• This card is very useful against decks such as "Lightsworns", "Blackwings", "Fish" and "Dark World".

• This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute using "Kaiser Sea Horse" or "Gellenduo".

• This card is very useful against a "Dark Armed Dragon" deck if you call "DARK" for its effect.

• Use "Light of Intervention" to prevent your opponent from setting monsters of the declared Attribute.

• Do not declare "LIGHT" unless it is an emergency, as this card will destroy itself by its own effect.

• "Giant Germ" and "Nimble Momonga" are useful to Special Summon this monster. The ideal scenario is to have one of them destroyed in battle, Special Summon the other two and have the two new monsters destroyed in your opponent's following Battle Phase. (You must have two or more monsters on your field at the start of the Battle Phase to Special Summon this card; if "Giant Germ" or "Nimble Momonga" Special Summon two more copies of themselves and they are destroyed all within the same Battle Phase, this strategy won't work.)
• To speed up the process using the tip above, you can attack your opponent's monster with "Giant Germ" or "Nimble Momonga" on your turn to Special Summon two more copies and on your opponent's turn wait for them to destroy the new monsters in battle.

• Combine this card, "Swords of Revealing Light"/"Light of Intervention", "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8"/"Spell Canceller", "Royal Decree"/"Jinzo", "The End of Anubis"/"Necrovalley" and "Splendid Venus" for complete lockdown of the field depending on the fact that your opponent mainly uses monsters that share an attribute.(summon this card first, so as to not destroy any other monsters you might use in this combo)

• It is a good idea to use this card in a "Gladiator Beast" Deck. You can use it to protect your "Gladiator Beasts", and if that fails, you can still strike back. There is no harm in using this card's effect with the deck, as all of the "Gladiator Beasts" have a different attributes.

• After you summon this card, use "DNA Transplant" to change all monster attributes to that of the selected type, thus locking down your opponent. You just need to destroy the existing monsters he has.
