Standard Duelist

Standard Duelists are a classification of characters that appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. While Legendary Duelists are based on characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga series, Standard Duelists are generic characters unique to Duel Links.

In the Japanese version, Standard Duelists do not have names and are instead referred to by their defining trait; in the English version, each of them has their own name.

Mechanics

In Duel World, all Standard Duelists are functionally identical; each time they spawn they are randomly assigned a Deck from a pool that varies with the player's highest Stage.

A limited number of Standard Duelists can appear in Duel World at once. The maximum number of Standard Duelists that can appear is increased as the player increases their Stage. While the specific Standard Duelists that appear in different series Duel Worlds differ, the total number of available Standard Duelists is shared between all Duel Worlds. Some Standard Duelists are exclusive to a specific Duel World, while others can appear in multiple.

A Standard Duelist respawns every 30 minutes, until no more Standard Duelists can spawn. Alternatively, the player can cause all Standard Duelists to respawn (so that the maximum number are present) by using either 10 Duel Orbs or 1 Boosted Duel Orb. Standard Duelists will also all respawn when the player advances a Stage in any Duel World.

When challenging a Standard Duelist, the player can choose a Reward Multiplier of 1, 2 or 3. This number determines how many Standard Duelists are consumed when initiated that Duel, but it also multiplies the player's Duel Assessment and experience earned by that value.

The AI of the Standard Duelists starts similar to that of the Level 10 Legendary Duelists to help new players adjust, but improves as the player increases their Stage.

Decks

Duel World

A Standard Duelist's Deck is randomly chosen upon spawning, using one of several possible Decks for Standard Duelists. The pool of Decks used by Standard Duelists depends on the player's Stage in Duel World (DM), even for Standard Duelists in Duel World (GX). Once the player reaches a Stage whose number corresponds to a new set of Decks of a particular level, the Standard Duelists start using Decks of that level.

Duelist Chronicles

Some Standard Duelists appear as characters in Duelist Chronicles events. The level of their Deck is affected by the number of times the player has cleared the whole board.

In Duelist Chronicles: Set Sail for The Kingdom, Standard Duelists also have Skills, with the Skill corresponding to the area they are dueled.
