You can Special Summon this card from your hand or GY by banishing 1 FIRE monster from your Graveyard, except this card, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to 200x the number of your banished "Laval" monsters. You can only Special Summon "Laval Ballista" once per turn this way.

For the most part, card is fine and isn't raising any red flags in terms of design. Granted, it does burn the opponent if you banished enough Lavals (iirc Judgment Lord and some other stuff can usually banish enough to make the burn worth it [Flamvell Counter helps]). If the Wikia weren't as terrible at filtering cards out, I would list more stuff that could fuel this card's burn effect. I don't really see this card burning too much, so yeah, most you get out of this is just a free summon for stuff (and maybe 3-mat R4 [or some Synchro] off Cannon or something; banish something to summon this, NS Cannon and then SS whatever you banished).

I'd say it's an okay card. Given how you want Laval monsters to end up in the Graveyard, it should be relatively easy to land one in the Graveyard to Summon this. And the burn effect isn't that harmful to your opponent, so it's fair. I think you'd need to banish one of the Synchro monsters or Lord to see full value of this burn effect. I think it'd be cool if it had an effect that if it leaves the field or is sent to the Graveyard, you can return1 of your banished cards to the Graveyard, as eventually, some of the Lavals in the Graveyard will end up banished. But as it is, it's a nice card for Laval. Not pushing them to competitive levels, but they don't have much in the ways of self-Summoning.
