Reveal 1 Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck, and Special Summon 1 of the Fusion Materials whose name is mentioned on that monster from your Extra Deck or GY, but until the end of your opponent's turn, it cannot attack and its effects (if any) are negated. You can only activate 1 "Fusion Armament" per turn.
Fusion Armament — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Fusion Armament scores on reliable access and clean deck cost: it is in every deck in the 400-deck sample across 73 archetypes, runs at an average of 1.78 copies, and has no garnet or self-lock. Its conversion is limited by its text: it only Special Summons a Fusion Material whose name is printed on a Fusion monster the player reveals from the Extra Deck, and that body cannot attack and has its effects negated until the end of the opponent's turn. No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion score rests on text alone. High frequency and cross-archetype spread confirm it is a real, practical piece, but they do not raise the score on their own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 80 | Live in all 400 sampled decks across 73 archetypes, and it reaches a material from the Extra Deck or GY (verified from text and deck data; the 400/400 figure may reflect a sample filtered to decks containing the card). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Converts one Fusion Extra Deck monster into one negated, non-attacking material body; no combo data was supplied, so this is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Spell goes to the GY and a Fusion Material returns from the GY or Extra Deck, a roughly even exchange with recursion value and no cost (verified from text, inferred for value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The negation applies to the card's own summoned body, not to the opponent's cards, and nothing in the text removes or stops an opponent's effect (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | The summoned body is itself a Fusion Material, but it is negated and cannot attack, so its value is only as material (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Once-per-turn Spell with a single effect and no redundancy in the text; it is exposed to Spell negation and gives no multi-zone or multi-turn value (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Average 1.78 copies per deck with a 3-copy maximum, no garnet, and no lock on the deck; it is cheap to run (verified from copies per deck, inferred for the lock point). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reaches a Fusion Material from the Extra Deck or GY, so it works in a Fusion shell even without a Fusion in hand
- Cheap to run: about 1.78 copies per deck and no garnet or self-lock
- Practical across 73 archetypes, not tied to one home
- Can recur a body from the GY, which gives some recovery value
Weaknesses
- The summoned body cannot attack and its effects are negated, so it adds little board presence
- No opponent interaction: it neither removes nor stops an effect
- No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion claim cannot be measured
- Needs a Fusion monster in the Extra Deck to be useful
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation: the card is a once-per-turn Spell, so a Spell-negating effect stops it (no specific counter named in the evidence)
Best use
Fusion-material enabler and GY recursion. Decks: Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Shining Sarcophagus.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: reveal a Fusion monster, Special Summon a named Fusion Material from Extra Deck or GY, negated and cannot attack until end of opponent's turn, once per turn; 400 sampled decks run the card; 73 distinct archetypes; average 1.78 copies, max 3; Top partners: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 83%, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon 76.8%
- Observed: Gameplay type 7 accounts for 82.8% of decks (deck data); Co-occurrence with Dragon Master Magia 70.5% and Ultimate Fusion 54.8%
- Inferred: Acts as a Fusion-material enabler in a Fusion shell; Recovery value from GY recursion is roughly even on card economy; Single effect with no redundancy leaves it exposed to Spell negation
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): inclusion % inferred from deck sample only 400/400 inclusion may reflect a sample filtered to decks containing the card, so it is not a population rate
