Armoroid — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 46 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Armoroid's score comes from its effect, a conditional on-summon banish of every Spell and Trap on the field, which is real interaction but only fires after a Roid monster is tributed. Its 2700 ATK and Level 8 body earn nothing by themselves. It is in 8 of 8 sampled decks at 3 copies across 4 archetypes, which confirms it is practically accessible, not that it is strong. No combo or guide evidence exists, so conversion and synergy are text-only inference and the confidence stays Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | 8 of 8 sampled decks run 3 copies across 4 archetypes, but no searcher or starter data exists and it needs a Roid tribute to matter (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combo boards record it, so the only conversion is the text-level sweep of Spells and Traps after a Roid tribute (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | The banish is board control with no card advantage, refuel, or recursion in the evidence (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | The text banishes all Spells and Traps on the field, hitting both sides, with no negation or hand-trap reach (verified, inferred). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 8 Machine body is usable tribute and synchro or xyz fodder, and it still converts when its effect is negated, though the evidence does not show it used that way (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A summon-triggered effect can be negated and the condition depends on a Roid monster being on hand or field, so resilience is middling (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Three copies fit cleanly in four archetypes, but the Roid-tribute condition restricts how it can be played (observed, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Restrictive tribute condition (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Banishes every Spell and Trap on the field in one effect, hitting both sides
- Level 8 Machine body works as tribute and material fodder even when its effect is negated
- Three copies fit across four archetypes with no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- Only triggers after a Roid monster is tributed, so it is dead without that tribute
- No card advantage, refuel, or recursion
- Its ATK does not count toward its score, and the 2700 body is not a threat by itself
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Tribute Summon effect
- Spell and Trap protection in response to the banish
Best use
Board breaker with a Level 8 tribute body. Decks: Machina, Speedroid, Greed, Zoodiac. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: on a Tribute Summon by tributing a roid monster, banish all Spells and Traps on the field; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks; 8 of 8 sampled decks run 3 copies
- Observed: Appears in 4 archetypes: Machina, Speedroid, Greed, Zoodiac; Top partners Pot of Avarice and Mirror Force each in 8 of 8 decks
- Inferred: The banish hits both players' Spells and Traps; Tribute condition restricts when the effect can be used; Level 8 Machine body is usable as material
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the 8-deck sample only Roid archetype membership of tribute partners not established in evidence
