"Red Nova Dragon":


  • A fairly easily OTK can be performed with this card in a "Chimeratech Overdragon" Deck, as long as a good number of Machine-Type Tuner monsters are included in the Deck, of which there are many.
  • After this is Synchro Summoned, use "Call of the Haunted" to bring back "Red Dragon Archfiend" and clear the opponent's field with "Scarlet Security" and "Raigeki" for an OTK (at least 3 Tuners will be needed in the player's Graveyard).
  • Use with "Soul Absorption" to gain 500 Life Points every time an attack is negated.
  • This card can be combined with "Zero Force" because this meets the banish requirements and can do some massive damage.
  • Combine this card with "Armory Arm" to have massive damage, and attack boost.
    • Another idea is to use "Junk Barrage", since it is easier to bring out.
  • Combine this card with "Lord of D." or "King Dragun" to make this card untargetable to opponent's Spell, Trap or monster effects, making this a very difficult monster to destroy.
  • Use "Card Trooper" to mill Tuners from your Deck to the Graveyard, in order to power up both this card and "Card Trooper".
    • "Dark Grepher" can also be used to choose the Tuners to send to the Graveyard, though they must be DARK Attribute and a Dark monster is needed in your hand each time.
  • Special Summon a Level 2 Tuner, then activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Summon three while there are a Level 6 monster on your field, allowing yourself to Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" and this card in a single turn.
  • If your opponent uses a card like "Shadow Spell" or "Nightmare Wheel" to prevent this card from attacking, use a card like Staunch Defender to force your opponent to attack this card with all of their monsters, then use this card's effect to banish itself to negate the last attack. This move will most likely destroy most of your opponent's monsters and the card that stopped this monster from being able to attack.

Synchro Summoning[edit]

  • This card can easily be Synchro Summoned with three cards in hand: "Unknown Synchron", "Dark Armed Dragon" and "Junk Synchron".
    • Special Summon "Unknown Synchron" by its own effect. Then, with 3 DARK monsters in your Graveyard, Special Summon "Dark Armed Dragon" (and feel free to use its effect and other field-clearing cards to make way for "Red Dragon Archfiend"). Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" with "Unknown Synchron" and "Dark Armed Dragon". Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and use its effect to Special Summon "Unknown Synchron" from your Graveyard. Synchro Summon this card.
      • If the effect of "Dark Armed Dragon" is used and banished all your other DARK monsters from your Graveyard to destroy cards on the field, then after Synchro Summoning this card successfully, "Monster Reincarnation" can be used to discard a non-DARK monster, retrieve "Dark Armed Dragon", and Summon it onto the field. Then, depending on that monster's Attribute, banish it and a DARK monster to Special Summon monsters like "Dark Simorgh" and "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" to get an OTK. (If "Red Dragon Archfiend" is banished, then this card stays at 4500 ATK).* In a Synchro Deck, Synchro Change" can be used to banish a Level 8 Synchro Monster to Special Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" from your Extra Deck, then "Junk Synchron" can be Normal Summoned to Special Summon "Unknown Synchron", and finally, this card can be Synchro Summoned.* This card can be Synchro Summoned in 1 turn if "The Tricky", "Junk Synchron", "Creation Resonator", and any Level 1 Tuner is in your hand.
    • Discard the Level 1 Tuner to Special Summon "The Tricky". Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and Special Summon the Level 1 Tuner from the Graveyard. Tune "Junk Synchron" with "The Tricky" for "Red Dragon Archfiend." Special Summon "Creation Resonator" with its own effect. Then, Synchro Summon this card.* If there is "The Tricky", "Junk Synchron", "Plaguespreader Zombie" and "Foolish Burial" in your hand, this card can be Synchro Summoned in 1 turn.
    • Use "Foolish Burial" to send any Level 2 Tuner to the Graveyard. Discard "Plaguespreader" to Special Summon "The Tricky". Normal summon "Junk Synchron" and Special Summon the dumped Level 2 Tuner. Tune "Junk Synchron" with "The Tricky" for "Red Dragon Archfiend". Special Summon "Plaguespreader Zombie" with its own effect and Synchro Summon this card.* When using "Fableds", it can be Summoned in 1 turn with "Fabled Raven", two copies of "The Fabled Cerburrel" and "The Fabled Ganashia". Normal Summon "Fabled Raven", and use its effect to discard the 2 "Cerburrel" and "Ganashia". Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" by using "Raven" and "Ganashia", then Synchro this card with "Red Dragon Archfiend" and the 2 "Cerburrel".* "Deep Sea Diva" can be Summoned to Special Summon another "Deep Sea Diva" and tune it with a "Red Dragon Archfiend" to Synchro Summon this card.* Given that "Red Dragon Archfiend" will likely survive a turn on its own, "Junk Synchron" can be used, if it's in your hand, to Special Summon a Level 1 Tuner monster from the Graveyard, like "Sinister Sprocket", to allow this card's Synchro Summon. Plus, 1 face-up Spell or Trap your opponent controls can be destroyed, due to the effect of "Sinister Sprocket".* Use the effect of "Twilight Rose Knight" to Summon "Copy Plant" and fulfill the Tuner requirements for this card.
    • Use "Hanewata" with "Court of Justice" to Special Summon "Counselor Lily" to fulfill the Tuner monster requirements and give this card an extra 1000 ATK by paying 500 Life Points.* Use the effect of "Infernity Beetle" to Summon two more of itself can provide the two Tuners required for this card's Summoning as well as making its ATK into 5000, providing there are no cards in your hand.
    • This card can be Summoned in one turn if there is "Dark Grepher", "One for One", "Infernity Avenger" and "Infernity Beetle" in your hand. First Normal Summon "Dark Grepher", then discard "Infernity Avenger" to dump "Infernity Necromancer". Discard "Infernity Beetle" with "One for One" to get out "Infernity Mirage". Tribute "Mirage" to Special Summon 'Necromancer" and "Avenger" and use the effect of "Necromancer" to Special Summon "Beetle". Tribute "Beetle" to Special Summon 2 more copies. Tune "Avenger", "Grepher" and "Necromancer" to Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend", and then tune that with the 2 "Beetles" to Summon this card. It will then have 5500 ATK due to the 3 "Beetles" and the "Avenger".
      • Another way to Summon this card in one turn is to use "Infernity Launcher", "Elemental HERO Bubbleman", and an "Infernity Beetle". First, Normal Summon "Infernity Beetle". Activate "Infernity Launcher", then use the effect of "Bubbleman" to Special Summon itself. Use the effect of "Infernity Beetle" to get out two more, tune for a Level 6 Synchro, then "Red Dragon Archfiend". Use "Infernity Launcher" to get back your two "Beetles", then tune for this card.* Special Summoning "Plaguespreader Zombie" allows yourself to Normal Summon a second Tuner.
    • Similarly, "Emergency Teleport" can be used and Special Summon "Krebons" from your Deck.* The 2 Tuners can be Summoned quickly by using "Telekinetic Power Well" by bringing back 2 of either "Krebons" and/or "Psychic Jumper" that might be used to Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend".
    • One way is to Summon a "Cyber Dragon"/"Vice Dragon"/"Oracle of the Sun", then using "One for One" by discarding 1 of the Psychics to Summon "Level Eater" (for later use). Then Normal Summon the second Psychic to make "Red Dragon Archfiend". Then, use "Telekinetic Power Well" to Summon the 2 Psychics from your Graveyard.* Special Summon "Vice Dragon" through its own effect and Summon "Dark Resonator" normally to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend". Then, Special Summon "Synchro Magnet" through its effect and use a card like "Double Summon" to Summon "Sinister Sprocket" or even better "Attack Gainer", which will reduce the ATK of 1 monster your opponent controls by 1000.* It can also be Summoned easily in a "Flamvell" Deck, considering the monsters in your Graveyard when "Rekindling" is activated, any Level 4 monster can be Special Summoned, "Flamvell Magician", "Neo Flamvell Origin"/"Flamvell Archer", "Flamvell Baby" and "Flamvell Firedog". Combine the Level 4 monster with "Flamvell Magician" to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" then combine it with your other 2 Tuners to Synchro Summon this card, having a total of 6900 ATK on the field, in addition to a Normal Summon this turn, an OTK could easily be performed.
    • This also works in a "Laval" Deck, using "Rekindling" to Summon 2 "Laval Volcano Handmaiden, 2 "Laval Lakeside Lady" and 1 "Laval Magma Cannoneer". In this case, Synchro Summon an intermediate Level 5 monster before Summoning "Red Dragon".* This card can be Synchro Summoned with a "Destiny HERO - Malicious" in the Graveyard. Special Summon "Krebons" with "Emergency Teleport" or "Graceful Revival", and use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get two more "Krebons" out. Then banished the "Malicious" in the Graveyard to Special Summon another from your Deck. Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend" using "Malicious" and the first "Krebons". Then tune "Red Dragon Archfiend" with the two "Krebons" to Synchro Summon this card.* "Red Screen" could be activated to bring out a Level 1 Tuner and use "Synchro Magnet" when "Red Dragon Archfiend" is Summoned to Summon this card.
    • Another option is to use "Creation Resonator" instead of "Synchro Magnet".* If "Red Dragon Archfiend" is in your Graveyard, cards like "Descending Lost Star", "Wicked Rebirth" or "Call of the Haunted" can be used to bring it back.
    • If "Descending Lost Star" was used, the total Levels of the Tuner monsters must equal 5.
      • "Debris Dragon" can be Normal Summoned and revive a Level 1 Tuner from the Graveyard.
      • "Junk Synchron" can be Normal Summoned and revive a Level 2 Tuner from the Graveyard.* In a Dragon Deck based around "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", and there already a Level 6 Dragon such as "Prime Material Dragon" on your field before hand, Special Summon "Magna Drago" and follow up with "Inferno Reckless Summon" to have 3 copies of "Magna Drago". Tune a "Magna" with the "Prime" for "Red Dragon Archfiend" and tune the other 2 copies of "Magna Drago" to get yourself this card.* In a "Dragunity" Deck, thhus card can be Summoned in one turn by having "Dragunity Dux" and "Inferno Reckless Summon" in your hand, as well as at least one "Dragunity Phalanx" in the Graveyard and 2 more in the Graveyard, hand or Deck. Normal Summon "Dragunity Dux", equip with "Dragunity Phalanx", Special Summon "Phalanx" and chain "Inferno Reckless Summon", Special Summoning 2 more copies of it. Tune one of them with "Dux" for "Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana", equip with the "Phalanx" that was used for the Synchro Summon, Special Summon and tune with "Vajrayana" for "Red Dragon Archfiend". Synchro Summon this card by using "Red Dragon Archfiend" and the 2 remaining "Phalanxens". The downside to this is that your opponent needs to have at least one face-up monster on the field, and they may Summon all the copies from their Deck, hand or Graveyard.* "Hyper Synchron", "Cost Down" and the effect of "Plaguespreader Zombie" can be used to Synchro Summon this card with a 1500-ATK boost via its own effect.* In "Karakuri" Deck, Special Summon "Cyber Dragon", Normal Summon "Karakuri Komachi mdl 224 "Ninishi"", use its effect to Normal Summon "Karakuri Barrel mdl 96 "Shinkuro"", Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend", then use "Machine Duplication" on "Barrel" to Summon a second copy and finally Synchro Summon this card.* "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" can be Summoned on the second turn and Special Summon "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind". Tune them to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend". Activate "One for One", then discard a Tuner monster to Summon a Level 1 Tuner monster. Then activate the Spell Card "Double Summon" to Summon a Level 3 Tuner monster. Finally, Synchro Summon this card.
    • Alternatively, this card can be Summoned by having "Red Dragon Archfiend" on the field and Summoning "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North"; then, use its effect to Special Summon "Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield". this means that both of your Tuners will be brought to the field with ease.* In a Dragon Deck, make sure to have 1 Tuner in your hand and Graveyard a total of Level 4 while there is "Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" on your field. Use the effect of "Darkness Metal Dragon" to Special Summon "Lava Dragon" in Defense Position, Tribute it to Special Summon the Tuner monsters and Synchro them for "Red Dragon Archfiend". The Tuner monster that can be used for this card are "Magna Drago" and/or "Dread Dragon" and "Flamvell Guard" or "The White Stone of Legend" with "Delta Flyer".* If there is "Eccentric Boy", 1 Level 5 monster, "One for One", "Synchro Magnet", and one monster card in your hand, this card can be Synchro Summoned in one turn.* This card can be Synchro Summoned on your first turn if your hand contains the following; "Trident Warrior" or "Goblindbergh", "Delta Flyer", "Jester Confit", "D. D. Sprite" and "Creation Resonator"
    1. Normal Summon "Trident Warrior" or "Goblindbergh".
    2. Use the effect of "Trident Warrior"/"Goblindbergh" to Special Summon "Delta Flyer".

    4. Tune them to Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend".

    11. Tune "Junk Synchron" with "The Tricky" for "Red Dragon Archfiend".
    12. Special Summon "Creation Resonator" or "Synchro Magnet" with its own effect.
    13. Tune "Creation Resonator" or "Synchro Magnet", a Level 1 Tuner, and "Red Dragon Archfiend" for this card with 5000 ATK.* Tribute Summon "Puppet Master" and use its effect to Summon "Dark Tinker" and "Sinister Sprocket", then tune "Puppet Master" and "Dark Tinker" to Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend", then Special Summon "Creation Resonator" or "Synchro Magnet" and use those three to Summon this card in a single turn.* Use cards like "Eccentric Boy" or "T.G. Cyber Magician" to ease the Summoning of this card since only 1 Tuner is needed on the field.* In "Resonator" Deck, after Synchro Summoning of this card, "Call of the Haunted" to bring back "Red Dragon Archfiend", and then activate "Red Carpet", bringing back your "Resonators" from the Graveyard to Summon another copy of this card.* Once your "Red Dragon Archfiend" is Summoned, Special Summon "Creation Resonator" from your hand, and then use "Call of the Haunted" (or "Red Screen", which was made for this combo) to bring back a Level 1 Tuner from the Graveyard like "Barrier Resonator".* In an "Atlantean" Deck, "Call of the Atlanteans" might be activated during your opponent's End Phase to Special Summon 2 Level 3 non-Tuner and 1 Level 2 Tuner Sea-Serpent monsters. During your next turn, Normal Summon "Deep Sea Diva" and Special Summon another "Reese the Ice Mistress". Tune the 2 Level 3 non-Tuner Sea-Serpent monsters and the Level 2 Tuner into "Red Dragon Archfiend", finally Synchro Summon this card.* This card can be Summoned in an "Inca" Deck quite easily.

Sprite". Then, Synchro Summon this card.* In a teched "Fabled"/"Dark World" Deck, Summon "Fabled Raven" and discard a "Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World" or "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World". Synchro Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend". Then use the effect of "Fabled Kushano" (if it's in the Graveyard) and discard "Fabled Krus" to bring back "Fabled Raven". Use the effect of "Raven" and discard "Glow-up Bulb" to make it a Level 3 and send the top card to the Graveyard to bring back "Glow-up Bulb" and tune it with "Raven" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" to make this card with an attack of 4500 or 5000 if a Tuner is send with "Glow-up Bulb".* If there is a "Red Dragon Archfiend" in your field, Special Summon a "Creation Resonator" from your hand and "Glow-Up Bulb" from your Graveyard to the field, giving yourself 2 Tuners to Synchro Summon this card.

Traditional Format[edit]

  • Another way to boost the attack of this card is to use "Future Fusion", sending 5 Dragon-Type Tuner monsters from the Deck to the Graveyard for the requirement of "Five-Headed Dragon", giving this card a 2500 ATK bonus.* This card can perform an OTK in a Psychic Deck by using "Mind Master" and "Brain Research Lab" or "Telekinetic Charging Cell". Mill at least 7 Tuners and then tune "Red Dragon Archfiend" with "Mind Master" and "Psychic Commander" to Synchro Summon this card. If your opponent has no monsters and "Destructotron" is used during the milling process, 8000 ATK can be attack directly. (9 Tuners in the Graveyard.)* Activate "Double Summon". Normal Summon "Summoner Monk". Then, activate its effect and Special Summon any Level 4 Tuner monster.

Tune two with "Destructotron" to get "Red Dragon Archfiend". Then use the last to mill as many Psychic Tuners as possible with "Mind Master" and end with "Psychic Commander".
