The latest Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links update has made Bonz unlockable, but that’s not all. Leakers studied the coding from the new update and discovered some information on future events and cards.

According to multiple posts on the Duel Links subreddit, a brand-new set of cards is slated to arrive on the last day of December. What’s more, there will be a new Battle City event and Zane will be an unlockable duelist for the GX world.

There’s a lot to go through so we’ll break up the information into sections.

NEW SET - PRIMAL BURST

Arguably the biggest news of the datamine is the inclusion of a new set of cards that include some of the strongest archetypes in the entire TCG. The new set is rumored to be named Primal Burst and have Volcanic Doomfire as the cover monster. This means that the Volcanic archetype, introduced in the GX era, will join Duel Links.

The datamine makes mention of Tri-Blaze Accelerator to summon Doomfire. Since Tri-Blaze can only be activated by sending a Blaze Accelerator to the graveyard, expect that spell card to be added in this set.

Volcanic Shell is another Volcanic card that was specifically mentioned in the datamine text. Duelists looking for another good Fire-type archetype won’t have to look far.

Another archetype that may be introduced in Primal Burst are the Lightsworn, a set of cards that discard from your own deck to activate powerful effects. Lyla - Lightsworn Sorceress is the only card of this archetype that is named in this datamine, but expect more cards.

Dark World monsters are the third archetype that are expected in Primal Burst. The only card mentioned is Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World and Ceruli, Guru of Dark World, but expect more cards from this archetype.

These monsters have powerful effects that only activate when they are discarded from the hand.

ZANE UNLOCKED?

With Bonz now available to unlock, the next duelist to join Duel Links will likely be from the GX world. The latest datamine shows that it will be Zane Truesdale.

Zane and his Cyber Dragon monsters are very strong, so duelists will want to unlock him and his cards as soon as possible. The datamine revealed Zane’s Level 40 drops, which you can see below.

  • Chimeratech Overdragon
  • Cyber Dragon Zwei
  • Cyber Laser Dragon
  • Cybernetic Fusion Support
  • Cyber Repair Plant
  • Cyber Kirin
  • Proto-Cyber Dragon
  • Cyber Barrier Dragon
  • Photon Generator Unit
  • Attack Reflector Unit

BATTLE CITY INCOMING

The Duelist Kingdom event was a huge hit and now Konami may also bring Battle City to Duel Links. The datamine reveals there will be new NPC Legendary Duelists that are similar to Arcana and the Rare Hunter in the most recent Yami Marik event.

This time, Duel Links players will face off against Strings (and presumably Slifer, the Sky Dragon), Tristan Taylor and Mind-Controlled Joey. Players should also expect to relive the events of Battle City and receive a ton of new cards and goodies.
