• Names

• This card can be searched by "Dark Summoning Beast", "Phantasmal Summoning Beast", "Dark Beckoning Beast", "Opening of the Spirit Gates", "Fusion Conscription", "Fusion Reserve", "Thunder Dragon Fusion", "Thunder Dragonduo", "Chaos Zone", and other generic searchers.
  • "Opening of the Spirit Gates" is especially useful for this card, since it is a Continuous Spell that can be used for this card's Summon.

Summoning tips

• This card can be easily and efficiently Summoned in the following Decks:
  • "Crystal Beast": Their monsters' effects can have them become Continuous Spells if destroyed while in the Monster Zone, while their other cards have effects that can directly place "Crystal Beast" monsters in the Spell & Trap Zone as Continuous Spells.
  • "The Weather": Their cards' effects can easily accumulate multiple "The Weather" Continuous Spell Cards.
    • The effect of "The Weather Painter Cloud" can make this card's Summon more efficient, as that monster's effect can recover up to 2 "The Weather" Spells/Traps from the Graveyard if "Hamon" used a "The Weather" Continuous Spell Card for its Summon.
  • "Witchcrafter": "Witchcrafter Bystreet" and "Witchcrafter Scroll" are Continuous Spells that can easily recover themselves from the Graveyard for free throughout a Duel.

• Continuous Spells such as "Messenger of Peace", "Level Limit - Area B", "Burden of the Mighty", and "Quiet Life" can be useful for stalling the opponent, until this card can be Special Summoned by using those cards for its Summon.
  • Although it's a monster, "Pumprincess the Princess of Ghosts" can treat itself as a Continuous Spell when destroyed in the Monster Zone, and can serve the same purpose of stalling and being used for the Summon of "Hamon".

• "Cerulean Skyfire" can not only be helpful for enabling this card's Special Summon (as that Spell's effect allows this card to also use face-down Spells for its Summon), but also for providing some defensive capabilities.

• "Contract with Don Thousand" can be a useful Continuous Spell for this card's Summon, as its effect has both players draw 1 card, effectively replacing itself.

General tips

• "Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings" can potentially be used in the same Deck as this card, since its Summoning condition requires controlling 3 face-up Continuous Spells (without sending any of them to the Graveyard).

• "Eldlich the Golden Lord" is a good monster to use in the same Deck as this card, since it is a Level 10 monster that can Special Summon itself by using the same Continuous Spells that this card uses, and can also potentially be used for an Rank 10 Xyz Summon with this card.

• As a Level 10 monster with an effect that inflicts 1000 damage each time it destroys an opponent's monster by battle, this card can pair well with "Mound of the Bound Creator", which protects this card from being targeted or destroyed by card effects, as well as inflicting an extra 1000 damage each time "Hamon" destroys an opponent's monster by battle.

• As a monster with an effect that prevents other monsters from being attacked, this card can form an attack lock with monsters such as "Batteryman D" or "Morphtronic Magnen".

• Since this card has the highest original ATK among Thunder-Type monsters, cards like "Makiu, the Magical Mist" and "Wattcine" can be used to their maximum potential with this card.
