Using high DEF monsters to force link attacks is a good way to stall, due to the size limit rule link attacking will usually leave you with nothing left to attack with, effectively stopping you from dealing damage that turn, there's also soulguarding to make it harder for the opponent to attack directly (unless they have penetrate). There are also several attack negating cards which will probably be quite staple, and several spells that heal life, like Invigorating Breath.
