Bear Scratch
Rhino Horn but if you upgraded it then made it worse
Weight:Â 29.6g (LOW END) - 29.9g (HIGH END)
Design: Bear Scratch features 4 focused contact points with a jagged, sharp shape that excels at delivering hard, powerful hits.
Attack VS Attack: In an Attack vs. Attack (AVA) matchup, Bear Scratch relies on early aggression. Since it has no endgame stamina, the goal is to finish the battle quickly, either by KO or Xtreme Finish. Bear Scratch can also use its recoil to counter certain attackers when paired with combos like 5-60 Point, which helps absorb some recoil and tank hits on any Flat bottom. Although due to the poor weight Bear will likely get thrown around the arena.
Defense VS Attack: Bear Scratch is not suitable for defense setups, as its high recoil often works against it, leading to self-KOs or bursts.
Attack VS Stamina: Bear Can be used on aggressive setups like Rhino Horn but the issue is the light weight makes it really hard to be consistent since you are banking on tiny contact points and bumps to do the work.
Strengths:
Hard Hits: Bear Scratch is among the top blades for hard-hitting attacks due to its square shape, allowing for impactful hits that can knock opponents into the Over Zone.
Weaknesses:
Poor Stamina: Bear Scratch's lack of stamina means if it fails to land decisive hits early, it will lose momentum and be easily outspun.
Gap Vulnerability: Like other blades with gaps, Bear Scratch is susceptible to bursts. It is recommended to use this blade on 60 or lower heights to minimize this risk.
Recoil Release: Due to its high recoil, Bear Scratch can cause the Ratchet to release the Bit, leading to self-bursts.
Gameplan: Use Bear Scratch on low-height setups with bits like Low Flat or Rush, aiming for fast, controlled hits to capitalize on its hard-hitting potential.
Combos:
Attack: Bear Scratch 9-60 / 5-60 / 3-60 /1-60 / 7-60 Rush / Low Flat / Flat / Point
Overall
Bear Scratch is an aggressive blade that can deliver devastating hits but struggles with stamina and recoil. It excels in early KO attempts but falters in longer battles.
