Elemental HERO Voltic — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Voltic is a Level 4 LIGHT Thunder body with 1000 ATK. Its only effect triggers on battle damage to the opponent and Special Summons one banished Elemental HERO, so it converts into a recursion body only after it connects in combat. The 54-deck sample shows it is a consistent Elemental HERO staple, but the 74% Miracle Fusion co-occurrence reflects archetype density, not power, so frequency adds little beyond deck-fit. No combo evidence exists, so the 30 combo_conversion score rests on text alone, and the 1000 ATK earns nothing.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Appears as a main-deck card in 54 of the sampled decks at about 1.22 copies each, across 9 archetype labels (observed); it is a normal-summonable Level 4 body, but no starter role or searched-for role data exists (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Zero recorded combo boards; the battle-damage condition makes its conversion conditional and it builds at most one banished HERO back (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The effect is a single banished-to-field recovery of one Elemental HERO, roughly a +1 card, gated on battle damage (verified text, inferred magnitude). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the card text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 4 LIGHT Thunder HERO body that remains a usable material even if its effect is negated, since the body is the value (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A single negate shuts off the only effect, though the body survives and can still be used as material; the trigger depends on combat connecting (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One-copy average, no garnet, lock, or brick restriction; splashable as a HERO support slot (observed, deck copies distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 LIGHT Thunder body remains usable as HERO material even when its effect is negated
- Effect recovers a banished Elemental HERO, giving recursion value after combat damage
- Cheap, one-copy deck slot with broad Elemental HERO deck presence (54 decks)
Weaknesses
- Effect requires battle damage to the opponent, which is hard to reliably achieve
- 1000 ATK body with no board presence or interaction
- No recorded combo evidence showing it converting into a board
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Voltic effect (one negate removes the recursion)
- Stopping the battle that would deal damage (battle-phase interaction)
Best use
Recursion body that revives a banished HERO after battle damage; material for HERO fusion lines. Decks: Elemental HERO builds (Heroic, Elemental HERO, Destiny HERO labels in sample). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 LIGHT Thunder Effect Monster, 1000 ATK / 1500 DEF, Elemental HERO archetype (card text); Effect triggers on battle damage to opponent and Special Summons one banished Elemental HERO (card text); 54 sampled decks, 1.22 average copies, main deck only (deck data)
- Observed: Miracle Fusion co-occurs in 74.1% of sampled decks; Elemental HERO Stratos in 70.4% (deck data); Spread across 9 archetype labels, led by Heroic at 35.2% (deck data)
- Inferred: Battle-damage condition makes the effect unreliable in practice; Body remains useful as material when the effect is negated; Recursion value is roughly a +1 card when it fires
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion, inclusion inferred from deck sample only no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no starter role or searched-for role data for accessibility
