- After summoning a Needle Token to your opponent's side of the field with this card, you can destroy that token with Fragrance Storm to draw a free card (or two if the first card drawn is a Plant-type monster).
- Make sure to summon this beforehand, but you can then combo Black Garden to summon a Rose Token with every monster this card battles and destroys.
- This card can be used in an OTK with "All-Out Attacks" to keep forcing the Needle Token into attacking Cactus Fighter every time one is Summoned. If you only control this face-up monster, that will keep happening until your opponent runs out of Life Points (provided that Cactus Fighter destroys one of your opponent's monsters during your opponent's turn). (See Cactus Fighter OTK for more ideas.)
- You can also use Savage Colosseum.
- You can also force your opponent to into this situation by using cards such as "Nightmare Archfiends", "Black Garden" or combos using cards that summon tokens/monsters like "Scapegoat", "Metal Reflect Slime", "Statue of the Wicked" or "Fires of Doomsday" and cards that give control of your monsters to your opponent (and thus triggering the effect of "All-Out Attacks") like "Creature Swap", "Shien's Spy", "Enemy Controller" or "Mystic Box".
- You can also use Savage Colosseum.
- Combine this card with "Seed Cannon" to generate many counters on Seed Cannon rapidly; you'll be able to use Seed Cannon's burn effect at maximum efficiency soon.
- Use this card as the first strike against your opponent's monsters so "Victory Viper XX03", "Falchionβ" etc. can use their effects more easily by destroying the needle token instead.
- Combine this card with Kaiser Colosseum and Ojama Trio for a lock.
- A small combo that can be used is with "Timeater" to have monsters to destroy safely for it, if in fear of a card like "Sakuretsu Armor" or "Newdoria" may be used to protect or counter the attack.
