Why it scores here
Bitrooper is a 1500-ATK Level 4 Cyberse whose value is a hand-only Special Summon gated by sending a Level 2 or lower monster from hand to the GY. Its score comes from being a live hand body that fits Cyberse and Code Talker shells (19 sampled decks, 10 archetypes, consistent Decode Talker and Transcode Talker partners) and a Level 4 non-Tuner body that converts into Link and Xyz material. Its 1500 ATK earns nothing on its own, and the score stays moderate because the card converts into little beyond a single body and there is no combo evidence to show it doing more.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Hand-only summon that needs a Level 2 or lower monster in hand as the cost, and it appears in 19 sampled decks across 10 archetypes (verified text and deck stats; the frequency of Level 2 fodder in hand is inferred). (inferred) |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Its text produces one 1500-ATK body from the hand with no further follow-up, and there are zero recorded combo boards to show a larger conversion (verified text; no combo data). (verified) |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Sends one card from hand to the GY as its cost and then summons itself, which is roughly card-neutral, with a small GY-fodder benefit for Level 2 or lower monsters (verified text; the GY benefit is inferred). (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | Provides no negation, removal, or disruption to the opponent (verified from text). (verified) |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 4 Cyberse non-Tuner with EARTH attribute is generic material for Link and Xyz summons and stays a body even if its effect is negated (verified stats; the material use is inferred). (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A single once-per-turn hand summon that one negation ends, with no multi-zone or multi-turn redundancy shown (verified text; the negation risk is inferred). (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Usually run as one copy (13 of 19 decks), with a mild requirement for Level 2 fodder in hand and no garnet-like lock (verified deck stats; the fodder requirement is inferred). (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-only Special Summon with a cheap Level 2-or-lower GY-send cost, so it is live from the opening hand when fodder is present
- Generic Level 4 Cyberse non-Tuner body that feeds Link and Xyz summons
- Sampled deck use spans 10 archetypes, led by Code Talker, which shows the card is portable across homes
- Consistent partner pairing with Decode Talker (73.7% of sampled decks) and Transcode Talker (63.2%)
Weaknesses
- Adds little beyond one 1500-ATK body; no recorded combo boards show it converting into a larger board
- No opponent interaction, so it contributes nothing to negation or removal
- Requires a Level 2 or lower monster in hand as the cost, which can leave it dead when the hand has none
- Once-per-turn restriction and a single-negation vulnerability limit its resilience
Counters / choke points
- Generic hand-based negation or hand-trap on the Special Summon (inferred from text; no counter evidence supplied)
Best use
Hand-summoned Level 4 body that enables Link and Xyz material and fills the board from hand, mainly within Cyberse-based shells. Decks: Code Talker, Cyberse, Mayakashi Shiranui, G Golem. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: hand-only Special Summon with a Level 2-or-lower GY-send cost, once per turn; 19 sampled decks, 10 archetypes, 1 copy in 13 of 19 decks; Top partners Decode Talker 73.7%, Transcode Talker 63.2%
- Observed: Deck-sample gameplay split: 68.4% gameplay type 4, 31.6% gameplay type 7
- Inferred: Live-in-hand rate depends on Level 2 or lower fodder being present; Material conversion as a Level 4 non-Tuner into Link and Xyz; Single-negation vulnerability
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion % is inferred from the 19-deck sample only no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings or counter-card evidence supplied
