Due to the fact that "Qli" Decks rely heavily on "Qliphort Scout", a simple floodgate is to use cards with effects that can destroy remove opponent's Continuous face-up Spell Cardscards, such as "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" and , "[[Spell Shattering Arrow]]", "[[Fairy Wind]]", and in worse case scenario, "[[Cosmic Cyclone]]". These cards can also counter opponent's "Skill Drain" or "Vanity's Emptiness", which are common and can be fatal to certain decks if not dealt with.

When playing a "Qli" Deck, be aware of threats such as "Mystical Space Typhoon" and "[[Bottomless Trap HoleDimensional Barrier]]". It is suggested that before extending, clear the opponentcan prove problematic if it's backrows as many as possible by activated at the correct time, can prevent you from Pendulum Summoning that turn or prevent you from using cards like "[[Night Beam]]Qli"monster effects for the turn, which counters free-chain cards such as "Mystical Space Typhoon" and "[[Sinister Shadow Games]]". "[[Qlimate Change]]" (can be searched by "Qliphort Scout") returns but it's no problem to your "Qli" monsters in the Extra Deck to hand and can be fairly effective when the opponent is focusing on destroying cards in Pendulum ZonesMonsters' ATK.

You could also use "[[Localized Trunade]]" to temporarily clear your opponent's face-down Spells and Traps."[[Qlimate Change]]" (can be searched by "Qliphort Scout") returns up to 3 face-up "Qli" monsters in the Extra Deck to hand and can be fairly effective when the opponent is focusing on destroying cards in Pendulum Zones.  While "Towers" and "Skybase" are the trump cards of this deck, owing to their immunity to almost all card effects, they are still vulnerable to Continuous Effects. Monsters such as "[[Destiny HERO - Plasma]]" can shut these cards down completely, as it not only negates opposing Monster Effects, it can also equip an opponent's monster to itself, providing it with an ample ATK boost. Link monsters can also bypass the immunity of the "Apoqliphort" monsters, such as "[[Firewall Dragon]]" by simply returning them to the hand. It is also interesting to note that usual Machine counters like "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]", while ineffective against most of the deck, can still be used against the "Apoqliphort" monsters because they are not Pendulum Monsters.
