* You can use this card to occup monster card zones your opponent control that are being pointed out by link monsters.

* This card provides the opportunity for several OTKs:
 +
** "[[Orphebull the Harmonious Bullfighter Bard]]" (by banishing only 1 monster from the hand), "[[Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon]]" and "[[Vision HERO Trinity]]" can attack and destroy all the "[[Nightmare Archfiend Token]]s" in 1 turn, inflicting enough battle damage to win (aided by the 800 damage inflicted from each Token's destruction).
 +
** The effects of "[[Earthbound Release]]" and "[[Winged Kuriboh LV10]]" can destroy the Tokens and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the Tokens' combined original ATK (6000), which ensures victory due to the extra 2400 damage inflicted from the Tokens' destruction.
 +
*** Typically, the effect of "Earthbound Release" is copied by "[[Junk Collector]]", "[[Transaction Rollback]]", or "[[Trap of Darkness]]", which is activated when the "Nightmare Archfiend Tokens" are Summoned.
 +
*** If this Trap Card is activated by Tributing "[[Diviner of the Herald]]", that monster's effect can be triggered to Special Summon "[[Winged Kuriboh]]", accelerating the strategy to Summon "Winged Kuriboh LV10".
  
* Use this card to provide extra effect damage from the effects of "[[Just Desserts]]", "[[Secret Blast]]", "[[Thunder Short]]", "[[Secret Barrel]]", etc.
+
* As an "[[Archfiend]]" card, this card can be used in a Deck that uses multiple "Archfiend" cards and can achieve an OTK via "[[Berserk Dragon]]" attacking all of the "Nightmare Archfiend Tokens", with the effect of "[[Archfiend Heiress]]" being able to search for any of "Archfiend" cards as needed, which specifically include: "[[A Deal with Dark Ruler]]", "[[Archfiend's Staff of Despair]]" (or "[[Axe of Despair]]"), and this Trap Card.
 +
** Both "A Deal with Dark Ruler" and "Axe of Despair" are officially considered to be "Archfiend" cards.
  
* Combo with "[[Owner's Seal]]" or "[[Remove Brainwashing]]" to use the "[[Nightmare Archfiend Token]]s" for attacking or as Tributes for a Summon.
+
* This card can be powerful when combined with "[[Owner's Seal]]" or "[[Remove Brainwashing]]", which will return control of the 2000 ATK Tokens to the player who activated "Nightmare Archfiends".
** Special Summon "[[Grinder Golem]]", "[[Lava Golem]]", "[[Volcanic Queen]]", etc. beforehand as well, to take advantage of this.
 
** If your Tokens is kept, combo with "[[Token Stampede]]".
 
  
* Combo with "[[Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon]]" for a potential OTK.
+
* While this card provides 3 Tokens to the opponent (with their presence potentially preventing Summoning/activation conditions of the opponent's cards from being met), so does "[[Ojama Trio]]", which also provides 3 Tokens to the opponent but without the activation cost of Tributing 1 monster. Ultimately, these Trap Cards' individual statuses as an "Archfiend" card and an "Ojama" card can be a major deciding factor for which card to use for this disruption, since each can synergize with different groups of cards.
** "[[Vision HERO Trinity]]" can serve as a substitute, so long as this card is activated during the same turn it is Fusion Summoned.
 
  
* For a potential OTK, combo with "[[Winged Kuriboh LV10]]" during your opponent's Battle Phase, or by Summoning 3 "[[Destiny End Dragoon]]"s (with the aid of "[[Chain Material]]".
+
* This card can work very well with "[[Balance of Judgment]]", since this card simultaneously reduces the number of cards on the activator's field (Tributing 1 monster), while increasing the number of cards that the opponent controls (giving the opponent 3 Tokens).
  
* During your opponent's Battle Phase, combo with "[[Yubel]]" or "[[Number 54: Lion Heart]]", along with "[[All-Out Attacks]]", "[[Staunch Defender]]", or even "[[Battle Mania]]" (during their Standby Phase) to achieve a potential OTK.
+
* This card can work well with "[[Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu]]". Assuming that "Aslla piscu" successfully attacks the opponent directly for 2500 damage, this Trap Card can be activated by Tributing that monster, resulting in the effect of "Aslla piscu" activating afterward and destroying the "[[Nightmare Archfiend Token]]s" for a total of 4800 damage (producing a combined total of 7300 damage inflicted that turn). If the opponent controls at least 1 other monster to be destroyed this way, an OTK is possible with 8100 damage inflicted.
  
* Use this card to interrupt your opponent's swarm strategies.
+
* Since this card's effect produces 3 Tokens with a combined ATK of 6000, it can be helpful for meeting the activation condition for "[[Dances with Beasts]]", which requires the opponent to control monsters with at least 8000 combined ATK.
** This is especially effective against "[[Burning Abyss]]" Decks, since their Main Deck Effect Monsters self-destruct if their controller controls a non-"Burning Abyss" monster.
 
 
 
* Combo with "[[Alien Kid]]" and "[[Mass Hypnosis]]" for at least 7600 battle damage.
 
 
 
* Combo with "[[Clear World]]" to prevent your opponent's monsters from attacking.
 
* In an "[[Egyptian God]]" Deck, this card combos well with "[[The Tricky]]" and "[[Tricky Spell 4]]".
 
** Alternatively, this combo also works in a "[[Destiny HERO]]" Deck if there is a plan to Summon "[[Destiny HERO - Plasma]]".
 
** Combining this card with "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" can instantly cause your opponent to lose 2400 Life Points, as Slifer's effects will destroy them the moment they are summoned.
 
 
 
* Combine it with [[Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon]] to deal up to 5600 damage.
 
* Combine with [[Lair of Darkness]] to deal with any monster your opponent controls
 
** Furthermore, you can combine it with [[Darklight]] to instantly destroy the tokens and deal damage to your opponent

  • This card can be powerful when combined with "Owner's Seal" or "Remove Brainwashing", which will return control of the 2000 ATK Tokens to the player who activated "Nightmare Archfiends".
  • While this card provides 3 Tokens to the opponent (with their presence potentially preventing Summoning/activation conditions of the opponent's cards from being met), so does "Ojama Trio", which also provides 3 Tokens to the opponent but without the activation cost of Tributing 1 monster. Ultimately, these Trap Cards' individual statuses as an "Archfiend" card and an "Ojama" card can be a major deciding factor for which card to use for this disruption, since each can synergize with different groups of cards.
  • This card can work very well with "Balance of Judgment", since this card simultaneously reduces the number of cards on the activator's field (Tributing 1 monster), while increasing the number of cards that the opponent controls (giving the opponent 3 Tokens).
  • This card can work well with "Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu". Assuming that "Aslla piscu" successfully attacks the opponent directly for 2500 damage, this Trap Card can be activated by Tributing that monster, resulting in the effect of "Aslla piscu" activating afterward and destroying the "Nightmare Archfiend Tokens" for a total of 4800 damage (producing a combined total of 7300 damage inflicted that turn). If the opponent controls at least 1 other monster to be destroyed this way, an OTK is possible with 8100 damage inflicted.
  • Since this card's effect produces 3 Tokens with a combined ATK of 6000, it can be helpful for meeting the activation condition for "Dances with Beasts", which requires the opponent to control monsters with at least 8000 combined ATK.
