Unicorn Sting 5-60GP
BX-26
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: 6.6g
Design: 5-60 is a ratchet that has 5 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 5 somewhat wide points.
Strengths:
Stamina: Generally due to the shape and its OWD (outwards weight distribution) it can have greater stamina than other ratchets giving Beyblades more balance.
Defense: Due to being 5 sided and thick, this ratchet has some of the best defense out of all the ratchets and only really is worse than 9 sides due to how 9 sides is exposed.
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.
Weight: 2.3g
Design: GearPoint is a Beyblade X bit with high burst resistance and a small semi-sphere on the bottom with extended gears in a cone shape. The bit is designed where if it stands still it has stamina and if it tilts it has attack.
Strengths:
Decent Stamina: Being a gear variant of Point it does share similar traits of stamina, while you won't get the same performance as ball you will have it where it is like better than regular Gear Flat and sometimes could be able to beat regular Point. The benefit of Gear Point comes done to the aggression with some stamina to help it in the end game.
Good counter-movement: Since this is a bit that is like Point you can do similar properties of use and have this be used for counter-movement to fight back against blades.
Xtreme Dash: If launched correctly similar to a point gear ball can be used to do have movement that can fight back against whatever Beyblade it is up against to KO them or Xtreme.
Weaknesses:
KO Risk: Due to shape not being something that can really grip the stadium it can easily be KO'd costing you big points.
Mold Variation: There are two molds of Gear Point, the first one the ball is exposed a lot so if you hard shoot you will have stable stamina, the other the ball isn't as exposed and if you hard shoot you will go aggresive right away, if you have the second mold then you have a bad gear point since it won't function as good as the regular mold but still usable.
Gameplan:
Somewhat tilted angle shoot and throw: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a slight angle and throw the Beyblade on the opposing side from where you launch. This is to avoid knockouts and to conserve stamina.
Needs a STRONG shoot to be consistent.
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. The ratchet is solid while the bit is just alright but this is highly recommended since it is the only thing that can really affect Phoenix Wing other than some blades like Hells Chain.
