NOTES

The GameA Tier List is primarily based on King of Games decks submitted by users and performance in Tournament.

Tier list

Decks in Tier 1 and 2 are ones that are known to have achieved good success against other decks/players.

Meta decks

Meta decks are decks that are often commonly used by players in PvP. Meta decks will often change depending on newer cards or strategies, so we will keep updating this page often to keep everyone informed of newer decks.

Tier 0

Tier 0 decks are decks that completely dominate a meta and you either play the same deck or a deck that completely counters it (but loses to almost any other deck).

There are currently no Tier 0 decks

Tier 1

These decks are very well rounded. They have ways to deal with almost every deck and have very few weaknesses themselves.

Tier 2

Tier 2 decks have a bit more weaknesses than tier 1 decks but your opponent needs to draw them early on.

For well over a year now every couple of months this game gets even worse, its nearly unplayable now. I guess konami wants to 🔥 it of asap since most of the fans have already spent on it and its time to restart so everyone can spend again

Except the game is still completely playable, PVP isn't the only thing in the game.

And dataminers confirmed that they plan to add Zexal, Arc-V, and even Vrains world to DL.

When will Konami release Dark Law or acid? It's been a while since they last added hero support cards

More like waiting for Dark Law. That masked hero will shake up the meta.

That's what I meant, and it would dominate not shake up the meta.

That card makes Shien seem like Axe Raider.

My main deck isn't even on this list and I've torn up Six Samurai decks with it... weird.

look at the heroes deck, its basically king of the tiered deck. I dont even remember this deck gone from tier list

Yeah, it always floats between tier 1, 2, or 3, but it never really left the meta. Konami paid more attention to make the deck balanced, since, you know, Japanese players love HEROes.

It's cool that the new box came with deskbots as well. I've beat the so called 'unstoppable samurai deck' with them and it was kinda easy tbh

Man it sure is fun running into AG time after time, this game has become the pinnacle of greed in the gaming industry by far...

Not become It has always been about getting new players to splash out before they realise that the game is broken

Even if konami is attracting new players to the game the game itself doesn't really have a huge number of people playing it cause if you keep releasing tier 1 decks after just nerfing one this game will never be balanced.

konami isn't worried about making the game better it simply wants to get as much cash out of it

Tier 0- Six Samurai. This one need a serious update
<< Anonymous
Anonymous Reply
It's absolutely correct and the reason is how far more broken sams are with the rest of the decks. Even when all the other decks add stuff specifically to counter them they still lose quite easily. Their list is perfectly accurate
<< Anonymous(johnvaynes)

Six sams are not worthy of being the first tier-0, they have too many shortcomings. Compared to geartown turbo, who can 🔥 out potentially 3 of their boss monsters in one turn, getting out multiple Shi-en's in one turn is a chore. Not to mention the attack difference, disabling any back row upon attacking and having access to UAG. If the enemy canadia or floodgates your tuner, then you're SOL.

I doesn't matter if six Sam's gets nerfed another deck will come to mess up the game cause as far as we know six Sam's players might as well be past koaki players.

As 6-sam is the most used deck as of now why don't you use swarm decks that don't require magical/trap cards to work? ie deskbots or hazy
For me it worked pretty well during the kc cup
<< Anonymous
Anonymous Reply
Exactly. Even better part, Hazy is an old deck that veteran players should already have, while Deskbot is an F2P deck comparable to Aquaactress in terms of card rarities.

Rarity means nothing

Even if it just R rarity card,
you can open 100+ packs before you get the first copy and 180+ for the full set

yes exactly, the cost of this 🔥 is insane. We need card crafting/disenchant to reuse obsolete cards like 3x URs of the past that are now worse than sheit
<< Anonymous
Anonymous Reply
It's still just a single box opening though, to get a playset of R cards.

Compared to SR and UR which requires 2-3 box opening meaning you have to open way more packs.
