TEAM BATTLE COMES TO YU-GI-OH! MASTER DUEL

Team up for 3v3 and 5v5 formats in brand-new mode

Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. (KONAMI) has announced a new update is available now for Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL featuring a wave of additions to the hit digital card game, including a new mode: Team Battle

In Team Battle, Duelists can test their mettle in 3v3 or 5v5 matchups. For the matchup, each Duelist takes on another from the opposite team, and the team with the most wins at the end prevails. Partner up with your friends and prove your team’s Dueling prowess against the very best.

To help augment their Decks ready for Team Battle, Duelists can now acquire cards from the new Battle Trajectory Selection Pack. It features plenty of new and notable Pendulum Monsters from the “Performapal” and “Odd-Eyes” archetypes. Battle Trajectory also introduces the “Vaylantz” archetype to Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL, which is focused around manipulating your opponents’ cards’ positions.

Duelists can also now acquire the new Mamonaka the Vaylantz United Protector and Visas Starfrost Icon. Both are available now in the in-game Shop, as is the new Deck Slot acquirable item.
