Current Events > Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links 5 - "A fluffed pillow? IMPOSSIBLE!!"

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got at least one of every UR and SR from the two packs but I really wanted a second Daedalus....
---

I got two Divine Wraths.

I dunno what good that will do for me but can't hurt to have more.

I cannot defeat lv 40 YB

Racking points against him is the true challenge.
---

I can beat Lv40 Bakura about half the time, and I can always beat Lv30, since there's no stupid ectoplasmer or soul exchange.
---

I can beat him pretty consistently, but like the other poster said the challenge is getting a high score.

I'm still occasionally screwed over when he plays 2 Soul Exchanges and Ectoplasmer in one turn, that filthy cheater.
---

Bakura stops being worthwhile at 1.8 mil which is where the last gem reward is handed out

try IMT or dust barrier if you use normal monsters


if dust barrier is out ectoplasmer and soul exchange cant tribute your normal monsters and you can chain IMT on a monster targeted by soul exchange

i do it agaisnt sphere kuriboh/ e controller too if my monsters have low def
---

I gave up on racking up scores against him and just made a deck to whip his ass as quickly as possible before his bullshit overwhelms me.

I'm only fighting him for SR stones.

This.

!'basically just made a Rex deck with dust barrier, grave diggers, and that spell card that kills fiends

Just put in some prismatic cards and a ritual and polymerization if you want to add in some bonus points

Is there an alternative to sonic birds effect?

Can't think of any except draw for random spell card skill or yugi's destiny draw to get it


Lots of people use bandit Keith's switcharoo skill to increase chances of getting a ritual + monster
---

Thats unfortunate.

I did just pull Senju of the thousand hands, so at least getting the monster itself will be easier.
---

Anyone else run into this?

Yeah, I saw that.
I guess it means Lv50 Bakura shows up?
---

anyone know if bakura drops skills or nah?
---

Mai is the hardest level 40 LD tbh
---

I can't for shit get harpies hunting ground

like i've been using her pretty much the entire time and shes level 32 and she has yet to get that fucking drop.

Lots of people just don't know how to fight Relinquished. I've fought people who killed themselves because of his backlash ability and others who attack him only to get rid of his meat shield.

If you wanna beat Relinquished, you gotta get a monster stronger than him and keep it alive for a turn. Then use both monsters to kill him. Or just despelll him.
---

Just got Mako and Rex to level 30.
Thinking of getting Kaiba to 30 next.

I wait till he attacks and then twister his equip monster off


Lol.

Or the moment he's summoned and I have an e controller, I'll just use Econ to tribute my monster and take control of relinquished until the end phase so he doesn't take anything
---

The AI doesn't seem to know how to duel Relinquished either. I've won a few when they had the means to destroy him and win but didn't.

Cuz then I get a bunch of gems.

I just downloaded this. What's the best pack to buy in the store, and should I be buying one pack from different packs, or should I be buying the 10 bundles?

I hope they add in some kind of CoD Prestige type of system to let us get more than one of the level-up cards and get gems again

neo impact is probably the next pack to be removed check the cards it has you may want to put some gems on that one

Google the packs to see what you like.

Isnt neo the one with axe raider as an ultra? Grepher is a rare in flame of the tyrant and has better stats.

1 duel away from hitting 4 mill on Bakura.

I hope they bring Pegasus back later.

Looks like I missed out on mirror wall. Fucking card...

Mirror Wall is in Neo Impact. That's still up.

neo impact is the pack with mirror wall double coston and kaiser horse

Oh the other pack had magic jammer and fusion gate
. Darn it
---

Speaking of Neo Impact, I finally got one of the paladins from it.

Do decks that use it traditionally have one paladin or two? Not sure whether to skip over to one of the newer boxes for awhile or not.
---

literally had a duel where all of my spells and traps were on the top half of my deck

the first 9 cards i drew including my hand were spells and traps. Only thing keeping me alive were enemy controls and wind


thats the shittiest luck ive had so far. deck ratio is 11 monsters 9 st's

every time i've ran double paladins it felt cluttered. But i don't have senju yet so maybe try it with sonic bird and senju.

honestly i find it easier to bring blue eyes out by using Stray Lambs, Light Effigy, or Kaiser Seahorse.

Are any of the Ritual Monsters other than Relinquished actually worth using?

Paladin Dragon is pretty good. Low Ritual cost and can insta summon Blue Eyes White Dragon if you want too
---

Yeah that was the only other one that I've played around with.
---

I wish Magician of Black Chaos was worth using since it's always been one of my favorite monsters.
---

Some do have rather interesting effects. Like that one monster that can be summoned with Ritual of Grace, I think its called.

Overall though, you probably are better off without them.
---

Rituals just aren't that good of a mechanic in general.

They only got good when Nekroz came out almost 2 years ago.
---

I'm hoarding gems because a box is probably coming up soonish.
---

Hopefully they convert the leftover Bakura dice to gems instead of coins.
---

Didn't they already say in one of the announcements the dice will be converted to gold at a rate of 3 gold per dice?

They lose potential microtransactions by giving out gems tbh
