Frightfur Kraken — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55.4 · Deck: 59.7 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker / Going-second
Why it scores here
Frightfur Kraken converts its Fusion summon into a once-per-turn targeted removal of an opposing monster plus a second attack each Battle Phase, which is the core of its score. Its 2200 ATK and 3000 DEF earned no points, and the Level 8 Fusion body is a weak material, so those stats were not counted. Its 100% main-deck inclusion across 400 decks and its 98.5% co-occurrence with Polymerization confirm that its summon route is reliable and that it is played across three archetype homes, but that frequency is treated as accessibility evidence rather than as proof of intrinsic power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Fusion summon from Edge Imp and Fluffal materials, with Polymerization in 98.5% of the sampled decks and the card in 400/400 main decks (observed; route inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text shows a removal effect and a second attack that convert one summon into board pressure, but no recorded combo boards exist to confirm a realistic start (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No refuel, draw, or recursion in the text; the body is a 2-for-1 cost of the Fusion summon with no return (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Once-per-turn, targeted send-to-Graveyard of one opposing monster, plus a no-direct-attack restriction on the activation turn; flexible but limited to monsters (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 20 | A Level 8 Fusion monster is a poor generic material, and its effect is a removal rather than a material-conversion effect (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The removal is once per turn and the card is an extra-deck body, so a single effect negation removes its main interaction; no ruling or counter evidence was supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One extra-deck slot with a typical 1 copy (usage statistics) and no garnet or lock restriction, though it depends on Edge Imp and Fluffal materials (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Board breaker / Going-second only; no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 55.4, Deck ≈ 59.7, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn targeted removal of an opposing monster (verified from text)
- Second attack each Battle Phase converts a board lead into pressure (verified from text)
- Played in 400 of 400 sampled decks as a main-deck card across three archetype homes (observed)
Weaknesses
- Requires a Fusion summon with Edge Imp and Fluffal materials, so it depends on the summon route (inferred)
- No recorded combos or guides to confirm realistic conversion (observed gap)
- Removal is monster-only and once per turn, and the body has no card advantage (verified from text)
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation of its once-per-turn removal would leave a 2200-ATK body with a double attack (inferred)
- Board wipes or monster-removal interaction in the opponent's hand (inferred)
Best use
Board breaker / second attacker. Decks: Fluffal, Edge Imp, Frightfur. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-turn targeted send-to-Graveyard effect and no-direct-attack restriction (card text); Second attack each Battle Phase and optional change to Defense Position (card text); Fusion requirement: 1 Edge Imp monster + 1 Fluffal monster (card text)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 100% main-deck, average 1.23 copies (decks_evidence); Polymerization co-appears in 98.5% of decks (decks_evidence.top_partners); Typical copies 1 across three archetype usage rows, 100% inclusion (usage_statistics)
- Inferred: Removal value and board conversion are reliable once the summon is made; Negation of the single once-per-turn effect would leave a sizeable but mostly vanilla body; Summon route is reliable given Polymerization co-occurrence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no ruling or counter-interaction evidence supplied no dated metagame sample: meta_power unknown no starter-count data: DeckResilience based on archetype spread only
