Synchro Summoning Tips

This can help Summon "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" by lowering the Levels of two Level 4 Zombie monsters, and then Summoning "Plaguespreader Zombie".

This card can make the Synchro Summon of "Formula Synchron" much easier, since any monster with a Level of 3 or lower will become a Level 1.

Your opponent's attempts at Synchro Summoning monsters can be ruined, and then destroy the Synchro Materials on your turn.
- In addition to that, after this card is used it can possibly be used on one of your own monsters to Synchro Summon a more favorable Synchro Monster.

One possible way of using this card is to power up your "Junk Warrior". By reducing the Level of high ATK Level 3 and 4 monsters, such as "Gene-Warped Warwolf", "Junk Warrior" can get a very high attack.

Combine this card with "Formula Synchron" and "Synchro Material" to lower your opponent's monster's Level and Synchro Summon using their monster.

This card can be used to help with Xyz Summoning a specific monster if your Levels do not match with your Xyz Monster's Rank; alternatively, it can be used if there are monsters on your opponent's field of the same Level, to disrupt their Xyz Summon.
- This is especially useful against an opponent using "Rescue Rabbit". They lose the monsters at the end of the turn if they do not use them.

The lowest a non-Xyz Monster's Level can be is Level 1. This card can be used to change Level 2 and 3 monsters into Level 1s for a Xyz Summon of a Rank 1 Monster.
- Xyz Summoning "Baby Tiragon" can allow yourself to use its effect on another monster affected by this card in order to allow it to attack directly.
  - Combining this card with "Pain Painter" in a Zombie Deck can make any 2 Zombies Level 2 for the remainder of the turn. Using this after will make "Pain Painter" and those two Zombies into Level 1 for Xyz Summoning "Tiragon".
    - If another monster is used instead for the Xyz Summon, one of the reduced Zombies can have their effect to attack directly due to the effect of "Tiragon".
    - Combining "Pain Painter" with "Tiragon" is a highly efficient alternative to "Opti-Camouflage Armor" in a "Wight"-based Deck.

This card can be used to bypass the effects of "Level Limit - Area B" and/or make monsters susceptible to the effects of "Level Limit - Area A".

This card is perfect for "Water"/"Fish" Decks by activating "Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord" while "A Legendary Ocean" is on the field. Doing so will protect most of your WATER monsters from being destroyed.

Use this card with "Gravity Bind" to be able to attack while "Gravity Bind" is active.

This card can be used to make most Ritual Monsters' and Fusion Monsters' Levels lower to activate the "Ritual Weapon" and "Fusion Weapon" respectively.
- Use this card with "Return from the Different Dimension" to use multiple "Djinn of Rituals" monsters for the Ritual Summon of the same Ritual Monster.

Having this card in the Graveyard can provide a handy out to a face-up "Spirit Reaper" on your opponent's field, because its second effect targets.

This card works very well with "Possessed Dark Soul" or "Perditious Puppeteer".
- This is particularly useful to gain materials for Xyz Summoning.
- An additional card that could help with "Possessed Dark Soul" or "Perditious Puppeteer" would be "Stygian Dirge".

This card can be chained to the effect of "Level Eater" to make it lose its target, if the target of "Level Eater" is Level 5 or 6.

This card works excellently with "Treacherous Trap Hole", as it can banish itself from the Graveyard on either player's turn.
