In juxtaposition to cards that require summoning, yes, the skill does not compare. However, this is a buff-all card that is only 50% less in power than identical summon-card skills. Stocking Master and many of the previous element buffer receive a 100% skill buff in comparison, so this card is better than the elemental buffers from RR.

Nubee is not hosting this game pro-bono. They want players to spend money to get exclusive, good cards. So, they've moved away from making RR cards comparable to paid cards to make a profit. I think that Netherworld Princess was the last RR whose skill was as powerful as paid cards, but I am not entirely sure.

You do not need to spend money to rank at 500 or 300. Of course, it helps, but the amount of money that you spend on swords or rods can be less than that spent earning an HUR from summoning.

For free players, or even unlucky cash players, this card has a useable, decent skill.
