To Xyz Summon

• A combination of "Doll Happiness" and either "Box of Friends" or "Grandpa Demetto" can be used to Summon this card. "Doll Happiness" can add either of these monsters, and then destroy "Box of Friends" to send a "Doll Monster" to the GY. "Box of Friend" can then Summon 2 "Doll Monster" cards and Xyz Summon "Princess Cologne". Finally, "Grandpa Demetto" can be Normal Summoned, and use its effect to detach a material from "Princess Cologne" and Special Summon from the GY 2 "Doll Monster" monsters as Level 8 DARK monsters.
  • This also enables the second effect of "Grandpa Demetto", which can destroy the opponent's monsters and deal damage when this card activates its effect.

• The third effect of "Princess Cologne" can be used to Special Summon "Cosmo Queen" or "Tri-Horned Dragon" which can be used to Summon this card.

• "Dark World" Decks could use this card because they can Summon multiple copies of the Level 8, DARK Attribute "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World" and "Reign-Beaux, Overking of Dark World", which can be used as Material for this card.

• This card could be Summoned in a "Hieratic" Deck that uses "Tri-Horned Dragon".

• "Gagaga Magician" and "Gagaga Girl"/"Gagaga Child"/"Gagaga Sister" can make this card's Summoning easier.

• "Dark Necrofear" can be quickly Summoned in a Fiend Deck and used as Material for this card's Summoning.
  • The same goes for "Gearspring Spirit" in a Machine Deck.

• If "Darklord Superbia" is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, its effect can be used to also revive "Darklord Zerato", setting up this card's Xyz Summon for 1 card.

• "Malefic Stardust Dragon" or "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" can be Special Summoned, and if it isn't done, Summon another DARK monster. Activate "Galaxy Queen's Light", and select the Summoned "Malefic" monster. The other monster(s) will become Level 8, allowing for an easy Xyz Summon for "Zombiestein". (NOTE: there must be either "Skill Drain" or a face-up Field Spell Card for the "Malefic" monster to be Summoned/not be destroyed.)

• "Gimmick Puppet" Decks can use "Gimmick Puppet Magnet Doll" to easily bring this card out.

• Two copies of "Schwarzschild Limit Dragon" can easily bring this card out (but your opponent must have a monster with 2000 or more ATK on the field).

• The effect of "Isolde, Belle of the Underworld" can be used to make 2 Zombie-Type monsters on your field Level 8.

To use its effect:

• After using this card's effect, "Curse of Fiend", "Final Attack Orders", "Labyrinth of Nightmare" or "Zero Gravity" can be used to change this card to Attack Position.
  • Also while in Defense Position, "Inverse Universe" can be used to make it a 4500 defender (better when attacked), if changed back to Attack Position to attack, its effect can be used again to change it back to Defense Position (DEF 4500).
  • "Gamushara" makes a good combo with this card, as your opponent's monster would ram to a 4500 ATK "Zombiestein", and if it is destroyed (which is very probable), besides the battle damage, damage will still be inflicted to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK.
    • A similar combo can be done with "Prepare to Strike Back", but this one is much more risky.
  • Use "Savage Colosseum" with "Final Attack Orders" to force your opponent to ram this card.
  • Cards like "Waboku" or "Mist Body" can be used to protect this monster after it uses its effect and is changed to Defense Position.

• "Number Wall" can easily protect this card while in Defense Position.

• "Spikeshield with Chain" is an excellent choice for this card, as it will add its ATK to its DEF should it be attacked in Defense Position.
  • For extra efficiency, the controller of this card can wait until the damage step to equip "Spikeshield", thereby lessening the chance of response and inflicting a large amount of damage.

Other tips

• The effect of "Gale Dogra" can be used to send this card from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard before "Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis" is Xyz Summoned. Equipping this card to "Chronomaly Atlandis" will increase its ATK to 4850, the highest possible with its effect.

• Use the card "Oni-Gami Combo" in conjuction with this card, so that it can attack twice for 9000 damage.
