Blade: Hells Scythe

Weight: 32.7 (LOW END)  32.9g (HIGH END)

•  Blade Design: Hells Scythe is a balance-type blade that features 4 blades that curve upwards.

•  What Can It Do?: Hells Scythe delivers a strong smash attack and can deliver some strong hits.

• Jack Of All Trades: Hells Scythe is a jack of all trades who it can seemingly do everything, feeling very close to just being a pure balance type.

•  Attack VS Attack: For Attack, Hells Scythe can deliver somewhat good hits; depending on the user, this can either go really well or bad. For the most part it can use some of its recoil and stamina to outlast opponents specifically on setups that use Taper/Point (Balance Bits). 

• Attack vs. Stamina/Defense: This is where it really is gonna depend on the user because there are times it can just do poor if used on setups like Flat (not being consistent) if you use Taper or Point you can do OK.

• Stamina Use: Hells Scythe can be used for stamina as while its stamina is not the highest since it has a round enough shape but is still aggressive, Hells Scythe uses its aggressive recoil to bully out other blades in a stamina matchup. 

• Defence Use: For Defense, Hells Scythe has strong counterattack recoil potential as it can use heavy recoil to tire out attack types while still having enough stamina to live.

Strengths:

• Versatility: If optimized right, Hells Scythe can be used for almost anything and do well on it, depending on blader launch style and skill. 

Weaknesses:

• Inconsistency: Pretty much the same said for strengths, very inconsistent blade, but when used right, it is extremely good. 

Gameplan: Hells Scythe truly is a confusing blade; depending on how you angle and strength you can either have this working very well or failing quite a bit.  It is recommended to be used with some tilt.

Ratchet: 4-60

Weight: 6.4g

• Design: 4-60 is a ratchet that has 4 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 4 small points.

• No real difference in consistent stamina: There doesn't seem to be a significant difference in stamina performance between the three-sided and four-sided versions of the Ratchet. Though this varies on combo to combo and should absolutely get tested if you are to try anything at all.  

Strengths: 

• 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.

Weakness:

• Four sides with smaller hit points: The Ratchet has four sides with small square contact points compared to a three-sided design. Despite having smaller hit points than three sides it actually makes it easier to hit since it is not as rounded off meshed onto the ratchet.

Bit: Taper

Weight: 2.2g

• Design: Taper is a Bit that features high Burst resistance and features a semi-flat with an indent on the bottom.

Strengths:

• Great mixed stamina and attack bit for Beyblade X: The Taper Bit is similar to Flat where the design of this Bit is a semi-flat. So while it is still able to be used for attack getting that aggressive movement, you have greatly improved stamina compared to regular flat. 

• Uses the Xtreme Dash gimmick easily: The Bit works well with the Xtreme Dash performance tip, allowing for high speed and KO potential.

• Able to pick up somewhat strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving somewhat high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.

• Burst Resistance: Due to being a Bit with an 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit great to use due to minimal Burst risk.

Weaknesses:

• Mixed attack potential: Taper can have the reverse issue of Flat, while Flat can kinda fail for stamina performance, Taper can kinda fail for attack performance. It requires a good shoot to make it get to a very similar performance to Flat when Blader is optimizing for the shoot. This is both a pro and a con, you get the benefit of more controlled stamina but less use of pure attack.

• Vulnerability to self-KO: If the Bit is hard-launched and catches the stadium path, it can self-KO, which is a potential weakness. Control and technique are important when using this Bit.

Gameplan:

• Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a flat launch or a slight angle to utilize the stadium's gimmicks and aim for knockouts.
