Decks Used to Complete 1st Stage

REZD by Valmar

  • Set skill: Beatdown

Darkside

Ancient Gear by Abbiro4[GeO]

The deck revolves around two strategies, that is, control the table with the Sergeant and the Boxer, and use the strength of Ancient Gears to neutralize the activation of traps in the battle phase. The Ancient Gear Engineer helps by destroying a spell / trap after it attacks the opponent, pity it has such a low attack, but nothing that the traps and spells do not help keep it on the field.

FachionOP - If you get the chance go into nerokius just do it he's basically a GG and play the long game don't try to rush for game.

Justin - I haven’t spent much time getting to KOG as I was playing KC Cup, this Gladiator deck got me to LVL 20.

Cyber Angels by iDrumZ!

Other Cyber Angel Deck KOG Player
Riceballer - Struggled with KoG decks from last season, so instead turned to a Mind Scan CA deck. Cursed Seal helps with other e-cons, which ruins CA. Anti-Magic Arrows is honestly a must, I don't know why other variants neglect it. I almost considered removing econs for more cursed seal or anti-magic, but in the end this split seemed to work best. Happy dueling!

Should i be proud or ashamed of myself for getting lvl 20 with a AG deck with no money spent whatsoever?

I love it when most people play the same decks because they are the easiest to beat. Since most were using Ancient Gears & Electros in Stage 1, I simply packed in 3 Acid Rain to my homemade deck. Hell, I even turned Cyber Angels into Machines. HAHA...

It should be based on win-loss, for those of us who can only duel for about an hour a day

If it's based on win ratio, I will only duel once and then do nothing until the end of the competition then...

The end of the KC Cup just HAD to line up w/ the release of Ultra Sun/Moon... looks like I'm out. Can't keep up with both & NXT/WWE all in the same weekend.

Although I don't play too much PvP duels (as seen "Rookie Rank"), but I was able to reach Dlv.18 I'm now Dlv. 16 and don't want to continue because of so many duels I have lost either due to Connection Errors or 🔥 decks like CAs and AGs. I really feel as if I participated in an unfair competition.

Keep going man. Once you get 20, you are guaranteed a SR ticket. You can stop there because theres no point in going to top 1000 just to get an UR ticket.

This is my very first KC Cup and I used Ancient Gears to get to Dvl 17. However, I kept losing to other Ancient Gears and Cyber Angels. So what I did was, I made a deck to counter both of them. My homemade deck got me to Dvl 20 very quickly. The key is to go against the herd.

Stage 2 is pure aids.

for people that can only play like 1 hour a day 2nd stage of this event is not for you you have to literally go without sleep & have a high win rate to get into top 10 for people with lives this is not fair it who has the most free time konami need to fix that set a limit on how much you can play a day the real good players will be the ones with the highest winrate not this endless grinding no sleep lol

The KC cup stage 2 ranking system is a joke and over all has been organised poorly not worth the time or hassle and mind scan needs a nerf no way you keep getting a non brick hand every game The RNG needs to be fixed
<< Anonymous(The chazz)

lol, every time I play a CA player who uses Mind Scan, they always have the perfect hand, always. But when I play Restart, I get two brick hands in a row. RNG is very strange in this game indeed.

This is my first KC CUP and I made it to Dvl 19. Getting a 5 win streak is tough due to strange random decks because I'm trying to counter AGs & CAs. Oh well, at least I got a ton of gems.
