Instructions for playing Hieratics
overview
Skill
Ready for Victory
This skill seems quite suitable for a deck that carries monsters of the same level as Hieratics . Most players use it to increase the ATK of Xyz monsters instead of Beatdown! (only increases ATK for monsters with level 5 or higher) or The Tie that Binds (only increases ATK by 100 points for each monster on the field and because of the format of Duel Links, you only increase 300ATK). That's why this skill is used more.
Destiny Draw (Skill Card) (50% used)
Still the unique Skill of Saint Yugi, I always recommend this Skill for any deck because of its decisiveness. With the price of 2000 life points in exchange for the card that decides the match, it's worth it. Therefore, this is also a very good and reasonable Skill search for you to use throughout PvP matches, Rank,...
