I just can see it, there will be lots of questions about this card in the future, due to its effect being only able to respond to built-in/inherent Special Summon, and cannot respond to Special Summon that starts a Chain/occur due to resolution of a card's effect (since you cannot interrupt a card in the middle of resolving).

Unfortunately Roach CANNOT negate XYZ because it does not have a level.

Very good card because it is easier to side this in the extra slot. Kills Levianeer all day.

Can steelswarm roach negate special summon level 5 or more of

* synchro summon? (harpies, blue eyes, stardust, red dragon archfiend)

* fusion summon? (ddd, cavalry, red eyes, masked hero)

* levianeer, blue eyes from ancient stone, dragonduo

Steelswarm is a strong card as it negates the meta creatures (BE, HARPIE, PENDULUM YES PENDULUM TAKE THAT MAIOSENJU)
Yes to Synchro, SS by Effect, AND Fusion Summon as long as it is LEVEL 5+.

When facing a BE deck this card can only negate syncros. Note that Spirit dragon effect to summon another syncro blue eyes doesn't count as syncro summon

Well yeah, all of those are not inherent Summon.

As he above anon says, the only thing you can stop with Roach in a BE deck is BE's Synchro Summon.

Against BE, bring out Abyss Dweller instead.

Inherent summon....pure bs surely konami invented that s*it to print another card that does exactly the same but not tied by that bs and making it expensive af

Was super excited to tech this card into my rank 4 deck only to find out it can stop virtually nothing in the format. I got one on the date release and cant recall negating a single summon. Ty Roach. I would have preferred you to cost 3 materials and stop non inherent summons as well.

Roach would have been huge some months ago when we were in the syncro era

They can't release an Xyz in Synchro era, though.

After trying this for a while, I'm realizing this is actually overrated.
There are too many ways to play around this card, it's extremely situational, and has too low attack. It might be the most underwhelming among all staples in the same box.
