In addition, Dark Calling may also fusion summon Evil HERO Internal Sniper. Dark Calling may banish monsters in your hand or graveyard as materials. This spell card has a useful effect when your materials are in the graveyard.

First effect:
Evil HERO Infernal Sniper cannot be destroyed by the effects of spell cards. This effect provides protection for this fusion monster. This layer of protection prevents some strategies against this fusion monster.
For instance, cards such as Dark Hole cannot destroy Evil HERO Infernal Sniper. These are powerful spells against many monsters. These spells are ineffective against Evil HERO Infernal Sniper.
However, Evil HERO Infernal Sniper is not an unstoppable fusion monster. Opponents can play around this effect. An opponent can destroy this fusion monster with traps such as Mirror Force, and opponents can destroy this monster by battle.
Second Effect:
Evil HERO Infernal Sniper inflicts 1,000 life points of damage at the start of your standby phase. Fusion monster consistently burns the opponent. It poses a major problem because multiple turns with this fusion monster on the field may inflict a lot of damage.
However, Evil HERO Infernal Sniper only has 2,500 DEF. Many monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! can destroy this monster in battle. It only takes a powerful monster such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon to destroy this monster.
In addition, an opponent can also destroy Evil HERO Infernal Sniper with a trap and the effect of a monster. A powerful trap can solve this problem for the opponent. A monster such as Black Luster Soldier Envoy of The Beginning can banish this fusion monster from the field.
Support:
Evil HERO Infernal Sniper has excellent support from Evil HERO and HERO. This fusion monster is a member of HERO and the sub-archetype of Evil HERO. You can easily fusion summon this monster with Dark Fusion. Elemental HERO Stratos may add one of the fusion materials from the deck to hand.
Labyrinth of Nightmare is one of the best traps for Evil HERO Infernal Sniper. This trap card will change this fusion monster to defense position during the end phase of each turn. You can attack the opponent with this fusion monster and it will change its battle position to defense with Labyrinth of Nightmare. Therefore, Evil HERO Infernal Sniper will activate its effect on your standby phase to inflict 1,000 damage to the opponent.

Card Rating:
Overall, Evil HERO Infernal Sniper is a mediocre card. It has decent stats for a fusion monster. The first effect is a useful ability for protection against spells. However, the second effect of this fusion monster is inconsistent because an opponent can easily destroy this monster by battle or with a trap card. Opponent have many options to remove this card from the field. Therefore, I only recommend Evil HERO Infernal Sniper in a casual deck.
Card Rating: 2.0 out of 5.0 stars
