Card Tips:Gladiator Beast Darius
- This card can be searched by any "Gladiator Beast" monster (except "Andal", "Essedarii", "Heraklinos", "Octavius", "Torax", and another copy of itself), "Test Panther", "Test Tiger", "Gladiator Rejection", "Gladiator Proving Ground", "Test Ape", "Double Tag Team", "Fire Formation - Tenki", "Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Tiger King", "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Fire Fortress atop Liang Peak", "Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable", "Aussa the Earth Channeler", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Summoner Monk", "Primathmech Alembertian", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Resonator Engine", "Soul Rope", "Rescue Ferret", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- You can use the effect of this card to Special Summon a "Gladiator Beast" and Special Summon "Gladiator Beast Essedarii".
- You can use the effect of this card to Special Summon "Gladiator Beast Octavius" and because its effect is negated you do not need to pay the discard cost to keep it on the field.
- Another option is to Special Summon "Gladiator Beast Andal". Since it is a Normal Monster it doesn't have any effect to be negated.
- This card is effective for quickly getting Fusion Materials on the field, especially for "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" and "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus".
- You can send the Special Summoned monster to your deck with "Test Tiger" to get another "Gladiator Beast" from your deck, to avoid it being sent back to the deck when this card is no longer on the field.
- Chain "Book of Moon" to this card and target this card, then the Special Summoned monster's effect will not be negated.
- The special summoned Gladiator Beast can use its effect of summoning another Gladiator Beast if it attacked before Darius and activates its effect first. This is because Gladiator Beasts effects that summons another Gladiator Beast requires them to return to the deck and leave the field as the Cost. Once they leave the field, their effects can no longer be negated.
Traditional Format[edit]
- Use with "Card of Safe Return" and "Solemn Wishes" to get quick cards and life points, respectively.
