List of Contents
For the following versions of the Tryout Duels, there are three different dates slated for each of the mini-events, with each one having special rules imposed during Duels!
| # | Duration | Format |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | December 24 - 28, 2025 | 30 Seconds |
| #2 | December 30, 2025 - January 3, 2026 | 2026 LP |
| #3 | January 4 - 8, 2026 | UNDER-SR |

Round 1 of the Tryout Duel event has players participate in Duels where the time limit is set to only thirty seconds. There is no time to second guess moves with the timer being so short!

|---|
| December 24 - 28, 2025 Event has not yet begun |

Round 2 of the Tryout Duel event celebrates the incoming new year in a challenging way, as this forces both players to start a Duel with only 2026 Life Points. A single attack may very well end the Duel quickly!
| Tryout Duel - Extreme Duel No. 2 - 2026 LP |
|---|
| December 30, 2025 - January 3, 2026 Event has not yet begun |

Round 3 of the Tryout Duels has a brand new format similar to the N/R Rarity format, where only cards with the rarity SR and below are allowed in Decks!
| Tryout Duel - Extreme Duel No. 3 - UNDER-SR |
|---|
| January 4 - 8, 2026 Event has not yet begun |

Like in previous iterations of he Tryout Duels event, players have to win three Duels to win a free Card Pack from the most recent Card Pack.
The important thing to note is that the wins do not have to be one after another; accumulating a number of wins is the key to getting the rewards.
