How to use this deck

Goal

  • To increase the ATK of Mythical Beast Cerberus to over 10,000 attack.
  • To decrease your Life Points to below 1000 or 100 whenever possible.
  • To deal more than 10,000 damage when you have 0 cards left.
  • To get 5000 - 8000 score. Improve your score by using glossy and prismatic cards for additional assessment points.

1. Receive an attack to get Cerberus

To get Mythical Beast Cerberus from your deck, use either "Sorcery Conduit" or "Draw Sense: Low-Level". Both skills are similar and they require you to receive at least 1800 points. You can use cards like Enchanted Javelin for some protection. After taking 1800 damage, a button will show up during your draw phase if you want to use it.

Some Legendary Duelists often start with monsters that won't deal 1800 or more damage, if you have cards that can reduce your LP like Abyssal Designator on your first turn, you can use it to ensure that you can activate the skill next turn.

  • Even if you have Cerberus in your starting hand, take the first hit if you want to adjust your Life Points to 100 to get the "LP on the Brink" assessment. Unless you use cards that can take you to 100 LP from 4000.
  • Recover your LP if you think you will take damage more than your current LP, use a Blue Medicine or any other healing card. The damage you take will still count towards the required damage for the skill to activate.

2. Grow Cerberus & make your Life Points 100

Place Spell counters on Mythical Beast Cerberus by activating Spell cards, and adjust your Life Points to 100.

The combination

You can get your LP from 4000 to 100 by using Blue Medicine, Mooyan Curry to get 4600 LP. Then 3 cards that reduce your LP by 1000 and then Autonomous Action Unit, or 4 cards that reduce your LP by 1000 and use a Twister.

Use Enchanted Javelin to maintain 4000 LP and still be able to activate skill to draw a Cerberus.

  • Keep equip spells in your hand until you summon the Cerberus. You cannot activate Spell cards if your three spell zones are filled, but you can use a Gravity Axe - Grarl early to lock your opponents in defense position.
  • If your opponent has cards that can inflict effect damage to your Life Points, don't lower your LP early in the duel. Instead, use it on your last turn when you are left with 0 cards in your deck.
  • Combo
    By using Murmur of the Forest, you can re-use a field spell so you can activate it again for another counter to Cerberus. Alternatively, you can use Sword of Deep-Seated and twister it to re-use the effect.

3. Dealing the damage

When you have 0 cards left in your deck, and used up all your spells, you can attack your opponent by using Stop Defense on one of your opponent's defense card and then use Riryoku to increase Cerberus even further. Afterwards, equip Shooting Star Bow - Ceal on to that reduced monster's attack. If you used your stop defense earlier, then you can equip the Ceal bow to your Cerberus to be able to direct attack.

Essential cards

CardRating explanation
Mythical Beast Cerberus
Mythical Beast Cerberus
This deck cannot be built without this monster card.
*Note: It is fine to farm with this Cerberus deck using 1 Cerberus. However, with sufficient testing, it is more consistent to have 2 cerberus in the deck.

Other useful cards

CardExplanation
Yami
Yami
Can be replaced with any other field spell card. Murmur of the Forest allows you to use a field spell twice, giving you more spell counters.
Mooyan Curry
Mooyan Curry
This card, Timidity, Blue Medicine, and Abyssal Designator can be replaced with any spell card unless you aim to get "LP on the Brink" duel assessment.
Black Pendant
Black Pendant
Use any equip spell that can increase your attack by 500. Gravity Axe - Grarl can be helpful to lock their position, or Wonder Wand for a cheap alternative.
Seal of the Ancients
Seal of the Ancients
Can be a great alternative to Abyssal Designator to see your opponent's set cards and deal with them accordingly.
Hieroglyph Lithograph
Hieroglyph Lithograph
Lowers your LP and allows you to hold more cards so you can pass turns and use multiple cards easier.

Use Dark-Piercing Light and this card to clear your opponent's monsters to deal direct attack..

Performance against Legendary Duelists

High Score Cerberus deck can be used to farm most of the LDs, but there are some noteworthy things that you might need to remember when going against specific LDs.

Ones with a score of 1 means that you can't use a Cerberus deck against them.

3You need to deal with Time Wizard by using Abyssal Designator, Eatgaboon or House of Adhesive Tape.

Hello, this is my deck so far, any ideas how to complete? I dont owm abyssal designator and shooting star

Seal of the Ancients (http://duellinks.gamea.co/c/bg17qsxa) does the same job as Abyssal. Also try to get a 3rd equip that can buff Cerberus, you might not always be able to achieve 10000 with those cards, I think.

I'd also add a 2nd Stop Defense, since you might need it to flip back up a strong opponent monster after using Murmurs of the Forest, especially if opponent only has set monsters.

Seal of the Ancients will just not allow you to farm Joey, but it's still pretty good vs. Tea, Weevil, Yugi, Rex...

Thought I'd share my list. I can very often get to 100 LP and deal 10000+ damage. It wasn't always the case with 1 Cerberus + 1 Riryoku. It also took a few matches for me to stop making dumb misclicks and correctly manage my spell slots on the last turn.

I think 2 cerberus + 1 riryoku would do the job pretty well already and get a bit more consistent.

Stop Defense is necessary for Murmur of the Forest to be useable in some matchups.

Twister is great to manipulate my Life Points, and I often have to use it on Shards of Greed or Yami.

Any equip that gives 500 should work (Dark Pendant, etc), keep them in your hand for the winning turn.

Timidity is a filler card, just put anything in. Same for Mooyan Curry (even though 1x Blue Medicine and 1x Mooyan Curry have been working pretty well for me), and Mooyan Curry is very versatile.

Just to add: it happened that my second Cerberus died because I couldn't get it strong enough, so Stop Defense is an absolute must in order to Riryoku the opponent's creatures. Most of the time you'll want to Riryoku your own Cerberus twice, though.

And 99% of the time you'll want to Abyssal Designator a card that doesn't exist, so the opponent won't deck out before you do. Except for Joey.

I still use cerberus but i put 3 Berry and 3 Javelin just so that my HP doesnt fall below threshold. Got nuked twice before (1200+1200). Cannot get high assesment 5.9k-7(if lucky) but at least can win

This cerberus deck is actually a bit shaky. I don't religiously and meticulously follow the deck guide and card composition above, just SLAP TWO-THREE RIRYOKU in your deck, and you're fine! Runner-up priority for a cerberus deck would be, NOT JUST ONE SHARD OF GREED (as mentioned in the above info) but TWO! (well, three is just too much). If you accidentally made a mistake, make sure you have De-Spells so you can easily get them out. CARD TRADER SPELL is also nice.

TRUEEE!!! Instead, it's the Card Trader for me (though I also have experienced it in Switcheroo skill as well). If you are fond of using the "spell card" Card Trader, there's these awkward moments when the ones you want to so badly switch and get out of your sight from your hand keeps coming back for almost a few times! Very weird! This is so blatantly observable, especially if you are using a HS

... Cerberus deck. Are these mechanics (Card Trader spell and Switcheroo skill) bugged, somehow?

There were a few times where my opponent got decked out and I STILL HAVEN'T NOTICED IT (because I'm 🔥ed?) so my Cerberus wasn't able to conduct that final attack. There were a few times where I prefer Stop Defense for my last and final attack, but ATTACKED A WRONG TARGET INSTEAD so no over 9,999 damage assessment because it's always the turn before the opponent is decked out.

Would multiple murmurs be useful? what about multiple Cerberus?
<< Anonymous(dad)
Riryoku Lover Reply
Instead of wasting coins in Murmurs and Whispers, invest in a long-time UR card like Riryoku, then you won't be needing Murmurs + Field Spells combo that much because Riryoku is JUST SO HOT that it will take care of whatever shortcoming in damage your Cerberus will have.
<< Anonymous(dad)

Multiple Murmurs can get hard to use if you don't have a few Stop Defenses. I don't think it's necessary. Riryokus and Cerberus (I use 2x each, look my list up on the comments above, with commentary) will get the damage there, as the other guy said. I often didn't have enough damage with only 1 Cerberus. 2 Cerberus and no Riryoku are also useless, so prioritize Riryoku (AT LEAST one).

Doesnt Mako lvl 20 skill work with this?
Anonymous
can someone explain how to get Cerberus over 9999 of damage? It seems almost impossible. I've gotten him close (8000) but the way this deck is set up it's to make sure your life points are as low as possible (100). so that leaves twister to remove what? riryoku, wonder wand, gravity axe, yami (if you havent already used it due to hand size) bow (which reduces atk points by 1000), stop defense if opponent even has monster, and maybe a couple direct effect spells? thats still only max 6600 with those spells (including 1400 from base atk and 200 from yami) then an additional 800? max from the effects of riryoku which makes it 7400 atk points... I get it you would need multiple riryoku or possibly cerberus' to use riryoku on which would work better, but without that 9999 atk is impossible, especially with the basic deck that is provided here.

P.S. I have altered this deck a bit but without multiple wands or riryokus/cerberus to use the riryokus on it is virtually impossible to get 9999 atk

Point:
Against Mai pay attention, there are 2 things u should know:
1. if she have Amazoness Willpower + amazoness archer at first, even if u have javelin on ground you are screwed up, she can avoid your trap leaving you without u can use ur spell to obtain cerberus.
2. NEVER go down to 1200LP or less unless u have a javelin on ur ground cause withc archer she can 🔥 you
Mason
I think my one complaint about the Cerberus deck is that if you go first and they don't do 1800 points of damage on their second turn you're screwed.

that's what the trap card is for, though it ends up the same if you don't draw it

There are a FEW workarounds for this particular problem: 1) Windstorm of Etaqua; 2) Stray Lambs; 3) a lot of LP recovery spells that you can use BEFORE or AFTER your opponent conducts his/her turn
