* ItsEasySoItSucks: The A.I. in this game is laughably easy to break and [[ZergRush Zerg Rushing]] is a simple yet effective way to overcome most opponents with a bit of practice. As a result about 90% of the game is a slow slog of grinding weak players and collecting dice to fill out your collection until you can challenge higher ranked players to unlock better rewards. It's not quite a bad game but fans who dislike the slow mechanics and low level of overall difficulty will probably be in for a bad time.

* FandomEnragingMisconception: Saying: "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries So it's just like duel monsters.]]" Is a rather good way to enrage anyone who's actually taken the time to learn the game, as, despite sharing several monsters between the two, the two games are ultimately very different in how they play out.

** Blast Lizard is one from the initial release. By spending the needed ability crest in the ascending amount for each monster level, Blast Lizard can ''nuke any monster, anywhere on the field''. It's a major reason most HouseRules have him banned.

** Exodia The Forbidden One. He's not an InstantWinCondition like in the card game or GBA adaptation but he might as well be. Here he's a level 4 monster with 20 ATK/DEF/HP across the board and two nasty effects: one, he doubles all Crests rolled by his controller while he is on the field and two, he is immune to any attack that doesn't come from a monster with Flying or Tunneling. Rolling doubles each turn will quickly fill out a player's Crest Pool with anything and everything they need to curbstomp their opponent with attacks and special abilities while the power to NoSell 90% of the attacks in the game give Exodia great survivability even with his average stats. Unless dealt with immediately upon summoning (which is easier said than done given his potent attack immunities) he quickly allows the player who summoned him to control the remainder of the game and crush the opponent before they can ever hope to catch up.
** Battle Warrior has gone from being one of the weakest monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh to one of the strongest. With decent battle stats and a handful of very useful abilities it can provide support to its owner no matter when it hits the table and has a lot of situations it can take advantage of. Best of all? It's an effortlessly easy to summon level 1 that can go toe to toe with even some level 2 or 3 monsters and come out on top. When it comes to cost vs effectiveness ratio it almost can't be beat, though it does have one good competitor to challenge its crown...

** Darkfire Dragon is similar to Battle Warrior in terms of brokenness and has similarly potent stats for a mere level 1. In addition to its appealing 20 ATK / 10 DEF / 20 HP it gives the player a valuable Movement Crest when summoned and at the cost of 1 Magic Crest can even gain Flying for a turn. This gives it great survivability and versatility at a cheap cost and allows it to remain useful even if summoned later on in the game.

** Time Wizard is a Level 1 monster who destroys any Monster with the least ATK when he's summoned. He's considered one of the best monsters in the game, if not THE best monster, due to his ease of summing and his ability to remove your opponent's first turn summon and any problematic low-ATK monsters they have.

* JunkRare: The [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Beautiful_Headhuntress_(DDM) Beautiful Headhuntress]] is one of the most useless monsters players could ever hope to pull despite it coming from the rare [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Wrath Ultimate Wrath]] expansion set, one of the very last boosters ever released for the American edition of the game before it was cancelled due to low sales. She only has 20 HP, 10 attack points, 10 defense points... ''and no effects''! Not too bad for a level 1 monster you might say? That's the main problem, she ''isn't'' a level 1 or even a level 2... she's a '''level 3''' monster, the second hardest type to summon after level 4! Not only is she completely outclassed stats wise by easy to summon level 1 junk monsters, she doesn't even have a good effect to make up for it like other low stat level 2's and 3's do! As a result, most players consider her to be the ''single worst monster'' in the entire game, which is really saying something considering how many garbage level 1's and 2's there are in it.
