Skill

Skill (スキル, Sukiru) is a special rule characteristic of Speed Duels featured in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links and the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime.

Skills are special effects that each player can only use once per Duel. They may possess a number of effects, like improving a draw, increasing one's LP or enhancing a monster's ATK. They can be used during either player's turn. Skills appear to be procedurally-generated, though rather than being generated randomly like they would be in real world video games, they appear to be generated to fit a Duelist's deck and/or Dueling style. As seen with Playmaker and Revolver, multiple Duelists can share a given skill.

Skills can be hacked to do previously unheard-of abilities, such as the Double Draw skill used by a Knight of Hanoi.

The Duel Links Legend Deck Guide listed certain Skills as suggestions for casual play using the Legend Decks in the guide.
