Elemental HERO Absolute Zero — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Removal/Negation
Why it scores here
Absolute Zero converts a Fusion Summon into a large board: it gains 500 ATK per WATER monster on the field, and when it leaves the field it destroys every monster the opponent controls. Its score comes from that board-wipe trigger and from being live in 400 recent decks through Fusion routes (Stratos, Miracle Fusion, Polymerization). The 2500 ATK earns nothing on its own. The combo evidence is a single board, with no starter or payoff tagging, so the score stays in the mid-band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | 400 of 400 decks run it and top partners are live Fusion enablers, but it is never tagged as a starter or searched card in the single combo (inference from text and deck partners, observed as 0 starter appearances; observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | The leave-field trigger wipes the opposing board from one Fusion, and the single combo example has power index 38 with no payoff tag (inference from text; observed for the index). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | The wipe is a one-for-many, but the card must leave the field to trigger it and nothing returns card advantage to you (inference from text; netCardAdvantage 0 in the example). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Destroying all opposing monsters is strong board interaction, but it only fires after the card leaves the field, so it is conditional (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | It is a Fusion monster with no generic material role, and material role is 0 of 1 appearances (observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its Fusion Summon can be negated and its wipe depends on leaving the field, so it is a single-zone threat (inference from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A single-archetype HERO card with 1.36 average copies, typical copies of 3 in Elemental HERO and no garnet or lock; the no-banlist assumption applies (observed from decks and usage statistics). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Boss/End-board primary role, no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Leave-field trigger destroys all opposing monsters from a single Fusion Summon
- Gains ATK per WATER monster, so the ATK scales with the board
- Live in 400 recent decks through Stratos, Miracle Fusion and Polymerization routes
Weaknesses
- Board wipe only fires after the card leaves the field, so it is conditional
- Combo evidence is a single board with no starter or payoff tagging
- Requires a HERO monster and a WATER monster to Fusion Summon
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Fusion Summon stops the card before it reaches the field
- Removing the card so the leave-field trigger is the opponent's choice, not yours, is a risk to plan around
Best use
Boss/End-board finisher that wipes the opposing field when it leaves. Decks: Heroic, Elemental Hero. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Fusion Summon requirement, ATK gain per WATER monster, and destroy-all trigger on leaving the field; Elemental HERO archetype with 400 of 400 decks running it, 64.5% in Heroic
- Observed: Top partners Stratos 95.2%, Miracle Fusion 88.8%, Polymerization 75%; Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in Elemental HERO (Master Duel gameplay 6) at typical copies 3
- Inferred: Board-wipe trigger is a strong interaction when the card leaves the field; Strong combo value rests on the leave-field trigger, not on the ATK gain
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Only one combo recorded, with no starter or payoff tagging Legal copies per format are empty No dated metagame sample supplied (meta power null)
