Whale Wave 4-70HN

BX-36 02




Blade: Whale Wave

Weight: 38g (LOW END)  38.3g (HIGH END)

Design: Whale Wave is a 5-sided blade with curved sections that resemble waves, leading to major hit contact points.

Press Attack: Whale Wave is designed to use its tall height and curved blades to press down on opponents, delivering powerful attacks that weaken their stamina, allowing it to outlast them in battle.

Smash Attack: Whale Wave's large, focused contact points can deliver critical hits, launching opponents into the Over Zone or Xtreme Zone. It can also cause Bursts by targeting the Ratchet if tilted correctly.

Attack vs. Attack Performance: In Attack vs. Attack (AVA) matchups, Whale Wave lacks stamina, requiring a hard launch to outmatch the opponent.

Attack vs. Defense/Stamina: Whale Wave is a strong attacker but needs a powerful shoot to remain effective during the end game.

Stamina/Defense Use: On stamina or defense setups, Whale Wave can deflect opponents due to its strong recoil. However, this recoil can backfire, making it a double-edged sword in battle.

Overall: Whale Wave is a must-have blade, offering heavyweight and incredible attack potential that can Burst, KO, or achieve an Xtreme Finish against opponents.

Gameplan: Use setups with a low height and a slight tilt to slam down on opponents, delivering powerful force to knock them out.

Overall

Whale Wave is a must-have blade, recognized for its heavyweight and exceptional attack potential that can Burst, KO, or achieve an Xtreme Finish against opponents. However, the other parts in its stock combo are ineffective in the current meta, with 4-70 posing a Burst risk and High Needle being outclassed by parts like Hexa and Dot. While these parts may have some niche uses, they are primarily suited for collectors. Ultimately, Whale Wave is the standout, must-have component, while the rest are more for collection purposes.
