  • Although "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" is generally the better option if you have three material monsters to use, this card is perhaps more suitable when you have no cards in your hand, or when you need to set up a play for "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus".
  • This card can be immensely useful in certain matchups:
    • Against Bujin decks, this card prevents the use of "Bujingi Crane" (as well as the recently released "Bujingi Sinyou") and, due to the Bujin monsters' generally average base ATK stats, this card proves useful for swinging over their monsters.
    • Against Madolche decks, this card prevents the monster destroyed by this card from returning to the deck (or the hand if "Madolche Chateau" is in play), eventually causing them to run out of resources; however, be aware that a new copy of "Chateau" can recycle them on its own, also being in the Graveyard makes them an easy target for "Madolche Queen Tiaramisu".
    • This card effectively single-handedly defeats Cosmic Dragon decks, by preventing them from floating during the Damage Step.
    • This card proves especially useful against "El-Shadoll Nephilim". "Nephilim"'s effect during the damage step to destroy "Nerokius" will not activate, also only "Nephilim" will be destroyed as a result of "Nerokius"'s effect, and "Nephilim"'s recursion effect will not be able to trigger.
