• This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Chaos-End Master", "Last Will", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Shining Angel", "UFOroid", and "Damage Condenser".

• Use stalling cards such as "Swords of Revealing Light", "Nightmare's Steelcage", "Spirit Barrier", etc. to allow time to pass without having your Satellite hit by an attack. When your Satellite is ready, destroy your opponent's monsters via card effects or other attacking monsters and have it attack for the final blow.

• When the time is opportune for your Satellite to attack, but you're afraid of Spells and Traps, first activate "Cold Wave".

• "Satellite Cannon" is also a good way to bypass "Wall of Revealing Light".

• Take advantage of the fact that "Satellite Cannon" has low ATK while in the Deck, Graveyard. and while you're waiting for it to pump itself up. "Shining Angel" and "UFOroid" can Special Summon it, and "Machine Duplication" and "Inferno Reckless Summon" allow you to triple your attacking force.

• Best used with "Heavy Storm" or "Royal Decree" to prevent the use of Trap Cards like "Magic Cylinder" when its ATK is very high.

• Use "Limiter Removal" to make the ATK increase faster.

• When using "Gravity Bind", all monsters level 4 or higher cannot attack, and since Satellite Cannon can only be destroyed by a monster of level 7 or higher, it is effectively invincible in battle. Once it is sufficiently charged, you can destroy or negate Gravity Bind using cards such "Emergency Provisions", "Royal Decree", or "Giant Trunade", allowing Satellite Cannon" to attack. Even better, you could equip "Satellite Cannon" with "Demotion" to let it attack without letting your opponent's monsters do so.

• To make Satellite Cannon's attacks more effective, equip it with "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal", as it can regain the lost ATK in a single turn.

• As this card cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster of level 7 or lower, you can use this as a suicide weapon to take out strong monsters with an ATK of a multiple of 1000.

• Unconventionally, since "Satellite Cannon's" effect doesn't say its DEF will drop, have it build up attack power then switch it to defense mode and activate "Weapon Change" or "Shield & Sword". Combine with "Staunch Defender" and "Continuous Destruction Punch" for best results.

• When your opponent attacks, activate "Staunch Defender" or "Patrician of Darkness" and also activate "Fairy Box". Since your Satellite isn't attacking, your opponent may lose many monsters and life points to a single Level 5 monster in a single turn- and it will still have its charged attack power.

• Have a "Honest" in your hand for emergency (e.g. your opponent have a monster which is Level 8 or above and have a attack higher than "Satellite Cannon").

• Destroy a monster with "Chaos-End Master", then Special Summon "Satellite Cannon". Use "Machine Duplication" to fetch 2 more copies of your monster, and let them power up on your End Phase. You'll accumulate a lot of ATK points very quickly this way, maybe enough for an OTK.
