Hyper Psychic Blaster/Assault Mode — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 44 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 43.1 · Deck: 44.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card's 3500 ATK earns nothing by itself. Its value is a single large body that can only enter via 'Assault Mode Activate', which 98% of the sampled decks carry, plus a battle trigger that converts damage into lifegain and a graveyard revival of 'Hyper Psychic Blaster' when it is destroyed. The deck evidence shows the card is a consistent one-copy boss inside the Assault Mode shell, but the lack of combo records means its conversion power is text-inferred and it gets no credit for frequency alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set and needs 'Assault Mode Activate' (98.3% co-occurrence in 58 decks), so it is live only through that specific spell (verified text, observed deck stat). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text describes a battle-damage and lifegain trigger plus a graveyard revival on destruction, but there are zero recorded combo boards to confirm the conversion (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Destruction revives 'Hyper Psychic Blaster' from the graveyard for a body return, and battle grants lifegain; no card-advantage counts are available (verified text, inferred magnitude). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect; it is purely a battle-based boss (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Level 11 Earth Psychic with no material or summon-pathway evidence in the pack; utility as material is unverified (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The graveyard revival gives a second body after destruction, but it depends on one summon spell and one partner monster (verified text, observed partner stats). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Runs at one copy in 57 of 58 decks, but it needs two specific partners to function, which is a mild restriction (observed deck stat, inferred cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 43.1, Deck ≈ 44.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking summon restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Large body that stays on the field after the battle trigger resolves
- Graveyard revival of 'Hyper Psychic Blaster' after destruction gives a second body
- Consistently run in the Assault Mode shell (98% with Activate, 97% with Blaster)
Weaknesses
- Dead in hand without 'Assault Mode Activate'
- No combo records, so its real conversion rate is unverified
- No effect interaction; it cannot stop the opponent on its own
Counters / choke points
- Opponent interaction that hits the summon spell before the body arrives (inferred)
- Negation of the battle trigger or the graveyard revival (inferred from text)
Best use
Boss/End-board finisher with graveyard recursion. Decks: Assault Mode. Suggested copies: 1.
