Mark of the Dragon - Wings At the beginning of the Duel, add 2 "Dark Resonator" to your deck and 1 "Red Dragon Archfiend" to your Extra deck.	Jack Atlas

Notes

Usually you pass the first turn if you go first. This is so you can Special Summon Toon Cyber Dragon and Earth Armor Ninja.
The first Synchro you make should be a level-8 monster using Toon Cyber Dragon/Earth Armor Ninja and a level-3 Tuner as materials.
You can make your second Synchro monster with The Tricky and a level-3 Tuner to make a level-8. Or you can use Trident Warrior with a level-3 Tuner to make a level-7. Trident Warrior with Delta Fly can make level-8.
Flare Resonator boosts the attack of the Synchro monster you make with him as material.
Battle Tuned lets you banish a Tuner from the graveyard and boost your monster's attack. Use this on a Signer Dragon to triple the damage.
King's Consonance is good against Kalin's Infernity Archer, basically negating the attack and giving you a free Synchro monster.

Sylvan Synchro Decklist

Skill	What Grows in the Graveyard
Essential cards	Sylvan Monsters Naturia Rosewhip Spore
Cost	Expensive
Pack (Box reset)	Rampage of the Forest
Pack (Box reset)	Blazing Rose

What Grows in the Graveyard Begin the Duel with 1 "Dark Verger" in your Graveyard.	Akiza Izinski

Tips

Sylvan monsters let you setup your plays by putting monsters in your graveyard. Particularly setting Sylvan Komushroomo is a good first turn move because he can excavate 5 cards from your deck.
You want to get Spore and World Carrotweight Champion in your graveyard so they can be Special Summoned.
Use Spore with World Carrotweight Champion or Naturia Rosewhip with Sylvan Komushroomo to make a level-5 Synchro monster.
Naturia Rosewhip and World Carrotweight Champion will be used to make a level-7 Synchro monster. You can also use Sylvan Guardioak with Spore.
Making a level-8 Synchro monster can be done with Sylvan Marshalleaf, Dark Verger, and Naturia Rosewhip. You can use Naturia Rosewhip with a level-5 Synchro monster, or Spore with a level-7 Synchro monster.
Fairy Meteor Crush lets your Synchro monsters do piercing damage letting you maximize damage. Big Bang Shot can also be used, and also give an attack boost.
Vermillion Mech Dragon is only worth making when using Sylvan Hermitree and Spore as materials.

Is there any changes you'd make?

It seems that this event tends to pair you with a friend into couple such that very high probability that you and one of your frined have to duel with these LVL400 monster. When your friend is new player and do only several thousands and rest, then you have to spend your item to finish the monster.
THIS EVENT URGE PPL TO DELETE ALL LOW LEVEL FRIENDS (POOR IN RANK DUEL) WHICH IN FACT IS NOT REAL FDS BUT SIMPLY RANDOM FDS SUGGESTED BY SYSTEM.

this event urge people to delete the game because it's impossible to farm if you're a newbie or semi-casual. period.

Your definitely not wrong. Good thing for Konami that I like 5ds. Im going to leave a heck of a negative review when they give us a survey about the event.

I classify myself as semi casual tho ive been playing from the start i barely have any good cards and i cant even climb pvp but after a lot of perseverance I managed to farm it properly, though admittedly at times I would think to myself this game is 🔥 and 🔥 this game everytime he used infernity break

Proof that game is getting p2w more and more you need signer dragons and all of them behind paywall what a joke

With this event they are trying to drive away all their f2p players and newbies so game will just be populated by whales and dolphins. Never saw a game self-destructing like this just from a 1-week event lolz

I only have a red dragon archfiend and I use yusei’s skill to get stardust and I also have one junk berserker and I use the tuning spell cause I dont have many cards/tuners. With this Ive already completed the event to 1.6mil a while ago

B guiner

Not so hard when u know how to play, take the EX item to get double draws and summon, play riding duels whith a beatdown red demons dragunity feat hermos, whith your 2 normal summons, use a whatever dragunity combo to syncros summon 2 vajrayana, use thoes 2 effects to equip them whith aklys and phalanx, use the effect of the one whith aklys to double this orriginal attack and destroy 1 card on the field, use phalanx effect to summon itself and use him + the 2nd vajrayana to summon red demons, play hermos to summon that red eyes sword, equip it to red demons, use beatdown and then use riding duel skill to double everyone's attack, and you should be able to deal 3/4 of this lp in a turn, even managed to oneshot him once, only anoying part is that u allways play 1st because kalin don t know how to ride a bike (even vs a 8 year old kid lol), so u can sometimes get OTK before making the hit, happened twice for me out of 30 fights

Use the items, play cards carefully and this event can be done fast, allready finished there.

Four turns, absurd amount of LPs, can special summon strong monsters with ease, OTK potential and a broken skill to summon a boss monster in case any of the prior fails. 🔥 this 🔥.

Don't forget the double Avenger stalling spam. Unless you already can pierce, that piece of crap will stall you forever. Total 🔥.

The latest box will help you though. It has some cards which can help you with additional attack and piercing damage.
