• This card can be searched by "Astraltopia", "Generation Force", "Xyz Force", "Quick Booster", "Spell Calling", "Miracle of the Supreme King", "Mecha Phantom Beast Jaculuslan", and other generic searchers.

• This card is an excellent response to an attacking Xyz Monster, especially if not all the materials attached to it were Monster Cards that can be Special Summoned again (e.g., Special Summon Monsters that must be Special Summoned by a particular procedure, Spell/Trap Cards such as "Xyz Reborn").

• This card can also get rid of Xyz Monsters that gain the effect of being unaffected by other card effects while having a certain number of materials, such as "Number 86: Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad" and "Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus". It will however not get rid of Xyz Monsters that are unaffected by card effects without material requirements (such as "Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon" or "Raidraptor - Rising Rebellion Falcon"), though it will still detach all of their materials.

• Activate this card in response to your opponent detaching a material from an Xyz Monster as cost to use its effect: you'll to reduce the number of monsters your opponent could potential get back when this card resolves, while also disrupting your opponent's plans (since they'll still get their XYZ Monster's effect as Chain Link 1, but be forced to alter their next move).
  • Back it up with "Summon Breaker" and/or "Summon Limit" to further restrict your opponent's options to recover from this play.

• This card can be beneficial if you use it with the effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend" to wipe the opponent's field clean.

• Since cards and effects cannot be activated in response, your opponent cannot negate this with cards like, "Dark Bribe" and "Solemn Judgement," but it can be prevented with effects that stop targeting like with "Number 49: Fortune Tune."
  • Effects that activate in response to targeting cannot be activated, such as "Number 74: Master of Blades" and "Slacker Magician."
