• This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Chaos-End Master", "Shining Angel", "UFOroid", "Falchionβ" and "Damage Condenser".

• Use stalling cards such as "Swords of Revealing Light", "Nightmare's Steelcage", "Spirit Barrier", etc. to allow time to pass without having your Satellite hit by an attack. When your Satellite is ready, destroy your opponent's monsters via card effects or other attacking monsters and have it attack for the final blow.

• If your opponent has this card out, in its initial stages (1000 or less attack), you can have "Gagaga Magician" become Level 8, meeting the conditions to beat it.

• Take advantage of the fact that "Satellite Cannon" has low ATK while in the Deck, Graveyard and while you're waiting for it to pump itself up. "Shining Angel" and "UFOroid" can Special Summon it, and "Machine Duplication" and "Inferno Reckless Summon" allow you to triple your attacking force. You'll accumulate a lot of ATK points very quickly this way, maybe enough for an OTK.
  • Alternately, you can use 2 of those monsters as Xyz Material for "Tiras, Keeper of Genesis" or other Rank 5 cards.
    • This strategy is especially potent if all three are used as Xyz Material for "Heavy Machinery King Doboku Zaku".

• Use "Limiter Removal" to make a possible OTK (provided you can wipe out all of your opponents monsters, and still launch an attack with this card).

• When using "Gravity Bind", all monsters level 4 or higher cannot attack, and since "Satellite Cannon" can only be destroyed by a monster of Level 7 or higher, it is effectively invincible in battle. Once it is sufficiently charged, you can destroy or negate "Gravity Bind" using cards such "Emergency Provisions", "Royal Decree", or "Heavy Storm", allowing "Satellite Cannon" to attack. Even better, you could equip "Satellite Cannon" with "Demotion" to let it attack without letting your opponent's monsters do so.

• To make this card's attacks more effective, equip it with "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal".

• As this card cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster of Level 7 or lower, you can use this as a suicide weapon to take out strong monsters with an ATK of a multiple of 1000.

• When your opponent attacks, activate cards like "Staunch Defender" or "Battle Mania" and also activate "Fairy Box". Since your "Satellite" isn't attacking, your opponent may lose many monsters and Life Points to a single Level 5 monster in a single turn- and it will still have its charged attack power.

• Have an "Honest" in your hand for emergency (e.g. your opponent have a monster which is Level 8 or above and have a attack higher than "Satellite Cannon").
