Card Tips:Elemental HERO Stratos
- This card can be searched by "E - Emergency Call", "A Hero Lives", "EN Shuffle", "Elemental HERO Shadow Mist", "Xtra HERO Cross Crusader", "Evil Mind", "Masked HERO Dian", "Hero Signal", "Generation Next", "Kid Guard", "Reinforcement of the Army", "Double Dai", "Infernoble Knight Captain Roland", "Dragodies, the Empowered Warrior", "Wake Up Your Elemental HERO", "Iron Knight", "Freed the Matchless General", "Arcana Extra Joker", "Field-Commander Rahz", "Wynn the Wind Charmer, Verdant", "Wynn the Wind Channeler", "Divine Wind of Mist Valley", "Kujakujaku", "Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", "Summoner Monk", "Primathmech Alembertian", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Resonator Engine", "Soul Rope", "Rescue Ferret", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- This card's first effect can be more effective when combined with "HERO's Bond", possibly destroying up to 3 Spells/Traps.
- This card's first effect can be used in tandem with a card in the same Chain as this card's effect which would make this card leave the field to Special Summon another "HERO" monster in its place, such as "Super Polymerization" and "Mask Change"/"Mask Change II". Since its Spell/Trap destruction only counts "HERO" monsters except the copy of this card which activated the effect, this effectively allows the user to destroy an additional Spell/Trap.
- This card can be Summoned from the hand by "Elemental HERO Solid Soldier". Then, if both monsters are used for a Fusion Summon, the second effect of "Solid Soldier" will be triggered, Special Summoning this card again and triggering its effect once more.
- Be careful of any other on-Summon Trigger Effects, like that of "Elemental HERO Sunrise" which will cause this card to miss the timing. To avoid this, ensure the effect of "Solid Soldier" is activated as Chain Link 1, before activating other card effects in the same chain.
- This card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Oasis of Dragon Souls", which will trigger its effect and enable it to be used as Synchro Material for "Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing". Then, the effect of "Baxia" can be used to Special Summon this card, triggering its effect again.
- If this card is banished, it can be Special Summoned with "Elemental HERO Voltic" or "Protection of the Elements". In particular with the latter (via the use of its Quick-like GY effect), use its effect to Special Summon this card during the opponent's End Phase then this card's effect can destroy the opponent's Spells/Traps before they can use them.
- Adding "Elemental HERO Bubbleman" to your hand (after setting or discarding all other cards) allows you to summon "Bubbleman" and gives access to Link-2 monsters such as "Xtra HERO Cross Crusader" or "Xtra HERO Infernal Devicer".
- Because WIND is a rare attribute for "HERO" monsters ("Elemental HERO Avian" being the only other main-deck "HERO" to have the WIND attribute), "Stratos" can be very easy to pair with another "HERO" to summon "Elemental HERO Sunrise" or "Elemental HERO Flame Wingman - Infernal Rage" (with another "Elemental HERO").
