Traditional Format

• "Igknight" Decks can easily Summon this card at maximum power after a Pendulum Summon with "Igknight Paladin" and "Igknight Templar".

• If a Level 4 Warrior-Type monster and "Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier" is already on your field to get 2 "Heroic Challenger - Extra Swords". Normal Summon "Heroic Challenger - Double Lance" to give this card access to all of its effects. When this card is Xyz Summoned in this manner, there will be a seemingly unstoppable monster with "Extra Swords" giving it even more ATK.
  • During your opponent's End Phase, activate "Reinforce Truth" to Special Summon "Ambush Soldier". This allows its effect to be activated during your Standby Phase and save your Battle Phase at the same time.

• This card can be easily Summoned with maximum Xyz Materials with the effect of "Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser" in a "Battlin' Boxer" Deck.

• Pairing the effect of "Upstart Golden Ninja" with "Heroic Challenger - Assault Halberd", "Photon Thrasher" or "Goblindbergh" can easily get 5 Materials on the field, provided there are more copies of "Upstart Golden Ninja" in your Deck and a couple of Traps in hand. Ideally the Summon Chain would be "Assault Halberd"/"Thrasher" > "Goblindbergh" > "UGN" > "UGN" > Lvl-4 "Ninja" >> "Rhongomyniad".

• Cards like "Doggy Diver"/"Blue Mountain Butterspy" can Special Summon themselves with their effects, giving more monsters to be Xyz summoned with.

• Use cards like "Overlay Regen" and "Overlay Eater" to supply this card with more Xyz Materials to use its effects.

• If this card has 2 or less Xyz Materials, this card's attack can be doubled with "Heroic Chance".

• Tips on getting 5 monsters to Xyz Summon this card:
  • The easiest way to Xyz Summon this monster with all 5 Xyz Materials is to Special Summon "Heroic Challenger - Assault Halberd" with its own effect, then Normal Summon "Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades". "Thousand Blades" can then discard a "Heroic" monster to Special Summon another copy of "Thousand Blades", who can then repeat that process until there are 3 copies of "Thousand Blades" and a fifth "Heroic" monster. The only downside is needing 3 "Heroic" cards in the hand in addition to "Assault Halberd" and the first "Thousand Blades".
  • "Soul Charge" can be used to Special Summon any number of Level 4 Warrior-Type monsters from your Graveyard, depending on how many Warrior-Type monsters can be Summoned this turn by any other means.
  • Use "Call of the Haunted" or "Limit Reverse" to Special Summon "Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword" from the Graveyard, then activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get 2 more copies. Normal Summon "Heroic Challenger - Double Lance" and use its effect to Special Summon another from your hand or Graveyard.
  • Normal Summon "Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades", then use its effect to bring another "Thousand Blades" to the field. Use the second "Thousand Blades" to Special Summon "Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword" from the Deck. After it is Special Summoned, "Inferno Reckless Summon" can be Chained to Special Summon 2 more "Extra Swords" to the field. There will now be 5 Materials to Special Summon "Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad". If your opponent also Special Summoned monsters by the effect of "Inferno Reckless Summon", they can just be destroyed them by the effect of "Rhongomyniad".
    • 1 "Thousand Blades" can also be Special Summoned from your hand via "Goblindbergh" and follow the remaining steps.

• In decks which can summon both Level 4 and Level 3 monsters (such as "Gouki"), Xyz Summon this card with 2 materials, then Xyz Summon "Number 75: Bamboozling Gossip Shadow" and use the effect of "Bamboozling Gossip Shadow" for this card to gain at least three more materials.

• If this card that has 4 or more Materials is combined with "Light of Intervention", your opponent cannot place any monsters on the field, allowing direct damage to be inflicted more often.

• This card is easily splashable in a Satellarknight deck. If one uses Altair to get the materials needed for Rhongomyniad, as long as Rhongomyniad was summoned with at least three materials, Altair would not prevent Rhongomyniad from attacking that turn.

• "Numbers Eveil" is a strong card to Summon this card with, granting it 4 materials right off the bat.

• Use this card with "Sales Ban" so that you don't activate its effect that requires you to detach 1 material from itself for the rest of the duel, while permanently keeping its other Continuous Effects.

Counters

Even if this card has at least 3 materials, it can be removed from the field with:

• Any monster that allows you to summon by tributing a monster on your opponent's field, such as "Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju" or "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode". Note that this doesn't work if Rhongomyniad has 4+ materials since it locks you out of summoning in that case.
• "Xyz Encore", which has a special ruling that states "detach all Xyz Materials from an Xyz Monster" is not treated as an effect that affects said monster
• "Herald of the Abyss", if your opponent has no other face-up monster with the same Type and Attribute
• "Evenly Matched", if your opponent controls a Token in addition to this card, since tokens can't be banished face-down. The effects of "Junk Collector" or "Transaction Rollback" can also copy the effect of your "Evenly Matched" to get rid of an opponent's copy of this card if you do not control any other cards.
• "Ferret Flames", if your LP is less than this card's ATK (which would typically be 3000).
• "Share the Pain", if you have a monster on your field (which you can set if this card has 4+ materials), and your opponent only has this card on the field
• "Transmission Gear", since its effect makes the losing player banish their battling monster face-down, and is not an effect that is applied to the battling monster
• "Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon", which forces your opponent to send their monster to the graveyard if it can't be flipped face-down.
