It’s a tad complicated, but essentially two monster cards with the Pendulum ability can be placed in specific zones to summon more with a certain value between numbers printed on the left and right side of their card text. The signature style lets a player possibly summon several monsters depending on how they have arranged their board. Like past content updates, these characters will likely need to be unlocked through their respective missions and Legendary Duelist encounter.Ĭards, archetypes and skills based on ARC-V’s run will also make its way into the game, with Pendulum Summoning likely being the most exciting item on the list.
This fourth spin-off from the original run first aired in 2014 and brought several new ideas and concepts to both the show and the card game at the center, largely to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the franchise. The characters migrating over from the ARC-V anime series include protagonist Yuya Sakaki, Zuzu Boyle, Gong Strong and Sylvio Sawatari.
This keeps matches short and manageable without sacrificing the complex and heady strategy the title is known for. Duel Links, which is available on PC, Mac and mobile devices, limits the number of cards in each duelist’s deck, their Life Point Total and the size of the monster and trap zones on the game board. The fresh batch of additions is the latest update for the popular client, which allows players to match up with each other for a slightly truncated version of the standard Yi-Gi-Oh! TCG format.
Digital card game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links has announced characters, cards and mechanics from the ARC-V series will arrive on September 28th, altering online competitive matches with the rule-bending Pendulum Summons and bringing some coinciding log-in bonuses of cards and other currencies, to boot.
