Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki
  • Remember that this card specifies Equip Cards, not just Equip Spells. Union Monsters and Traps such as "Metalmorph" will also grant him additional attacks.
  • Equipping this card with "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal" and at least two more equips that boost by at least 2500 ATK will enable the Ben-Kei OTK - this was the reason for "Mage Power's" historical Limited status.
    • "United We Stand" similarly enables such an OTK alongside attacks from the other monsters you control - for example, controlling two other monsters makes this card a 2900 ATK beater that can attack twice.
  • "Ben Kei's" effect works well with "Hundred Eyes Dragon" making it a multi-attacker if it has at least 1 Equip card on it. With a higher original ATK, "Hundred Eyes" can perform the same OTKs with less cards.
    • If battle damage is not your goal, "Phantom of Chaos" can also copy this card's multi-attack effect for a turn. "Junk Barrage" would be useful to bypass "Phantom's" inability to deal battle damage.

Traditional Format[]

  • A common strategy is to use "Giant Trunade" to clear your opponent's set Spell and Trap cards, then equip "Ben Kei" with cards that increase his ATK such as "Axe of Despair", "Mask of Brutality" and "Mage Power" and allowing you to attack multiple times. "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal" allows this card to attack directly, and is deadly when combined with the ATK boosting Equip Spell Cards previously mentioned. "Fairy Meteor Crush" is also useful for the ability to do piercing damage, although "Big Bang Shot" is more often used because of its Attack boost of 400. Take caution when attempting to attack, however. Your opponent may have a set card such as "Old Vindictive Magician" or "D.D. Warrior Lady", which could pose a serious problem for "Ben Kei". It is often helpful to include "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou" to combat such effects.
    • You should also take caution when attacking while "Ben Kei" is equipped with "Big Bang Shot" because if "Big Bang Shot" is removed from the field, "Ben Kei" is removed from play. You can use "Imperial Iron Wall" to stop "Ben Kei" from being removed from play when "Big Bang Shot" is removed from the field.
    • Use "Power Tool Dragon" to ensure that you always have an equip spell to play.
