For decks to farm each Legendary Duelist, check the links below.

Basic farming decks

Ways to deal the Damage!

Each farming deck generally do the same thing, which is to deal at least more than 5,000 or 9,999 points of damage. You can go with one of the methods below if you have the required cards to use.

Union attack + Gravekeeper's Vassal

This method uses Gravekeeper's Vassal and Union Attack to increase Vassal's attack to more than 5,000 and deals effect damage for the extra bonus points. Having 2 Union Attack is always better than just using one to achieve "Over 9999 Damage". If you only managed to get 1 Union Attack, you can use Spell Reclamation to re-use it.

Cú Chulainn the Awakened

Cú Chulainn the Awakened is a ritual monster card with an attack that can be easily increased through cards like Ritual Weapon and/or Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Although his effect only lasts for 1 turn, one turn is good enough since it can be used on the last turn to deal direct damage through Secret Pass to the Treasures.

Mythical Beast Cerberus

The most simple deck to build and use to farm most Legendary Duelists. This method mainly revolves around using Mythical Beast Cerberus and spell cards. You can put any spell cards as long as one of them is either Stop Defense or Shooting Star Bow - Ceal.

Millennium Scorpion

Millennium Scorpion has the ability to increase it's attack endlessly by 500 each time it destroys enemy monster. It can also be summoned easily by using Insect Imitation through any level 4 monster.

Piranha Army

Piranha Army can be used as the finishing card to deal direct damage. Increase it's attack by using cards like Riryoku or any other attack increasing cards, it will have double the effect because of Piranha Army's effect.

Guardian Baou

This card can increase it's attack by 1,000 each time it destroys an enemy monster. It is much more trickier to use than Millennium Scorpion, since summoning this card requires an already face up Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou on your side of the field that is equipped to a different monster, and Guardian Baou itself starts at a very low attack of 800.

Piercing Moray + Jam Breeding Machine

Piercing Moray has the ability to permanently increase his attack each turn by 700 attack. It requires a tribute of fish, sea serpent, or aqua-type monster, but with the help of Jam Breeding Machine, you won't have to keep summoning new monsters.

Victory Viper

This card is available to purchase from the card trader. Victory Viper also has the ability to permanently increase its attack power indefinitely when it destroys an opponent's monster. You can also use the support spell Power Capsule to speed up the process.

Shattered Axe

With the card Shattered Axe, exclusively from Yugi Muto, you can combine it with Reverse Trap to have it be increased for a turn. Since it adds up every single turn, this will stack up faster compared to the other methods. Use either Enemy Controller + Shooting Star Bow - Ceal, or Jowls of Dark Demise to take control of that monster so you can direct attack. This only works if the equipped monster doesn't get tributed/destroyed, otherwise, you can use Tailor of the Fickle to equip to a different monster.

Megarock Dragon

Each rock monster in your graveyard is equal to 700 attack, so 15 rock monsters is enough to reach the highest damage bonus, giving you at least 5 cards in your deck that you can bring for support cards. You can also bring less rock monsters and use Gift of the Martyr to reach the threshold instead, using Des Kangaroo + The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion to get Master of Oz or through Mystical Beast of Serket. Also usable with Gravekeeper's Vassal and Union Attack.

Raging Mad Plants

Using a plant type deck, each plant monster in your graveyard will increase your plant monster's attack by 300. While it's lower than some of the attack increasing cards, if used with Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms, you only need 8 plant monsters in the graveyard to reach over 5,000 attack. This can be used with Gravekeeper's Vassal and 2 Union Attack to reach over 10,000 damage.

"Titan Showdown" skill

Similar to Piranha Army's effect, Titan Showdown skill allows any monster card to be able to deal double damage. Using cards that already have high attack like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon will make it easier to reach over 10,000 damage.

Fusion Deck for auto

The skill "Balance" is a drop skill that some characters can learn, although Mako can learn it by levelling up. This skill is used in the Two Fusion Dragons deck, which is a deck that's made to get a score of around 3,000 - 4,000 by using auto against Standard Duelists.

Ways to stall turns

The Unhappy Girl + Holy Guard

The Unhappy Girl can stall the duel with Tea's Holy Guard skill.

Angel O7

Most monsters LD uses are effect monsters. The angel will make most of their monsters ineffective since they can't use their abilities. Protect him with cards like Riryoku Field to make sure it doesn't get destroyed.

Dueling against lvl 30 or 40

If dueling level 40 Legendary Duelist is difficult for you due to lack of cards, you can always farm the LDs at level 30 instead. An easy deck to make is to simply put monsters with 1600 attack or higher level 4 monsters that are glossy and/or prismatic and perform some tribute/fusion/ritual summons for some extra scores. Being able to spam level 30 LDs with a consistent high score is better compared to getting only 3,000 or 4,000 score against level 40.

(And it doesn't works either with Bandit Keith... Well, works but it's too hard, it's better use a beatdown deck to farm him)

I farmed kaiba with a fusion dragons deck and got 7k each time. Lost 1 out of 10. That dd warrior is annoying, but it's not super hard. Joey is even easier.

Anyone have a recomended deck to farm for destiny board
Please Answer
This question has been posted by others' countless times: I've been reading online that it's better to farm lvl30 legendaries but is that true? Doesn't lvl40's have a higher drop rate for SR's? If I get 8.6k duel assessment every time is it worth me dueling lvl30's? The main reason is because keys are so damn hard to accumulate

Only farm lvl 30 if you really struggle to farm lvl 40 at all but can get high scores consistently against lvl 30 (like the last guy mentioned, Kaiba is a great example).

Just duel standard duelists, they almost always drop keys, and their decks are really bad
anoymous
I found a new deck that actually has been getting me 6000+ points vs Kaiba in the past 4/5 duels. I FINALLY GOT MY ENEMY CONTROLLER ON THE LAST ONE!! If you're interested, check out the deck here:

Add Dreamsprite to the list of useful cards. AI will almost always attack it. It's super nice when combined with high attack monsters for farming the ai.
