Instructions for playing LIVE☆TWIN 2026

By Ljkad Published Mar 5, 2026 Updated Mar 26, 2026

LIVE☆TWIN, the Alime girl deck, has just received new support from the new mini-box in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.

This deck has been enhanced with Link 1, a new main monster, and a groundbreaking skill. LIVE☆TWIN 's signature gameplay lies in its ability to execute one-card combos. The core strategy of this deck focuses on continuously summoning cards to draw powerful hand traps and staples. Players then use these staples to disrupt the opponent's game and overwhelm them. Although this deck has a relatively high build cost due to its heavy reliance on staple cards, its superior game control capabilities will undoubtedly lead to overwhelming victories.

Skill

EX Code "Infinite Impermanence" (Skill Card) (If there are 3x Imperm)

This skill requires you to have at least one Infinite Impermanence Trap Card in your Main Deck to use it. The unique aspect of this skill is that it allows you to directly set a Infinite Impermanence Card from your hand or deck onto the field, provided there is a monster in the Extra Monster Zone or your opponent is controlling a monster.

This skill offers two huge advantages. The first is the ability to increase stability and filter cards when going first. If you choose to discard a Trap card from your hand, you get to draw a new card for free. More importantly, the skill allows you to shuffle two unnecessary cards from your hand to the bottom of your deck (ensuring you don't draw that card again) and draw an equal number of cards to search for important puzzle pieces or other staple cards. The second advantage is the ability to disrupt the game extremely effectively when going second. You can discard Infinite Impermanence from your deck into any column on the field. If your opponent has a face-down card in the back row (Spell/Trap), you simply discard Impermanence into the same column as that card. When you reveal Impermanence to negate an opponent's effect monster, Impermanence's natural effect will negate the card in the back row for the remainder of the turn.

Therefore, this skill provides an innate tool for effectively countering both your opponent's monsters and Spell/Trap cards simultaneously.

Princess Adena's Protection (Skill Card) (60%)

A skill that works on any deck: Fixes hand issues + Adds incredibly powerful free cards. For a deck that plays mostly Staples like Live Twin, this is truly an invaluable gift.

Precious Cards of the Light (Skill Card) (27%)

It also has extremely powerful Draw and Fix hand abilities, but it doesn't provide an additional body to link with like the Princess Adena skill.

Monsters in the Main Deck

Live☆Twin Ki-sikil (x3)

Live☆Twin Ki-sikil serves as one of the core combo starter cards in the deck. When you Normal Summon this card to the field, it activates an effect to Special Summon a Lil-la monster (like Lil-la) . The original card (or Lil-la Treat ) is from within your deck. Thanks to this ability, you only need a single card to instantly gather enough materials to summon Link.

Live☆Twin Lil-la (x2)

Similar to Ki-sikil , the Live☆Twin Lil-la monster is also an incredibly important starting card. When you perform a normal summon of this card, it allows you to directly summon a Ki-sikil monster from your deck to the field. These two original monsters always work together to help you quickly unleash continuous Link combo chains.

Live☆Twin Ki-sikil Frost (x2-3)

Live☆Twin Ki-sikil Frost serves as an incredibly powerful combo extender. If you have a Lil-la monster on the field, you can Special Summon this card directly from your hand. This ability is especially useful for maintaining your advantage and playing through your opponent's negative effects if your starter is affected.

Live☆Twin Lil-la Treat (x1)

Live☆Twin Lil-la Treat is also a combo expansion card that works exactly like Ki-sikil Frost. You can Special Summon this card from your hand if you have a Ki-sikil on your field. Using these expansion cards in your deck will ensure you always have enough resources to reach high-level Link monsters even if your opponent interferes.

Live☆Twin Lil-la Sweet (x1)

Live☆Twin Lil-la Sweet is an extender when in the Graveyard. When you use Link monsters to send this card from your deck to the Graveyard, it has the special ability to automatically summon it back to the field if you are controlling a Ki-sikil monster. Thanks to this amazing ability, you can easily maintain your monster count on the field to continue powerful Link summon chains even if your opponent interferes with Hand Traps.

A new ability for Lil-la This is precisely the ability to protect the Live☆Twin And it acts as a handtrap. For example, if you're preparing a combo and get hit by Veiler, Imperm, or any other trap card from your opponent, you can send this card from your hand to the graveyard to negate its effect.

Evil★Twins Ki-sikil & Lil-la (x0-1)

Despite being a boss monster, Evil★Twins Ki-sikil & Lil-la is rarely used. This card provides overwhelming attack power to complete OTK moves.

You can Special Summon this monster from the Graveyard by Tributing both Link monsters Ki-sikil and Lil-la on the field. Once both Link monsters are safely in the Graveyard, this giant monster will reach a power spike of 4400 attack points, allowing you to easily crush your opponent's life points with a single punch.

Spell/Trap

Secret Password (x0-3)

Searcher helps increase the stability of the entire team composition. You can activate this card to search for Sunny's Snitch or other Spell/Trap Live Twin cards from your deck to your hand. Thanks to this card, you can easily adjust your hand to counter your opponent's Hand Traps and ensure you always have the necessary pieces to start combo chains. Note that this card can search for "Evil Twin," not "Live Twin."

Because Sunny's Snitch has better search capabilities and decks that use a lot of Staples, this card is often omitted to make room for Staples and Cores. However, if you're a free-to-play player without enough Cores (x3), you can use this card as a replacement.

Live☆Twin Sunny's Snitch (x2-3)

The reason Live☆Twin Sunny's Snitch is the only Spell/Trap card of the Archetype that is so highly valued is because it serves as a perfect starting point for any of your moves.

When you activate this card, it allows you to directly summon any Live Twin monster from your deck to your hand. During combo execution, you can also proactively use the effect of the Link Lil-la monster to destroy this card on the field, freeing up space for other defensive trap cards.

Staple & Tech

Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny (x1)

Link 4 Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny is a boss monster with the ability to interfere severely during your opponent's turn. You can sacrifice this monster at any time to bring back both Link 2 monsters Ki-sikil and Lil-la to the field, thereby simultaneously activating the draw and destroy effects.

How to play

Gameplay Overview (How to play)

The Live Twin deck's gameplay revolves around one-card combos. Your core objective is to use the Live Twin framework to continuously draw cards, seeking out hand traps and staple cards to overwhelm your opponents.

You'll make the most of the " EX Code Infinite Impermanence " skill to directly place Trap cards from your deck onto the field, while simultaneously discarding cards from your hand to increase stability. When going second, you can place Impermanence Trap cards in the same column as your opponent's back row cards to disable both their monsters and Spell/Trap cards at the same time.
