Unicorn Sting 3-70D
BX-35 03
Weight: 32.8g (LOW END) - 33.0g (HIGH END)
Design: Two-sided blade with a strong circular curve, one side is very aggressive the other side is very smooth.
Smash Attack: Capable of strong smash attack when the blade hits other opposing blades.
Attack VS Attack performance: In an attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup, Unicorn Sting has high stamina that can help outlast other attackers while still giving a strong blow. Due to the smooth side as well it can also tank strong hits to live until the end.
Attack VS Defense/Stamina: Unicorn Sting has very strong Smash Attack that can allow it to defeat defense and or stamina thrown up against it.
Unicorn Sting on Stamina/Defense: When used on stamina or defence combinations, Unicorn Sting has high stamina due to its circular shape and good weight distribution. Not only that but it can tank hard hits.
Strengths:
Multi-Purpose Use: Being a balance blade it is sometimes pretty rare that it can be more than one type of use but Unicorn Sting can be used on stamina, defense and attack combinations.
Impact Cut: Sometimes on the more aggressive side Unicorn can just impact cut a Beyblade and hard recoil KO them or smash into them causing destabilization.
Weaknesses:
Gap: Unicorn like any Beyblade with a gap is more susceptible to a Burst, it is highly recommended to ONLY use Unicorn on 60 or lower heights.
Overall: Unicorn Sting offers a blade with mixed potential of all types similar to other blades that can have this specific use but it is a multi-purpose jack of all trades. It can do defence, attack and stamina all of which are done in success.
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: Unicorn Sting 9-60/5-60/3-60 Flat
Stamina: Unicorn Sting 9-60/ 5-60 Orb / Ball
Defense: Unicorn Sting 9-60 / 5-60 / 3 -60 / 3-80 / 5-80 / 9-80 HighNeedle
Weight: 6.4g
Design: 3-70 is a ratchet with three sides and a tall height. The contact areas are three wide points.
Consistent stamina is the same: You would need to balance tune to see if it matters compared to other sides, like 5 sides or etc.. 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 than a four-sided design. Although it is wider and should be easier to hit, three sides make less contact to cause a burst since they are more rounded off.
Middle Height: In this unique height range, similar combinations to those of 60 can be run and potentially beat them by being taller to stabilize them. This has to be very generalized, but one should experiment with this height and see what benefits it can reap.
Weakness:
Tall Height: Similar to that of 80 but slightly less of an issue, the taller you are the easier of a target you are to hit the exposed ratchet, since 70 is the middle height right now, this is worse than 60 but better than 80.
Weight: 2.0
Design: Dot is a cone-shaped bit with low burst resistance and tiny spheres protruding from the bottom.
Strengths:
Stamina: Despite being a defense bit, Dot offers stamina comparable to Orb, providing solid defense while maintaining good endurance.
Weaknesses:
KO Risk: When new, Dot can be somewhat aggressive due to the protrusions on the bottom, increasing the risk of a knockout. However, this weakness diminishes as the bit wears down.
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
Unicorn Sting offers decent value for what you get. The stock combo, especially if Dot is worn, could potentially be used for defense in Beyblade X. It features an all-around blade suitable for various types, a decent mid-height wheel, and a bit that's solid for defense and stamina. While it’s not a must-have, it is a welcome addition and serves its purpose adequately. If you’re looking for something exceptional, you might consider other releases instead.
