• This card can also be Summoned with the following "Rank-Up-Magic" cards:
  • "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" on Full Armored Crystalzero Lancer, Gauntlet Launcher, Number 39: Utopia Beyond, Number C73: Abyss Supra Splash, Photon Strike Bounzer, Sword Breaker.
  • "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force" on any Rank 6 Xyz Monster.
  • "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force" on Constellar Pleiades, Number C39: Utopia Ray V, Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory, Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus, Ultimate Dragonic Utopia Ray, Ultimate Leo Utopia Ray.

• In a Deck focused on Rank 4 monsters, this card can be Summoned with extra materials by Xyz Summoning "Number 39: Utopia" followed by "Number C39: Utopia Ray", then using "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" or "Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force" on it to Xyz Summon "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus" to use as material for this card, resulting in 5 materials (6 if "Barian's Force" is able to take a material from an opponent's monster).

• In a Deck focused on Rank 5 monsters, this card can be Summoned by Xyz Summoning "N.As.H. Knight" followed by "CXyz N.As.Ch. Knight", then using the latter's effect to Xyz Summon any "Number C10X" monster to use as material for this card. "N.As.H. Knight" can also attach a "Number 10X" monster from the Extra Deck to itself for "CXyz N.As.Ch. Knight" to detach for its effect, to allow this card to copy its effect.

• If a player has multiple "Rank-Up-Magic" cards in a Deck focused on Rank 8 monsters, especially an "Argent Chaos Force" that has not used its GY effect, this card can be Summoned with extra materials by repeatedly using "Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" as material to Xyz Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon", then ranking it back up into another "Number C107".
  • "Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon" can be useful as the Rank 8 monster Xyz Summoned at the start of the combo, since it can be used as material for "Number C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon" before either ranking up into "Number C107" or using it as material for "Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon", depending on how many "Rank-Up-Magic" cards the player has in their hand.

• This card can copy the name of a "Number C10X" monster to use itself as material to Xyz Summon another copy of itself.
  • Copying "Number C101: Silent Honor DARK" in this way will allow it to attach an additional material to itself with the copied effect.

• If needed, cards like "Xyz Energy" or "Xyz Gift" can detach "Number" materials from this card to copy their effects.

• Copying the effect of "Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon" or "Number C5: Chaos Chimera Dragon" will effectively double its ATK as it will gain 2000 ATK per material.

• "Stoic Challenge" can give this card a large ATK boost and drastically increase the damage it can deal.
  • Using "Number C102: Archfiend Seraph" as material for this card after it has used its effect will result in a 0 ATK monster for this card to attack, resulting in a One Turn Kill if this card has 3 or more material.

Countering

• "Skill Drain" will cripple this card, dropping its ATK to 0 and negating any effects it has gained.

• This card has no protection unless it copies such an effect from the GY; as such, activating a card on the controller's turn before they can use the effect will get rid of it.

• "Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech" and "Number C103: Ragna Infinity" outright punish this card for having high ATK.

• Cards that detach Xyz Material from opponent's monsters, such as "Temtempo the Percussion Djinn" and "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", can weaken this card.
