Card Tips:Armityle the Chaos Phantasm

• During your opponent's turn, the ATK and DEF of this monster will be 0. Use "Spirit Barrier" to avoid taking battle damage or "Pixie Ring" while you control another monster to avoid battle completely.

• Use "H - Heated Heart" to deal a big amount of piercing damage during the time this card has a high ATK power. The card also gives this card 500 ATK points, which can temporarily help protect it whilst it has a low ATK.

• Mage Power can help ensure this card has an ATK and DEF as long as you possess Spell/Trap cards, which you will most likely have in your Deck in order to Summon the three monsters necessary to Special Summon "Armityle the Chaos Phantom".

• "Monster Reborn", "Different Dimension Reincarnation", "Call of the Haunted", "Escape from the Dark Dimension" or "Re-Fusion" can help bring this monster back from the Graveyard.
  • Use "Imperial Iron Wall" to prevent banishing of this card. and "Trap Stun"/"Royal Decree" to severe it from "Call of the Haunted" or "Dark Dimension Release".

• Equip this card with "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal". Although its ATK will drop to 9000, it will be able to attack directly, for an easy OTK even through, say, any Defense Position monsters your opponent may control.

• While this card can be very difficult to Summon, you can still take advantage of its extremely high ATK-boosting effect by copying said effect with "Phantom of Chaos":
  • You can send this card directly from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard with "Gale Dogra" or "Fusion Guard", avoiding the need to first Summon it and let it get destroyed.
  • With "Phantom of Chaos" copying this card, activate "Union Attack" and target "Gravekeeper's Vassal" (using its effect to bypass the no-battle damage restrictions), then attack for up to 10,700 damage.
  • Use "Mystik Wok" on that "Phantom of Chaos" to gain 10,000 Life Points.

• Use "Final Attack Orders" to switch all your opponent's Defense Position monsters to Attack Position, allowing you to attack with this card for even more heavy damage.
  • "Big Bang Shot" is another option.

• To Summon all three Sacred Beasts to Summon this card:
  • "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" requires three Fiend-Type Tributes, but the Summon is a Special Summon allowing the bypass of usual Tribute Summon restrictions. For example, you can use "Kuriboh" and "Multiply", then Tribute three "Kuriboh Tokens". ("Big Eye" may also be a good option, as it can search through part of your Deck for some key cards). Or use DNA Surgery
  • "Convulsion of Nature" combined with "Archfiend's Oath" can provide draw power as well as Tribute fodder for "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder".
  • Trap Monsters work nicely as defense and for Summoning "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames". "Ordeal of a Traveler" can serve as more defense while you gather the necessary cards.
  • See the Tips pages of each individual Sacred Beast for more Summoning tips.

• It is not recommended to attempt to Summon this card 'manually' by fusing the three Sacred Beasts, given that you will be giving up at least 12 cards to Summon 1, and the individual Sacred Beasts will usually have more combined ATK and stronger effects than this card. To Summon this card, all that you really need are three monsters whose names match those of the Sacred Beasts:
  • "Elemental HERO Prisma" can copy the name of any Fusion Material Monster, including a Sacred Beast.
    • You can use "Photon Veil", "Elemental HERO Stratos", "E - Emergency Call", and/or "Reinforcement of the Army" to get three copies to your hand, then Pendulum Summon the three of them or Normal Summon one and Special Summon the other two with "HERO's Bond". Now have each copy of "Prisma" gain the name of a different Sacred Beast.
    • Alternatively, you can Special Summon "Elemental HERO Prisma" by Pendulum Summon or by "A Hero Lives" or "Summoner Monk" while "Witch's Apprentice" is on the field, then use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to Summon the other 2.
  • If you get all three Sacred Beasts in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon "Phantom of Chaos", then use "Inferno Reckless Summon" to get two more. Have each copy of "Phantom of Chaos" gain the name and effect of a different Sacred Beast.

• Be wary when you attack with this card's extremely high ATK, as a single "Magic Cylinder" can cause you to be OTK'd yourself. Use "Trap Stun", "Scrubbed Raid" or "Royal Decree" to avoid this.

• Use "Falling Current or "Level Lifter" to lower this card's Level, then use "Infected Mail" to allow this card to attack directly.
  • If you use "Falling Current" to drop this card's Level to 1, you can also use "Opti-Camouflage Armor" for the direct attack.

• You can use "Crush Card Virus" to Tribute this card during your opponent's turn, as its ATK will be 0.
