Dueling

• 1). Choose either one of the preset decks or build your own. If you're building your own, build it to cover all potential attacks and have enough cards capable of restoring your cards if they take damage. For example, have a card with an ice specialty to combat fire enemies, a card with a lightning specialty to combat water enemies, etc.
  
  
• 2). Select the appropriate card to combat your enemy's actions during the duel. This game is entirely made up of duels, and this will be where your card selection comes into play. If your deck is balanced, you should be able to combat any enemy attack.
  
  
• 3). Defeat the enemy by taking out all his cards. You'll probably lose some cards in the process, but each lost card should give you a better idea of how to handle those cards in the future.
