If you play through Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links you’ll be able to play as your favorite duelists from the original anime. You begin with either Yami Yugi or Seto Kaiba but from there duelists will have to complete tasks and grow in rank to unlock some of the strongest duelists in Yu-Gi-Oh!.
However, not every duelists in Duel Links can be unlocked simply by raising your Stage Rank. Certain duelists have special conditions that need to be met before they appear in the Duel World. And even then, you’ll have to complete that duelist’s special task list.
Here’s a list of all the duelists you can unlock in Duel Links and the conditions needed to do so. They are split into two groups, the first is by Stage Rank, which will unlock a duelist simply by reaching that level and the other is through special conditions.
Some of these special conditions are hard to track but if you are in the main menu and press the information icon (the icon that is shaped like a person) then you can see all of your play data since you began. Scroll down and you’ll see information like how many traps you’ve played or how many tribute summons you have performed.
Use this to track your progress with the duelists unlocked through special conditions.
UPDATE: The Pegasus event is now live.
NOTE: Pegasus is coming to Duel Links but it seems through a special event that has not gone live. We will update as soon as we learn more.
