How to Get High Score

This page notes what the score is in Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links, the list of conditions, and how to gain high score.
update 15/02/2017

Score

Based on Duel Assessments

The amount of score is based on the conditions players achieve in a duel. The more amount of score can be obtained as the achieved assessments are difficult.

One Reward by 1,000 Score

Players can obtain one reward per 1000 score when winning a duel. For example, when the score is 2000 or more but less than 3000, you can get 2 rewards.

Tips

Over 6,000 score

Quick Victory and Comeback Victory can be active at the same time and gives you score of 2,500. Not easy to achieve two of them in a duel, but not impossible.

Over 9,999 Damage and Cards on the Brink

To achieve those two is the most popular way to get high score from Legendary Duelists. See the list of cards that can increase their ATK over 10,000.

Quick Victory and No Damage

Quick Victory and No Damage are the easiest conditions to achieve. Using high stats monster cards and equip spell may also allow you to achieve Over 3000 Damage.

Depends on your opponent

If your opponent use spell cards decreasing your life points, LP on the Brink will be easier to achieve. Understanding cards in the opponent's deck is important.

having 2000 hp difference does not seem sufficient for 'comeback victory': It now happened to me multiple times that Pegasus attacked me right at turn 2 with 'Toon Goblin Attack Force' so that i had 2700 hp and he 4000hp and i still did not get 'comback victory'

I think millennium scorpion deck is much more stable and less risky than cerberus deck to get 5000 dmg

i have done come back victory, but it doesn't stack with normal victory.
So for take come back victory, you will lose "no damage" and "normal victory", so you will not take more points in the end.

Other problem about 9999 damage, is that it requires Cerbero or other not easy to have card. I Play since the 27/01/2017 and from than, i never found Cerbero at the trader.
Other cards looks wonderfull, but it is not easy to have all the combo when you arrive at stage 30 to duel against lvl 40 Leggendary Duellist.

So, if i can suggest, to do points for the beginner player (i am only at 37 stage, but it works a bit) you have to summon ritual/tribute/fusion monster, if you have Brillant card, use them, try to not take damage, and do the "over 5000 damage" that is easyer.

(example > any monster ritual, with the 3 magic equipped that gives 1500 each one. that card is common, and you can achieve it easy (1800points more)).

A few of the bonuses are a bit unclear, I would recommend updating their descriptions to clarify they work a bit. Here's a few things I was confused about and tested in isolated circumstances(100% sure they are correct):

"Over 3000 Damage!" - You need to deal MORE than 3000 damage, it does not include 3000 itself to get the bonus. Also you don't have to cause their life to decrease by that amount, you just have to hit them with that much damage in one attac. It can be done even while they are at 50 life.

"Comeback Victory" - You just need to have 2000 less life points than your opponent at any point in the duel (not tested for values over 4000).

Also, I can confirm glossy bonus is now 50. If it's more that may be from playing multiple glossy cards, but that's just a guess.

hmmm, scratch that last one, after posting on reddit someone came in with a stronger theory for comeback victory: https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/comments/5qmccy/a_bit_of_clarification_on_how_to_get_comeback/

Basically, you just need to win on a turn that started with your life points lower than the enemies.

Glossy bonus is definitely 100 per card.

Performing a special summon gives 100 points
DJFoo000
The Over 3000 Damage! and Over 5000 Damage! requires OVER 3000 and 5000 to count, meaning 3001 or 5001. Dealing exactly 5000 damage to LP only gives the Over 3000 Damage! bonus.

This is to say the usage of "or" in "Decrease the opponent's life points by 5,000 or more with one attack." is wrong.

you get it when your opponent's monster's attack can already 🔥 you, that's when the music starts playing differently. If you manage to win after that is when you can get it.
