Wizard Arrow 4-60N
BX-08
Weight:31g (LOW END) -32g (HIGH END)
Design: WizardArrow has a design akin to that of a bow and arrow, it is designed to be OWD or outwards weight distribution. WizardArrow has points that protrude outwards to four specific points with the focus of stamina.
Raw Stamina: Due to its design being a mix of defensive and stamina, it has the second most raw stamina overall compared to any Beyblade X with the first being Wizard Rod release. Raw stamina refers to the most consistent stamina performance.
Mixed Stamina Attack Use: WizardArrow when paired on tips like Taper or Flat it features a unique use. It is not that offensive for its design but uses its stamina to its advantage. Since most of the wins you will get on an aggressive set up has more to do with their stamina then it does being good for attack.
Pure Defense: WizardArrow due to its smooth shape does not offer that much recoil when being hit or giving hits. For that reason, it has good pure defense, meaning it can sometimes take some decent hits.
Strengths:
Decent stamina: Currently WizardArrow is the second most consistent stamina blade featuring the highest overall stamina performance against any of the current Beyblade X blades line up with the first being Wizard Rod.
Raw Defense: No real recoil and can be kinda tanky for Beyblade X battles.
Weaknesses:
Gap On Blade: Wizard Arrrow has a gap present on the Blade, while Arrows unique design can prevent it from Bursting, one should be very careful in battle and launch with a tilt.
Gameplan:
Attack: WizardArrow 3-60/5-60/9-60 Flat/Low Flat/Taper/Rush
Stamina: WizardArrow 3-60/5-60/9-60 Ball/Orb/Disc Ball
Defense: WizardArrow 3-60/4-60/3-80/5-80/9-80 Needle/HighNeedle/Hexa
Weight: 6.4g
Design: 4-60 is a ratchet that has 4 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 4 small points.
No real difference in consistent stamina: There doesn't seem to be a significant difference in stamina performance between the three-sided and four-sided versions of the Ratchet. Though this varies on combo to combo and should absolutely get tested if you are to try anything at all.
Strengths:
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.
Weakness:
Four sides with smaller hit points: The Ratchet has four sides with small square contact points compared to a three-sided design. Despite having smaller hit points than three sides it actually makes it easier to hit since it is not as rounded off meshed onto the ratchet.
Weight: 2g
Design: Needle is a Beyblade X bit that features low burst resistance and a sharp cone shape on the bottom of the bit.
Strengths:
Tanky KO Resistance: Needle is a unique bit since it sticks to the stadium with a sharp focused point on it. It is able to take strong beatings from whatever is thrown up against it and manage to hold its ground effectively. The effectiveness varies depending on shoot strength.
Weaknesses:
Stamina Risk: Since this is a defense bit the focus is pure defense rather than stamina, so it is possible if you somehow screw up the launch to get bullied and outspun by attackers or go up against a stamina combo and be outspun.
Burst Risk: Due to being a bit with 20 in burst resistance there is a potential risk to use as it has lower resistance than Balance and Attack bits. This is not the end all be all just something to consider.
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
This is a fine combo that comes from the 3on3 set as it offers you a good defense combination that utilizes Wizards defense potential, as such it is a welcome addition to any bladers collection.
