Deskbot 009 — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49.1 · Deck: 50.7 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Deskbot 009 is a 500-ATK Level 9 body whose value comes from its text: it gains ATK equal to the other Deskbots you control, attacks alone that turn, locks the opponent's responses through the Damage Step after battle, and can redirect a battle or effect destruction onto another Deskbot. It is run in all 101 sampled decks alongside the Deskbot line, which confirms it is a live, consistent piece, but the 500 base ATK and its frequency earn no points by themselves. With no combo, guide, or summon-route evidence, conversion and accessibility stay moderate and the score sits at about 50 with Medium confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Included in 101 of 101 sampled decks with near-universal co-occurrence with Deskbot 002, 003 and 005, but no starter or searched data exists, so access is inferred from deck context (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The ATK gain scales with the other Deskbots on board and the battle lock adds a follow-up window, but there are zero recorded boards to confirm what it converts into (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The text gives no card advantage, draw, search, or recursion; the destruction redirect protects the card rather than generating value (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | The Damage Step lock on the opponent's cards and effects is real but only applies when this card battles and attacks alone, so it is soft interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Level 9 Machine EARTH is noted in the card data, but no material-usage evidence exists in the combo data, so the body's material value is unconfirmed (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | The text redirects battle and effect destruction onto another Deskbot with no once-per-turn limit, which resists the common removal routes within the archetype (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Typical copies are 1 for the main Deskbots archetype and 3 for the other Deskbot archetype, with an average of 1.52 copies per deck and no garnet or lock restriction in the text (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 49.1, Deck ≈ 50.7, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Its ATK gain scales with the other Deskbots on board
- Battle and effect destruction can be redirected onto another Deskbot
- The Damage Step lock restricts the opponent's responses after it battles
- Included in every sampled Deskbot-line deck, showing consistent deck fit
Weaknesses
- Its ATK gain only counts other Deskbot monsters, so it is weak without the archetype
- Only this card can attack on the turn its effect is used
- No combo, guide, or summon-route evidence to confirm conversion
- Its value depends on the Deskbot support cards around it
Best use
Boss/End-board attacker inside Deskbot shells. Decks: Deskbots (archetype 134), Deskbots (archetype 972), Dominus, Morganite. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: once-per-turn ATK gain from other Deskbots, battle lock, and destruction redirect; Present in 101 of 101 sampled decks; Typical copies 1 (Deskbots) and 3 (Deskbot archetype) from usage statistics
- Observed: Partner co-occurrence of 98–100% with Deskbot 002, 003, 004 and 005; Inclusion of 100% in both usage-statistics archetypes
- Inferred: Boss/End-board role from the ATK-gain and battle-lock text; Accessibility depends on the Deskbot line being present in the deck; Material value is unconfirmed without combo evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no summon-route or material-usage evidence for a Level 9 body
