The 5D's world has finally come to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links , bringing new duelists, cards and synchro summoning to the popular mobile game.
The latest Duel Links update makes Yusei Fudo available as a playable character, which opens up the 5D's world and the potential to unlock even more duelists to play with. Although there are only five duelists available at the launch of 5D's, three are relatively easy to snag. Crow Hogan and Luna may take a bit more time and strategy to unlock.
Here are the five new Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links characters and how to unlock them.
Note: This guide is still being updated.
YUSEI FUDO
Yusei is the easiest to unlock and can be obtained after players reach Stage 10 in the Duel Monsters world. Most players will already be at this Stage, so a new mission will appear in the top-right corner.
To unlock Yusei Fudo (and the 5D's world), players will need to do the following:
- Summon 10 Wind Monsters
AKIZA IZINSKI
The Plant monster master, Akiza Izinski, brings her preferred type to Duel Links . Akiza is rather simple to obtain as players only need to reach a certain Stage in the 5D's World to reveal her unlock requirements.
Here's how to unlock Akiza Izinski:
- Reach Stage 6 in 5D's World
- Play as Yusei Fudo and win 1 Duel against Akiza at level 20 in Duel World
- Summon Plant-type Monsters five times in total
- Successfully perform 3 Synchro Summons
LEO
Like Akiza, Leo's unlock missions will appear after players reach a certain Stage in the 5D's World of Duel Links. Once that is reached, Leo's unlock requirements will appear in the top left corner.
Here's how to unlock Leo:
- Reach Stage 11 in 5D's World
- Achieve 1 Quick Victory in a Duel against Leo at level 20 using Yusei Fudo
- Use Equip Spell Cards 3 times in 5D's World
- Collect 5 Machine-type Cards
CROW HOGAN
To unlock Crow Hogan and his Blackwing cards, players will need to defeat an NPC in the 5D's World in a specific way. The NPC you need to defeat is the Sector Security and he didn't show up for us until Stage 3 so be sure to get it up there before trying.
Here's how to unlock Crow Hogan in Duel Links:
- Win Against Sector Security with at least a 5000 Duel Assessment
- Play as Yusei Fudeo and win three Duels against Crow Hogan at level 30 in Duel World
- Achieve three wins using only Winged Beast-type Monster Cards in 5D's World
- Inflict 30,000 or more points of effect damage in 5D's World
The easiest way to do this is by using a hybrid Ra/Aromage deck where you can stall out your opponent with Jasmine while at the same time building up your lifepoints to take them down in one attack from Ra.
LUNA
Leo's twin, it only makes sense that Luna's unlock requirements have to do with her brother. Here's how to unlock Luna in Duel Links.
- Win 100 duels with Leo
OFFICER TETSU TRUDGE
Trudge can be unlocked through a new event in Duel Links. By cumulating a certain number of points when dueling Trudge, you can unlock him. Here's all the details you need to unlock the latest 5D's character.
