Tips

Search from deck

Summoning with 1 Tribute

By using these cards you can reduce the tribute cost for Archfiend Empress. Double Coston can be treated as 2 tributes when you're summoning a DARK monster which will benefit Archfiend Empress since it's a DARK monster. On the other hand, Cost Down reduces the levels of your monsters by 2, which makes Archfiend Empress' level down to 6.

Adding fuel to your graveyard

Archfiend Empress' effect can be used to defend your monsters but requires you to remove dark fiend types from the graveyard, therefore you need to add fuel to your grave.

  • Sphere Kuriboh has great synergy because it helps defend against an attack while also adding fuel to your graveyard.
  • Fiend Griefing sends fiends to your graveyard and can be used to disrupt effects that involve a card in your opponent's graveyard.
  • Trance Archfiend gains 500 attack in exchange for sending a fiend type monster from your hand to the grave, and can also be used to recover a fiend removed by the effect of Archfiend Empress.

Utilize Banished Cards

Doomsday Horror is great to be partnered with Archfiend Empress since its stat depends on the number of banished DARK monsters. While Chaos Zone gains Chaos Counter each time a monster is removed from play, it can special summon a banished monster to the field by removing its Chaos Counters. On the other hand, Trance Archfiend has the ability to add a banished monster back to your hand.

I use jowls of dark demise and the trap card a feint plan to get the tributes to summon her

Ive been using limit impulse to summon this card. Chuck a high lv dark fiend when you summon your tokens.

I don't like this card. Not only it's hard to summon, but it's effects are limited. Like, why can't it protect itself? It's not like it'll be broken if it can protect itself.

And before anyone say anything, Skilled Red Magician is too slow to summon this. Same goee for Archfiend Palabyrinth.

This card is designed to help the Archfiend Archetype.

Basically, This card is Summon Skull support.
Summon Skull is the only current Archfiend card available in duel links.

This card would be useful in those Summon Skull & Palabyrinth decks.

This seems like a card that will be good in the future.

I have a question,.. its first effect is to protect other dark-fiend type monsters but how are we going to resolve this effect? Do we need the empress on the field or in the hand? Just to be sure...
