You can operate Buster Blader with the Ritual Beast line because most of the monsters are Fusion-type. One good thing about the Ritual Beast line is that they can resist effects, from there, you can both protect your side of the field and use them and DNA to quickly bring BBDDS to the field.
Elemental HERO Brave Neos, Elemental HERO Neos and Neos Fusion (Neos Engine)
Elemental HERO Brave Neos

Neos Fusion
Special Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck that lists exactly 2 monsters as material, including "Elemental HERO Neos", by sending those monsters from your hand, Deck, or field, ignoring its Summoning conditions. For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters. If a Fusion Monster(s) you control that lists "Elemental HERO Neos" as material would be destroyed by battle or card effect, or shuffled into the Extra Deck by its own effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead.
When talking about the Neos series , we always think of Heroes with extremely fast summoning speed and strength that makes them almost invincible. Therefore, combining them with Buster Blader is also not a bad idea when they are also the line that uses the main monster, the Fusion system. That's why the flexibility and balance of Buster Blader will be increased.

Recently appearing in early 2021, Gaia is a card line that is considered quite cost-effective and helps you climb to KoG very easily. Because of this and most of them are dragon-type, using a fusion material to replace Buster Blader and Gaia is completely reasonable because they can bring out key monsters from the array. Your Extra Deck. However, with such high strength, their only weakness is still their annoying backrows .

You can only use this effect of "Invocation" once per turn.
Tech Cards
Most longtime players of the Buster Blader series will always notice that the only weakness is the backrow. Despite the ability to overcome Dragon-race monsters, if they are not able to protect themselves, Dragon Slayers can only be destroyed to the grave or eliminated from the match . Therefore, to create the most stable Buster Blader deck for you, always prepare yourself a fairly tough tech set to be able to knock out your opponent's backrow set.

Matchups
- Blue-Eyes
- Red-Eyes
- Resonator
- Synchron
- Gaia
- Dragunity
- Hieratic
- Chaos Levianeer
- Shiranui Traps: this is the most annoying line of cards I've ever seen because of their versatility and huge array of traps that can sink your entire deck in one turn.
- Harpie Lady: when encountering this line of cards, if you are very lucky, you will draw DNA into your hand and transform them. However, life is not inherently easy, Harpie Lady always has cards in her that can quickly remove backrows and from there, DNA will no longer be valuable and the opponent's main monster will activate. Activate your abilities and return our monsters to your hand, so it's best to use their main monsters as fusion materials. That will reduce their ability to come back.
- Fortune Ladies: Fortune Ladies are a tough matchup because they have canadias/floodgates or counter-traps at their disposal, which can mess with your BBDDS. However, the good news is that you have read this guide and prepared yourself with quite a few Techs to remove backrows.
- Water Xyz/ Fish: with a line that mainly uses Water The main problem is that they rotate their Extra Deck very quickly and that messes up your squad, not to mention, they always prepare a lot of Lance, not only to resist the effects of their monsters but also Reduce your monster's attack points and take advantage of Shark Drake's ability to attack a second time. The only thing you can do is wait for DNA to enter your hand and turn the tide of the battle.
- Melodious: This is a line of cards that can counter almost every current meta line, and they can also counter an Anti-meta line like Buster Blader due to its overreliance on special summons. However, like any other matchup, what you can do is place your DNA and transform your opponent's monsters into Dragon-type monsters and start slaying them.
