Heros Deck #773436 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Neos-based or HERO Fusion boards (2500 to 3100 ATK), using Wake Up Your Elemental HERO and Shining Neos Wingman to attack multiple times.; Elemental HERO Sunrise and Elemental HERO Core as board-building fusions that gain ATK or make multiple attacks.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: search a HERO with Elemental HERO Stratos or E - Emergency Call, then use Instant Contact, Favorite Contact or Miracle Fusion to reach a Neos-based Fusion.
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond to the opponent's attack with Elemental HERO Spirit of Neos, use Forbidden Droplet to halve the ATK of a key monster, then extend with a Fusion.
• Recovery: Fusion Substitute can banish itself from the GY to return a Fusion Monster to the Extra Deck and draw 1. Spirit of Neos and E - Emergency Call can re-search Neos and HERO monsters.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into a searcher chain: twelve searcher-text cards in the Main Deck give about a 94% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), and the Neos hub (Elemental HERO Neos x2, plus Spirit of Neos and Stratos as searchers) keeps the Neos-based Fusions reachable. Its Extra Deck is fully used (9 of 9 Fusions) and the top Fusions reach 2500 to 3100 ATK, which earns the offensive and Extra-Deck dimensions. Points were not earned from HERO's popularity, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from the consistency and closing power of the whole system. Interaction is thin for Duel Links (no hand traps, only 3 negation-text cards), and several conditional cards (Book of Eclipse x3, Forbidden Droplet x2, Solid Soldier) are often dead in a given hand, which holds back the brick and interaction dimensions. No recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median scores rest on text inference and are capped near the middle of the scale.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange not blended (weights taken from Combo profile only). Structural ≈ 59.3, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Engine compactness (2); Dead-tech density (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*59.3 + 0.20*56 + 1 = 59.6, rounded to 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher density (12 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to the engine on turn 1 or 2.
• All 9 Extra Deck slots are used, with multiple Fusion routes and strong 2500 to 3100 ATK payoffs.
• Neos is searchable from more than one card, so the Neos-based Fusions are not a single-copy dependency.
• Fusion Substitute provides GY recursion of Fusion Monsters.

Weaknesses

• No hand traps and no floodgates, so going-second interaction is limited.
• Book of Eclipse x3 and Forbidden Droplet x2 are conditional and can be dead in many hands.
• No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be verified.
• Several Fusion lines require Neos or specific Neo-Spacian cards, which concentrates risk on a few cards.

Critical choke points

• Elemental HERO Neos (2 copies) gates four or more Neos-based Fusions; if it is not reached, those lines stall.
• Fusion enablers: 7 Extra Deck enablers with about 76% chance of at least one going first (Inferred).

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in duel-links: 30 Main (20 to 30), 9 Extra (0 to 9), 0 Side; Super Polymerization Limited at 1 copy, legal.; Card text and stats for all 30 Main and 9 Extra entries, from the evidence cards array.; Copy histogram 10 x1, 4 x2, 4 x3 sums to 18 distinct and 30 Main cards.; Role-hint counts: 12 searcher, 3 negation, 10 removal, 0 hand trap, 0 floodgate, 3 tech.
• Observed: Usage statistics for HERO Fusion core cards show high inclusion in archetype-standard lists (archetype-level observed usage only).
• Inferred: Opening-hand Searcher P 0.94 and Extra Deck enabler P 0.76 going first, 0.83 going second (hypergeometric).; Neos hub choke risk and conditional brick rate for Book of Eclipse and Forbidden Droplet.; Structural scores D1 to D14 from text read and probability, with no recorded boards.; Going-first and going-second power estimates.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit; no dated metagame sample exists.; D12 side-deck adaptability, neutral because Duel Links has no side deck.; D4 floor and median, neutral because no recorded boards exist.
• Data gaps: No parseable recorded boards (combos_evidence total 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown. usage_statistics appears to mark Extra Deck cards as not in this deck (for example Aqua Neos, Shining Neos Wingman, Wake Up Your Elemental HERO, Marine Neos, Sunrise, Thunder Giant, Flame Wingman) even though cards[] lists them in the Extra zone. Its core_present_pct (59.1) and missing_core list are therefore unreliable; by name, 20 of 22 core cards are present (only Protection of the Elements and Rainbow Dragon are absent). No side deck exists for Duel Links, so post-side evidence is not applicable. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
