What does the Auto icon do?
Posted On: January 24, 2023

When you're playing a Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel game, there are three icons in the bottom right (by default).


On the far right is a battle log which lists every action taken by both players (log icon).


In the middle is an i icon which shows numbers of cards in both decks and extra decks, in each player's hands, in each player's graveyards and in each player's banished zones.


And then, on the left, there's an auto icon which looks like an activated card.


What does it do exactly?


Edit: I googled it and found this, it says "Activation Confirmation Button", I guess for the monster, spell and trap cards that can be activated at some point.


But why is it "Auto"? What does it do when it's "Auto"?


Question from user prout at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

This is a common setting in Yu-Gi-Oh games. It controls whether the "do you wish to activate a card?" prompt automatically appears when a player makes an action that you can respond to.


Suppose you have a Quick-Play Spell card face-down on the field, such as Graceful Dice. Any time either player performs an action that you can use to trigger a Chain (i.e. any almost action that isn't a Counter Trap), the game will prompt you as to whether you wish to activate a card, and pause until you select "yes" or "no".


Changing this setting from "Auto" to "Manual" means that the game will not automatically prompt you — you will have to keep track of what is going on and press/hold a button to indicate that you wish to activate a card when you wish to do so, which will cause the game to bring up the prompt when it is possible/permitted to do so. (This is closer to the gameplay experience when using physical cards).
