Valkyrie Funfte — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 48 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Valkyrie Funfte converts into value mainly as a Level 2 LIGHT Fairy body that pairs with the Level 2 Tuner Diviner of the Herald for a Level 4 Synchro (Herald of the Arc Light, present in 59.8% of its decks), plus a gated Foolish-style Spell/Trap send. Its 800 ATK and 1200 DEF earn nothing; the score comes from this material/engine role, which is confirmed by deck co-occurrence but not by any recorded combo. Because its Spell/Trap dump requires controlling another 'Valkyrie' and provides no disruption, accessibility and effect interaction stay low, keeping the card in the mid range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 42 | Appears in 87 recorded decks (avg 1.15 copies) but its effect needs another 'Valkyrie' on board, so it is not a self-contained starter (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 36 | Does nothing alone; with Diviner of the Herald it reaches a Level 4 Synchro (Herald of the Arc Light in 59.8% of its decks), i.e. a fair board only with help (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 48 | Sending 1 Spell/Trap from Deck to GY is card-neutral and fuels GY/recursion lines rather than generating raw advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | No negation or removal; the only interactive element is a 200-ATK-per-opponent-banished-monster boost to 'Valkyrie' monsters (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A clean Level 2 LIGHT Fairy non-Tuner that pairs with the Level 2 Tuner Diviner of the Herald for a Level 4 Synchro, and still converts as material even if its effect is negated (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Effect-negated it is still a usable Level 2 body, but the once-per-turn ignition effect needs a live partner and offers no multi-zone or multi-turn recovery (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 56 | Runs as a 1-of with no locks and no garnet, though it is effectively tied to a Valkyrie partner (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 2 LIGHT Fairy body that pairs with Diviner of the Herald for a Level 4 Synchro (Herald of the Arc Light).
- Foolish-Burial-for-Spell/Trap effect (send 1 Spell/Trap from Deck to GY) enables GY-based Spell/Trap lines.
- Appears across 20 distinct archetypes, showing it is broadly splashable as a small body.
- No locks or heavy garnet cost; typically run as a 1-of.
Weaknesses
- Its Spell/Trap send requires controlling another 'Valkyrie' besides itself, so it is dead without setup.
- Provides no negation or removal of its own.
- The ATK boost (200 per opponent's banished monster) is marginal and depends on the opponent's banished count.
- Once-per-turn, archetype-locked ignition effect.
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation leaves only a small 800/1200 body.
- Hand traps such as Ash Blossom can stop the deck search/send line.
- Decks that keep few banished monsters minimize the 'Valkyrie' ATK boost.
Best use

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: 'Valkyrie' monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each of your opponent's banished monsters.; Card text: if you control another 'Valkyrie', you can send 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to the GY, once per turn.; Type/stats: Level 2 LIGHT Fairy, ATK 800 / DEF 1200.
- Observed: 87 recorded decks run it, avg 1.15 copies (mostly 1-of), main deck in all cases.; Runs alongside Diviner of the Herald (74.7%) and Herald of the Arc Light (59.8%).; Spread across 20 distinct archetypes, led by Valkyrie (37.9%).
- Inferred: As a Level 2 non-Tuner it pairs with the Level 2 Tuner Diviner of the Herald for a Level 4 Synchro.; The Spell/Trap send supports GY-Spell/Trap value rather than raw card advantage.
