Link Regulation Event Ranking

Carrying over from the Duelist Cup event, players will be Ranked when participating in the Link Regulation Special Duel. This allows the player to Duel against other players of the same rank, making for a fair experience.

Players will begin the event having the same Rank as they do in Standard Ranked Duels. For example, if you are currently in Platinum 5 in the current season (Season 10), then you will begin the Link Regulation Event as Platnium 5.

Take note, however, that the season determining the player's starting rank will depend on where the event is held.

Link Regulation Event Missions

There are Event-exclusive missions available for players to clear as incentive to contiue participating. Try to clear out the missions whenever possible!
