Weight: 38g (LOW END) 38.3g (HIGH END)
Design: Whale Wave is a 5-sided blade with curved sections that resemble waves, leading to major hit contact points.
Press Attack: Whale Wave is designed to use its tall height and curved blades to press down on opponents, delivering powerful attacks that weaken their stamina, allowing it to outlast them in battle.
Smash Attack: Whale Wave's large, focused contact points can deliver critical hits, launching opponents into the Over Zone or Xtreme Zone. It can also cause Bursts by targeting the Ratchet if tilted correctly.
Attack vs. Attack Performance: In Attack vs. Attack (AVA) matchups, Whale Wave lacks stamina, requiring a hard launch to outmatch the opponent.
Attack vs. Defense/Stamina: Whale Wave is a strong attacker but needs a powerful shoot to remain effective during the end game.
Stamina/Defense Use: On stamina or defense setups, Whale Wave can deflect opponents due to its strong recoil. However, this recoil can backfire, making it a double-edged sword in battle.
Strengths:
Weight: Whale Wave is one of the heaviest blades, giving it an advantage over lighter options.
Smash/Upper Attack: Its curved design enables it to deliver hard-hitting attacks, either launching opponents into the air or delivering strong forward force.
Weaknesses:
Gap: Like many blades with gaps, Whale Wave is more susceptible to Bursts, particularly at taller heights.
Recoil Control: Whale Wave struggles to manage its recoil, which can make it ineffective if it’s thrown off balance.
Glass Cannon: While it hits extremely hard, it also has no stamina, making it vulnerable if it doesn’t win early.
Gameplan: Use setups with a low height and a slight tilt to slam down on opponents, delivering powerful force to knock them out.
Combos:
Attack: Whale Wave 9-60 / 7-60 / 3-60 / 5-60 / 1-60 / Rush / Point / Taper / Low Flat
Defense: Whale Wave 5-70H / 9-60 / 1-60 / Dot
Overall
Whale Wave is a must-have blade, offering heavyweight and incredible attack potential that can Burst, KO, or achieve an Xtreme Finish against opponents.
