Why it scores here
Assault Overload is a Quick-Play Spell that only works after you tribute an Assault Mode monster, and then deals damage equal to that monster's Level x 200 to both players. It is a symmetric finisher: it helps only when you are ahead on life points, and the evidence shows no board-building or card advantage. The score is driven by the narrow tribute gate, the absence of combo evidence, and the zero-to-low card advantage; its one real credit is a clean single-slot cost. High ATK or popularity earned nothing here, and the three sample decks show it as a theme-core support card rather than a standalone engine.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Needs a face-up Assault Mode monster to tribute and no searcher appears in the evidence; it is live only when the theme is already on the field (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No recorded combo boards (0 appearances) and the text only deals damage, so there is no board conversion to observe (verified). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | Spends itself and a tributed monster with no draw, search or recursion in the text, so there is no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text has no negation, removal or hand-trap reach, so there is no opponent interaction to score (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | As a Spell it cannot be used as Xyz, Synchro or Link material, and the text provides no material value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Quick-Play lets it respond on the opponent's turn, but it depends on an Assault Mode monster staying on the field; the evidence gives no redundancy (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | One slot with no garnet or lock; the only restriction is the Assault Mode monster requirement, which is a mild constraint (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default); no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 28, Deck ≈ 32, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths

Weaknesses
- Needs an Assault Mode monster on the field to tribute

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-Play Spell; tribute 1 Assault Mode monster as cost; Inflicts damage to both players equal to the tributed monster's Level x 200; Sample decks: 3 total, 1 copy in 2 decks and 3 copies in 1 deck, 0 in side; Top partners Assault Mode Zero and Assault Mode Activate each appear in 2 of 3 decks
- Observed: Appears in 3 distinct archetypes, with 1 of 3 decks in Assault Mode; Zero combo appearances in recorded boards
- Inferred: Functions as a finisher only when the controller is ahead on life points; Works best in Assault Mode shells because the tribute gate is theme-locked
- Data gaps: Level of Assault Mode monsters is not in evidence, so the damage per use is not quantified No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from a 3-deck sample only No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No Top-Card ranking data for this card
