• Tribute cards like Black Ptera and Sinister Serpent so that you will always have a monster to Tribute.

• Crystal Beasts work well with this card, as they can be treated as either a Monster or Continuous Spell.
  • Also because Rainbow Dragon could be one of the fusion material monsters.

• Use Rainbow Neos' last effect with Transmigration Break to remove from play all cards from your opponent's Graveyard.

• The quickest way to get the Material Monsters for this card is using Rainbow Path for the Rainbow Dragon (or Rainbow Dark Dragon) and E - Emergency Call or Summoner's Art for Elemental Hero Neos. Elemental Hero Prisma can also stand in for Neos.
  • Elemental Hero Neos Alius might be a good alternative to Neos, as it is more easily summoned and is a decent beatstick, which Crystal Beasts are somewhat lacking in.
    • You can also use Elemental Hero Stratos to search for Neos or Neos Alius.

• If you plan on using this card with Crystal Beasts as support, you may as well also include in your Extra Deck some of these other fusion Heroes, each which uses one E-Hero and one Crystal Beast:
  • Summon Elemental Hero Gaia with Topaz Tiger, Amber Mammoth, or Amethyst Cat.
  • Summon Elemental Hero Absolute Zero with Emerald Tortoise.
  • Summon Elemental Hero Great Tornado with Cobalt Eagle and Sapphire Pegasus
  • Summon Elemental Hero The Shining with Ruby Carbuncle.
  • This isn't limited to fusing them with Neos, either -- the above-mentioned Elemental Hero Prisma, Elemental Hero Stratos and Elemental Hero Neos Alius can also all be fused, so this will increase the flexibility of your deck and prevent dead draws.

• This card's effect to return all cards in the opponent's Graveyard works exceptionally well against opponents who rely on Graveyard effects, such as Destiny Heroes, Dark counterparts (particularly Dark Armed Dragon), Zombies, and others.

• Future Fusion is an excellent way to summon Rainbow Neos very early in the game without going through all the trouble of having to search out its components.

• Use this card with Assault Armor, and then use this monster's effect to return your opponent's monsters. Assault Armor's effect will then allow two attacks for a 9000-point OTK -- as long as your opponent doesn't have any Spell/Trap Cards such as Mirror Force, Sakuretsu Armor, etc.
  • Heavy Storm and Giant Trunade can ensure your path is clear.

• Use this card and UFOroid to summon UFOroid Fighter with 5700 ATK.
  • Power Bond will bring it to 11400 ATK, but keep a card like Pikeru's Circle of Enchantment ready in case of problems.

• Using this card with Honest will make for a guaranteed 4500 damage when you attack or are attacked.

• In Traditional format, use Exchange of the Spirit after using this card's third effect to win the duel.

• This card does extremely well in twilight decks.
