can buy them. If you don't have, just useCP
to generate aSR
orUR
card of this archetype, so you will release yourSecret Booster
for24 hours
