• Cards like "Hidden Armory", "Armory Call", "Flame Noble Knight Roland", "Gearbreed", and "Power Tool Dragon" can easily add Equip Spell Cards to use with "Eatos", though each is risky in that doing so often will leave you with a monster in the Graveyard.

• This card works great in a Macro Cosmos, Madolche and Gladiator Beast Deck.

• This card can be very effective against Lightsworn Decks, because its effect can stall or even prevent your opponent from summoning "Judgment Dragon".

• This card's ATK boosting effect can be used as many times as you want, as long as your opponent has monsters in their Graveyard to be banished and you have one equip spell card equipped to "Guardian Eatos" to send to the Graveyard.

• Equip this card with "Sword of Deep-Seated" or other card that return on top of your Deck when that card is sent to the Graveyard and reuse its effect again.
  • Combine with "Sunlight Unicorn" and "Spell Absorption" to add the Equip Spell Card that was returned on top of your Deck and gain or regain the cost of Life Points at the same time.
  • Alternatively, you can use "Spirit Burner", which remains in the graveyard until your next Draw Phase and gives you the option of retrieving it instead of conducting your normal draw. "Spirit Burner's" effect can also be used whenever it is in the Graveyard during the Draw Phase, so it can be reused even after your first "Eatos" is destroyed.

• Equip this card with "Power Pickaxe", so you'll be able to banish another monster.

• Use "Collected Power" to draw all Equip Spells on the field to "Guardian Eatos", and use its effect multiple times.

• Have this card equipped with "Broken Bamboo Sword", then use "Golden Bamboo Sword" to draw 2 cards, activate this card's effect so you'll have drawn 2 cards and received an attack boost.

• Use this card in a Night Gusto deck for emergency purpose.

• This card works well with "Gilford the Legend", as summoning the latter allows you to equip a large number of equip spells to "Eatos", who can then activate her effect more time. This can even be used to recycle previously tributed equip spells.
  • Note that you cannot directly use "Gilford's" effect on "Eatos". You will have to use "DNA Surgery", or "Collected Power".

• By having 2 copies of this card in your hand, it can Special Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" on your first turn.

Summoning

• Use cards that remove monsters from your own Graveyard like "Soul Release".

• Cards like "Bazoo the Soul-Eater", "Necro Gardna" and "Shield Warrior" offer great utility for many decks and help banish monsters/themselves from your Graveyard to Special Summon "Guardian Eatos".

• You can use "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord's" Summoning requirement to make sure this card can be Summoned by its own effect.

• In an all DARK deck, you can summon "Prometheus, King of the Shadows" and activate its effect to banish all DARK monsters in your graveyard. Afterwords, you can Special Summon "Guardian Eatos" from your hand. This combo will give you two very powerful monsters in one turn.

• This card is a strong follow-up after banishing DARK monsters from your graveyard for the effect of "Dark Armed Dragon".

• This card has high synergy in "Dark Simorgh" Decks you can banish extra copies of "Eatoses" in your graveyard for its effect and to set up for an "Eatos" summoning.

• In a Morphtronic Deck, you can use "Factory of 100 Machines" to banish all of your monsters and Special Summon this card afterward.

• In Dragon deck, use "Stardust Shimmer" to banish the Dragon-Type monsters until there are no Dragons in your Graveyard to Special Summon both this card and powerful Dragon Synchro Monster.

• You can use this card in a warrior deck with "Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade". You can empty your graveyard to summon "Eatos" while giving your warriors a boost.

• If you have "Guardian Dreadscythe" in your hand, use "Celestial Transformation" during your opponent's turn to summon "Dreadscythe" during their end phase.
