• This card can be searched by "Zexal Construction", "ZS - Ascended Sage", "Number 71: Rebarian Shark", "Raidraptor - Wise Strix", "Raider's Unbreakable Mind", "Puppet Parade", "Raptor's Ultimate Mace", "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic", and other generic searchers.

• Set up for this card's effect with the effects of "Dragunity Knight - Trident" and/or "Zaborg the Mega Monarch".
  • Use the effect "Zaborg the Mega Monarch" to destroy itself, sending 7 Rank 6 Xyz monsters and "Number 86: Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad" to your graveyard, then play this card to summon "CXyz Barian Hope" with 7 materials and the effects of "Number 86", granting you the ability to one-shot your opponent (and even if they survive they are nearly locked-out of the entire game if they can't negate the effect of "Barian Hope").

• Be careful when choosing a monster to Summon using this card; unlike other "Rank-Up-Magic" cards, this card doesn't treat its Special Summon as an Xyz Summon, meaning that you will not be able to activate effect that require it to be Xyz Summoned or Special Summon that monster with other card effects afterwards.

• As several Rank 4 monsters are frequently used in players' Decks, this card can be used late in the game to Summon a Rank 5 "Number C" monster fairly easily, no matter how many Materials it would normally require.
  • "Number C101: Silent Honor DARK" is generally the most useful monster to Summon with this card's effect, as it has a reliable standalone effect.
  • "Number C69: Heraldry Crest of Horror" is a generic option with 4000 ATK, and can sometimes be useful in warding your opponent's attacks.
  • If you Summon a Rank 5 "Number C10X" monster with this card's effect, assuming it can survive until your next turn, Xyz Summon "CXyz Barian Hope" using that monster. This can be more effective if there are plenty of Rank 4 monsters to use as Xyz Materials.
  • "Number C80: Requiem in Berserk" is an excellent monster to Summon (considering its effect), assuming there is an available "Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk" to use, along with plenty of Rank 4 monsters in the Graveyards.
  • If there are enough Rank 4 monsters used as Xyz Material, combo with "Stoic Challenge".

• Summon "Number C106: Giant Red Hand" or "CXyz Coach Lord Ultimatrainer" to use their Rank-Up effects, as they do not require the original version to be used as most Rank-Up monsters do.

• This card can be more effective in "Utopia" Decks, since it relies on Rank 4 monsters and has access to two Rank 5 "Number C" monsters that can gain extra effects by having "Number 39: Utopia" as an Xyz Material.
  • In circumstances where your opponent doesn't have any Rank 4 monsters in their Graveyard, you can use this card to Summon "Number 99: Utopic Dragon".
