Elemental HERO Steam Healer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Steam Healer is a Fusion-only 1800-ATK body. Its only effect is to gain Life Points equal to the ATK of a monster it destroys in battle, so it converts little beyond its own body and a small life gain. Its 154-deck presence (single copy, 24 archetypes, 100% main deck) confirms it is a dependable, cheap staple, which earns the deckbuilding and deck-resilience points, but it does not lift the score much because guardrail 3 applies: frequency is not power. The 1800 ATK earns nothing by itself.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Fusion-only, so it needs a Fusion Summon and materials; it appears in 154 decks with top partners such as Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave, but no combo boards confirm starter or searched use (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Text shows one body plus a battle-destruction life gain, with no board-building or extender clause, and combos_evidence has 0 boards (verified text; inferred conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | The only resource effect is life gain on battle destruction, not card advantage or refuel, and no netCardAdvantage data exists (verified text; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | No negation, removal or hand trap; the battle-destruction life gain is not interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 5 WATER Warrior fusion body with no stated material-restriction clause, but no combo data confirms how it is used as material or how it behaves when its effect is negated (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Carried by 24 archetypes across 2 gameplay types, which suggests varied homes, but there is no interaction or survival data and the body is vulnerable to a single battle or negate (observed deck spread; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single copy in 152 of 154 decks, no garnet or lock clause, and cheap to run (observed deck stat; verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary; no secondary blend applied (Utility is noted only). Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Consistently run as a single copy across 154 decks and 24 archetypes (observed)

Weaknesses
- Only effect is a battle-destruction life gain, with no card advantage or interaction (verified)
- No combo evidence confirms a starter, searcher or payoff role (data gap)

Counters / choke points
- Negation or removal of the body before or during battle (inferred)
Best use

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Fusion Summon requirement and battle-destruction life gain text; Single-copy deck usage (152 of 154 decks)
- Observed: 154 decks across 24 archetypes and 2 gameplay types; Top partners include Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave
- Inferred: Material utility for a Level 5 WATER Warrior body; Vulnerability to single negation or removal
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
