Blade: Leon Claw

Weight: 30.9g (LOW END) - 31.2g (HIGH END)

• Design: Five-sided blade that has sharp claws if tilted downwards. 

• Tilt Claws: LeonClaws unique gimmick is that it is supposed to be useful for defense setups when standing still and when tilted the claws are used for more attack.

•  Attack VS Attack performance: In an attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup,only if tilted can LeonClaw have a chance though the consistency is not too good.

• Attack VS Defense/Stamina:  If used on Taper or maybe even rush if you are lucky LeonClaw should be able to deliver strong hits but not consistent.

• LeonClaw on Stamina/Defense:  Due to its weird shape unless you want to hard tilt and hope to get lucky it is not recommended for consistency sake to be used on anything other than balance or attack.

Strengths:

• Claw Critical Hit Impact: If launched and tilted right LeonClaw can deliver strong blows.

Weaknesses:

• Low Stamina: Due to hollowed design it can be really tricky if not used on Taper Leon Claw will have no stamina left in it and will lose via being out spun or Spin Finish.

• Weight: The issue with LeonClaw is not just that it is light it is the weight distribution that makes it a issue, the shape is not good. 

• 
  

Overall: Due to its awkward shape LeonClaw is an OK blade but is very hard to use consistent. 

Gameplan: LeonClaw is best on any LOW setups that uses bits like Rush for attack or Taper and or Point.

Combos:

Attack: LeonClaw 3-60/5-60/9-60 Flat/Low Flat/Taper/Rush

Ratchet: 3-80

Weight: 7.1g

• Design: 3-80 is a ratchet that has 3 sides and a tall height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 3 wide points.

• No real difference in consistent stamina: You would need to balance tune to see if it matters or not compared to other sides like 5 sides or 9 sides, this is up to Blader since it is a case-by-case basis.   

Strengths: 

• Three sides with wider hit points: The Ratchet has wider contact points compared to a four-sided design. Although it is wider and should be easier to hit, in reality, three sides make less contact to cause a burst since they are more rounded off. 

Weakness:

• Tall Height: It is important to note that being tall in the case of 3-80 does not mean pure weakness however it means to be careful how you launch. While 3-80's generally are tighter than 3-60's or even 4-60's/80's keep mindful of how you shoot with this. 

Bit: High Needle

Weight: 2.2g

• Design: High Needle is a Beyblade X bit that features low burst resistance and a cone shape on the bottom of the bit. It is also a taller 1mm taller variant of the original Needle.

Strengths:

• KO Resistance: Unlike the original Needle HighNeedle features slightly more smushed cone shape on it. It features similar properties of KO resistance but now with the added benefit of more stamina. The only real difference being the original Needle can take more of those hits.  

• Defense Stamina: Since HighNeedle is more of a cone shape it this basically means that it will have more long-lasting stamina in attack battles managing to give a lot more than regular Needle in end game.

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. 

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.
