Cannot be used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, except for the Xyz Summon of an Insect-Type monster. Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up Attack Position monster you control; change it to Defense Position, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Level 3 Insect-Type monster from your hand in Defense Position. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as Xyz Material gains this effect. ● If it is Xyz Summoned: The DEF of all face-up monsters your opponent controls become 0, also change them to Defense Position.
Digital Bug Websolder — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Digital Bug Websolder converts its body into a second Level 3 Insect from hand through a once-per-turn DEF swap, and its Xyz-summoned effect sets every opposing face-up monster to 0 DEF in Defense Position, which is real interaction when it applies. Its material restriction (usable only for Insect Xyz Summons) caps material_utility, and the 500 ATK and high stats earn no points by themselves. The card's score rests on 44 of 44 sampled decks running it at about 2.7 copies alongside the Digital Bug core, which confirms it is a reliable piece of its archetype rather than a generic staple.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Runs in 44 of 44 sampled decks at an average of 2.68 copies, but no combo or searcher evidence was supplied to confirm how often it is live in hand (observed, with inferred hand-live reach) |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The text describes a DEF swap that also Special Summons a Level 3 Insect, a one-card extension, but combo data is empty so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 40 | One body from hand is a net-neutral extension and no GY refuel or repeated card advantage is written in the text (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | The Xyz-summoned effect zeroes the DEF of all opposing face-up monsters and forces them to Defense Position, but it is conditional on an Xyz Summon (verified text, inferred strength) |
| Material Utility | 30 | Cannot be used as Xyz Material except for Insect-Type Xyz Summons, which restricts an otherwise generic body (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | A single body with one once-per-turn effect and no multi-zone or multi-turn redundancy is evident, offset by three copies in most decks (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Runs as a plain 3-copy monster with no garnet, lock or self-restriction in the supplied text, so it is cheap to run inside its archetype (verified) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Three copies sit in most decks of its archetype (44 of 44 sampled decks), so it is a dependable part of the Digital Bug line
- Once-per-turn DEF swap plus a hand Summon of a Level 3 Insect gives a body and a tempo effect in one card
- Xyz-summoned effect zeroes DEF of all opposing face-up monsters, which is a strong board effect when the Xyz Summon happens
Weaknesses
- Cannot be used as Xyz Material except for Insect-Type Xyz Summons, which narrows its material value
- Combo evidence is absent, so its real conversion rate in a live game is unmeasured
- High 500 ATK earns nothing; the score depends on the effect and the archetype line
Counters / choke points
- No counter-specific evidence supplied (no guide or deck data on which interaction it loses to)
Best use
Extender in Digital Bug Xyz lines, with the DEF-zeroing Xyz effect as the finisher. Decks: Digital Bugs (archetype 594, 11 decks), Digital Bugs (archetype 81, 7 decks). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot be used as an Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, except for an Insect-Type Xyz Summon; Once per turn: target 1 face-up Attack Position monster you control, change it to Defense Position, and Special Summon a Level 3 Insect-Type monster from hand in Defense Position if you do; Xyz-summoned: DEF of all face-up opponent monsters becomes 0 and they change to Defense Position; Runs in 44 of 44 sampled decks, average 2.68 copies, max 3
- Observed: Co-occurs with Digital Bug core (Rhinosebus, Corebage, Scaradiator) in 44 of 44 sampled decks; Present in 3 gameplay types, 59.1% of decks in gameplay type 7
- Inferred: Acts as an Extender for Digital Bug Xyz lines through the DEF swap plus hand Summon; Effect-zeroing on Xyz Summon is a conditional board breaker
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token supplied, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) supplied, so archetype inclusion % is inferred from the deck sample only activation location (hand or field) is not stated in the supplied description text
