Skill

For the card type, see Skill Card.

Skill (スキル, Sukiru) is a special rule characteristic of Speed Duels, which are featured in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, and as a variant of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.

In the anime, it is also possible to use a Skill during a Master Duel under certain circumstances, the specifics of which are currently unknown, as shown when Bohman and Windy used Storm Access during their respective Master Duels with Playmaker and Varis.

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

In Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Skills are special effects that each player can use only once per Duel. They may possess a number of effects, like improving a draw, increasing one's LP or enhancing a monster's ATK. They can be used during either player's turn. Skills appear to be procedurally generated, though rather than being generated randomly like they would be in real-world video games, they appear to be generated to fit a Duelist's Deck and/or Dueling style. As seen with Playmaker and Varis, Skills are not necessarily unique to their users, and multiple Duelists can share a given Skill. As seen with the Gore and Skye Zaizen a Duelist may utilize different Skills between different Decks.

If two or more Duelists combine their LINK VRAINS avatars into one and play a Duel as that combined avatar, their avatar will have access to each of those players' Skills during that Duel and can use each Skill once. This technically enables a single Duelist within that Duel to use multiple Skills, beyond the normal "once per Duel" limit. (This is because the game considers each player to be using their own individual Skill once per Duel.) For example, Bit and Boot were able to use Marker's Portal twice during their Duel with Soulburner, since their avatars were combined into BitBoot.

Skills can be hacked to do previously unheard-of abilities, such as the Double Draw Skill used by Number 10.

List of Skills

Skill	User	Ability	Picture
Double Draw (ダブルドロー, Daburu Dorō)	Number 10	The user can draw 2 cards for their normal draw during their Draw Phase instead of 1.
Storm Access (ストームアクセス, Sutōmu Akusesu)	Playmaker Varis Bohman Windy	If the user has 1000 or less LP, they can access a Cyberse Link Monster at random from a nearby Data Storm and add it to their Extra Deck. The more intense the Data Storm, the stronger the obtained Link Monster will be. Furthermore, the accessed Link Monster will be a well-suited match for the Duelist using this Skill.
Pain and Gain (闘魂, Tōkon, Fighting Spirit)	The Gore	The user can Special Summon all "Gouki" monsters that were destroyed by battle this turn.
Trickstar Trick (トリックスターフロード, Torikkusutā Furōdo, Trickstar Fraud)	Blue Angel	During the opponent's turn, the user can discard a "Trickstar" card to make the opponent draw until they have 3 cards in their hand. During the End Phase of that turn, the opponent must banish a card from their hand for each "Trickstar" monster in the user's GY.
Secret Cure (シークレットキュア, Shīkuretto Kyua)	Ghost Gal	The user can excavate cards from the top of their Deck until they excavate a Monster Card. That monster is added to their hand, and both players gain LP equal to that monster's ATK. Any other excavated cards are sent to the GY.

Neo Storm Access (ネオ・ストームアクセス, Neo Sutōmu Akusesu)	Playmaker	If the user has 1000 or less LP, they can access a Cyberse monster at random from a nearby Data Storm and add it to their Extra Deck. If the user did not add a new card to their Extra Deck using this Skill, and their LP is 100 or less, they can access a Cyberse monster at random from a nearby Data Storm again and add it to their Extra Deck, then they draw 1 card. The accessed monster will be a well-suited match for the Duelist using this Skill.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, each character can assign one Skill to each of their Decks. Non-player characters normally do not use Skills, but they occasionally do during special events.

Each character can unlock 3 Skills by leveling up. Characters can also obtain Skills as drops when defeating any Duelists (in the past, Skill drops were exclusive to defeating Legendary Duelists). One Skill, Joey Wheeler's Fields of the Warriors, is obtained from Mission Bingo. Many Duelists can share the same Skill, but no Skill is obtainable by all characters.

In the current version of the game, it is not possible for a Duelists to drop a Skill that the currently selected character had already obtained. In older versions of the game, however, Skills from a previous drop could still be dropped, but they were automatically converted into 15 Gems instead. (In a somewhat later update, this was changed to a random drop of 5, 10, or 15 Gems.)

Along with the game's Forbidden and Limited lists, Skill effects are subject to change to maintain balance.

The Duel Links Legend Deck Guide listed certain Skills as suggestions for casual play using the Legend Decks in the guide.

Differences between the anime and Duel Links

In the anime, if the use of a certain Skill would cause a certain effect to meet its activation requirement, that effect can be activated normally after the Skill has finished being applied. For example, discarding "Trickstar Mandrake" in order to use her Trickstar Fraud Skill allowed Skye Zaizen to activate Mandrake's Trigger Effect afterward.

In Duel Links, however, Skills are designed not to interact with any card effects that would be triggered by the Skill's usage. As such, immediately after a Skill is applied, the game proceeds to an open game state, leaving no chance for any effects to be activated in response to the Skill (even mandatory Trigger Effects). The only exception to this was the Skill Last Gamble, which allowed effects triggered by its discarding to be activated after the player drew the cards per the die result. This was, however, fixed in a later update.
