Card Tips:Andro Sphinx
- This card can be searched by "Dream Tower of Princess Nemleria", "Nemleria Louve", "Melffy Catty", "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", "Chaos Zone", "Link Party", and other generic searchers.
- This card can Tribute Summoned with one Tribute by using "Kaiser Sea Horse" and "The First Monarch".
- This card can be easily summoned by using "Photon Sanctuary".
- You can set this card, and then activate "Book of Taiyou" to let you attack with it.
- This card has a level of 10. This can be used with other cards for multiple reasons.
- You can Special Summon this card with its own effect, and then Normal Summon "The Calculator" for a lot of damage.
- If this card is on the field, summon "Sphinx Teleia", then activate "Torrential Tribute" or "Dark Hole" to destroy them both, then pay 500 Life Points to summon "Theinen the Great Sphinx".
- This card can be Tributed to summon "Exxod, Master of The Guard".
- When the "Pyramid of Light" is on the field, you can use the effect of this card and Special Summon it to the field then, Tribute it to summon "Great Maju Garzett" to have a 6000 ATK monster.
- Use "Big Bang Shot" or "Fairy Meteor Crush" to inflict additional damage through battle, or have an "Enraged Battle Ox" on the field, since "Andro Sphinx" is Beast-Type.
- "Horn of the Phantom Beast" is a good choice too to increase its ATK and let you draw a card.
- Activate "Shield & Sword" before attacking, to switch the ATK and DEF of your opponent's monsters to inflict more damage (as most monsters in defense mode have high DEF, which is now turned into it's ATK). "Andro Sphinx" will not be affected as much since there is only a 500 point difference in his ATK and DEF, and your opponent's monster will be significantly weakened.
- Keep in mind that this card can be Special Summoned by another card such as "A Hero Emerges".
- This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
- Note that while you may have two "Sphinx Teleia" and "Andro Sphinx" each on your side of the field, the effect to Special Summon "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is a Spell Speed 1 and so you cannot Special Summon two at the same time.
- You may use "Block Attack", "Stumbling" or "Enemy Controller" to keep your opponent's monsters in Defence Position to be sure to activate this monster's effect.
- It can actually be better to use this card without "Theinen the Great Sphinx" or "Sphinx Teleia", as the former lacks any particular gamebreaking effect, while the latter's effect is somewhat redundant ("Teleia" having only average ATK for a 2 tributer, while only dealing effect damage based upon DEF, which most monsters do not have a lot of, or is too strong for "Teleia" to destroy).
- You can use this card in combo with "Sphinx Teleia" & "Pyramid of Light" to summon a Rank 10 Xyz monster easily.
- You can easily retrieve this card from the graveyard by using "Beckoning Light".
Traditional Format[edit]
- Because this card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, it could work well in a Different Dimension Deck. You could easily Summon this card by using "Return from the Different Dimension". Also, this card is banish if it is face-up on the field when "Pyramid of Light" is removed from the field. "Return from the Different Dimension" could also be useful if this happens.
