* Use high-levelFor the adventurous, easy-to-summon monsters for despite this card's [[erratum]], it is still possible to [[FTK]] by Tributing a single monster whose [[Level]] has been boosted extremely high. Note that there is no rule preventing monster Levels from exceeding 12, unless the card explicitly says so.** One method to pull this off is with "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Hamstrat]]", whose effectSummons two "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Token]]s". The Level of "Hamstrat" is increased by the Levels of all said "Tokens", so "Hamstrat" will be Level (3 + 3 + 3 =) 9. Activate two copies of "[[Metal Reflect SlimeGalaxy Queen's Light]]" is . The first will boost all "Tokens" to Level 9, making the Level of "Hamstrat" (3 + 9 + 9 =) 21; the second will boost all "Tokens" to Level 21, making the Level of "Hamstrat" (3 + 21 + 21 =) 45. Tributing "Hamstrat" for the prime combination effect of this card will then inflict 9000 damage.** "[[Hermit of high level and ease Prophecy]]" can boost its own Level indefinitely as long as there are "[[Spellbook]]" Spell Cards to activate. The effect of summon"[[The Grand Spellbook Tower]]" can aid this, as well as being a "Spellbook" Spell Card itself.

* Use [[Advanced Ritual Art]] If not going for an FTK, two other ways to get a monster up to Ritual Summon [[Demise, King an extremely high Level include:** Two copies of Armageddon]] by sending 2 "[[Mechanicalchaser]], 2 [[BlockerPhoton Satellite]]" can quadruple their own Levels every turn. Two turns after both are on the field, or 1 of their Levels will each, and clear the field with Demise's effectbe 64. Then Normal Summon ** "[[Black SalvoGreed Quasar]], use " can increase its effect to Special Summon one of Level by battling (though then the monsters sent damage dealt by Advanced Ritual Art to Synchro Summon [[Dark Strike Fighter]] for an [[OTK]]this card will likely be redundant).

* Another OTK with Normal Summon "[[Black Salvo]]" and use its effect to get a Level 4 [[DARK]] [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monster to Synchro Summon for this card involves .** In a "[[Gimmick Puppet]]" Deck, the effect of "Salvo" can be used to Special Summon Priest"[[Gimmick Puppet Des Troy]] and " or "[[Rescue CatGimmick Puppet Scissor Arms|Scissor Arms]]", then tune both for this card. Use Summon Priest's effect to summon another Then Tribute one from your deckof the many Level 8 monsters the Deck runs, and use that attack with this card. In one's effect to summon turn, this combo can inflict 4200 damage, if this card attacks directly.** In a Rescue Cat from your deck. ThenMachine-only Deck running this card and the above "Black Salvo", Tribute the Rescue Cat and summon two effect of the Level 8 "[[Gearspring Spirit]]" can instead be used to reduce an opponent's monster's [[X-Saber AirbellumATK]] from your deckto 0, effectively allowing this card to deal direct damage. Tune the X-Sabers with your Summon Priest, and summon 2 Add in "[[Dark Strike FighterSolidarity]]s". Attack directly with both of them, then tribute both to win (assuming your opponent hasnboost this card't gained any Life Points ((2600+2600=5200)+(7*200+7*200=2800)=8000)s ATK by 800 and increase the potential damage output to 5000.

* By summoning Use high-Level, easy-to-Summon monsters to Tribute for this card's effect, such as "[[Metal Reflect Slime]]", "[[Black SalvoTragoedia]]", "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]" and use its effect to get a level 4 DARK Machine monster you could synchro summon this card"[[The Dark Creator]]" (the latter for multi-turn swarming).

* This card fits can work in quite well with the a "[[Quillbolt LoopDestiny HERO]] deck, by using it to " Deck. Tribute "[[Quillbolt HedgehogDestiny End Dragoon]]", which it can then be Special Summoned back during your next Standby Phase.

* This card has an extremely high potential of creating an [[OTK]] situation, especially when utilizing a Deck that can [[swarm]] and attack relentlessly:** The following 3-card setup can Synchro Summon this card and clear the field at the same time to pave the way: Use "[[Advanced Ritual Art]]" to Ritual Summon "[[Demise, King of Armageddon]]" by sending any 2 of "[[Mechanicalchaser]]" or "[[Blocker]]", then clear the field with the effect of "Demise". Then Normal Summon "Black Salvo", use its effect to Special Summon one of the monsters sent by "Advanced Ritual Art" to Synchro Summon this card.** This card fits in quite well with the "[[Quillbolt Loop]]". An OTK requires any [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] + "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" + "[[Quillbolt Hedgehog]]". Activate the effect of "Quillbolt", Tribute it with the effect of "Dark Strike Fighter" while preventing the removal of "Quillbolt" with "Imperial Iron Wall".** This card can be very useful in a "Yubel Synchro" Deck, for a quick way to Summon, reborn a "[[Doom Shaman]]" and use its effect to Special Summon "[[Sinister Sprocket]]".** If you control this card and "[[Yubel]]" is on your field, use "[[DNA Surgery]] " and declare [[Machine]] to change "Yubel " into a machineMachine-type Type monster, use "[[Machine Duplication]] " to summon 3 Summon 2 more "Yubels and ", then tribute them all and this card to inflict 7400 points of damage.** If used in a "Fish Synchro" Deck, this card can be used for an OTK if there also "[[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]" on your field. Just attack with both of them directly and Tribute both using this card's effect for an OTK by LP deduction.** Use "DNA Surgery" and declare [[Plant]] to use the effect of "[[Copy Plant]]" for heavy effect damage. Add "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" with "Copy Plant" for extra damage.** "[[Black Ptera]]" and "[[Ultimate Offering]]" creates an OTK.* "[[Vylon]]" Tuner monsters that equips right after they leave the field can be Tributed. In a "Vylon" Loop, a One Turn Kill can pretty much be possible.

* If used in a Fish Synchro deck, this card can be used for an OTK if you also have "==Pre-Errata ([[Superancient Deepsea King CoelacanthMarch 2009 Lists (OCG)|March 2009]]" on the field. Just attack with both of them directly and tribute both using "[[Dark Strike Fighter]]"'s effect for OTK by life point deduction.Format only)==

* Basically, this The following 1-card setup can give any deck that has OTK immediately if the ability opponent's field is clear: Normal Summon "[[Summoner Monk]]" and use its effect to swarm Summon a second one from your Deck. Use the field second "Monk" to Summon "[[Rescue Cat]]" from your Deck, then Tribute "Rescue Cat" to Summon two "[[X-Saber Airbellum]]s" from your Deck. Tune each "Airbellum" with each "Summoner Monk" to Synchro Summon 2 "Dark Strike Fighters". Attack directly with both of them, then Tribute both for an OTK (2600 + 2600 + 7*200 + 7*200 = 8000).** "Dark Strike Fighter" was moved directly from [[Unlimited]] to [[Forbidden]] in the [[September 2009 Lists (preferablyOCG) high level monsters |September 2009 lists]], making this method no longer possible even in one turn an OTKthe [[Traditional Format]] and listed only for historic reasons.
