1. Introduction
###############################################################################
First of all, thank you for choosing to read my Character Decks Guide for
Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction. The purpose of this FAQ is to list the decks
that the characters in the game use.
In addition to listing the character decks, I have also written strategies for
the Protagonists, Antagonists and Hall of Eternity Duelists. Before looking at
the character strategies, I suggest reading the Hints and Tips section for
general hints and tips on defeating every duelist in the game.
If you have read my FAQ/Walkthrough for Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, you'll
probably have noticed that I put the same character strategies and tips in this
Character Decks Guide. I decided to make a separate FAQ for people who only
want to know the decks that each character uses, so they wouldn't have to waste
time skipping through the Walkthrough to get to the Character Decks sections.
Thanks Slipknot_Rulezz for giving information on the decks of the Protagonists,
Antagonists, Miscellaneous, Robotic Monkeys, Neo Ghouls, and Millennium
Guardians. I have credited your contributions in the Credits section.

3. Hints and Tips
###############################################################################
This section lists hints and tips on how to progress through the game. You can
read the following tips if you want to counter your opponent's duelling
strategy.
*If you're having trouble summoning your tribute monsters in a duel, there are
three cards that can help you summon them in one turn. These cards are
Monster Reborn, Brain Control and Change of Heart. Use them to steal your
opponent's monsters, and you'll be able to sacrifice them to summon your
stronger ones.
*If your opponent's deck is based on summoning strong monsters, he/she will
probably have monsters with multiplying special abilities in his/her deck.
Ancient Lamp, Revival Jam, Doron and Toad Master are the most commonly used
multiplying monsters in a duel. Fortunately, three of them can be easily
taken down by Thunder-Summon monsters.
*If your opponent uses monsters, such as Big Shield Gardna and Millennium
Shield, to protect his/her Life Points, I advise playing Stop Defense to
switch his/her monsters from defence mode to attack mode. Although these
monsters excel in defence, their ATK Points are low.
*Brain Control can take control of your opponent's strongest monster for one
turn and it can also destroy the monster as well. You can't discard it from
the field, but you can sacrifice it to summon a strong monster. If you don't
have anything you can summon in your hand, you can still sacrifice your
opponent's monster and it'll be sent straight to the Graveyard.
*If your opponent specialises in using the same Summons of monsters for
duels, it would be advantageous to put monsters in your deck that are superior
to his/hers. For example, when a Dark-Summon Kuriboh battles a Light-
Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Kuriboh will win, even though Kuriboh is
a weak monster.
*The Kuriboh/Multiply combo is another good strategy to defeat duelists. If
you have an Egyptian God Card, Kuriboh, and Multiply in your hand, you're
almost guaranteed to be able to summon your God Card on your next turn. Place
Kuriboh on the field and activate Multiply. The whole field will now be
covered with Kuriboh. If you can keep three monsters on the field, you'll be
able to summon your God Card.
*Cards such as Spellbinding Circle, Mammoth Graveyard and Viser Des are good
for weakening your opponent's monsters. Although cards like Shadow Spell,
Dark Jeroid and Red Archery Girl are more powerful, they have a high Deck
Capacity and/or can be destroyed/stolen too easily.
*I advise having a lot of monster destruction cards in your deck to deal with
your opponent's monsters. Beckon to Darkness, Raigeki, Dark Hole, Crush Card,
Infinite Dismissal, Amazon Archer, Bear Trap, Invisible Wire, Acid Trap Hole,
Widespread Ruin, Torrential Tribute, Fiend's Hand, Beastking of the Swamps,
and Trap Master are examples of good monster destruction.
*If you want to gather enough monsters as tribute fodder to summon your strong
monsters, I suggest using the multiplying special abilities of Dorons, Toad
Masters, Ancient Lamps and Revival Jams to help summon them. Since your
opponents always have an unfair advantage in duels, this strategy is the best
way to defeat them. If you attach Equip Cards to the above monsters and
activate their abilities, the new monsters will be powered up as well. For
example, if you equip Megamorph to Doron and activate its ability, the new
Doron will be powered up too.
*If you want to activate the temporary effects of your Effect Monsters again,
I suggest playing Darkness Approaches. All your monsters will be switched
from face-up to face-down position, thus allowing you to use their effects
again. Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict are both exceptions, though,
since they adapt to a targeted monster's parameters permanently.
*If your opponent has strong monsters on the field, I suggest playing Swords of
Revealing Light or Messenger of Peace. The former Magic Card can prevent
your opponent's monsters from attacking for 3 turns. The latter Magic Card
can immobilize all monsters on your opponent's field with an ATK of 1,500 or
more in exchange for 1,000 Life Points after every turn.
*Try to have a lot of non-tribute monsters in your deck. Although 5-Star or
higher monsters are stronger, you are required to sacrifice monsters to summon
them. If you have loads of non-tribute monsters, you'll avoid getting an
opening hand with only tribute monsters. Therefore, you'll always be able to
summon a monster to defend your Life Points.
*If your opponent places Magic/Trap Cards on the field, I suggest playing
Harpie's Feather Duster to destroy them before he/she can activate them. The
Magic Card is very useful when you start progressing through the game, since
your opponents will start playing Magic/Trap Cards on the field as a backup
plan.
*If you want to increase your Duelist Level and Deck Capacity, I advise
challenging Tristan and Duel Computer (Novice Level). Although these duelists
only give 1 DC when you defeat them, they are the easiest opponents to beat in
this game. If you challenge them repeatedly, your DL will go up by one for
every three duels, so you'll eventually be able to use the cards needed to
defeat the hard duelists. As long as you have these cards, it isn't necessary
to use strong non-tribute monsters to complete the game.
*When you are progressing through the game, I advise saving after every duel
whenever you can. If you lose a rare Ante Card to someone, you can re-load
your last save to get it back. This game doesn't automatically save your
progress, so you must save to record it.
*If your opponent specialises in using certain monster types, you can use
specific monster destruction cards, such as Eternal Rest and Warrior
Elimination, to destroy them.
*Ritual Monsters are difficult to summon, since you must sacrifice the required
monsters to activate the particular Ritual Card. For example, Ultimate Dragon
Ritual requires you to sacrifice 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons to summon 1
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Although the majority of Ritual Monsters are
strong, it is much easier to summon strong Normal Monsters, since they don't
require you to sacrifice a specific monster to summon them.
*If your opponent uses Magic Cards to power his/her monsters, I suggest placing
a Reverse Trap on the field to counter their effects. If they are used, the
Trap Card will cut the ATK/DEF of the equipped monster.
*If your opponent uses attack spells like Sparks and Tremendous Fire, I suggest
placing a Goblin Fan on the field to counter their effects. If they are used,
the Trap Card will reflect a direct Life Point attack back at your opponent.
Goblin Fan also works against Effect Monsters, such as Reflect Bounder and
Exarion Universe, that inflict Life Point damage.
*Although attack spells, such as Sparks and Tremendous Fire, can inflict direct
Life Point damage on your opponent, the LP loss is actually meagre.
Restoration spells, such as Goblin's Secret Remedy and Dian Keto the Cure
Master, are much better. The latter Magic Cards can increase your Life Points
by up to 5,000 in contrast to the former Magic Cards that can only inflict up
to 1,000 direct LP damage on your opponent.
*If you want to immobilize your opponent's monsters, I suggest adding a
Nemuriko to your deck. The Effect Monster can make all monsters on the
opponent's field fall asleep for 1 turn.
*If you suspect that your opponent has a Trap Card face-down on the field, you
can attack with a weak monster to set it off. That way, your strong monsters
will be safe from its effect. Note that this strategy doesn't work against
Torrential Tribute, since the Trap Card can destroy all your monsters instead
of just one.
*Although the "Exodia Series" and Spirit Message cards can help you
automatically win a duel, you need to be lucky to draw them. In this game,
you can only draw more cards by playing Pot of Greed or activating the
special abilities of certain Effect Monsters, so it is difficult to get the
necessary cards. I advise not using these cards in duels, since there is no
guaranteed way to place them in your hand.
*If Different Dimension Dragon/Vampire Lord is in your Graveyard at the start
of your turn, the monster is resurrected to your side of the field. Although
you can discard it to make it appear on your field next turn, it is important
to note that you can only have 1 monster in your Graveyard at a time. If
another monster is sent there, the above monsters will disappear. Your
opponent may also use a Gravedigger Ghoul to remove them from the Graveyard.
In addition, they have a high Deck Capacity and can be stolen too easily. If
they are stolen, your opponent will get the resurrection effect, so watch
out.
*It can be advantageous to place a Jam Breeding Machine on the field. At the
start of your turn, it summons a Change Slime to your field. You can use the
monsters as tribute fodder in order to summon your strong ones. However, you
cannot summon any other monster when the Magic Card is on the field. I
suggest discarding Jam Breeding Machine the moment that you have the required
number of monsters, so you can summon your strong ones on your next turn.
*If you are putting a lot of the multiplying Aqua-Summon monsters in your deck,
I suggest adding a Lava Golem to it as well. If Lava Golem is in your hand,
it will appear on your opponent's field in exchange for sacrificing 2 of
his/her monsters. Although your opponent now controls the Effect Monster,
your Aqua-Summon monsters can destroy it via Summon advantage. This is a
good strategy to use if you want to get rid of your opponent's monsters more
quickly and easily.
*If your opponent's non-tribute monsters are stronger than yours, I suggest
adding a Mammoth Graveyard to your deck. The Effect Monster can power down
every monster on the opponent's field. Since you can have 3 copies of the
monster in your deck, I advise summoning 3 Mammoth Graveyards to decrease the
ATK of your opponent's monsters immensely. For example, if an enemy Vorse
Raider is on the field, 3 Mammoth Graveyards will decrease its ATK by 1500
points, bringing it down to 400.
*If you want to summon a strong monster directly to the field, I suggest adding
a Dark Flare Knight to your deck. Although the card is expensive at Grandpa's
Game Shop, it is worth it. If Dark Flare Knight is in your Graveyard, it will
summon a Mirage Knight to the field. Since Mirage Knight can split into a
Dark Magician and a Flame Swordsman, you'll soon have your field covered with
strong monsters. If you discard Dark Flare Knight to the Graveyard, Mirage
Knight will be summoned immediately, so you don't have to summon the Effect
Monster at all.
*If you have The Winged Dragon of Ra (Phoenix Mode) in your deck, you can use
the Egyptian God Card to easily win a duel. If Ra's Phoenix Mode is in your
Graveyard, it will summon its Battle Mode to the field. If you discard Ra's
Phoenix Mode to the Graveyard, its Battle Mode will be summoned immediately,
so you don't have to summon the Egyptian God Card at all.
*If you don't want to spend money purchasing a card at Grandpa's Game Shop,
check the Character Decks sections to see whether or not a character uses the
card in his/her duelling deck. If a character does use the card in his/her
deck, you may receive it if you ante a rare card in a duel. Note that you may
have the duel the character several times to obtain the card you want.
*Your Life Points aren't automatically restored after each duel in this game.
If you are challenging multiple duelists in a row, I advise restoring your
Life Points whenever you can. That way, you'll avoid facing your opponents
with low LP. If this isn't an option, try using restoration spells such as
Dian Keto the Cure Master and Goblin's Secret Remedy to maintain LP.
*If you don't have money, I advise challenging Yugi Muto repeatedly. His rare
Ante Cards, such as Monster Reborn and Spellbinding Circle, are worth a lot of
Domino. For example, Exodia the Forbidden One's selling price is 260 Domino.
You can sell Yugi's rare Ante Cards to receive some Domino. If you have
completed Chapter 6, Tristan will give you rare Ante Cards from that point in
the game, so I suggest challenging him instead, since he is an easy duelist.
Note that you can't sell a card when you only have one copy in your Trunk.
*When you are progressing through the game, Bosses and Misc. Duelists will
usually give you 3 Deck Capacity (although it may only be 1 DC on some
occasions), while Re-Match Duelists will give you 1 DC. This makes the game
very hard to complete, since the useful cards have a high Duelist Level.
Therefore, you must challenge duelists repeatedly for hours, days or even
weeks to get enough DC.
*Although you can receive money from duelists, they (especially the easy ones)
only give you small amounts of Domino. This makes cards hard to buy, as
the useful ones are very expensive. Even Bosses only pay out 400-2500 Domino,
so it's better to sell rare Ante Cards instead for cash. Aside from Bosses,
the richest duelists are Marik, Odion, Bonz, Weevil, Mako, Espa, Mai and Rex.
They each give you 800-1600 Domino, but they are hard to beat. The Chevaliers
each give 500-700 Domino and are easier opponents.
*If you can defeat Duel Computer (Standard Level), I advise challenging it
repeatedly. Like Yugi Muto, it has rare Ante Cards, such as Cosmo Queen and
Sengenjin, but their selling price is much higher. For example, Cosmo Queen's
selling price is 1982 Domino. Although DC (Expert Level) has rare Ante Cards,
such as Change of Heart and Torrential Tribute, their selling price is lower
than that of DC (Standard Level). For example, Change of Heart's selling
price is 992 Domino. Therefore, it's better to challenge DC (Standard Level)
instead for rare Ante Cards. Note that you can't sell a card when you only
have one copy in your Trunk.
*Prior to Chapter 3, I suggest adding 3 copies of Hourglass of Life to your
deck. The Effect Monster can power up all your monsters in exchange for 1,000
Life Points. Since enemy monsters are only slightly stronger than yours at
that point in the game, you can use Hourglass of Life's special ability to
make your monsters more powerful than theirs. When you begin Chapter 3, I
advise dumping Hourglass of Life, as its ability won't make your monsters
powerful enough to destroy stronger ones.
*Prior to Chapter 5, I suggest using the Baby Dragon/Time Wizard combo. The
latter can transform the former into a Thousand Dragon. This allows you to
summon Thousand Dragon without having to sacrifice two monsters first. When
you begin Chapter 5, I advise dumping Baby Dragon and Time Wizard, since
duelists will use Trap/Magic Cards and Summon advantage to destroy them
before you can summon Thousand Dragon.
*If you can play Link Duels, I advise challenging a friend repeatedly. When
you play a Link Duel, your Deck Capacity increases. You receive an increase
of 10 DC and 5 DC if you win and lose, respectively. This is much higher than
the increase you receive in the main game, so I advise dueling a friend
repeatedly to have an easier time getting DC.
*If a card isn't on sale in the Game Shop, you can input the card's password
into the Password Machine to obtain it. That card will then be available to
buy from the shop. Note that it costs 1000 Domino to use the machine.
*If your opponent's monster has the same ATK as your own monster, he/she will
always use it to attack yours, as the computerized opponents are programmed to
do this. Make sure that you have a few Trap/Magic Cards ready on the field to
stop the enemy monster.
*If your opponent constantly places his/her monsters in defence mode, it can
take a while to break through his/her defences and attack his/her Life Points.
I suggest placing a weak monster in defence mode. Your opponent will attack
the monster and his/her own monster will be left in attack position.
*If you want to summon 3 monsters in one turn, I suggest adding a Puppet Master
and a Gernia to your deck. When you have Gernia and Puppet Master in your
hand, summon the former and protect it until your next turn. Now Tribute
Summon Puppet Master with Gernia and pay 1,000 LP to Special Summon 3 Fiend-
Type monsters.
*If you want to replace your opponent's monsters with weak ones, I suggest
adding Parasite Paracide to your deck. It can latch onto a monster on the
opponent's field.
*If you want to use some strong non-God Card tribute monsters, I suggest
choosing a variety of one-tribute monster types that can take advantage of the
different terrains. Although two/three-tribute monsters are more powerful
(eg. Gilford the Lightning), it can be hard gathering enough monsters to
sacrifice. Peacock, Spirit of the Winds, Akihiron and Ansatsu are examples of
good value monsters at the start of the game, as they each have 1700 ATK and
25 Deck Capacity. Dark Magician Girl, The Earl of Demise, Monstrous Bird,
Garvas and Sea King Dragon are examples of good monsters later on, as they
each have 2000 ATK and 86 DC.
*Whilst Harpie's Feather Duster can destroy all your opponent's magic/traps,
it's a Limited Card, so you may need other trap destruction cards as an
alternative. Reaper of the Cards is a good value monster, as you can find out
whether the opponent has any traps on the field without attacking and, if so,
destroy 1 trap. This is useful for eliminating the most destructive trap,
Torrential Tribute. Although Jinzo is more powerful, it has a high Deck
Capacity and can be stolen too easily.
*Although Final Destiny and Heavy Storm can both destroy all cards from your
opponent's field and/or hand, it is important to note that these magic will do
the same to you as well. Therefore, they are risky cards to play, so you must
be cautious about their use.
*If you want to make your Aqua, Fish, Sea Serpent and Reptile types stronger, I
suggest adding a Nightmare Penguin to your deck. Nightmare Penguin can power
up the above types (including itself), combining rather well with Kairyu-Shin.
*When you are placing magic/traps on the field, try to only have 1-2 in your
magic/trap zone at a time. That way, if the opponent uses a Harpie's Feather
Duster, you won't lose a lot of cards.
*If you want to get around the Deck Capacity limitations, I suggest adding
cards with 0 DC to reduce the amount needed to construct a deck. Infinite
Dismissal, Puppet Master, Satellite Cannon and Jam Breeding Machine are
examples.
*I recommend Having a balanced ratio of monsters, spells and traps (eg.
20:10:10) to make planning strategies easier.
*Be prepared to lose a lot of duels. Your opponents will always summon
monsters that are stronger than yours. In addition, they will typically have
powerful Trap and Magic Cards at their disposal. It takes a lot of skill and
luck to defeat them. When I used the above hints and tips, it took me 1 month
to complete the game, so keep in mind that you'll need to spend a lot of time
playing this game if you want to finish it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Novice
----------------
When you first start this game, Novice is probably one of the only duelists
that you can beat easily. All of his cards have 500 ATK or less, so defeating
him should be a simple task. The only thing to watch out for is monsters that
can destroy yours due to Summon advantage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Tristan
-----------------
Tristan's deck contains mostly the same monsters as Novice, so this is
basically a repeat of that duel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Duke
--------------
Duke's non-tribute monsters have 1200 ATK or less. He will play Spellbinding
Circle to power down your monsters and use Equip Magic to make his stronger.
Darkness Approaches can ensure the activation of Hourglass of Life's ability 3
times to power up his monsters in exchange for 1,000 LP each time. The Statue
of Easter Island has a high DEF, so use Stop Defence to switch it to attack
mode. You'll then have a chance to attack it.

Strategy: Yugi
--------------
Yugi specialises in using Wind, Fiend, Forest, Earth and Dark-Summon
monsters. His non-tribute monsters have 1000 ATK or less. Yugi's strongest
non-tribute monsters are Exodia the Forbidden One and Mushroom Man. Save your
monster destruction cards until they are summoned. If you concentrate on
destroying them first, you can then use Hourglass of Life's special ability to
power up your monsters. The rest of Yugi's monsters have 1000 ATK or less, so
your monsters should be strong enough to take them out.
Yugi's strongest tribute monsters are Summoned Skull and Dark Magician. Make
sure you have your monster destruction cards ready in case he manages to summon
them. Beware of his Monster Reborn and Spellbinding Circle cards. Yugi can
use them to turn the tide in his favour, so watch out. He can also use his
Equip Magic to make his powerful monsters even stronger.

Dragon, Dancing Elf and Red-Eyes Black Dragon, all of Joey's monsters are

Warrior-Type monsters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Rebecca
-----------------
Rebecca specialises in using Fiend, Dark, Thunder, Water, Fire, Light, Wind and
Forest-Summon monsters. Since it's unpredictable to know which monsters
Rebecca will use first, you probably won't have the right monsters in your hand
to able to destroy them via Summon advantage. Her non-tribute monsters have
1400 ATK or less.
Rebecca's strongest monsters are Cannon Soldier and Witch of the Black Forest.
Save your monster destruction cards until they are summoned. If you
concentrate on destroying them first, you can then use Hourglass of Life's
special ability to power up your monsters. The rest of Rebecca's monsters have
1000 ATK or less, so your monsters should be strong enough to take them out.
The one monster to be wary of is Millennium Shield. It is Rebecca's strongest
defensive monster, and she only has to sacrifice 1 monster to summon it. Since
it has 0 ATK, I suggest using Stop Defense to switch it to attack mode, thus
allowing you to destroy it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Mokuba
----------------
Mokuba specialises in using Fiend, Dark, Light, Water and Forest-Summon
monsters. His non-tribute monsters have 1100 ATK or less. Mystic Lamp and
Leghul can both attack your Life Points directly, so watch out for them.
Skelengel allows Mokuba to draw 1 card from his deck. Monster Eye allows
Mokuba to look at the cards in your hand. If you have any Monster Cards in
your hand, they will be switched from face-down to face-up position, thus
preventing you from using their special abilities. Mokuba will play Darkness
Approaches to switch his Effect Monsters from face-up to face-down position, so
he can activate their special abilities once again. The one monster to be wary
of is Witch's Apprentice. It powers up Dark monsters and powers down Light
monsters on the field.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Roland
----------------
Roland specialises in using Fiend, Water, Thunder, Forest, Dark, Earth and
Wind-Summon monsters. He also has a few Divine monsters in his deck. His
non-tribute monsters have 900 ATK or less. He will use the multiplying special
abilities of Dorons to gather enough monsters to summon Black Luster Soldier,
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon or Master of Dragon Soldier, so I advice using
Thunder-Summon monsters to destroy them via Summon advantage. It would
be advantageous to place a Dragon Capture Jar on the field to stop the two
latter Divine monsters from attacking. Roland won't have a chance to summon
them if you can prevent him from ever having 3 monsters to sacrifice.

1x The Inexperienced Spy
1x Beckon to Darkness
1x Restructer Revolution
1x Stop Defence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Odion
---------------
Odion specialises in using Earth, Light and Water-Summon monsters. His
non-tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or less. He has based his deck on the theme
of Beatdown and Traps.
Since Odion has a lot of traps, summoning Jinzo to the field could give you an
advantage. Unfortunately, Odion's Earth-Summon monsters can destroy it. Your
best bet is to use Harpie's Feather Duster to destroy Odion's traps, but he
might play Final Destiny or Heavy Storm to destroy the Magic Card in your hand
or on the field, so watch out. His Dinosaur and Rock-Type monsters can take
advantage of the Wasteland Field.
Giant Rex and Embodiment of Apophis are Odion's strongest non-tribute monsters.
Fortunately, Wind-Summon monsters can destroy them. Anti-Raigeki and
Torrential Tribute can destroy all your monsters if you set them off, so be
ready. Dragon Capture Jar can stop Slifer the Sky Dragon from attacking. Save
a Harpie's Feather Duster in case Odion places the Trap Card on the field.
Odion has some tribute monsters in his deck, namely Talons of Shurilane, Tri-
Horned Dragon and Mystical Beast Serket. If Mystical Beast Serket targets a
monster, that monster is removed from play, and this card receives a 500 ATK
bonus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Marik
---------------
Marik specialises in using Dark, Water, Thunder, Earth, Dream and Fire-
Summon monsters. His non-tribute monsters have 1700 ATK or less. In
addition, a lot of them are Effect Monsters, which can use their special
abilities to destroy your duelling strategy. He has based his deck on the
theme of Beatdown and Card Removal.
If Newdoria is in Marik's Graveyard, it destroys one monster. Viser Des can
power down one monster if it's on the field. While Viser Des' ability doesn't
seem too bad, Marik can use it to weaken your monster indefinitely (permanently)
during each of his turns. As long as Marik has 1 or more copies of Viser Des on
the field, he can decrease the ATK/DEF of your monster by 500+ points each turn.
Therefore, your monster can be weakened immensely, making even Marik's weakest
monsters stronger than it. Fortunately, Exile of the Wicked can clear the field
of Newdoria and Viser Des. Watch out for them, since Marik has 3 copies of the
cards in his deck. Byser Shock can send your face-down cards back to your hand,
but Marik has to sacrifice 1 monster to summon it and he only has 1 copy of the
card.
Marik will use his Humanoid Slimes and Revival Jams as tribute fodder in order
to summon his strong tribute monsters. Fortunately, Thunder-Summon monsters
can destroy them. You can also play Stop Defense to switch Humanoid Slime to
attack mode, so you can easily destroy it.
Executor - Makyura and Darkfire Soldier are Marik's strongest non-tribute
monsters. Have a monster destruction card ready in case they are summoned.
Since Marik has a lot of annoying monsters and magic in his deck, he is one of
the hardest duelists in the game. At least the playing field is the Arena
type, so his monsters can't get a power bonus. Your best bet is to keep re-
trying until you get the right opening hand you need to take him down, i.e.
Slifer the Sky Dragon, Kuriboh, and Multiply. If Marik gets a bad opening
hand, winning should be easier.

Strategy: Bonz
--------------
Bonz' non-tribute monsters have 1600 ATK or less. He specialises in using
Fiend, Forest, Dream and Fire-Summon monsters. The majority of monsters in
Bonz' deck are Fiend monsters, so I suggest using Light monsters to destroy
them via Summon advantage. Most of Bonz' monsters are Zombie-Type. Eternal
Rest is perfect for clearing the field of them.
Bonz will use his Field Magic Card to change the playing field to Wasteland to
benefit his Zombie-Type monsters. Armored Zombie, Clown Zombie and Dragon
Zombie are Bonz' strongest 4-Star monsters, and they can take advantage of the
Wasteland Field. Fortunately, they are Fiend-Summon monsters, so your
Light-Summon monsters will be able to destroy them via Summon advantage. The
one monster to watch out for is Pumpking the King of Ghosts. It powers up
Armored Zombie, Clown Zombie and Dragon Zombie if they are on the field.

Strategy: Weevil
----------------
Weevil specialises in using Forest, Fire, Earth and Fiend-Summon monsters.
His non-tribute monsters have 1500 ATK or less. Since Weevil's monsters are
Insect-Type, they can take advantage of the Forest Field. Fortunately,
Eradicating Aerosol can clear the field of them, so I advise using the Magic
Card to get rid of Weevil's monsters.
The majority of Weevil's monsters are Forest-Summon, so I suggest using
Fire monsters to destroy them. Insect Queen powers itself up for every
Insect-Type monster on the field, so try to keep the number of monsters on
Weevil's side of the field low. Weevil has three methods of summoning his
Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth to the field. He'll sacrifice three monsters to
summon it, wait for Larvae Moth to evolve into it, or use Pinch Hopper's
special ability to summon it directly to the field. Weevil can use his
Eradicating Aerosol to destroy one of your monsters if Parasite Paracide has
latched onto it.

Strategy: Mako
--------------
Mako's non-tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or less and all of them can take
advantage of the Umi Field. Fortunately, most are Water-Summon, so you can
use Thunder-Summon monsters to destroy them. With the exception of
Kairy-Shin, all of Mako's monsters are Fish-Type. Therefore, you can use
Eternal Drought to clear the field of them.
Fortress Whale is the most powerful monster in Mako's deck since it is powered
up by the Umi Field. Thanks to the Umi Field, The Winged Dragon of Ra's ATK
is decreased to 2800, so be careful when using it in this duel. I advise
changing the playing field to benefit your own monsters.

Strategy: Espa
--------------
Espa's non-tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or less. Fortunately, most of them
can't take advantage of the Sogen Field. A lot are Machine-Type, so you can
use Stain Storm to destroy them or play Umi to power them down, but watch out
for his Warrior and Aqua-Types.
Reflect Bounder and Jinzo are the monsters to be wary of. The former can take
the ATK power of a monster on your field to cause LP loss in return for its own
life. This can result in you losing the duel if Espa targets Slifer the Sky
Dragon. On the plus side, if he chooses one of your weak monsters, Reflect
Bounder will be destroyed for meagre LP damage and you'll have one less monster
to worry about.
Espa can also use Brain Control to steal one of your monsters for one turn.
He'll probably sacrifice it to summon The Fiend Megacyber, or he'll probably
attack with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Mai
-------------
Mai has based her deck on the theme of Beatdown and Winged Beasts.
Unfortunately, there are no specific monster destruction cards that can clear
the field of WingedBeast-Types. Her non-tribute monsters have 1850 ATK or less
and most of them can take advantage of the Mountain Field. Fortunately, a lot
are Wind-Summon, so you can use Forest-Summon monsters to destroy them,
but watch out for Mai's Warrior-Types. Warrior Elimination can clear the field
of them, though. I advise changing the playing field to benefit your own
monsters.
Mai can power up her Harpie Lady cards by using Cyber Shield and Electro-Whip.
If that wasn't bad enough, her Harpie's Pet Dragon can be powered up by every
Harpie-related card on the field. Mai can use Amazon Archers to weaken Obelisk
and Ra so that her powered up Harpie's Pet Dragon can easily destroy them. She
can use Elegant Egotist to transform a Harpie Lady into Harpie Lady Sisters.
Spirit of the Books can summon a Boo Koo to the field, but Boo Koo is a weak
monster, so you should be able to destroy it easily.

Strategy: Rex
-------------
Rex's non-tribute monsters have 1600 ATK or less. He specialises in using
Earth, Wind and Fiend-Summon monsters. The majority of Rex's monsters are
either Dinosaur or Dragon-Type. I suggest placing a Dragon Capture Jar on the
field to prevent the dragons from attacking. Flame Swordsman's special ability
can destroy his dinosaurs. Rex only has a few Wind monsters in his deck, so
you could use Wind and Light monsters to destroy his Earth and Fiend monsters
Rex's Dinosaur-Type monsters can take advantage of the Wasteland Field, so I
advise changing the playing field to benefit your own monsters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Standard
------------------
Quite a change from the previous Duel Computer. Standard's non-tribute
monsters have 1500-2000 ATK. Battle Ox is the monster to be wary of. Although
it is inferior to Fire-Summons, its ability allows it to destroy all Fire
monsters on your field.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1x Harpie's Feather Duster
1x Final Destiny
1x Crush Card
1x Ultimate Dragon Ritual
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Expert
----------------
Expert has based his deck on the theme of Beatdown and ATK/DEF Reduction. With
the exception of Ancient Lamp, his non-tribute monsters have 1700-2000 ATK.
Most of them are Fiend or Spellcaster-Type, so you can use Exile of the Wicked
and Last Day of Witch to clear the field of them.
Castle of Dark Illusions is the monster to be wary of. It turns the playing
field into the Yami type and also turns all Expert's monsters face-down. With
the exception of Vorse Raider, all of his non-tribute monsters benefit from the
Yami Field and he can activate Ancient Lamp's ability indefinitely, so be
ready.
Shadow Spell and Amazon Archers can both power down your monsters. Since
Expert has 2 copies of the cards in his deck, he can decrease the ATK/DEF of Ra
and Obelisk immensely, making even his weakest monsters stronger than them.
Fortunately, Cursebreaker can negate the effects of Shadow Spell.
If you planning to use Slifer the Sky Dragon or Obelisk the Tormentor, try to
summon them before Expert plays Final Destiny. Watch out for the Change of
Heart/Brain Control combo as well.

1x Skull Knight
Traps:
------
1x Torrential Tribute
Magic:
------
1x Monster Reborn
1x Change of Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Shimon
----------------
With the exception of Keldo, Shimon's monsters all have 1600 ATK or more. He
specialises in using Fire, Earth, Forest, Water, Fiend, Light and Dark-
Summon monsters. Since it's unpredictable to know which monsters Shimon
will use first, you probably won't have the right monsters in your hand to
destroy them via Summon advantage.
Like the Millennium Guardians, Shimon has a few strong Divine-Summon
monsters. Shimon has 1 Torrential Tribute, 1 Change of Heart and 1 Monster
Reborn in his deck. If Shimon places 1 card face-down in his magic/trap zone,
it is probably his Trap Card. Shimon also has a strategy to counterattack
when you manage to summon your Egyptian God Cards to the field. He'll
activate Reflect Bounder's special ability to take the ATK power of your God
Card to cause Life Point damage. If Shimon targets Slifer the Sky Dragon,
you'll lose the duel instantly.

Monsters:
---------
3x Blue-Eyes White Dragon
1x Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon
1x Obelisk the Tormentor
3x Blade Knight
1x Invitation to a Dark Sleep
3x Vorse Raider
2x Des Feral Imp
3x X-Head Cannon
3x Y-Dragon Head

1x Ancient Lamp

1x Swordstalker
Magic:
------
2x Crush Card
1x Heavy Storm
2x Shadow Spell
3x Dark Energy
3x Megamorph
2x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Seto
--------------
With the exception of Invitation to a Dark Sleep, Lord of Dragons and Ancient
Lamp, Seto's monsters all have 1500 ATK or more. Blade Knight's ATK increases
by 400 points if Seto only has 1 or no cards in his hand. Invitation's special
ability can prevent your monsters, including the Egyptian God Cards, from
attacking for 1 turn. This card can help Seto stall for time until he can
summon Obelisk the Tormentor or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. He also has 2
Swords of Revealing Light cards in his deck, so even if you can summon your
Egyptian God Cards, you'll have to wait 3 turns to attack.
Beware of his X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank cards. If you
leave one of them on the field, Seto will have a chance to fuse the three cards
together. Fortunately, you can use Stain Storm to destroy them or play Umi to
power them down. Seto's strongest monsters are Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and
Obelisk the Tormentor. Seto won't have a chance to summon them if you can
prevent him from ever having 3 monsters to sacrifice. If he does summon
Obelisk, he'll power it up with his Megamorph cards. You can use your monster
destruction cards to get rid of Seto's Ultimate Dragon.
Ancient Lamp's special ability can provide enough monsters for Seto to
sacrifice, so be prepared. Crush Card, Heavy Storm and Shadow Spell can turn
the tide in his favour. Try to get Slifer the Sky Dragon onto the field, since
it's the only Egyptian God Card that is stronger than Seto's Ultimate Dragon.
Obelisk can destroy all your monsters and inflict 4000 LP worth of damage.
Fortunately, the ability has no effect on Ra.
Seto's XYZ monsters are strong even without being fused together. However, if
they are fused together, the XYZ fusion monster won't be able to attack for 1
turn. Also, since Seto fuses 2-3 XYZ monsters together to create the fusion
monster, it is summoned in face-up attack position and therefore can't activate
its ability. Use this opportunity to destroy the fusion monster with Beckon to
Darkness/Crush Card.

1x Malevolent Nuzzler
3x Yami
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: PaniK
---------------
Since you're playing in the dark, Panik's Fiend-Type monsters can take
advantage of the Yami Field. With the exception of Mystical Lamp and Monster
Eye, Panik's monsters have 500 ATK or more. He specialises in using Dark and
Fiend-Summon monsters. His Equip Magic can power up his monsters even more,
so have some Magic or Trap Cards ready to destroy them. I suggest using Dream
and Light monsters to destroy Panik's. Fiend's Hand can sent your strongest
monster to your Graveyard, so try to have at least 2 strong monsters on the
field at a time. Your best bet is to use tribute monsters that benefit from
the Yami Field, such as Spirit of the Winds and Doll of Demise, to have an
easier time beating him.

Strategy: PaniK
---------------
Panik specialises in using Dark, Fiend and Forest-Summon monsters. Half of
them are Fiend-Types, so they can take advantage of the Yami Field, but you can
use Exile of the Wicked to destroy them. Panik uses the same magic and traps
that the Chevaliers use. He will use his Dark Energy cards to power up his
fiends. If Panik has Castle of Dark Illusions and Reaper of the Cards are on
the field at the same time, he can activate Reaper's ability indefinitely, so
be ready.

Strategy: Puppeteer
-------------------
With the exception of Gate Deeg, Needle Ball and Phantom Dewan, the Puppeteer's
monsters have 900 ATK or more. His Fiend-Type monsters can take advantage of
the Yami Field. The Puppeteer specialises in using Fiend, Dark and Forest
monsters. Doll of Demise is his only Forest monster, so if you can destroy his
three copies of the Monster Card, you can then concentrate on using Light and
Dream monsters to destroy his Fiend and Dark monsters. Sacrifice your monsters
to summon your stronger ones to avoid setting off the Puppeteer's Eatgaboons
when you attack.

3x Power of Kaishin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Crump
---------------
Crump's non-tribute monsters have 1200 ATK or less. He specialises in using
Aqua and Thunder-Summon monsters, so I suggest using Thunder and
Earth monsters to destroy them. Crump will use his Field Magic Card to change
the playing field to Umi to benefit his own monsters.
Nightmare Penguin powers up his monsters (including itself), and he only has to
sacrifice 1 monster to summon it. Have a Beckon to Darkness ready to destroy
it. If Crump has changed the field to the Umi type, Nightmare Penguin will
become his strongest monster. He will use the multiplying abilities of Toad
Masters and Dorons as tribute fodder, so I advice taking them out with
Thunder-Summon monsters.

Strategy: Rare Hunter
---------------------
Aside from his powerful Defence Position monsters, Rare Hunter doesn't have any
useful cards in his deck. Use monster destruction cards to take the Defence
Position monsters out before attacking his Exodia cards and his Life Points.
Rare Hunter has no Trap Cards and only 1 Magic Card (Pot of Greed), so he
should be easier to defeat in comparison to the Neo Ghouls. If you spend too
long duelling him, he'll summon Exodia to win the match.

Strategy: Rare Hunter
---------------------
Rare Hunter's deck has improved slightly since your last encounter, but he
still has no Trap Cards and only 1 Magic Card (Pot of Greed). His monsters are
a bit stronger and some have special abilities that allow him to draw more
cards, but your monster destruction cards can destroy them.

Strategy: Strings
-----------------
Strings can use the multiplying special abilities of his Revival Jams as
tribute fodder, so I suggest using Thunder-Summon monsters to destroy them.
His non-tribute monsters have 1500 ATK or less. He specialises in using Water
and Earth monsters, so I suggest using Thunder and Wind monsters to destroy
them.

Strategy: Arkana
----------------
Arkana specialises in using Light and Dark-Summon monsters, so I advise using
Dark and Dream monsters to destroy them. All of Arkana's monsters can take
advantage of the Yami Field. His non-tribute monsters have 1500 ATK or less.
He has 1 Monster Reborn and 2 Beckon to Darkness cards, so be ready. He will
use his Equip Magic Cards to power up his monsters. Fairy's Gift can increase
Arkana's Life Points by 1000. His monsters are Fiend or Spellcaster-Type, so
you can use Exile of the Wicked and Last Day of Witch to clear the field of
them. Your best bet is to change the playing field to benefit your own
monsters or use tribute monsters that benefit from the Yami Field, such as Dark
Magician Girl and The Earl of Demise, to have easier time beating him.

1x Brain Control
1x Change of Heart
1x Monster Reborn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Keith
---------------
Keith starts with 8,000 Life Points, and the playing field is the Yami type.
With the exception of Seiyaryu, Zera the Mant, Whiptail Crow, Ryu-Kishin,
Ryu-Kishin Powered and Zoa, Keith's monsters are all Machine-Type. Stain Storm
is perfect for destroying his machines. His Fiend-Type monsters can take
advantage of the Yami Field. His non-tribute monsters have 1600 ATK or less.
I suggest summoning tribute monsters that can benefit from the field, such as
Dark Magician Girl and The Earl of Demise, to have an easier time destroying
them.
Keith has 1 Brain Control, 1 Change of Heart, 1 Monster Reborn and 1 Pot of
Greed card in his deck. He will use Brain Control/Change of Heart to use one
of your monsters as a sacrifice to summon Machine King. It powers up if there
are Machine-Type monsters on the field. If you can take it out, the rest of
his monsters should be easy to defeat with Dark Magician Girl/The Earl of
Demise. Keith will power up Slot Machine with his 7 Completed cards if he gets
an opportunity. Barrel Dragon's special ability can destroy up to 3 of your
monsters with a2-in-1 success rate.
If Keith sacrifices three monsters to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra, you'll
have an opportunity to take a large chunk out of his Life Points. In its
Sphere Mode, Ra has only 0 ATK/DEF so even your weakest monster will be able to
destroy it. Attack with Dark Magician Girl/The Earl of Demise to inflict 2600
LP of damage. Keith also has a Zera the Mant in his deck. If you're lucky, he
won't get a chance to summon it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Dark Mokuba
---------------------
Mokuba starts with 10,000 Life Points, and has strong 4-Star monsters in his
deck, most notably Darkfire Soldier #1, Dark Zebra, Witty Phantom,
Mechanicalchaser and Gemini Elf. He's got strong tribute monsters, such as
Yamata Dragon and Twin-Headed Dragon, in his deck. It would be advantageous to
place a Dragon Capture Jar on the field to prevent them from attacking.
Since Mokuba has a lot of Dragon-Type monsters in his deck, he will eventually
have no monsters to attack you with if you can destroy all of his non-tribute
monsters. If you can do this, the only thing you'll have to be ready for are
Mokuba's 3 Widespread Ruin, Gravedigger Ghoul and Swords of Revealing Light
cards.

1x Dragon Capture Jar
Magic:
------
3x Swords of Revealing Light
2x Tremendous Fire
3x Harpie's Feather Duster
2x Change of Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Sol
-------------
Sol's non-tribute monsters have 1600 ATK or less. In addition, Sol has 2
Change of Heart, 3 Harpie's Feather Duster, 3 Swords of Revealing Light, 1
Dragon Capture Jar, 1 Torrential Tribute, and 2 Tremendous Fire. If that
wasn't bad enough, he starts with 20,000 Life Points and has 2 Relinquished and
2 Thousand-Eyes Restrict in his deck.
Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict can both steal your own monsters. If
they target a monster (including a face-down one), that monster is removed from
play, and they receive its parameters. Unfortunately, you can't use Last Day
of Witch to destroy Relinquished and/or Thousand-Eyes Restrict, since Sol always
activates their abilities before you get a chance to do so. Fortunately, their
effects can only be used once. If you have no monsters on the field, Sol will
summon them in defence mode, so I suggest playing Stop Defence/Dark-Piercing
Light to switch the monsters from face-down to face-up position, thus
preventing him from using their abilities.
Red Archery Girl and Illusionist Faceless Mage can both stop your monsters from
attacking for 1 turn and/or power them down, so be ready. Fortunately, Sol
only has 1 copy of the latter monster in his deck and he must sacrifice 1
monster to summon it. Thunder-Summon monsters can destroy the former monster
via Summon advantage, while Last Day of Witch's can take out the latter
monster.
With the exception of Toon Mermaid, Red Archery Girl, Toon Alligator, Jigen
Bakudan, Dark Rabbit and Dragon Piper, Sol's non-tribute monsters are all
Spellcaster-Type. If you can take out the above monsters first, you can use
Last Day of Witch's effect to destroy the remaining ones.
Half of Sol's tribute monsters are Dragon-Type, so I advice placing a Dragon
Capture Jar on the field to stop them from attacking. Toon Summoned Skull is
his strongest monster, since it can take advantage of the Yami Field. He only
has to sacrifice 1 monster to summon it, so have a monster destruction card
ready to destroy it.
Slifer the Sky Dragon is the most useful Egyptian God Card for this duel, since
it can decrease Sol's Life Points easily. Just watch out for Dragon Capture
Jar, since it can stop Slifer from attacking. Use Harpie's Feather Duster to
destroy it. For beating this Boss, you receive 1 DC (!) and 2000 Domino.

2x Harpie's Feather Duster
1x Monster Reborn
2x Megamorph
1x Raigeki
3x Change of Heart
1x Tremendous Fire
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Reshef
----------------
Reshef starts with 40,000 Life Points, and his non-tribute monsters have 1850
ATK or more. Your only hope is to somehow summon your Egyptian God Cards.
Unfortunately, Reshef has somehow obtained his own God Cards, so you must
prevent him from sacrificing three monsters to summon them. Reshef will
usually play three Swords of Revealing Light to give himself enough turns to
sacrifice three monsters. He can also steal your own monsters with his 3
Change of Heart cards.
The Winged Dragon of Ra is the one God Card you should watch out for. In its
Battle Mode, it can cut Reshef's LP to 1 and hit you with the LP amount he has
lost, so you will lose the duel in a flash. If Reshef manages to summon
Obelisk the Tormentor and Castle of Dark Illusions at the same time, he'll
activate Obelisk's ability first and then he'll wait until his next turn to
activate it again when his Castle of Dark Illusions switches all of his cards
to face-down position. This combo can easily turn the tide in his favour since
you lose 4000 LP each time Obelisk's ability is activated. If Reshef's LP is
low and he summons Slifer the Sky Dragon, you can use Reflect Bounder to target
Slifer to win the duel instantly.
Messenger of Peace can protect your monsters and can also prevent Reshef from
sacrificing his monsters to summon his Egyptian God Cards. Use Dian Keto the
Cure Master to restore your Life Points as you must pay 1,000 Life Points to
keep Messenger of Peace on the field. Since your deck contains monsters, such
as Doron and Toad Master, they won't be affected by Messenger of Peace and
you'll be able to sacrifice them to summon your Egyptian God Cards on your next
turn. When you manage to summon your God Card, I advise discarding Messenger
of Peace from the field immediately to protect yourself from losing any more
Life Points.
With the exception of Mechanicalchaser, Vorse Raider and King of Yamimakai,
Reshef only has 4-Star Dark-Summon monsters. With the exception of Zombyra
the Dark, Mechanicalchaser and Vorse Raider, Reshef's monsters are all Fiend-
Type, so they can take advantage of the Yami Field. Fortunately, Reshef's
fiends are vulnerable to Exile of the Wicked's effect, so if you can use the
Magic Card to clear the field of all his monsters, Reshef will eventually run
out of monsters to summon. This can prevent him from summoning his three
Egyptian God Cards. Speaking of which, Reshef does not have The Winged Dragon
of Ra (Phoenix Mode) in his deck. He only has Ra's Battle Mode card. For
beating the Final Boss, you receive 3 DC (!) and 2500 Domino.

3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Pegasus
-----------------
Pegasus has based his deck on the theme of Monster Control and High Defence.
If he is unable to steal your monsters with his Change of Heart, Relinquished
and Thousand-Eyes Restrict cards, he will sacrifice the latter Divine monsters
to summon his strong tribute ones. In addition, Pegasus can protect his Life
Points with the defensive Big Shield Gardna and Castle of Dark Illusions.
Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict can both steal your own monsters. If
they target a monster (including a face-down one), that monster is removed from
play, and they receive its parameters. Unfortunately, you can't use Last Day
of Witch destroy Relinquished and/or Thousand-Eyes Restrict, since Sol always
activates their abilities before you get a chance to do so. Fortunately, their
effects can only be used once. If you have no monsters on the field, Sol will
summon them in defence mode, so I suggest playing Stop Defence/Dark-Piercing
Light to switch the monsters from face-down to face-up position, thus
preventing him from using their abilities.
Since Pegasus' deck is based on stealing monsters, you can trick him into
taking ones that are vulnerable to specific monster destruction cards. For
example, if you let him steal Fiend-Type monsters (preferably weak ones), you
can use Exile of the Wicked to destroy them. As an added bonus, this card will
also remove Castle of Dark Illusions and/or Toon Summoned Skull from the field.
If Pegasus doesn't have any monster control cards in his hand, he'll summon
Big Shield Gardna and Castle of Dark Illusions to protect his Life Points. The
latter monster can change the playing field to the Yami type and switch all of
Pegasus' monsters to face-down position. If Pegasus steals any Effect Monsters
from you, he'll use their special abilities against you, so watch out.

3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Seto
--------------
Seto has nearly the same monsters in his deck as before. His non-tribute
monsters have 1500-1900 ATK, with the exception of Ancient Lamp and Lord of
Dragons. Although the former and latter have only 900-1200 ATK, they can take
advantage of the Yami Field. In addition, Ancient Lamp can summon a La Jinn
the Mystical Genie of the Lamp, which has 1800 ATK and benefits from the field.
With the exception of Obelisk the Tormentor, Seto's tribute monsters are all
Dragon-Type. Therefore, you can use a Dragon Capture Jar to stop the dragons
from attacking. This can immobilize Des Volstgalph and prevent it from
destroying your strongest monster and inflicting 500 LP worth of damage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monsters:
---------
3x Gearfried the Iron Knight

3x Megamorph
3x Change of Heart
3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Dark Joey
-------------------
Joey's non-tribute monsters have 1800 ATK or more. Most of them are
Dark-Summon, so I suggest using Dream-Summon monsters to destroy them via
Summon advantage. Alternatively, you can use Warrior Elimination to clear the
field of them, since they are Warrior-Type.
Gilford the Lightning and Jinzo are the monsters to be aware of. The former
destroys all your monsters (excluding your Egyptian God Cards), while the
latter does the same to your traps, so be prepared.
Exarion Universe has the power to inflict LP loss identical to its ATK.
Zombyra the Dark can destroy one monster on your field. On the plus side, both
monsters power down afterwards.
B. Skull Dragon has 3200 ATK and is Joey's strongest tribute monster.
Fortunately, he must sacrifice 3 monsters in order to summon it. He rarely
plays it, as he prefers to summon one/two-tribute monsters.

6.04 - Yami Bakura
===============================================================================
Monsters:
---------
3x Headless Knight

1x The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams
3x Flash Assailant

3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Yami Bakura
---------------------
One half of Bakura's non-tribute monsters have 2000 ATK and most of them can
take advantage of the Yami Field. The other half have 1200-1450 ATK or 2000
DEF and all of them benefit from the field. His 4-Star 2000 ATK monsters are
all Dark-Summon, so I suggest using Dream monsters to destroy them.
Alternatively, you can use Exile of the Wicked to clear the field of them, with
the exception of Dark Elf.
Watch out for Dark Necrofear, as Bakura can power it up with his 3 Megamorph
cards. This can make his monster's DEF Points greater than your monster's ATK
Points. Dark Necrofear can steal one of your monsters (excluding your Egyptian
God Cards). Fortunately, Bakura has to sacrifice 2 monsters in order to summon
it.
If destroying Bakura's strong monsters wasn't bad enough, you also have to
contend with his Destiny Board card. It adds a letter at the start of his
turn. Victory is automatic if the "FINAL" message is completed. If Bakura
manages to play Destiny Board, try to avoid setting off his other traps. That
way, he won't be able to play all the letters and his magic/trap zone will be
used up.

3x Megamorph
3x Change of Heart
3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Yami Yugi
-------------------
With the exception of Big Shield Gardna, Yami's non-tribute monsters have 1500
ATK or more. Flash Assailant and Dark Elf can take advantage of the Yami
Field. He specialises in using Light, Dark and Earth-Summon monsters.
Since the defensive Big Shield Gardna is the only Earth monster Yami has, you
could use Dark and Dream monsters to destroy his others.
Jack's Knight, King's Knight and Queen's Knight are the trio of monsters to be
aware of. If you have watched the anime, you'll know that Yami usually uses
the above monsters as tribute fodder in order to summon his Egyptian God Card,
Slifer the Sky Dragon. Queen's Knight is the weakest of the three Knights, so
concentrate on destroying her first to prevent Yami from getting Jack's Knight
onto the field.
If Yami manages to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon to the field, you'll have a
hard time taking it down. Fortunately, Dragon Capture Jar can stop from
attacking as long as the Trap Card remains on the field. If you can do this,
you can next try to summon Obelisk the Tormentor or The Winged Dragon of Ra
(Phoenix Mode) and use their special abilities to destroy the powerful Egyptian
God Card once and for all. If you have Monster Reborn in your hand, you can
use to bring back Slifer under your control.
With the exception of Dark Flare Knight, Mirage Knight, Dark Magician Knight
and Slifer the Sky Dragon, all of Yami's tribute monsters receive a power bonus
from the Yami Field. Warrior Elimination can clear the field of Yami's
Warrior-Type monsters, most notably Dark Flare Knight and Mirage Knight, but
his Spellcaster-Type monsters can be harder to get rid of. Fortunately, they
are vulnerable to Last Day of Witch's effect.
Dark Magician Girl and Dark Paladin can both power up, depending on the
monsters on the field and in the Graveyard. In addition, Yami can use Dark
Paladin's ability to destroy a magic on your field by discarding the far left
card in his hand. Fortunately, Yami rarely plays this Effect Monster, since he
prefers to summon his signature Spellcaster-Type monsters.
Dark Flare Knight and Mirage Knight can summon monsters to the field thanks to
their special abilities. The former can summon a Mirage Knight when it is sent
to the Graveyard, while the latter can split into a Dark Magician and a Flame
Swordsman. If Yami holds 5 cards and has Dark Flare Knight in his hand, he
might discard it, so watch out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Yami Marik
--------------------
Marik has focused his deck on the theme of Card Removal and ATK/DEF Reduction.
With the exception of Viser Des, his non-tribute monsters have 1200-1800 ATK
and most of them can take advantage of the Yami Field. I advise changing the
playing field to benefit your own monsters. Since a lot of his monsters are
Fiend-Type, you can use Exile of the Wicked to destroy them.
Although he has the Winged Dragon of Ra's Phoenix Mode in his deck, Marik
always sacrifices three monsters to summon it and never discards it from his
hand. In its Phoenix Mode, Ra can destroy all your monsters in exchange for
1,000 Life Points, so it would be advantageous to prevent Marik from summoning
it. If Marik does manage to summon his Egyptian God Card, I suggest playing
Umi to weaken Ra. If it is sent to the Graveyard, its Battle Mode will be
summoned.
If you have two monsters on the field, they might be sacrificed to summon
Marik's Lava Golem on your side of the field. Although you now control this
monster, Marik can easily get it back by using Change of Heart. In addition,
Dark Jeriod can destroy it via Summon advantage. I advise discarding or
sacrificing it, since you lose 700 Life Points after every turn.
Marik's effect monsters - Newdoria, Dark Jeriod, Viser Des, Helpoemer and Byser
Shock - can turn the tide in his favour. Like Viser Des, Dark Jeroid can power
down one monster, except that it can't decrease the ATK/DEF of your monster
indefinitely (permanently) each turn. It does have a high enough ATK to be
able to destroy most non-tribute monsters, though. Try to summon Mammoth
Graveyard to even things out. If Helpoemer is in his Graveyard, its special
ability will activate. It forces you to discard 1 card if you have 3 or more
cards in your hand. I advise using Gravedigger Ghoul to remove Helpoemer from
the Graveyard. If Marik holds 5 cards and has Helpoemer in his hand, he might
discard it, so be ready.

6.07 - Noah
===============================================================================
Monsters:
---------
3x Chiron the Mage
3x Giant Rex
3x Asura Priest
1x F.G.D.
1x Nightmare Penguin
3x Aeris
1x Berserk Dragon
1x Yamata Dragon
1x Perfect Machine King
1x Shinato, King of a Higher Plane
Traps:
------
3x Torrential Tribute
1x Anti-Raigeki
Magic:
------
3x Megamorph
3x Change of Heart
3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Noah
--------------
Noah has based his deck on the theme of Beatdown. Fortunately, the Yami Field
will power down his Fairy-Types. His non-tribute monsters have 1700-2000 ATK.
Most of them are Earth-Summon, so I suggest using Wind monsters to destroy
them.
Giant Rex and Chiron the Mage are Noah's strongest non-tribute monsters, since
they aren't affected by the Yami Field. The latter monster can destroy your
strongest monster, so watch out. Save your monster destruction cards until
they are summoned.
Noah has a variety of tribute monsters. Berserk Dragon can attack all your
monsters once, but it powers down at the start of your next turn. If you stall
for time, this monster will finish itself off eventually. FGD can destroy
every card on your field. Noah won't get a chance to summon it if you can
prevent him from sacrificing three monsters. Have a monster destruction card
ready in case he does summon it.
Nightmare Penguin and Perfect Machine King can both power up, depending on the
monsters on the field. The former powers up the aqua, fish, Sea Serpent, and
reptile types (including itself) on Noah's field, but since he doesn't have the
above monster types in his deck, Nightmare Penguin is weaker than his other
tribute monsters. Perfect Machine King powers up two levels for every
Machine-Type monster on the field, so avoid having The Winged Dragon of Ra
(Battle Mode) face off against it. Your Water-Summon monsters can destroy it.

6.08 - Shadi
===============================================================================
Monsters:
---------
3x Dark Elf
1x Sengenjin
3x Flash Assailant
3x Gemini Elf
3x Cosmo Queen
3x Magician of Black Chaos
3x Boar Soldier
1x Bracchio-radius
1x Firewing Pegasus
1x Crimson Sunbird
Traps:
------
3x Torrential Tribute
1x Anti-Raigeki
Magic:
------
3x Megamorph
3x Change of Heart
3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Shadi
---------------
Shadi has focused his deck completely on the Beatdown theme. All of his
non-tribute monsters have 2000 ATK and most of them can take advantage of the
Yami Field. Half of them are Spellcaster-Type, so I advise using Last Day of
Witch to destroy them. Half of Shadi's tribute monsters are Divine-Summon.
Fortunately, Cosmo Queen and Magician of Black Chaos are vulnerable to Last
Day of Witch's effect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
===============================================================================
6.09 - Shimon Muran
===============================================================================
Monsters:
---------
3x Boar Soldier
1x Cyber-Tech Alligator
3x Gemini Elf
1x Aqua Dragon
3x Dark Elf
1x Tri-Horned Dragon
3x Flash Assailant
3x Black Luster Soldier
3x Zera the Mant
1x Machine King
Traps:
------
3x Torrential Tribute
1x Anti-Raigeki
Magic:
------
3x Megamorph
3x Change of Heart
3x Harpie's Feather Duster
3x Monster Reborn
3x Pot of Greed
3x Swords of Revealing Light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Shimon
----------------
Like Shadi, Shimon has based his deck on Beatdown. He uses the same non-
tribute monsters, but his tribute ones are completely different. Most of them
are still Divine-Summon, though. Machine King and Cyber-Tech Alligator are
the tribute monsters to be wary of, since they are strong and require only 1
sacrifice to be summoned. Fortunately, you can use Stain Storm to destroy them
or play Umi to power them down.

Strategy: Monkeys
-----------------
The monkeys' non-tribute monsters have 1200 ATK or less. The monkeys'
BeastWarrior-Type and Warrior-Type monsters can take advantage of the Forest
Field, so I advise changing the playing field to benefit your own monsters.
Nearly half of their monsters are Machine-Type, so you can use Stain Storm to
destroy them or play Umi to power them down. Although the monkeys have the
same monsters, they use different Magic/Trap Cards. Monkeys #1 and #3 use
monster destruction cards, such as Raigeki and Final Destiny. Monkey #2 uses
attack spells, such as Final Flame and Tremendous Fire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Guardian
------------------
The Guardian's monsters have 700 ATK or more. He specialises in using
Dream and Light monsters. I suggest using Fiend and Dark monsters to destroy
them. Goddess of Whim's special ability allows him to draw 1 card from his
deck, and his Eatgaboon Trap Cards can destroy a monster if its ATK is 1000
or less. Watch out for the Guardian's Hourglass of Life. In exchange for 1000
Life Points, it can power up his monsters.

The Guardian's non-tribute monsters have 1000 ATK or less. His monsters are
Fiend-Type or Spellcaster-Type. Exile of the Wicked is perfect for clearing
the field of the Guardian's fiends. His Spellcaster-Type monsters have 900
ATK or less. Last Day of Witch's effect is perfect for destroying them.

Magic:

3x Mountain
3x Restructer Revolution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strategy: Guardians
-------------------
The Guardians start with 3,000 Life Points, so I advise using Restructer
Revolution to help win these duels quicker. Their monsters have 1500 ATK or
more. They will use their Field Magic Cards to change the playing field to
benefit their own monsters.
The Guardians also have a few strong Divine-Summonmonsters in their decks.
If you're lucky, they won't get a chance to summon them. They have no Trap
Cards in their decks, but they do have 3 Restructer Revolution cards. Try to
decrease their Life Points to 0 as quickly as possible to avoid losing Life
Points due to the Magic Card's effect. They will also use the Kuriboh/Multiply
combo to gather enough monsters to summon their stronger ones, so I advise
using Exile of the Wicked to destroy them. In addition, they will place Equip
Magic Cards, such as Legendary Sword, face-down in the Magic/Trap Zone, but
they rarely have the correct monsters on the field to equip them to, thus
preventing them from powering up their monsters.

Strategy: Chevaliers
--------------------
Each Chevalier starts with 10,000 Life Points, and you must duel three of them
in a row. Their monsters have 1200 ATK or more. They will use their Field
Magic Cards to change the playing field to benefit their own monsters. Their
Magic Cards can increase their Life Points and decrease yours. If you can
prevent them from sacrificing their monsters to summon stronger ones, you'll
have an easier time beating them.
