Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Collab – Details!

1. is this worth rolling in?

   1. Compared to other 10 stone REMs… no.

      For nostalgia factor… yes

      The top cards are great, but nothing that will move the meta. There are a few good cards in the lower stars like dark magician, maybe Kuriboh, Mystic Elf for her active. Bakura could be interesting for poison match with a dark VDP (probably will just get used for 3P trolling). Farmable Equip is great for a light team if you have the open slot for it but with how much utility is needed for stuff like AA3 you probably won’t ever get to use it end game. Maybe winged defender of the fortress dragon could be used as a 3 skill boost 3 haste Fagan Rai sub, but after transforming he loses dragon type so….

      At the top of the rem Marik’s base form could work with Okuninushi since he just got that leaderskill buff. Yugi’s transform somewhat echoes PhenomIna but with null poison. Doesnt seem like an upgrade because of Ina’s 2 turn active. Kaiba is good on NA for water teams but he is straight up worse than other options for blue on JP.

      GungHo made a relatively bad REM and is probably counting on making money by nostalgia for YuGiOh rather than making making money from players wanting to roll for cards to use.

      1. wow… thanks for the detailed response! way more than I expected lol. what other blue options are there for jp? sorry i’m kinda of out of the meta

         1. So Kaiba’s evo form is a very good 7c VDP sub with a great active skill, probably the most useful and best thing in this machine. His base form is very similar to Coco (no. 5461 in dadguide) except the 50% shield can’t be activated when below an HP threshold and Kaiba has a (slightly) lower attack multiplier. Since Minaka gives so much RCV the shield difference isn’t that bad (but I’d still rather have Coco’s activation requirements). Coco is a JP exclusive though and because of licensing issues it probably will never come to NA, YuGiOh likely will come to NA though.

            1. thank you once again. you’re amazing!

2. ty so much every1 always thanks you im sure you worked like probably over 5 hours or maybe even more on all this recent stuff. Just for the stream. And i just want you to know, I’ve spent the last 2 hours, at least hour and a half just reading and commenting lololol. And im not done by a long shot, when I go into work tmrw; all this stuff you uploaded recently, I’m sure i will spend half the day looking at at commenting more. You aint in this alone Reni.. just the programming part.

3. Is this the first time XMas Yog, Grem, and Kali have been exchangeable in something other than XMas collab? I think it is I saw the ChRomia was exchangable for NY Reeche but not the others.

   Anyways, wow that orb skin turned out bad compared to what they could have done with the element orbs from the card game…

   I think this is an easy collab to skip for me even though I love YuGiOh. I hope others get their goal rolls though.

4. I‘m also slightly disappointed when it comes to the 7* As usual for a transformation monster, Yami Yugi is pretty Good but having to stall for 23 turns without any defense mechanic is super risky (especially in Colloseum 2). Yugi & Slifer is decent but nothing special in todays meta (and him missing a VDP is also a let down). Kaiba, seems more fit as a sub. As a lead he‘s kinda Glass-cannony. Base Marik reminds me of Zaerog Core. Marik & Ra is just plain weird – I can’t really think of any lead that could match well with him. Speaking, I try to evaluate how they may perform in Colloseum 2 since this is the current meta benchmark. And in this regard, nothing seems to be as viable or better than the current Zaerog Core lead swap teams.

   And here I had high hopes YGO might bring something new to the meta. Will still drop a few stones into this and try my luck – purely out of nostalgia and fandom :3

   1. What’s worse for Yami Yugi is how limited the devil and dark subpool is for him. He really needs a lot of skill boosts and most the devil cards with 4 skill boosts are off color. I can see how off pairing Can alleviate some of the skill boost issues, but he just doesn’t have the subs to support that kind of transform like Super 1 and Rai have.

      MTG and DMC seem like good ways for GH to introduce some high skill boost dark devils though.

      1. True. Right now, Game8 suggests to pair him with HMadoo primarily for some defense during your initial stalling.
         After some thoughts I think Kaiba/BEWD could be a pretty good Coco replacement to pair him with the water draconic songtress (forgot her name :P). Add an extra Kaiba/Obelisk for some more firepower. He‘s probably the most practical out of the three 7*

5. Wait, does winged dragon of the fortress turn into the 6* card dark magician girl? I’m kind of confused.

   1. He does apparently. Unless Yugi did not remove Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress from his deck in the manga when he rebuilt it for the Battle City arc, I do not remember him having it at that point in the anime. He did not use Dark Magician Girl until his duel with Arkana, so there should not have been a scenario where he tributes him for her. Even if there was, it is still a strange choice.

6. The link at the very top of the page that is suppose to lead to the Gungho post for the collab leads to the Power Pros collab post. It is not that big of a deal, but I ran into it so I thought I would mention it.

   1. LOL (i love power pros anyways)

7. I just want full acknowledgment that I called blue eyes white dragon having 3000 attack at level 99 ty fujin

8. So Base Kaiba is a weaker version of Coco/a blue Ina, while Evo Kaiba will go well with Beach Veroah. I made trade for Kaiba when this comes…

   1. Comes to NA that is since no Coco 🙁

9. I didn’t know Kaiba’s name meant seahorse. o.0 Or does that have a different meaning in kanji?

10. I wish Kaiba have 1.5 Hp lol. I will combine him with Ryune normal form but I only have 1. Any suggestions?

11. Any tips on how to S rank the dungeon? Is bringing a 7+5″+5+friend 7* will be able to reach S rank?

12. Yea some people cant resist the nostalgia but im not one of them. Im still sticking my Minaka with Coco. Sorry Kaiba, no exchange either.

13. Lol Mariks equip is SO simular to Jhora

14. So… Yugi has since gained a lot of hype after Nere was introduced. I see many ppl talking about throwing a ton of stones into this event to get his ideal subs but how feasible is that?

    It seems like you’ll need to do a lot of rolls, and it could still go wrong with Bakura and Dark Magician being at 5.7% chance. And you would probably be trading rather than rolling for Yugi. IDK how well triple fortress dragons work, but that’s much easier to roll.

    Is it still better to skip this collab for NIAP/IAP-light ppl in NA?

    1. Even if you’re not going for Yugi, this is still a good collab to roll. Kaiba is a strong sub for this meta blue teams. Bakura is the best damage sub in the game. Dark Magician and Fortress Dragon are very good to keep as there will probably be more transform cards in the future.
