Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) in face-up Defense Position, by banishing "Crashbug X", "Crashbug Y", and "Crashbug Z" from your Graveyard. Switch the ATK and DEF of all face-up Attack Position monsters on the field. There can only be 1 face-up "Super Crashbug" on the field.
Super Crashbug — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 34 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 34.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Super Crashbug's value is a niche board effect: it switches ATK and DEF on all face-up Attack Position monsters, which only matters if the field contains monsters whose stats are worth flipping. Its special summon requires banishing three specific Crashbug cards from the Graveyard, which caps accessibility and deckbuilding. Its 0 ATK, 3000 DEF and Level 4 DARK Fiend body earn only modest material and deck-building credit, and the high DEF did not earn points on its own. Deck evidence (2 sample decks, all Labrynth, running alongside Crashbug X, Y and Z) confirms a real but narrow home. No combo data exists, so conversion is scored from card text only.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Needs three named Crashbug cards in the Graveyard and a hand-to-field special summon, with no searcher in the evidence (verified from card text; co-occurrence with Crashbug X/Y/Z in 2 decks is observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The switch effect converts a board only when the opponent has multiple face-up Attack Position monsters; no combo boards were supplied, so this is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Banishing three Graveyard cards is a real cost and the effect returns no card advantage; there is no refuel or draw (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | The effect is a mass stat swap rather than negation or removal, so it is situational disruption for attack-position boards only (verified from card text; interpretation is inferred). |
| Material Utility | 30 | A Level 4 DARK Fiend is a usable material body, but it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set and has no clean generic material role in the evidence (verified from card stats; use is inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | It is once per field and sits face-up in Defense Position, so one removal or negation ends the effect and it has no recursion (verified from card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | It is a single copy with no garnet, but it needs three specific Graveyard Crashbugs, which limits it to a narrow Crashbug-support build (verified from card text; deck evidence observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 34.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-restriction (GY cost and summon restriction) (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 DARK Fiend with 3000 DEF gives a sturdy body that can be a material
- Mass ATK/DEF switch can flip several opposing attack-position monsters in one activation
- Single copy, no garnet requirement, and the sample decks show it runs without strain
Weaknesses
- Needs three named Crashbug cards in the Graveyard before it can be summoned
- Effect does nothing against defense-position or face-down boards
- No searcher, recursion or card advantage in the card text
- Only 2 sample decks, all Labrynth, with no combo evidence
Counters / choke points
- Negation or removal of the face-up Super Crashbug stops the switch effect
- Boards built around Defense Position monsters are largely unaffected
Best use
Niche ATK/DEF swing for Crashbug-support boards. Decks: Labrynth (observed in 2 sample decks). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set; Special Summon from hand in face-up Defense Position by banishing Crashbug X, Y and Z from the Graveyard; Effect switches ATK and DEF of all face-up Attack Position monsters; Once per field: only 1 face-up Super Crashbug; Level 4 DARK Fiend with 0 ATK and 3000 DEF
- Observed: Appears in 2 of 2 sample decks, both Labrynth, with 1 copy each; Crashbug X, Y and Z co-occur in both decks; No combo boards recorded
- Inferred: Effect value depends on the opponent having several face-up Attack Position monsters; Primary role is board breaker with some boss/end-board value; Narrow Crashbug-support home limits practical accessibility
- Data gaps: No combo boards supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion No banlist token, so 3 copies assumed Card archetype is null while the deck sample lists the card under Labrynth, which needs checking Only 2 sample decks, too thin to measure real inclusion No rulings data for the once-per-field and summon restriction interaction
