• You can still Normal Summon monsters the turn you activate this card.
  • This makes this card ideal for decks that rely on monsters requiring multiple Tributes for a Normal Summon, such as "Light and Darkness Dragon" or the Egyptian God monsters.

• As this card is a Quick-Play Spell Card, use it during your opponent's turn to overcome its drawbacks.
  • Then during your turn you can easily Special Summon "Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon" if the special summoned Sea Serpent-Type monsters are WATER.

• Summon 3 "Spined Gillmans" with this card's effect, granting you 3 2500 ATK monsters, since "Gillman" boosts the ATK of every Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-type monsters you control.
  • Combine with "Atlantean Dragoons", to inflict 7500 damage.
    • Use "Atlantean Attack Squad" to similar effect.
    • If "A Legendary Ocean" is on the field, you can attack directly with "Atlantean Dragoons" too, since it is treated as Level 3.

• Use this card to summon 3 "Reese the Ice Mistresses", making it difficult for your opponent to clear your monsters.

• Summon "Mermaid Archer" with this card and then equip it with another one of the monsters summoned by this card's effect.
  • "Mermaid Archer" is also a Sea Serpent-type monster, making it also a prime target for this card.

• If this card is combined with "Lemuria, the Forgotten City" you can raise the level of the summoned monsters dramatically. First use this card during your opponent's End Phase, then on your turn, you can raise your monsters levels with "Lemuria, the Forgotten City", allowing you to Xyz Summon high-rank monsters more easily.

• This card can initiate a pretty solid OTK. What you need is a Call of the Atlanteans set on the field, a Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon in your hand and the ability to summon 2 monsters in your following turn (more on this later). Note that this combo requires a solid graveyard presence, including a Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon and a Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, which means it's easier to pull off midgame. First, you play Call of the Atlanteans on your opponent's End Phase. Then on your own phase you need to summon 2 more monsters. Some ways to do this include a Deep Sea Diva, a Treeborn Frog, a Salvage, a face-up Atlantean Heavy Infantry, a Surface, a set Call of the Haunted, a Monster Reborn, etc. Make sure that 2 of your 5 monsters are level 3, something trivial for an Atlantean Deck. Now tribute the rest 3 of your monsters to Special Summon Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon with his own effect. That will trigger any Atlantean effect of the tribute fodders plus Poseidra's own effect, to clear the back rows, plus any monsters that could be appropriate targets for any Atlantean Heavy Infantry or Atlantean Marksman you may have tributed. Now overlay your 2 remaining level 3 monsters to Xyz Summon a Number 17: Leviathan Dragon from your extra deck. Should one of the materials be an Atlantean Marksman, you can now Detach him for his effect to trigger. Then Banish your Number 17: Leviathan Dragon to Special Summon your Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon from your hand. Use Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's effect to Special Summon Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier from your graveyard. Use Gungnir's effect to clear any more monsters that could still exist on your opponent's side of the field. Attack a clear field for 2800 + 2800 + 2500 = 8100 points of damage.
