Defeating Egyptian God monsters
Send all Marshals against DarkNite (Nitemare). Have the first two monsters attack and have the third monster use escape ( [L] ). Repeat until the monster faints.
Egyptian God monster use
You may only use the Egyptian God monsters once. Think carefully about when you want to use them. When you get an Egyptian item (Slifer's Orb, Soul of Obelisk, and the Eye of Ra), be careful when you want to use it, because you cannot buy it again from the trader.
The items used to summon the Egyptian Gods cannot be replenished at any base and can only be use once per mission, but are refilled after every mission. However, only a Marshal with the ability "Master Of The Egyptian Gods" can use the Egyptian God items. If any other Marshal does, it will not appear .They are best saved for enemy Marshals that you must defeat at the end of each mission.
God items
If you complete the game more than once, you may get more than one of the God "items" (Obelisk's Soul, Slifer's Orb, Ra's Eye). If so, you can use the God once for every God "item" that you have.
Great Harpie team
The Harpie Ladies make a great team after they learn their special combo move. Also, if you give each of them an Electro-Whip (no power-up, but they paralyze the enemy almost every time they attack), a Monster Reborn, and a Red Medicine, they can be unstoppable. The best part is that you can find them all on Yugi's campaign and none of them fight you. Find them by doing the following. For Harpie Lady (Airo), when Mai joins you on Badlands mission in Yugi's campaign, it is on her team. For Harpie Lady (Ocupete), send any Marshal southwest of Ce-Reizo on Break Free mission in Yugi's campaign with another Harpie Lady as the middle monster on the team. For Harpie Lady (Keraino), liberate Kaepe-Town on the Banishment mission in Yugi's campaign. Note: Whenever you replay Yugi's campaign on the mission where Mai joins you, you cannot use Harpie Lady (Airo) because she is on Mai's team. However, this only happens for that mission and when you get her back she will be just the way you left her.
Defeating the Boss

Recommended Challenge mode characters
Go to challenge mode and select the Yugi side. Select Mia as your character. Then, select all three Harpie Ladies. Give them all Electro Whip. Use your special every time and your opponent will die in two turns.
First, get the Swamp Battleguard, then the Lava Battleguard and choose one other monster. The Swamp Battleguard and the Lava Battleguard work together. Use their special twice and you will not lose unless you did not bring along a Monster Reborn or Red Medicine.
The best "Challenge" team is a Dunamas Dark Witch with two Gift Of The Mystical Elf and a Mirror Force, a Kuribo with three Multiplies, and a Summoned Skull with three Hinotamas.
Level up
Get your monsters to level up as much as you can, then die. You will still have the same stats. Do it again.
Faster recharge for cannons
After you use a cannon, it starts back at the beginning. If you switch it to something else, then switch it back, it will turn halfway.
Stop opponent from using blue/red medicine, etc.
Use this trick when facing a Boss marshal that keeps healing his monsters every time you do damage to them with a never-ending supply of red/blue medicine. Keep pressing [B] when it is your turn to make a monster do something, so that you save your yellow ability power stars. When all of your opponent's monsters are done attacking, focus on defeating one monster of theirs and keep attacking it. With no action points remaining to heal with, you will have a distinct advantage even over the toughest of foes.
Good attack force
Every time you encounter a new marshal and add him/her to your team, they will most likely have a powerful monster in their first slot, and two underlings beside it. Take all of the powerful monsters from your marshals and give them to Yugi, or another important marshal on your team. Then when you attack someone, you can do heavy damage with three powerful monsters instead of wasting two attacks by doing small amounts of damage.
Get compatibility balls matched up
Go through your sets of monsters and put the monsters with the closest colored computability balls to a specific marshal on their team. By doing this, sooner or later all of your monsters will have a power-up boost.
Better monster stats
After you complete Yugi's, Joey's, and Kaiba's story modes, go to any of the three. For Yugi, make the Dark Magician into the Magician Of Black Chaos. Then go back to the Beastly Badlands. Get the Dark Magician and it will be at 2900 ATK instead of 2500. This works with any monster that has a ritual transformation.
Second chance at defeating wild monsters
When you lose to a wild monster and you want to defeat it, let the timer run out or lose with Yugi, Kaiba, or Joey (only Joey in Joey's story). The message "Our forces are falling apart; we can't keep fighting" will appear. You will return to the map. Press [Start] to start the stage again, then go to the same location where you found the monster. The monster will appear again.
Challenge mode
Defeat everyone at least once. When you go to "Load Game", there will be a challenge mode with all of your items from the three stories.
Completing challenge mode
Have Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Dark Magician #2. Level them up so that the Dark Magicians can use Dark Burning Magic. Equip Rageki and Mirror Force and Red Medicine or a Dien Keto Cure Master. You should not have a problem with challenge mode.
Recommended challenge mode team
Use the following monsters and items. Note: Level up Dark Magicain and Magician Of Black Chaos so that they both can use Dark Burning Magic.

Soul of Obolisk
Dian Keto the Cure Master
