Card Tips:Number C80: Requiem in Berserk
- A Rank 4 Deck might be able to splash in "Puppet Master" to Special Summon this card and its base form from the Graveyard, then use "Xyz Reborn" to Special Summon an Xyz monster to be equipped with both cards, giving it a huge boost. Be sure to use many monsters that are able to Special Summon themselves, like "Toy Knight", "Photon Thrasher" and "Evilswarm Mandragora".
- In addition, any Rank 4-based deck can tech this card in with "Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force" (with or without its base form) to provide a useful boost in a pinch.
- This card can be summoned by using "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force" on "Number C43: High Manipulator of Chaos", "Number C96: Dark Storm" or "Number C65: King Overfiend".
- Just like its Original Form, this card can work well with "Number 43: Manipulator of Souls," which can Equip these monsters from the graveyard ("80" and "C80" provide their effects no matter how they are equipped). Not only do they provide an additional 1,200 or 2000 ATK boost and arm "43's" own invincibility effect, but "Number C80" can add an extra single-use destruction prevention ability, should "Number 43's" regular effects be negated by cards like "Skill Drain" or "Forbidden Chalice."
- When using "80" or "C80," one should generally plan to Equip the monsters as soon as possible, or they risk being destroyed or becoming targets for monster-stealing effects like "Mind Control," "Relinquished" or even "Underground Arachnid," all of which would let the opponent take advantage of their effects.
- Also beware effects that change the targets of Equip Spells, like "Collected Power," "Tailor of the Fickle" or "Power Tool Mecha Dragon."
- If you and your opponent both have at least 1 Rank 4 monster in each of your Graveyards, including at least 1 copy of "Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk," you can summon this card with "Rank-Up-Magic Admiration of the Thousands" and bring it to the field with a large amount of Xyz Material to fuel its field-banishing effect, before equipping it to one of your other Xyz Monsters.
- In case you can't summon another Xyz monster after using this card's effect, you can Xyz Summon "Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger" by using this card as the Xyz Material, so you can attack properly.
