• This card works well by Special Summoning "Hand of Nephthys", "Mystic Swordsman LV4" or "Rare Metal Dragon".

• "Double Summon" can be used in order to first Normal Summon two copies of "Marauding Captain", and Special Summon two other monsters. This can be an advantage for Synchro Summoning, sending cards to the Graveyard for cards like "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler", or just loading the field.

• If "Mist Body" is equip to a "Marauding Captain", your Warrior-Type monsters will be protected through its immunity to battle destruction. This is a good choice to go with if either your other copies of "Marauding Captain" lost earlier on in the Duel, or there is a need to stall.

If possible, Synchro Summon again to bring out a powerful monster like "Junk Destroyer" or "Colossal Fighter".

• This card works extremely well with "Gallis the Star Beast" by this following combo: Summon this card, then Summon a Level 3 monster from your hand.

  • Then use the effect of "Zenmaity" to Special Summon "Wind-Up Hunter" and use the effect of "Hunter" to Tribute "Zenmaity" to send 1 card from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard. (Does not discard, so "Dark World" monsters do not get their effects.)

• Use this card's effect to Summon a Tuner monster, then use the two for a quick Synchro Summon. This is very useful with "Goyo Guardian" as a Level 3 Tuner is simply needed to bring it out. A good Tuner to use this combo with is "Junk Synchron", as it is a Warrior-Type as well, and can fit more easily into a Deck using "Marauding Captain".
