*This card works well with [[Infernity]] [[Deck]] and [[Disaster Dragon]] [[Deck]].
 
  
−
* This card's [[ATK]] will become 5000 if summoned properly (1 Tuner used for "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", and 2 Tuners for this card), making it just as strong as "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]", "[[Dragon Master Knight]]", or "[[Malefic Truth Dragon]]".
+
{{Cleanup}}
  
−
*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]]".  If your opponent has no monsters and "[[Destructotron]]" is used during the milling process, you can attack directly with 8000 ATK. (9 tuners in the graveyard.)
+
* "[[Earthbound Immortal Red Nova]]" can be used to Summon this card by only sending "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" from the field to the GY.
  
−
*Another way to boost Red Nova Dragon's attack is to use "[[Future Fusion]]", discarding 5 "[[Dragon]]"-Type Tuner monsters from your deck to the graveyard, giving Red Nova Dragon a 2500 ATK bonus.
+
* 3 good [[Tuner monster]]s to Synchro Summon this card are: "[[The Fabled Cerburrel]]", "[[Junk Synchron]]" and "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]" if 1 "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" is already under your control.
 +
** 2 "The Fabled Cerburrel" can be discarded via "[[The Cheerful Coffin]]" to Special Summon them back.
 +
** "Junk Synchron" can easily Special Summon 1 Level 1 Tuner monster from your Graveyard.
 +
** After using your "Plaguespreader Zombie" for a Synchro Summon, it can be revived via its own effect, and Summon another Level 2 Tuner monster.
  
−
* You can also fairly easily [[OTK]] with this card in a "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" deck, as long as you include a good number of [[Machine]]-Type Tuner monsters, of which there are many.
+
* 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.
  
−
* Since this card requires 3 Synchro Material Monsters, and gains at least 1500 from its own effect, it would be even more effective to increase this card's ATK further with "[[Synchro Strike]]".
+
* 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).
  
−
* You can use "[[Archfiend's Roar]]" to bring back "Red Dragon Archfiend" and summon "[[Junk Synchron]]" to get another Tuner, or use "[[Deep Sea Diva]]".
+
* In a "[[Dragunity]]" Deck, "[[Dragon Mastery]]" can be used in order to equip this card with "[[Dragunity Brandistock]]". This will give this card the ability to attack twice.
  
−
* In a [[Dragunity]] deck you can use "[[Dragon Control Technique]]" in order to equip this card with "[[Dragunity Brandistock]]". This will give [[Red Nova Dragon]] two attacks.
+
* Protect this card from cards like "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Dimensional Prison]]" and "[[Solemn Warning]]" with cards like "[[Dark Illusion]]", "[[The Dragon's Bead]]" and "[[Trap Stun]]".
  
−
* In one turn you can increase the attack of this card by 1500 by Summoning [[Junk Synchron]] to Special Summon a Level 1 Non-Tuner monster from your Graveyard and use them to Synchro Summon [[Armory Arm]] and equip it to [[Red Nova Dragon]].
+
* Use with "[[Soul Absorption]]" to gain 500 Life Points every time an attack is negated.
  
−
* Instead of trying to destroy your opponent's "[[Red Nova Dragon]]", send it back to the Extra Deck instead, with cards such as "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]".
+
* This card can be combined with "[[Zero Force]]" because this meets the banish requirements and can do some massive damage.
  
−
* Protect this card from cards like "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]" and "[[Dimensional Prison]]" with cards like "[[The Dragon's Bead]]".
+
* 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.
  
−
* Use with "[[Soul Absorption]]" to gain 500 Life Points every time you negate an attack.
+
* 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.
 +
** Combine the previous combo with "[[Wall of Revealing Light]]" or "[[The Dark Door]]" to make this monster nearly impossible to destroy.
  
−
===Tips for [[Synchro Summon]]ing this card:===
+
* Combine with "[[Strike Slash]]" to gain 700 [[ATK]] and a piercing effect.
  
−
* "[[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]" can Summon this card essentially on its own, as long as you have at least 3 cards in hand. Use its effect to Special Summon 2 "[[Fishborg Blaster]]" and 2 "[[Oyster Meister]] from the Deck. Tune 1 "[[Fishborg Blaster]]" and "[[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]" to Summon "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]". Tune the other "[[Fishborg Blaster]]" and 1 "[[Oyster Meister]]" to Summon "[[Armory Arm]]", and get an "[[Oyster Token]]". Use the effect of "[[Fishborg Blaster]]" to Special Summon it back from the Graveyard by discarding 1 card from your hand. Tune it with the "[[Oyster Token]]" for "[[Formula Synchron]]", and draw a card. Revive "[[Fishborg Blaster]]" yet again and tune it with the other "[[Oyster Meister]]" for a second "[[Armory Arm]]" and another "[[Oyster Token]]". Equip one "[[Armory Arm]]" with the other to make room on the field. Revive "[[Fishborg Blaster]]" and tune it with the "[[Oyster Token]]" for a second "[[Formula Synchron]]". Tune the 2 "[[Formula Synchron]]" with "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" to Summon "[[Red Nova Dragon]]". You now have a "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" with 5500 ATK and an "[[Armory Arm]]" with 2800 ATK. You also draw 2 cards, because of the formula synchrons, which may help reload your hand.
+
* 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.
  
 +
* Use cards like "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Rasetsu]]", "[[Dimensional Prison]]", "[[Number 101: Silent Honor ARK]]", "[[Darklord Desire]]", "[[Starliege Paladynamo]]", "[[Santa Claws]]", "[[Dark End Dragon]]", etc. to get rid of this card.
  
−
* Given that "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" will likely survive a turn on its own, you can use "[[Junk Synchron]]", 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, you can [[destroy]] 1 [[face-up]] [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards|Trap]] on your opponent's side of the [[field]], since Red Nova Dragon is a [[DARK]] [[Attribute]] monster.
+
* Use cards like "[[Needlebug Nest]]" and "[[Magical Merchant]]" to send more Tuners to your Graveyard to power this card up.
  
−
* In a [[Blackwing]] [[Deck]] if "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" is on the field, use "[[Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North]]" to [[Special Summon]] a "[[Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield]]" from your [[Graveyard]] and use them to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Red Nova Dragon]]." Also if "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" is on the field and you also have "[[Black Whirlwind]]" in play, you can summon "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]" and search for "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]" and [[Special Summon]] it using its [[Effect]]. If "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]" destroys a monster, [[Special Summon]] "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]." Since "Vayu" will have its effect negated, you can then [[Synchro Summon]] during main phase 2, or use "[[Urgent Tuning]]" to get "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" on the field during the same battle phase and deliver a quick [[Beatdown]] or possible [[OTK]].
+
* Summoning "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" with [[Dragon]]-Type Tuners like "[[Magna Drago]]", "[[The White Stone of Legend]]", "[[Rider of the Storm Winds]]" and "[[Delta Flyer]]" will give this monster a 2500 ATK boost. "[[Life Stream Dragon]]" and "[[Phonon Pulse Dragon]]" are also possible candidates for this combo, but are harder to Summon in conjunction with "Red Nova Dragon".
 +
** As an addition to this combo, when using "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", if "Life Stream Dragon" is in your Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned with the effect of "Darkness Metal". Then, activate "[[Polymerization]]" or a similar fusing card to [[Fusion Summon]] "Five-Headed Dragon". The card used for the Fusion CANNOT be "[[Fusion Gate]]" or "[[Dragon's Mirror]]", as they will banish the monsters used in the Fusion Summon.
 +
*** As mentioned before, if this combo is performed successfully, there will be both "Five-Headed Dragon" and a "Red Nova Dragon" with at least a 2500 ATK boost. However, it is possible for the ATK boost could reach 5500, but only if none of the Tuners for any Synchro Monsters used are re-Summoned.
  
−
* You can use "[[Twilight Rose Knight]]'s" effect to Summon "[[Copy Plant]]" and fulfill the [[Tuner]] requirements for this card.
+
* 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.
−
** Use [[Hanewata]] with [[Court of Justice]] to Special Summon [[Counselor Lily]] to fulfill the [[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster]] requirements and give this card an extra 1000 ATK by paying 500 Life Points.
 
  
−
* [[Infernity Beetle]]'s effect to summon two more of itself can provide the two [[Tuner]]s required for this card's summoning as well as making his ATK 5000, providing you have no cards in your hand.
+
* 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.
  
−
* "[[Deep Sea Diva]]'s" effect can be used to summon another copy of itself fulfilling the two [[Tuner]] requirements.
+
* Use  "[[Agapain the Guardragon]]" to bring this card out fastly.
  
−
* Special Summoning "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]" allows you to Normal Summon a second Tuner.
+
==Synchro Summoning==
−
** Similarly, you can use "[[Emergency Teleport]]" and [[Special Summon]] "[[Krebons]]" from your [[Deck]].
 
  
−
* You can summon the 2 Tuners quickly by using "[[Telekinetic Power Well]]" by bringing back 2 of either "Krebons" and/or "[[Psychic Jumper]]" that you may have used to summon "Red Dragon Archfiend".
+
* This card can easily be Synchro Summoned with three cards in hand: "[[Unknown Synchron]]", "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" and "[[Junk Synchron]]".
−
** One way is to summon a "[[Cyber Dragon]]"/"[[Vice Dragon]]"/"[[Oracle of the Sun]]", then using "[[One for One]]" by discarding 1 of the [[Psychic]]'s 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 [[Psychic]]'s from your graveyard.
+
** 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 "[[Fabled]]s", 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 [[Psychic]]s 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"
 +
*# Normal Summon "Trident Warrior" or "Goblindbergh".
 +
*# Use the effect of "Trident Warrior"/"Goblindbergh" to Special Summon "Delta Flyer".
 +
*# Use the effect of "Delta Flyer" to increase the level of "Trident Warrior"/"Goblindbergh" by 1.
 +
*# Tune them to Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend".
 +
*# Special Summon "Create Resonator".
 +
*# Special Summon "Jester Confit".
 +
*# Banish "Jester Confit" to Special Summon "D. D. Sprite".
 +
*# Synchro Summon this card.* This card can easily be Summoned in a "Tricky Turbo" Deck.
 +
*# Discard a Level 1 Tuner to Summon "The Tricky".
 +
*# Normal Summon "Junk Synchron", and use its effect to revive the Level 1 tuner.
 +
*# Tune "Junk Synchron" with "The Tricky" for "Red Dragon Archfiend".
 +
*# Special Summon "Creation Resonator" or "Synchro Magnet" with its own effect.
 +
*# 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. Tune "[[Fire Ant Ascator]]" with "Oracle of the Sun" for "Red Dragon Archfiend". Then use another "Ascator" with "[[Supay]]" to get this card.* If there is a "[[Salvage Warrior]]" in your hand, and have a Level 3 Tuner in your hand or Graveyard, the Level 3 Tuner can be Tributed, such as "Junk Synchron" or "[[Flare Resonator]]", and Summon "Red Dragon Archfiend". With the 2 Spell Cards "Foolish Burial" and "[[Monster Reborn]]", send a Level 3 Tuner to the Graveyard, and Special Summon it. Then activate "Double Summon". Normal Summon a Level 1 Tuner, like "D.D. 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.
  
−
* You can play "Brain Research Lab" and then summon "Mind Master" with any other psychic monster.  Then mill at least 4 level 2 or lower monsters, ending with a level 4 monster like "Destructotron" to clear the back field.  Then play "Telekinetic Power Well" to summon three level two psychics. Tune two with Destructotron to get "Red Dragon Archfiend". Then use the last to mill as many tuners as possible with Mind Master and end with "Psychic Commander". Tune MM and Commander with Red Dragon Archfiend to have yourself a "Red Nova Dragon" with massive ATK.
+
==Traditional Format==
  
−
*[[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.

"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 SummoningEdit

  • 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".

    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.

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.
