• "Treeborn Frog" or "Mausoleum of the Emperor" can be used to Tribute Summon this card each turn.

• "Call of the Mummy" can help provide a constant flow of monsters to tribute for "Dark Dust Spirit". "Dark Dust Spirit" is also a zombie, and "Call of the Haunted" is a common staple in Zombie decks, which only helps Zombie decks even more.

• You can use "Dark Dust Spirit" to destroy your "Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" and get its effect next turn.

• Use this with "Dimensional Fissure", "Royal Decree", and "D.D. Survivor". You will always have a needed tribute and your opponent will be unable to stop you when you go for a direct attack. If he sets a monster, use "Swords of Revealing Light".

• Activate "Light of Intervention" and play "Dimensional Fissure", then tribute "D.D. Scout Plane" to Tribute Summon "Dark Dust Spirit". Destroy all other Face-up monsters using the effect of "Dark Dust Spirit" and attack your opponent directly with "Dark Dust Spirit". As this card returns to the Owner's Hand at the End Phase, "D.D. Scout Plane" is Special Summoned at the End Phase because it was removed when it was Tributed, due to the effect of "Dimensional Fissure". This way you will have a permanent monster to Tribute Summon "Dark Dust Spirit" every turn. This combo also works with "D.D. Survivor".

• This card works well with Dark World monsters such as "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" and "Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World". Both cards can either be used to provide either tribute fodder for him, or if you manage to summon him beforehand, can be summoned afterwords for a total of 4500 direct damage.
  • This also works well with "The Tricky".

• You can use "Book of Moon" to flip "Dark Dust Spirit" into face-down defense position, preventing its effect of returning to your hand during the End Phase.

• You can use "Ultimate Offering" to tribute a monster and summon this card in your opponent's turn, so, use it when your opponent attack a monster in your side, tribute that monster by paying 500 LP to activate "Ultimate Offering" to summon "Dark Dust Spirit" and destroy all of the opponent's Face-up monsters, preventing the attack.

• This and the other Spirit monsters can easily counter "Light and Darkness Dragon"'s effect. Since returning Spirit monsters to the hand during the End Phase is obligatory, "Light and Darkness Dragon" will negate it again and again until his ATK is too low.
