Card Tips:Number 32: Shark Drake
- Note that this card does not specify that you have to attack the Special Summoned monster. You can maximize the damage by attacking the revived monster with another monster.
- This is useful for cards that trigger off winning battles, letting you take down larger threats without killing it off completely and not getting its effect.
- Cards that can help summoning this card:
- "Daybreaker" (makes a good combo with "Photon Veil")
- "Rescue Rabbit"
- Any Trap Monster (except for "Metal Reflect Slime")
- "Coelacanth's" effect
- using "Gift of the Martyr" or similar ATK gaining can result an OTK.
- "Wind-Up Shark" and "Salvage"
- In addition to the above combo: have 3 copies of "Wind-Up Shark" by either using "Salvage" or other means at getting them. Normal Summon one and Special Summon the other 2 from your hand.
- You could inflict even more damage to your opponent with "Armory Arm" equipped to this card.
- Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and revive a Level 1 non-Tuner. Special Summon "Junk Servant" from your hand with its effect, then activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" to special summon 2 more from your hand/Deck/Graveyard. Overlay the 3 "Junk Servants" to Xyz Summon this card, then tune "Junk Synchron" and the Level 1 non-Tuner for "Armory Arm". In addition to the 1000 ATK bonus the monster revived by the effect of this monster loses 1000 ATK, and the effect of "Armory Arm" inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the Original ATK of the monster destroyed by battle, meaning you can pull off an OTK with this strategy (8600 max damage).
- This card combos well with cards like "Robbin' Goblin" or "Robbin' Zombie", whose effects activates each time you inflict battle damage. Since this monster is able to inflict battle damage twice a turn, you can activate such a card's effect even more in the same turn.
- You can use "Umiiruka" to bring this card's ATK to 3300 to do more damage.
- Or, have "Blustering Winds" or "Aqua Jet" to increase its ATK(/DEF) by 1000.
- This card can be easily be summoned with a WATER Deck by using "Water Hazard" to Special Summon a Level 4 WATER monster with 1500 or less ATK, then activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" to summon two more copies of it.
- This card can easily be used in a "Gem-Knight" Deck since most of the monsters are Level 4 and can swarm.
- This card can use its effect on a monster that originally belongs to you. This could be helpful in cases like when you "Creature Swap" a "Mother Grizzly" (or another searcher) onto your opponent's side of the field. Destroy it twice by battle and Special Summon two different monsters from your Deck to also attack immediately.
- You can also "Creature Swap" a "Sangan" to get 2 monsters two your hand.
- This card can easily be Summoned in a "Mermail" Deck if you use "Abyss-squall" and Special Summon 3 level 4 "Mermail" monsters.
- To perform a One-Turn Kill, Normal Summon either "Marauding Captain" or "Tin Goldfish" and use their effects to Special Summon "Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword" from your hand, then use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Special Summon two more "Extra Swords" from anywhere. Overlay them to Xyz Summon this card, giving it 3000 more ATK, then attack one of the Special Summoned monsters the opponent Summoned, and use this card's effect to finish the opponent off.
