Strategies - STRATEGY ====================================================================== Now here in this section, you will find the strategies for each duelist. This strategies may not give you 100% "LP Keep Bonus". This strategies also will not give you always a win over them. But in general, you will win when you fight them and only a few loses. No. 001 - Jaden Yuki Deck Name : New Hero Summon Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May or 4th May Difficulty : Normal = He always use a Elemental Hero Deck. Use your highest DEF to be in face-down defense position. I am talking about Humanoid Slime or an Aqua Madoor. Then we he took damage, Summon the best monster you have in your hand. Then on your next turn, try tributing 1 monster so that you can finish it in 2 or 3 turns. No. 002 - Syrus Truesdale Deck Name : Heart of Gold Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May Difficulty : Normal = I recommend dueling him first before any of the other 6 main duelists. His Deck is full of Machines so take advantage of that. Be careful when he summon his Patroid. It can reveal your face-down card. If he summoned Steamroid, you should have Divine Wrath ready so that his ATK will not increase. No. 003 - Chumley Huffington Deck Name : Wrath of Nature = No. 004 - Alexis Rhodes Deck Name : Raising the Curtains Recommended Day to duel : 4th May Difficulty : Hard = She uses a combination of fairy and warrior deck. If Sanctuary in the Sky is on the field, quickly use any Umi card. A Legendary Ocean, Maiden of the Aqua or Umi itself. If you have none of the above, use Giant Trunade. Watch out because he will fuse Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber to form Cyber Blader. No. 008 - Vellian Crowler Deck Name : Skill Leader (Beg) Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May Difficulty : Easy = You can find him at Chancellor's Office before or after school. He is not much of a problem. Summon your strongest monsters and Set your highest DEF monsters. Do not use A Legendary Ocean often when dueling him, so that you can tribute monsters which add to your Bonus. No. 009 - Lyman Banner Deck Name : Source-less Existence = No. 018 - Damon Deck Name : Soul Draw Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May or 3rd May Difficulty : Very Easy = He is easy considering that he sometimes does not summon monsters on the field. Since he is easy, summon your best ATK monsters on your hand. Then attack them until you win. On your last turn before you finish him, you can use some supports like Waboku. Only if you have activated at least 1 trap. But if you don't, then do not use it. Since it is a No Trap Card Bonus worth 15 DP. No. 019 - Jasmine Deck Name : Harpies' Dance = No. 020 - Mindy Deck Name : Hot Dude! = No. 021 - Blair Deck Name : Serene Silence = No. 030 - Fonda Fontaine Deck Name : Cutie Deck Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May Difficulty : Very Easy = You do not almost need to buy the cards you don't have. He mainly has a low ATK monsters so kill them. Use Aqua Spirit's effect if Light of Intervention is activated. In this way, you can attack them but this method may take about 20 turns. But since it may end on the 20th turn, you get 40 DP for Turn Bonus. No. 035 - Wade Deck Name : Spellcaster's Savaki Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May or 4th May Difficulty : Hard = A bit hard. He has spellcasters on his deck. Do not allow him to use Dark Magic Curtain unless you have a monster with equal to or greater than his ATK. Also, do not let Skilled Dark Magician activate its effect when he has 3 Spell Counters. He will tribute it and summon Dark Magician so have Divine Wrath in place. No. 040 - Gillian Deck Name : Essential Basics Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May Difficulty : Easy = Your very first duel must be against him. Since his deck is almost similar to your deck, you should expect something like 75% win from him. Use Waboku if he has multiple monsters with higher ATK. Cards like Humanoid Slime and Aqua Madoor should be in defense position because of their 2000 DEF. You should accumulate DP lesser than 400 DP since you will have so many NEW HIGH SCORE Bonus which is worth 20 DP each. Win 10 Duels : Skull Servant No. 041 - KENYoU Deck Name : The Mushroom Man Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May or 3rd May Difficulty : Very Easy = Good duelist. Just watch out for his The Mushroom Man #2. He will activate it often and will switch that monster to yours. So have Divine Wrath if you wanna get LP Keep Bonus. No. 042 - Moses Deck Name : Healing Boom = No. 043 - Terence Deck Name : Fare Play Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May Difficulty : Normal = Neutral. He uses cards like Respect Play and Ceremonial Bell. Both of which can reveal both players' hands. Keep your Divine Wrath if he manages to activate Ceremonial Bell. But it's your choice. You can see what cards are in your opponent's hands. No. 046 - Michael Deck Name : Total Destruction Recommended Day to duel : 4th May Difficulty : Hard = You need to prepare so i recommend dueling him at 4th May. I dueled him on 2nd May and won but on 3rd May, i lost. If he tries to tribute, it is usually a Mind on Air or a Nobleman-Eater Bug. If you wanna get rid of Newdoria, he will usually destroy your highest ATK monster or the monster who did not attack. Use Divine Wrath to counter. No. 047 - Taku Deck Name : Roaring Nights = No. 049 - Walter Deck Name : Envoy from Another Planet Recommended Day to duel : 4th May or 5th May Difficulty : Very Hard = Very Hard in my opinion. Duel him with the complete deck and you will have no problem. If your Mother Grizzly is destroyed, be in defensive stance and summon Yomi Ship ( if you have been damaged ). If all of his monsters are finished battling, you can try summoning Star Boy instead. No. 050 - Hayden Deck Name : Ultimate Ninja Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May or 4th May Difficulty : = Insect and Warrior Deck. No. 051 - Rei Deck Name : = No. 052 - Zanny Deck Name : Trap Runner Recommended Day to duel : 4th May or 5th May Difficulty : Very Hard = His Deck mainly consists of Trap Cards. Some of the Trap Cards he has can be a Monster Card. Use Giant Trunade to send them back to Zanny. Use this chance to power up your monsters. Be sure that the sum of the ATK of all your monsters should be exact or greater than the LP of your opponent so that when you attack, you will win. If you use Stim-Pack before you activate Giant Trunade, you might end up losing that monster rather than inflicting damage. No. 054 - Alvaro Deck Name : = No. 056 - Tryston Deck Name : Clown Brigade Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May or 3rd May Difficulty : Very Easy = He is also an easy duelist. Remember to use Reinforcements if you acquired it on 3rd May. Target this to your monster that is targeted by your opponent when they are in Battle Phase so the attacking No. 057 - Loggy Deck Name : Mysterious Masquerade = No. 058 - Kura Deck Name : = No. 059 - Aite Deck Name : Halloween Corpse = No. 062 - Hiro Deck Name : Horror of Black Light Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May Difficulty : Very Easy = He is really a very easy duelist. He mainly uses an Insect Deck so don't worry. If he manages to destroy one of your monsters, use Waboku Since he is an easy opponent, use the rest of the duel to tribute summon as it adds to your bonus and new high score lists. No. 063 - Laurence Deck Name : Dangerous Pair Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May or 4th May Difficulty : Hard = He is pretty hard. Watch out for his Giant Orc that has 2200 ATK. He really has a strong deck so you need to buy the cards that are listed on the Recommended Deck section. If you manage to have 2 A Legendary Oceans, then that is fine. Use your Amphibious Bugroth MK-3 to do direct attack if Umi is face-up on the field. If you are in danger, use Big Wave Small Wave if you have at least 2 level 5 and up monsters so you do not need to tribute them. No. 064 - Khadim Deck Name : Royal Revolution Recommended Day to duel : 2nd May Difficulty : Easy = He is not that bad. You will only need to watch out for the United We Stand Equip Spell Card. Because if you do not, the equipped monster will gain 800 ATK that increases for other monsters other than the equipped monster. He has a Toll Spell Card so you may not manage to get LP Keep Bonus. No. 065 - Shannon Deck Name : World of Insects = No. 067 - Faty Deck Name : = No. 069 - Pipin Deck Name : = No. 077 - Marcel Deck Name : = No. 081 - Mathew Deck Name : = No. 082 - Corey Deck Name : Armageddon's Aftermath Recommended Day to duel : 3rd May = No. 084 - Nova No. 087 - Truly No. 101 - Andrea No. 102 - Lily ====================================================================== 5.
