** An exception to this is when your "Stardust Dragon" in Defense Position is attacked by "Red Dragon Archfiend", "Stardust Dragon" will not be able to activate its effect.
* "Stardust Dragon" and any of its evolved forms ("[[Majestic Star Dragon]]","[[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode]]", "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]", "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]") are all vulnerable to each other because of their effects, and can also negate the effect of their support card "[[Starlight Road]]".
* You just need two cards in your hand to easily Summon this monster; "[[Summoner Monk]]" and a Spell card. Summon "Summoner Monk", use his effect to summon either "[[Rose, Warrior of Revenge]]", "[[Mist Valley Soldier]]", "[[Flamvell Magician]]", "[[Scrap Beast]]" or "[[Hyper Synchron]]" from your deck and tune them both to "Stardust Dragon".
* To summon this monster in one turn, use the effects of "[[Cyber Dragon]]", "[[Oracle of the Sun]]", "[[Vice Dragon]]" or "[[The Tricky]]" to Special Summon themselves, then [[Normal Summon]] a level 3 Tuner monster. Ideally these [[Tuner]] monsters have the ability to boost "Stardust Dragon", like "[[Trust Guardian]], "[[Counselor Lily]]" or "[[Flare Resonator]]".
**Normal Summon "[[Junk Synchron]]" and special summon a level 2 monster. Synchro summon "[[X-Saber Wayne]]" and special summon a level 3 warrior type from your hand, e.g. "[[Tune Warrior]]" or "[[Junk Synchron]]".
** Use "[[Quickdraw Synchron]]" with "[[Level Eater]]" to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Junk Warrior]]".
*** If you use this method, you can Normal Summon "[[Trust Guardian]]" from your hand and tune it with "Junk Warrior" to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon". Thanks to the effect of "Trust Guardian", "Stardust Dragon" will be extremely difficult to destroy.
** Use "[[Destiny Draw]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]" to get "[[Destiny Hero - Malicious]]" into the [[Graveyard]], then use his effect to Special Summon another copy of "Destiny Hero - Malicious".
***Alternatively, you can use "[[Dark Grepher]]"'s effect to to send "Destiny Hero - Malicious" from your hand to the Graveyard, then send "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]" from your deck to the graveyard or vice versa. You can then use their effects to Special Summon them to the field and Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon".
** Usually the best way to beat "Stardust Dragon" is simply to attack it with a card with more attack. At 2500, it's rather vulnerable to attacks but just be careful as your opponent will likely try to protect it.
* This card is a prime target for "[[Mind Control]]" or "[[Enemy Controller]]". Before it returned to your opponent's side, summon a Level 2 Dragon-Type Tuner(for example, "[[Dread Dragon]]") and tune them both to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Trident Dragion]]".
* You can use "[[Dragon's Rage]]" to almost ensure that you can deal damage each turn without hesitating to attack because of its revival effect.
* You can also use "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]"'s effect to revive "Stardust" in case it was destroyed by battle.
** Or, if you already use "[[Black Rose Dragon]]"'s effect to clear the field while you have "[[Totem Dragon]]" in your previous turn, you can Synchro Summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]" easily. First, Special Summon "Totem Dragon" via its effect during your Standby Phase. Second, banish it to Special Summon "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" and Special Summon "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" from your Graveyard. Third, [[Normal Summon]] "[[Flamvell Guard]]" and tune "Black Rose Dragon" with "Flamvell Guard" to form "Stardust Dragon"(this only work if your monster(s) in your Graveyard are all Dragon-Type monsters, though).
** You can also get "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" in your hand if you use "[[The White Stone of Legend]]" instead of "Flamvell Guard".
*In an [[Elemental HERO]] deck the fastest way to [[Synchro Summon]] this is using [[Elemental HERO Mariner]] and a level 3 monster like [[Comrade Swordsman of Landstar]].
* If Stardust Dragon was special summoned by "[[Starlight Road]]", you will not be able to use Stardust's Dragon's effect to [[Special Summon]] itself after it [[tribute]]s itself to [[negate]] an effect that [[destroy]]s a card on the [[field]]. Stardust Dragon must first be [[Synchro Summon]]ed Summoned properly before it can be [[Special Summon]]ed Summoned by any [[card effect]].
