Since it can be replayed from banish if it was boosted and gains +1 power per equipped Evo, it rewards a board state with multiple Evos and functions as a recursive pressure tool in grindy matchups. However, it competes with more consistent and higher-impact Mechanologist attacks like **Throttle, Zero to Sixty, Pulsewave Harpoon, or High Octane lines**, which often provide better raw damage, on-hit effects, or combo potential without requiring a developed Evo board. As a result, Mainframe is somewhat build-around and win-more; it can be strong in dedicated Evo lists but is generally less efficient than staple boost attacks, so it’s playable in niche Evo builds but unlikely to be a universal auto-include in co
