Tips

Change to defense

Red Archfiend Dragon has the effect of destroying all defense position monsters your opponent controls when he attacks a defense position monster. To make full use of this effect use cards that change your opponent's battle position. Windstorm of Etaqua and Curse of Anubis are the most effective since they are able to change multiple monsters to defense position. Although make sure you activate Curse of Anubis before summoning Red Dragon Archfiend so that he does not get changed to defense position himself.

Alternate forms

Here are some upgraded versions of Red Dragon Archfiend which require him and a specific support card to summon a more powerful version of himself. There are also skills that support the summoning of these upgraded forms that work with decks specifically made to bring them out

[Skill] descriptionUser
Assault Exchange
Shuffle 1 "/Assault Mode" card from your hand into the Deck. Add 1 "Assault Mode Activate" from your deck to your hand, This skill can be used once per turn.

Majestic Light
Shuffle 1 Tuner monster from your hand into your deck to summon Majestic Dragon from your deck. This skill can be used once per turn.

Effect Destruction

The effect of destroying your own monsters could be used to your advantage. Sacred Phoenix of Nephytys will revive itself after being destroyed and clear the board of all Spell/Trap cards. Yubel monsters will summon their next form upon being destroyed. And finally archetypes like Fire Kings have a number of effects that benefit them when destroyed by card effects.

I wish they'd put me (crystal wing synchro dragon) in the game so I can kick this "red daemon dragon's" 🔥 and prove I'm the strongest of the 4 dimensional dragons.

Why is this card an "Archfiend"? There is no synergy with them...
<< Anonymous

There is some synergy, look at Pandemonium, Archfiend Panlabyrinth, etc... Just take a look at certain OCG decks playing Archfiend if you can find them, and you can find that some may still consider using it as it benefits from being a sub-archetype of the Archfiend archetype.

This card is part of the sub-archetype Red Dragon Archfiend, which is also part of the main Archfiend/Daemon archetype. If you're still wondering why.

It has "Archfiend" in its name.

Synergy or not, that's all you need to be part of an archetype in Yugioh.

Only really useful as a generic Lv8 3000 ATK beater for some synchro decks, rather then Lv9 Gianticastle.

this looks like buffed red eyes+archfiend fusion

Well it is sort of based on the Black Skull Dragon, which is a fusion between Red-Eyes B. Dragon and Summoned Skull. Honestly, as soon as this card comes out I'm going to build a Red-Eyes Synchro Deck for it.

It's literally been showcased by Konami themselves at one of their recent events. Of course it's gonna be in the game, it's one of the main characters' Ace monster.
