Card Tips:Beast King Barbaros


 * This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute (or two for its second effect) using "The Trojan Horse".
 * Use "Soul Rope" or "Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane" to Special Summon "The Trojan Horse".


 * While "Skill Drain" is on the field, when this card is Normal Summoned without Tribute, it will keep its 3000 ATK.
 * This is a great monster in a Skill Drain Deck since it's never a Dead Draw. Even without "Skill Drain", this card is effective, since Summoning him without Tribute gets him with decent ATK, and its effect to wipe out all opposing cards is extremely handy.
 * Wait until your opponent attacks this card then activate "Forbidden Chalice" to give it 3400 ATK and reset it's effect.
 * Equipping this card with "Axe of Fools" turns him into a no tribute beater with 4000 ATK.


 * Use this card with "Trade-In" as a Draw Engine and then Special Summon it later with "Call of the Haunted."


 * This card can be useful in a Ritual deck as it has the same ATK as many level 4 normal monsters, but has twice the Level.


 * This monster should be an ideal Tribute for "Advance Draw".


 * Easily combo this monster with "Pole Position". Since he's most likely to be the strongest monster when Summoned without Tribute, it'll turn him into a 1900 ATK, anti-Spell beatstick
 * An alternate strategy is using "Burden of the Mighty", also neutralizing the opponent's strength.


 * This card can be easily Summoned with 3 Tributes by Special Summoning "Hero Kid", allowing you to use his effect to Special Summon two more. You can then Tribute the 3 "Hero Kids" to summon "Beast King Barbaros".
 * "Treeborn Frog", "Samsara Lotus", "Destiny Hero - Malicious", "Nimble Momonga" and "Hydrogeddon" are also good cards to get the three tributes for this card.
 * Use "Gilasaurus" to have 1 monster on your field; your opponent also will Special Summon another one, but if you use "Barbaros" tributing 3 monsters, the Special Summoned monster of your opponent will be destroyed.
 * You can use "Foolish Burial" with "Dandylion" (just remember you can't tribute the tokens the turn you activate "Dandylion's" effect) or "Hero Kid" and revive them with "Limit Reverse" for more special summons or if you are using "Hero Kid", "Graceful Revival". You can even use "Pot of Avarice" beforehand to recycle two of your "Hero Kids" for special summoning if all 3 are in your graveyard or you can choose all 3 "Hero Kid" if you plan on special summoning them from your deck.
 * "Inferno Reckless Summon" also works wonders here. Whatever monster your opponent summons will be irrelevant, as they will be destroyed when "Beast King Barbaros" enters the field.

Traditional Format

 * This card can create an OTK in conjunction with the three "Gadget" monsters and "Ultimate Offering". Fill the field with "Gadgets", then Tribute them for "Beast King Barbaros", use "Metamorphosis" for "Cyber Twin Dragon", and use "Limiter Removal".
