• With WATER decks bigger than ever thanks to the debut of the Mermail and Atlantean archetypes, this card can be used for easy card advantage, especially if you have "Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier" in your hand.

• Combine this card with "DNA Transplant", to destroy any monster your opponent controls.

• Use this card with "Double Summon" or "Ultimate Offering". You can summon many "Shock Troops of the Ice Barrier" in one turn, and destroy many of your opponent's monsters.

• While you control a weak"Ice Barrier" monster and your opponent has 1 monster, Summon "Shock Troop" and activate "Creature Swap" and take control of your opponents monster and give them a weak monster like "Defender of the Ice Barrier". Next, activate "Shock Troopers" ability, destroying defender and adding a monster like "Prior of the Ice Barrier" to revive defender later, but leaving their field open.

• Use this card with "Oyster Meister" to offset the card loss. If the monster retrieved by "Shock Troops of the Ice Barrier" requires a Tribute, the "Oyster Token" can be used for it as well.

• Possible, but not easy to pull off, is to use with the token from "Royal Knight of the Ice Barrier". Using "General Grunard of the Ice Barrier" while having another monster to Tribute for "Royal Knight", then summoning "Shock Troop" again using "General Grunard's" effect to use up the token from "Royal Knight".
