Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel | Duel Pass, points and points explained

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel was Konami’s first attempt at building a live-service version of its popular card game using similar formats that players could physically participate in. This means that developers have added in some features that have become weak in the game-as-a-service space.

One such feature is the Duel Pass, Master Duel’s Use the popular battle pass system that rewards players who regularly play the game.

The Duel Pass is divided into the Free to Play Normal Duel Pass and the Premium Gold Duel Pass. Both give players rewards like Craft Points (CP), Gems, and other items as they climb up the ranks, known as Ranks.

While all players have access to the Duel Pass, the main points come from Ranked Duel and Event Duel, not from casual play. These points can then be exchanged for various bonus items and level up your Duel Pass Rank.

As you continue to climb the ranks, it takes more Duel Pass points to move up the Rank, capped at 100 on the premium level. Here is the full list of Rank requirements for each iteration of the Duel Pass:

• Grade 2 to 10—50 points
• Grade 11 to 15—60 points
• Grades 16 to 20—70 points
• Grades 21 to 25—80 points
• Grades 26 to 30—90 points
• Grade 31 and above — 100 points

For each Ranked or Event Duel, you earn between 50 and 100 points just for competing, or 120 points for winning a match. You will not get points if you surrender a match.

While the Duel Pass Normal is available to all players, it only goes up to Level 50 before it expires. Duel Pass Gold unlocks the premium track, essentially doubling your rewards for the first 50 Ranks and granting players access to Tiers 51 to 100.

You can buy Duel Pass Gold in the Store for 600 Gems, which can be purchased for $10 via microtransactions if you don’t have a ready Gem yet.
