How to beat/farm Yami Bakura Lvl 40 (Unlock event)

update 11/07/2017
Note: This page shows how to beat/farm Yami Bakura Lvl 40 at Yami Bakura unlock event: Destiny Board of Doom. For Yami Bakura Lvl 40 at a mini event, check here!

Note: Temple of the Kings Glitch!

Temple of the Kings now has a glitch! The 2nd effect of it to special summon monster card can't be used. Even if you have a monster in your hand, deck, extra deck, you can't special summon a monster.

Should I farm Lvl 30 instead?

Yami Bakura Lvl 40 is the toughest Legendary Duelist ever. By using the event exlusive skill (Destiny Board of Doom), Ectoplasmer, and Burning Land, he never allows you to stall turns.

If you just aim to earn points:

It depends on your objectvie, but if you just want to earn event points, defeating Yami Bakura Lvl 30 with higher Duel Assessment seems to be reasonable. If you have a deck to achieve 5500 or above score consistently (80% win rate), farming Lvl 40 is recommended.

Yami Bakura Lvl 30

  • 6000 x7 x2 =42,000 x 2(20 Dice x2) = 84,000
  • 7000 x7 x2 =49,000 x 2(20 Dice x2) = 98,000

Yami Bakura Lvl 40

  • 2000 x18 x1 (40 Dice) =36,000
  • 3000 x18 x1 (40 Dice) =54,000
  • 5000 x18 x1 (40 Dice) =90,000
  • 5500 x18 x1 (40 Dice) =99,000
  • 6000 x18 x1 (40 Dice) =108,000

Des Counterblow (5k - 6k)

We do recommend you to win consistently with 5k-6k score instead of aiming 8k since Yami Bakura Lvl 40 is one of the hardest Legendary Duelist to farm. This is the best deck to farm Yami Bakura consistently so far.

Dino beatdown (2k)

This deck focuses more on beating Bakura's monsters with high attack monsters that you can summon easily. This is more aimed towards being able to win somewhat effectively rather than to aim for the highest possible score and delaying the duel to achieve that.

Balance beatdown (2k)

The goal of this deck is not to get a high score, but to win as quickly and consistently as possible. This deck is formatted to have an 10 monster cards, 5 spell cards, and 5 trap cards. Making use of the Balance skill, this should give you a starting hand of 2 monsters, 1 spell, and 1 trap. Take note that none of the monsters are required. You can replace any monster in this deck with a monster having 1700 or more attack points.

Tips

  • With a guaranteed spell card in your hand, and the fact that all spell cards in this deck are for removing cards from the grave, you should be able to remove Dark Necrofear from the grave in the first turn without any problem.
  • Prioritize removing Dark Necrofear from the grave using Gravedigger Ghoul or Foolish Burial within the first 8 or 9 turns, to cancel the effect of destiny board.
  • Do not allow Bakura to summon Dark Necrofear. What I do to prevent this is I activate Gravedigger Ghoul or Foolish Burial when he has 2 or more fiend-type monsters in his grave
  • Always declare fiend when The Hunter with 7 Weapons is summoned, almost all of Bakura's monsters are fiends. The only one who isn't fiend-type is Man-Eater Bug which shouldn't be a problem as long as you have more than one monster on the field.
  • Keep summoning your monsters to swarm the field. With this you do not have to worry about Man-Eater Bug. Ectoplasmer would also not be problem and might even work to your advantage.
  • Always use your higher attack monsters to attack set monsters. Bakura has many high defense monsters, like Malice Doll of Demise with 1700 defense and The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams with 1800 defense. Use Metalmorph to boost your attack if needed. If you are unable to destroy Bakura's monsters, he may tribute into Dark Ruler Ha Des the next turn.
  • If ever your Bakura manages to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des you should be able handle him with your trap cards. Curse of Anubis would leave Dark Ruler Ha Des defenseless because of his 0 defense points. Metalmorph could be equipped to anyone of your monsters to easily overpower Dark Ruler Ha Des. Inspiration if used on a monster with 1750 or higher attack could give you enough power to match Dark Ruler Ha Des.

Dragon/Titan Showdown (3k - 4k)

With Rex's Titan Showdown skill, you will be able to achieve Over 5,000 Damage if you are lucky enough to draw fusion spell cards within 5 turns. For possible replacements, check the link below.

Duel Standby Burn (3k - 4k)

A burn deck with Tea's that's made with the possibility to win on turn 1. This can be used to win against most opponent, but it requires some luck at times and the score can only be around 4,000.

Lvl 40 Bakura's Deck

The Evil Incarnate

Possible cards to counter

CardExplanation
Exile of the Wicked
Exile of the Wicked
Since Yami Bakura's monster cards are mostly fiend-type monsters, this card can be easily used to destroy them.
Keldo
Keldo
It is able to return Dark Necrofear along with 1 other card in your opponent's graveyard to their deck when destroyed. This will negate the 'Destiny Board' skill, extending the duel. However, do note that there must be at least 2 cards in your opponent's graveyard to activate its effect.
Gravedigger Ghoul
Gravedigger Ghoul
It is able to remove 2 monster cards in your opponent's graveyard from play. This means that the 'Destiny Board' skill will be negated, extending the duel. However, do note that there must be at least 1 monster card in your opponent's graveyard to activate its effect. Though, most likely it will be Dark Necrofear.
Pot of Benevolence
Pot of Benevolence
It is able to return 2 cards from either player's graveyard to their decks. This will negate the 'Destiny Board' skill. However, do note that there must be at least 2 cards in any player's graveyard to activate its effect.
Disappear
Disappear
Helps to remove from play 1 card in your opponent's graveyard. Again, it helps to negate the 'Destiny Board' skill. This allows you to extend the duel.
Dust Barrier
Dust Barrier
It allows your normal monsters to be unaffected by all spell cards for 2 turns which may be useful since Yami Bakura's Lvl 40 deck consists of monster and spell cards.

Drops and Explanation

CardExplanation
Archfiend Empress
Archfiend Empress
[SR]
Can be fetch using Doomdog Octhros. This card will be a great addition for fiend type decks. Use its effect to along with Escape from the Dark Dimension.
Puppet Master
Puppet Master
[SR]
It has the effect that can flood your board with strong beatsticks, however, it can be risky due to its ATK/DEF.
The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams
The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams
[SR]
Along with Yugi's Power of Dark skill it has a staple 2000DEF.
Trance Archfiend
Trance Archfiend
[SR]
It can discard Dark Necrofear to activate Destiny Board.
White Magical Hat
White Magical Hat
[SR]
Even with its great effect It still hasn't found a place to any competitive deck due to its low ATK and DEF.
The Earl of Demise
The Earl of Demise
[R]
One of the few Normal monsters which needed just 1 tribute. Not being used to any competitive deck yet.
Gernia
Gernia
[R]
It can be special summoned again during your next standby phase in a scenario where it destroys 4-Starred Ladybug of Doom and its effect activates.
Electric Lizard
Electric Lizard
[R]
Prevents a monster from being able to attack for a turn and does not need to get destroyed for the effect to work.
Dark Mambele
Dark Mambele
[R]
Not viable so far in the current metta, it's hard to meet its condition.
Fiend Griefing
Fiend Griefing
[R]
This will be viable to FIEND type decks, since most of them has Graveyard enabaling effects. Also it's great to easily discard Dark Necrofear to activate Destiny Board.

🔥 deck even the 2.0. Labyrinth builder already cripples your hand that may contain cards you desperately need early on. The fact that you have to hit all of Bakura's Ecto and Burning using your spell cards AND destroying your own gate is so convuluted. Oh yeah and Twister costing you 500 LP against a burn deck isn't helping.

Don't do 30
Yes you'll get to 4mil quicker but you still have a week guys, you're better doing 25-50% win rate games at bakura 40 so that you have a larger chance of getting SR cards, why would you even suggest 30 over 40 GameA pff

That literally depends on who you are asking & I really doubt the one calling everyone an Idiot is helping anyone but himself. If you guys REALLY want help, make your own decisions.

I wasn't calling everyone an idiot, just the guy taking everything offensively, Daemon, hence the name, when I was offering my opinion. I never said he couldn't do what he wanted, but if someone if trashing my decision, of course I'm going to lash out back at the bastard. But thanks for also not reading my posts and just thinking oh man he's probably just another troll, bloody hell

I see that but still he did't trash you, didn't 🔥 or said you're garbage, there're others who actually deserve bashing. Chill.

Anyway, good luck to all with this event

So you offer your opinion and he says in a matter of words "don't listen to this guy", that isn't just completely ignoring my original post? Pretty sure that's trashing

I guess I'm done?? Don't get me wrong I'm happy and everything but, being completely honest I haven't done so great. I mean, I think I've won only 60 or 70% of the time and by losing I got 3 SR cards (2 Archfiend Empress and 1PuppetMaster). Huh. Weird.

Another weird thing is that I haven't got all the event rewards yet. Okay, I think I sucked my own 🔥 enough. Bye.

Seriously, This Event it the worst Nightmare for New Player. After my friends join this game(During Paradox Brother Event) hes quit. He said Duel Links doesn't seem Friendly Game. Since it force us to "Spend" our money to buy brand new pack for every New Event.This is the one reason why our rating game drop, The problem happen during the Event progress give us such a bad reputation for people "WHO" want to play Duel Links.

Sorry to said out Loud but i agreed with him.. We need a friendly event which New and Old Player can enjoy game together not like this.

Yeah not really beginner friendly for events. But the qn is:" do u really need to be so competitive in game? " When one just join the game, you cant expect to play like a veteran. Its totally normal. Collect the cards and eventually you will reap your sows from the harvest.

Y guarantee? Nothing in life is guaranteed. As long can hit high winning percentage, its good enough. If you can't do that, you are not thinking. This game is more fun if you actually use your head more, its not a dumb mmmorpg.

It is not a mod apk! After updating to version 1.7.0, this can happen even when using a non-mod apk since there is a kind of bug or glitch that Konami is working to fix, and it seems that it is going to be fixed tomorrow, according to the message we got today from them.
