Why it scores here
Colossal Fighter is a Level 8 Synchro body whose main value is a conditional recursion: when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, it Special Summons a Warrior from either Graveyard, a one-for-one replacement of a lost body. Its 2800 ATK and the Warrior-count ATK gain earn nothing on their own, and the score rests on the Synchro access route and the battle-destruction recursion. Combo evidence is absent, so the conversion and resource scores are text-based inference, and the 400-of-400 deck inclusion reflects how the sample was drawn rather than extra strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Synchro Summon needs a Tuner plus a non-Tuner on the field, and the deck sample shows it run in nearly every list alongside common partners, but no searcher or combo starter data is supplied (inferred from text and decks_evidence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | The text gives a body plus a Warrior revival on battle destruction, a modest one-card extension; no combos_evidence boards exist to confirm the typical result (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The revival returns one Warrior from either Graveyard after a battle loss, a roughly even exchange that recovers a body but does not generate card advantage (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap interaction; its only effect is the battle-destruction revival (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | As a Synchro monster it is not a generic Synchro material and its material use is not evidenced; the Level 8 body helps only in narrow summoning lines (inferred; no as_material data). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The revival fires only on destruction by battle, so card-effect destruction or negation stops it, and the 2800-ATK body is only moderately durable (verified from card text, inferred impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | It is a one-copy Extra Deck slot in 387 of 400 sampled decks (avg 1.04 copies) with no garnet or lock restriction in the text (observed from decks_evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- 2800 base ATK Level 8 Synchro body (verified)
- Battle-destruction Special Summon of a Warrior from either Graveyard recovers a body (verified from text)
- Single-copy slot run in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 1.04 average copies (observed)
- Synchro-deck partners such as Stardust Dragon and Black Rose Dragon co-occur in most sampled decks (observed)
Weaknesses
- Recursion requires destruction by battle; card-effect destruction does not trigger it (verified from text)
- Needs a Tuner and a non-Tuner on the field to Synchro Summon (verified from text)
- No combo, starter, or searcher evidence, so conversion is unmeasured (data gap)
- Its 2800 ATK earns no score; the value is in the revival and access route
Counters / choke points
- Destruction by card effect instead of battle, which bypasses the revival (inferred from text)
- Negating its effect, which stops the Graveyard revival (inferred from text)
Best use
Synchro end-board body with battle-destruction Warrior recursion. Decks: Blackwings, Lightsworn, Frog. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Synchro Monster, Level 8, DARK Warrior, ATK 2800, DEF 1000 (card); Synchro Summon requires 1 Tuner plus 1 or more non-Tuner monsters (card text); Gains 100 ATK per Warrior-Type monster in any Graveyard (card text); Battle-destruction Graveyard trigger Special Summons a targeted Warrior from either Graveyard (card text)
- Observed: Included in 400 of 400 sampled decks, average 1.04 copies (decks_evidence); 63 distinct archetypes, led by Blackwings at 15.8% (decks_evidence); Top partners co-occur in 67–97% of sampled decks (decks_evidence); usage_statistics: Elemental HERO 100% and Frog 50% inclusion, small sample (usage_statistics)
- Inferred: Recursion is one-for-one and does not generate card advantage (text); Negating the effect stops the Graveyard revival (rules inference); The 400-of-400 inclusion is a result of sample selection, so it is not evidence of strength (sample construction)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and starter/material shares are unmeasured no guides supplied decks_evidence sample was drawn from decks containing this card, so 100% inclusion is by construction no banlist token supplied; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no gameplay_type legend supplied for ids 4, 6 and 7
