Chimeratech Fortress Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 62 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
The card is a Fusion boss that reliably lands on the end board: it appears in all 9 recorded boards with an average power index of 100, and it sits in 97.5% of decks alongside Cyber Dragon. Its 3000+ ATK does not earn points on its own; the score comes from the summon being reachable through Cyber Dragon support and from the board it produces. It has no interaction of its own, and it cannot be used as Fusion Material, so the score is held down on effect interaction and material utility.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Extra Deck summon needs a Cyber Dragon monster plus at least one Machine, and the 400-deck sample runs it in 100% of lists with Cyber Dragon partners at 97.5%, but no searcher or extender data is supplied (observed + inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 85 | All 9 recorded boards include it, with power index 100 on the worked examples and 3-4 end monsters and 2-3 boss monsters per board (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Example boards show netCardAdvantage of 4 to 6, but that comes from the surrounding Cyber Dragon engine, not the card itself, which has no refuel or draw text (observed + inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal, or disruption text, and no combo or deck evidence shows it doing interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | Text bars it from Fusion Material use, and no evidence shows it used as Link or Xyz material (verified + speculation, not scored). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its ATK comes from its own effect, so negation drops it to base stats and removes its board value; it is summoned through a non-Fusion route, which gives some recovery across zones (verified + inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Runs at 1.15 copies on average with 344 of 400 decks at one copy, no garnet or lock text, and a single Extra Deck slot (verified + observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Boss / End-board primary; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Summoned from the Extra Deck by sending Cyber Dragon plus at least one Machine (verified from text)
- ATK is 1000 per Fusion Material, so the minimum summon already reaches 2000 (verified from text; ATK itself does not drive the score)
- Present in every recorded board with power index 100 on the worked examples (observed)
- Runs as a single copy in most lists, so it costs one Extra Deck slot (observed)
Weaknesses
- Cannot be used as Fusion Material (verified from text)
- No interaction or protection of its own (verified from text)
- Its ATK depends on its own effect, so negation leaves it with base stats (inferred)
- Needs Cyber Dragon and Machine monsters present to be summoned, so it is dead without that support (verified from text)
Counters / choke points
- Opponent negation or hand traps that stop the Fusion Summon or the Cyber Dragon starter (inferred)
- Removal of the Cyber Dragon materials before the summon resolves (inferred)
Best use
Boss / End-board finisher on the Cyber Dragon engine. Decks: Cyber Dragon (archetype 716), Cyberdark (archetype 672). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Summon condition: Cyber Dragon plus 1+ Machine monsters, sent from either field to the GY; Cannot be used as Fusion Material; Original ATK is 1000 x Fusion Materials used; Appears in 97.5% of the 400 sampled decks alongside Cyber Dragon
- Observed: Appears in all 9 recorded combos, average power index 100; Average copies per deck 1.15; 344 of 400 decks run one copy; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in several Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark archetypes
- Inferred: Negation drops the card to base stats, since its ATK depends on its own effect; Opponent interaction that removes the Cyber Dragon materials stops the summon
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) starter role, material role, payoff role and end-board appearances counts are all 0 despite 9 appearances, so combo role attribution is unreliable No searcher or extender evidence for Extra Deck access No negation or interaction evidence for the card's own text No rulings or top-card rankings supplied
