Konami has announced a new PVP mode for YuGiOh Duel Links, called Character Deck Duel for roleplaying as your favorite characters.
Rather than build your own decks, the new Character Deck Duels let you play as popular characters, with pre-built decks and skills to best represent them.
Playing in this mode is also good for beginners, since picking a character also gets you a guided introduction to their specific playstyle and lets you earn Respect Orbs that can be exchanged for cards and items.
Players can also upgrade the Grade of Character Decks, letting you customize up to five cards from the deck based on its grade.
