- This card can be searched with "Chaos-End Master", "Mother Grizzly", and "Sangan".
- This card works well with "Salvage".
- Due to the previous ruling of "Poison Draw Frog" with "Relinquished", when it is equipped to this card it still has its effect and thus every time you send a "Poison Draw Frog" equipped to "Sea Lancer" to the Graveyard to protect "Sea Lancer" you also get a free draw. With 3 copies of "Poison Draw Frog" you get 3 free draws every time you summon "Sea Lancer. (This also works with the effect of "Dupe Frog", allowing you to search a "Frog" monster instead of drawing.)
- Other interesting cards to equip to "Sea Lancer" include "Oyster Meister" (to get his effect when sent to the Graveyard) and "Freezing Beast" (making "Sea Lancer" destroy a face-down Spell or Trap every time it inflicts battle damage). Oyster Meister can produce a token that can serve as a substitute for "Treeborn Frog", as it can't summon itself when "Sea Lancer" is equipped with monsters. Also, note that to gain the destruction effect of "Freezing Beast", it must be equipped by "Freezing Beast"'s effect, not of "Sea Lancer"'s; because of this, "Sea Lancer" cannot destroy "Freezing Beast" to gain its second effect of avoiding destruction.
- Additionally, equip Dupe Frog to nab a Frog monster when this card would be destroyed.
- Normal summon this card without Tribute by using "A Legendary Ocean".
- This card can combo well with "Mage Power". Equip it with 4 different banished Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monsters then equip "Mage Power" and make Sea Lancer 4800/3500 as long as you can maintain its' four equipped monsters.
- You can use this card with "Ronintoadin", "Fenrir" or "Aqua Spirit" to get monsters removed for the effect of "Sea Lancer".
