Blade: Viper Tail

Weight: 34.6g (LOW END) - 34.9G (HIGH END)

• Design: Three-sided blade design with sharp trianglular aggressive contact points. 

•  Attack VS Attack performance: In an attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup, Viper Tail can destablize opponents outspinning them and beating them. 

• Attack VS Defense/Stamina: ViperTail is a very hard hitting attacker that does great smash attack.

• ViperTail on Defense/Stamina: While it may be possible in taller heights to destablize its opponents, the issue is the beyblade suffers from Recoil Release and can be very bursty on any defense or stamina setups. 

Strengths:

• Destabilizing Hits: The low hanging metal blades can sometimes cause it to destablize and harm the opponent it is battling against.

• Strong Smash Attack: ViperTail has strong smacking properties that all it to sometimes oblierate its opponent. 

Weaknesses:

• Top Heavy: Due to the design of it because of the gap, it can sometimes fall and lose stamina causing yourself to lose via being outspun or a Spin Finish.

• Gap: Like any Beyblade with a gap, ViperTail suffers from this issue, which makes it susceptible to being abused by other Blades and causing it to burst. 

• Recoil Release: Like other certain blades, due to its heavy recoil, the blade can cause the ratchet to release the bit, causing you to lose to a burst.

Overall: Due to the recoil design, it is best to use only attack combos.

Gameplan: Use this blade on any low-height attack setup using the below combos.

Combos:

Attack: ViperTail 5-60/3-60 Flat/Low Flat/Taper/Rush/Point

Ratchet: 5-70

Weight: 6.6g

• Design: 5-70 is a ratchet that has 5 sides and a tall height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 5 somewhat wide points.

Strengths: 

• Stamina: Generally, due to its shape and its OWD (outward 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. 

• 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 basically worse than 60 but better than 80.

Bit: Dot

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.
