Evil HERO Inferno Wing — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 41 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 38 · Deck: 43 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board
Why it scores here
Inferno Wing converts a Dark Fusion summon into a 2100-ATK body with piercing damage and a burn-on-destroy, which is a finisher's job rather than a board-control one. Its access depends on Dark Fusion plus two specific Elemental HERO materials, and it has no negation, removal, or recursion, so accessibility, interaction and resource economy stay low. The 2100 ATK and the 61.7% partner frequency did not earn points: the score reflects only what the text converts, and no combo data exists to confirm conversion.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Summon requires Dark Fusion and the specific materials Avian and Burstinatrix, both appearing in about 50% of decks; no combo starter data is available (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text shows piercing and burn on battle destruction, but no combos_evidence examples exist, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No card draw, recursion or refuel; the burn damage is not card advantage and the Fusion cost is a net loss in cards (verified/inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach; the effects are damage only (verified). |
| Material Utility | 20 | Level 6 Fiend with no tuner or generic material text; material usefulness is not stated in the text and cannot be confirmed (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Single-summon route through Dark Fusion with no protection text; multi-archetype homes (27) add some redundancy (observed/inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One Extra Deck slot at about 1.23 copies per deck, no garnet or lock restriction, and a Dark Fusion dependency that most HERO decks already run (observed). |

- Burn on battle destruction scales with the destroyed monster's higher stat
- Consistent inclusion in the HERO family (Dark Fusion present in 60% of decks)
Weaknesses
- Summon restricted to Dark Fusion and specific materials
- No negation, removal or card advantage
- Damage-only effects do not affect the board state
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Dark Fusion or the Fusion Summon
- Monster effects that stop battle damage or Fusion Summons

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Summon restricted to Dark Fusion (card text); Piercing battle damage vs Defense Position (card text); Burn equal to higher of ATK or DEF of destroyed monster on battle destruction (card text); No negation, removal or recursion text (card text)
- Observed: Present in 175 decks, 1.23 copies average (decks_evidence); Dark Fusion co-occurs in 60% of decks; Polymerization 52.6% (top_partners); Gameplay type 7 in 61.7% of decks (decks_evidence)
- Inferred: Boss / End-board primary role from text and the finisher function; Accessibility rated medium because Dark Fusion and two specific materials are required; Combo conversion estimated from text, not from observed boards
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: legal copies assumed 3 (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from deck sample only legal_copies empty for all formats total deck pool size unclear: total_decks 175 appears to be the count of decks containing this card
