"[[Chimeratech]]" [[monster]]s are related to, but not part of, the "Cyber Dragon" archetype, being composed of [[DARK]], Machine-Type [[Fusion Monster]]s. All "Chimeratech" monsters require multiple [[Fusion Material]] Monsters. In the case of "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" and "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]", one of the Material Monsters must be a "[[Cyber Dragon]]", whereas "[[Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon]]" requires one of the Material Monsters to be a "Cyber Dragon" monster. "[[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon]]" , on the other hand, requires two or more "Cyber Dragon" monsters for its [[Fusion Summon]]. The [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] of "Chimeratech Overdragon", "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" and "Chimeratech Fortress Megafleet Dragon" is a variable multiplied by the number of monsters used in its [[Fusion Summon]], which can be as high as the user wants, being x800 , x1000 and x1000x1200, respectively. "Rampage Dragon" is the only one whose ATK does not change, instead being able to destroy as many [[Spell Card|Spell]] or [[Trap Card]]s as materials used for its Fusion Summon.

There are times when "Chimeratech Overdragon" can be removed from the [[field]] as soon as its Summoned by means of "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", "[[Solemn Warning]]", and "[[Torrential Tribute]]". When you have LIGHT Attribute Machine-Type Monsters on your field, they can also be used as Summon requirements for "[[Cyber Eltanin]]" by just banishing them. Not only will "Cyber Eltanin" have high ATK, but once its Summoned to the field it also clears it of any other monsters besides itself , leaving your opponent open to a [[direct attack]]. A quick combo is to use the "[[Gadget]]s" to bring Machine-Types to your hand so you can fuse them with "[[Cyber Dragon]]" to create "Chimeratech Overdragon".

Using "[[Foolish Burial]]" to send "[[Cyber Dragon Core]]" from your Deck to the Graveyard, you will have conditions to quickly Special Summon any "Cyber Dragon" monster directly from the Deck. Another smart use for this monster, once it is treated as "Cyber Dragon" while on the field or in the Graveyard, is to banish it to boost the ATK of "Cyber Dragon Nova's" ATKvia its own effect, so this can be useful if its first effect were was used and you don't want to let leave it exposed on the fieldwith its low ATK.

This Deck variant focuses more on Rank 5 and control tactics rather than beat downbeatdown. For this build , ideal cards are the likes of "[[Artifact Moralltach]]" and "[[Artifact Sanctum]]" , which are easily splashed in the deck, since . Since most Cyber Dragon Decks are focuses focused on beat downbeatdown, both "Moralltach" and "Sanctum" provide an element of surprise over the opponent since both cards can potentially destroy the opponent's cards , as well as providing Rank 5 material and a solid beater. Due to the nature of both cards, the opponent may be reluctant to destroy your Spell/Trap cards , giving more freedom to the Cyber Dragon player to summon monsters.

Another useful monster pair of monsters is [[Chronomaly Golden Jet]] and [[Galaxy Soldier]] due . Due to both being LIGHT Machine-Type Monsters, they can be searched by [[Cyber Repair Plant]]. Because "Galaxy Soldier" is Summoned by discard LIGHT monsters, you will be able to fill your Graveyard up quickly to fuel both effects of "Repair Plant", as well as quickly Summon "Cyber Dragon Nova" or "Infinity". A good combo is to Normal Summon [[Cyber Dragon Core]] , then use its first effect to search "Repair Plant" , then let "Core" be destroyed, then the following turn use "Repair Plant" to search "Golden Jet" and banish "Core" to Special Summon "Cyber Dragon"via its second effect. Finally, finally Normal Summon "Golden Jet" and using its effect can to access nearly every Rank 5 monster (excluding [[C (archetype)|C]] monsters) including the powerful [[Constellar Pleiades]], although . "Cyber Dragon Drei" can also achieve this , but due to its restrictions , it can only do so after a the turnit uses its first effect. Another option is [[Star Drawing]], as it can allow the player to Draw a cardafter being used as Xyz Material, however it cannot be searched by "Repair Plant" nor can Xyz Summon "Pleiades" or "Cyber Dragon Nova" making it rather impractical.

Even Rank 5 Decks can enjoy very powerful offense, largely due to both [[Cyber Dragon Infinity]] being easily Summoned through "Nova", and "[[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon]]", as well as techs like [[Instant Fusion]] to Summon the Level 5 [[Panzer Dragon]] or "Rampage Dragon" due to their Levels, allowing another option for performing Rank 5 Xyz Summons without the need for "Drei", who will limit you to only Summon Machine-Type monsters. A good play is to Xyz Summon "Nova" through Cyber Dragon and another monster like (such as "Drei" or "Golden Jet"), then use the effect of "Nova" to Special Summon "Cyber Dragon" and then use "Instant Fusion" to Special Summon "Panzer Dragon" , then you can Xyz Summon into another Nova by using "Panzer Dragon" and the previously summoned "Cyber Dragon" and use its effect to Special Summon "Cyber Dragon" once more before ranking-up into "Cyber Dragon Infinity", then if the opponent has no monster or a single monster in attack position, you can use "Infinity's" effect to attach it to itself as a an Xyz Material. Finally the , if field is open to attack directly, attack with "Cyber Dragon", "Cyber Dragon Infinity" and "Cyber Dragon Nova" (who should attack last to make sure "Cyber Dragon" attacks too before it and then banish it that monster to boost "Nova's" ATK), potentially dealing over 8000 damage, and thanks to "Infinity's" negation effects effect the opponent is left with small little room to stop the ensuing offensive. This can be

"Rampage Dragon" can send "Cyber Dragon Core" or "[[Electromagnetic Turtle]]" to your Graveyard for strategic purposes. As such , it is also a good idea to run cards like "[[Power Bond]]" or "[[Overload Fusion]]" , since "Rampage Dragon" needs 2 or more "Cyber Dragon ''monsters''" unlike the other "ChimeratechOverdragon" and "Fortress Dragon" monsters that strictly needed require "Cyber Dragon", thus getting the materials is easily done through "Core" via its banishing effect and the "Repair Plant" it can getsearch via its first effect. If Fusion Summoned, "Rampage Dragon" can destroy at least 2 Spell or Trap cards, thus destroying possible resistance. Furthermore , if summoned through "Power Bond" it can double , its doubled ATK and in conjunction combined with its ability to gain an additional attack per monster sent from your Deck to the Graveyard (max 2)once per turn can inflict a devastating amount of damage. If the opponent controls only a single monster or , weak monsters or noneno monster at all, then "Rampage Dragon" can at best OTK the opponent on the spot after attacking three times. Even if you are unable to finish off the opponent with its attacks, otherwise if a OTK is not possible its dumping effect can still be put to strategic use for Xyz plays by sending cards like "Core" , to eventually fuel Rank 5 plays , or "Cyber Dragon" itself , combining with the likes of "[[Call of the Haunted]]".

The "[[Kaiju]]" archetype and [[A-to-Z|ABC]] Union monsters can work well with this variant of Cyber Dragon. If your opponent is on the defensive, you can Tribute their monsters to Summon "Kaiju" monsters such as "[[Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju]]" , then immediately take it back with "Cyber Dragon Infinity" or "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon". Kaiju monsters also open up the possibility for Rank 8 plays in Cyber Dragon decks, by using "[[Interrupted Kaiju Slumber]]" while you control no monsters, then Summoning "Cyber Dragon Drei", "Zwei", or "Core" to immediately summon "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" using it and the copy of "Jizukiru" you Summoned with "Interrupted Kaiju Slumber" to then using them both to Xyz Summon "[[Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy]]" or "[[Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand]]" to provide another layer of protect for monsters, like "Cyber Dragon Infinity", which "Number 38" can redirect attacks away from and "Felgrand" can make immune to card effects.

The Cyber Dragon OTK is made by using a high ATK monster (mainly monsters such as [[Cyber End Dragon]] and [[Cyber Twin Dragon]]), and boosting its attack to great potential extremely high amounts by using cards to increase their ATK points that they can kill the opponent in one turnsuch as [[Power Bond]] and [[Limiter Removal]], allowing for an OTK with a single attack. Ensure that [[Trap Stun]] or [[Royal Decree]] is Set and ready to use in case your opponent tries to use [[Bottomless Trap Hole]], [[Solemn Strike]], [[Solemn Warning]], [[Mirror Traps]], or even [[Malevolent Catastrophe]] (which would destroy the ABC Union Monsters if they are equipped, rendering your monsters vulnerable to opposing card effects and destruction). to get rid of your cards.

Cards such as "[[Magnetic Mosquito]]" and "[[System Down]]" also hurt them (especially System Down, as it banishes Machines), and are the most common, exploitable, and obvious countermeasures to this deck since "System Down" can eliminate the presence of all Machine-Type monsters on the field as well as those in the Graveyard (which the "Cyber Dragon" archetype are is heavily reliant on as most monsters within it allow them to share it's its name). "[[Karma Cut]]" has also been shown to be a very good counter measure countermeasure to the deck as it can easily eliminate every monster that shares the name of "Cyber Dragon" and is more splashable against common deck types such as [[Zombie]] and [[Harpie]]s. Another option is "[[Electric Virus]]" which , while uncommon , can allow the user to prevent a potential one turn kill OTK from the common extra deck Extra Deck monsters within the deckDeck. Although both "System Down" and "Karma Cut" can be mitigated by the effect of "[[Cyber Network]]" or "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]". Or , or you can use "Infinity" to negate the activation of these cards effects.

However , due to the existence of "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" that can employ a "Cyber Dragon" and Machine-Type monsters from anywhere on the field, Cyber Dragon monsters are ironically their own worst enemy, and even a good field can be turned into reduced to nothing and provide the opponent's "Fortress Dragon" with massive attack depending on the number of monsters employed. Due to the nature of its [[Special Summon]] procedure, not even "Infinity" can prevent it, thus making it a primordial enemy major threat for any Machine Deck.
