This card can be searched by "Single Purchase", "Temple of the Kings", "Dragunity Corsesca", "Transmodify", "Painful Escape", "Ties of the Brethren", "Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn", "Merlin", "Soul Rope", "Resonator Engine", "Vampire Dragon", "Summoner Monk", "Chaos Zone", "Photon Veil", "Dragodies, the Empowered Warrior", "Freed the Matchless General", "Field-Commander Rahz", "Reinforcement of the Army", "Gaia, the Polar Knight" and "Exchange of Night and Day".

Summon this card and equip it with either "Noble Arms - Caliburn" or "Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr". Use the effect of that Equip Card (if possible), then if you control no monsters, use this card's effect to Special Summon a "Noble Knight" monster from your Deck. When the equipped "Noble Arms" card is destroyed by this card's effect, re-equip it to this card or the Special Summoned monster, and use the effect of the "Noble Arms" card again (if possible).

Specific Special Summoning Tips

"Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys can be re-equipped to itself (if possible), if one wishes to use both monsters for a Rank 5 Xyz Summon.
- Alternatively, the effect of "Laundsallyn" can be used to Tribute itself to retrieve a "Noble Arms" card from the Deck, in order for "Medraut" to protect itself with that "Noble Arms" card until its Special Summon effect can be used again.

"Noble Knight Artorigus": After that monster is Special Summoned, if "Medraut" destroys the only "Noble Arms" card equipped to itself (with that Equip Card being optionally re-equipped, but only to "Artorigus"), both monsters can be subsequently used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon. If "Artorigus" ends up being detached, this will set-up for the effect of "Lady of the Lake".

"Noble Knight Borz": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys should be re-equipped to "Borz" if possible, so that it can use its effect to retrieve another "Noble Arms" card (which can be equipped to "Medraut" if isn't equipped with a "Noble Arms" card already). With this, both monsters can be subsequently used for a Rank 5 Xyz Summon.
- "Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus" is an ideal monster to Xyz Summon at this time, since the Graveyard is already supplied with "Noble Arms" cards sent there by the effect of "Borz".
- Alternatively, if "Noble Knight Gawayn" is in the hand and "Medraut" is still a Normal Monster after the effect of "Borz" was used, "Gawayn" can be Special Summoned by its own effect in order for it and "Medraut" to be used to Xyz Summon "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights", taking advantage of the "Noble Arms" cards in the Graveyard sent by the effect of "Borz".

"Noble Knight Drystan": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys can be re-equipped to "Drystan" (if possible), so that its effect can be triggered to destroy a face-up card on the field.
- It is important to note that if the opponent controls no face-up cards, this card's controller will be forced to destroy one of their own.
- Afterwards, the first effect of "Drystan" can serve to protect "Medraut". If "Drystan" happens to leave the field or be flipped face-down, its "Noble Arms" Equip Cards can be re-equipped to "Medraut" for some lingering protection. However, reliance on this strategy will prevent "Medraut" from being able to activate its effect in the meantime.
- If "Medraut" is equipped with no other "Noble Arms" cards, both monsters can be subsequently used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon.

"Noble Knight Gwalchavad": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys can be re-equipped to "Gwalchavad" (if possible), so that its effect can be used to retrieve a fallen "Noble Knight" monster.
- It is important to note that if the effect of "Gwalchavad" is subsequently used during the same turn, the re-equipped "Noble Arms" card will not be able to re-equip itself a second time (unless a different "Noble Arms" card is destroyed instead).
- Alternatively, if "Noble Knight Gawayn" is in the hand, it can be Special Summoned via its own effect (before the effect of "Gwalchavad" is used, and assuming "Medraut" is now treated as a Normal Monster), so that it and "Medraut" can be used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon. Ideally, the Xyz Monster should be able to detach "Gawayn" as an Xyz Material immediately afterwards, so that the effect of "Gwalchavad" can be used to retrieve it for another Special Summon from the hand (assuming "Gwalchavad" is now treated as a Normal Monster as well) for another Rank 4 Xyz Summon.
  - "Blade Armor Ninja" or "Heroic Champion - Excalibur" are ideal monsters to Summon with this combo, if aiming for an OTK.

"Noble Knight Eachtar": "Eachtar" is ideal to Special Summon if there are sufficient "Noble Arms" cards in the Graveyard. In that case, after that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys should be re-equipped to itself if possible, so that both monsters can be used to Xyz Summon the Rank 5 "Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus". This is because this card's effect prevents the opponent from negating that monster's Summon or Chaining to that monster's equipping effect.
- "Eachtar" is also ideal to Special Summon with this card's effect when the Graveyard has plenty of "Noble Knight" monsters to be banished for its own Special Summon effect.

"Noble Knight Bedwyr": If there are less than 3 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards in the Graveyard, "Bedwyr" can be Special Summoned (and the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys should be optionally re-equipped to "Bedwyr", or not at all) so that its effect can be used to add an additional "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card to the Graveyard, before both monsters are used to Xyz Summon a Rank 4 Xyz Monster, which would ideally be "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights".
- It is important to note that this combo only works if "Medraut" isn't equipped with any other "Noble Arms" cards, which would make it Level 5. However, this can be remedied by using the second effect of "Bedwyr" to re-equip the remaining "Noble Arms" card to itself.

"Noble Knight Brothers": "Brothers" is ideal to Special Summon for the benefits of its last effect, if one is running low on "Noble Knight"/"Noble Arms" cards for combos. Afterwards, both monsters can be used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon (if "Medraut" was equipped with only 1 "Noble Arms" card that was subsequently destroyed), or "Brothers" can remain on the field with its high DEF for protection.

Generic Special Summoning Tips

If "Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn" is in the hand or Graveyard, the effect of "Medraut" can be used to Special Summon "Noble Knight Artorigus" or a "Noble Knight" monster that is treated as a Normal Monster, in order for that monster to be used for the Special Summon of "Black Laundsallyn".
- Alternatively, if "Medraut" is only equipped with 1 "Noble Arms" card, its effect can destroy that card so that it can be used for the Special Summon of "Black Laundsallyn" instead.

If one desires a specific "Noble Knight" monster to be in the hand (such as "Noble Knight Brothers" for its Special Summon effect), and "Genex Ally Birdman" is also in the hand, the effect of "Medraut" can be used to Special Summon the appropriate monster from the Deck, before the effect of "Birdman" is used to return that monster or "Medraut" to the hand. Depending on the circumstances, a Level 7 or 8 Synchro Monster can be subsequently Synchro Summoned.

 ==Specific Special Summoning Tips==
-* "[[Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn]]": After Special Summoning this card, if "Medraut" is equipped with a "[[Noble Arms]]" card, you can Xyz Summon a Rank 5 monster using both monsters.
+* "[[Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn]]": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys can be re-equipped to itself (if possible), if one wishes to use both monsters for a Rank 5 Xyz Summon.
-** If Medraut is unequipped (because the "Noble Arms" card Medraut destroyed was unable to equip to Medraut again), you can Tribute Laundsallyn by its own effect to search a "Noble Arms" card from your Deck, equipping it to Medraut to give it further protection. This can also allow Medraut to activate its effect next turn, if you control no other monsters.
+** Alternatively, the effect of "Laundsallyn" can be used to Tribute itself to retrieve a "Noble Arms" card from the Deck, in order for "Medraut" to protect itself with that "Noble Arms" card until its Special Summon effect can be used again.
-* "[[Noble Knight Artorigus]]": After Special Summoning this card, re-equip the "Noble Arms" Equip Card that Medraut destroyed to it (if applicable). Xyz Summon a Rank 4 monster with it and Medraut (assuming Medraut has no other "Noble Arms" Equip Cards equipped to it), then detach Artorigus for that monster's effect. Doing so will set-up plays for the effect of "[[Lady of the Lake]]".
+* "[[Noble Knight Artorigus]]": After that monster is Special Summoned, if "Medraut" destroys the only "Noble Arms" card equipped to itself (with that Equip Card being optionally re-equipped, but only to "Artorigus"), both monsters can be subsequently used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon. If "Artorigus" ends up being [[detach]]ed, this will set-up for the effect of "[[Lady of the Lake]]".
-* "[[Noble Knight Borz]]": After this card is Special Summoned, re-equip the "Noble Arms" Equip Card that "Medraut" destroyed to it (if applicable). If you did, use the effect of Borz to search a "Noble Arms" card and equip that card to Medraut to make it Level 5 again (if it wasn't already equipped with any other "Noble Arms" cards). Then, you can Xyz Summon any Rank 5 monster with this card and Borz.
+* "[[Noble Knight Borz]]": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys should be re-equipped to "Borz" if possible, so that it can use its effect to retrieve another "Noble Arms" card (which can be equipped to "Medraut" if isn't equipped with a "Noble Arms" card already). With this, both monsters can be subsequently used for a Rank 5 Xyz Summon.
-** Xyz Summoning "[[Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus]]" afterwards is highly advantageous, since you can equip the other "Noble Arms" cards that Borz sent to the Graveyard, via its effect.
+** "[[Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus]]" is an ideal monster to Xyz Summon at this time, since the Graveyard is already supplied with "Noble Arms" cards sent there by the effect of "Borz".
-** Alternatively, if you have "[[Noble Knight Gawayn]]" in your hand and Medraut is unequipped after you've used the effect of Borz, you can Special Summon Gawayn and then use it and Medraut to Xyz Summon "[[Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights]]", taking advantage of the "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards Borz sent to the Graveyard.
+** Alternatively, if "[[Noble Knight Gawayn]]" is in the hand and "Medraut" is still a [[Normal Monster]] after the effect of "Borz" was used, "Gawayn" can be Special Summoned by its own effect in order for it and "Medraut" to be used to Xyz Summon "[[Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights]]", taking advantage of the "Noble Arms" cards in the Graveyard sent by the effect of "Borz".
-* "[[Noble Knight Drystan]]": After this card is Special Summoned, re-equip the "Noble Arms" Equip Card that Medraut destroyed to it (if applicable). If you did, this will activate the effect of Drystan, destroying a face-up card on the field. Be warned that if your opponent controls no face-up cards, you will have to destroy one of your own.
+* "[[Noble Knight Drystan]]": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys can be re-equipped to "Drystan" (if possible), so that its effect can be triggered to destroy a face-up card on the field.
+** It is important to note that if the opponent controls no face-up cards, this card's controller will be forced to destroy one of their own.
-** Drystan can also protect Medraut with its effect afterwards. If it happens to be destroyed, you can always re-equip the "Noble Arms" Equip Cards from it to Medraut, giving Medraut some protection even afterwards. But be warned that while you control Drystan (or any other monster), you will not be able to use the effect of Medraut.
+** Afterwards, the first effect of "Drystan" can serve to protect "Medraut". If "Drystan" happens to leave the field or be flipped face-down, its "Noble Arms" Equip Cards can be re-equipped to "Medraut" for some lingering protection. However, reliance on this strategy will prevent "Medraut" from being able to activate its effect in the meantime.
+** If "Medraut" is equipped with no other "Noble Arms" cards, both monsters can be subsequently used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon.
-* "[[Noble Knight Gwalchavad]]": After this card is Special Summoned, re-equip the "Noble Arms" Equip Card that Medraut destroyed to it (if applicable). If you did, use the effect of Gwalchavad, but keep in mind that if you destroy the "Noble Arms" card that was re-equipped to it from Medraut, that "Noble Arms" card will not be able to re-equip itself (since it was already destroyed once this turn).
+* "[[Noble Knight Gwalchavad]]": After that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys can be re-equipped to "Gwalchavad" (if possible), so that its effect can be used to retrieve a fallen "Noble Knight" monster.
+** It is important to note that if the effect of "Gwalchavad" is subsequently used during the same turn, the re-equipped "Noble Arms" card will not be able to re-equip itself a second time (unless a different "Noble Arms" card is destroyed instead).
-** Alternatively, if you have "[[Noble Knight Gawayn]]" in your hand, you can Special Summon it from your hand before you use the effect of Gwalchavad (assuming Medraut is no longer equipped with any "Noble Arms" Equip Cards). Xyz Summon a Rank 4 monster with Gawayn and Medraut, then detach Gawayn from the Xyz Monster to activate its effect. Then use the effect of Gwalchavad, adding Gawayn back to your hand and destroying the "Noble Arms" Equip Card equipped to it. Assuming Gwalchavad doesn't have any other "Noble Arms" cards equipped to it, Special Summon Gawayn from your hand and Xyz Summon another Rank 4 monster.
+** Alternatively, if "[[Noble Knight Gawayn]]" is in the hand, it can be Special Summoned via its own effect (before the effect of "Gwalchavad" is used, and assuming "Medraut" is now treated as a Normal Monster), so that it and "Medraut" can be used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon. Ideally, the Xyz Monster should be able to detach "Gawayn" as an Xyz Material immediately afterwards, so that the effect of "Gwalchavad" can be used to retrieve it for another Special Summon from the hand (assuming "Gwalchavad" is now treated as a Normal Monster as well) for another Rank 4 Xyz Summon.
-*** If you Xyz Summon a total of 2 "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]" and/or "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" this way, an OTK can be had.
+*** "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]" or "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" are ideal monsters to Summon with this combo, if aiming for an [[OTK]].
-* "[[Noble Knight Eachtar]]": If you have a sufficient amount of "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards in your Graveyard, Special Summon this card, then Xyz Summon any Rank 5 monster with it and Medraut. This is especially effective when Summoning "Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus", as this card's effect prevents your opponent from negating that monster's Summon or Chaining to that monster's equipping effect.
+* "[[Noble Knight Eachtar]]": "Eachtar" is ideal to Special Summon if there are sufficient "Noble Arms" cards in the Graveyard. In that case, after that monster is Special Summoned, the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys should be re-equipped to itself if possible, so that both monsters can be used to Xyz Summon the Rank 5 "[[Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus]]". This is because this card's effect prevents the opponent from negating that monster's Summon or Chaining to that monster's equipping effect.
+** "Eachtar" is also ideal to Special Summon with this card's effect when the Graveyard has plenty of "Noble Knight" monsters to be banished for its own Special Summon effect.
-* "[[Noble Knight Bedwyr]]": If you have less than 3 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards in your Graveyard, Special Summon this card and re-equip the "Noble Arms" Equip Card that Medraut destroyed to it (if applicable). Then, use its effect to add an additional "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card to your Graveyard, before Xyz Summoning "Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights".
+* "[[Noble Knight Bedwyr]]": If there are less than 3 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards in the Graveyard, "Bedwyr" can be Special Summoned (and the "Noble Arms" card that "Medraut" destroys should be optionally re-equipped to "Bedwyr", or not at all) so that its effect can be used to add an additional "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card to the Graveyard, before both monsters are used to Xyz Summon a Rank 4 Xyz Monster, which would ideally be "[[Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights]]".
-** Keep in mind this combo only works if Medraut is no longer equipped with any "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Cards, since it needs to be Level 4.
+** It is important to note that this combo only works if "Medraut" isn't equipped with any other "Noble Arms" cards, which would make it Level 5. However, this can be remedied by using the second effect of "Bedwyr" to re-equip the remaining "Noble Arms" card to itself.
-* "[[Noble Knight Brothers]]": If you are running low on cards for your combos to work, Special Summon this card and use its effect. Its high DEF will also serve as some protection if you leave it on the field.
+* "[[Noble Knight Brothers]]": "Brothers" is ideal to Special Summon for the benefits of its last effect, if one is running low on "Noble Knight"/"Noble Arms" cards for combos. Afterwards, both monsters can be used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon (if "Medraut" was equipped with only 1 "Noble Arms" card that was subsequently destroyed), or "Brothers" can remain on the field with its high DEF for protection.
