I've managed to win 5 times against all of the duelists in the 1st tier, it was pretty simple really, they mostly play monsters that are weaker than the ones in your starter deck, so it's mostly a matter of playing the strongest monsters in your hand every turn and going for it. Now I'm up to the 2nd tier, on Duelist Kingdom, and I love how the 1st tier took place on the ship towards the island, and now you're on it, there's a sense of story and progression that the sequels to this somewhat lacked, at least until The Sacred Cards.

Weevil is the opponent your cursor is on top of when you enter the Duelist Kingdom screen, so I assume he's the duelist you're expected to take on before the others here, and it's quite the difficulty spike, he plays many monsters with high defence that are a struggle to get over with your starter deck monsters, and every once in a while he'll play something even tougher, Raigeki is a life safer here, but it doesn't guarantee a win, so I assume you're expected to either fuse or grind to get over his monsters.

I've looked up the fusions and the drop rates, and it's somewhat dissapointing, fusion seems to be similar to Forbidden Memories and Dark Duel Stories, mostly based on type rather than specific monsters, however it's a lot more specific here than in what was released after it, so I end up losing my monsters most of the time I try to fuse. As for grinding, most duelists in the 1st tier have very low attack drops, Joey seems to be the exception, so I'll keep playing against him, his victory bonuses are also the best by far, just a shame REBD is locked behind 100 wins.
