- Due to his interaction with Equip Spells, "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei" can be used for a number of casual-level OTKs. He profits massively from high ATK boosts, making cards like "United We Stand", "Mage Power", "Big Bang Shot", "Psychic Blade", "Bashing Shield", "Axe of Despair", "Noble Arms - Clarent", "Mask of Brutality", and "Dunnell, The Noble Arms of Light" are all recommended. He simply needs a minimum ATK boost of 1500 ATK when equipped with three Equip Spells, and a minimum ATK boost of 2200 ATK when equipped with two. There is a sizeable number of possibilities to get over 8000 damage by using "Ben-Kei".
- Use this card with "Scapegoat", "Noble Arms - Clarent" and "United We Stand" to give him 4000 ATK and the ability to attack your opponent directly three times in a single turn for an OTK.
- "Psychic Blade" in combination with "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce" is enough damage with three cards, since "Ben Kei" will have 2000 ATK and four attacks.
- "Big Bang Shot" can be helpful in certain match-ups, since it allows "Ben Kei" to pierce through any defenders the opponent has.
- In short, "Ben Kei" can really be a force in an Equip deck alongside "Gearfried the Swordmaster" and "Gilford the Legend". Such a deck also profits immensely from "Immortal Phoenix Gearfried".
- Being a Warrior-type monster, "Armed Samurai - Ben Kei" can be interacted with by a lot of support cards such as "Reinforcement of the Army", "The Warrior Returning Alive" and "Fusion Sword Murasame Blade".
- Use "Power Tool Dragon" to ensure that you always have an Equip Spell to play.
- This card has great synergy with the Adventurer series.
