Card Tips:Darkworld Shackles
- This card can be searched by "Hidden Armory", "Armory Call", "Vylon Cube", "Power Tool Dragon", "Ashoka Pillar", "Noble Knight's Spearholder", "Tool Box", "Infernoble Knight - Roland", "Gearbreed", "Vylon Delta", "Mikanko Rivalry", "Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu", "Power Tool Braver Dragon", "Vylon Sigma", "Fairy Tail - Rella", "Courageous Crimson Chevalier Bradamante", "Glory of the Noble Knights", and other generic searchers.
- Equip this to "Lava Golem" after summoning it to your opponent's side of the field to weaken its ATK and DEF and for massive effect damage.
- Though this obviously is useful against opponent's monsters, you can equip this card to your own Machine Monster and use "Machine Duplication" to summon two more at full attack.
- Combine this tactic with Equip Shot to inflict massive damage.
- Use this card in tandem with Mist Body (or any monster that is not destroyed by battle) whilst your opponent's monster is in Attack Position to get a nearly direct line to their life points.
- This can help use the effects of monsters whose effects only activate when they destroy a monster by battle, such as "Fenrir", "Hydrogeddon", "Timeater", or Inferno. This is especially true for low-ATK monsters under this category, or when opposing a monster with overwhelmingly high ATK (ex. 4000).
- This card is especially useful in a Blackwing Deck due to their potential for high piercing battle damage and the effect of "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame". Use the effect of "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" to combine the ATK of all your "Blackwings" into one, and attack the equipped monster.
- Use this card with Thorn of Malice to create a weak monster that can be attack repeatedly that also burns your opponent on their own turns.
- Combo this with Discord and/or Mask of Restrict to prevent the Equipped monster from being used as a Tribute or as Synchro Material. Be sure that this doesn't interrupt your own strategies though.
- This card would best be used in a Karakuri deck, due to their "must attack" effect.
- Effective in Venom Decks to help counter 0 ATK monsters who are remained unaffected by Venom Swamp or to remove high attack monsters from the field with a single Venom Counter.
- Use this card in an opponent's monster while you control Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech to increase its attack, deal damage to your opponent and disable an opponent's monster.
