Action Duel

An Action Duel, is a new type of Dueling in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V series.

An Action Duel occurs with the help of "touchable Solid Visions". These Solid Visions surround the entire field and the Duel takes place in the entire area. Unlike previous Yu-Gi-Oh! series, the monsters Summoned during these Duels are real enough to let Duelists interact with them, as seen when Yuya rode on "Entermate Discover Hippo". In an Action Duel, a Field Spell Card is activated before the Duel starts. Action Cards are scattered throughout the field, to which a Duelist is supposed to find them to aid them. When an Action Card is found, it is placed in the hand and can be use right away as if it was a Quick-Play Spell Card. When a card is activated, a player can find and use the Action Cards they found to pay the cost if necessary as shown when Yuya played "Wonder Balloon" and discarded the Action Cards he found to pay the cost if it requires discarding. However, to discourage duelists from simply hoarding Action Cards, a player may only hold on to one Action Card at a time. Similar to Riding Duel rules, a duelist, and in this case the monster, can evade attacks as the duelist has until the attack connects to respond with an effect and can continue to search for an Action Card to play. This adds an additional dimension to duels where a duelist can use the environment to evade while discovering Action Cards he finds to respond with.

Action Duels started when the Leo Corporation invented "Solid Vision with mass". It started in Maiami City and is now popular throughout the world. The Solid Vision with mass is created by a huge device located under the Duel field, which seems to be operated by a person from a control panel. When the Field Spell Card is activated, the device produces several beams of light, which creates the Solid Visions.
