===Summoning===* This card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one [[Tribute]] using "[[Kaiser Sea Horse]]"Valhalla, "[[Gellenduo]]" and "[[The First MonarchHall of the Fallen]]"can be used to Special Summon this card from the hand.

* If you do not want to return a monster to your handThis card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one [[Tribute]] using "[[Kaiser Sea Horse]]", you could use "[[The End of AnubisGellenduo]]" to prevent this card from retrieving a monster and keep the number of , "[[FairySerenade the Melodious Diva]] monsters in the " and "[[GraveyardThe First Monarch]] at 4".

* This card works well with "'s Trigger Effect can be useful for retrieving Fairy-Type monsters that serve as [[Honesthand trap]]"s, such as "[[Zeradias, Herald of HeavenHonest]]", "[[Hanewata]]", "[[HecatriceHerald of Orange Light]]" and other Fairy monsters that can be discarded for an effect, to maintain the [[Special Summon]] requirementsetc.

* If you fill up your Graveyard with [[DARK]] there are 3 or less Fairy-type Monsters like Type monsters in the Graveyard, the effect of ""[[Dark ValkyriaThe Agent of Creation - Venus]]" and can make it possible to Special Summon this card (assuming there's an appropriate number of copies of "[[Darknight ParshathMystical Shine Ball]]"to Summon), you can Special Summon since "Archlord KristyaVenus" and return "Darknight ParshathMystical Shine Ball" to your hand. Then on your next turn, you can Tribute be used for 1 or more [[Link Summon the "Darknight Parshath" you added to your hand by using "Archlord Kristya" as a Tribute, returning" Archlord Kristya" ]]s that send them to the top of your deckGraveyard. Now * Useful in this case, you can Special Summon a "[[Dark Armed DragonTrickstar]]" from your hand andDeck, if "Darknight Parshath" is sent to since the Graveyard, you can Special Summon "Archlord Kristya" when you draw it on the next turnmonsters are Fairy Type.

* Use "Archlord Kristya" to get "Hecatrice" back to your hand, then discard it to obtain a "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen", which will allow you to maintain 4 Fairies in the graveyard. * Discard "[[Hecatrice]]" and "[[Zeradias, Herald of Heaven]]" to add "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" and "[[The Sanctuary in the Sky]]" to your hand, allowing to set up "Kristya"'s summon. This also gives you easy access to summoning him using "Valhalla" and stopping battle damage you would take involving a Fairy while "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is active on the field. * Using "[[Mask of Restrict]]" and "[[Zombie World]]" will stop any attempt to Tribute Summon a monster stronger than "Kristya" (although "Zombie World" can prevent "Kristya" from being Special Summoned and Tribute Summoned later if it is destroyed). * Use the effects of the [[Herald]]s to fill the Graveyard with Fairy-Type monsters for this card's Special Summon effect. * Combine the effects of a few "[[Lavalval Chain]]" and "[[Daigusto Emeral]]" To have a strong graveyard control for this card. If you want an Offensive way to control your graveyard, you can add [[Freed the Brave Wanderer]], since most Fairies are Light attributed, you can also use instead [[The Fountain in the Sky]] to keep the Number of Light Fairies in your grave underneath 5 as well as gain some Lps (It can even be used without interfering with the effect of [[Shining Angel]] and [[Nova Summoner]]). ===Using=Traditional Format==* Because "Archlord Kristya's" effect that returns it to the top of the deck is compulsory, it can then become a bad draw, especially if your opponent wiped out your monsters with "[[Lightning VortexPainful Choice]]" or "[[Torrential Tribute]]". For this reason, it may can be wise to include cards like "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" or "[[Trade-In]]" so that it does not become a dead draw when this happens. Another option is "[[Tethys, Goddess of Light]]" if "Kristya" is returned to the top of the deck when you draw in the next turn you draw "Kristya" and another card. Using [[Supply Unit]] would also help, if your Archlord is destroyed, you get to draw it again immediately (or at least another card, if another monster is destroyed first). * While this card is on the field, you can use "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" to copy the effect of "[[Sky Scourge Norleras]]", clear the field, and draw this card. If you have the correct amount of Fairies in the grave, you can then Summon this card for a direct attack AND return a Fairy to your hand. * Using "[[Book of Moon]]" and "[[Book of Eclipse]]" will allow you to manipulate the effect that prevents a player from Special Summoning. * Use this monster together with "[[Silent Swordsman LV7]]", "[[The End of Anubis]]" and "[[Fog King]]" to ensure a ruthless lock. * Use this Card in an [[Arcana Force]] Deck, Arcana are all [[Fairy]] monsters so summon this card is easily, also in combo with "[[Tour of Doom]]" and "[[Second Coin Toss]]" will make a Lock combo that will not let your opponent summon any monster, and only to Set monsters. * For additional speed in a deck that runs 2 copies of "Kristya", try using "[[Advance Draw]]" to draw "Kristya" and 1 more card.** "Trade-In" also works well with this card, as it is level 8, and can add a Fairy-Type monster used to fill the Graveyard to help meet the Special Summoning requirement. * In a [[Vylon]] deck, this card can create outstanding monster lockdown along with "[[Vylon Omega]]". You can summon this card with its built-in effect (assuming you have enough Fairy-Type monsters) or you can Tribute Summon this card by using "[[Vylon Element]]" to gather Tuners for [[Tribute]]s.** Make sure you Synchro Summon "[[Vylon Omega]]" first, otherwise you cannot Summon Omega due to this card's restriction. ===Countering===* A very simple way to remove this card from your opponents side of the field is to use "[[D.D. Warrior Lady]]", "[[Dimensional Prison]]", "[[Dark Core]]", etc. * A very cruel trick you can do is to get rid momentarily of "Kristya" and let it return to the top of your opponent's deck, then use "[[Conscription]]" to take control of this card before your opponent draws itSpecial Summon.
