You have to Duel and test in order to achieve a higher dorm and rank. When you win duels, you will get DP for buying booster packs in order to improve your Deck and skills.

Earning DP[edit]

  • 100 DP for winning by reducing your opponents LP to 0
    • another 1 DP for every 100 LP your opponent lost during the duel

    • another 50 DP for each of your opponent's monsters destroyed by battle

  • Reward is doubled if you win in less than 7 turns.
  • Reward is multiplied by 5 if you win in less than 5 turns.
  • Reward is multiplied by 10 if you win on turn 2 going second.

Change Activation Timing[edit]

This nice feature enables you to prevent the game to ask you if you want to activate a card's effect in every possible situation. i.e. You can choose only to be asked to activate "Scapegoat" during the opponent's Battle Phase. Therefore choose "Option" in the PDA screen and choose "Confirm Activation" to be manual. Now if you select a card while in the Deck Construction menu you see an extra icon for the activation timing of this card. If you choose this icon you can unselect all cases with the L-button and then only select the activation times you want.
