• Normal Summon "Black Salvo" and use its effect to get a level 4 DARK Machine monster to Synchro Summon for Dark Strike Fighter.

• Use high-level, easy-to-summon monsters for this card's effect, ie: "Metal Reflect Slime", "Tragoedia", "The Dark Creator" (for multi-turn swarming).

• This card has an extremely high potential of creating an OTK situation, especially when utilizing a deck that can swarm and attack relentlessly:
  • Use "Advanced Ritual Art" to Ritual Summon "Demise, King of Armageddon" by sending 2 "Mechanicalchaser", 2 "Blocker", or 1 of each, and clear the field with "Demise"'s effect. Then Normal Summon "Black Salvo", use its effect to Special Summon one of the monsters sent by "Advanced Ritual Art" to Synchro Summon "Dark Strike Fighter" for an OTK.
  • "Summoner Monk" and "Rescue Cat": Use "Summoner Monk's" effect to summon another one from your deck, and use that one's effect to summon a "Rescue Cat" from your deck. Then, tribute the "Rescue Cat" and summon two "X-Saber Airbellums" from your deck. Tune the "Airbellums" with your "Summoner Monk", and summon 2 "Dark Strike Fighters". Attack directly with both of them, then tribute both to win (assuming your opponent hasn't gained any Life Points) 2600+2600=5200+(7*200+7*200=2800)=8000.
  • This card fits in quite well with the "Quillbolt Loop". An OTK requires any Tuner + "Imperial Iron Wall" + "Quillbolt Hedgehog". Activate "Quillbolt"'s effect, Tribute it with "Dark Strike Fighter"'s effect while preventing "Quillbolt"'s removal 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 his effect to Special Summon "Sinister Sprocket".
  • If you control this card and "Yubel", use "DNA Surgery" and declare Machine to change "Yubel" into a machine-type monster, use "Machine Duplication" to summon 2 more "Yubels", 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 you also have "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth" 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.
  • Use "DNA Surgery" and declare Plant to use "Copy Plant's" effect for heavy effect damage. Add "Inferno Reckless Summon" with "Copy Plant" for extra damage.
  • "Black Ptera" and "Ultimate Offering" creates an OTK.

• This card works well in a "Destiny Hero" deck. Tribute "Destiny End Dragoon", which you can Special Summon during your next Standby Phase.

• You can Tribute "Vylon" Tuner monsters that equips right after they leave the field. In a Vylon Loop, you can pretty much get close to a One Turn Kill
