Bubble Blaster — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 33 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 35 · Deck: 38 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Bubble Blaster is a single-target Equip Spell that only attaches to Elemental HERO Bubbleman, gives +800 ATK, and converts one battle-destruction into a self-destruct that also zeroes battle damage. It does not build a board, draw cards, or interact with the opponent beyond protecting the equipped monster in combat, so the score stays low. The 13 supporting decks and Bubbleman co-occurrence at 84.6% confirm the card is played reliably in its own lines, not that it is strong; the 800 ATK and the protection effect earned only modest points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Live only when Bubbleman is already on the field, which the 84.6% Bubbleman co-deck rate supports as a practical route (observed); no searcher or summon route is in the evidence (gap). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | The card only adds 800 ATK to one monster and no combos were supplied, so conversion is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 15 | It spends itself to prevent one battle destruction with no card advantage or refuel (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | It protects the equipped monster from battle destruction and zeroes battle damage, but offers no negation or removal against the opponent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | It is a Spell and cannot be used as material, and its effect only attaches to Bubbleman (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 20 | It has one legal target and is removed by any destruction of its own, so it is fragile (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | It is a single Spell slot with one-copy-friendly redundancy, but it is locked to one monster (verified text, observed decks). |

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Equip Spell restricted to Elemental HERO Bubbleman, +800 ATK, battle-destruction redirect with 0 battle damage (card text); Card is in 13 decks, with 84.6% co-occurrence with Bubbleman (deck stat)
- Observed: Bubbleman is the dominant partner in the deck sample (deck stat)
- Inferred: Protection effect is a niche but practical battle-safety role in Bubbleman lines; Equip-restriction limits flexibility across homes
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no searcher or summon route listed for Bubbleman or this card
