Wattuna — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Wattuna's value is conditional: it only converts after a direct attack deals battle damage, either by hand-summoning it after battle damage or by tributing it with non-Tuner monsters to Special Summon a Watt Synchro from the Extra Deck. That conversion is the main source of its score, and its Level 4 Tuner body is a clean material. The card has no combo evidence and no interaction, and its 800 ATK and once-per-turn limits keep it from scoring highly. Its high deck inclusion confirms it is a real Watt-shell piece, not a power driver.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Hand-summonable only after battle damage in the Damage Step, so it is not live in the opening hand; no as_starter or as_searched data exists (text-only, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | The direct-attack trigger tributes itself and non-Tuners to summon a Watt Synchro of matching total Level, which converts into a board; combos_evidence has zero boards (text-only, inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The effect costs the card itself and any tributed non-Tuners for one Synchro, with no graveyard refuel or recursion in the text (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 65 | A Level 4 LIGHT Thunder Tuner fits Synchro summons and stays a Tuner when its effects are negated (verified text, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | 800 ATK and a needs-battle-damage trigger make it easy to stop, and each effect is once per turn (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs at an average of 2.43 copies across 115 decks with no garnet or lock restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts a direct attack into a Watt Synchro summon, a high-impact board outcome from a Level 4 body.
- Level 4 LIGHT Thunder Tuner gives clean Synchro material even when its effects are negated.
- Heavily played in the Watt shell (115 decks, 98% alongside Wattkyuki) with near-universal 3-copy inclusion in its main archetype.
Weaknesses
- Both effects depend on battle damage, so it is weak without a working attack.
- 800 ATK and no interaction make it a fragile, low-impact body on the board.
- No combo or starter data, so its conversion rate is text-only inference.
Counters / choke points
- Any response that stops the monster from dealing direct-attack battle damage (inferred from text).
Best use
Starter and Tuner body that turns a direct attack into a Watt Synchro summon. Decks: Watt. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: effects are once per turn each; Special Summon from hand after battle damage at the end of the Damage Step; Tribute on direct-attack battle damage to Special Summon a Watt Synchro from the Extra Deck with total Level.; Level 4, LIGHT Thunder Tuner, 800/700.
- Observed: Included in 115 recent decks, averaging 2.43 copies (72 decks at 3).; Strong partner overlap with Wattkyuki (98.3%) and Wattcobra (93.9%).; Usage statistics show 66.7% inclusion at 3 copies in archetype 879 and 100% at 1 copy in archetype 1378.
- Inferred: Its role is a Starter that converts a direct attack into a Synchro board, with a Tuner body as secondary material value.; Its conversion rate is limited by the need for battle damage, which makes it unreliable without an attack.; A direct-attack trigger is a meaningful route, but its frequency in real boards is unmeasured.
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings supplied for the battle-damage timing and the Synchro summon interaction no starter count available, so deck resilience is inferred from archetype spread
