Now that we have the dates for yugioh
Just thought I'd share my jumbo of thoughts on the cards in relationship with yugi
Yugi needs at least a total of 20 skill boosts (achieved through SB, assist, delay or haste), 3 additional skill bind resist, cloud resist, tape resist and awoken bind removal
You can pretty much get everything from this one machine even if there are other better options
SSS tier:
Yami Bakura
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5796
The star of the collab imo
Just an absolute monster when it comes to damage and ease
Using himself as a weapon assist, he has a personal atk of 100x from a single blob+poison match
But normally a single dark row+poison is enough for him to destroy almost anything
And he has a crazy short 5 turn CD board changer on top of that
You will want multiples of him
At least two(1 as the assist)
3 is good(1 as assist)
Some yugi+faska pairing takes 4
SS tier:
Yugi http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5780
Bringing 4x/400x/4x as a lead is not what makes him so brokenly OP
Comes with auto follow up attack
V
oids poison damage permanently
Has a short CD skill that makes orbs, voids damage absorb for two turns, and +2 combo for two turns
Besides being a good dps himself
Gets to use the best DPS in the game, Bakura, that comes with full blind resist
Pairs with the upcoming Nere/Faska for 7x6 board and shield
1st floor preemptives can really screw him up though
Weapn assist: Perfect weapon for yugi team that addresses three of his needs
A tier:
winged dragon
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5810
An essential sub for most yugi setups
Factoring her haste, she basically brings in 6 skill boosts
Transforms into a decent utility sub
You will probably need 2 of her but the more the merrier imo
Dark magician
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5798
A 7 skill boosts sub if you add 3 turn delays to his 4 skill boosts
The double vdp double 7c version is a really good dps alternate, if you can't get Bakura
Personally, I didn't love using him because he felt pretty useless after using his delay skill on the first turn
Weapon assist: Good if you don't have other SB assist. Also a good inherit for diaochan
Seto
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5784
Auto follow up attack solution for water that pairs with Minaka
Not as highly ranked as the likes of haomaru because his shield is HP based
Weapon assist: One of the best SB assist. Top 3 even
Tea
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5790
Good for team Yugi x Faska
Huge boost to team rcv and provides 4 skill boosts
Weapon assist - great cloud resist option with bonus SBR
B tier:
Yami
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5787
Good assist I guess but I find tea Gardner version of cloud resist to be more useful
Dark magician girl
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=5803
Assist provides 1 much needed SBR. Good to slap on winged dragon
—————————————————————————
Non collab subs and assists
Diaochan - devil with 4 skill boosts. Removes awoken bind and -time extend. Great base for monster delay skills or bind/awoken bind removal skill.
Rikiuu assist - 1 skill boost and 1 skill bind resist
Kouryu assist - 1 skill boost and 1 cloud resist. Seems to be the most popular one right now
Shiki - 1 skill boost and l-lock
