• This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute (or two for its second effect) using "The Trojan Horse".
  • Use Soul Rope or Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane to special summon the Trojan Horse.

• While "Skill Drain" is on the field, when this card is Normal Summoned without Tribute, it will keep its 3000 ATK.
  • This is a great monster in a Skill Drain Deck since it's never a Dead Draw. Even without Skill Drain, this card splashes very well into many decks, since unlike most other high-level monsters it's still useful if you have no Tribute Fodder, and its effect to wipe out all opposing cards is extremely handy.
  • Wait until your opponent attacks this card then activate Forbidden Chalice to give it 3400ATK and reset it's effect.

• Use this card with "Trade-In" as a Draw Engine and then Special Summon it later with "Call of the Haunted."

• This card can be useful in a Ritual deck as it has the same ATK as many level 4 normal monsters, but has twice the Level.

• Use "Giant Rat" or "Warrior Lady of the Wasteland" to Special Summon "Hero Kid", allowing you to use his effect to Special Summon two more. You can then Tribute the 3 "Hero Kids" to summon "Beast King Barbaros".
  • "Treeborn Frog", "Samsara Lotus", "Destiny Hero - Malicious", "Nimble Momonga", and "Hydrogeddon" are also good cards to get the three tributes for this card.
  • Use "Gilasaurus" to have 1 monster on your field; your opponent also will Special Summon another one, but if you use Barbaros tributing 3 monsters, the Special Summoned monster of your opponent will be destroyed.
  • You can use Foolish Burial with Dandylion (just remember you can't tribute the tokens the turn you activate Dandylion's effect) or Hero Kid and revive them with Limit Reverse for more special summons or if you are using Hero Kid, Graceful Revival. You can even use Pot of Avarice beforehand to recycle 2 of your Hero Kid for special summoning if all 3 are in your graveyard or you can choose all 3 Hero Kid if you plan on special summoning them from your deck.
  • Inferno Reckless Summon also works wonders here. Whatever monster your opponent summons will be irrelevant, as they will be destroyed when Beast King Barbaros enters the field.
