Fortissimo — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Fortissimo converts the Melodious engine into a Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck by sending itself to the Graveyard, and its +800 ATK buff on a Melodious monster persists even if it leaves the field. Its score comes from that conversion, its cheap slot cost, and its presence in all 26 sampled decks alongside the core Melodious partners. The card's ATK boost and Spell typing earn almost nothing on the material axis, and there is no combo or guide evidence to show how far the Fusion line goes in practice.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Main-deck Continuous Spell running 2.04 copies on average in 26 of 26 decks, but no searcher or combo-start data is supplied to confirm how reliably it is drawn (observed deck count; inferred access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Text gives one Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck using monsters you control, a real body gain, but no combo boards show its typical end-state (verified text; no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Costs itself to the Graveyard and returns one Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck, roughly even card economy with a temporary ATK buff and no recursion (verified text; inferred balance). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 8 | A Spell card, so it is never Fusion material and the score can only come from the buff; the Fusion monster it produces is a separate card (verified text; inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The ATK buff outlasts the card leaving the field, but the card's own Graveyard effect is not stated to be usable from hand, so its route is unclear (verified text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Three copies at most, no garnet, lock, or splash cost, and it co-occurs with the core Melodious partners in every sampled deck (observed deck stats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck that uses the Melodious monsters already on the field
- The +800 ATK buff keeps working after the card leaves the field
- Runs in every sampled deck with the core Melodious partners at high co-occurrence
- Cheap slot cost with no garnet or lock requirement
Weaknesses
- Restricted to Melodious monsters, so it has no value outside that archetype
- No combo, searcher, or guide evidence to confirm how often it is the starter
- Its material value is negligible because it is a Spell
- Little interaction: no negation, removal, or disruption
Counters / choke points
- No specific counters are named in the supplied evidence; generic Spell removal and monster-effect negation would stop the Fusion line
Best use
Combo enabler: converts the Melodious board into a Fusion Summon and extends ATK. Decks: Melodious (archetype 817), Melodious (archetype 1407). Suggested copies: 2.
