Special Duel Event [July 6 - July 12]

update 16/04/2019

Event Details

Period July 6 - July 12

How to Play

1. Duel in a completely new way!

What is Special Duel?

Special Duel are Ranked Duels with certain conditions and restrictions to the Skills and Decks that you can use. Your rank placement is registered differently from your regular Ranked Duels placement, although the rankings and number of wins required to be promoted, remain the same. For example, you still need to acquire 4 wins to rank up from Platinum 5 to Legendary 1, and 5 consecutive wins to rank up from Legendary 3 to King of Games. Example scenario, if you are King of Games currently in regular Ranked Duels, you can still collect rank placement rewards from Special Duels since you will be starting the climb from Rookie rank.

2. Build a Legend Deck!

Legendary Decks

Legendary Decks are Decks specifically tailored to a particular Legendary Duelist, using Required and Optional Core Cards, and unique Legendary Duelist’s skills, as part of the Deck. The fact that it is mandatory to include these cards into your Legendary Deck (should you choose to play as that particular Legendary Duelist) makes certain Legendary Decks more advantageous than the others, because the Required or Optional Core Cards present more meta value and higher synergy with the latest tech / monster cards used prominently. For example, Masked Heroes have received wide players’ acceptance and usage currently, and it goes along well with Aster’s Legendary Deck, even when Destiny HERO - Plasma and Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude are the Required and Optional Core Cards to be included. This makes Aster’s Legendary Deck very advantageous over other Legendary Decks. Another example is Weevil’s Legendary Deck which requires you to include Insect Queen in the Legendary Deck, along with either Cocoon of Evolution or the Moth monster series as optional Core Cards. These cards must be included in Weevil’s Legendary Deck, and since all these cards are not competitive at all in the current meta, this makes Weevil’s Legendary Deck very unpopular and disadvatageous over other Legendary Decks. The key factors into customizing your Legendary Deck, are to take into consideration the Required Cards, and Optional Cards you need to have in that Deck, and analyse the synergy with the current popular monster effects/Spells/Traps, the possible combos which you can dish out, the relative strengths and weakness against other meta Decks, before you bring your customized Legendary Deck into Special Duels.

3. Duel in Special Duels at the PvP Arena!

4. Aim for King of Games!

Regarding Legendary Decks

Skill Allowed

Skills Allowed are unique skills that are only accessible via a particular Legendary Duelist. Skills play an important role and synergy to go along with your customized Legendary Deck. Some examples of popular Skills used are Beatdown, The Tie that Binds, Silent Duelist, Psychic Onslaught, Transcendent Crystals. You will not be able to use regular Skills such as Restart, Balanced, Draw Sense series skills.

Core Cards

Core Cards are divided into Required and Optional Core Cards. Required cards are cards that you must include at least 1 copy in your Legendary Deck. Optional Core cards are a pool of card options that you can choose from, and must be included into your Legendary Deck according to the number of copies written. For example, Yami Yugi’s Legendary Deck has Optional Cards (2) whereby you can choose any 2 copies of: Slifer the Sky Dragon, Dark Magic Curtain, Dark Magic Attack, Thousand Knives, Illusion Magic, to include in your Legendary Deck. If the Required Cards listed are also listed in Optional Cards list, then you can just include at least 1 copy of that card and have another choice from Optional Cards pool in your Legendary Deck. If there are multiple Required Cards listed in the Legendary Deck for that particular Legendary Duelist, you must include at least 1 copy of each Required Cards in your Legendary Deck.

Required Cards - Alternative Art are counted as well excluding Yugi / Arkana Dark Magician

It's not the gems that made me interested in Special Duels event, but this lovely KOG icon

Quite liked the event even with people going around the required card rule by putting it in their meta deck instead of building a deck around the required card. The rewards however are pathetic, for someone who hasn't maxed out to level 45, I can get more from levelling my characters once.

Admit it guys the event´s idea is kind of cool, but it is this brainless community that just ruined it because they just want easy wins.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Konami could easily have enforced players to use enough of a certain card (rather than just literally one card, like Dark Magician for Yugi) or just straight up limited Amazoness & Fur Hire for the special duels. They didn’t.

They want to encourage players to be able to use the meta decks ‘cause they freshly bought them. Thus... (1/2)

... those players will get awards and wins. It positively reinforces people to purchase those cards.

Konami might want people to have fun, but they’re a money-grubbing company first. For sure they’ll make the rules slack enough for players to use meta decks, since those players are the ones who paid the most. They’ll support those the most.
