• This card can be searched by "Cocoon of Ultra Evolution", "Verdant Sanctuary", "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Howling Insect", "Gokipon", "Danipon", "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", "Dharc the Dark Charmer, Gloomy", "Mystic Potato", "Mystic Tomato", "Chaos Zone", "One for One", "Piri Reis Map", "Zombowwow", "Where Arf Thou?", "Jack-In-The-Hand", "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "Packet Link", "Small Scuffle", "Mimiclay", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.* Use "Gold Sarcophagus" to banish "Resonance Insect" to send this card from your deck to the graveyard.* This card can be sent to the Graveyard from the Deck by using "Foolish Burial", "Koa'ki Meiru Gravirose", Armageddon Knight" or "Dark Grepher".* "Level Eater's" Level reduction and Special Summoning effect makes it an ideal candidate in a "Shooting Quasar Dragon" Deck, which relies heavily on Summoning Level 5+ Synchro monsters in order to Summon "Quasar".* High-Level Tuners such as "Quickdraw Synchron" work well with this card.
  • Send this card to the Graveyard to fulfill the Summoning requirements for "Quickdraw". Then, use this card's effect to reduce it's Level by 1 and Special Summon this card. You can then Synchro Summon the Level 5 "Junk Warrior" without using your Normal Summon.
  • This card can be used to Summon a Synchro Monster which requires 2 or more non-Tuners, such as "Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant" or "Mist Wurm".
  • This card can help "Majestic Star Dragon's" Synchro Summon by reducing "Stardust Dragon's" Level and using "Tuningware"/"Synchro Boost"/"Quillbolt Hedgehog".
    • This also works for "Majestic Red Dragon".* This card can allow you to Tribute Summon a Level 5 or Level 6 monster each turn without losing Field Advantage or Card Advantage.
  • This card is a great Tribute for a "Monarch Deck" as this can be Special Summoned by decreasing any "Monarch's" Level and used as a Tribute for another "Monarch".
  • Using multiples of this card can also provide you with an easy way to Summon monsters that require three Tributes for their Summon (such as "Moisture Creature", "Gilford the Lightning", "Beast King Barbaros", the "Wicked Gods", and others) or monsters that require three monsters to be sent to the Graveyard as 'Sending' is different from 'Tributing' (such as "Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler" and "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler".)
  • Send this card to the Graveyard to Special Summon "The Tricky", then use this card's effect to Special Summon itself. This way provides you with Tributes for monsters that require to be Tribute Summoned with 2 monsters.* This card can be Tributed for high Level Spirit monsters like "Yamata Dragon", and then Summoned from the Graveyard to be Tributed again next turn.
  • If you currently have "Ultimate Offering" on the field, and you Summon "Dark Dust Spirit", you can Summon 2 of these to the field as Tribute fodder for "Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi", "Yamata Dragon", and other high-Level Spirit monsters you may have in your hand. You may repeat this the next turn for a game-ending move, just make sure you Summon your "Level Eaters" back to the field before your End Phase.* In an "Inca" Deck, you can discard this card to Special Summon "The Tricky" or activate "One for One" for Synchro Summons.
  • In addition, you can use this card to reduce the Level of "Moon Dragon Quilla" to Level 5 and Synchro Summon with "Fire Ant Ascator" for "Sun Dragon Inti", setting up the Inti-Quilla loop.* If you want to use "Cyber Dragon" with "DNA Surgery" to pull out "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" easier as well as clearing the field for attacks, consider using this to gain another 1000 ATK.* If you have 2 "Level Eaters" in your Graveyard, use them to fuel the Heads effect of "Arcana Force XXI - The World" by reducing its Level and the Levels of other high-Level monsters you Summon during your World Lock.
  • You can also use cards like "Book of Moon" or "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" to "reset" the Levels of these monsters to continue using your Level Eaters.* Use this card with "Level Tuning" to adjust your monsters' Levels to Synchro Summon easier, or work around cards like "Gravity Bind".* Use "Level Eater" as relentless fodder for "Scrap Dragon's" effect, as it will not be a problem to Summon "Level Eater" with "Scrap Dragon's" high Level.
  • This also works with the other Scrap Synchro Monsters, "Scrap Twin Dragon" and "Atomic Scrap Dragon".* This card can work well with "Ruthless Denial" or "Creature Swap".* "DNA Transplant" and "Ultimate Baseball Kid" can be used with other high-Level monsters for high amounts of damage (although it would be hard to pull off an OTK).* Use monsters of Level 5 or higher that can flip themselves face-down such as "Guardian Sphinx" and "Sauropod Brachion" to keep pulling this card out each turn.* If you control a "Greed Quasar", then you may be able to Summon this card endlessly, assuming your opponent has monsters for you to destroy.* This card can increase the number of card(s) destroyed by the effect of "Junk Destroyer" or increase the ATK of "Junk Warrior" by 600 per copy.* Combine this card with two or three "Fortune Ladies" cards to have infinite Special Summons once they get over Level 5 by their effects.* (Note:This tip only works for the video games) This card can help very much in getting out Dark Synchros. Have this card in the Graveyard, while having a Level 6-9 Dark Tuner out on the field. Use this card's effect to reduce the Level of the Dark Tuner on your field by 1 and Summon this to the field. Tune this card with the Dark Tuner to Summon a Dark Synhcro monster.* This card combos well with the high level monster "Tragoedia", who can be easily summoned from the hand.* In a "Flower Cardian" deck, you can easily send this card to the Graveyard via drawing it through the effect of a "Flower Cardian" monster. As several "Flower Cardian" monsters have high Levels, you can target any of them to easily Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. This card also helps in the gathering of Synchro Materials for the Synchro Summon of "Flower Cardian" Synchro Monsters, as they require 2 or more non-Tuner monsters. This card's Level is also not an issue in that regard, as the archetype's Tuner monsters treat the used Synchro Materials as Level 2.* This card can be searched by "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Last Will".* Combine with "Card of Safe Return" to draw a card each time "Level Eater" is Special Summoned.* Equip "Heart of Clear Water" or "Mist Body" to "Galaxy Wizard". Activate "Card of Safe Return". Since a monster's Level can't go below "Level 1" with its effect this is a prime target for "Level Eater". Just find a way to keep putting it in the Graveyard and with "Card of Safe Return" you can draw your entire Deck which is useful in an "Exodia" Deck.
