I forgot that the GY in duel links looks like another monster zone... so I simply blurred it out using the youtube editor. do not be alarmed, its not nsfw content, its just the gy.
La unica que no entendi es la de el minuto 07:13 es que hablo español y me cuesta entender el ingles aun asi entendi todo lo demas .
Otra duda que tengo es cuando el link dice 2+, 1+,3+ ... y cuando solo dice 1 or , 2 or 3 or ... hay alguna diferencia yo tenia la loca teoria que cuando tiene el signo de mas es por que pide ese link y lo que viene despues de el mas son moustros entonces si decia 3+ debua usar un link 3 y un moustro y si solo decia 3 or , podia usar solo moustros o links
Are you stupid?! OF COURSE ITS NSFW! That’s where all the mangled corpses of the rogue deck who tried running in the YCS ends up! No one! Should ever have to witness such a sight…it’s too tragic
im f around with exeed the pendulum because of eventual ritual beast support
@@thenilo1013Cuando pide el símbolo de más significa que el numero al lado es la cantidad minima. Es decir, si en los requisitos pide 3+ (Requisitos), significa que necesita 3 o más para hacer la invocación link
Would have been better if the the link rating was shown while you were using duel links, or not need to count the number of arrows on the cards. Anyways the timer was too fast for me also, I did cheat by pausing (Especially for the later questions), XD

Unfunny + cringe
I knew I should've added a part about not doing that
@@daniel71632 the only thing that is "unfunny and cringe" is your humor
nah man its incredibly unfunny lmao @@_Necroz
And this is a bad thing?
Duel Link players, don't forget to turn off the automatic card placement option! You can't ruin your opponent's day if you can't place your Altergeists in the leftmost zones!
That the auto placement is the standard setting is so dumb tho. Makes sense for spell/traps since none plays row based cards or am not even sure exists in DL but not being able to choose where your EX cards should be is dumb. Especially if you first synchro/xyz summon and then you're locked out of link summoning
THAT'S A SETTING???
Damn, here I thought that was an actual in-game mechanic I was forced to deal with 😂
Now that (for some reason) we're talking about Linkuriboh's feet, did you know that they are wireless mouses?
Wait are you serious? hang on i need to go check something
Edit: oh my god they totally are... I had to go look at the bottoms to confirm
2002: combing monsters
2008: Doing math with monsters
2011: stacking monsters
2014: summoning 5 monsters in one turn
2017: trying to figure out which direction the game is going with monsters.
(Rituals not counted)
Technically ritual summoning is also combining monsters, you're just ritualistically sacrificing them and throwing their corpses into a blender to combine them.
Combing
Ha, nice trick question there at 6:49. You CAN summon Firewall by activating Vernusylph of the Misting Seedling’s effect to discard himself, search a monster, then summon himself from GY, 2 + 1 + 1 = 4.
This is technically right... the best kind of right
Wouldn't that lock you into earth anyway?
@@JuMooly I think vernusylphs only lock you into earth effects, not special summons

This is the Tutorial that the community Needed
I recently discovered your channel through your last two videos; even though I'm more of a MD player than DL, I can still appreciate the humor and explanations, good stuff 👍
Im really glad to hear this. Ive been trying to cater to a general ygo audience. Plus the MD people always teach me stuff I never knew about the game.
The Firewall Dragon section got me, beautiful video!
I really like this tutorial, as a veteran YGO player and regular MD player i enjoyed your humor and way of doing things, hope your channel grows!
Thanx for the rundown. I got back to Yu-Gi-Oh during early link era and it looked like a fun mechanic. It's my 2nd fav summoning method after xyz.
I think the mechanic is underused, specifically the pointing/co-linking part
Link monster powercreep another summon mechanic
Amd how. Just a look at the Banlist is enough to see that
I think it got as bad as it did because they turned the materials fully generic. Many links now just need a body on board to start combos. I promise you, if we kept restrictions, nobody would be whining about Mistar Boy. If you couldn't drop I:P into S:P without two Cyberse monsters, you wouldn't see anyone playing it except decks that can actually use it. Fully generic materials for Links were a mistake :p
Link vrains pack mistakes
wow this link summon tutorial video really helpful, i just found out you can pause video with "K" key in your keyboard, 5/5!
Instructions unclear, my pikachu fainted and I have no more useable pokemon- I blacked out
Fucking what?
yeah baronne de fleur is used in every freaking deck now as a boss monster. it's also without a pre-evolved form so you don't have to evolve it ugh.
Every year we get closer to forbidden memories fusion.
Petit dragon+ fire blossom+ bean soldier= gaia the sky warrior.
Don't be ridiculous... that combination would just be bean soldier (dragon + plant = black dragon jungle king, then bean soldier would just replace it since there's no fusion equivalent).
You're thinking of bean soldier + zombie + dragon + gaia the fierce knight = gaia the dragon champion (1000 atk or higher plant + zombie = pumpking, king of ghosts + dragon = curse of dragon + gaia = gaia the dragon champion).
Honestly, thank you so much. That is probably the single most in-depth explanation as to how to summon monsters and I really needed that. Thank you
I can't believe this video has to exist
Great vid! A good knowledge check for me as a new player!
It’s so funny because I only started playing MD last year and link summoning was the easiest concept for me to grasp😂
XYZ on the other hand was difficult because I started playing with zoodiacs first…😅
great video; the quiz was great!
i always internalized linking as, "its like tribute summoning but from your extra deck, but may or may not have niche conditions"
Others probably mentioned it, but you can also use Bellcat as 3, Reproducus as 1, and Converter as 1, Summoning it to Knightmare's side and leaving a free EMZ space.
Too bad Knightmare Phoenix now has to hold hands with the Quiet kid in the back of class that only listens to Korn and Tool
I remember I was at one of the first tournaments with Link Monsters in the TCG. It wasn't an official tournament or anything but well let's just say I was surprised when I saw one of the judges put the field centers on the table. A good amount of people had the links from the first structure deck so Link Spider, HoneyBOT, and Decode Talker and just threw them in their deck, mostly Decode Talker.
Anyways I was playing my Dark Magician deck because I was in middle school or my first year of highschool and didn't know anything about Meta. Plus I didn't have any Link Monsters. I did have a basic understanding of them tho.
So my opponent one round had Decode Talker out in his EMZ and I had Ebon Illusion Magician in mine. I then looked at the field and thought of something. So I used Dark Magician with the Eye of Timaeus to summon Amulet Dragon (I don't think I had Dark Magician the Dragon Knight yet.) to the zone that Decode Talker pointed to on my field. My opponent then said I couldn't do that and I said I could do we called the judge over. I find it funny that the guy that owned the card didn't know something about his own card.
0:40 That's a hell of a card
4:26 Nope!
5:06 Yes, you can.
6:25 Yes, you should.
6:52 No way. You shouldn't be able to.
7:13 Why do I feel that this is a trick question? Firewall Dragon is already on the field. I'm going to take a guess and say yes you can.
9:32 You can.
9:41 WHAT?!
9:49 Huh?!
9:52 Absolutely not.
10:19 Yes.
11:01 I don't mess with Link Summons that much, but I at least know how it works.
When I first started MD, I just used a couple of Link monsters to supplement the deck. It wasn't until I played Dragon Link that I had to fully learn the intricacies of the mechanic.
This was great, i actually didn't know i was playing link monsters wrong.
The joji filthy frank image is a prime example of the kinda editing that’s subtle but no less incredible. Great job
lol thats technically a stolen thumbnail from that "how joji escaped from frank" video from a while ago. I just assumed enough people knew where it was from that it was more of a pop culture reference at this point.
10:47~10:54 Use both Link 2s as Link 2 monsters and the Link 3 as a Link 1 monster. That's three monsters with a total Link rating of 5, leaving the non-Link monster on the field and freeing up the EMZ for Darkfluid.
The quiz especially fun and helpful, but sadly on the duel link footage I can't see the Link numbers of the card so I can't answer the question.
Still this is a nice video. I actually get into the MD recently (my first intro to yugioh tcg) and I think this video should be in the tutorial.
Link Summoning: complex tributing
Link summoning is basically playing chess with cardboard, a Synchro summoning who had š3x with pendulums but believed a little too much in itself
0:40 - You reminded me my sister has a copy of Shooting Star Dragon TG EX with my name on it.
Now I just need to figure out how I can summon the blasted thing naturally with maybe 1 Synchro Tuner (Coral Dragon) to my name.
I have like 2-3 copies of King's Synchro and King's Consonance though, those cards are godsends.
Thank needed this
Have no idea why this was reccomended to me, as I am neither a Duel Links player nor confused over Links, but thoroughly enjoyed regardless lol
Before this video I thought link summoning was easy, but now that I watched this video I still think that link summoning is easy so yeah 10/10 video
I was playing Sunavalon and something that I was caught off guard by was link monsters summoned from the extra deck but not necessarily link summoned still needs to be linked to another monster. Its obvious if you think about it but it made figuring out the deck longer than it should.
I'll be honest: As someone who dropped out of the game before XYZ were a thing and just recently got back into it, I've experienced literally all of these problems in my endeavors to reliably summon Firewall-Dragon Darkfluid Neo-Tempest-Terahertz. If I saw this video half a year ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain that the Master Duel Tutorial just lets you walk straight into xD
9:40 Bruh I hate DL, I was so confused why you couldn't summon Darkfluid since pentestag was there. I even checked the requirments for Darkfluid to make sure I wasn't stupid.
Until I realised that that's the gy, not the field.
Ngl, I was not aware that you can only link summon a monster to a zone another link monster points to 🤦🏻♂️ that explains a lot
I’ve been playing Yu Gi oh for about 2 months now, I understand Link and Pendulum more than I understand Xyz and Synchro
Can you please make a video like this for synchro summoning. I got a buddy who cant add 3+4 and always somehow makes a synchro 10. Or tries to do a tuner 4 and a nontuner 10 into a different synchro 10
I just want a tutorial on how to summon the stardust dragon upgrades.
Teach them math. A video doesn’t seem necessary
@@TearsofaMermaid stardust + accel synchron or, for the level 12s, level 5 synchro + level 5 synchro + accel synchron
Does your friend have dyscalculia?
Link summoning is just a floating tribute summon. Think about it like you always have a monster you can tribute summon once you get the materials.
Love how the Link rating seems to always be the same as the number of arrows. Just like how an xyz's rank is its (base) material's level. Because THIS is where the design team has to draw a line.
@4:43 actually you can V-link with 3 using the link 5(6?) firewall that points up-left and up-right PLUS any of the link 1/2 guys that point diagonally. I think there are two link ones for that. Not sure which they are lol
As like the only person I know that likes Pendulum summoning, I learnt all I know about them by playing Metalfoes. You need to build up GY resources to use your effects, so you end up learning when exactly is your monster going into the extra deck and when is it going to the graveyard. If they get sent to the GY from the hand or deck, they go there like normal. I they get sent to the GY/destroyed from the field, they go to the extra deck. If they're xyz material, they go to the graveyard. And I think that's it? the hard part is remembering all that.
Daidarant & Magician of Hope: Our time has come!
Maybe I'm weird but I've never found a single new summon type difficult to grasp. I struggle to work out why people struggle with these concepts.
Ritual: Sacrifice monster for bigger monster
Fusion: Combine monsters for bigger monster
Synchro: Ritual but on the field
Xyz: Solitaire
Pendulum: Some monsters are also spells, and you can mass summon between their special numbers.
Link: Arrows go pointy point
Considering your description of the first three would only confuse a new player, you've already shown that you're talking nonsense.
4:28 Jackpot 7 caught me so off-guard.
Wish this was out when i was learning
I needed this tutorial during the KCcup a few weeks ago for specifically Darkfluid.
I kept thinking I kept thinking i could summon it off Firewall.
I didn't have enough to read because the timer in Duel Links is scuffed
"3+ effect monsters" is literally its First line of text.
I missed the proper placement on the last one
This channel is amazing
Im tcgplayer and never knew about exact ljnk rating 😭
6:35 devious bait question. Clever
Link summoning is pretty hard to explain because with the rest of the summoning methods there's a catalyst that causes the summonm. For ritual and fusion thats the spell card and its pretty easy to understand sacrficing/merging the material through the catalyst that is the spell card. With synchro summoning the catalyst is the tuner and its pretty easy to imagine the tuner adding its levels to the material to make the summon. Xyz is a little less clear but the anime did a really good job of showing that when you stack two monstera you can invoke the boss monsters through the overlay network even getting the signature explosion from the black hole to show it.
Pendulum summoning itself is pretty easy to understand imo since its more of a series of special summons from the hand than the extra deck. It's pendulum cards themeselves that are harder to understand imo, the fact that when you scale them they act as spells not monsters except in some cases like when you destroy them, and then the fact that when they're popped they go to extra deck but not when tributed. Its kind of a mess.
Link summoning really has no restrictions other than the conditions so any time you can achieve them you kinda just throw the materials in grave then summon them. I like link climbing as a concept but imo they would have been better off without the arrows and maybe a harder restriction like unless you already have a link monster you need to use your normal summon to link which would make it much harder for other archetypes to abuse link summoning and get that feeling of using a catalyst to get the ball rolling. That's just me spitballing though
Links overall need to be less generic. It's not because Links don't have intrinsic restrictions that they can't have specific requirements.
It took me almost a year of playing Duel Links to understand Link Summons. Only reason I got it was to play Trickstars😭
Link monsters is what broke Yugioh. It made the game more and more faster as many deck nowadays play Links in their decks to combo off or finish a duel.
Tbf to the Synchro Herald monster, it's meant to be support for Ritual monsters, but it's been abused.
Now to wait for:
LINK -8
7+ Monsters
This would be incredibly tough tho. 6+ monsters is more reasonable.

@@Ramsey276one ik, that's why it's not impossible. But it should be 7 Monsters, not 7+

Instructions unclear
Summoned Red Supernova Dragon
Try not locking yourself into DARK Dragon Synchros, it helps for summoning non-DARK, non-Dragon Link (non-Synchro) monsters.
The 4 Weather Painter Players who already mastered zone management:
Ah yes, the deck that functionally has Link Spells.
I'll say this, Xyz summoning is almost certainly the easiest summoning mechanic.
Aside from that though, link summoning is the easiest once you understand the basics. It's a bit complicated at first, but eventually it becomes quite easy.
That, or you can choose to not learn it and play Tri-brigade who cheats out all their link monsters anyways.
9:41 this scenario fucks me up constantly. Cuz I forget it’s exact ratings. Agave can’t contribute only 3 arrows, and if it’s 4 or 1, the math just doesn’t work. It’s all or nothing
Link Summoning is great. Gave life to old decks, even.
Before watching: “yea I’ve been playing for 8 years. Link summoning is easy, but I don’t do it very often”
After watching: “wow. I forgot how many games I’ve lost cuz I don’t know how Link summoning works”

lol thanks mario, sorry i havent made a short in so long
What in the world I didn't know the arrows on links can be summoned where it points 😂
Ima be real,pendulums was what i learned 1st and have loved them since,dont know why my brain couldn't comprehend the others but-
When did duel links get link fusion and why? They barely have card space for syncro
We got to the point where we actually need a duel academia
I'm bad at this game, but even i know how to link summon, the apparent necessity to have this video just means we have way too many [insert deck] players!
I remember when Vrains world launched in DL and I tried to summon Borreload with a L3 + another monster and I was so confused lmao
Edit: I'm later into the video and you caught me
Omg because I forgot agave dragon's link rating that was conveniently not visible
I explain to my friends all the time but they dont get it. Somehow they understand synchro or XYZ summons. ITS SO MUCH EASIER TO LINK UP!!
Synchro is just basic math and Xyz is literally simple af so no not really
They are all easy but synchro and xyz are definitely easier
"Somehow" C'mon they're fucking easy
Im pretty none of the replies have ever had to explain it to someone. So let me give you an example of how to summon and why link summon is easier.
Synchro: 2 or more monsters with overall levels that equal the synchro monsters own level. Send monsters to the gy or banish zone for summon. Also for most synchros you need to make sure one of those monsters is a tuner and the rest of the requirement have to be non tuners. Can be placed in extra monster zone or main monster zone
XYZ: You need to usually have the exact number of monsters listed on the text along with them being the same level as the rank of the xyz monster. Stack the monsters on top of each other onto a zone where you would like to place the monster. Send one of the cards under it to the gy or banish when the card needs an XYZ material as cost. They can be placed in extra zone or main zone.
Link: 1 or monsters that equal the link rating of the monster. Send the materials to the gy or banish zone. Set monster into extra monster zone and wherever the arrows point are extra zones. Can only be placed in extra monster zones.
It isnt much of a difference but I still explained Link in less words and I cut out a few words when I could for Sync and XYZ and left most of the words in for Link. Theres just less set up for them.
Yeah, Links can be a little counterintuitive, i tried Beetrooper on MD because they are a robotic insect army, how could i not, and i got insect-locked all the time, so add the frustration of learning Links with Xenolocks, i was wracking my brain trying to figure what i linked wrong when in the end there is little line of text on Armor Horn and Invincible Atlas that say that they don't like them non-bugs 'round here.
At first i thought they were weak, you have to know which ones do what , but strongest thing is link 2 and one other can make 3, one more and link 4, they use the expression climb the links, so your link 2 basically represents 2 monsters and puts you that much closer to 4
I thought people would have issues with Extra Link: Full Burst.
Not the act of link summon alone, it's kind of like asking: Le player: How do you synchro summon?
Me: you mean, delta or limit over accel synchro?
Le player: no, synchro summon
Me: Wat
Edit: I would have included dark synchro, but that's an anime-only thing.
Didn't knew about the "exactly X" and "Link 3 OR 1, but not 2", partially because I kinda never went farther than a link 3. The zone thing I did knew about, and so about the requiriments.
I only kinda failed at 1 because I assumed beaver warrior was an effect monster, but let's be honest, WHY WOULD YOU EVER PLAY BEAVER WARRIOR?! At least put a Shine ball or World Chalice to make a believable scenario.
In general I feel I'm a quick learner. Understood synchos immediately, luckily remembered a video of how proper summon works to not make dumb mistakes, only had to ask once about how detaching didn't count as sending from field to grave (An errata because of Sangan btw... then he got banned 1 turn later), fusion and Ritual is easy to get if you're using a fusion spell, and I got Links right outside the "exactly X" and "as Y or 1, but not in between".
PS: 2 Notes.
1°: Is not that Konami makes the best monster generic, is that being generic is a big reason why they're the most played synchros. Like, imagine if Crimson Dragon said "1 dragon synchro" instead of just non-tuner; I'm sure the card would not see play considering the decks who play it don't even want to have the crimson dragon spells, only to synchro summon stuff like Blazar dragon.
2°: I LOVED the Monster hunter meat roasting gif.
3°: Indeed, I don't think I'll ever bother with pendulum summoning. I'm not a fan of combo decks and the mechanic became even more complicated with MR4.
Really fun vid
When you switched to duel links you cant see link ratings so it makes it hard to tell
yes
no
yes, to both zones
yes, 3+1
no, since its 2+5 or 2+1
yes, 2+1+1
no
no, darkfluid needs an effect monster
yes, and while you have 2 zones to summon him to, you must use bellcat in this situation
I genuinely didnt know you could press K to pause
I am of the belief that dark synchros should be "1 tuner - 1 non tuner or 1 non tuner - 1 tuner" instead of"1 tuner + 1 non tuner"
Yeah I passed all of the tests.
Playing Dragon Link in Master Duel until Wyverburster was found dead in Miami carved me into the freak I am today

Excellent guide, failed at Beaver warrior cause forgot Fluid asks for effect monsters, so as the @.i fan @.i am must cleanse my soul from that sin
Using the effect of Infra Flier would also explain link arrows since only 1 or 2 zones would be availible to summon Infra Flier.

One thing I’ll never understand is being able to summon something like appaloosa and then I get one token and I can’t anymore. I have the same cards on board as before plus one token! Does anyone know why this works like this? Also the card that summoned the token didn’t have any restrictions on summoning afterwards.
Apollousa does not take tokens if you read her card text. She speficically states 2+ monsters with different names except tokens.
