• This card can be searched by "King of the Feral Imps", "Reptilianne Echidna", "Piri Reis Map", "Ice Barrier", "Crystal Girl", "Reptilianne Melusine", "Oshaleon", "Dark Alligator", "Animadorned Archosaur", "Gizmek Makami, the Ferocious Fanged Fortress", "Eria the Water Charmer, Gentle", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.

• This card can generally be used to gain the strong effect of a Tributed Effect Monster that otherwise has low ATK and/or DEF, and can additionally sidestep any conditional drawbacks present on the original monster.
  • You can Tribute a Special Summoned "Obelisk the Tormentor" to gain its powerful monster destruction effect and immunity to targeted card effects without sending this card to the Graveyard; Tributing "Hardened Armed Dragon" alongside "Obelisk" will grant further immunity to destruction from card effects.

• This card can serve as a substitute for the pre-errata "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" by Tribute Summoning this card using at least 1 "Chaos Emperor Dragon". While you won't be able to use the copied Nuke/Burn effect of "Chaos Emperor Dragon" on that same turn, you will be able to on later turns, and can do so without the condition preventing you from using other effects during the same turn.

• "The Monarchs Stormforth" can be used to Tribute an opponent's powerful monster, such as "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon".

• This card can benefit from being Tribute Summoned by Tributing monsters that are unaffected by card effects (such as "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes") or have other self-protective effects (such as the "Majespecter" monsters, "Divine Serpent Geh", "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon", etc.).
  • By Tributing "Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale" for its Tribute Summon (easily Special Summoned by "Instant Fusion"), this card will not only be unaffected by all other card effects, but also have 6000 ATK and be able to inflict 5000 damage per turn.
  • You can easily summon this card this way by putting 2 Level 4 monsters and any monsters, using both Level 4 monsters to summon "King of the Feral Imps" and using "King of the Feral Imps" and another card to summon "Predaplant Verte Anaconda". Use Anaconda, dump Instant Fusion and Special Summon "Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale".
