When approval is implemented such that it isn't possible to rank some candidate X over an approved candidate Y without also approving candidate X, Condorcet//Approval and similar methods have good burial resistance.

Honest votes:
{| class="wikitable"
!#voters
!Their vote
|-
|6
|A>C>B>D
|-
|2
|B>C>A>D
|-
|3
|B>A>C>D
|-
|2
|C>D>A>B
|-
|2
|C>B>A>D
|-
|5
|D>C>A>B
|-
|1
|D>A>C>B
|}
The Condorcet winner is C.

Strategic votes:
{| class="wikitable"
!#voters
!Their vote
|-
|6
|'''A>B>D>C'''
|-
|2
|B>C>A>D
|-
|3
|B>A>C>D
|-
|2
|C>D>A>B
|-
|2
|C>B>A>D
|-
|5
|D>C>A>B
|-
|1
|D>A>C>B
|}
The A-top voters' strategy would make A win in most Condorcet methods, but supposing every voter sets their approval threshold between C and A, C still wins in both Condorcet//Approval and Smith//Approval.

In this sense, Condorcet-cardinal hybrids can use cardinal information to allow voters to focus on the pairwise matchups most important to them, which are usually the ones between the frontrunners.
