Effects:

Six Strike – Double Assault has conditions for its first and second effects. You may activate either the first effect or the second effect of this card. In addition, you may activate the first and second effects if you have two monsters with Six Samurai in their names on the field.

Furthermore, the best strategy is having two monsters with Six Samurai in their names on the field. The archetype has many options for this strategy. Legendary Six Samurai – Kageki special summons a Six Samurai from your hand. Therefore, your field has two monsters with Six Samurai in their names. Six Strike – Double Assault may activate the first and second effects.

First Effect:

Six Strike – Double Assault special summons one Six Samurai from the hand or graveyard with 2,000 or less ATK.  Your field gain a new monster. Many cards in the archetype meet the requirements for this effect.

Furthermore, Six Strike – Double Assault is a useful spell because it sets up special summons for Six Samurai. You may play the best monster for a fusion summon, link summon, synchro summon, or xyz summon. Your field will have the proper materials. 

For instance, Secret Six Samurai – Rihan requires contact fusion with three monsters with Six Samurai with different attributes on the field. Six Strike – Double Assault may special summon the third Six Samurai for the third attribute. You will have the materials for the fusion summon on the field. Then, you may play Secret Six Samurai – Rihan from the extra deck.

Second Effect:

Six Strike – Double Assault changes an opponent’s monster with 2,000 or less ATK to face down defense position. This spell counters the opponent’s strategy. The opponent is unable to change their monster’s position until his or her next turn.

Furthermore, Six Strike – Double Assault can put a monster with a high ATK and low DEF in a bad position. You have an opportunity to destroy the monster. It prevents  the opponent’s card from the activation of its effects.

In addition, Six Strike – Double Assault is a quick-play spell card. Therefore, you may activate this card during the opponent’s turn. This spell prevents the activation of that monster’s effects and its ability to attack you.

Third Effect:

You may banish Six Strike – Double Assault and add one Six Samurai from the graveyard to the hand. This spell allows you to regain an important monster. You are in a position to create a strong combo with the right set of cards.

Furthermore, Six Strike – Double Assault is a great option when you need a Six Samurai in the hand. You can easily recover your position in the duel. You may need a specific monster for your strategy, and this effect obtains it from the graveyard.

In addition, Six Strike – Double Assault activates the third effect from the graveyard. Most cards cannot prevent the activation of effects from the graveyard. This card gains additional value because you are activating this card after you have used it for its first or second effect.

Support:

Tactical Trainer of the Six Samurai may add Six Strike – Double Assault from the deck to your hand when you send him to the grave. This effect monster provides consistent access to this spell. You will send Tactical Trainer of the Six Samurai to the graveyard because he is a tuner monster for synchro summons.
