Card Tips:Number C40: Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings
- While this monster has powerful mass-destruction effects, it is not capable of making its two disparate effects work alone. When Summoning of this monster, careful timing is necessary to make full use of its powers.
- In fact, the easiest way to use this monster's power is to abuse String Counters left by its pre-evolution or a another copy of "Dark Strings" Summoned prior.
- This card can be Special Summoned with "Junk Puppet" or "Xyz Reborn" to trigger its first effect.
- "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" is the ideal "Rank-Up-Magic" Spell to pair with this monster, as it will rarely need the extra Material "Barian's Force" provides or the protection "Numeron Force" offers. If played in multiple copies, one can ensure that this monster has a steady stream of string counters and Summon triggers to wipe the board regularly, burning your opponent all the way.
- If your opponent has 3300 Life Points or less while "Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings" is on your field, its effect can be activated, then chain "Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos" to it to Summon this card. The effect of "Strings" will resolve and put a String Counter on this card, then this card's effect will cause it to destroy itself, a card is drawn, and deal enough damage to your opponent to win the Duel.
