• Ways to benefit from this card include "D.D. Survivor", "D.D. Scout Plane" and "Verz Thanatos".

• Use "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" or "Dimensionhole" on another monster before Special Summoning this card.

• The least amount of cards needed to obtain each type of Monster Card without setting up your Graveyard or Banished Zone beforehand:
  • Synchro Monster and Xyz Monster: overall, 1 card lost. "Card Destruction", 3 "Dark World" monsters ("Beiige", "Sillva" or "Goldd") and "The Fabled Cerburrel".
  • Fusion Monster: 1 card, "Instant Fusion".
  • Ritual Monster: 2 cards, "Ritual Foregone" and a Ritual Monster in your hand, or "Gishki's Duplicate Soul Mirror" and a "Gishki" Ritual Monster.
  • The combination of this will allow you to Special Summon this card on the first turn. This method takes up 5 cards (including "Genesis Star God, Sophia") and does not use up your Normal Summon, so you can Normal Summon "D.D. Survivor" before Special Summoning "Sophia".

• Another option is to use "Future Fusion" to build up your graveyard:
  • Target "Elemental HERO Escuridão" and send "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" to your graveyard.
  • Use the effect of "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" to return "Future Fusion" to your hand and use it to send either "Glow-Up Bulb" or "Spore" to your graveyard.
  • The options from here vary greatly.
    • Normal Summon "Kinka-byo" and Special Summon "Spore" with it's effect and Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron". Special Summon "Spore" removing "Elemental HERO Knospe". Xyz Summon "Daigusto Emeral". Use it's effect to return 2 heroes and "Spore"/"Zephyros" to draw a card.
    • Normal Summon "Cloudian - Turbulence" and Special Summon a "Cloudian - Smoke Ball" with its effect. Special Summon "Glow-Up Bulb" and Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron". Xyz Summon "Daigusto Emeral" using "Turbulence" and "Zephyros" as Xyz Material Monsters and use its effect to draw a card.
    • Pretty much anything being able to summon a monster from the same level, a tuner, a tuner that can summon another monster, a level 4 that can summon a lv1, a lv1 that can summon a lv4 can work up with this combo. Examples for such monsters are:
      • "Inzektor Dragonfly"
      • "Swap Frog" (Summoning it twice using its effect to dump Ronintoadin and a Frog Monster)
      • "Gishki Beast" (if you have a Gishki monster in the graveyard)
      • "Deep Sea Diva"
      • "Phantom Skyblaster"
      • "Rescue Rabbit"
      • "Tour Guide from the Underworld"
      • "Kinka-Byo"
      • "Cloudian Turbulence"
      • "The Agent of Creation - Venus"
  • Use "Miracle Fusion", "Dark Calling" or "Dragon's Mirrorusion]]" to summon a Fusion Monster.
  • Ritual Summon a Gishki monster.

• This card works well in a Banish Deck, or with archetypes like D.D..
• This card can be relatively easier to Summon in a "Laval" Deck. The archetype includes both Xyz and Synchro Monsters.
  • You can also easily Summon the required Fusion Monster - "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" using "Dragon's Mirror" or "Miracle Synchro Fusion". Then you can use "Laval Cannon" to re-Summon the Synchro Dragon-type monster removed.

• Use Imperial Iron Wall to prevent its summoning cost from being fulfilled.

• This card can fulfill the requirements for "Chaos Greed", "Dimension Distortion" and "Chaos End".
