Frightfur Leo — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Frightfur Leo is a Fusion-only, once-per-turn removal effect: it destroys one face-up opposing monster and deals damage equal to that monster's original ATK. Its score comes from that one-for-one interaction plus the damage, which can be large against high-ATK targets. It is a Fusion monster that needs Edge Imp Saw and a Fluffal monster, so it depends on Fusion access, and it has no evidenced card advantage or material value. Its 2400 ATK and 101-deck presence earned no points on their own; the frequency only confirms that the card is consistently played.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Fusion Summon from Edge Imp Saw plus a Fluffal monster; 101 of 101 sampled decks run it and top partners include Polymerization (83%), so the route is live but gated by Fusion access (observed + inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The text converts one destroy plus damage into a single effect, but no combo boards were supplied, so the conversion rating rests on text alone (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Card-for-card removal with no draw, search or refuel, and the Fusion summon itself spends extra cards, so there is no net advantage in the text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Targets any face-up opposing monster and deals damage, but the once-per-turn limit and the lack of negation keep it from being a flexible interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 20 | Fusion monsters are not normally used as material, and nothing in the evidence shows a material role, so the body scores low (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once per turn, with no protection from the activation, and it cannot attack directly on the activation turn; one negate ends it (verified + inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single-copy in 93 of 101 decks, with no garnet or lock, but it needs a Fusion slot and specific materials (observed + verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Fusion-summon restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- One-card removal plus damage equal to the target's original ATK
- Live in 101 sampled decks across three families (Fluffal, Frightfur, Edge Imp)
- Single copy per deck, so no garnet or brick cost
Weaknesses
- Fusion-only, so it depends on Polymerization or another Fusion route
- Once per turn and cannot attack directly on the turn it is used
- No card advantage, and the Fusion summon costs extra cards
- Weak as material because it is a Fusion monster
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Fusion Summon or the effect (inferred from text)
- Hand traps that stop the Fusion route before the materials are used
Best use
Fusion removal finisher that clears a blocker and adds damage. Decks: Frightfur, Fluffal, Edge Imp. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-turn destroy of one face-up opposing monster, with damage equal to its original ATK; Fusion-only summon; no direct attack on the activation turn; Single copy in 93 of 101 decks
- Observed: 101 of 101 sampled decks run the card; Top partner co-occurrence with Polymerization (83%)
- Inferred: Material value is low because Fusion monsters are not normally used as material; Negation of the Fusion route is the main answer
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from the 101-deck sample only
