2 Level 6 monsters When this card is Xyz Summoned: You can target 1 monster in either player's Graveyard; equip that target to this card. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to half the original ATK and DEF of the monster equipped by this effect. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up card on each side of the field; send those targets to the Graveyard.
Inzektor Exa-Beetle — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Exa-Beetle earns its score from one effect: once per turn, detaching 1 Xyz Material sends one face-up card on each side of the field to the Graveyard, which is flexible removal that reaches any face-up card. Its 1000 ATK and the on-summon GY equip add little, and its own body is a poor material, so those do not raise the score. The combo and deck numbers are weak support: there are zero recorded combo boards, and every attached deck contains the card, which points to how the sample was selected rather than to how often it is played.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Rank 6 Xyz needing two Level 6 monsters, with Inzektor as its home archetype and 27 of 400 attached decks in that archetype; no combo starter or searched stats exist to confirm live-in-hand rates (verified card text, observed deck counts, inferred route quality). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | No recorded combo boards, so conversion is text-only: a body plus one removal activation per turn, with no measured board build (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Detach 1 material to remove one opposing card and one of your own face-up cards is roughly even; the GY equip reuses a monster without card advantage (verified text, inferred trade). |
| Effect & Interaction | 65 | Once-per-turn removal that hits any face-up card on either side, but it targets, costs a material, and can be answered by monster-effect negation (verified text, inferred counterplay). |
| Material Utility | 10 | As a Rank 6 Xyz it is not a Level-based material for generic Xyz or Synchro summons, so its value as material is low (verified card type, inferred material rules). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The removal is once per turn and needs a material; the 1000 ATK body remains if the effect is negated, and Effect Veiler appears as a partner in 35.5% of decks (verified deck stat, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single copy in 383 of 400 decks and no banlist token supplied, with no garnet or lock restriction in the text, but it needs Level 6 partners (verified deck copy distribution, inferred from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn removal that reaches any face-up card on either side of the field
- Rank 6 Xyz that is a single copy in nearly every attached deck
- Home archetype Inzektor, with 61 distinct archetypes in the attached decks
Weaknesses
- The effect costs a material and requires a Rank 6 Xyz already on the field
- It must target and can be stopped by monster-effect negation
- It can force a self-cost by removing one of your own face-up cards
- Its own body contributes almost nothing as material
Counters / choke points
- Monster-effect negation during the activation or the summon trigger (inferred from text; Effect Veiler is a common partner, so the deck can run it)
- Clearing the Xyz material before activation (inferred from the material cost)
Best use
Board breaker: once-per-turn both-sides removal, with a GY-equip ATK boost. Decks: Inzektor, Dark Magician, Infernity, Dogmatika. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Xyz Monster, Rank 6, DARK Insect, 1000 ATK / 1000 DEF, archetype Inzektor, 2 Level 6 monsters as material; On Xyz Summon, target 1 monster in either GY and equip it, gaining half its original ATK and DEF; Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material to target 1 face-up card on each side and send them to the GY; All 400 attached decks contain the card (383 with 1 copy, 13 with 2, 4 with 3; average 1.05); Top partner Digital Bug Rhinosebus appears in 83.2% of the attached decks
- Observed: Spread across 61 distinct archetypes (top: Dark Magician 12.8%, Infernity 11.2%, Dogmatika 9%); Gameplay split 61.8% / 36% / 2% / 0.2% across the attached decks; Zero recorded combo boards, so no starter, searched, material or payoff rates exist; usage_statistics has one row (Ally of Justice, 100%), which does not fit this card and was not used
- Inferred: Removal reach is flexible but costs a material and is vulnerable to negation during the activation; The on-summon GY equip is a body boost without card advantage; Text-only combo conversion is modest without any combo evidence
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo conversion and centrality are text-only inference All 400 attached decks contain the card, which suggests the sample was selected by card match; deck prevalence cannot be read from it The 6 guide snippets do not mention this card and its co_card_ids do not include passcode 44505297, so guide evidence is not card-specific usage_statistics lists only Ally of Justice (100%), which looks like a mismatched archetype row and was not used No banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings or interaction data for the on-summon equip against Ash Blossom and similar responses
