Card Tips:Inferno Fire Blast
- This card can be searched by "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic", and other generic searchers.
- Use "Black Dragon's Chick" or "Ancient Rules" to Special Summon "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" on your first turn. That way, heavy damage can be inflicted to your opponent.
- But be wary of "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness", use cards like "D.D. Designator" first, although it can have a drawback.
- Play this card, then Tribute your "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" to Special Summon "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon", so a 2700+ powerhouse can attacked after inflicting the damage.
- "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" can also be banished for "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", or use the monster for the Fusion Summon of either "Meteor Black Dragon" or "Black Skull Dragon", so that an attack is possible.
- "Swing of Memories" is optimal for both strategies, because removing "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" from the field would void the effect of "Swing of Memories", which would otherwise destroy your monster at the end of the turn.
- More than 2400 points of damage can be dealt with this card if it is combined with "Magical Stone Excavation" and "Spell Reclamation".
- Your opponent can actually be OTK by Summoning "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" and playing 3 copies of "Inferno Fire Blast" + 1 "Dragon's Gunfire" or "Ookazi" or "Dark Room of Nightmare".
- Even if there are hardly any cards in your hand after getting out "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", "Serial Spell" can be Chained and send the 1 or 2 remaining cards in your hand to deal out 4800 in one turn.
- If your opponent has 1700 LP or less, use "Elemental HERO Prisma" to reveal "Black Skull Dragon", sending "Red-Eyes" to copy its name. Then "Inferno Fire Blast" can be used for 1700 direct damage, thus winning the duel.
- This card can be used to get around an effect that would make your "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" unable to attack (i.e. "Gravity Bind", "Tribute Doll", "Spirit Reaper", etc.).
- Or a card that lowers your monster's ATK.
- Use this card with a monster that was Summoned with "Red-Eyes Fusion", as that card will treat that monster as the original "Red-Eyes Black Dragon". Any of the applicable targets, "Black Skull Dragon", "Meteor Black Dragon", "Archfiend Black Skull Dragon" and "Meteor Black Comet Dragon", have more ATK than the original "Red-Eyes", allowing yourself to inflict more damage.
- If there are three copies of this card in your hand after Fusion Summoning with "Red-Eyes Fusion", use them to deal effect damage, that can range from 9600 (if "Black Skull Dragon" or "Archfiend Black Skull Dragon" is Summoned) to 10500 (if "Meteor Black Dragon" is Summoned). This leads to an OTK most of the time.
- If "Meteor Black Comet Dragon" is Summoned, an OTK (or even an FTK) can be achieved after using its effect and sending any Level 7 or higher "Red-Eyes" monster (since the ones with lower Level don't have enough ATK for the OTK), and then using two copies of this card.
- Make sure there is a "Trap Stun", "Energy-Absorbing Monolith" or "Rainbow Life" on your field if there is a plan on using this card.
