In order to advance each duelist must obtain 7 WDC Chips, one for each duel that was one. The duelists then have to make their way to the tower in the middle of the city to begin the finals.

Finals
The finals of the WDC are accessible when a duelist has obtained 7 WDC chips and has successfully made their way to the Greendale Tower. Once inside the Tower the duelists are allowed to rest and await the selection for the order of the final duels. Once the duel order is established each player must make it to a different floor, each one is a forced field spell that cannot be replaced during the duel. Only the four strongest duelists will make it to the top of the tower to fight for the title of World Champion, the two strongest then fight the final duel to decide the tournament winner.
