Heads up: If you buy something through Mall of Toys, you won’t pay any extra, but I’ll get a small commission. This helps me keep things running. Thanks for your support! 9 Armor Review Finally, the 0 Armor which is now roughly tied with the 9 Armor as the heaviest available Armor. The result was the exact same as the one versus the 2 Armor. They seem equal. Verdict: The 9 Armor It remained useful for years for this purpose, seeing frequent use on parts such as the Maximum Garuda Layer and Hell Salamander Layer. But, by 2019-2020 its usage had fallen to 11.6% of WBO winning combinations and then 6.3% in 2020-2021, as I noticed in my How Competitive Beyblade Burst Has Evolved From 2019 To 2021 article. Drain Fafnir 4 Glaive Atomic, Maximum Garuda 7 Glaive Atomic, and Hell Salamander 0 Bump Atomic

The reason is because there is only one new part included: the Atomic Dash Driver. In this article we will review it in-depth and give an overview of where the other great parts being re-released in this booster shine. Considering these results, from a purely stamina-based perspective, the Valkyrie 2 DB Core is at best a third-string right-spin DB Core below the Valkyrie and Belial 2 DB Cores, which retain their crown as the top pieces for this purpose. The benchmark tests confirm my sentiment so far that the Prominence Blade can be a little to a lot better than other currently available options for right-spin combos against left-spin high LAD combos. The center of the Valkyrie 2 DB Core is based on the Strike God Chip, which is found on the Strike God Valkyrie God Layer.Heavy Mode on the other hand can be used by rotating the Shield 90 degrees and snapping it into place. In this mode, the Prominence Shield is much more difficult to detach, but not impossible. Zone’+Z though, as we demonstrated in our review of Guilty Longinus Karma Metal Destroy-2 and as was apparent again during the tests conducted for this article, has superior defensive capability in comparison to common stamina type Drivers like Bearing and High Xtend+’ thanks to the weight of the +Z Chip. Three of Guilty’s four KOs against Zn’+Z came in the final three rounds of testing only after I had improved my shot and positioning; in a tournament environment you might not get that chance. Variable' features a rubber tip, made up of two sets of rubber spikes, that begins at standard height. The spikes are meant to wear down and break off with use so unlike most other rubber tips, Variable' will become more aggressive instead of less aggressive over time. The above list is obviously not comprehensive, but at the end of the day Atomic’ finds itself in a middling position on average among other competitive Drivers, forcing its usage to be limited in the standard Burst Format. Up until now, for right-spin the metagame has been dominated primarily by the Dynamite Blade and Astral Blade on Drivers such as the Bearing Driver, Zone’+Z Driver, Drift Driver, and Rise Driver.

For these reasons we do not recommend the use of the Legacy Disk at this time over other Stamina Disk options. World Spriggan Legacy (1 Star) Mobius 1S (Left) vs. World Spriggan Karma (4 Star) Mobius 1S (Right) Due to being owned by a different Blader, the Prominence Phoenix avatar is a separate, altered variant than an upgrade of Revive/Dead Phoenix's avatar, noted by Prominence Phoenix's red metallic body stylized as a crest, a golden armor face, gold and white plating, a turquoise gem on the lower body, and flaming wings and tail extensions.

If you found these a bit difficult to parse, I’ll sum it up for you: HXt+’ had 14 wins, At’ had 16 wins. Their performance was basically equal and varied depending on the Armor and Disk being used. The story the results above do not tell is that for all three of Savior’s wins by KO, they were inflicted immediately after a single hit at the beginning of the battle. Armor vs. 0 Armor Dynamite (F Gear) Ragnaruk Giga Revolve-9 vs. Dynamite (F Gear) Ragnaruk Giga Revolve-0

Unlike many of the other re-released components here, the 0 Armor has not been released with high frequency over the course of DB’s lifetime. Once in B-188, and then just once again in B-194’s Random Booster with Astral Fafnir Karma Venture-0. In this review we’ll be focusing on evaluating how good the Prominence Blade and Phoenix DB Core are in terms of stamina, defense, and burst resistance.

If I were to add Drift and Bearing’ into a KO defense ranking purely based on experience though, it would look something like this: While the Valkyrie DB Core has been re-released in the new product preceding B-195, that was a random booster with no guarantee of pulling it. If you don’t have the Valkyrie DB Core yet, B-195 is the best place to get it as the original release– B-187 Savior Valkyrie Shot-7–does not contain as many other valuable competitive parts. Over Disk Overview In our testing we found the balanced design of the Belial DB Core to work best for it and the Tapered Disk because same-spin stamina is not a concern for this combo is a decent enough alternative to the Giga Disk and Over Disk, which can be kept free for other combos if you are playing a multiple Beyblade battle type like 3on3 or 5G.

Heavy Mode is recommended when playing against stamina types as without it, you lose a significant amount of weight which could adversely affect your stamina (usually more than the detached Prominence Shield could affect your opponent’s stamina). Does the Prominence Blade have good stamina? This article was written in collaboration with WBO user Dan . Thank you, Dan. Ultimate Blade and Legacy Disk sections by Dan. Editing, photos, formatting, Valkyrie 2 DB Core, and 9 Armor sections by me (Blader Kei). An exception to this for the standard Burst Format might be in multiple Beyblade formats such as 3on3 or 5G especially where you can sometimes get away with more specialized combos more easily. And to be fair, even the Driver Atomic’ has the most trouble with–High Xtend+’–has trouble staying in the stadium using high RPM launchers like the Full Custom BeyLauncher LR, and also has poorer defense, so it is possible that you could thread the needle and find a place for Atomic’ in certain situations.But just how different is its performance? And is it actually better? Below, we will test the stamina and burst resistance of the Valkyrie 2 DB Core to find out if these changes produce meaningfully different results: Does the Valkyrie 2 DB Core have good stamina? While the Rise Driver was used, informal testing led us to focus on our Zone’+Z as it has just a bit more success in both spins Life After Death-wise, and is able to grip the stadium’s Tornado Ridge a touch better. It is possible that with a particularly good Rise Driver you can achieve similar or better results. Ironically, it was “Life After Death” which became a big reason for Atomic’s eventual downfall. While the Hold Driver was always capable of beating it, it was not consistent for everyone. That’s why, when the Destroy Driver and Bearing Driver–which had better LAD and were easier to use–were released in late 2017, Atomic began to see its competitive usage relegated to same-spin matchups.
