Top 10 Worst Skills in Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links 

If you get Nibiru'd while "One with the Dinos" active, you just end yourself the same way dinosaur meets their demise.

It would be really interesting to see what skills are included in a "Top 10 Best Skills in Duel Links" video. Some of the skills in that game have aged well since Duel Links started... And some of them are quite honestly busted.

147 days since last Worst classic cards video

I was about to mention KaibaCorp Bling should have been an honorable mention for only being useful to bump Duel Assessment, but I just noticed it now lets you draw a random glossy/prismatic card whenever your LP drop by 2000. Pretty neat

Top 10 Awesome But Impractical Skills would be a fun list. I would include Zane's skill Fatal Five, and the Paradox Brothers skill Elements Unite! as two examples.

For Z-one, his worst skill has to be "Infinite Power of the Timelords." It requires you to have Infinite Light on the field and all it gives you is a special summon each turn. The issue is that Infinite Light is near impossible to get on the field without his other skill "Empty, Infinite, Infinite Light" which sets up Empty Machine from outside the deck.

Smile bright was useful when a lot of people were playing Card of the Soul, by messing up their LP they lose the monster to add. (That card played more frequently in duel links than in any other Yu-Gi-Oh format due to 4000 LP starting point which means there are more target to add than 8000 LP)

I still remember using Meet My Family to make a That Grass deck so I could insta-summon Rainbow Dragon if I drew one. 90% of the time I’d get all 7 since the rest of my deck was playsets of the Crystal Beasts and Rainbow Dragon

it's a shame that Arcana Force XXI - The World isn't in Duel Links, because Sartorious' Skill would work really well with it

I love how this open the possibility for the following tops: 1) Top 10 Skills that require an specific Monster to work (Example, "Raging Pendulum" requires you to minimum have 1 "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" and 1 "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon" in the Extra Deck to work AT ALL) 2) Top 10 Generic Skills that can be used with any deck 3) Top 10 Skills with the most restrictions (EX. Soul of Light and Darkness made Black Luster Soldier a Meta contender instantly, but you can only summon Link Monsters from Extra Deck with that skill, and you can only special Summon "Gaia the fierce knight" monsters and "black luster soldier" monsters in general). 4) Top 10 best skills in general. 5) Top 10 skills that received a Nerf / errata 6) top 10 best skills that aren't used inits intended way (yuya's "Smile world" helping Amano-Iwato become a floodgate during your opponent's turn, or Sartorious's skill that lets you start the duel with the field spell "Light Barrier", being abused by decks that don't even play Arcana Force onsters, like Metalfoes

Logs you should you do the Arcana Force monsters, they are based on tarot cards, specifically the major arcana of the classic rider-waite-smith system. Its a pretty obvious reference but you did Burning Abyss video which is another super obvious reference

It's really awesome that Meklords were once meta because they had a skill that made them ultra consistent

6:03 You could just fix this one by at least making it so ALL your “Frightfur” monsters, fusion or otherwise, gain the 500, _permanently._

It's so funny that the power of a dinosaur of Hasselberry are as useless in Duel Links as they are in the anime XD

What about Grandpa’s Exodia and BE skills? The Exodia one takes, like, 6 turns for the cards to only be in your deck (at the bottom of your deck, actually), and the BE one forces you to use a single Blue Eyes just so it can gain 500 atk

It's worth noting that when 'Meet my Family' was released, It wasn't possible to obtain multiples of Every Crystal Beast, so the skill was powercrept by cards being released.

I am glad and loved when you are making Duel Links related content. I hope there's more video after this one~

DuelLogs got a sponsor I'm so proud of our boy

Its probably not as bad as anything on this list, but when Blair first came out, I spent 2 hours trying to resolve her skill "Happily Ever After" because of the line "and wed the 2 monsters". I figured a special animation would play or a unique effect would happen. But no. It's just a joke skill.

Honorable Mention : Meet My Family was actually used in Crystal Beast Grass decks, when that was still allowed. It was probably the best way to play it at the time, as Jesse Anderson had just released.

8:52 This one could be fixed if, if your opponent draws it, they have to show all cards that are from their hand and facedown on their field. That way you at least have a good read on what your opponent has at that moment.

6:50 I like that you took this bit of flavour into consideration.

9:35 Simple fixes: ⚪️Make it so it’s any 20 monsters, period. ⚪️And make it so that if they’re ALL D/D like this currently specifies, you can just immediately activate return with now wait or spell/trap lockout.

Another worst skill in my opinion is Scapegoat which basically skips your whole turn to play 3 sheep tokens in defence mode and that’s it.

Haven't played duel links in YEARS but was strangely thinking that how sartorius has a skill where he can make the coin flip land however he wants that I feel bandit Keith should have got something similar but with dice. Called something like "loaded roll" or "loaded dice". IDK

9/10, no Maxx C explanation

7:08 Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth deserves a proper retrain (one by itself, and not something by proxy like “Ultimate Great Insect”) _Perfectly Ultimate Grand Moth_ (EARTH) Level 8 Insect/Effect _Requires 3 Insect Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). Can be special summoned (From your hand or GY) by tributing 2 or more insect monsters you control that are equipped with 1 or more cards each. If this card is summoned: You can activate 1 “Corrosive Scales” from your hand, deck or GY. If this card would be destroyed (By battle or card effect) or banished, you can tribute 1 Insect monster from your hand or field instead. (Quick Effect) You can apply 1 of the following effects of “Perfectly Ultimate Grand Moth” per turn:_ ⚪️Add to your hand or Activate 1 Spell/Trap from your deck that mentions “Insect” in it’s name or effects. ⚪️Pay any amount of LP: Special Summon 1 insect monster from your hand, deck or GY who’s total ATK/DEF equals the amount payed. ⚪️Target 1 insect monster you control: If that target leaves the field by an opponent’s card or effect; Special Summon 1 Insect monster from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. ATK/3500 DEF/3000

We get these and then we also got stuff like Raging Pendulum and Clear Wing Accelaration 💀

I will say that Jesse Anderson's "Meet My Family!" did have some potential when the spell card "That Grass Looks Greener" was legal and at 3, and even when it was at 1 (Yeah, Konami never learned their lesson from the OCG when Grass did the exact same thing before). With that skill you can make the biggest deck available at a massive 38 cards, while I personally just used this to turbo out a Rainbow Dragon turn 1, I'm sure you could have gone wild with some Zombie Shenanigans. Like yeah, you have 7 mostly bricks and 1 that searches them out, but milling a potential 18 cards would basically insta win with almost any deck, let alone a monster one.

I'm so glad you're back to using your own voice for videos. Welcome back.

Can we have a video about the best characters and skills? At least before Blue Angel stops being meta My poor girl deserves love

Good to see some Duel Links content. The game needs some love

Here's an idea we'll I guess 2 but top ten worst/best monsters that can be placed in the spell/trap zone. (Pendulum excluded)

Can you please make more Top 10 most important cards of many characters? I want to know the important cards of Yubel, Yusei, Aster, Yugo, Revolver, Chazz, Jaden, Jack, Crow, Akiza, Leo, Luna, Kalin, Yuma, Kite, Reginald, Quattro, Alexis and Playmaker.

I don’t know if you have done this yet, but a Worst Archtype vid would be cool

damn, of all the cards that didn't need a nerf, Minor Goblin Official was pretty high on the list ^^

14:20 easiest way to fix skill would be to let it be usable from the start. Great for OTK’s… For Either player, if your opponent manages to off it before the Dino tramples their LP.

Hey, im glad ur throat feels better. Love ur videos! I wish i could catch ur twitch streams more often, but in my timezone its just to early 😂 greetings from the other half of the world :D

Cyber Style almost deserves a mention. Currently, it allows you to summon up to 3 Proto-Cyber Dragon to your field from outside of your deck. The monsters cannot attack, can only be used as Fusion Material, and cannot change their battle positions. The reason this skill shouldn't be on the list is because, historically, it had enabled a number of strategies by using those Protos, such as as tribute fodder. Because the current effect is after multiple Erratas to bring it in line so it would not be abused outside of Cyber Dragon fusions. It took nerfing the skill to hell and a few other card hits to finally get it out of high tier ranked games.

Dear lord I forgot how utterly insane Hasselberry's backstory was.

13:54 Road to the Pro League isn't the only way to increase Duel Assessment score with a Skill - Mokuba has a Skill called KaibaCorp Bling that increases your score for using Glossy and Prismatic cards, which also happens to stack based on the number of Glossy/Prismatic cards used (and it also has a second effect to guarantee a Glossy or Prismatic card for your Draw Phase once per Duel after losing 2000 LP). So even if you wanted to farm score, KaibaCorp Bling is generally better for having better potential payoff and an easier condition.

Meet my family was actually fun to use when they first did 1 card/ highlander format. A you suddenly and legally had 2 copies of some cards.

i feel like trap search was printed into speed duel in the recent box set but it might have been under a different name. idk why they did that

I wonder how Xyz summoning would interact with Hasselberrys skill, sure it defeats the purpose of the skill, but other cards with 'leave the field' don't trigger on Xyz summon 🤔

I once dueled someone in duel links pvp where they used the paradox ability where they stared off with gat guardian on the field but they only had 500 life points. I just so happened to have gear golem the moving fortress in my opening hand & of course I FTK it with gear golem's effect.

And then there are A bond illuminates the future and Destiny effect

The Smile bright skill can be used in Aromage decks since you can make your LP just slightly higher than your opponent a bit easier without using a card in your hand to start combo.

Finally some DL content

I just redownloaded duel links, rad timing

Another problem with that Espa Roba skill, it's better to leave the opponents cards there purely to kill their field. If they have a full back row they can't play anymore traps period, so even before accounting for Jinzo's stuff it's better to flood their field with dead cards over clearing the field if you've already locked it down. So even if Jinzo died they're stuck with w/e was already in their back row since there's no way to clear otherwise.

Top 10 cards made to emulate anime moments (i.e., Gagagaga Magician)

First now i kinda realize GX had an lovecraftian elder god as a Villian. And Jaden went "Radical" fighting a cosmic horror entity

14:04 - Technically that can be quite powerful... as long you direct attack at 4000LP, or over load LP... if it is a tributed Dino then you can use that Monach Awakens trap to become immune to other card effects... Though the drawbacks to that just like Titan Showdown are interesting.... stranger still is Konami has never updated the skill to somehow work with Link, XYZ, monsters. Yet even more randomly anything Level 7 or higher that is a DINO even just for that turn only can be chosen... wonder if that'll ever get abused.

Kind of surprised the ParaDox Brother's Skill that starts you with Suijin, Sanga, and Kazejin on field and Gate Guardian in hand wasn't here. 3 monsters that can't attack, 1 card in hand, and no backup/protection is just asking for trouble.

Can’t wait to watch

I feel like Aoi has the worst skills in the game. You cannot use 1 of her Marincess skills because there arent enough water cyberse monsters in the game yet. Trickstar Trick gives your opponent a draw 3 and only at the end of their turn do they banish their entire hand. her Heart creation skill is also useless because you need to have coral anemone to even use it, and even then it cannot be used as material and only have 2 main deck marincess monsters

2:39 missed opportunity for DuelPogSep50

Meet My Family + Grass Looks Greener or Magical Merchant back then was fun

One with the Dinos would be fairly simple to fix... Just make the skill also give some protections to the Dinosaur monster, make it much harder or even impossible to destroy or banish by Card Effect.

what about the iron call skill from bronk? that makes you ad iron call, but lose your draw phase in the next turn.

Have you done a top 10 worst archetype video?

love this duel links content

Top 10 cards with Spell Speed 2 Destruction

If u wanna make a "top 10 best duel links skill" I hope u are seperate the character exclusive skills from the generic ones bc its pretty much clear that 90% of that list would certainly have the exclusive ones

Amazing that most of these skills have negative effects as if they would be game breaking without them

What about “Top 10 good cards/decks in OCG/TCG that are bad in Duel Links”

There’s like 200 skills and 7 of them are good 😂

The worst skill I've tried was Mokuba's skill You're Powerless. It's supposed to protect your monster from being targeted by spell/trap cards. Which sounds good on paper, but what it actually does is negates a equip spell/trap to your monster and only during your Main Phase. So the only viable target for this skill is Fiendish Chain during your Main Phase after they negate your effect.🤬🤬🤬

3:55 I have an idea for a card that could not only boost Arcana Force cards, but also gamble cards in general: (Edit: made the first round of adjustments) _Arcana Force XV - The Archfiend_ (LIGHT) Level 7 Pendulum Scales: 7⬅️➡️7 _Once per turn, during either players turn, if a field spell that mentions “Arcana”, “Archfiend”, “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects is face-up on the field, you can place this card into your pendulum zones (From your hand, GY, extra deck or monster zones). Each time a coin is tossed or a die is rolled: You can add 1 card that mentions “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your field, deck or GY). Once per turn, during either players turn, you can either toss 1 coin or roll 1 Six-Sided die: Apply 1 of the following effects based on the result, and if you do, you can special summon this card from your pendulum zone:_ Heads or 1-3: Add 1 card that mentions “Archfiend” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your deck, GY or face-up from extra deck). Tails or 4-6: Add 1 card that mentions “Arcana” in it’s name or effects to your hand (From your deck, GY or face-up from extra deck). Fairy//Pendulum/Effect _(Quick Effect) Once per turn, You can discard this card: Add to your hand or activate (from your deck or GY) 1 field spell that mentions “Arcana”, ‘Archfiend”, “Coin”, “Die” or “Dice” in it’s name or effects. If a coin is tossed or a die is rolled: You can normal or special summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, during either players turn, you can either toss 1 coin or roll 1 Six-Sided die: Apply 1 of the following effects based on the result, and if you do, you can place this card you control into your pendulum zone:_ Heads or 1-3: For the rest of the turn, cards you control are unaffected by the effects of your opponents Traps and level 7 or lower monsters. Tails or 4-6: For the rest of the turn, cards you control are unaffected by the effects of your opponents spells and level 7 or higher monsters. ATK/2500 DEF/2500 Basically, I took the “Fiend” part of XV’s name and made it into “ARCHfiend” (So we have some cross archetype action going), I expanded it to become viable with Coins and Die/Dice at the same time (Because Archfiends had this die thing going on for a hot second), and I made it a pendulum with a lot of self-synergy…

I was honestly yesterday just thinking that a list of worst skills in DL would be interesting. Couple of honorable mentions: My treasure, Blue Eyes White Dragon (Solomon Moto): Increasing the attack of Blue Eyes by 500 atk is such a minor boost and yet the restrictions to use this skill are ridiculous (you can only have 1 Blue Eyes White Dragon in your deck and no extra deck cards, thereby killing the entire reason for using Blue Eyes in the first place). Even without the restrictions there are so many better Blue Eyes skills for Kaiba that it wouldn't be worth using this one. The restrictions make this skill unusable (although I guess it makes sense within the lore that Kaibi who invents Duel Links would not want any person using Blue Eyes to have a good skill but himself). Elements Unite (Paradox Brothers): Prior to the introduction of XYZ and later on Link monsters this would easily be a top three worst skill. Not only do you lose your entire hand but you also start with a measly 500 LP. And all to set up the materials to summon Gate Guardian, a beatstick with no effects other that it's summoning conditions. And you thought the LP boost ones were bad. However, this skill is so old that there actually aren't any restrictions of use the materials for extra deck summons, just that they can't activate their effects or attack. Heck, if only the materials were 1 level higher, you could use them to summon Coach King Gianttrainer, which could replinish your hand. As it is though, the loss of your hand and most of your LP makes it not worth it.

Congrats on getting hellofresh to sponsor lol

Hope you are doing better mr Logs

Heck yeah, Duel Links content!

There’s also Waiting for Abyss Actors which is just a -2 for no reason.

Please do Top 10 cards with soft Once Per Turn !

Unless he's vastly improved that laughably bad AI from yesterday, it sounds like his throat is doing better

Could say the worst skills are those which are only usable in tag duel, though we never saw those skill viable other than an tag duel event

kinda wish skills were added to normal yugioh as an extra deck card type, but with an activation cost and maybe a low limit to how many you can have in a deck(like just one or possibly up to three max) to make them not too insane

Surprised "The Supreme King's Soldiers" isnt on here, sure its kinda a joke skill but it gives you 1 of 7 random monsters that do NOT work together, best case is using it in a Demise King of Armageddon Deck for a 2/7 chance of either getting Demise or Chaos Sorc

yayyy duel links content

LP Boost Alpha isn't bad, there is no negative to it but the 1k extra LP at best for just about every deck slightly protects against OTKs... Though it does have synergy with Aromages. Because they benefit from having more LP than your opponent, and starting with more definitely helps with that.

Actually, Road to the Pro League is not the only Assesment booster - there is KaibaCorp Bling, which increase the duel score for the Glossy cards you’ve played, on the exact same way that Pro League does. It is however SLIGHTLY more useful simply by letting it be a Draw Sense: Foil Rarity every 2000 LP you lose. Letting you guaranteed draw a Glossy/Prismatic/Legend Foil card during your draw phase.

People complaining about a better than most ai, when actual logs is out here saying "Vidgeo"

Just got back from meming on ladder with the road magick explosion deck

even with out the 50 turn draw limit. it would never get the opponent down to 1000 with out extending the game, the opponent would deck out before it happens even is the only thing that happend to the deck was the draw phase draw.

Bro has hello fresh sponsor but we all know on stream you order take out 👀

3:38 also, duels can only go up to 55 turns, after that the duel ends in a draw. Reversal of fate could have been a good skill for the gx legacy duels, being able to use hanged man, but konami only allowed for right side up to be used, which made it not possible to make a deck with hanged man in it.

TOP 10 RANK 8 MONSTERS OF ALL TIME

Wow, I use trap search all the time. Gives me a lot of advantages, bc Jinzo might not stay on the field the whole duel.

Doesn't Mokuba have the increase points for prismatic etc. cards skill?

Some DL skills are so broken they warp entire formats, and others are making a vanilla monster with 650 attack get boosted by 200 attack once per turn

Finally a duel links top 10!

Isn't one with the dinos a worse "Relay Soul"?

For the last skill, can you cheese it by using the monster as xyz material?

Didn’t even know life point boost delta existed. That’s wild. Edit: ive never heard of any of these skills.

Have you done a best duel links skills list?
