- Use "Treeborn Frog" to constantly give this card more ATK each turn.
- Another idea would be to use "Fishborg Launcher" in combination with "Imperial Iron Wall" or "Necrovalley".
- To further boost this card's ATK, Summon "Deep Sea Diva" and then bring out "Spined Gillman". After you Tribute "Diva" for this card's effect, "Piercing Moray" will have 2500 ATK. This makes it strong enough to take out monsters like "Thunder Unicorn", "XX-Saber Faultroll", etc. Otherwise, you can attack a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle, like "Spirit Reaper" or "Marshmallon" and inflict massive Piercing damage.
- Special Summon "Aqua Spirit" or "Fenrir" after you Normal Summon this card for a monster to Tribute for its effect.
- Special Summon "Shark Stickers" after Normal Summoning this card, and then tribute it for an immediate ATK boost.
