• This card can be searched by "Dark Sage", "Ancient Gear Drill" and "Alchemic Magician".

• You can use this card in late Duel with many Rank 4s in the Graveyard to Summon a Rank 5 Chaos Number and equip Stoic Challenge to gain a massive power up, possibly enough to end the game.
  • Summon Number C101: Silent Honor DARK and use its effect to attach one more monster before equipping Stoic to gain more attack. Keep in mind Stoic Challenge only doubles battle damage if another monster is battled, so leaving an attack position monster on the field may yield more damage then a direct attack.
  • Alternatively, provided you don't need to concern yourself with monster removal, you could summon "Number C69: Heraldry Crest of Horror", as it naturally has a massive amount of ATK, and DARK's advantage of being able to revive itself if destroyed is nullified by it not being properly Xyz Summoned.

• Summon Number C106: Giant Hand Red or CXyz: Enthusiastic Coaching God, Ultimatrainer, since any number or xyz attached (respectively) will allow for their rank up effect you don't need to worry about having the original version in the grave like you would with any other Rank up monsters. Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus also has a decent effect without needing materials.

• Be careful when choosing a monster to summon using this card; unlike other "Rank-Up-Magic" cards, this card doesn't treat the monster summoned by Rank-Up as being summoned by Xyz Summon, so if you summon "Silent Honor Dark" you won't be able to use its revival effect due to it not being properly Special Summoned. Other monsters with similar revival strategies share this problem.
