When you're light on Morphons and there's a Duel event, don't be discouraged. There's a chance for any Morphon-light competitor to be at least somewhat competitive, and possibly steal the show from more heralded opponents. Consider the below options:
Head: Neural Gladiator
Min Level: 36
Crystal: 320
Attribute: Stun +8
I find Stun to be an underrated aspect of this game, if you can regularly chain stun on top of whatever damage you inflict you get the benefit of not only getting multiple turns at damaging the enemy, but also preventing them from inflicting their own stuns or chances at damaging you.
Core: Demon Blood
Min Level: 8
Crystal: 50
Attribute: Damage per Supernatural +2, Resist Physical 25, Resist Tech 25, Strike +500, Move +5%
Strike appears to be more important than given credit for in duels. Getting the first hit in would make Stun more useful, and you can't go wrong with movement bonus.
Arm: Phrenic Arms
Min Level: 42
Crystal: 234
Attribute: Stun +6
To be honest, Arms have probably the weakest selection of crystal options. I'd trust the Stun more than a comparatively low Strike boost from the Bracer of Aiming or the Armband of Striking. Null Field Generator has utility but against morphon fiends is likely only delaying the inevitable.
Leg: Arthurian Greaves
Min Level: 6
Crystal: 120 (also a drop from Valkyrie)
Attributes: Block +350, Resist Supernatural 12
For duels, Legs is even more scant in quality than Arms when it comes to crystal options. There frankly isn't much between the 6 crystal options, so perhaps bite the bullet and use your precious morphons on Exo-Greaves (if level 26 and up) instead.
Boot: Wheeled Heels
Min Level: 41
Crystal: 238
Attribute: Move +400, Move +4%
Unlike Legs, Boots have no shortage of useful options. For crystal only I prefer pure movement boosts from the Wheeled Heels. If you have morphons of course, Screaming Wheels are a quality buy. Over time, any of the other morphon leg pieces will be of great use.
Ring: Chrono Ring
Min Level: None
Crystal: 36
Attribute: Move +122
The rings for crystal aren't great for duels unless you're supplementing heavy damage (e.g. Astral Band with a Mental-heavy suit). So bump up the movement stat a tad here with the only ring that offers movement boost.
Wrist: Grappling Hook
Min Level: 40
Bux: 1300
Attribute: Move +240, Reduce Foe Dodge 200
Two of the best things in a gear piece for duels are covered here. Grab these and don't look back. Wristband of the Depths is a decent morphon option, but again if morphons are in short supply, save them for another gear slot.
