Bound Spike
Weight: 2g
Design: Bound Spike is a Beyblade X bit that features low burst resistance and a flat bottom with a tiny sharp protruding off the bit. It has the ability where it will never fully go into the ratchet allowing to have a bounce ability.
Strengths:
KO Resistance / Burst Risk: Bound Spike is a low-resistance Bit, meaning it constantly moves in and out of the Ratchet during battle. However, this movement provides shock absorption, allowing it to mitigate impact forces and reduce the likelihood of bursting. This same effect also contributes to KO resistance, as the bouncing motion helps dissipate energy from incoming attacks, often keeping the Beyblade grounded rather than getting knocked out. As a result, while Bound Spike may not have strong burst resistance stat-wise, its mechanical properties make it surprisingly durable, allowing it to survive until the endgame in many battles.
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.
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.
Overall
This fixes most of the issues the original Spike had, except for its lack of stamina. If you're looking for one of the best defense Bits in Beyblade X, Bound Spike offers excellent defense but struggles with stamina. It's a solid and reliable choice, making it a great addition to any collection.
