When building an equip deck, it is advisable to use the best equip spells in Yugioh. Equip spells are used to strengthen monsters and add special attributes to them. However, not all equip spells have the same effects; some have more diverse effects. They can only be equipped to face-up monsters and cannot be equipped to face-down monsters. Also, the effect of the cards can only be effective as long as they are face-up on the field. In the event that an Equip Spell Card is destroyed, its effects disappear. Listed below are some of the best Equip Spells in Yugioh.
