Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has announced a new PvP mode is now available for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. It’s time to Du-Du-Du-Du, Du-Du-Du-Du-Du-Duel! alongside your favorite iconic Duelists in Character Deck Duels!

Duel against each other using Character Decks, designed with the primary goal of providing an easily accessible Duel Links PvP experience while allowing players to battle in a way that reflects the playstyle of each character. These new Decks come with fixed Skills and cards that represent the specific character and can also be used in both PvP and PvE modes.

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.
