Blade: Wizard Rod

Weight: 36.2g (LOW END) - 36.8g (HIGH END)

• Design: Five-sided blade design with a smooth circular shape with slight bumps around.

•  Attack VS Attack performance: In an attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup,  Wizard Rod uses weight and stamina to outlast opponents on parts like Rush, Point and Taper.

• Wizard Rod on Stamina/Defense: When used on stamina or defense combinations, Wizard Rod becomes a mighty tank; while on Ball setups can generally get KO'd, it still has a lot of staying power in the stadium. Due to weight, it also prevents bursts where the bit starts to slip out, still staying in the game, which can lead you to have stamina victories in battle. On Hexa setups if you tilt launch you should be nearly winning majority if not a lot of matches against attack setups, you will lose towards stamina builds that use ball.

Strengths:

• Weight: Wizard Rod is a very heavy stamina blade; it has a strong defense for both its weight and circular shape.

• Stamina: Wizard Rod due to OWD has insanely good stamina outclassing and being the most consistent stamina option to use. 

• Weaknesses:

• Gap: Wizard Rod, like any Beyblade with a gap, is more susceptible to a Burs; however, while I am listing this as a weakness because of the weight of Wizard Rod, it somehow like can negate this as an issue. You can still burst at low or tall heights, but the weight helps keep it together from bursting. 

• Overall, Wizard Rod has set the new benchmark as of May 2024 to test for stamina. It beats all other options when used in stamina combinations like Ball/Orb/Disc Ball. It can be used effectively in defense combinations, has some weird KO resistance on the Ball, and gets saved from Bursting due to the weight. In Attack VS Attack, it can outlast attackers via pure stamina. This release is a MUST-HAVE to compete in the current meta of Beyblade X.

Gameplan: On stamina and defense setups to tilt hard launch to out last your opponents, on attack setups to just flat launch it.

Combos:

Attack: Wizard Rod 5-60/9-60/1-60 / T / R (Meant VS Attack types only to defend against them and out last via stamina)

Stamina: Wizard Rod 5-60/9-60/B/O/DB/G

Defense: Wizard Rod 5-70 H / 5-60 HN/D

Ratchet: 1-60

Weight: 6.og

• Design: 1-60 is a ratchet that has 1 side and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 1 wide point.

• 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.

• Impact: Due to being focused on one point this allows 1-60 to be unique and use its 1 side to the advantage of having one strong impact hit.

Weakness:

• Stamina: 1-60 generally has poor stamina and balance it is meant to be used for attack and or balance combos. 

Bit: Rush

Weight: 2.1g

• Design: Rush is a small flat but that features an elevated gear focused for the Xtreme line and features a stat of 80 for high Burst resistance. 

Strengths:

• BEST attack bit for Beyblade X: Since Rush is focused on the Xtreme Line and does so consistently it is the best attack bit as it allows for good speed and control in the Xtreme Stadium. 

• Good Stamina: Since this bit doesn't really waste time in battle it is pretty effective as an attack bit to do the job that is needed.

• Able to pick up strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.

• Burst Resistance: Due to being a Bit with an 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit great to use due to minimal Burst risk.

Weaknesses:

• Wear: With how this bit is designed you might end up having this wear and being slightly less consistent than mint, this does not greatly affect gameplay but can get pretty annoying over time due to a poor design by Takara Tomy.

• Low stamina:  Even though we mentioned good stamina, if this thing wears a lot it can lead to failure to use the Xtreme Line sometimes which can cause a depletion in stamina.

Gameplan:

• Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a flat launch or a slight angle to utilize the stadium's gimmicks and aim for knockouts.

• In the case of Rush: you want to decide if you tilt or do a flat launch since if you do flat you will do repeated Xtreme Dash movement, or if you do tilt it could work against certain opponents to counter and defeat them.
