Needle
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
Needle can take pretty strong hits but lacks stamina to really be considered too serious in the current meta, none the less this is a welcome addition to any bladers collection.
