Lunalight Leo Dancer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 73 ± 5 · Confidence: High
- Intrinsic: 70 · Deck: 71 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Negation/Interaction, Floodgate/Control
Why it scores here
Leo Dancer wins through protective presence and tempo control, not ATK value or effect density. It appears as the consistent end-board payoff in Lunalight combos, protected from targeting and destruction while generating tempo through a once-per-turn Special Summoned board wipe. However, it requires a 3-card Fusion setup and delivers only modest disruption (power index 12 per combo), so its score reflects a reliable but specialized archetype boss, not a generalist powerhouse.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Accessible within Lunalight archetype with 97%+ co-occurrence to core cards, but requires specific Fusion materials and typical 2-starter investment (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 65 | Appears as end-board payoff in 100% of sampled combos (2 total) with average power index 12 and board score 6, showing reliable but modest combo strength (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 48 | Requires 3-card Fusion minimum with 0 net card advantage per combo sample, but once-per-turn Special Summoned board wipe provides tempo value offsetting flat card economy (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 76 | Strong targeting/destruction protection plus once-per-turn Special Summoned monster wipe, limited by battle-requirement trigger and targeting scope to Special Summons only (verified) |
| Material Utility | 58 | Solid 3500 ATK Level-10 body, but never used as material or name-provider post-summon; functions purely as end-board presence (observed) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 80 | Exceptional protection against opponent targeting and destruction with multi-turn field presence, but remains vulnerable to battle removal and banishing effects (verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | Typical 2-copy inclusion in dedicated Lunalight archetype with no restrictions; splashable across 28 archetypes though 74% deck concentration in Lunalight family (verified) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Negation/Interaction. Intrinsic ≈ 70, Deck ≈ 71, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: splashability_bonus (2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Untargetable and indestructible by opponent effects, providing strong board protection
- Double attack per Battle Phase enables aggressive pressure and potential double-trigger of board wipe
- Once-per-turn Special Summoned board wipe generates significant tempo advantage when attacking monsters
- Consistent payoff in Lunalight combos with high co-occurrence (97%+) with archetype core cards
- Runs cleanly at 2 copies per deck with no deck-building restrictions or garnet issues
Weaknesses
- Requires 3-card Fusion minimum (Panther Dancer + 2 Lunalights), creating high setup cost
- Average combo power index of 12 is modest for a boss monster, suggesting limited end-board disruption outside board wipe
- Once-per-turn board wipe severely limits removal capacity; only triggers if it attacks a monster
- Vulnerable to battle removal, banishing effects, and cost-based destruction despite strong protection
- Highly concentrated in Lunalight home (74% of sampled decks), limiting true splashability outside archetype variants
Counters / choke points
- Kaiju-type effects and cards like Daruma Cannon that bypass targeting/destruction protection
- Battle removal and damage-based removal, not protected by the card's effect immunities
- Banishing effects and field wipes that don't rely on targeting or destruction
- Preemptive removal of Lunalight Panther Dancer or other Fusion materials before summoning
Best use
End-board boss monster and board controller via once-per-turn Special Summoned wipe. Decks: Lunalight (pure), Lunalight (Fire Formation variant), Lunalight (Tri-Brigade hybrid). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Requires Lunalight Panther Dancer + 2 Lunalight monsters for Fusion Summon (text); Cannot be targeted or destroyed by opponent card effects (text); Can make second attack during each Battle Phase (text); Once per turn, destroys all Special Summoned opponent monsters if this card attacked a monster (text); 3500 ATK, 3000 DEF, Level 10, DARK Beast-Warrior type (text); 400 decks run this card with 100% main-deck inclusion (deck evidence); Average 2.08 copies per deck with 312 decks running exactly 2 copies (deck evidence); Appears in 2 combo samples as end-board payoff only (combo evidence); 97%+ co-occurrence with Lunalight core cards (Kaleido Chick, Yellow Marten, Black Sheep) (deck evidence); Not ranked in top-card context across any format (verified)
- Observed: Average power index of 12 in sampled combos (from 2 boards with power index: 12); Appears in 100% of provided combo samples but only in end-board role (combo evidence); Average board score 6 per combo where present (combo evidence); Typical 2-copy inclusion across distinct Lunalight archetypes (deck evidence); 28 distinct archetypes include this card across gameplay types (deck evidence)
- Inferred: Acts as primary payoff/finisher for Lunalight combo chains based on 0% appearance as starter/searched/material and 100% as end-board; Requires 2-starter average investment based on combo sample average starter count when present: 2; Board wipe generates tempo advantage through once-per-turn Special Summoned destruction despite 0 net card advantage; Splashability is moderate: 28 archetypes use it, but 74% concentration in Lunalight family suggests most are Lunalight variants
- Data gaps: Only 2 combo samples provided, limiting reliability of power index and role distribution (use Medium confidence if only 2 combos) No banlist information; assumed 3-copy unlimited based on data gaps note No tournament ranking or win-rate context (top-card data empty) 28 distinct archetypes claimed, but no breakdown of how many are Lunalight variants vs truly distinct homes
