Card Tips:Hiita the Fire Charmer

Hiita is perhaps the most serious of the charmers, and probably gets the most frustrated when she doesn't succeed during a duel. Even so, not only is she equally as weak (no offense) as her sister charmers, bust with the lack of FIRE monsters in comparison to the rest of the attributes, she has the least number of opportunities to become effective. In order to use Hiita the Fire Charmer effectively, consider these following tips:

1. Hiita the Fire Charmer can be tributed along with one other FIRE monster to summon Familiar-Possessed - Hiita from the hand or deck. The Familiar-Possessed version gains the piercing effect if she is summoned in this way. See the Familiar-Possessed - Hiita card tip page for more details.

2. It is always best to steal one FIRE monster before activating Familiar-Possessed - Hiita's effect.

3. To steal stronger FIRE monsters from your opponent, it is best to use Waboku or any other card that stops your opponent from attacking before Hiita the Fire Charmer is flipped.

4. You may choose to attack first with the FIRE monster acquired from Hiita the Fire Charmer's effect before tributing for Familiar-Possessed Hiita.

5. If you choose to keep the FIRE monster you have taken control of, equip Hiita the Fire Charmer with sufficient equip cards in order to keep her on the field. If Hiita the Fire Charmer is removed from the field, control of the snatched monster is returned to your opponent, so watch out! Mist Body is a good recommendation.

6. You may choose to tribute the stolen FIRE monster to normal summon an even stronger monster. Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 is a recommendation, as is any of the Monarchs. In some cases, you can choose to tribute both Hiita the Fire Charmer and the stolen FIRE monster to normal summon even stronger monsters such as Yamata Dragon, Tyrant Dragon, or other monsters.

7. If Hiita the Fire Charmer is face-down on the field and there are two opposing monsters on the opponent's side, summon Lava Golem, and then use Hiita the Fire Charmer's flip effect to take the Lava Golem back.

8. If you choose not to have a FIRE deck, or if you choose to not include Familiar-Possessed - Hiita, Hiita the Fire Charmer should be side decked during a match duel.
