How to Use Link Summon

Link Summons are another way of summoning monsters in the field using other monsters as material. Learn how to perform Link Summons in the game, and how to make their effects work.

How to Use Link Summon

Use Monsters as Link Material

To begin a Link Summon, you need to use Monster Cards in the field as summoning material. The number of monsters that you need as tribute is dependent on the link number on the bottom right corner of the card.

Conduct the Link Summon

Once all of the Monster Cards on the field are present, you can begin the Link Summon by going to your Extra Deck and picking which Link Monster to Summon.

After selecting the Link Monster, pick the Monster Cards that you will use as a Tribute Summon and place the Link Monster on the field.

Pointing Arrows Activate Card Effects

Link Monsters have arrows which point at different directions. If these arrows point at cards present on the field, you can activate effects, such as an ATK boost or activating or negating card effects.

Keep Link Rating in Mind

Before summoning Link Monsters, make sure that you have enough Monsters to use as material, since you want to maximize the monster's effects to allow you to gain an advantage.
