Frequently asked questions

No. Gold, quests, the daily gift, free packs and the free pass track give cards and rewards without spending money. What is bought with money (gems, premium pass, cosmetics, characters, Supporter Seal) is optional. See Currencies and where to earn them.

The Daily Offering (every 24 h, stores up to 2), 3 welcome packs, quests (3 a day), the Daily gift and the free pass track (2,000 gold and 5 packs per season).

Gem packs are sold where purchases are open; in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland purchases are still closed. See Rules by country.

Through the Showcase, which works in every country: 6 cards a day, at a fixed price in gold or gems. See Showcase, dust and trades.

Only Reliquaries have a guarantee: an epic on the 15th purchase in a row without one and, in the Golden Reliquary, a legendary on the 25th without a legendary. See Packs.

No. The benefits are cosmetic and about recognition. The only exception is the highest level's 1/1 card, which is a legendary of normal power. See Hall of Myths.

The game quotes a refund period of 7 days for the Supporter Seal. A chargeback reverses the total and the decoration follows.

A pair with no recipe, no general rule and no compatible equipment fails: the previous card goes to the graveyard and the chain goes on. In the general rule there is only a result if a monster exists with ATK at least 300 above the stronger one. See Fusion.

Because the general rule creates the lowest-ATK monster that beats the materials with a 300 margin, not the strongest of the type. Fusing again climbs the next step.

No: the monster born from a fusion enters with the first constellation of the card. The choice exists when summoning a single card. See Summoning, positions and face-down cards.

Yes, except on the starting player's turn 1.

The player who starts the duel does not attack on turn 1; the second player can already attack on turn 2. See The table and the turn.

Only the first face-down trap in the row, left to right, triggers, one per attack. Also, the Daily Challenge "No traps" modifier stops all of them.

No. Every duel ends with a winner.

When the turn clock runs out, the turn passes by itself; only 3 timeouts in a row are a defeat. Abandonment is a defeat too: in PvP there are 60 seconds of grace to come back; against the computer, 300. See The clock.

Only a real duel pays XP, quests and PvP gold. See Real duel. A friend challenge never pays.

Gold against the computer has a daily cap of 300 gold, and PvP gold of 300 gold. A defeat against the computer pays no gold.

On a rematch, only one card comes per UTC day, and never above Rare. The card from the first win against each duelist comes only once.

No. Your Rank never drops.

In the high ranks there are gates (achievements XP cannot buy). XP keeps coming in and the Rank jumps when the gate opens. See Ranks.

The season restarts at 1,000 + (final Elo − 1,000) × 50%. See PvP.

Cards from paid packs and the premium track are locked for 7 days. A trade costs a gold fee, per side, by the highest rarity (from 50 gold to 2,000 gold).

No. Each character starts with a kit of their own; your collection does not come in. See Crossing of Myths.

You lose the journey in progress, but what it already paid in the main game (gold, XP, packs) stays with you. In Grades 0 and 1, the Phoenix Flame gives a second chance per journey.

It has written chat between friends with registered accounts, with a word filter and limits. In the duel, against anyone, there are also quick phrases and emotes (Quick phrases and emotes). See Chat between friends.

They are playful lines from the characters, in a bubble, that show up on their own at moments of the duel (a big hit, a comeback, an opponent stalling) and never pause it. To turn them off, go to Settings → Characters → “Automatic taunts”. See Automatic taunts.

In Settings → Multiplayer, turn off “Receive taunts”: the phrases from their Taunt tab stop showing and playing, and they are not told. “Mute opponent” in the duel and blocking also work, right away. See Quick phrases and emotes.

First you need to be friends: add the person by player name on the Friends screen, or tap Chat in the duel and then Send request. Once they accept, open your Conversations with the round button in the corner of the screen, or use the Chat button in your next duel together.

Written chat only works when: you are friends; both of you have registered accounts (a guest has no chat); neither of you declared being under 16; and there is no block between you. Even then, links and contact details are always refused and there are message limits, and the game tells you how many seconds to wait. See Chat between friends.

Tap the Safety shield, in the duel or next to the friend on the Friends screen, and choose Block or Report. Guests can too. The blocked player is not told; to unblock, go to Settings → Multiplayer → Blocked players. See Blocking and Reporting.

No. Trades are only between friends, and having friends needs a registered account. Save your guest with a new e-mail (Account, settings and accessibility) and add friends.
