I like how future hopes summon quote has the “meeting between heaven and earth” as a reference to masterpiece the first jp zexal op where the last line is “we’ll become something greater than the meeting between heaven and earth”, referencing the relationship between Yuma and Astral
You probably have response set to “auto” in the circle at the bottom of screen, you need to put it to “ON” every time you start the duel, or even during the duel if you don’t want to reveal cards like Maxx-C to your opponent, then you can activate effects in draw phase and stand-by phase
One slight improvement would be to xyz summon number 39 using sage, then straight up playing utopia prime on it, then rank up to number 99. Use number 99 to xyz summon utopia double. This way you can have ultimate leo's atk doubled without wasting utopia doubles effect
I started the run with a Gold 2 account then able to atleast reach Plat 2 with it, but demoted to plat 3. So far the deck is easy to use and I can say it's plat worthy if you know atleast one combo
If you can get your Leo Utopia Ray to equip himself with ZW Eagle Claw, you have a spell speed 4 negate for the first trap activated. Also there's Numbers Protection.
Focus on what deck that you to build first, then either craft cards or buy packs from the store, also just do the regular missions and events if there is any. The game is really generous and you don't really have to spend irl money.
