General description:
Red Nova Dragon is the first and only level 12 synchro monster and it has good reason to be level 12. It's now the most powerful monster in the game. And now has put Red Dragon Archfiend above other forms of Stardust Dragon including the new Shooting Star Dragon

Important things to remember:
1. it can't be destroyed by card effects
2. after syncing it has at least 5000atk
So off the bat it is already stronger than 5 headed dragon

Uses:

this card is a finisher bring it out and the game is basically in the bag

Strategies and game play:
This card may seem hard to get on the field, but when used in either infernity or hopeless dragon decks it can be summoned in one turn setting up some very easy OTKs.

i find that it works best with infernities because they can synchro very fast and involve having cards in the grave: which will boost Red Nova's atk

Combos with other cards:
Combine this with infernity beetle, infernity gun, and a level 4 monster and you have a very easy OTK

Ways to counteract it:
They are only a few ways to stop this card and that is by sending it back to the extra deck or removing it from play, so cards like dimensional prison will work very well

Strengths/Pros:
1. can't be destroyed by most traps or magics
2. can easily get an atk higher than any other card
3. easy to get on the field with right deck
4. very hard to stop once on the field

Weaknesses/Cons:
1. if not used in the right deck it can be annoying to get it onto the field
2. if it isn't destroyed in the process it can be removed from the field

Artwork and aesthetics:
Even the card says power with an explosion in the background and the 12 stars on a synchro card look very powerful

Overall rating:
9.5/10
