* ''See also "[[Darkness Neosphere Lockdown]]"''.
+
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Three-Eyed Ghost]]", "[[Ahrima, the Wicked Warden]]", "[[Sky Scourge Cidhels]]", "[[Gizmek Makami, the Ferocious Fanged Fortress]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].
  
* This card is a staple in any deck with a lot of [[Fiend]]-type monsters.
+
==Summoning==
 +
* Many monsters that are useful to send to the Graveyard when Summoning this card include "[[Sangan]]", "[[Night Assailant]]" and "[[Necro Defender]]".
 +
* "[[Duke Shade, the Sinister Shadow Lord]]" can be used as part of the summoning cost while also recovering a high-Level DARK Fiend-Type monster from the Graveyard. It can add this card from the Graveyard to the hand as well.
 +
** Similarly, "[[Ahrima, the Wicked Warden]]" can search for it from the Deck.
 +
* "[[Savage Colosseum]]" and "[[Yang Zing Path]]" force the opponent to attack, leading to an easier summon of "Darkness Neosphere" and forcing them to attack it.
 +
* Use Fiend-Type monsters that Summon other Fiends, like "[[Stygian Security]]", so your opponent will be tempted to attack over and over. This will help thin out your Deck and will always have your conditions met for this card's Summoning costs.
 +
* "[[Call of the Archfiend]]" can trade Fiend-Type monsters in the hand for Fiend-Type monsters on the field.
  
* This card can reset a lot of useful Continuous Trap Cards like "[[Call of the Haunted]]" and "[[Mask of Restrict]]."
+
==Using with other cards==
** In the case of "[[Call of the Haunted]]"/"[[Birthright]]"/"[[Soul Resurrection]]" this can be an especially useful effect, since Call is often left sitting on the field meaninglessly (because the monster it Special Summoned was not destroyed but has left the field.)
+
* If summoning this card is unfeasible, use it as Fusion Material for "[[Evil HERO Dark Gaia]]".
** An additional tactic to use with [[Call of the Haunted]]/[[Soul Resurrection]]/[[Birthright]] is to chain [[Royal Decree]]'s effect to that of [[Darkness Neosphere]]. In doing so, [[Call of the Haunted]]/[[Soul Resurrection]]/[[Birthright]] is negated before it leaves the field. The monster it was used to revive stays, and you can continue recycling the two cards in such a way as to be able to revive a monster every turn.
+
* As a Fiend-Type monster that can manage your Trap Cards, it can be used in a "[[Sacred Beast]]" Deck.
** You can also take advantage of [[Call of the Haunted]]/[[Soul Resurrection]]/[[Birthright]] to recycle effects that activate in the Graveyard, like that of [[Sangan]] or [[Destiny Hero - Dasher]]. Or you can use this for monster effects that activate when Special Summoned, like [[Sacred Crane]].
+
* This card can be surprisingly useful in a "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]"-based Deck. The card's Summoning cost can easily be paid, since "Koa'ki Meirus" revolve around keeping monsters with same type in hand and field, and its effect can be abused with "[[Core Reinforcement]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]]".
 +
* Target this card with the effect of "[[Evil HERO Infernal Gainer]]" to deal massive damage. Against a field with no monsters, this is a OTK.
 +
* Use "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]" in conjunction with this card to protect it from most effects and deal additional damage while keeping its ATK and protection from battle.
  
* It works well in a [[Sacred Beast]] Deck because "[[Darkness Neosphere]]" is an easy-to-use [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] which controls your [[Trap Cards]].
+
==Using this card with Continuous Trap Cards.==
 +
* "[[Imperial Custom]]" will cause these cards to be even harder to get rid of.
 +
* "[[Call of the Haunted]]", "[[Birthright]]" or "[[Soul Resurrection]]" to [[revive]] more monsters. Returning "Call of the Haunted" keeps it from being rendered useless if the Special Summoned monster [[Leaves the field|left the field]] without being destroyed.
 +
** "[[Powerful Rebirth]]" can only summon Level 4 or lower monsters, but unlike the previously mentioned cards, it will not destroy the Special Summoned monster if returned to the hand.
 +
* "[[Mistake]]", to stop cards from being added from the Deck to the hand.
 +
* "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" to restrict Spell usage, and "[[Imperial Order]]" to shut it down almost entirely while halving its maintenance cost.
 +
* "[[Royal Decree]]" to shut down [[Trap Cards]].
 +
* "[[Gravity Bind]]", "[[Depth Amulet]]" and "[[Red Screen]]" to selectively stop attacks.
 +
* "[[Mask of Restrict]]" to prevent all forms of Tributing. It also protects "Darkness Neosphere" from "[[Kaiju]]s" and "[[Lair of Darkness]]".
 +
* "[[Tour of Doom]]" to prevent your opponent from Normal or Flip Summoning half of the time without suffering from the downside yourself.
 +
* "[[Light of Intervention]]" can be used to prevent monsters from being [[Set]].
 +
* "[[Spirit Barrier]]" to protect your [[Life Points]].
 +
* "[[Macro Cosmos]]" to force cards to be banished, and "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" to control when cards cannot banished.
 +
* "[[Summon Limit]]" to restrict Summoning.
  
* This card works well with "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]." Your opponent will have to set their [[Spell Cards]] before using them, while you can just use "[[Darkness Neosphere]]'s" effect.
+
==Traditional Format==
 
+
* "[[Royal Oppression]]" and "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" can be used with this card to control Special Summoning.
* Use this card to trump over any of your opponent's battle tricks (like "[[Honest]]", "[[Shrink]]" or other cards like these). Since this card cannot be destroyed in battle, your opponent either lets his/her monster be destroyed or waste their cards while you keep your monster.
 
 
 
* You can recycle "[[Depth Amulet]]" when you choose to let an attack go through and summon this card.
 
 
 
* You can use "[[Royal Decree]]" during your turn, return it to your hand and set it to use trap cards later, giving them only a small window of opportunity.
 
 
 
* "[[Final Attack Orders]]" and "[[Savage Colosseum]]" allow you to easily summon this card and then completely destroy your opponent's monsters. "[[Gaap the Divine Soldier]]" and/or "[[Ceasefire]]" can up the ante for a full-on "[[Raigeki]]" effect.
 
 
 
* Send "[[Sangan]]" from the Field and/or "[[Night Assailant]]" from your hand to help even out the [[card advantage]] you lost in Special Summoning this card. Using [[Floaters]] like "[[Mask of Darkness]]" or "[[Dark Mimic LV1]]" will also help offset the cost of Special Summoning this card.
 
 
 
* Use this card with [[Tour of Doom]] to prevent your opponent from normal or flip summoning half of the time without suffering from the downside yourself.
 
 
 
::* In addition, you can use [[Light of Intervention]] to prevent your opponent from setting monsters as well.
 
 
 
* In [[Traditional Format]] this card lets you reuse [[Imperial Order]] to save yourself having to destroy it to use Spell cards.
 
 
 
* Use [[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]] and/or [[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]] to prevent your opponent from using [[Dark Armed Dragon]]/[[Judgment Dragon]] and the like to destroy this card. (Note that [[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]] will negate this card's effects, meaning you will be unable to return that Trap Card to your hand, and leaving this card vulnerable.)
 
 
 
* Combo with [[Spirit Barrier]] to protect your Life Points.
 
 
 
* "[[Darkness Neosphere]]" can destroy monsters with equal [[ATK]] in battle, such as "[[Obelisk the Tormentor]]".
 
 
 
* This card works well in a [[Dark Gaia]] Deck.
 
 
 
* Send [[Macro Cosmos]] to your hand so your cards cannot be [[Removed from play]].
 
 
 
* Its helpful to lockdown your opponent's attack by using [[Gravity Bind]].
 
 
 
* Use Fiend-type monsters that summon other Fiends, like [[Stygian Security]], so your opponent will be tempted to attack over and over. This will help you thin out your deck and will let you always have the conditions met for Darkness Neosphere's summoning costs.
 
 
 
* This card is surprisingly useful in a [[Koa'ki Meiru]] deck. The card's summoning cost can easily be paid since Koa'ki Meirus revolve around keeping monsters with same type in Hand and field, and his effect can be abused with [[Core Reinforcement]] and [[Koa'ki Meiru Valafar]].
 
 
 
* This card is helpful aginst the [[Continuous Trap Cards]] that has cost, downside effect, etc.
