Weaknesses:
However, Arnis, the Empowered Warrior has two major weaknesses. The effect depends on the opponent’s actions. Some cards are able to avoid the activation of its special ability.
For instance, one of this effect’s flaws is its dependency on the opponent’s behavior. Relying on the opponent to battle this card is not a good strategy. He or she may not battle this monster. An opponent could destroy this card with a card’s effect. Therefore, the opponent avoids the activation of Arnis, the Empowered Warrior’s effect.
In addition, Arnis, the Empowered Warrior is unable to activate its effect if it is not sent to the graveyard. A monster such as Dark Magician of Chaos banishes monsters after he destroys them in battle. You would not able to activate Arnis, the Empowered Warrior’s effect if the opponent banishes it after battle.

Arnis, the Empowered Warrior is a level 4 monster, and it perfectly fits in decks with level 4 monsters. You can create rank 4 XYZ summons with Arnis, the Empowered Warrior and another level four monster. You can summon monster XYZ monsters such as Number 39: Utopia.

Card Rating:
All in all, Arnis, the Empowered Warrior is a bad monster with an avoidable effect. Monsters with dependence on the opponent’s actions are not good cards. The effect of Arnis, the Empowered Warrior is a useful took for resources when you activate it. Opponents can also avoid the activation of the effect. I do not recommend playing Arnis, the Empowered Warrior in a competitive deck.
