• "Spear Cretin" can be used for an OTK: With one "Spear Cretin" in the Graveyard, and one either face-down or recently flipped face-up on the field and an active "All-Out Attacks", Summon "Cannon Soldier" and tribute the "Spear Cretin". Revive the other "Spear Cretin" in face-down Defense Position. "All-Out Attacks" causes it to be flipped face-up because it was Special Summoned. Repeat until victory.

• "Spear Cretin" can potentially be used as a defensive wall. All you need is one on the field and in the graveyard and you can continuously recycle them. Just be careful of "Nobleman of Crossout" and monsters that inflict Piercing Damage.

• Use this card with "Ojama Trio" and/or "Ground Collapse" to limit the number of monsters your opponent can revive. Just keep in mind that our opponent can use up the tokens easily via Link Summoning.

• Use "Foolish Burial" to send a desired monster to the Graveyard so that you can Summon it with this card's effect.

  • Use it with "Needle Worm" to chew through your opponent's deck and Hand.

• Since you give your opponent resources every time you use "Spear Cretin"'s effect, you can activate "Raigeki", "Lightning Vortex", or similar cards to wipe the opposing monsters out.

• Using two copies of this card with Scrubbed Raid can lock down your opponent's attacks every turn.
