If this card would be used for the Link Summon of a "Borrel" monster, you can treat this card as a Dragon. You can only use each of the following effects of "Rokket Coder" once per turn. If a Cyberse monster you control would be used as Link Material for a "Code Talker" monster, this card in your hand can also be used as material. If this card you control would be used as Link Material for a "Borrel" monster, 1 DARK monster in your hand can also be used as material.
Rokket Coder — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Rokket Coder is a Level 4 DARK Cyberse body whose value is as link material: its text lets it be treated as a Dragon for a Borrel Link Summon, lets a Cyberse monster you control be used for Code Talker with this card usable from hand, and lets a DARK monster in hand be added as material when it is used for Borrel. Its 1700 ATK earns nothing; the score comes from the material conversion and the cheap, 1-to-2 copy slot. With no combo, searcher or guide evidence, the combo and resource axes are text-only inference and stay low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | No searcher or hand-add effect in the text, but it appears in 175 decks across 37 archetypes at 1.51 average copies, so it is live in its homes (observed, with the text-only route inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text converts a Borrel or Code Talker link route into a richer material set, but no recorded board, combo example or power index confirms what it builds (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search, banish refuel or card advantage is in the text, and the only gain is material-count flexibility (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect in its text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 75 | Level 4 DARK Cyberse with a Dragon-treatment clause, a hand-material clause and a DARK-in-hand add clause makes it a clean, flexible material that still converts after its effects are negated (verified, with the negated-body claim inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | It is usable from hand for Code Talker and from the field for Borrel, which gives two zones of use, but no multi-turn redundancy is evidenced (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | It is a 1 to 3 copy non-garnet body with no lock clause, and the 1.51 average copies per deck show it is run as a low-cost slot (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean generic material body with Level 4 DARK Cyberse attributes
- Hand-material route for Code Talker and DARK-in-hand add for Borrel
- Broad live usage across 37 archetypes at 1.51 average copies
- Cheap, non-garnet slot that is easy to run 1 to 2 copies of
Weaknesses
- No searcher, draw or card advantage in its text
- No negation or interaction, so it cannot stop the opponent
- Effects are archetype-specific (Borrel, Code Talker, Dragon Link) and do not travel to unrelated decks
- Combo centrality is unverified because no recorded boards were supplied
Counters / choke points
- Negating its effects removes the Dragon-treatment, hand-material and DARK-add routes, leaving only its body as material
- Opponent interaction on the materials it links with removes the value it adds
Best use
Link material body and Borrel / Code Talker material enabler. Decks: Rokket, Dragon Link, Borrel, Code Talker.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 DARK Cyberse Effect Monster with 1700 ATK and 300 DEF; Text lets it be treated as a Dragon for a Borrel Link Summon; Text lets it be used from hand as material for Code Talker when a Cyberse you control is the link material; Text lets a DARK monster in hand be used as material when this card is used for Borrel; No searcher, draw, negation or removal effect in the text; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in the Rokket gameplay 6 archetype at 1 typical copy
- Observed: Appears in 175 decks across 37 distinct archetypes, with 1.51 average copies per deck; Top partners include Quick Launch at 77.7% and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 74.9% co-occurrence; Gameplay split: 86.9% of decks are gameplay type 7, 8% type 4, 5.1% type 6
- Inferred: Primary role is Material body, with Combo enabler as secondary, from the text alone; Remains a usable material body after its effects are negated; Hand-material route is the main accessibility path, since no searcher exists in the text
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and power index are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no searcher or hand-add evidence for the card itself no rulings supplied for the Dragon-treatment or hand-material interactions
