• Ways to benefit from this card include "D.D. Survivor", "D.D. Scout Plane" and "Evilswarm 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 Escuridao" 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 Mirror" to summon a Fusion Monster.
  • Ritual Summon a Gishki monster.

• Use "Fusion Gate" and "Chain Material" combo as easy method to Special Summon this card. Summon multiple Fusion Monster (Take a note to call a Monster with 6 stars or lower. Ex : "Rabid Horseman"). Then, you can :
  • Tribute one of the Fusion Monsters to Ritual Summon. Or activate "Advanced Ritual Art" first before Fusion Summoning with above methods to dumping your Normal Monsters so later can be banished for Fusion Summon. Ex : "Battle Ox" and/or "Mystic Horseman" to get "Black Luster Soldier".
  • Summon Tuner and Synchro Summon with Fusion Monster. Ex : "Torapart" to get "Crimson Blader".
  • Overlay 2 Fusion Monster with same level to Xyz Summon. Ex : Rank 6 "Sword Breaker"

• This card works well in a Banish Deck, or with archetypes like D.D..

• This card also works well in Demise Gaia Deck, as it includes strong Fusion Monsters and Ritual Monsters, such as "Evil HERO Dark Gaia" and "Demise, King of Armageddon". Also, in this deck, Xyz Monsters are relatively easy to pull using "Rescue Rabbit", and you just have to include some useful Tuners, such as "Plaguespreader Zombie" or "Effect Veiler" to fulfill the requirement of summoning this monster.

• 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".
