Basically, a way for newcomers to Duel without having to immediately commit resources.
A brand-new PvP mode, Character Deck Duel, is now available for Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS, launching today, March 30, 2026! Duelists can now battle alongside their favorite iconic Duelists and earn up to nine free Character Decks featuring community favorites like Yami Yugi, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, Yuma & Astral, and more!
This exciting new mode provides an easily accessible PvP experience, allowing players to duel in a way that reflects the unique playstyle of each character, complete with fixed Skills and signature cards.
The Character Decks are designed to give players a guided introduction to each character’s signature playstyle. Dueling in this new mode allows Duelists to earn Respect Orbs, a special reward item that is based on their performance rating and can be exchanged at the Trader for cards and various other items. Duelists can trade in Respect Orbs for a Grade Star which increases the Grade of a Character Deck. Increasing the Deck’s Grade allows Duelists to replace up to a maximum of five cards based on the Deck’s Grade.
Nine characters will receive their own exclusive Character Deck:
Yami Yugi
Seto Kaiba (DM)
Joey Wheeler (DM)
Jaden Yuki
Zane Truesdale
Yusei Fudo
Jack Atlas
Yuma & Astral
Reginald “Shark” Kastle
Each Character Deck can be obtained through a lifetime mission that is automatically completed when you acquire the corresponding character.
