Card Tips:Drill Warrior


 * By activating "Drill Warrior"'s second effect, you can re-use Limited cards. This second effect also works well by combining it with "Foolish Burial" and "Dark Grepher" to add dumped cards from your Deck almost immediately to your Hand, at the cost of -1 card.
 * You can send monsters that work better in the Graveyard like "The Immortal Bushi" or "Destiny Hero - Dasher" while also getting a different card in return, effectively gaining more than what you had given.
 * You can use this effect to retrieve any "Exodia" piece that may have been sent to the Graveyard.


 * This card can easily be summoned by Normal Summoning "Marauding Captain" then Special Summon "Drill Synchron".


 * Another strategy is to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" and then summon "Turbo Booster" or, even better, "Tuningware" or "Dark Sea Rescue". (This combo also works for "Turbo Warrior".)


 * Use its effect that lets it attack directly in combination with "Armor Breaker" to destroy any card your opponent controls.


 * In Yusei-themed decks, summoning "Dark Bug" allows you to recycle "Drill Synchron" from the graveyard, which can then draw out "Quillbolt Hedgehog" from the graveyard to meet the Level 6 Synchro requirement.


 * This card works well in decks that rely on "Messenger of Peace".
 * In example, you can inflict 1200 Damage to your opponent, next turn 600, next turn 300....


 * This card is perfect for monsters that have effects that activate when Sent from hand to the Graveyard or When sent to the graveyard. NOTE that the second effect cannot be specific to another area. (ie. When sent from the field to the graveyard)
 * "Skull-Mark Ladybug"
 * "Dandylion" works especially well with this card. Simply discard "Dandylion" and create two tokens to defend you for the turn.  On your next standby phase, return "Dandylion" (or any other monster depending on the situation) to your hand and discard it again to create two more tokens.


 * A basic concept of how to use this card's effects to the maximum is as follows:
 * Main Phase 1: Halve this card's Attack with its effect.
 * Battle Phase: Attack directly with this card's effect.
 * Main Phase 2: Use this card's second effect to remove it from play by sending a card from hand to to the grave.(monster recommended)
 * Standby Phase: Replace this monster back to the field and pull a monster (even the one you sent, see above) from the graveyard.


 * You can make a very effective "Draw Engine" with "Drill Warrior" and "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World". Just discard "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World" with "Drill Warrior's" effect in order to draw 1 card, and keep recycling him when "Drill Warrior" comes back from being removed from play.  This way, you can continuously draw cards from the deck and speed it up, as well as protect both cards from your opponent for as long as you can.


 * You can Synchro Summon this card by using "Quickdraw Synchron" and a "Fluff Token" from "Dandylion". Send "Dandylion" to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron", because "Dandylion" is sent to the Graveyard, two "Fluff Tokens" will be Special Summoned.  Use 1 "Fluff Token" and "Quickdraw Synchron" to Synchro Summon this card. Direct attack with this card.  Then during your Main Phase 2, use this card's effect to remove this card from play.  Then Special Summon this card during your next Standby Phase, add "Dandylion" from your Graveyard to your hand, direct attack again w/ this card, then during you Main Phase 2, use this card's effect to remove itself from play, and use "Dandylion" as a discard material for this card's effect.  During your next turn, do everything again. This will create a mini-loop.


 * By using this card with any of the" Dark World" monsters, one can generate a large amount of card advantage through the summoning of monsters, the destroying of opponent's spells/traps, or the drawing of extra cards.


 * This card works well with "Synchron Explorer", if you used "Quickdraw Synchron" as the Synchro Material monster. When "Drill Warrior" is Special Summoned via his own effect, add "Synchron Explorer" to your hand to repeatedly Synchro Summon "Nitro Warriors" and/or "Junk Archers".


 * "Level Eater" also works well because you can continually summon it every turn, since this card's level is reset when it is removed from play so when it is special summoned. Simply have a "Monarch", Special Summon "Level Eater" and tribute it for the "Monarch".


 * This card works well with Volcanic cards. "Volcanic Scattershot" can inflict 500 damage to your opponent when is sent to the Graveyard and "Volcanic Shell" is level 1 to use with "Quickdraw Synchron" and you can use his effect to discard. Also both cards are great targets for "Debris Dragon". You can use "Volcanic Rocket" to add one "Blaze Accelerator" each turn to discard and get a free 1900 ATK beatsteak.


 * It is ideal to only have one "Drill Warrior" out at a time as you may overextend your field and lose advantage.
