• This card can be Special Summoned by using "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force" on "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", "Evilswarm Ouroboros", "Evilswarm Ophion", "Evilswarm Bahamut", and "Queen Dragun Djinn".

• This card can also be Special Summoned by using "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" on any Rank 5 Xyz monster. Alternatively, you can use "D. Tribe" followed by "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" or "Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force".

• "Outer God Nyarla" can assist in the summoning of this card when used with "Rank-Up-Magic" cards by having it attach a Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard to it using its effect as well as manipulating its Rank.

• This card is easily Summonable in "Hieratic" Decks and "Hazy Flame" Decks which heavily use Level 6 monsters.
  • In addition, "Hazy Flame" decks can make excellent use of this card, given that the archetype (through "Hazy Pillar") has a strong emphasis on restoring Xyz Material.

• This card can be recycled with "Recurring Nightmare" and "Dark Eruption".

• Use this card's second effect to add an opponent's monster that can be Normal Summoned to the top of their Deck, then activate "Conscription" to Special Summon that monster to your side of the field.

• Since this card can restore its Xyz Materials, cards like "Xyz Veil" can protect it efficiently.

• This card can be used for "Deck Devastation Virus" or "Eradicator Epidemic Virus" due to its ability to manipulate its ATK.

• Use "Overlay Booster" to grant this card an additional 500 ATK for each Xyz Material it has.

• While this monster's Xyz Material-gaining effect is costly, it can be extremely effective both in and against Graveyard-heavy decks. You can reuse a spent card from your own Graveyard, or get rid of a card from your opponent's Graveyard, or even place a useless card from the opponent's Graveyard onto their Deck to make them waste their Draw Phase.

• Use cards like "Overlay Eater" and "Overlay Regen" to increase this cards Xyz Material count and thus boost its ATK and effects.
  • When this monster's Xyz Material is depleted, such as after its last attack or if it was re-Summoned after being destroyed, you can also use "Numbers Overlay Boost" to restore its ATK and Xyz Material reserve right away.

Countering

• Using "Skill Drain" will negate this card's effect, making it much easier to destroy in battle.

• If this card has high ATK, using "Magic Cylinder" will deal even more damage to your opponent.

• You can steal Xyz Materials from this card with cards like "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to reduce its ATK.

• "Necrovalley" will prevent this card's effect from targeting cards in the Graveyard, and this in turns prevents this card from gaining Xyz Materials.
