Card Tips:The Winged Dragon of Ra


 * Cosmic Compass combined with Double Summon can make an excellent combo to summon Ra, providing if your opponent has atleast 2 monsters in play.


 * A Perfect Combo is to Summon Ra, activating the life point>ATK effect, then going for Last Turn For an Instant Win! (Traditional Only)


 * This card can be useful with Self-Destruct Button.


 * Use Life Point gaining cards or Life Equalizer to gain access to this card's monster destroying effect.


 * As the legal Ra can not be Special Summoned you can use Monster Reincarnation, A Feather of the Phoenix, Herald of Creation, Pot of Avarice or other such cards to return it to your hand if it gets Discarded or Destroyed.


 * You can use Trap Monsters and Imperial Custom to gain tributes for this card.


 * Use Destruct Potion or Mystik Wok to regain the Life Points used for attack when this card may be Destroyed.


 * Dark Worlds, X-Sabers, Lightsworns, The Six Samurai, Psychics, or Blackwings can work well with this card as they can swarm the Field and be used for tributes.
 * Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy, Gilasaurus, Turbo Booster and Jester Confit are also excellent monsters to use for this card's summon.


 * Supremacy Berry can be grand after summoning this card as it often gains you the power to kill 2 monsters and maybe Direct attack for massive damage.


 * Draining Shield allows you to build up Life Points for either of this card's effects.


 * Enchanted Javelin lets you gain back the life points immediately after the summon.


 * You can use Nightmare Archfiends and Owner's Seal as a combination to instantly Special Summon 3 monsters to Tribute for this card, which can also work for Obelisk the Tormentor.


 * 2 copies of Life Absorbing Machine can give you back the Life Points you paid for the effects of The Winged Dragon of Ra, but three is just peachy.


 * Leave this card's attack at zero, and equip it with Heart of Clear Water to protect it so you can use its monster destruction effect.
 * Using Spirit Barrier you can avoid taking damage from your opponent's monsters.


 * Have Dark Bribe on the field because this card can be targeted by effects.


 * Having Ancient Fairy Dragon on the field will ensure life points to use for Ra's destruction effect, and then you can attack directly with it.


 * If both you and your opponent have around the same amount of Life Points before you activate The Winged Dragon of Ra's ATK and DEF increasing effect, activate another card effect that increases the ATK of Ra and attempt to attack for game.


 * With Healing Wave Generator on the field with this card you can generate just enough life points to use this card's destruction effect.


 * Use Foolish Burial to send this card directly from the Deck to the Graveyard, which makes it easier to use or find, saving the need to use cards with effects to Draw a card(s), or using cards like Different Dimension Capsule or Gold Sarcophagus to find Ra.


 * In a Psychic Deck you can use Telekinetic Power Well in order to summon three level 2 or lower Psychic-type monsters to fulfil this monsters summoning requirements.


 * Dian Keto the Cure Master gives you just enough life points to activate the destruction effect.


 * Summon this card using Hardened Armed Dragon to give it the card effect destruction immunity that it had in the anime.


 * You can use DNA Surgery to transform this card in Psychic monster, and you can equip this card with Telekinetic Charging Cell, and you can use its second effect for free. (Only works if your Winged Dragon of Ra is effected by your own card effects)


 * This card can easily OTK in a Psychic deck with DNA Surgery, Brain Research Lab, and Rainbow Life. When you summon Ra, you can pay the life points and gain attack. Then with DNA Surgery and Brain Research Lab, you can use its second effect to clear your opponents monsters. Then you can activate Rainbow Life and Giant Trunade to gain life points and clear your opponents field for a quick win.


 * With Prime Material Dragon in play along side The Winged Dragon of Ra your opponent cant inflict damage to you but the exact opposite which can benefit this card greatly, for both its protection and its life point effects.


 * Morale Boost along with Flint and Flint Lock can give you an infinite life point boost to use for either of Ra's effects.


 * Use Mystik Wok after you summon Ra ,if you used his point to point transfer effect, on another monster you control to gain it's ATK or DEF for life points, so that you can use those life points to activate Ra's monster destruction ability. Also you can keep Mystik Wok face down if you used the point to point transfer ability of Ra. This is because you only have 100 LP left and if your opponent can use a card effect that would wipe out the remaining 100 LP, you can activate Mystik Wok on Ra and gain his ATK back to your life points, similar to how De-Fusion was used on Ra except Ra will be sent to the graveyard, in that case Herald of Creation can be used to add it back to your hand. Better yet you can use Mystik Wok ahead of the summoning of Ra, assuming you have 8000 LP, and then use the point to point transfer so that Ra would have more than 7900 ATK, potentially 10,000 or more.


 * Using two copies of Soul Absorption and Banisher of the Radience/Banisher of the Light/Macro Cosmos/Dimensional Fissure with this card can work well if you first use Dian Keto the Cure Master or something similar.
