Blade: Golem Rock

Weight: 34.0g (LOW END) - 34.4 (HIGH END)

• Design: Golem Rock features a six-sided Blade with both lower and upper sections.

• Attack vs. Attack (AvA): Golem Rock is solid in attack matchups, capable of stabilizing other attackers and throwing them off balance. It competes well head-to-head and remains consistent in performance.

• Stamina/Defense vs. Attack: Best suited for defense combinations, Golem Rock is highly effective at destabilizing opponents while maintaining a strong defense. It's currently one of the most consistent defensive Blades available. 

• Stamina vs. Stamina: Golem Rock doesn’t have exceptional stamina for pure stamina battles, but it can be tested for those purposes.

•  Attack vs. Defense/Stamina: The Blade's strong impact points allow it to aggressively push opponents out of the stadium, making it a powerful attack option.

Strengths:

• Defense/Attack Potential: Golem Rock is very effective and destablizing opponents making it suitable for either attack or defense combinations

Weaknesses:

• Recoil: Due to its shape, it can be knocked back by its own recoil sometimes.

Overall:  Golem Rock is a strong Blade for attack and defense combinations, offering consistency and versatility. It’s a welcome addition to any collection and performs well across multiple setups.

Gameplan: You want to use low height attack or defense setups, for defense combos you want to try to do more of a flat launch than tilt with Golem. For attack combinations you can launch however you want to.

Combos: 

Attack: Golem Rock | 7-60 / 5-60 / 1-60 | (LR/R/P/F)

Defense: Golem Rock 5-60/ 7-60 / 1-60 | (UN/D/H)

Ratchet: 1-60

Weight: 6.og

• Design: 1-60 is a ratchet that has 1 side and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 1 wide point.

• Low Height: It is one of the lowest height ratchets, making it a great use for attack combinations or other low height setups depending on context.

• Impact: Due to being focused on one point this allows 1-60 to be unique and use its 1 side to the advantage of having one strong impact hit.

Weakness:

• Stamina: 1-60 generally has poor stamina and balance it is meant to be used for attack and or balance combos. 

Bit: Under Needle

Weight: 1.8g

• Design: Under Needle is a Beyblade X bit that features low burst resistance and a sharp cone shape on the bottom of the bit. It its 2mm shorter than that of the Needle bit meaning if you are at 60 height you are actually at 40 height.

Strengths:

• Tanky KO Resistance: Under Needle is a unique bit since it sticks to the stadium with a sharp focused point on it. It is able to take strong beatings from whatever is thrown up against it and manage to hold its ground effectively. The effectiveness varies depending on shoot strength. 

• Best Raw Stamina: Among currently released Beyblade X Bits (as of March 2025), Under Needle arguably has the best pure stamina, surpassing options like Ball.

Weaknesses:

• Burst Risk: Due to being a bit with 20 in burst resistance there is a potential risk to use as it has lower resistance than Balance and Attack bits. This is not the end all be all just something to consider. Despite being at the lower height it is somehow slightly more of a burst risk than regular Needle at times, one should use this carefully.

Gameplan:

• Somewhat tilted angle shoot and hold: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a slight angle and hold the Beyblade on to the corner of where you are to lead into the middle to get those big hits without being knocked out. 

• Be aware of the top corners on the opposite side of where the Xtreme Finish is: Aim to try to KO with your movement.

Overall: If you want a bit that is very decent defense and that has a lot of stamina, Under Needle is a solid bit that is a welcome addition toanyone's collection.
