Master Duel has been updated to version 1.7.1. Among the announced updates, we have:

-Traditional Chinese is now available as a language option.

–Changes to animations and display during Duels: Link Monsters on the field now have larger Link Arrows. Adjustments have been made to make it easier to see cards when multiple cards are moved to the Graveyard or Banished Zone at the same time. When a card effect causes a coin toss, the color of the coin will now indicate which player performed the coin toss. More animations added during Duels.

-Master Duel Proficiency Test:
The new mode has two parts: a knowledge-based quiz-style section and a practical section that will test your actual Dueling skills. When you clear both sections, you pass the test, and your grade will increase.
Academic Exam: Random quizzes will be assigned with their difficulty depending on grade. A certain number of correct answers is required to clear each test.
Practical exam: You will clear the section once all of the Clear Conditions have been met in Event Duels and/or Ranked Duels.
