Skill updates [Feb 27 Updated]

Duel Links skill rebalancing.
update 27/02/2023

Current

Begin Duel with the Field Spell Harpies' Hunting Ground activated.

Update

Begin the Duel with the Field Spell "Harpies' Hunting Ground" on the top of your deck.

Note

The skill has to be used with a specific set of cards to be effective, and will be altered in a way that adds more versatility to how it can be used.

Parasite Infestation

Current

After starting hands are dealt, a random number of "Parasite Paracide" cards are added to opponent's Deck, Face up.

Update

After starting hands are dealt, 1 or 2 "Parasite Paracide" cards are added to your opponent's deck face up.

Note

The fact that Weevil only added 2 "Parasite Paracide" to Joey's deck in manga, the number of "Parasite Paracide" will be decreased to 2.

Fairy's Smile

Current

If you normal draw a Fairy-Type monster card during the Draw Phase, the card is shown to the opponent and you recover 500 Life Points.

Update

If you normal draw a Fairy-Type monster card during the Draw Phase, the card is shown to the opponent and you recover 1000 Life Points.

Note

Recovering 1000LP is a huge difference in a duel, with this update, Fairies might be given a chance in the meta.

Three-Star Demotion

Current

Can be used by paying 2000 Life Points. Until the End Phase, reduce the Level of all monsters in your hand by 3. This skill can only be used once per turn.

Update

Can be used by paying 3000 Life Points. Until the End Phase, reduce the Level of all monsters in your hand by 3. This skill can only be used once per turn.

Note

Paying 2000LP is too low for summoning top-level monsters. Once implemented the numbers of Paradox Brother' in the meta might be reduced.

Previous update

Switcheroo

Previously

Return 1 card in your hand to your Deck and draw another. This skill can only be used once per turn and twice per Duel.

Current

Can be used each time your Life Points decrease by 1000. Return 1 card in your hand to your Deck and draw another. This skill can only be used once per turn and twice per Duel.

Note

With no increase to how many times you can use it, adding a LP requirement to using the skill makes it quite a big nerf. This will mean that Keith players will not be able to use the skill early in the duel. Switching Thunder Dragons will not be able to be used early, but Venus decks might be unaffected.

Reinforcement

Previously

Can be used each time your Life Points decrease by 1800. In the Draw Phase, instead of doing a normal draw, draw a random Warrior-Type monster.

Current

Can be used each time your Life Points decrease by 1800. Return 1 card from your hand to your Deck and draw a random Warrior-Type monster.

Note

Similar to other "Draw Sense" skills, except you use a card from your hand, and that it can be activated during your turn instead of draw phase. This can help you search for a specific card if you only have 1 in your deck.

Prescience

Previously

Can be used when your opponent's Life Points are more than twice your Life Points. You can see cards at the top of decks of both players.

Current

You can view the top card of both players' Decks until the end of the 5th turn.

Note

Currently unused due to how tricky the requirement is, but with the new changes, it can be pretty good. Knowing what some cards your opponent uses will most likely let you know what sort of deck they are running. Seeing cards like Warm Worm, or any ritual supports will make you be more careful and play differently.

Endless Trap Hell

Previously

Can be used each time your 3 trap cards are sent to the graveyard. A random trap card in your graveyard is shuffled into your deck.

Current

Can be used when you have 3 trap cards in the Graveyard. 1 random Trap Card in your Graveyard is added to your hand. Then, shuffle 1 random Trap Card in your Graveyard into your Deck. This skill can only be used once per Duel.

Note

This skill might not be very effective since traps often work because your opponent is unaware of what the trap card is, but it can be good to get a card advantage for your hand and deck. It's good for traps like Divine Wrath, or Trap Jammer instead of cards like The Golden Apples or Magical Arm Shield.

Shouldn't it be a box for Rio?

There will probably be a few Rio cards as a bait. But regular Rio doesn't have that many cards to begin with and some are already in Duel Links.

Konami keeps buffing certain skill but more than 50% of the skills are still pure trash.

Extra Balloons can at least be used in a fun meme deck.

when scale 10 for all monster

Yeah, a Skill that makes the higher Scale becomes Scale 10 would be great, I'd use it with my SHS deck so that I can actually Pendulum Summon SHS Benkei. (Seriously, who the heck is the idiot at Konami that think a Scale 8 for SHS is a great idea when SHS Benkei, the OG ace of the deck, is Level 8???)

Haven't open the game yet, but looks like "Battle! Ancient Gear" simply has a wording clarification?

The effect remains exactly the same from what I'm reading here

Yeah, I was wondering the same. It doesn't look like a buff.

Don't take what you see on dlm that seriously, when sylvan got the new support I was so hyped went to dlm to check KoG lists and they didn't even made sense, 100% fake, some had like only 3 real starters in a 25 cards deck, others had over half the deck with high lvl monsters, in some there was no way to activate or use the skill.
Keeps happening with new decks, as if trying to sell them

congrats you just found out why they replaced the deck tester function for one that only lets you simulate starting hand

I agree that some of the decks are 100% fake. I have tested many of those "win streak decks" just to realise some are pure craps. Dkayed should had made some videos exposing those fake decks and kicking the liers f the kog deck lists. Personally I remember a guy posting a 25 card exodia deck fgs. I tried to play the deck and all I achieved was a countless loosing streak.

Just reminder. Banlist usually happens when a bad box is about to come.

Dear players,
The purpose of banlist is not to make a new bad box look good, but to force players to buy the new bad box, as their old decks will not be as strong as before.

~Thank you for playing Duel Link$!

First Arc V box is a good box that give us call of the haunted alike. And boost a bunch of old decks with boss monsters. Nothing to complain about.

1-Release a trash box
2-Give an op skill to any trash deck from that box
3-Sell it as meta deck
4-Nerf the skill, deck becomes garbage again
5-Repeat from step 1

Onomat dead
Cyberdragon dead
Thunderdragon dead (+ Methaphys)

Harpies nerfed lightly
Resonator nerfed
Gaia nerfed
Endless Trap Shiranui dead

Destiny Draw laughs
Floodgate Limit 3 is pointless without more cards on Limit 3.

New Lunalights + Blue Eyes meta?

TD without wolf will become a slow heavy trap deck like Shiranui.

Cydras are dead. This skill is all about pushing whales to get 3 cydras.

Floodgate limitation means you have to choose between cosmic cyclone and endless traphole in this pendulum format.
<< Anonymous
Nickfer Reply
My bad. I meant Cosmic Cyclone. That card and Floodgate will be on the Limited 3 list, making it so you can only play 3 copies of either or both cards.

What even happened with the updated Galaxy Photon skill? If anything they made the skill more vague. You can’t have any number cards in the main deck.

Now you can run number monsters even if they are not light attribute

In short now they can use malevolent sin

Gotcha. Wish the wording was better still. I was afraid you could only play light number Xyz monsters in the extra deck to use the skill.
