**IN00***************************** INTRO *************************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing I should mention is that this guide was written with the idea
that those reading it are already familiar with the game’s new style and the
rules of the game. The purpose of this guide is to provide information on the
opponents in this game, and strategies to beat them, not to instruct readers on
how to play. All information in this guide was obtained by my own means, and
much time was spent to make sure every detail was accurate. Many strategies in
this guide are common sense, but I’m sure everyone can find some use out of
this guide.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Raptor’s fairly easy. He has generally low-ATK power monsters, with a few
exceptions exceeding the 2000 mark. As you can see by his deck, he has very
little variation in his cards, with multiples of nearly every monster. The
terrain is completely Wasteland, with columns of Labyrinths throughout. Until
you advance towards his Deck Leader, he will more than likely send a card down
both of the rows closest to his leader. If you can send a monster down one of
those rows with a fairly high ATK, you’ll be set. Labyrinth based monsters work
well here too, allowing you to avoid some of the monsters advancing down the
rows. for some reason, if you play a monster with a massive amount of ATK, Rex
will sometimes stop playing cards altogether, and simply skip his turns. “Stain
Storm”, “Eternal Rest”, and “Breath of Light” can eliminate all other types
that are favored by Wasteland terrain, but only once each.
Rex has a habit of sending his own cards to the graveyard often through
incompatible fusions. His strongest monster is Bracchio-raidus (2200 ATK, 2700
on Wasteland Terrain), which isn’t very strong. Many of his monsters do better
Defensively, but he’ll use them offensively anyway. Backing Rex into a corner
is actually an easier way to beat him than depleting his life points, granted
you approach from the right direction. Unless you’re interested in Dinosaurs,
there isn’t much to gain from the slots here.

Javelin Beetle Pact (2 Insects + Hercules Beetle)
-Javelin Beetle ATK: 2450 DEF: 2550
COMMON FUSIONS:
Larva of Moth ATK:0 DEF:2000
STRATEGIES/TIPS
When first starting the game, Weevil may be a bit of a challenge. Don’t be
fooled by his low ATK-powered cards. With the majority Forest Terrain and his
multiple power-ups, it’s easy for one of his weaker insects to top 2000 ATK.
Normally, his Kwagar Hercules will pose the worst threat. However, you’ll
probably see him try to pull off his Cocoon of Evolution card a couple times.
Unlike the real game, it serves as a power-up for Larvae Moth, Needle Worm, or
Petit Moth. Using this card will turn the monster in “Larva of Moth”, which, if
left face-up on the field for 5 turns, will transform into “Pupa of Moth.” Once
“Pupa of Moth” has been face-up for a single turn, it will transform into
Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, which has 3000+ ATK and decreases the ATK of
your monsters by 100 every turn. To prevent him from playing this monster, you
must destroy the “Pupa of Moth” or “Larva of Moth” before their turn count is
up, which is easier said then done. In fact, most of the time, if you bring a
monster within striking distance of his Deck Leader, Weevil will almost always
move right over it with the Deck Leader. Javelin Beetle is also very strong,
but he pulls of the Ritual VERY rarely, so it isn’t much to worry about.
The three Wastelands on the map are next to useless, since the Deck Leader
doesn’t move much from the top area. The best way to take Weevil out is to play
monsters face-down in DEF, and let him attack them. Again, many of his monsters
are weak, and he wont hesitate to attack a face-down card, so he’ll drain his
life-points slowly. Be sure not to come to close to his Deck Leader with yours
though, since the Forests give most of his monsters an extra movement, making
you an easy target.

RITUAL:
Revival of Sennen Genjin (Millennium Golem + 2 Beast-Warriors)
-Sengenjin ATK:2750 DEF:2500
STRATEGIES/TIPS
Richard relies strongly on the Sogen Terrain. The Mountains don’t benefit any
of his monsters. However, you’ll notice that many of his cards have 1800+ ATK,
so he can pack quite a bit of a punch. Also, some of his cards work
cooperatively, such as the boosts between Swamp Battleguard or Lava
Battleguard, or the two M Warriors. He also has a decent list of Power-ups.
Sengenjin is the least of your worries here. Even when Richard draws Millennium
Golem (which is needed for the ritual), he more than likely wont play it.
There are two easy ways to beat Richard. First, changing the Terrain to one
favorable to your deck will take away the upper hand from Richard. This is true
for any battle, of course, but regardless, try using Umi, Forest, etc to remove
the Sogen Terrain. Another method I found useful is a large number of Trap
cards (especially Negate Attacks). Play out as many of these as you can before
approaching the Deck Leader. Once you have 3+ traps ready, move forward, and
use your strongest monster to corner/attack the Deck Leader. When he attacks
your Deck Leader or your attacking monster, your traps should spring. If you’re
low on traps, try using cards that have Spell-binding effects, which will
render his monsters completely inactive. It’s easy to lose to Richard taking
only 2-3 hits, so avoid his monsters as much as possible.

RITUAL:
Revival of Dokurorider (1 Machine + 1 Insect + 1 Zombie)
-Dokurorider ATK:1900 DEF:1850
STRATEGIES/TIPS
The first thing to note about Necromancer is his low deck cost, which in turn
limits your deck. He has a couple of cards that will change all of his monsters
to Zombie types, which isn’t particularly useful considering most of his
monsters are already Zombies. Note that he also has a couple Machines and
Insects, which are most likely for his Ritual. He won’t use Dokurorider very
often, and even when he does, it’s not the strongest ritual monster out
there...Pumpking is his most annoying card, giving his Zombies a 100 ATK boost
every turn. Cards such as Skelgon and Shadow Ghoul often reach 2500+ ATK in
this duel, but Necromancer often sends his monsters off of the Wasteland
Terrain. Take advantage of that, and wait for his monsters to cross the Umi-
borderline before making your move. Thankfully, he has no Traps lying in wait,
although he can wipe the map clear with Dark Hole. The Dokurorider ritual isn’t
too much to sweat about, since the insects he needs for them don’t usually find
their way onto the field. Keep in mind a lot of his monsters have good effects,
such as “The Snake Hair”, which will infinitely spellbind the monster that
destroys it, or “Fiend’s Hand”, which destroys the monster that destroyed it.
Don’t focus too much on his Deck Leader directly, just the weaker monsters he
sends off of the Wasteland Terrain.

COMMON FUSIONS:
Ryu-Kishin Powered ATK:1600 DEF:1200
Summoned Skull ATK:2500 DEF:1200
STRATEGIES/TIPS
Darkness-ruler is actually pretty tough. He relies heavily on Trap Cards, which
spring very often. Also, the combination of Yami Terrain, Power-ups, and
effects such as Castle of Dark Illusions’ brings his Fiends close to or above
3000 ATK often. Even his powerful ritual monster, “Zera the Mant”, comes into
play often, which will have 3300 ATK on Yami fields. In addition to high ATK
cards and Traps, he uses a few Spell-binding cards, such as “Time Seal”,
“Paralyzing Potion”, and “Gorgon’s Eye”.
If you have cards like “Dark-Piercing Light”, “Hiro’s Shadow Scout”, or cards
that reveal face-down enemy cards, use them here. Also, monsters with effects
that negate Limited Range Trap cards are invaluable to the match. Also, his
deck cost is fairly high, so take advantage of that with your own strong cards.
And don’t fret about the odd-numbered ATK and DEF values here. I personally
find my opponent being left with 630 Life Points very annoying, but hey, as
long as I win, I don’t care right?

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Pegasus can be another tricky duelist to beat. The field benefits him greatly.
Remember that there isn’t actually a “Toon” type, just remember that most of
his monsters will gain a boost on Toon Terrain. Also, every other type save
Immortals are decreased on Toon Terrain. He has 2 Rituals, neither of which are
likely to actually be used, and a large number of Magics/Traps. Watch out for
his Brain Control or Change of Heart, and be very wary if you drop below 1000
LP, because he has 2 Tremendous Fires. If you can manage to lure his monsters
off of Toon Terrain, they shouldn’t be too difficult to manage, but attacking
on Toon Terrain is risky. “Toon Summoned Skull” is probably his strongest
monster, as a 3000 ATK monster on Toon Terrain. Direct Damage is extremely
useful here, as well as field-altering cards. If you don’t have enough cards to
make use of either strategy, try using some of your own Toon-boosted monsters,
if any. Some of his monsters, including “Stuffed Animal” and “Dragon Piper”,
have very low ATKs, which can be a good spot to aim for. When attacking, try to
stay out of range of his facedown cards though, since some will likely be
traps. A good way to reveal his traps is to send your own trap cards towards
them. Your card will trigger their effects and waste them in place of a
monster. One more sneaky card to be prepared for is “Magical Neutralizing Force
Field”. It removes all power-ups/decreases/etc. which can be very dangerous if
you’re using a large number of power-ups.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Ishtar’s map is one of the most annoying to maneuver around, since it’s filled
with Crush Terrain. Most of her monsters are obnoxiously weak, but still
difficult to destroy. She also performs quite a few fusions (sometimes she’ll
fuse the same monster more than once), although most of the time it’s “Bolt
Escargot”. You might have noticed she has a few weak Dragon-type monsters,
which are used primarily for he “Aqua Dragon” fusion. Her Ritual monster, “Crab
Turtle”, often finds it’s way onto the field, and exceeds 3000 ATK on the Umi
Terrain. The most threatening card in her deck is “Mirror Wall” though.
Whenever you attack, “Mirror Wall” will permanently cut that monster’s ATK in
half. Either stock a “Royal Decree” in your deck, or move over it as soon as
it’s activated. I find that the best way to beat her is through high DEF. There
are a few Wasteland Terrain spread throughout the field, all of which are
completely surrounded by Crush. This means, you can play any monster safely on
the Wasteland Terrain, and the only monsters that attack it will have less than
1500 ATK. Just wait for her to attack, and damage herself. Playing defensively
also allows you to avoid Mirror Wall.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Keith has one of my favorite Decks in the game, because Machines are typically
the best monsters in this game (my opinion, of course). Every monster in
Keith’s Deck is a Machine-type (meaning a +500 boost for every monster) with
the exception of “Zoa”. Remember that “Zoa” transforms into “Metalzoa” when
equipped with “Metalmorph”, which will result in a 3500 ATK monster. His deck
seems to be geared mainly towards “Slot Machine”, but he does have stronger
cards. “Stain Storm” may be a card worth consideration in this duel, since it
will destroy all Machines on the field. If you have any Effect Monsters that
activate effects against Machines, user them here, especially “Electromagnetic
Bagworm”. Another way to beat him easily is through Labyrinth manipulation.
Using cards such as “Shadow Ghoul” or “Labyrinth Tank” will give you an
advantage when moving around the field. If you really have no alternative, use
Terrain changes that favor Umi field (such as “Zone Eater”). If you’re using a
Machine-based Deck like I do, you should duel Keith often. “Robotic Knight” and
“Limiter Removal” are extremely useful in Machine Decks.

Gate Guardian Ritual (Kazejin + Suijin + Sanga of the Thunder)
-Gate Guardian ATK:3750 DEF:3400
STRATEGIES/TIPS
Labyrinth Ruler’s field is a bit of a hodgepodge. Terrain boosts don’t play to
great of a roll here. The biggest problems are the three Crush spots, which
conveniently cut the field apart. Labyrinth Ruler can deal direct damage
through magic cards, although it is light damage. His strongest monsters are
“Suijin”, “Kazejin”, an “Sanga of the Thunder”, all of which prevent battle
damage when attacked. They all have over 2000 ATK, and are all needed for his
Gate Guardian Ritual, which you’ll probably never see. His most dangerous
monster is none of the three though, but “Labyrinth Tank”. With 2400 ATK and
DEF, and the ability to move through Labyrinth Terrain, it’s definitely a top
priority to destroy. “Jirai Gumo” actually works against him more than it helps
him. Every time a “Jirai Gumo” moves, Labyrinth Ruler will take 100 LP damage.
Try to get a “Jirai Gumo” to follow you around the field, reducing his LP along
with it. The major goal here should be to reach him before his Labyrinth
crawling monsters reach your Deck Leader. An interesting strategy would be
using multiple “Dark-Piercing Lights”. If you can flip up his “Magical
Labyrinth” or “Labyrinth Wall” cards in the right spot, you can cut off his
Deck leader, making him extremely easy to corner.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Seto can be easy or hard depending on the order he draws his cards in. He has
three “Blue-Eyes White Dragons”, and power-ups for them. He has counter Traps
for nearly every situation, and more than one way to revive his monsters.
Although he predominantly uses Dragons, his Warriors can be a hassle as well.
“Swordstalker” can easily reach 4000+ ATK if played late in the duel. It’s also
worth of mention that his Deck Leader can move two spaces. The Ritual here is
the strongest in the game, but not used very often. If he does happen to summon
“Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon”, be careful when confronting the 4500 ATK monster.
To beat him easily, send monsters around the outside terrain while keeping his
monsters busy in the centerfield. Spellbinding is useful too, especially if you
have any “Dragon Capture Jars”, which will spellbind all Dragons on the field
permanently.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
This is, in my opinion, the hardest enemy in the game. All of his monsters are
negligible, even the 2 ritual monsters, because he stays close to the Crush
Terrain most of the time. The biggest problem here is direct damage. He has
Multiple “Tremendous Fires”, “Just Desserts”, and the worst card in the game
“Riryoku”. Riryoku is a Power-up that cuts your life points in half and adds it
to the equipped monster. If used at the beginning of the duel, this will deal
2000 damage, not to mention his other Direct Damage cards are more than enough
to top it off. His Traps are powerful too, which is easily said through his 2
“Mirror Forces”. “Royal Decree” is extremely useful here, as it will negate any
and all traps activate. Or, if you’re not using that, stock up on “Magic
Jammers” to prevent some of his stronger Magics. If you have it consider using
“Goblin Fan”, a trap that triggers specifically against “Riryoku” and reverses
its effect. You can wipe out his monsters very easily; “Skull Knight” is his
strongest with 2650 ATK. The best way to beat him is to approach his deck
leader quickly and try to stay on the Crush Terrain.

Easy. Fairies are just as easy to deal with as they sound. Basically, as long
as his monsters aren’t perched on a Mountain spot, they should be easy to beat.
Some of her monsters have very low ATKs, and will foolishly end their turn in
attack position. She does pack a long list of Magics though, mostly power-ups,
but she wastes them quite often. If you’re having trouble beating her, it would
be more than appropriate to give up video games altogether and quit at life.

Tristan is the easiest enemy in the game. Even when he’s in the right position
to attack and possibly win the duel, he’ll pass his turn. His monsters are
mostly weak, he has no real pattern or theme to his deck, and no noteworthy
magics or traps. Most of the time, you can make a straightforward attack on his
Deck Leader, giving no heed to his monsters. Very few of his monsters have
effects too, so there isn’t much to worry about.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
“Harpie Lady” is the major focus of this deck. Every Power-up in Mai’s deck
increases “Harpie Lady’s” power, and “Elegant Egotist” will transform her into
“Harpie Lady Sisters”. Also, the vast majority of the field is Mountain
Terrain. Her most dangerous monster is “Harpie’s Pet Dragon”, which can gain
ATK and DEF with the help of more Harpie Ladies. Her deck is based on high ATK,
but she is vulnerable to traps, and will run straight into them. Her Deck
Leader can move 2 spaces per turn as well, making her annoying to attack
directly. “Serpent Night Dragon” is a pretty lame Ritual monster, and I have
never personally seen her summon it. A strong card that only Mai will use is
“Harpie’s Feather Duster” which mocks “Raigeki’s” effect for Magics and Traps.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t show up in the roulettes.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Mako is, unsurprisingly, advantageous on Umi Terrain. His cards follow a
similar pattern as Ishtar, especially when it comes to fusions (he will fuse
for “Aqua Dragon” often). Unlike Ishtar though, many of his effect monsters
manipulate the terrain, changing it to Umi. “Kairyu-Shin”, “Zone Eater”, “The
Furious Sea King”, and other cards all change the field to Umi Terrain,
although it isn’t usually a problem. He has no traps, and his only Magic card
that isn’t a Power-up is “Heavy Storm”, which destroys all Magics/Traps on the
field. His monsters range from weak to strong, so there isn’t any unique
strategies worth trying here. His Ritual barely every comes out, so there is no
point stressing over it. “Maiden of the Aqua” can increase his Aqua monsters’
power, and “Ooguchi” has the ability to automatically warp to your summoning
zone, but there isn’t much else surprising in way of monster effects. Take care
of him how you seem fit, and avoid using my Machines for this one.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Joey’s another ambiguous opponent, sometimes easy, sometimes hard. While the
main force of his deck is 1800+ ATK Warriors, he has equal power in his
dragons, especially “Red-Eyes B. Dragon”. Although it’s not often “Time Wizard”
gets to play its effect out, if it does, all dragons with less than 2400 ATK
will transform into “Thousand Dragons”. The map here is difficult to manage, as
it is split into vertical strips of one terrain from your Deck Leader to his.
He has a decent number of Power-ups, but plays them onto the field sometimes.
His traps are limited, with the worst being “Acid Trap Hole”, which is only
good for one monster. Note that is capable of fusing a diverse set of Monsters,
including “Red-Eyes Metal Dragon”. Otherwise, this match doesn’t hold very many
surprises, but is subject to difficult situations like any other duel.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Shadi’s deck is very poor at best. While he is closest to the Terrain that best
supports his monsters (Forests for his Pyro and Wasteland for his Rocks), he
doesn’t use those monsters well. Sometimes, he’ll summon a Rock-type on the
Crush Terrain, forgetting that they are boosted by his Deck Leader, and they’ll
be immediately destroyed. No, not the smartest duelist. Don’t bother trying to
lure him onto the Umi or Yami fields, since he very rarely follow your monsters
past the Crush centerline. He does perform quite a few fusions, but most of
those wont have any type advantages. His Deck Leader is very easy to target,
and most of his monsters aren’t threatening enough to worry about, except maybe
“Ushi Oni”, “Zoa” or “Vermillion Sparrow”. He does have quite a few Power-ups,
but they aren’t versatile enough to work with any monster. To sum it up,
Shadi’s very easy, so just use your normal strategies.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Don’t fret about Exodia. Unlike most Yu-Gi-Oh games, Exodia is nothing to worry
about when used by the enemies in this game. For him to pull off Exodia’s one-
hit KO move, he must have all four pieces surrounding his Deck Leader at the
start of his turn. This means he can’t summon more than two non-Exodia monsters
and still hope to play it. Also, when he does play an Exodia piece, he
sometimes moves right over it. Exodia isn’t the full force of his deck though;
all else said, Jasper can be tricky, and that’s mostly because of the Labyrinth
Terrain surrounding his Deck Leader. Because of the Labyrinths, you’ll have to
approach from either side, and Jasper usually has something waiting. He
specializes in high DEF, and has the cards to make his Spellcasters exceed 4000
DEF. Also, many of his monsters have Spellbinding effects, which gets rather
tedious after a while. And to top it off, he has a good number of Direct Damage
Cards, including “Tremendous Fires” and “Just Desserts”. Direct Damage can be
used to your advantage too, and it pays to use your opponent’s Spells against
them here, so try cards like “Doppelganger”, “Graverobber”, “Magician of
Faith”, etc. He doesn’t have much to attack with, so if you can manage to get a
strong monster inside the Labyrinths, you should be guaranteed a win. Remember,
in case you’re wondering, that none of the Exodia cards will appear on the
victory slots.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
Bakura’s most notable feature is having the lowest Deck Cost of any duelist,
due in fact to his poorly powered deck. You have to limit yourself for this
duel quite a bit, but you won’t really need a total powerhouse to take him
down. In fact, much like Ishtar, the field is dotted with Crush Terrain, which
doesn’t affect Bakura much. Some of his plants have useful effects; for
example, “Yashinoki” gives Bakura 500 LP, which adds in with the 50 LP his Deck
Leader gives him every turn. “Dark Plant” and “Crush Card” give him the chance
to generate more Crush zones. If you have them, Immortal monsters can dominate
the match, being able to move, and even gaining bonuses, on Crush Terrain.
Don’t panic if he manages to summon “Super War-Lion”, since it can’t move very
much. His power-ups are fairly useless too, since he won’t power them up too
high. Again, the only problem with this match is the limited Deck Cost, and
there are a few cards that may be worth aiming for on the slots.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
The first thing to note is that Yugi’s Deck Leader abilities reduce all of your
Fiends by 300 points and increase all of his Spellcasters by 500. Also, I’d
like to point out that his Map looks odd, but it does follow a pattern. The
vertical and horizontal columns have the same pattern of Terrains to them, not
that it’s important. Yugi’s deck is a combination of useless cards and powerful
cards. One of his favorite spots to play cards on is the Crush Terrain right in
front of his Deck Leader; most of the time, he’ll place a Magic or Trap there.
He has 2 very powerful Rituals, but seems to never play either. Other than
those he has some other strong monsters, such as “Summoned Skull”, “Dark
Magician”, and “Gaia the Fierce Knight”. Of course, with the Terrain changing
on every move, it’s not hard to gain the type advantage in this duel. He has a
long list of weak monsters too, but usually knocks these off quickly. And of
course, be wary of “Mirror Force”, which while destroy all Attack position
cards on your side of the field if you trigger it. I personally don’t like the
way this duel plays out, but there are some nice rewards on the slots for a
change when you win.

STRATEGIES/TIPS
This time around, Llyr has less in the way of heavy magics and much more in
terms of brute strength. Looking at his deck, you can see that nearly every
monster he uses is somewhere around 2500+ ATK, not to mention many of them get
boosted on the center Yami Terrain. One technique he uses often, through “Magic
Drain”, “Berfomet”, and “Gate Deeg” is draining your summoning points and
adding them to his. He summons high-leveled monsters frequently, so he uses
these cards to keep his summoning points high. Just like his White-rose
counterpart, he stocks 3 “Riryokus”, which is deadly when added to his already
pumped-up monsters. Eve his list of fusions looks intimidating, with the
strongest being “Meteor B. Dragon”. Remember that his Deck Leader will reduce
any Spellcasters within 2 spaces of him by 500 points, and his fiends have a
300 point boost within 2 spaces. The best way to beat him would be through
control-swapping cards such as “Change of Heart”. It’s impractical to think you
can take on one of his face-down monsters unless your own monster has well over
3000 ATK. This is best done by using Fiends, since they get boosted on the Yami
Terrain, wont lose ATK or DEF on the Sogen Terrain, and aren’t affected by
Chakra’s Deck Leader abilities. If you have any Labyrinth crawlers, it’s easy
to get a sneak attack on his Leader. Just remember that Llyr has a “Labyrinth
Tank” of his own waiting around. “Goblin Fan” comes in handy as well, just like
with his other form, reversing the effects of any “Riryokus” he uses. If you’re
having trouble taking out his stronger monsters, try to get as much damage as
possible out on his “Gate Deegs”, since they are the weakest cards in his deck.
Unfortunately, many of Llyr’s cards wont appear on the reward slots if you win,
but the match is still well worth repeating.

COMMON FUSIONS:
You should know what fusions work best in your own deck, but you can battle
Duel Master K to discover new fusions
STRATEGIES/TIPS
To battle Duel Master K, you must select Custom Duel on the main menu while no
Memory Card is inserted in the 2nd memory card slot. I only know two practical
uses for this battle though. First, you can watch Duel Master K’s moves to
discover new moves you didn’t know were possible in your deck (mostly fusions).
Second, you can use it to get more copies of a card in your deck via the
victory slots. The slots are still restrictive though, so don’t expect your
rare cards to show up.

His Deck leader is Exodia the Forbidden One, and besides the remaining Exodia
cards, the entirety of his deck is Magics/Traps.

**CT00*************************** CARD TIPS ***********************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made this section to point out some of the effects/cards/combinations that
you can use to your advantage during the course of the game. Some are very
obvious, and some may be more obvious that others, but I’ll leave you to decide
that.
~EXPLOSIVES~
(Blast Juggler, Blast Sphere, Widespread Ruin)
These cards, when triggered, destroy all cards in a 3X3 block around them.
Blast Juggler and Blast Sphere must be destroyed for their effects to work.
~WASTELAND CHANGERS~
(Curse of Dragon, Cyberstein)
These monsters will change their occupied spot into Wasteland Terrain when they
attack/are attacked. Cyberstein is handier with this effect since he will
receive a Terrain Boost because of it.
~DAMAGE AMPLIFIERS~
(Kryeul, Midnight Fiend)
These monsters, while face-up in Defense mode, increase all damage done to life
points.
~ETERNAL SPELLBINDERS~
(Dream Clown, The Snake Hair, Gorgon’s Eye, Paralyzing Potion, Gravity Bind)
Eternally Spellbinding an enemy monster permanently keeps them off your back.
They’ll remain stationary and unable to attack until the opponent gets rid of
them, or until you decide to take them out.
~MAHA VAILO~
Even those this card is a Spellcaster, it’s one of the most useful cards in all
decks. While face-up in Defense, all power boosts increase by 200 Points. Just
keep in mind this will work for your opponent as well. It has no effect on
Riryoku.
~CARD SPECIFIC REVERSALS~
(White Hole, Anti Raigeki, Goblin Fan, Fake Trap)
In order as they are listed above, these cards will protects you from Dark
Hole, Raigeki, Riryoku, and Harpie’s Feather Duster). Use them when you feel
they are necessary to use.
~MAN-EATER BUG~
If this card is flipped face-up in battle, it automatically destroys the
monster attacking it, or the monster it is attacking. Obtained from Weevil, and
useful in almost any deck.
~MEGAMORPH~
The universal Power-up. It only gives a 300-point increase, but works on any
monster.
~CURSEBREAKER~
The main point of Cursebreaker is to keep Deck Cost low, since it only costs 1
DP for this Power-up. However, it also removes Spellbinding, and removes
increases/decreases from card effects.
~DESTRUCTION TRAPS~
(House of Adhesive Tape, Eatgaboon, Bear Trap, Invisible Wire, Acid Trap Hole)
These cards automatically destroy monsters that come into range. Each has a set
ATK limit to activate, but Invisible Wire and Acid Trap Hole are probably the
only useful ones.
~LABYRINTH CRAWLER~
(Labyrinth Tank, Shadow Ghoul, Dungeon Worm)
These monsters can move onto and through Labyrinth Terrain, making it so much
easier to defeat opponents who protect themselves by it, especially Jasper and
Labyrinth-Ruler. Note that Shadow Ghoul will automatically transform into Wall
Shadow when he enters a Labyrinth Terrain (He will change from a Zombie to a
Warrior)
~LABYRINTH REMOVERS~
(Cannon Soldier, Dharma Cannon, Catapult Turtle, Barrel Rock)
These cards literally destroy Labyrinths; When entering a Labyrinth Terrain,
they remove them and replace the spot with Normal Terrain. At least one is
useful in every deck.
~REVIVERS~
(Golgoil, Multiply, Chakra, Jowls of Dark Demise)
When destroyed, these monsters will teleport back into an open Summoning Zone.
Their effects can be activated infinitely (Note that Multiply is a Power-Up
that grants this effect to Kuriboh).
~NO DAMAGE~
(Blocker, Kuriboh, Dark Prisoner, Suijin, Kazejin, Sanga of the Thunder)
These Monsters can cause damage, but will take no damage under normal attack
conditions. They are good as scouts, sending them to purposefully activate
enemy traps.
~REVEALERS~
(Dark-Piercing Light, The Stern Mystic, Monster Eye, Hiro’s Shadow Scout)
These cards allow you to see your opponent’s face-down cards, which can be used
to your advantage in many cases.
~DARKNESS APPROACHES~
This card flips all cards face-down. This allows you to activate flip-effects
multiple times, which can be very useful with Barrel Dragon, Man-Eater Bug,
etc. Here’s a good strategy I developed using it:
Set Magician of Faith or Mask of Darkness face-down, and also set Mystical Elf.
First, Flip Mystical Elf, giving all Light monsters an 800 boost. Next, play
Darkness Approaches, flipping Mystical Elf back down. Next flip Magician of
Faith/Mask of darkness, and revive Darkness Approaches. Repeat this every turn
until Mystical Elf (and your other Light monsters) have as high of an ATK/DEF
as you deem necessary.
~STAT COPIERS~
(Eyearmor, Green Kappa, Change Slime)
These monsters, if in Attack mode, guarantee that an attacking monster will be
destroyed if they attack these. They copy your enemy’s stats (Eyearmor and
Green Kappa will copy the highest ATK on the field). Always keep them in Attack
mode. Also, try flipping them on a negative Terrain, because they will have
even higher stats when they move off of it.
~TRAP NEGATION~
(Royal Decree, Ancient Tree of Enlightenment)
Of course, more useful against some opponents than others, but against Llyr,
Pegasus, or Darkness Ruler, they are very valuable cards.
~POSITION CHANGERS~
(Key Mace, The Drdek, Stop Defense)
These all monsters’ positions on the field. Changing from Defense to Attack
allows to take advantage of weak monsters, and changing from Attack to defense
lets you take out stronger monsters.

I realize that Duelists of the Roses is no longer and never was a very widely-
played game. I find it fun, which means someone else must find it slightly
amusing, so I decided to make this guide to possibly help those players.
Remember I only give permission to use this guide on GameFAQS.com, nowhere
else, under any circumstances. I can be contacted at

will answer any, if any questions I receive concerning this guide. Thank you
