Summoning

• This card can be more easily Special Summoned from the Extra Deck (though ignoring its Summoning condition) by "Dimension Fusion Destruction" or "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury" (which can also be Summoned by the previous card in the same way).
  • In a dedicated Sacred Beast deck, "Opening of the Spirit Gates" can not only search "Phantasmal Summoning Beast", but also Special Summon it from the GY. Provided there already is a valid monster (Fiend monster with 0 ATK/DEF) in the GY, "Opening of the Spirit Gates" can discard "Phantasmal Summoning Beast" as a cost, and immediately Special Summon it.
    • "Dark Beckoning Beast" can add "Opening of the Spirit Gates" to the hand, and be used to Link Summon "Salamangreat Almiraj", enabling the aforementioned combo.
    • If at least two cards between "Chaos Core"/"Phantasmal Summoning Beast" and "Dark Beckoning Beast"/"Opening of the Spirit Gates" are in the player's hand, "Salamangreat Almiraj" can trigger the effect of "Chaos Core" in order to setup for the Summon of either this card or "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury", using "Phantasmal Summoning Beast" to search "Dimension Fusion Destruction".
  • When deciding to either Special Summon this card or "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury" with "Dimension Fusion Destruction", this card is preferred if the player is able to OTK with its attack this turn.

• It is not recommended to attempt to Summon this card 'manually' by fusing the three Sacred Beasts, given that you will be giving up at least 12 cards to Summon 1, and the individual Sacred Beasts will usually have more combined ATK and stronger effects than this card. To Summon this card, all that you really need are three monsters whose names match those of the Sacred Beasts:
  • "Elemental HERO Prisma" can copy the name of any Fusion Material Monster, including a Sacred Beast.
    • You can use "Photon Veil", "Elemental HERO Stratos", "E - Emergency Call", and/or "Reinforcement of the Army" to get three copies to your hand, then Pendulum Summon the three of them or Normal Summon one and Special Summon the other two with "HERO's Bond". Now have each copy of "Prisma" gain the name of a different Sacred Beast.
    • Alternatively, you can Special Summon "Elemental HERO Prisma" by Pendulum Summon or by "A Hero Lives" or "Summoner Monk" while "Witch's Apprentice" is on the field, then use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Summon the other 2.
  • If you get all three Sacred Beasts in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon "Phantom of Chaos", then use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get two more. Have each copy of "Phantom of Chaos" gain the name and effect of a different Sacred Beast.

General

• During your opponent's turn, the ATK/DEF of this monster will be 0. Use "Spirit Barrier" to avoid taking battle damage or "Pixie Ring" while you control another monster to avoid battle completely. Special Summoning this card via "Dimension Fusion Destruction" will also help avoid taking any battle damage from battles involving this card.

• While this card can be very difficult to Summon, you can still take advantage of its extremely high ATK-boosting effect by copying said effect with "Phantom of Chaos":
  • You can send this card directly from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard with "Gale Dogra" or "Fusion Guard", avoiding the need to first Summon it and let it get destroyed.
  • Use "Mystik Wok" on that "Phantom of Chaos" to gain 10,000 Life Points.

• Use "Final Attack Orders" to switch all your opponent's Defense Position monsters to Attack Position, allowing you to attack with this card for even more heavy damage.
  • "Big Bang Shot" is another option.

• Be wary when you attack with this card's extremely high ATK, as a single "Magic Cylinder" can cause you to be OTK'd yourself. Use "Fallen Paradise", "Trap Stun", "Scrubbed Raid" or "Royal Decree" to avoid this.
