* This card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one [[Tribute]] using "[[Kaiser Sea Horse]]" and "[[Gellenduo]]".
+
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Cyber Angel Benten]]", "[[Sky Scourge Cidhels]]", "[[Celestial Knightlord Parshath]]", "[[Victorica, Angel of Bravery]]", "[[Power Angel Valkyria]]", "[[Shadow's Light]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Link Party]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].
  
*If you do not want to return a monster to your hand, you could use "[[The End of Anubis]]" to prevent this card from retrieving a monster and keep the number of [[Fairy]] monsters in the [[Graveyard]] at 4.
+
* "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" can be used to Special Summon this card from the hand.
  
*This card works well with "[[Honest]]", "[[Hanewata]]", "[[Hecatrice]]" and other Fairy monsters that can be discarded for an effect, to maintain the [[Special Summon]] requirements.
+
* This card can be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with one [[Tribute]] using "[[Kaiser Sea Horse]]", "[[Gellenduo]]", "[[Serenade the Melodious Diva]]" and "[[The First Monarch]]".
  
*When you play this card, you can return a monster like "[[Airknight Parshath]]" to your hand and use "Archlord Kristya" as a tribute. Then, it will return on top of your deck. You can then use cards like "[[Dark World Dealings]]" to draw "Archlord Kristya" and discard one fairy-type monster in order to summon "Archlord Kristya" again and get back "Honest" or "[[Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin]]" in your hand .
+
* This card's Trigger Effect can be useful for retrieving Fairy-Type monsters that serve as [[hand trap]]s, such as "[[Honest]]", "[[Herald of Orange Light]]", etc.
  
* You can use cards such as "[[Painful Choice]]" and "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" to fill the Graveyard with Fairy type monsters for this card's special summon effect.
+
* If there are 3 or less Fairy-Type monsters in the Graveyard, the effect of ""[[The Agent of Creation - Venus]]" can make it possible to Special Summon this card (assuming there's an appropriate number of copies of "[[Mystical Shine Ball]]" to Summon), since "Venus" and "Mystical Shine Ball" can be used for 1 or more [[Link Summon]]s that send them to the Graveyard.
 +
* Useful in a "[[Trickstar]]" Deck, since the monsters are Fairy Type.
  
* You can use cards such as "[[Freed the Brave Wanderer]]", "[[Soul Release]]", and "[[Soul of Purity and Light]]" to lower the number of LIGHT fairies in your Graveyard.
+
==Traditional Format==
 
+
* "[[Painful Choice]]" can be used to fill the Graveyard with Fairy-Type monsters for this card's Special Summon.
* If you fill up your Graveyard with DARK-type Fairy Monsters like "[[Dark Valkyria]]" and "[[Darknight Parshath]]", you can Special Summon "Archlord Kristya" and return "Darknight Parshath" to your hand. Then on your next turn, you can Tribute Summon the "Darknight Parshath" you added to your hand by using "Archlord Kristya" as a Tribute, returning" Archlord Kristya" to the top of your deck. Now in this case, you can Special Summon a "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" from your hand and, if "Darknight Parshath" is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon "Archlord Kristya" when you draw it on the next turn.
 
 
 
* 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 Vortex]]" or "[[Torrential Tribute]]". For this reason, it may be wise to include cards like "[[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]]" or "[[Trade-In]]" so that it does not become a dead card 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.
 
 
 
* For additional speed in a deck that runs 3 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 to the grave to help meet the Special Summoning requirement.
 
 
 
* 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.
 
 
 
* Using "[[Book of Moon]]" and "[[Book of Eclipse]]" will allow you to manipulate the effect that prevents a player from Special Summoning.
 
 
 
* 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.
 
 
 
* A very simple way to remove this card from your opponents side of the field is to simply use "[[D.D. Warrior Lady]]"
 
 
 
* 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.
 
 
 
* Although restricting its summoning, using "[[Zombie World]]" will stop any attemp to Tribute Summon a monster stronger than "Kristya".
 
 
 
* Due to the use of "[[Senju of the Thousand Hands]]" and "[[Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands]]", a Ritual deck may use this card as a form of Synchro Summon oppression, while also reloading "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands" back to your hand.
 
 
 
* Use the effects of the "[[Heralds]]" to fill the Graveyard with Fairy-Type monsters for this card's Special Summon effect.

  • If there are 3 or less Fairy-Type monsters in the Graveyard, the effect of ""The Agent of Creation - Venus" can make it possible to Special Summon this card (assuming there's an appropriate number of copies of "Mystical Shine Ball" to Summon), since "Venus" and "Mystical Shine Ball" can be used for 1 or more Link Summons that send them to the Graveyard.
