* You can use "[[Vehicroid Connection Zone]]" with this card to summon either "[[Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill]]" or "[[Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]]", and "Vehicroid Connection Zone's" effect will prevent the Fusion monster from being destroyed at the end of the turn.
+
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Trap Trick]]", "[[Trap Tracks]]", "[[Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle]]", "[[Lilith, Lady of Lament]]", "[[Triple Tactics Thrust]]", "[[Angel of Blue Tears]]", "[[Farewelcome Labrynth]]", "[[Labrynth Set-Up]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Traps|generic searchers]].
  
−
* Summon a Machine-Type Fusion Monster using this card, then equip it with "[[Heavy Mech Support Platform]]" or "[[Armored Cybern]]" to prevent it from being destroyed at the end of the turn.
+
* '''NOTE''': This card's effect does not perform a Fusion Summon. Rather, it only provides an alternate method of using Fusion Materials for a Fusion Summoning effect.
  
−
* You can use this to summon "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" easily and then offer it to summon "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]".
+
* As a Trap Card, this card is normally best activated during the opponent's turn (rather than waiting 2 turns to activate this card during its controller's turn). Therefore, it works best with card effects that can Fusion Summon during the opponent's turn, such as those of "[[Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous]]", "[[Fusion Duplication]]", and "[[Necro Fusion]]".
 +
** "[[Quintet Magician]]" is a very good option to Fusion Summon during the opponent's turn, since its effect can potentially destroy all cards on the opponent's field (if 5 differently-named Fusion Materials were used), while its other effect can protect itself from the End Phase destruction of this Trap's effect.
 +
*** "[[The First Darklord]]" is a similar disruptive option, requiring 3 [[DARK]] [[Fairy]]-Type monsters as Fusion Material, but not only requires using "[[Darklord Morningstar]]" as Fusion Material in order to activate its field-destroying effect, but also possesses no immunity to this Trap's End Phase destruction.
  
−
* Combining this card with "[[Fusion Gate]]" lets you summon three copies of virtually any Fusion monster. The most common combo used here is to summon three copies of "[[Destiny End Dragoon]]".
+
* "[[Fusion Gate]]" works extremely well with this card, since this Trap's effect can be applied for any number of Fusion Summons during the turn it's activated, and that Field Spell has no restrictions on the number of times it can Fusion Summon in a single turn.
 +
** Since this combo enables many [[OTK]]s through its multiple "free" Fusion Summons, [[FTK]]s can also be enabled by using other card effects that allow this Trap to be activated the same turn it is Set or added to the hand, such as those of "[[Boogie Trap]]", "[[Labrynth Cooclock]]", "[[Makyura the Destructor]]", "[[Temple of the Kings]]", "[[Trap Tracks]]", and "[[Trap Trick]]".
 +
** "[[Elemental HERO Electrum]]" is a key card for enabling OTKs with this card, since it has an effect that returns all banished monsters to the Deck when it is Fusion Summoned (consequently only requiring the player to use 1 each of "[[Elemental HERO Avian]]", "[[Elemental HERO Bubbleman|Bubbleman]]", "[[Elemental HERO Burstinatrix|Burstinatrix]]", and "[[Elemental HERO Clayman|Clayman]]", instead of multiple copies).
 +
*** One example of an OTK is Fusion Summoning 2 copies of "Electrum" (returning its banished Fusion Materials to the Deck each time), before using them to Xyz Summon "[[Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max]]", which detaches 1 copy of "Electrum" from itself to inflict 2000 damage to the opponent. Then, both it and the "Electrum" in the Graveyard should be used to Fusion Summon either "[[Elemental HERO Gaia]]" or "[[Elemental HERO The Shining]]", and that Fusion Monster should be fused with the other "Electrum" now in the Graveyard to Summon either "Gaia" or "The Shining" (again), before Fusion Summoning a 3rd copy of "Electrum", whose effect will not only return its own Fusion Materials to the Deck, but also the banished "Gustav Max", twin copies of "Electrum", and other "Elemental HERO" Fusion Monster. This process should be repeated until the opponent's LP becomes 0, with either the Fusion Summon of "[[Elemental HERO Core]]" or a Link Summon being used to remove excess Fusion Monsters from the field as needed.
 +
*** Another OTK example is Fusion Summoning "[[Blaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment Bird]]" and "[[Elemental HERO Nova Master]]" first, before Fusion Summoning "Electrum" (using its effect to return all banished cards into the Deck). "Blaze Fenix" should then use its effect to inflict damage to the opponent, before Fusion Summoning a second copy of "Blaze Fenix" and "Nova Master" each (by using the Fusion Monsters already on the field as Fusion Material), followed by a second copy of "Electrum", and then using the effect of the new "Blaze Fenix" again. This process should be repeated until the opponent's LP becomes 0.
 +
** These OTKs can be supplemented by Fusion Summoning "[[Imperion Magnum the Superconductive Battlebot]]" first, in order to stave off a disruptive card effect that could stop the OTK, such as "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Infinite Impermanence]]", or "[[PSY-Framegear Gamma]]". However, that monster can only negate 1 activation per turn, and requires including 2 practically unusable monsters in one's Deck to achieve this.
 +
*** To a lesser extent, "[[Invoked Mechaba]]" can achieve the same thing, but additionally requires a discard of the same card type in order to negate a card effect activation. However, the presence and easy use of "[[Aleister the Invoker]]" by itself can be more reliable in non-OTK situations than the other option.
  
−
** Use this combo to summon "[[Elemental Hero Electrum]]". The Fusion Material will then be returned to your deck so they can be used again.
+
* Card effects can be used to prevent the destruction of the Fusion Monster(s) during the End Phase, such as those of "[[Decisive Battle of Golgonda]]", "[[Dimension Guardian]]", "[[Forbidden Dress]]", "[[Pianissimo]]", "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]" (Level 10 or higher monsters only), or [[Union monster]]s' Equip Card effects.
 +
** This can also work with certain Fusion Summoning effects that prevent their Summoned monster from being destroyed by card effects, such as "[[D-Fusion]]" (requires using only "[[Destiny HERO]]" monsters as Fusion Materials), "[[Greater Polymerization]]" (requires using 3 or more monsters as Fusion Materials), and "[[Vehicroid Connection Zone]]" (can only Fusion Summon "[[Vehicroid]]" Fusion Monsters).
 +
** Alternatively, monsters can be Summoned that cannot be destroyed by card effects, such as "[[Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord]]".
 +
** Alternatively, monsters can be Summoned that can Special Summon themselves after being destroyed, such as "[[Destiny End Dragoon]]" or "[[Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer]]".
 +
** Alternatively, other card effects that banish a monster temporarily can be used to rid Fusion Monsters of this Trap's lingering destruction effect, such as those of "[[Baba Barber]]", "[[Dimensionhole]]", "[[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]]", "[[Timebreaker Magician]]", or "[[World Legacy Clash]]".
  
−
** You can combine the above combo with "[[Cannon Soldier]]" (or any other card that uses tributes for life point loss) and "[[Dimensional Fissure]]". To use this combo you must have at least 2 Electrums in your fusion deck. Fusion summon [[Elemental Hero Electrum|Electrum]]. Due to his effect the material monsters are returned to your deck. Offer the Electrum to the "[[Cannon Soldier]]" to decrease your opponents life points (it is removed from play due to "[[Dimensional Fissure]]"). Then fusion summon a new Electrum which returns the first Electrum to your fusion deck with the fusion material. This creates a loop which can be used to destroy your opponents lifepoints.
+
* Even with just a single Fusion Summoning effect (such as "[[Polymerization]]" or the effect of "[[Proxy F Magician]]"), this Trap can still enable OTKs, due to the unlimited access it provides to Fusion Materials in the Deck and Graveyard.
 +
** "[[Clorless, Chaos King of Dark World]]" is a good OTK candidate, since its effect boosts its original ATK based on the number of Fusion Materials used for its Fusion Summon. The effect of "[[Catapult Turtle]]" can be used as the victory condition, or the effect of "[[Vengeful Servant]]" (or "[[Misfortune]]" combined with a control-changing effect (such as "[[Shien's Spy]]") can be used as the victory condition.
  
−
* Use this card with not just "[[Fusion Gate]]", but any fusing cards that remove the fusion material monsters from play, so that there is practically no loss from using "[[Chain Material]]".
+
* This card can be potentially useful in a "[[Melodious]]" Deck, as the effect of "[[Elegy the Melodious Diva]]" can protect their Fusion Monsters from being destroyed by this Trap's effect.
 +
** Additionally, the effect of "[[Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir]]" (Summoned with the use of this Trap's effect) can protect itself from being destroyed during the End Phase.
  
−
* Use this card to help fusion summon a [[Fusion Monster]] that is either also a fusion-material monster or for a card with an effect condition that demands the name of a particular card that happens to be a fusion monster.
+
==Traditional Format==
−
 
+
* Before a Fusion Monster(s) Summoned by this effect is destroyed, it can be Tributed for the Tribute Summon of "[[The Tyrant Neptune]]", whose effects can adopt the Tributed monsters' ATK/DEF as well as the effects of 1 of those monsters.
−
* Also, you can summon "[[Elemental Hero Divine Neos]]" using "[[Elemental Hero Electrum]]" as a [[Fusion Material Monster]], then make a second "[[Elemental Hero Divine Neos]]" to send the first one to the [[removed from play]], and fuse a second "[[Elemental Hero Electrum]]" to return the "[[Elemental Hero Divine Neos]]" to the [[Extra Deck]] to make an infinite cycle of fusion summons because you can return the materials of other fusions and the fusion cards themselves. (you can use cannon soldiers on other [[Elemental Hero]] fusions that are returned to the [[Extra Deck]] for reuse after fusing them into "[[Elemental Hero Divine Neos]]" and using the cycle)
 
−
 
 
−
* Despite the inability to attack during the turn this card is used, there are still several ways to pull off a Chimeratech OTK with this card:
 
−
**Burn Damage. "[[Ectoplasmer]]" is a popular choice, but "[[Catapult Turtle]]" is another option, as is "[[Vengeful Servant]]" with "[[Shien's Spy]]" or "[[Creature Swap]]".
 
−
**Use it during your opponent's turn, with "[[Battle Mania]]" and "[[Super Polymerization]]".
 
−
 
 
−
* Another way to use "[[Chain Material]]" with Chimeratech fusions is to use "[[Dimension Explosion]]", allowing you to Special Summon almost any machine at will. Some effective uses of this are:
 
−
** "[[Cyber Dragon]]" and "[[Proto-Cyber Dragon]]", allowing for an easy summon of "[[Cyber Twin Dragon]]", "[[Cyber Laser Dragon]]" or (if you have a second Proto-Cyber in hand) even "[[Cyber End Dragon]]" (If dueling another Machine-archetype deck, this is also an effective way to clear the opponent's field, using "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]".)
 
−
** Multiple members of other Machine Archetypes. Gadgets and Ancient Gears are good uses for this. For VWXYZ you may want to use "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" instead, and with [[Vehicroid]]s it's unneccesary, since you can just as easily use "[[Vehicroid Connection Zone]]".
 
−
** Two copies of "[[Perfect Machine King]]".
 
−
** "[[Barrel Dragon]]" and "[[Blowback Dragon]]". Especially useful if you have a fusion card in hand.
 
−
** Monsters to be used as Synchro Materials.
 
−
 
 
−
* Use in an Ancient Gear deck to summon [[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]], and you gain a free [[Ancient Gear Golem]] at the end of turn.
 
−
** Plus, use a [[Centrifugal Field]] to have two monsters come back at the end of the turn.
 
−
 
 
−
* When your opponent's field is empty, use this card to fusion summon both [[Ojama]] fusion monsters to cut your opponent off from summoning. Then activate [[Re-Fusion]] after they're destroyed.
 
−
 
 
−
* Use this card to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Ultimate Axon Kicker]]", which cannot be destroyed by card effects, or support your [[Fusion Monster]] with other cards that prevent it from being destroyed by card effects.
 
−
 
 
−
* Now you can use this card along with [[Tyrant's Temper]] to prevent the destruction of your monsters during the End Phase.
 
−
** This strategy works well in an exceptionally, [[Elemental Hero Deck]] and field Spell [[Fusion Gate]].

Traditional Format[edit]

  • Before a Fusion Monster(s) Summoned by this effect is destroyed, it can be Tributed for the Tribute Summon of "The Tyrant Neptune", whose effects can adopt the Tributed monsters' ATK/DEF as well as the effects of 1 of those monsters.
