In addition, the following effect can be used once per turn and twice per Duel. Remove 1 Xyz Material from 1 Raidraptor - Rise Falcon you control, and Set 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card to your field from your Deck.

(Only 1 copy of cards with the same name can be Set during the Duel with this Skill.) At the end of the turn you have used this Skill, return all Rank 4 Xyz Monsters on your field and/or Graveyard to the Extra Deck.

How to Play

Raidraptors

Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius
Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius
DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 1100 / DEF 1900
Raiders Requiem [UR]
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if this card was Normal or Special Summoned this turn: You can increase the Levels of all "Raidraptor" monsters you currently control by 1. During your Main Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there this turn: You can banish this card; add 1 "Raidraptor" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius". You can only use this effect of "Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius" once per turn.

Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius is a crucial card in Raidraptor decks as it enables players to increase the levels of all Raidraptor monsters on their field, making it easier to Xyz Summon Rank 5 Raidraptor Xyz Monsters. Additionally, its effect to search for a Raidraptor card from the deck can help players add key cards to hand and set up their field for future plays.

Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius
Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius
DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 1800 / DEF 400
Raiders Requiem [UR]
During your Main Phase, if this card was Normal or Special Summoned this turn: You can send 1 "Raidraptor" card from your Deck to the Graveyard. At the end of your Battle Phase, if this card destroyed an opponent's monster by battle this turn: You can add 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Quick-Play Spell Card from your Deck to your hand, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except "Raidraptor" monsters. You can only use each effect of "Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius" once per turn.

Raidraptor - Tribute Lanius is also a good card in the Raidraptor deck, as it can send any "Raidraptor" card from your deck to the graveyard during your Main Phase. This can help you set up your graveyard for later plays.

Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius
Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius
DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 1300 / DEF 1600
Shay Obsidian Roaming Event [SR]
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if this card was Normal or Special Summoned this turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Raidraptor" monster from your hand.

Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius can be a useful card in a Raidraptor deck on Duel Links. Its effect to special summon a level 4 or lower "Raidraptor" monster from your hand can help you quickly establish a strong field presence and set up for Xyz Summons.

Raidraptor - Pain Lanius
Raidraptor - Pain Lanius
DARK Winged Beast ★1
ATK 100 / DEF 100
Shay Unlock Event [SR]
Cannot be used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, except for the Xyz Summon of a Winged Beast-Type monster. If this card is in your hand: You can target 1 "Raidraptor" monster you control that has a Level; take damage equal to its ATK or DEF (whichever is lower, but your choice if tied), and if you do, Special Summon this card, and if you do that, this card's Level becomes the current Level of the targeted monster. You can only use this effect of "Raidraptor - Pain Lanius" once per turn.

Raidraptor - Pain Lanius can be useful in certain situations, as its effect allows you to Special Summon it from your hand by taking damage equal to the ATK or DEF (whichever is lower) of a targeted "Raidraptor" monster. However, it can be risky to use this effect, as taking damage can put you at a disadvantage. Its restriction to only being used as an Xyz Material for a Winged Beast-Type monster also limits its usefulness.

Raidraptor - Singing Lanius
Raidraptor - Singing Lanius
DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 100 / DEF 100
Raiders Requiem [N]
If you control a face-up Xyz Monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Raidraptor - Singing Lanius" once per turn this way.

Raidraptor - Singing Lanius is a decent card in the Raidraptor deck, as it allows you to Special Summon it from your hand if you control a face-up Xyz monster. This is good for Xyz Summon Play.

Raidraptor Xyz Monsters

Raidraptor decks in Duel Links rely heavily on Xyz summoning, and all of the Raidraptor monsters you mentioned are important parts of the archetype. Here's a breakdown of each card's usefulness:

  • Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon: A formidable boss monster with the ability to attack all monsters your opponent controls, once each by detaching 1 Xyz Material. Its effect to reduce an opponent's monster's ATK and DEF to 0 when it battles is also very powerful. Its additional effect, gained when it has a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster as Xyz Material, allows it to destroy an opponent's monster and inflict damage equal to half its ATK on the field, making it even more of a threat.

  • Raidraptor - Rise Falcon: This monster can attack all Special Summoned monsters, making it a great option for dealing with decks that rely heavily on Special Summoning. Its ATK-boosting effect can also be useful for taking down stronger monsters, but it requires detaching an Xyz Material, which can leave the monster vulnerable.

  • Raidraptor - Force Strix: This monster's effect of adding a Level 4 DARK Winged Beast-Type monster from your Deck to your hand is very useful for searching out other Raidraptor monsters, and its ATK and DEF can get quite high if you have other Winged Beast-Type monsters on the field.

  • Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon: This monster's ability to attack directly can be useful for dealing damage to your opponent, and its effect of destroying Special Summoned monsters can be a devastating blow to your opponent's strategy. However, its high Level and Xyz Material requirements can make it difficult to summon.

  • Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon: This monster's ability to destroy an opponent's monster and deal damage can be useful for getting rid of problematic monsters and chipping away at your opponent's LP. Its effect of reviving a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster from the Graveyard can also be helpful for getting back key monsters that have been destroyed.
Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon
Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon
DARK Winged Beast ★6
ATK 2000 / DEF 3000
Shay Unlock Event [UR]
3 Level 6 Winged Beast-Type monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; this turn, this card can attack all monsters your opponent controls, once each. At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles an opponent's face-up Special Summoned monster: That monster's ATK and DEF become 0. If this card has a "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster as Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the ATK that monster had on the field.
Raidraptor - Rise Falcon

DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 100 / DEF 2000
Shay Obsidian at Lvl 11, 23, and 35 [UR]
3 Level 4 Winged Beast-Type monsters
This card can attack all Special Summoned monsters your opponent controls, once each. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; this card gains ATK equal to that monster's current ATK.
Raidraptor - Force Strix
Raidraptor - Force Strix
DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 100 / DEF 2000
Raiders Requiem [SR]
2 Level 4 monsters
This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each Winged Beast-Type monster you control (other than this card). Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; add 1 Level 4 DARK Winged Beast-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.
Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon
Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon
DARK Winged Beast ★5
ATK 1000 / DEF 2000
Raiders Requiem [R]
3 Level 5 Winged Beast-Type monsters
This card can attack directly while it has Xyz Material. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy as many Special Summoned monsters your opponent controls as possible, and if you do, inflict 250 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed.
Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon
Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon
DARK Winged Beast ★5
ATK 2000 / DEF 2000
Raiders Requiem [R]
2 Level 5 monsters
If this card has an Xyz Monster as Xyz Material, it gains this effect.
● Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half its original ATK.
If this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent's card (by battle or card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: You can target 1 "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster in your Graveyard, except "Raidraptor - Stranger Falcon"; Special Summon it, and if you do, attach this card to it as Xyz Material.

Raidraptor - Nest

Raidraptor - Nest

Continuous Spell
Shay Obsidian at 3, 14, and 25 [SR]
If you control 2 or more "Raidraptor" monsters: You can add 1 "Raidraptor" monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Raidraptor - Nest" once per turn.

Raidraptor - Nest is a very important card in a Raidraptor deck. It allows you to search for any Raidraptor monster from your deck or graveyard, which can help you get the right card you need for your plays. This card is especially useful for searching for Raidraptor - Mimicry Lanius or Raidraptor - Force Strix, which are key cards in the deck. Additionally, the condition of controlling 2 or more "Raidraptor" monsters is easy to fulfill, as Raidraptor decks typically rely on swarming the field with their monsters.

Rank-Up Magics

Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force
Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force
Normal Spell
Shay Obsidian at Lvl 10, 18, and 33 [UR]
Pay half your LP, then target 1 "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, then Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 Xyz Monster that is 2 Ranks higher than that monster, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon.)

Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force can be used to revive an Xyz monster from the graveyard and then upgrade it to an Xyz monster that is two ranks higher. This can be a powerful play that can quickly put a lot of pressure on your opponent. However, the cost of paying half your LP can be quite steep, so it is important to use this card at the right time and make sure that you can still survive your opponent's attacks.

Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force
Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force
Normal Spell
Raiders Requiem [R]
Target 1 face-up Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Raidraptor" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that target, by using that target as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to that target also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) You can banish this card from your Graveyard and 1 "Raidraptor" card from your hand, then target 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell Card in your Graveyard, except "Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force"; add it to your hand.

Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force, on the other hand, can be used to upgrade an Xyz monster to an Xyz monster that is one rank higher. Additionally, the ability to recycle a "Rank-Up-Magic" spell card from the graveyard can be very useful for setting up future plays.

Techs

Mystical Space Typhoon
Mystical Space Typhoon
Quick Spell
Antinomic Theory [UR]
Selection Box Vol.03 Mini [UR]
Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.

Mystical Space Typhoon allows you to quickly get rid of your opponent's back row and disrupt their plays.

Book of Moon
Book of Moon
Quick Spell
Chaotic Soldiers [UR]
Selection Box Vol.04 [UR]
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defense Position.

Book of Moon allows you to protect your own monsters from attacks and effects by flipping them face-down or disrupt your opponent's plays by flipping their monsters face-down. It can also be used to dodge effects that target face-up monsters.

Swallows Nest
Swallows Nest
Quick Spell
Aerial Assault [SR]
Tribute 1 face-up Winged Beast-Type monster; Special Summon 1 Winged Beast-Type monster from your Deck with the same Level the Tributed monster had on the field.

Swallow's Nest can be a useful card in a Raidraptor deck, as it allows you to quickly swap out one Winged Beast-Type monster on the field for another from your deck with the same Level. This can help you to easily bring out stronger monsters or set up for powerful Xyz Summons.

Compulsory Evacuation Device
Compulsory Evacuation Device
Normal Trap
Selection Box Vol.04 Mini [UR]
Target 1 monster on the field; return that target to the hand.

Compulsory Evacuation Device can be a decent card in some situations, as it allows you to return a problematic monster to your opponent's hand.

Extra Decks

Constellar Ptolemy M7
Constellar Ptolemy M7
LIGHT Machine ★6
ATK 2700 / DEF 2000
Infinite Ray [UR]
Selection Box Vol.03 Mini [UR]
2 Level 6 monsters
You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Constellar" Xyz Monster you control as the Xyz Material, other than "Constellar Ptolemy M7". (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) If Summoned this way, the following effect cannot be activated this turn. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster on the field or in either player's Graveyard; return that target to the hand.

Ptolemy M7 provides non-destruction removal which also doesn't send the target to the graveyard, bypassing most floating. Monsters that do not end up in the graveyard are also harder to recycle, especially if it was an Extra Deck monster.

You can also select a monster in your own graveyard and recover it.

Evolzar Solda
Evolzar Solda
FIRE Dragon ★6
ATK 2600 / DEF 1000
Raiders Requiem [SR]
2 Level 6 Dinosaur-Type monsters
This card cannot be destroyed by card effects while it has Xyz Material. When your opponent Special Summons a monster(s): You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy that monster(s).

Evolzar Solda's effect of being immune to destruction by card effects while it has Xyz material can make it difficult for your opponent to remove from the field. Additionally, its effect of destroying a monster your opponent Special Summons by detaching an Xyz material can be helpful for disrupting their plays and removing threats from the field.

Wee Witchs Apprentice
Wee Witchs Apprentice
DARK Spellcaster
ATK 1400 / DEF 2
Arms of Giant [R]
2 DARK monsters
All DARK monsters on the field gain 500 ATK/DEF, also all LIGHT monsters on the field lose 400 ATK/DEF. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 DARK monster in your GY; add it to your hand. You can only use this effect of “Wee Witch's Apprentice” once per turn.

Wee Witch's Apprentice can be a useful addition to a Raidraptor deck due to its ability to boost the ATK and DEF of DARK monsters, which many Raidraptor monsters are. Its ability to search for a DARK monster from the graveyard when it is destroyed is also a helpful effect.

Other Cards Option

Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius

Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius
Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius
DARK Winged Beast ★4
ATK 500 / DEF 1500
Raiders Requiem [R]

If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius" from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius" once per turn. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate either of this card's effects, except "Raidraptor" monsters.

No Revolution Falcon? Its base battle effect is so good, especially when you can climb easily with soul shave.
