Weight: 34g (LOW END) - 35g (HIGH END)
Design: A two sided sloped blade that extends down with large fins that extend up.
Uses a variety of attack potential: Capable of both strong upper attack (launching Beyblades into the air) and smash attack (sending Beyblades into pockets).
Attack VS Attack performance: In an attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup, SharkEdge can do alright, the issue that it has is the stamina it has and strong hits can either make or break for the match.
Attack VS Defense/Stamina: SharkEdge will certainly be your go-to if you want to nuke your opponent with a strong and powerful hit. It has a solid chance to either burst them due to the upper part of the blade making contact to hit the ratchet when it tilts, or knocking out the opponent with its attacks.
SharkEdge on Stamina/Defense: If you want SharkEdge to be a silent killer with the ability to potentially defeat your opponent with standing still and strong hits, it is possible to do so. The tradeoff of hoping it can win like that will be up to you.
Strengths:
Explosive Critical Hits: SharkEdge whether worn or mint can do VERY strong last minute KOs and strong hits to burst or to have your opponent knocked out in the end.
Weaknesses:
Low Stamina: Fast and aggressive but has low stamina, depleting quickly over time.
Negative Recoil: However, it is susceptible to recoil, which can lead to rapid stamina depletion or failure to KO the opponent when used for attack combinations. An example can be if a blade just counters it too well like PhoenixWing the recoil can work against itself and it can lose via being KO'd (Over Finish) or Spin Finish via stamina loss.
Glass Cannon: While it hits extremely hard, it also has no stamina, making it vulnerable if it doesn’t win early.
Overall: Shark Edge is a blade that is very explosive and solid for sniping ratchets, if one wants a hard hitting attacker then Shark Edge is a welcome addition to anyones collection.
Gameplan: On setups with low height on any aggressive bit that can get speed, like Flat Taper, you must hard launch and aim to defeat your opponent quickly.
Combos:
Attack: SharkEdge 3-60/4-60/5-60/9-60 /7-60 Point/Flat/Low Flat/Taper/Rush/Low Rush
Stamina:SharkEdge 3-60/4-60/5-60/9-60 Ball/ Orb / Free Ball
Defense: SharkEdge 3-60/4-60/5-60/9-60 Needle/HighNeedle/Under Needle
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.
Weight: 2.3g
Design: Quake is a flat bit that is cut diagonally with one side with more exposed gears to cause a jumping motion in battle.
Strengths:
Strong Hits: If Used right Quake can actually deliver bit hits and KOs due the fast speed of how it's designe.
Burst Resistance: This bit has 80 Stats in Burst resistance, which makes it great to use due to minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Low Stamina: The Bit may not be ideal for battles that require endurance, as it lacks stamina. Stamina is essential for outlasting opponents in long battles. In the context of a battle if you get your hits at the start and don't miss you have nothing to worry about. However, with Quake, this issue is even greater as it barely has much stamina to begin with.
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. Especially with Quake you can easily self KO jumping into any of the stadium pockets.
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.
Generally with Quake: You can do either flat shoot or tilt on case by case basis depending if you want to try to focus on the Xtreme Line to try and KO or try to destabilize and harm the opponent.
Overall
Shark Edge is a solid attack blade that has both smash and upper attack properties making a firece blade to this day as it can target blades like Wizard Rod and do somewhat effective. 1-60 is also nice to have for attack combos due to its impact it gives attack combos, however the Quake bit while funny is very useless here unless one just wants to not pull the prize and wants this bit. Otherwise this release is a welcome addition to anyones collection.
