Batteryman Charger — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender
Why it scores here
Batteryman Charger's text converts one Normal Summon into a second body by Special Summoning a Batteryman from hand or Deck, which is a real extension rather than a dead body. It is played in 38 recent decks, mostly Batteryman (52.6%), and it has 100% inclusion in the Batteryman StatisticsCard sample at 3 copies, so it is reliably accessible inside its home. The 1800 ATK and the Thunder-count ATK gain earn nothing on their own, and the card has no interaction, its summon is easy to negate, and there is no combo data to confirm how far it converts. Score is held to the Extender profile with no secondary blend, and the deck score is limited by the Batteryman-only text.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | A Level 5 Normal Summonable body reached through a Batteryman-dense deck, with 2.53 average copies in 38 decks (observed; the text's hand/Deck Special Summon is verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The Normal Summon into a deck-sourced Batteryman is two bodies from one card, but there are no recorded combo boards to confirm the extension (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Summoning a Batteryman from the Deck without spending a card is a net +1 body with no card cost (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach, so it provides almost no opponent interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 5 LIGHT Thunder body is usable as material with a Thunder-count ATK gain, but its material fit is awkward and unconfirmed by combo data (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect is a single Normal Summon trigger that one negate shuts off, and it has no multi-zone or multi-turn value (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Three copies in a Batteryman-core deck with no garnet or lock, but it needs the Batteryman package to function (observed; restriction inferred from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender profile only; no secondary role blend. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Normal Summon triggers a deck-sourced Batteryman, so it adds a second body from one card
- Played in 38 recent decks and 100% inclusion at 3 copies in the Batteryman StatisticsCard sample
- Strong deck fit with Batteryman Micro-Cell and Battery Charger (76% co-occurrence each)
Weaknesses
- No combo data, so conversion depth is text-only inference
- Its summon is a single trigger that one negate stops
- Does nothing outside a Batteryman deck; ATK gain is minor
- No opponent interaction
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Normal Summon or the Special Summon trigger
- Board-wide negation or removal before the Special Summon resolves
Best use
Extender / body-adding Normal Summon enabler. Decks: Batteryman. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Summon trigger Special Summons one Batteryman from hand or Deck (card text); Gains 300 ATK/DEF per Thunder monster controlled (card text); Level 5 LIGHT Thunder Effect Monster, 1800/1200 (card data)
- Observed: Appears in 38 decks, 52.6% Batteryman, 2.53 average copies (deck data); 100% inclusion at 3 typical copies in the Batteryman StatisticsCard sample (usage statistics); Top partners Batteryman Micro-Cell and Battery Charger at 76.3% co-occurrence (deck data)
- Inferred: Primary role is Extender because the effect adds a second body from the Deck; Board extension is realistic only inside a Batteryman deck
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no dated metagame sample; Meta is null
