Cyber Angel Benten — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Benten is a Level 6 LIGHT Fairy Ritual body whose value is in its tribute trigger, which adds a LIGHT Fairy from the Deck to hand, giving it a modest card-advantage line. It is live in every sampled deck (400 of 400, 60 archetypes) and appears in all 5 recorded boards, but the high average power index (92.2) comes from Drytron boards where it is a body rather than the proven driver, so that figure does not raise the score on its own. Its 1800 ATK and its battle-destroy damage earn almost nothing, and the lack of any negation or removal keeps effect_interaction low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks and 5 of 5 boards, but the Ritual Summon route depends on Machine Angel Ritual, whose access stats are not in the evidence (observed; the Ritual route is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Appears in 5 of 5 recorded boards with average power index 92.2, but starter role is only 20% and the examples carry no role tags, so its share of the conversion is unproven (observed; causal caution applied). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The tribute effect adds one LIGHT Fairy to hand, a roughly even-to-positive exchange for a tributed body; no repeated refuel is evidenced (verified from text; inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | The text has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect; the battle-destroy trigger is damage only (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 6 LIGHT Fairy body is a usable ritual material, but material role is 0% in the combo evidence, so material use is inferred rather than observed (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Easy to Ritual Summon only with the Machine Angel Ritual route; it has no multi-zone or multi-turn recovery and nothing in the evidence shows it surviving interaction (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Average 1.4 copies per deck with a 1 to 3 copy spread and no banlist token; the cost is a Ritual slot plus its Ritual spell, not a garnet or lock (observed plus inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body/Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in every sampled deck with 60 distinct archetypes, so it is accessible across homes
- Tribute trigger returns a LIGHT Fairy from the Deck, a repeatable-looking card-advantage line
- Clean Level 6 LIGHT Fairy body usable as Ritual material
Weaknesses
- No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect
- Ritual Summon depends on a separate Ritual spell (Machine Angel Ritual)
- Its effects are conditional (battle destruction or being tributed), so it does little when it is not part of a Ritual line
- High 1800 ATK earns no points
Counters / choke points
- Negation of its effects or a Ritual Summon disruption reduces it to a vanilla body (inferred)
Best use
Ritual body with tribute-search value, run as a single copy in a Ritual-based deck. Decks: Drytron, Cyber Angel, Clown Crew. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Ritual Summon via Machine Angel Ritual; battle-destroy GY damage equal to original DEF; tribute adds a LIGHT Fairy from Deck to hand; 400 of 400 decks run it, average 1.4 copies, 60 distinct archetypes; Combos: 5 of 5 appearances, starter 20%, in end hand 20%
- Observed: Usage statistics: inclusion 100% in Cyber Angel (638), 75% in Drytron (726), 71% in Drytron (555); Partners are heavily Drytron staples, including Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 67%
- Inferred: Ritual body value holds even when its effect is negated, since Level 6 LIGHT Fairy remains a material; Tribute search is roughly even-to-positive card advantage
- Data gaps: no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no evidence for Machine Angel Ritual access or its stats combo examples carry no role tags, so the driver of the 92.2 power index is unproven material role is 0%, so material use is inferred only no rulings or dated metagame sample
