Why it scores here
Fusion Devourer is a plain Level 4 Fiend body whose only effect is to set a battling Fusion Monster's ATK to 0 during the Damage Step. That is a narrow, battle-only answer to one monster type, so it earns its points on effect_interaction and cheap deckbuilding rather than on any engine or combo value. Its 1400 ATK and 1200 DEF earn nothing by themselves, and with no decks, combos or guides in the evidence the score rests on rules text alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 25 | No search, summon condition or handling route appears in the text, so it is only reachable as a generic Level 4 body (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 10 | The card does nothing beyond its battle effect and no combo evidence was supplied, so there is no measured conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No cost, draw, search or refuel text appears, so the card roughly trades even in battle (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | The effect neutralises a Fusion Monster's ATK only during the Damage Step, which is situational and narrow (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | It is a Level 4 DARK Fiend, a generic material shape, but no material usage was observed (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 20 | The effect works only while the card is on the field and battling, and a single negate before battle ends it, so there is no redundancy (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | It is a plain monster with no garnet, lock or restriction text, so it is cheap to run in any deck (verified). |
