So I've been bit by the Yu-Gi-Oh nostalgia bug lately and recently started playing this to get it out of my system. Enjoying it so far! 3 questions though.

  1. How many stages of the single player are there and how long does it take to finish? I'm at 14 in Duel Monsters and 7 in GT.
  2. What are the best booster packs?
  3. I chose Kaiba. How long till I unlock Yugi?

- There's 50 stages IIRC
- This is subjective. Most boosters have a staple card like Floodgate Trap Hole, Mirror Wall, etc, but it's largely going to depend on what kind of deck you're looking to build. Be aware that some boxes are larger than others (80 packs vs 150), so depending on luck you may be opening packs more than you might want to
- Yami Yugi's unlock missions become available at Level 15, so you're basically there!

1) haven't finished myself but I believe 60 in DM and 30 in GT
2) depends on the deck you're trying to make (the two new ones are probably the best though)
3) level 15 iirc.

Superb Tea is here with some great Fairy cards. Seems like we can use Elements Unite from the Paradox Bros. to farm her.

Yep, elements unite works like a charm as long as you pack something like spiritualism to get rid of sanctuary so that she can't use her negating trap.

It works even if you let her negate your cards. Spells. She has 3 spell negations, 5 if you count two Harvest Angel recycles. You can easily let her negate five of your spells and then you're set for, say, triple Union Attack + Secret Pass.

Are there any monsters besides Sonic Bird and Senju of The Thousand Hands that supports Ritual monsters?

Gishki Chain can add Ritual Spells and Monsters from the Deck, but it is limited to the top 3 cards from your Deck on Normal Summon. Sphere Kuriboh is great, being a +1 level for the Ritual Summon that you can Banish from the Grave as a Tribute, plus being a hand trap is great too. The Djinns (Disserere and Prognosticator) can also be banished from the Grave to add +1 and +3 levels for a Summon, and also add good effects to the Ritual monster they were used for.

Oh, and Ritual Raven can serve as the whole Tribute for a DARK Ritual monster.

Cyber Angel Dakini and Relinquished are my top ritual monsters.

They're easily the best Rituals available, especially since they require no previous setup or further support to do their thing and can change the tide of the game by themselves.
But I love the Gishki archetype, and I've been trying to make BLS work for quite a while.

---

I've been farming Téa, I've gotten 2 Meltiel, 2 Zeradias, 1 Harvest Angel and 1 Divine Punishment so far, not counting the guaranteed copies. So the only thing that I really need is two more Divine Punishment. Also, if my theory of 1 card from the SR and UR drop pool has a higher than the others chance of dropping is correct, I think (and hope) mine is Radiant Jeral.

I doubt the Cerberus deck would work on Superb Tea, right?

25 duels so far and only 2 rainbow packs. Prolly need to use a lot of orbs with this kind of luck. -_- I want the triple Divine Punishment. Luckily more than 800 orbs left since I never use em lol.

I don't know. I'm using Elements Unite with Vassal, but in theory it should work if you get Cerberus to a high enough ATK before she summons Meltiel. She doesn't have a way of dealing with strong monsters other than Meltiel and a Counter Trap + Sanctuary in the Sky, and if you get a high ATK monster, she will set three monsters. After that, she has three Spell negations (2 Divine Punishment and 1 Magic Jammer), so you can let her negate three of your not-as-important spells and use the rest for the OTK.

Anybody have good strategies for getting quick victories? It seems to always take me just one turn too many. I'm also struggling with getting the victories with 1000 or less LP. I either dominate my opponent, or they wipe me out because I'm letting them damage me to get my LP's down.

If you're trying to complete missions, you can duel Lv10 Legendary Duelists at the Gate to complete them. It will be easier to complete the 1000 LP or less.
For the quick victories, check the Karate Man OTK deck. In short, you use Karate Man, a card that allows Karate Man to attack twice (Like Twin Swords of Flashing Light) and Secret Pass to Treasures to allow him to attack directly. Since it can make its ATK 2000 during the Battle Phase, you can use it with Secret Pass. Make Karate Man the only monster in your Deck and use either Draw Sense: Low Level or the Reinforcements Skill to add it quickly, and add a lot of Draw cards so you can draw all pieces quickly.

Yeah, that's what I did for the early ones in GX. But I'm trying to unlock Little Yugi and there are two challenge where I have to beat level 30 Joey and Big Yugi with Big Yugi and Kaiba respectively. I've come close, but I'm either a few life points too high from 1000, or I hit the target and then they do something that wipes me out. I'm going to try and find some cards that drain my life points so I can stop having to let my opponents beat me up haha. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah the drop rates for this event are horrible, I'm getting 9k+ and I still only have 1 divine punishment, I'm going to be so upset if i can't get 3.

I got a bunch of SR and UR tickets from some event and I don't know which cards I should use them on. What are the best cards to get with those tickets for someone starting out? I already used one to get a second Enemy Controller since that seems to be used in a lot of decks. Any other big recommendations?

Union Attack is a must for farming cards.

Lucky you. I haven't gotten my third and I have gotten 6 Meltiel!
I think the only worthwhile counter is Divine Wrath. Both 7 Tools and Magic Jammer may be nice, but I think triple Divine Punishment is good enough for everything.

Yeah, drop rates for divine punishment are bad, I got 8 zeradias and 6 of everything else before getting 3.

3 divine punishment are good enough but I'd love to have 1 or 2 divine wraths.

I'm also considering Ultimate Providence, since it could be more versatile, but depends on card ratios.
