NPC Farm Help
Can anyone suggest a good NPC duelist to farm to build semi-decent F2P decks?

Heres my situation: I'm building the Buster Blader deck, I already have x2 Whelp, x2 Destruction sword, 2x Dragon Slayer, 1x Paladin and i'm working on x3 Canadia now, which means all my gems go into one box.
I'm looking for advice on a good duelist to farm / one to level up to build a decent deck for PvP as since I've not spent a single gem outside of the needed boxes I'm unable to really build any "real" decks. Including farm decks.

I'm slowly using the card trader to build the Thunder Dragon Gate Gaurdian farm deck. I have x3 Thunder Dragon and x1 of it's fusion, Gravekeeper Vassal, and working on the draw system cards (Jar of Greed and Wonder wand)

But I'm unsure where to start with NPC farming and levelling to build another deck to use till my main one is finished. I had considered farming Mai and levelling Odion to get Amazon cards and Odions 21 reward trap, or farm Pegasus for Toon deck as I have 2x Toon Dark Magician Girl.

I'd be open to buying any of the structure decks multiple times if any of them would give me good PvP potential or a decent farm deck with a consistent strategy. (If it helps I have x1 of the Destiny Ruler (to build a potential Mask Change deck as Anki is in the same box as Canadia) x1 Dragonic Knight, x1 Ancient Gear Awakening and x1 Swordbound Silence already.

But if keys are a worry for you, I would recommend building a deck that gets you as high duel assessment score as possible. To get 7k-8k, you generally try to fulfill at least these conditions:

1. Deal over 3000 / 7000 / 9999 damage
2. Have 3 or less cards left in your deck. Bonus, if it's 1 or less card.
3. Have very low life points, like 100 LP. Bonus, if you start your last turn with less LP than your opponent.
(4. Summon a DIVINE attribute monster.)

For every 1k duel assessment score, you get one treasure chest, up to 8.

Winged Dragon of Ra - deck can do all of these things. 1. Control the field by stalling and/or suppressing the opponent. 2. Use cards like Golden Ladybug (or Solemn Wishes, that works too) to get as much LP as possible until you have over 10100LP, and then 3. summon Winged Dragon of Ra, converting all of your LP to ATK until you have only 100 LP left. 4. Then make sure there's 3 or less cards in your deck, and then either deal the finishing blow, or wait one turn to get Comeback Victory bonus.

You can probably find other farm decks that can get you a high score, but that's the method I know. Aromage/Ra deck typically gets me 7k-8k score per duel, without having to use up too many keys.

No need a farm deck itself. Turn x3 rewards under the duel & autoduel button.

So you suggest I just duel legendary duellists in the duel world for now and do x3 reward to increase the end duel reward for card drops? ignore the Gate until I can get a farm deck?

Whats your suggestion on a structure deck? I had thought of trying x3 Silent magician deck / blue-eyes deck or maybe just buying x2 more of the Ancient gear deck an joining the "current meta"

First of all: all the structures you have a huge potential to get into the meta ( ancient gear ).
Ignoring the gate its not that smart at all use x3 rewards ( this does not apply to legendary duelist while roaming out of the portal.)

I think I get what you're saying.... I shouldn't worry about a perfect farm deck too early on and should just focus on winning(maybe even losing) against Legendary Duelists at the gate and just use the x3 boost to get as much points as possible for more card drops to get cards I want/need

Since I'm Focusing on the Buster Blader deck I currently haven't spent a single gem outside of Power of Bravery, Crimson Kingdom and currently Valiant Souls just got my second Canadia last night. Once I've got my third I'm going back to get my third and final Whelp before "finishing" the main meat of the deck. From there I'll probably start buying doing one of two things.

1. Save every gem I get to build the "next big meta" OR Save every gem for any new packs which bring replacement UR/SR trap help.

2. Spend gems building NPC farm decks (Cloudian ect) / other generic meta deck UR/SR Trap an Spell cards which means emptying Dawn of Destiny once for x1 Super Head Rushlong since I can get a second from the special bundle sale, Severant of the kings twice for x2 Wall of D and if I feel like emptying a main box after Valiant of Souls I'll try get x2 - x3 Floodgate Traphole.

In the mean time I can easily build the Aromage Ra deck from the Card Trader but for some reason Jasmine hasn't show up at all.

*EDIT* I also forgot to mention i'm pretty close to finishing a quick draw Gate Gaurdian / Thunder Dragon farm deck using cards like Yatasu, Jar of Greed and Wonder Wand for draw power, the rest being Thunder Dragon, Poly and generic spellcasters
