- Monsters that can only be Normal or Tribute Summoned: "The Wicked Avatar" (Must be Normal Summoned/Set by Tributing 3 monsters), and Special Summon Monsters
- Monsters with specific or alternate Normal / Tribute Summoning conditions: "Archfiend Emperor, the First Lord of Horror" (You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing)
- Material limitations:
- Restricting the other monsters that can be used as material, such as "Eccentric Boy" (When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monster is 1 monster in your hand)
- Preventing usage as a Fusion ("Chimeratech Fortress Dragon"), Synchro ("Ronintoadin"), Xyz ("Number S39: Utopia the Lightning"), or Link Material ("Folgo, Justice Fur Hire")

- Both of them are Level / Rank 0 due to an exceptional Summoning condition.
