• As a Warrior-Type LIGHT monster, this card can be recycled with "Beckoning Light" and "The Warrior Returning Alive".

• Use "Honest" when attacking your opponent's first and most powerful monster, then use the boosted ATK to crush your opponent's Life Points.

• Fairly easy cards to dump to the Graveyard such as "D.D. Crow" and "Effect Veiler" can be used to help summon this quickly.

• Equip "Armory Arm" to this card to inflict damage every time this card destroys a monster and raise its attack to 4000. If your opponent controls an Attack Position monster that hasn't modified its original ATK, destroying it in battle will always cause 4000 damage (difference in ATK + the damage inflicted by "Armory Arm"). If your opponent controls 2 (or more) Attack Position monsters that fit this condition OR controls only 1 Attack Position monster (so your second attack can be a direct attack), the ability to attacking twice of this card can perform an OTK.

Traditional Format

• Use "Painful Choice" to send DARK and LIGHT Attribute monsters to the Graveyard to make the summoning of this monster easier.

• After using its first effect of banishing a monster, activate "Metamorphosis" to turn this card into "Cyber Twin Dragon", "Gatling Dragon", etc.
