Amazoness and Fur Hire Decks Get Big Hit
Konami surprised Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links players with a new effort to prevent some of the more popular decks from becoming too overpowered. In an in-game message released on Oct. 16, Konami detailed plans to rebalance two Skills along with updates to the forbidden and limited list intended to expand the variety of decks being used.
The Version 3.1 update will be implemented between Oct. 18-21 with Oct. 22 marking the start of the new ban list.
Here's all the changes coming to Duel Links:
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links SKILL REBALANCES
Cyber Style
Zane Truesdale's Cyber Style skill will be changed drastically. The Proto-Cyber Dragons summoned using this effect cannot be used for anything but Fusion Summon. This will hurt the UA decks that used these monsters as Tribute fodder. Synchro decks will also take a hit, as they can't use Proto-Cyber Dragon as Synchro material.
Life Cost 0
Tea's Life Cost 0 skill was used a lot to abuse Cyber-Stein's ability to summon as many Fusion Monsters to the field. The change will see the skill being used once.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links FORBIDDEN/LIMITED LIST UPDATE
The changes to the forbidden and limited list in Duel Links aim to foster more deck types in PVP. Fur Hires and Amazoness have been some of the most overpowered archetypes in Duel Links since their introduction, but this ban list now will limit their potential.
While Amazoness decks getting Onslaught hit again (was semi-limited) and Amazoness Princess going to semi-limited, the consistency of this deck will take a huge hit.
In Fur Hire decks, Wiz had been the most powerful card because of its negation abilities. It's now semi-limited, making those decks less consistent and preventing them from controlling the board quicker.
Cards like Hey, Trunade and Treacherous Trap Hole were being used in almost every deck, so hitting them will give other cards some time to shine. Here's the entire updated list of forbidden and limited cards:
Limited List
Vision Hero Vyon
Amazoness Onslaught
Semi-Limited
Amazoness Princess
Wiz, Sage Fur Hire
Hye, Trunade
Treacherous Trap Hole
