Weight: 34.2g (LOW END) - 34.5g (HIGH END)
Design: Ptera Swing features a three-sided blade design with sharp, triangular, smoothed aggressive contact points.
Variant/Echo: Ptera Swing is a Variant/Echo of Viper Tail, sharing a similar structure but with slightly more exposed gaps and smoother contact points.
Attack VS Attack performance: Ptera Swing can destabilize opponents and outspin them by utilizing its ability to redirect momentum.
Attack VS Defense/Stamina: A hard-hitting attacker, Ptera Swing can effectively use its slope when downward banking, making it useful for disrupting stamina and defense types.
Defense/Stamina: While possible at taller heights, Ptera Swing suffers from recoil release, making it highly prone to bursting in non-attack setups.
Strengths:
Destabilizing Hits: The low-hanging metal blades allow Ptera Swing to disrupt its opponent’s balance effectively.
Decent Smash Attack: Ptera Swing has strong smacking properties, allowing it to deliver high-impact hits that can potentially overwhelm opponent.
Weaknesses:
Top-Heavy Design: Due to the gap in its structure, Ptera Swing can sometimes fall forward, losing stamina and becoming vulnerable to spin finishes.
Gap Exposure: Like other Blades with gaps, Ptera Swing suffers from vulnerability to being caught and manipulated by other Blades, increasing the risk of bursting.
Recoil Release: The high recoil of this Blade can cause premature burst losses, as the Ratchet may release the Bit unexpectedly during battle (specifically on low resistance bits).
Gameplan: Use Ptera Swing in low-height attack setups for maximum performance.
Recommended Combos Attack: Ptera Swing 5-60 / 3-60 / 7-60 Flat / Low Flat / Taper / Rush / Point / Low Rush
Overall
Ptera Swing is a strong attack Blade that thrives in aggressive, low-height setups. However, its high recoil and vulnerability to bursting make it less reliable for defense or stamina. It is a welcome addition but not a must have for attack-focused Bladers but requires careful setup to mitigate its weaknesses.
