The YuGiOh Master Duel solo mode allows for players progress through a series of duels and scenarios to practice the game's mechanics, test out your deck strategies, and earn rewards. YuGiOh can be hard to understand fully, so the solo mode gives players a chance to really get to grips before jumping into the competitive online landscape. Read on for our full breakdown of the YuGiOh solo mode, and all the rewards you can earn. 

YuGiOh Master Duel Solo Mode Explained

The YuGiOh Master Duel solo mode is a place where players can learn about the game's mechanics and strategy by completing mini-campaigns called gates. The first of the gates is the tutorial, which introduces you to the gameplay of Master Duel through some practice battles. There are further three that unlock after, called Duel Strategy, The Absolute Monarch, and The Warriors of the Six Elemental Lords. All of these are unlocked by default, but future gates will require unlocking with different types of orbs that can be gained as you progress in solo mode. There are also a tonne more gates that unlock once you clear the preceeding gates.

As each gate is designed to teach you something about the game, it's important to play them if you aren't 100% familiar with YuGiOh and its mechanics, but even long-time players should do so for practice and to gain the rewards. The gates consist of duels and practice matches, and completing each one lets you reach an end goal for a special reward. There are also some locked paths in the gates which require ORBs to unlock.

 

The Duel Strategy gate teaches players the basics of special summoning, along with providing some tips for building decks. The Absolute Monarch introduces players to the Monarch deck, and Emperor spell and trap cards that are used for powerful tribute summoning. Lastly, The Warriors of the Six Elemental Lords lets you learn about the Elementsaber deck which can change how cards function in the Graveyard, and how to summon Elemental Lord cards to the field. We recommend playing a few before going into online ranked duels.

The other gates that are unlocked in solo mode are locked until you clear the one directly before it, so many cannot be accessed unless you put a lot of time into the game.

That's all for the breakdown of the current YuGiOh Master Duel solo mode, and now you should know what solo mode is for and what rewards you can get. We'll update this guide as more solo mode gates are added to the game.
